Prideaux Castle

[edit]

In regards to your comments on my talk page. Firstly the second set of OS coordinates on the page giving a grid reference to Prideaux place in my opinion were redundant. This is because the article clearly explains that Prideaux castle is not the same as Prideaux place. Plus if the user wants to know more information about Prideaux place they simply click on the wiki link. On the Prideaux Place page the coordinates for the location are clearly given on the top right hand corner where the user can click on it and select their favourite mapping website to view the location. The coordinates in the top right hand corner are by far the most used on wikipedia. It is just convention when you go on an article the location should be in the top right hand corner.

As for your second comment the latitude and longitude coordinates when clicked are converted into a 10 figure grid reference so if that is what people prefer then that is what they can use.

I stand by my edit on the page. But let me know what you think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjaminevans82 (talkcontribs) 00:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As you say, a matter of stylistic"opinion". But in fact, not all "redundancy" is eo ipso stylistically bad; sometimes it constitutes rhetorical pleonasm, a device useful in extirpating a perennial confusion. --Ziusudra 14:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've found Bates' William the Conqueror and sourced out the birth date range for Billy. Hopefully this will stop the endless edit warring. Someday, I'll finish with bishops and start on the royalty/nobility... Ealdgyth - Talk 01:37, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely done. Thanks. —Ziusudra (talk) 02:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ziusudra, I saw your note on Ealdgyth's page about not knowing a way to find out who added what to an article in page history. You may be interesting in Wikiblame, a tool which does exactly that. Mike Christie (talk) 12:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the tip. Just what I was looking for. Thanks also to Flominator for creating the tool! —Ziusudra (talk) 20:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Steven C. Wheelwright notable alumni

[edit]

Hello Ziusudra, You added Steven C. Wheelwright to the notable alumni list in East High School (Salt Lake City). I've removed it because their Wikipedia article doesn't mention any connection with the school. You can add it again if you add a reference to a reliable source that mentions he is an alumni.

Reliable Source?

[edit]

Steven C. Wheelwright was graduated from East High in 1961. The East High School Yearbook Eastonia volumes 1959, 1960, and 1961 are available on Ancestry.com. There are about a dozen or so images of him in those volumes showing his activities. His senior class image (1961) is posed in a graduation gown. Although there is no image of his diploma, it seems indisputable that he is an alumnus. Ancestry.com is a subscription reference, but it offers a 14-day free trial. —Ziusudra (talk) 02:02, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
