Hi there, I notice that a while back you added Prince Charles to the list of recipients of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. however according to the official page of the order Charles is not a member.

Thanks for uploading Image:Royita.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Alphabeticization of categories is a bad idea and is opposed by many people. For this reason it is listed on Wikipedia:Semi-bots as something which should not be done by bots. It is easy to do what I see as great harm to Wikipedia using a bot in this way, but harder to repair the damage. This means it is unsporting to use a bot in this fashion. I will be tracking your edits and will revert them if you continue with this practice. Thank you. Chicheley 14:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've really you haven't actually been doing full alphabeticization, but I would urge you to edit manually in any case. Looking at the people you worked on, many of them are not in the most essential categories, eg diplomats and generals who are categorised by years of birth and death, three of four honours, and maybe an education institution or two, but not as diplomats or generals! The only way to sort the categories on an article out properly is to look at them manually. I think occupational categories should come first and the year of birth and death categories are unimportant and should go last, and I've read comments to the same effect from lots of other people.

Bad News. I'm afraid the new version of the Irish coat of arms you uploaded isn't the Irish coat of arms. It seems to be someone's attempt to make one, but is the wrong type of harp, at the wrong angle, with the wrong number of strings, wrong decoration, etc. (The version you uploaded seems to be based on a version of the harp once used on the royal standard.) The one that you replaced actually is the correct one. (If you compare the two of them closely you'll see that they are not the same.) So it looks like you'll have change back all the substitutions you made. Sorry for bringing the bad news. FearÉIREANN\^{(caint) 17:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)} [reply]

Why on earth did you revert my corrections? William II never had a daughter names Wilhelmina, her name was Sophie and she is rather well known so it really wouldn't be hard to check that. Sascha was just an informal nickname used by Alexander's family and friends. Or should we call Prince Frederick, King William II and Queen Beatrix Fritz, Guillot and Trix in the template as well? Känsterle 08:58, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I made some additions to Count of Vasaborg, one addition being an attempt to describe theur coat-of-arms. You seem to be the resident coat-of-arms guy. My descriptive abilitues are not perfect, as I do not know all that terminology. Vasaborg arms was the same as that of the dynasty of Vasa, but a diagonal something (line? balk? spar? what is that thing showing bastardry?) going through. The picture of Vasa dynasty's arms you surely find somehwere - it depicts a tied bunch of wheat or something, harvested in late summers from fields. Could you try (1) to get the actual picture of Vasaborg arms to add as picture and (2) to apply heraldry terminology to the description I tried to write there. ObRoy 20:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The naming conventions say that it is acceptable to use a title to disambiguate between two (or more) people of the same name, one of whom has a title. I always think it's rather messy and counter-intuitive to use dates as the disambiguating factor. And the conventions don't actually seem to allow for them anyway, preferring a descriptor. -- Necrothesp 09:08, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Craigy,

I am enjoying wikipedia so far... there is lots of good stuff here. I am looking forward to contributing as well.

Perhaps you are not the correct person to ask... but I will anyway....

If I edit a page to either correct or add information, must I have a source? There are some things I know, but would be hard pressed to find a definative reference.

I tried to find the answer to this question in the help, but was not succesful.

Broh.

I addes some stuff on the Fortran programming language page which is definitely non-controversial.

The example "hello, World" program for Fortran 66 would not work as written, so I updated it. It would have produced "ello, World".

The problem with Fortran 66 is that I do not know if a "standard" like ANSI or ISO was ever written.

How do you embed the little "reply-to-me" icon in a talk page?

I've moved the series of lists of ambassadors from the United Kingdom to 'List of High Commissioners from the United Kingdom to Foo', including articles that you have recently created (High Commissioners from the United Kingdom to Australia, etc).

I have a need to generate some heraldic images (for coats of arms) for several articles and am not proficient in this. Very grateful if you can help. The blazons of arms are given at Prince Belmonte under 'Arms', and there is almost total overlap with Duke_or_Duchess_of_Acerenza and Marquess_or_Marchioness_of_Galatone, although the blazon for 'Grillo' also appears in these latter two cases. This is a piece of urgent work that I would gladly something that I would be glad to offer reward for- in terms of a donation to Wiki if that is appropriate. Please could you guide me on the best way of accomplishing this goal of depicting these arms to your high standard? Thank you- Aquilachrysaetos 07:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that a concerted effort is underway to delete coats of arms you created on the basis that you categorised them as coat of arms, and that means fair use, meaning that as fair use images they cannot be used in templates. If you created them you might want to recategorise as PD-user. That way you claim copyright and then release them fully for usage.

• I've deleted no images uploaded by Craigy144. In the particular case Jtdirl is referring to, Image:RoyGrec.png was removed from {{House of Oldenburg (Glucksburg-Greece)}} because it is tagged with {{coatofarms}}. The best interpretation of this tagging is that we can use it under fair use. Jtdirl asserts you created this image, but there is at this time no on-wikipedia evidence of this. Do not re-tag this or any other image of yours as {{PD-user}} unless you actually created the image yourself. Improper tagging, especially assertions of self-creation when there is evidence of it not being so, is highly inappropriate, so I encourage you not to do so. If you did in fact create this image, then certainly tag it as above, and by all means feel free to put it back on the template in question, or indeed any other template where you feel it is appropriate. All the best, --Durin 16:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However the category that I was assigning them to was 'Orders of knighthood of the United Kingdom'. My particular interest is in military decorations and campaign medals, but I do have a familiarity with this topic. It has always been my understanding that these are orders of knighthood - I have certainly seen them categorised as such in a number of books.

Hi, while it was nice of you to create a wiki link to the 16th Baroness Wentworth, famous for the Crabbet Arabian Stud, it's a red link. While there is an article on her mother, Lady Anne Blunt, there isn't a separate one for Judith. Would you care to create one? It would be very nice if you could!

Given that you are the peerage expert, can you fact-check the end of the Crabbet Arabian Stud article, "Crabbet under Cecil Covey" section, and explain if Lady Anne Lytton and Lady Winifred Tryon are the same person or two different people? Also, can you connect the dots of Lady Anne Lytton's title to Lady Anne Blunt, given that somehow it appears that Lady Wentworth's title didn't go to her daughters, even though, according to the Lady Anne Blunt article, it was supposed to?? Just curious...and thanks in advance. Montanabw 19:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In July 2005, you edited the Earl of Galloway article, adding 'Senwick House' as the family seat. Is this right?

The list of office-holders files them under "Gentlemen of the Bedchamber," but when describing the Ladies of the Bedchamber, says that they "performed the same duties as lords of the bedchamber did for a male sovereign." I think that's sufficient evidence to treat them as the same thing. I suspect that "Gentlemen" is the older term, perhaps from the Tudor period, when the Peerage waxed lean, and it became "Lords" when the posts began to be filled by peers.

Hello. I see that you disagree with me over the present Baron Lucas of Crudwell. Who's Who (2003 edition) and dodonline.co.uk lists Ralph Matthew Palmer as the 11th Baron. Also, Debrett's (1990 edition) lists his mother as the tenth holder and does not include Anthony Grey (Earl of Harold) in the numbering. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to Burke's or The Complete Peerage, so I don’t know if they disagree with Debrett's (also don’t know which of the three is considered the most authoritative). What are you sources for the present Baron being the twelfth holder? Hopefully we can sort this out. Regards Tryde 17:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Thanks for your answer. I have also enquired with user:Proteus (on the recommendation of user:Kittybrewster) who has access to The Complete Peerage, and according to him the Earl of Harold is included in the numbering also in this work. I have re-written the article on the Baron Lucas of Crudwell accordingly but included a note that Debrett's and dodonline.co.uk seem to disagree on the matter.

Re: your comment "his totally confuses me as to why it didn't just pass to the duke's eldest daughter, the Countess of Breadalbane and Holland (mother of Lady Grey)" The writ only accelerated the transfer to the named individual and his heirs according to the remainder of that title. So if the The Duke of X has a daughter b, a son y who has a son z. Then the acceleration would cause the numbering to go up one and to go to y. If y dies then the title goes to z potentially the titles could stay forever seperated. If z then y dies the title reverts to the Duke as the writ only applies to a named individual it accelerated. A barony by writ has never been accelerated in favour of a female and could only I suppose be done if she was the only heir of a deceased male heir apparent to the title Alci12 11:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would if only I could cite a source! While I know it to be true I can't cite it which I'd really prefer. However it's so obscure an issue it's next to impossible to cite. [Ed. Oh this might do indeed it might - from the debate inthe HoL wrt the exclusion of HPs.

Baroness Jay of Paddington :The fact that the holder of a peerage by virtue of acceleration is the holder of a hereditary peerage is confirmed by the case in 1689--I am sure that will attract the Committee's attention and support--of Charles Boyle, the eldest surviving son of the Earl of Burlington, who was summoned to Parliament in 1689 in his father's barony of Clifford. He died in his father's lifetime, leaving a son. On the death of the Earl's son in 1694 the grandson claimed and received a writ of summons in the barony. This illustrates that the effect of an acceleration is to hasten the descent of the dignity but not to change its nature." Alci12 16:13, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yup...took a little thinking but I was sure I must be able to find a source . Do you know how to move a page? As it's a writ in acceleration not 'of' even if it's commonly so called.[1] Alci12 16:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's given me a headache but I'll finish the article first. Sadly as one problem seems solved I have rememered another. I'm *sure* but again without source that the writ has one other consequence that's almost unique (there is another way but it's equally rare) that it grants the right to the eldest son the supporters of his father with his arms (with lable as eldest son obviously) [Ed btw did you not miss Flora Ann Madeline Hubble b. 12 Jun 1957 from your edit to the hastings barony? ] Alci12 17:43, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Those peerages with heirs with earldoms or below are a pain as their sons/daughters dying at the wrong moment can leave them with unexpected titles that take a really careful look to spot.

Thanks for uploading Image:Qu&DoE Wedding.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oden 09:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is Ada King-Milbanke, Baroness Wentworth is same person as Ada Lovelace?

I ask in part because I am trying to figure out why Lady Anne was not Lady Wentworth for most of her life...I had heard that she obtained the Wentworth title very late in life, just before she herself passed on, in fact...? If Ada King-Milbanke is not the same person, then what WAS her relationship to Lady Anne and how did Lady Anne get the title to pass on to her daughter Judith??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Montanabw (talk • contribs) 20:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I'd like to take issue with you over Maclean's departure from the BSP. It is true that he was dubious about L'Estrange Malone. But the BSP effectively excluded Maclean (at a meeting in 1920) because he also distrusted Rothstein and said so. My sources?. Basil Thomson's reports DJ 19:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I thought you had posted the modifications to L'Estrange Malone. There has always been an argument amongst socialists about Maclean's excusion from the BSP. So if it's alright with you, I'll post my version and see what happens. DJ 12:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, a peer does not have a surname as he/she IS the name. Secondly, forgetting about peerages, if the above lady were referred to in 'socialist' terms she would be Elizabeth Ivy Douglas-Hamilton, or Elizabeth Percy if she so chose not to take her husband's name. She certainly is not Elizabeth Hamilton, Duchess of Hamilton. This lady was born "Lady Elizabeth Ivy Percy", then married and became the "Marchioness of Clydesdale" latterly the "Duchess of Hamilton", the only surname this lady has ever had in proper terms is Percy. If, according to the somewhat questionable manual of style she must have a qualifier, it should be that of her maiden name as she does not possess a surname. Sorry I'm moving this page back.

Thanks for uploading Image:Queen - Breakthru.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

I updated it by removing her name several times as I was unable to find any proof she was a DBE, as well as a GBE. You did not provide a link to the publication in question that you referred to in the edit summary of List of Dames Commander of the Order of the British Empire to bolster your claim. If it is a fact, then you should add the category and the reference. The fact that you refuse(d) to do so despite your claim it is a "fact" is strange. O'Donoghue 22:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, I understand the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result), but the fact remains that you have:

• not added the postnominals DBE to her page
• not added the category (Category:Dames Commander of the Order of the British Empire to her page
• Not responded in re: Matilda Maria Helena Bingham Brassey (Dame of the Order of the British Empire) per the site I referenced; shouldn't she be added?

I have removed material from Sir William Arbuthnot, 2nd Baronet that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons. Biographical material must always be referenced from reliable sources, especially negative material. Negative material that does not comply with that must be immediately removed. Note that the removal does not imply that the information is either true or false.

Please do not reinsert this material unless you can provide reliable citations, and can ensure it is written in a neutral tone. Please review the relevant policies before editing in this regard. Editors should note that failure to follow this policy may result in the removal of editing privileges.--Doc^g 17:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note to say that I have to agree with your edit removing Lambton Estate. I can understand why some people think of it being part of SR, especially with Shiney Row's Biddick Woods Estate being a stone's throw from Biddick Hall.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a proper article for Shiney Row; current suburb of Sunderland with good travel links and a college centre doesn't really do the place justice

I just created this article and it was soon after marked for speedy deletion. Perhaps she was not that notable but she was a countess and the mother of an Earl. I am asking for your opinion because of your interest in peerage, such as: Mary Grey, Countess of Kent. Thanks for taking a look at Henrietta Villiers. Daytrivia 14:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is a copy of what I have posted on Talk:George Hamilton, 1st Earl of Orkney, regards.

If anyone is confused as to the naming of the offspring of Anne Duchess of Hamilton, and William, Earl of Selkirk, I suggest visiting Lennoxlove House. There, on the main staircase, are contemporary portraits of all of the male offspring of that union. The frames, which were specifically made at the time for the paintings, all clearly bear the surname Douglas-Hamilton. If specific Douglas-Hamiltons chose to shorten their names for brevity's sake, or others chose to call them by one or other of the compound surname, that does not alter the fact that they were still Douglas-Hamiltons. The only true unadorned Hamiltons of this family were the oldest brothers, as Duke of Hamilton. Brendandh 11:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lise Thibault is still the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec. Pierre Duchesne has not been sworn in. [5]. According to the source, there will be at least a 2 week notice beforehand, and there has been no notice whatsoever of a date for the installation.--Ibagli (Talk) 20:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious about how to handle an article, Lady Eleanor Talbot where nearly the whole text appears to have been taken from tudorplace.com.ar (scroll about halfway down the page).

Wikipedia's Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick is listed as the 3rd Earl of Warwick at stirnet.com and thepeerage.com what is correct I wonder? Daytrivia 14:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is precedent on the 'pedia for using English translations of foreign names in our Royal Family – George II was born Georg August; Ernest Augustus I of Hanover was known in German as Ernst August; George V of Hanover became Georg Friedrich Alexander Karl Ernst August, but we continue to call him George Frederick Alexander Charles Ernest Augustus. So surely we ought to be translating the French Louis to Lewis, just like we would Ludwig? Or do we think it's just a German thing? Value your thoughts DBD 17:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay, I didn't think you were being awkward, we all edit as we see fit! I see your point, and will act with it in future – although, regarding your example, for me it's the opposite way, I'd rather be {e.g. Michael} than {e.g. Michelle} (as the French pronounce the former! And {e.g. Mike} rather than either!) DBD 18:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yeah, of course the use ceased – she's Queen! But it's whether or not she is DssoE... DBD

Thanks for the addition to Ali Pasha Sherif. Can you add any more to that article on anything beyond his horse career? Like, just for starters, how did he get his titles? What did he do to get the money to be a horse breeder? (Inherited it, stole it, earned it, ??) All I can find are things about his horse breeding work (which is great as far as it goes), but nothing that fleshes out the whole human being the way we were able to flesh out Arabian breeders like Henry Babson or Homer Davenport, or, for that matter, Abbas Pasha. Thanks Montanabw^(talk) 22:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Archbishcantarms.PNG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

She's now red linked on a couple different articles (Baron Wentworth and Lady Anne Blunt among them). The inheritance of the Wentworth peerage got a little weird around her time, and a short article might make it all a little clearer.

Thanks for uploading Image:Buckthroneroom.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

On List of Governors of Portsmouth. You've added Richard Ingram, 5th Viscount of Irvine as governor 1715-1721, overlapping Thomas Erle. London Gazette of 26 July 1715 has Irvine ("Viscount Irwin") created Governor of Kingston-upon-Hull, rather than Portsmouth. The Viscounts of Irvine were locally powerful in Yorkshire, so Hull would seem to make sense. Could you please check your source and see if that entry needs to be moved from the one article to the other? Choess 18:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of which, what's the proper classification of Governors for succession boxes? Is it a military office? The governorships usually seem to be of castles, forts, or fortified ports.

Greetings, Craigy144. I have noticed that you have created a template which produces a succession header for Freemasonry offices. Although such offices are indeed eligible for a header of their own, it is preferable not to create templates that can only used in titles belonging to a single organisation. In addition, the colour of the header is too vivid and, in addition, it is too dark for the letters to be easily legible.

WikiProject Succession Box Standardization have looked into the issue and suggest that Freemasonry offices are given a parameter in Template:S-npo, which is used for all non-profit organisations. The header will still write "Freemasonry offices" and its colour will be acceptable. In addition, this arrangement will allow for these titles to be readily placed in succession boxes in the correct slot, according to our Guidelines.

So, what do you think?

Please answer here, in order to keep the conversation in one piece. Thank you for your time. Waltham, The Duke of 11:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to this page and your "Vandalism Warning", I am not vandalising the page, and I left some information up there. The Earl had requested that the majority of the detail be removed and so I did that, according to what he thought appropriate. Please refrain from repeating your "undos". Thank you.

Gorkysfc 22:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IF someone who is the subject of your entry has asked for it to be edited, do you not think that you should leave it how that is? It is not vandalism on my part, it is courtesy and respecting someone's wishes. Unless you are an accredited (if there is such a thing) contributor or editor, then I suggest you please leave this alone. If you are accredited, then you should at least respect the wishes of the individual concerned, as I originally stated, don't you think? I'm trying to be reasonable and have now left a fair amount in there. All that is requested is you leave things the rest out until later down the line (particularly with reference to children etc).

Gorkysfc 15:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I feel you are being deliberately difficult. I have already explained that the earl desires to reduce the availability of information on the web. He is concerned over certain aspects of the entry, the reasons for which I would not like to go into with someone like yourself, a completely random stranger, but was happy with my last posting which incorporated the majority of your input. That you have locked the edit to "your" definition is perhaps a little childish or more generously cautionary but remains completely unsympathetic to an individuals request. I do not argue that what you have put is libellous or defamatory, far from it (perhaps the rugby "like" stature comment was a little unfounded but you have removed that), but I fail to see why you are so determined to ignore the concerns of the person of whom you write. I am fully aware that the information in question is readily available but making it less readily available is oft the desire of people in this position. For your information the "Henrican" descent you have posted here hangs on the wall of the lavatory at his home under the title "Are you sitting on the throne of the King of England". All very tongue-in-cheek. After all it is likely that Caroline would be first in line.

Please try to understand, this is not an attempt to undermine, just reach a compromise.

Gorkysfc 20:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussing what hangs on his bathroom wall does not in any way cause concern in the way that parading of information on this page does. If you want me to be blunt, then I think the only way I can put it to you is to query whether you would like you house name and the fact you have a small child advertised to the whole world on the web?

As I have said, the information is not libellous nor inflammatory, and much of what was originally posted is there. One small request has been made and you have ignored it, rather unjustly it might be said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gorkysfc (talk • contribs) 21:26, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I record here what I wrote to Moonriddengirl

Moonriddengirl

With regards to the 10th Earl of Jersey, the request concerns the removal of his daughter's details from the site.

The reason that most of the detail was removed is that a large part of the details, although readily available elsewhere, are extremely accessible via the internet and are details that some institutions use for access thereby just a precautionary measure but I freely admit there isn't any other defence of this removal.

I don't want to be setting a "precedent" either but there needs to be a balance between the eagerness in the sharing of information and a responsibility to respect living subjects wishes, particularly with regard to potentially sensitive information (e.g. with regard to children).

Thanks for uploading Image:Baron Ashburton (1st creation) coa.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

• ...that it was Frances Seymour, the Duchess of Somerset who interceded with Queen Caroline to obtain a pardon for the poet and murderer Richard Savage? by User:Craigy144 nom by Victuallers 08:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC) (requested citation from author)[reply]

As you see I have nominated this article. Its very well referenced ... however the fact that I chose as the hook doesnt actually have a ref. I'm presuming this is an easy fix? Hope you are OK with the nom. Victuallers 08:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC). I thought about her not being a Duchess at the time ... but decided it was what she/history would want and you used Duchess for the article title. You are free to change it if you like Victuallers 20:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? was updated. On October 31, 2007, a fact from the article Frances Seymour, Duchess of Somerset (1699-1754), which you recently nominated, was featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I've noticed you've recently inserted a number of references to the London Gazette into Mistress of the Robes. You may not be aware that there is a template that you may find useful {{LondonGazette}} for references of this type. There has just been a major change in the way the urls for these references are constructed (fortunately yours are in the new format), if the template is used consistently it will help future maintenance of these references if the urls are changed again. It looks like you should have all the required information for the parameters to make the change very easy (I'm trying to concentrate on fixing articles which have been broken by the change).

It appears that there is a consensus on this. I would remove the dates myself, but the Template:S-par page is protected. It would be greatly appreciated if you could just eliminate this headache. Do it and maybe I will buy you a drink afterwards. Waltham, The Duke of 11:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings again, Craigy. Being an administrator, you should know that you will be hearing from me whenever there is a problem to fix with the templates, as most of them are protected and I do not have the rights to intervene (the result of a great misunderstanding; people just cannot understand how important I am). Do not worry though, as these are generally minor changes of little consequence. And, who knows, we might actually enjoy having our tea together.

Now, on to the point. As you can see here, my idea to combine academic, educational, and cultural offices in one header has kind of flopped. (Ah, the bygone era of Standard Oil and its fellow trusts...) Therefore, we are to retain the separate headers, which means that we need all three independent headers in our header scheme.

You are eager to see where I am taking this, aren't you? I am sure that you are. Well, even though I am tempted to keep this for a little more... Nah, I am too kind for this. All right, then: your task is to go to Template:S-edu and change it to read "Educational offices" instead of the current "Cultural and educational offices". This way it can be usable again. It will hardly take you any more time than it has taken you to read this very message, and you shall earn yourself a Kinder chocolate bar if you pull it off successfully. What could be valued more in this life?

PS: I should have said please somewhere in the message, but it does not fit with its jolly tone. If you do not like it, let me know and my next message will be much more polite—and boring. Cheers! Waltham, The Duke of 19:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS2: Please answer here. Waltham, The Duke of —Preceding comment was added at 19:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm....I'm not sure. I'm a sucker for Buenos, but I'd prefer you to show me a concensus than a half-hearted discussion, then I might be inclined to change it. I suppose another option would be to ask another admin, but I'd be quite happy to help if I knew proposals to change the template have been agreed. Regards, Craigy (talk) 22:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, I believe that you would be content with the discussion here. The Irish brunette gave the two-member committee (Whaleyland and me) a pretty hard time back then on an assortment of issues. And, even without the "evidence" I hereby present to you, it is only common sense that, since there is an officially condoned header succession template (s-culture) which reads "Cultural offices", it is quite redundant to leave another template with the label "Cultural and educational offices", which was a later development anyway (something easily establishable from the template's history).

I do not blame you for wanting to do your job right. But I find all this paperwork a little tedious. After all, I have gotten used to hiring people to do this for me. ;-) Waltham, The Duke of 22:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All done. I had it in mind to nominate you for adminship actually. Your work has been great so far but I thought your edit count was a bit too low for now and didn't want to see you get thrashed at WP:RFA (I guess I like your eccentricity too much lol). Hopefully you'll make it soon though and accept when you think you're ready. Adieu for now, Craigy (talk) 23:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the fix, Craigy. About the adminship... Well, you have really caught me off guard here. I mean, I have always associated administrators with the War Against Vandalism^TM, and I have never really been much interested in this (although I do revert vandalism when I find it). People tend to raise the standards that users must fulfil when applying for administratorship, and, despite what Jimbo says, they do make a big deal out of it. My edit count is rising steadily, but it will definitely take a long time to reach the lofty heights of most other distinguished editors (especially since I try not to be too liberal with them, and get work done with as few as possible). What can I say...? I suppose I can consider it again in a few months' time. In the meanwhile, I can work on improving the standing of SBS and... cultivating my "ridiculous, eccentric, sarcastic nobleman" persona that has captivated the hearts of Wikipedians around the world (here it goes again). Well, see you around! Waltham, The Duke of 23:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Long time no see, eh? Well, Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year is in, and the holiday season has passed... It is fair to assume that, erm, "break's over", right? Call me impolite, call me insensitive, remind me as many times as you want that participation in WikiProjects is strictly voluntary, but my options are few. Extreme situations demand extreme measures, and me taking such steps as knocking on SBS members' doors for some Wiki-charity is rather extreme, if you ask me. I am a Duke, for Unicorn's sake.

To the subject: as always, there is a severe activity deficiency in the project—too much to do, and nobody to do it. I am not as much concerned about the editing progress, as this is supposed to be done by all editors. No, I am more worried about the guidelines and the templates, where there are still many things to be taken care of, numerous holes to be closed, countless loose ends to be tied up, immeasurable improvements to be made. In four words: decisions to be made. All I am asking for is a helping hand once in a while: add the SBS page to your watchlist (if you have not done so until now), and vote in the polls; as the majority of the proposals are rather uncontroversial, polls usually suffice for business to move on. If, of course, there is the slightest disagreement (succession boxes are rather straightforward, after all), more discussion can take place, until consensus is reached in the good old Wikipedia way. The fact is that the entire process will not take up more than a few minutes of your valuable time in any given day—and it is a rare event indeed to see more than two or three proposals submitted in a week. Actually, that speed would be ideal, as things right now move at much slower rates.

If we are to note any progress, we need participation. If you are interested enough to have signed up, I am not asking for much, am I? After all, aren't we all here because we are trying to make a difference? Waltham, The Duke of 21:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just wanted to discuss your recent deletion of Counter-revolutionary's talk page. I was under the impression that it didn't qualify under U1, because there are other contributors than the user (and there's no indication that the user has engaged his Right to Vanish, and also considering that one of the folks under the CheckUser whose results led to the indefinite block is contesting the results (vigorously, using possible sockpuppets). Would you mind terribly if I undid your deletion, or at the very least, put a blocked sock template of it? We can decide what to do with it after this whole thing dies down.

A tag has been placed on Template:Yellow line colour requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks for uploading Image:Jordan coa.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I'm having a problem with User:Artayes. He keeps removing the no-context SD tags from an article he created Bookworm (animated series) (cartoons). I actually don't have a problem with the article and it might pass on being deleted, but the fact he keeps removing the tag and ignoring warnings on his talk page from me and another editor and not responding is odd. He's removed the template three times and removed it again even after I left him a message detailing how to go about saving the thing. He also created another article, Bookworm (animates series) (cartoons), that I'm guessing is a copy of the original. I'd tag it, but the whole back & forth is getting annoying and I'm sort of out of good faith at this point. Sorry to drag you into it, but I figured an AIN report would take too long. Thanks!

Ok. Since this is about an Arab linguist of Arabic, I don't expect a search engine test (Or to save time click here) in Latin Alphabet would be reliable. Why don't you try this test using أنستاس الكرملي or better clickhere, which gives 2290 hits. To put you in prespective as to the interpretation of the search result, Arabic constitutes only %0.3 of the web's textual content (1), while English constitutes %72 (2). This means that English content is 72/0.3=240 times more voluminous. This figure can be used to calculate how the search results would appear if the search were in English: 240*2290=549600 hits. If you feel that this discussion should be transfered to an admin who understands Arabic, please refer me to one. Hakeem.gadi (talk) 10:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah - just silly stuff... Look, if you need a pic of the castle in the 1950s, just shout.

Just a thought. If you are thinking about taking Hylton Castle to FAC at some point, they are incredibly strict about images.

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many, many thanks for your photo offer, but I've already had to remove six pics to unclutter the thing following peer review and re-writes! I love images, and get a bit carried away, but am trying to curb this obsession now... "More is less" at FA (If I get that far) - I got clobbered by this before and ended up having to take off 13 in one go! (I think I was a tadge upset by that!) As to the other printing press, of that I'm doubtful. I've got photocopies of the 1976 Echo papers from when it moved, and it just says "we're moving from Bridge Street after 100 years" etc. But, it's certainly food for thought, and I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks!--seahamlass 23:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Duh - what an idiot I am! I stuck that stuff in..."new machine and composing rooms built on West Wear Street etc"...Then not only got it the wrong way round, but then forgot about it! (Well, I guess it was a few months ago..) Thanks for pointing that out - much appreciated! Just been reading your first comment again - when you say the old printing press - do you mean the dilapidated old building right next to Wearmouth Bridge...now home to luxury Echo 24 flats?--seahamlass 00:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Checked it out. The delapidated old building was definitely the printing hall of the Echo - built almost in the shape of a ship, apparently. The front entrance of the paper was in Bridge Street, and the printing hall then extended back and sideways. When the Echo shifted in 1976, the whole place was deserted. All newspaper operations moved from there to Pennywell that year. However, I've been told that the printing hall was later taken over by (Edward?) Thompsons and used for printing purposes for some years after. By the way, cheers for changing my error - I tried to do it when you pointed it out, but internet connection kept cutting off.--seahamlass 11:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How goes it with Hylton Castle? I noticed you had removed some of the pics and it certainly looks a lot 'cleaner' now. Think I'm going to have a go a the Victoria Hall Disaster next. That should be a challenge!-- Seahamlass 11:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The ball is in your court. The reviewer is asking for clarification of some points that can only be done by someone with the right sources. I'll help with the copy editing where I can, but you have the initiative. I think these are only minor changes required and the article is very close to GA. Good luck.

Hi there. It's been a week and there are still outstanding items from the GA review. If you're working on the article and would like me to hold off a little while longer, please let me know. Best, epicAdam (talk) 15:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Craigy
Could you shed some light on this? ThePeerage.com shows that Admiral Amelius Beauclerk had a son, Charles Frederick Augustus de Vere Beauclerk, born in 1836. It doesn't seem very likely, given his martial status, and I don't trust the source, except where it agrees with other sources. It's your area of expertise - any ideas? One more question - do you access the text of the DNB online? If so, how? Thanks
Shem (talk) 23:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link - I also found this, which all seems to point in the same direction. I'll certainly ask User:Proteus, and I'm very grateful for the tip on the DNB.

Hi Craigy144, I wonder if you would be able to look at Marguerite, Duchess of Orléans I started the page and was immediately tagged for notability by user:Tom. After communicating with him he responded with "I see an article that doesn't really say why she is notable, rather who she is related to. Therefore, why does she deserve an article? This reasoning must be expressed in the prose." My question to you is would you have an idea on how I can defend the article? Especially since her only claim to notability is that she was a Duchess?

Thanks very much for your help. Daytrivia (talk) 00:49, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am becoming a little confused about the notability tag for peers as there does not seem to be anything notable implied in the article Elizabeth Somerset, Countess of Worcester (c.1476-c.1513) so why has it not been tagged or deleted I wonder? Daytrivia (talk) 12:44, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi- I am new to Wikipedia and I was wondering if you could help me make it so this page is no longer marked as paroled. I don't understand exactly what I can do to make it more notable. Do I need to include on the page all of the websites of the organizations that RaDene is involved in and mentioned on? Also, how do I make it less of an advertisement? I have done my best to not make it come across this way. That is why it barely mentions that she is running for senate and focuses more on her background and community service. I started this page because of the 16th Utah Senate District page, which had a link for her opponent's name and her's and she didn't have a page in place. Any advice on the aforementioned issues and any others that you might pick up on reading around the site would be very welcomed. Asmile4u (talk) 01:06, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is rather out of line—I expected more from an administrator. We don't delete articles on Wikipedia because they are controversial or POV. We fix them instead.

Hi there! I found this page by monitoring page moves that occur with WP:PLANTS-related articles. I was wondering if you could enlighten me as to the reason for all that disambiguation in the page name. Is (1630-1715) really necessary? What is this woman's real name? If she's simply Mary Capel, then the it would seem that the page should be named that, without her title. If she's more well known by her married name, then I'd assert that her page should be named Mary Somerset. Thoughts? --Rkitko ^(talk) 12:20, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, You deleted my article about Nyrva Dragonrhyne stating it had no importance. But I did not get a chance to add more details before you deleted it. You allow postings about all sorts of fictional mediums, so why not this? (Do a search for "Nyrva Dragonrhyne" on Google! The character is everywhere!) I happen to know the artist and he gave me permission to post about this character on here. The artist, James Williams, is a real live person and created the "Nyrva Dragonrhyne" character. If people can post stuff on here about movies that haven't even come out yet (such as "Power of the Dark Crystal") then why can't I post this?

Please help. And please tell me what kinds of things must be posted to make the article compliant with Wikipedia? Also, how do I put images on here to support the article? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Witaku (talk • contribs) 01:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, the article failed A7, since it's about a fictional character, and works of fiction are not subject to speedy deletion under that criterion. —C.Fred (talk) 02:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

more than technically. such an article, good or bad, cannot be deleted under A7. The exclusion of fictional characters, is deliberate, repeatedly affirmed, and fully discussed on the talk page. It even appears on the template, so its more than a little careless for that mistake to have been made.DGG (talk) 04:05, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The artist's handle, "Neomorphasis" is even more prominent on Google. As long as you allow posts about movies that have yet to surface, what's the difference?

(Not trying to be a "wise guy" -- asking a fair question). Would it be more appropriate to put something about the artist?

---

In that case- How can I get back the article that was deleted, but then change the heading? Or do I have to recreate the thing from scratch?

I admit, I'm new to Wiki- as far as posting goes. So I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing but I wanted to make this, what I believe to be a great contribution.

Thanks! --

Hi Craigy144, I see you have a history of working on the article Richard Fortescue, 7th Earl Fortescue. I am looking at it from the project Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles where it is one of the longest {{unreferenced}} tagged articles that does not meet at least the barest minimum of verifiability. It has been tagged and completely without references since July 2006. It would be extremely helpful if you had some references you could add to the article to help support its verifiability and notability. Thanks for any help you can give.

Due to a bet from Peter Cohen (don't know if you've run into him before) I'm trying to get the list of Stewards of the Manor of Northstead up to Featured List status (yeah, weird reason, but it's worked). I've so far (in the last week-and-a-bit) managed to complete the list, make the dates more accurate, include a column of the MP's party and (started) writing articles on those people previously redlinked.

I'm not sure if there are many of those; most of the ones I haven't been able to complete are commoners (precisely the reason I haven't been able to do so, things like the ODNB and so on are no use).

No policy (though there is no naming policy anywhere), not even a guideline, simply the convention that has developed. Originally they were at full names when moved over during the Victoria Cross reference migration project. Since then, VC has become the common disambiguator for VC recipients.

Yes, it was a sinecure; see the article stub and the british-history.ac.uk source linked there. By the end of the 17th Century, at least some of the Clerks of the Signet were explicitly authorized to appoint deputies to carry out their business, and enjoyed the revenues of the post without ever coming to the Signet Office. By Taylor's time, in fact, even the deputy clerkships were to some degree sinecures (they had to sign some papers; Taylor's nephew Bridges got a deputy clerkship in 1841), and the "Record Keepers and Receivers of Fees" did the real work of the office. The Great Seal Act 1851 did away with both the Clerkships of the Signet and the Privy Seal; the remaining duties of the Signet Office were transferred to the Home Office, and the Secretary of State and the Lord Chancellor given rulemaking authority regarding letters patent to pass the Great Seal.

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Ah thanks, my mistake, I thought the Remebrancer nominated all the High Sheriffs, but as you note the source states otherwise. Tim! (talk) 20:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited the two articles which hopefully clarifies my understanding of the topic. I found a few references to the ceremony as "pricking for sheriffs" which show it applies to all the High Sheriffs. Tim! (talk) 20:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The High Sheriffs' Association describes the "pricking" as a ceremony common to all sheriffs. However, the ceremonies for Lancashire and the remainder of England are separate. Perhaps "Lites" applies only to Lancashire, although a Notes and Queries of 1929 says the term was only used for the list of candidates for Yorkshire. Choess (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think Choess may well be onto something here that the "lites" is not the general ceremony. The general procedure for choosing the High Sheriffs is known as "pricking", for example as stated here [10], [11], [12]. Maybe the article would be better titled "Nomination of High Sheriffs" (as the High Sheriffs' Association calls it here [13]) and make separate section for the procedures for different counties? Tim! (talk) 17:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Careful. I think we have two separate procedures here. The "Nomination of High Sheriffs" is the announcement of the three persons per shrievalty to be presented to the Queen. The actual selection occurs when the Queen pricks one of those three names for each shrievalty. (In practice, of course, the first name is always pricked, and the other two move up a place at the next nomination.) I'm not sure whether these should be covered in separate articles or have one omnibus article for the whole process. Choess (talk) 15:27, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clearing this up gentlemen. I was under the impression The Queen only 'pricked' three names for Lancs et al, but I suppose she has to do a fair bit of pricking (no laughs please) ;-)

What might be best is to have a Nomination and selection section at High Sheriff, then redirect Pricking the Lites to that article and add the text(?) Craigy (talk) 16:50, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. :) Tim! (talk) 16:30, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I've just looked in the history of this article and see that you moved it to a hyphenated version in August. The surname of his ancestors might have been hyphenated but as far as I can establish, Pitt Rivers did not hyphenate his name. The Museum in Oxford named after him, the gallery at Salisbury Museum and all the books written about him do not hyphenate it. I have changed it back to the non-hyphenated version. Do you have evidence for the hyphenation as used referring by or to him rather than his ancestors, who might have decided to introduce the hyphen? Cheers Roisterdoister (talk) 15:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be inconsistent Nomination as High Sherrif is unhypenated, this War Office memorandum on his changed surname is hyphenated. However, the original Royal Licence to assume the additional surnames is definitely hyphenated [14]. David Underdown (talk) 15:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, what to do? Follow the name as it was officially given but, as it appears, was not used by him? All the biographies of him spell it without, and I assume the authors researched the matter in some detail. I can't believe a Museum named in his honour would get it wrong either! Isn't there some WP about using the name that the person themselves used? Roisterdoister (talk) 15:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not certain that I am making these additions in the proper format or protocal.

I believe you wrote the article on Amalie von Wallmoden, Countess of Yarmouth based on the ODNB entry, http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/28579

Matthew Kilburn, the writer of the ODNB entry, has complained at Talk:Amalie von Wallmoden, Countess of Yarmouth that the article is "too similar" to the ODNB article. I agree with him - several parts are almost word-for-word copies. I have added the copyvio template for now, but no doubt the offending text could be rewritten. The instructions for the template also instruct me to add the following template. -- Testing times (talk) 11:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Amalie von Wallmoden, Countess of Yarmouth, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jeanoflux.PNG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Esrever ^(klaT) 18:04, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on John Lovelace, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because John Lovelace is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting John Lovelace, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I think I have the dates for LL of Surrey fixed now. What's your source? He's not in Sainty's list and I can't find any direct references in the Gazette for the 1702-1710 period. Choess (talk) 03:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your welcome message and your information and tips about formatting on Wikipedia pages, with respect to peerages.

As for including the full given names, the Scott family re-uses the names of heir apparent males, and often it's only the middle names that differentiate them. The names William and Walter are clear examples in the MDS family. As an example of the sort of problem this can cause for one researching the Dukes, the Wikipedia entry lists the 9th Duke as "John Scott, 9th Duke of Buccleuch" (his name was Walter Francis John, although he used "John", so the use is acceptable), yet if one were to search simply "John Scott", his name doesn't appear on the search results page at all (John Scott). Searching "John Montagu Douglas Scott" won't get one readily near the result, either. Further to the same, many male members of the family are known by their middle names; for example, "Douglas Andrew" was known as "Andrew"; his father's names were "Claude Andrew", but he was known as "Andrew", too; his grandfather's names were "Herbert Andrew", and he was known as "Andrew", as well: it can be very difficult to differentiate if one doesn't include all given names. I think you were pointing strictly to the use of middle names in page titles, and if this was the case, then I assume the use of full names within articles is acceptable.

My use of "His Grace, Her Grace" is, I imagine, a formality bred into me as a Montagu Douglas Scott; certainly, I don't expect any more deferential treatment than the next person, and I haven't noticed that tendency amongst the majority of the family members. With respect to this, I do appreciate your comments tremendously, because one cannot imagine all the innuendoes a phrase may carry; since my form of address wasn't meant to convey an elitist tone (was aiming for the historical correctness), I'll review the articles and remove the same. To members of the Scott family, the titles are simply a symbol of respect for an historical tradition -- not an attempt at class distinction; simply put, it's all part of what should be simply a rich and fascinating family, and national history.

As for the unhyphenated use of the Montagu Douglas Scott surname, I have left the explanation in the discussion section of My Talk page Wettin Talk.

I apologise for making the mistakes of a "newbie". Thanks for the tip on moving pages. I hadn't noticed the tab, and it's most helpful!

All best wishes,

Wettin 19:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

On 26 August 2008 you expanded this article, to include a section that said Lord Londonderry was styled "The Hon. Charles Vane-Tempest" between 1852 and 1872. Do you have a source for this? One would have expected his successive styles to be:

• 1852-1854: Mr Charles Vane-Tempest, as eldest son of Lord George Vane-Tempest
• 1854-1872: Viscount Seaham, as eldest son of the 2nd Earl Vane
• 1872-1884: Viscount Castlereagh, as eldest son of the 5th Marquess of Londonderry
• 1884-1915: The Most Hon. the Marquess of Londonderry, as the 6th holder of that title.

In an edit of 14 June 2006 to this article you've said the subject was styled "Lord Wycombe" between 1856 and 1863. Though he sat in the Lords by virtue of that title, he surely would have continued to be styled by his higher courtesy title as the eldest son of the Marquess of Lansdowne?

Great catch! I uploaded the picture of Corder ages ago, courtesy of Sunderland Antiquarian Society, and it already had James William Corder written on it. (Hence, I took it as the correct name). Saw your changes today, contacted the society to check it out and, hey presto, a quick look at the records revealed Watson as the right middle name. (It was the maiden name of his mum?)

I found two articles both referring to Cox Green and merged Coxgreen to Cox Green. I assumed the version on the ordnance survey map (Cox Green) to be the official version. You have now moved Cox Green, Sunderland, to Cox Green, Tyne and Wear. I have no objection to that except that: there are a lot of links to change. I have fixed {T&W places} and Cox Green (disambig), but not the ones pointing to Cox Green, Sunderland. It might be easier to leave it at Sunderland(?).

Also, I want to move Coxgreen Footbridge to Cox Green, Footbridge, but it also has a lot of links. Do you have any knowledge of what the correct name is for the footbridge? It might actually be Coxgreen. Please respond here - I will watch it. Twiceuponatime (talk) 09:28, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't worry about it - there is no definition of hamlet/village/town etc. Village is sufficient to suggest it is small. Or, you could use (small) settlement.

I removed the middle names because they aren't used for other people. For example, we don't put HRH Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales or HRH Prince Christian Valdemar Henri John of Denmark, etc. I switched out 'von' and 'zu' in the cases of princely houses and those with titles, and left it as 'von' etc for non-titled Count families like the Stauffenbergs.

Hi Craigy, justed wanted to inform you that instead of {{s-non | reason=New creation}}, you can also use the shorter {{s-new|creation}}. The latter doesn't require the "|-", that is necessary with s-non occasionally. Alternatively you can replace the variable "creation" with "office", "constituency" or even "regiment". Best wishes ~~ Phoe _talk ~~ 22:08, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Craigy144, (I hope this is the appropriate place to post my comments).

Having suffered a life-altering injury as a young adult, I cannot tell you how I appreciate your work in Spoken Articles, especially. I remain literate, and manage with ancillary devices; all the more so as technology grows exponentially in the post-internet world. Had such been available when first I needed it, I might have continued in my academic career ... an impossibility at the time.

It is, however, such a simple matter for me to use ‘Spoken Articles’ as if one were reading for me ... it makes the very challenging almost effortless, thus all the more enjoyable; it further allows one to focus on the material alone, without one’s concentration being divided between the effort to read and the reading matter.

You are not only generous with your time and talents, but also, I should like to add that you have the gift of an exceptional speaking voice to create such excellent sound files. (Your Received Pronunciation is a further bonus ... but then I am prejudiced, being English myself, though simply working-class).

I thank you once again, most sincerely, sir ...

— (and if reading post-injury were the painstakingly arduous task for you that it is for me,

you would know how very earnest I am in thanking you) —

Regards, Christian Gregory, (formerly of So'ton, Hants)

Post Scriptum: No need of a reply — ‘Craigy is busy in real life ... ’ as you state — however if you wish and can via e-mail that would be ideal, but other to that my talk page will do ... when I remember it. Cheers!

I was led to the article by the {{DNB}} - I'm trying to create Wikisource versions of all the DNB articles needed to reference articles here. But that template seems to be misleading in this case: the dates are wrong, and in fact the DNB article on Bullard dates only from 1986. So there is an issue here, and really some rewriting needs to go on. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

This article you created consisted of text lifted directly from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. This is not free of copyright at all, as the Victorian-era Dictionary of National Biography. I see no answer from you about Reader Bullard, concerning which I raised a similar query.

Hello Craigy144! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 31 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hello. We regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. Henry Curtis-Bennett appears to be an unusably close copy from Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (see Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2010 January 12), and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under allowance license, then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Henry Curtis-Bennett and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Henry Curtis-Bennett, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Henry Curtis-Bennett with a link to where we can find that note.
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Henry Curtis-Bennett. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at . Leave a note at Talk:Henry Curtis-Bennett saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you.

Reader Bullard and George Cockburn (British Army officer) have been blanked and listed for the same concerns. These three articles were listed at the copyright problems board for investigation by a concerned contributor. As I do not have access to the source myself, I asked another contributor to compare two of them to the sources, and he agreed that they were unusably close paraphrases of the original. I have also reviewed Hylton Castle (steamship), and it seems to be an unusably close paraphrase of the book source now linked from the front. I will list it at the copyright problems board as well. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have similar concerns about Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the extent of the issue and the time it goes back - you received warnings for similar mis-attribution of ODNB content in 2008, including a complaint by an author, and since you have not been active in the meantime, you are hereby blocked for repeated violations of our copyright policies, in accordance to the precautionary principle we apply on such matters, until you do react to the above situation.

Further, I will have to raise this situation to AN/I given your status as an admin. I will link back to the AN/I thread after it is created. MLauba (talk) 12:38, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The thread was started at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Notification and review request of block of User:Craigy144 for copyright violations. MLauba (talk) 12:56, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a consensus at the discussion on the administrators' noticeboard that your systematic violations of copyright policy are not compatible with your status as an administrator. Rather than summon the mob with pitchforks and burning torches, I have asked the arbitration committee to review this, I believe that they should be able to come to a suitably dispassionate judgment. I hope this is acceptable to you. Guy (Help!) 18:59, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please contact ArbCom via email as soon as possible, regarding the issues above. Thank you. SirFozzie (talk) 19:02, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may request temporary unblocking for the purpose of commenting at RFAR should you prefer to do so on Wiki rather than by email. -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 22:48, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that voting is underway on a motion for you to be temporarily desysopped until you provide the Arbitration Committee with a satisfactory explanation for the actions which brought about this request for a case. -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 18:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per a motion at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case:

Summary motion in lieu of a full case:

1. Key principle:

   Administrators are trusted members of the community and are expected to lead by example and follow Wikipedia policies. Occasional mistakes are entirely compatible with this as administrators are not expected to be perfect though they are expected to learn from experience and from justified criticisms of their actions. However, consistently or egregiously poor judgment or sustained disruption of Wikipedia is incompatible with this trusted role and administrators who repeatedly engage in inappropriate activity may be desysopped by the Arbitration Committee.

2. Summary of evidence:

   (i) Craigy144 has repeatedly posted text and images which do not fully comply with the relevant policies.

   (ii) Craigy144's actions have received much comment but he/she has failed to respond to it.

   (iii) Craigy144 has not so far responded to this Request for Arbitration nor provided an explanation for his/her conduct.

3. Remedy:

   Craigy144 is temporarily desysopped until such time as he/she provides the committee with a satisfactory explanation of his/her conduct.

A review to see if Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom meets Wikipedia:Good article criteria has started, and has been put on hold. Suggestions for improvement are at Talk:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom/GA2, and are mainly to do with coverage and neutrality, and building the lead section. Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is one of our most high profile and popular articles, attracting an average of over 11,000 readers every day. You have made more than 30 edits to the article, and so you might be interested in helping to make the improvements needed to get it listed as a Good Article.
