Talk:William Henry Bury

Untitled
I have just undone a minor edit which has been done many times before where a variety of editors keep changing Scotland, UK to read "Scotland, England". Is this a glitch or what as I'm totally confused. JSL595 (talk) 21:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Congrats on the promotion
I had prepared a few comments with a support, I'll leave them here and if you think they are worth doing, feel free either way: Where the word "media" is used, to use "press" instead, as the press was pretty much it then. Also, can any link or pipe be done for "eversion"? Also, "at least eleven Whitechapel murders until 1891 were included in the same extensive police investigation", the until reads a bit oddly to me. And "lengthy abdominal wounds" (without viewing the source), unless they were long, perhaps "extensive"?--Wehwalt (talk) 01:04, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Size of infobox image
Congrats on the Main page appearance! Is there a reason why the infobox image was so large? I went ahead and removed the size (upright) command from template. Feel free to revert if you feel strongly in opposition, I just didn't find the large size necessary. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:12, 18 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I'd just added that parameter after uploading a copy of the image at a higher resolution, so it was my edit (not yours) that was bold and subject to immediate reversion. The size at which the image is displayed depends on the user's settings (and I went by the default/non-logged-in configuration), but if others prefer the status quo, I'm fine with it.  —David Levy 00:46, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Execution reactions
From a historical exhibition long ago in Dundee (I think in the city library), I recall that on the day following the execution the Courier reported that much of the city had been deserted, large numbers of the populace having left for nearby towns and even into the hills across the Tay, to avoid being present in the city at that dreadful time.
