Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Minima naturalia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Simplicius (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ways to improve Sir David Roche, 1st Baronet

[edit]

Hi, I'm Barney the barney barney. Rinnenadtrosc, thanks for creating Sir David Roche, 1st Baronet!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please include references. History of Parliament online is good if there is an entry.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Barney the barney barney (talk) 14:28, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete DYK nomination

[edit]

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Catherine Hayes (soprano) at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 20:04, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

[edit]

Nobody ever tells you this, you have to work it out for yourself. Many of the good sources are also hidden behind paywalls and require a certain amount of ingenuity to get into them without spending a fortune.

  1. History of Parliament online is good for MPs, but is only partly complete. It should be completed in the next few years, so some MPs are included, others aren't.
  2. Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Note only dead individuals are covered. Requires subscription (i.e. a library card number) via your local library, although their paywall arrangement is rather pathetic and it wouldn't take much hacking. Roche isn't in it.
  3. Who's Who. Only started publication in about 1905, so MPs from before this date aren't usually covered. Usually fairly good directory entries. Again, library access required.
  4. The Times Digital Archive. Includes the full run of the Times from 1785 to 1985, (but not the Sunday Times, and for after 1985 see below). Library access required. Often contains reasonable obituaries of establishment figures. There's quite a bit of political reporting on Roche under the "Ireland" heading.
  5. The Guardian and Observer digital archives. Includes full run of the (Manchester) Guardian and the Observer until 2003. Can't find much in here to be fair.
  6. More recently the Gale database contain most newspapers, including The Times, which otherwise is behind a paywall online.

If you're in the Republic of Ireland, I'm not so familiar with the local library system and what they generally provide. You might be able to join a library in the UK despite living in Ireland - the rules vary from county to county - or get a friend/relative in the UK to register for you, and then you only really need the number.

Requesting revisiting the tags

[edit]

Hi,

Considerable time before you had tagged various sentences in the article Legal awareness. After your tagging we have improved article's most of the sections and certainly improvement efforts will continue. One of the sentence was related to Apllied Legal Education, may be, since you and me belong to different country background there may be a little difference between perceptions. Since any way "Apllied Legal Education" topic can be given better justice in Legal education article, after searching enough citations for discussion purpose I have started a discussion at Talk:Legal_education#Applied_legal_education . I request you to participate in the discussion and also please see if a tag 'original research' for a particular sentence can be revisited and or you and rest of community helps me in redrafting the said sentence.

Thanks and warm regards

[edit]

In the begining Legal awareness article was tagged as below. Since article has been developed a lot since then I need help in reassessment of following tags to the article also, if possible.

{{Multiple issues|confusing|date=February 2013|reason=Laudable effort has been put into this article, but it seems rambling and incoherent.}}{{essay-like|date=February 2013}}
