Sir douglas morpeth → Sir Douglas Morpeth  To turn this into Wikipedia standards of a biography (it's all about the layout now, the writer of this article should look at the biography of his own uncle henry Raeburn Dobson.  Please, create an index, and in the text some subdivisions. You may edit some texts in Wikipedia and look at how other people do it (simple HTML codes etc)....

Sir douglas morpeth → Sir Douglas Morpeth This seems better; more like a biography. But, you forgot to mention the DEBRETT'S, in which his son IAN is also mentionned. Chapp be (talk) 19:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Sir douglas morpeth → Sir Douglas Morpeth — This biography does not meet the standards of a biography. It has no references, no literature list, no footnotes, and the claims it makes cannot be verified/documented as being true or not true. Chapp be (talk) 11:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I've taken the initiative to move this article myself; please note we don't use honorifics like sir in article titles. However, this article needs to be completely rewritten to meet Wikipedia quality standards, or it will probably be deleted. For a good intro to writing articles, see Your first article.

Sir douglas morpeth → Sir Douglas Morpeth I suspect Douglas Morpeth has written this article himself. Douglas Morpeth of Shamley Green in Guildford is not of THAT importance for the history, nor the arthistory of the the United Kingdom (if he is important AT ALL...) and certainly not to be mentionned in a dictionary : he is not a heroe, not a writer, not a thinker, not an artist, not of any noble descent, not member of any aristocratic family. He got a knighthood because of ACCOUNTANCY (sort of : you worked for 40 years as an accountant and now I get a medal for playing around with figures)....and is quite pompous about it. I would delete the whole article as his biography is self-written (or by a memebe of his family, I presume his wife) and of no real importance. The oly reason why he is mentionned is because a portrait made by Henry Raeburn Dobson, like so many have been painted by this painter. I have reduced his biography to four essential lines in a footnote of the article about the portait painter Henry Raeburn Dobson. For the rest, his personal achievements are of no historical importance and are self-glorifying Chapp be (talk) 19:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
