Your uploads
Good day. I see that you have uploaded a number of images to Wikipedia. First off, thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, there are some guidelines that we need to follow with copyrighted images. Specifically, you need to add a source for the image (a link to a website will do), a copyright tag (there are some listed at WP:ICT), and a rationale explaining why we can use a copyrighted image (explained at WP:NFURG). I see that your images fail to include one of these. Please stop uploading images and address the concerns listed above. If you need assistance, you can ask at the help desk. If you do not fix these images, and you continue to make bad uploads, you will be blocked and your images will be deleted. Thanks for your contributions! STBotI (talk) 23:39, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

John Henry Bernard
Funny you should mention the Provost. I've just been sent a set of files (ex Kew) of correspondence between Bernard, LLoyd George and Lord Middleton re. representation of Southern Unionists in Seanad of proposed Free State. Relates to a tangential issue that I'm working on, but fascinating stuff.

David McCallum webpages
You can get the individual URLs from each individual page by right-clicking anywhere on a page and opening up the Properties dialog. This contains the Address (URL) which you can copy & paste to use for your references.

Because the David McCallum site may change over time, which you have no control over, another method could be to reference the home page and insert an "Ibid" reference for each subsequent reference.

Aside from that, the McCallum page is be a fansite, rather than an authoritive source of information on the actor, which may not be suitable for an encyclopedia.Janus 19:42, 14 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swmcqueen (talk • contribs)

Napoloen Solo
Sorry if I upset you when changing Solo s number from one to 11 but in all the photos he is always 11 as Kuryakin was No 2. Incidently when I was a boy, I became an UNCLE agent and my ID card put me in section 2 number D387. On the card it lists Norman Felton as Section 1 No 1 and Sam Rolfe Section 2 No 1. On the back it includes the 8 sections which I added to the man from uncle pageREVUpminster (talk) 11:10, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I was also a TV21 agent, but seem to have lost the card, but back to UNCLE, do you know if the film To Trap a Spy is on DVD. I always watch it when it comes on the TV because I like the begining. I would like the first series black and white as I think they were the best stories. I think it's is available as a region 1 dvd. I have the book The Man from Uncle book behind the scenes by Jon Heitland which is very informative. on wikipedia I've been editing Queen of Swords as my main task expanding it threefold. I also look at Danger Man, got all the dvds.and other itc series.REVUpminster (talk) 14:46, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Symonis Semeonis
Hi ANB. Wondering if you know of a complete translation into English of Itinerarium Symonis Semeonis ab Hybernia ad Terram Sanctam? From the snippets I've come across, it seems a fascinating and detailed account by a C14 Irish pilgrim on his way to 'the Holy Land'. Am particularly interested in what he may have written of his journey from Clonmel to Dublin, and also his account of 'the family of Ham' in Crete. RashersTierney (talk) 16:35, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Rashers! The only complete modern edition is Mario Espostio's Itinerarium Symonis Semeonis ab Hybernia ad Terram Sanctam published (after a lot of pleading by M.E.) by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in 1960 as part IV of the Scriptores Latini Hiberniae series. I'm almost certain that it includes a parallel text English translation, but I will check it in the University library when I'm there on Monday and let you know. (You've probably seen this already but there's a brief account of his reference to the Romani in Crete here: http://www.ucd.ie/cai/classics-ireland/2003/murphy.html) ANB (talk) 18:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reply. It was that article by Murphy that initially whetted my appetite. Apparently there is a copy of Espostio's work in the National Library, Kildare St., so I'll probably soon find out how much of my Inter-Cert. Latin remains! Regarding where to post replies, its usually sufficient to reply below the initial post. Editors (that expect a reply) will have that page on their Watch List. I had started a bio. Stub on Simeon in the the past hour, and then blew it by closing browser without posting. I'll revisit it after a cup of tea! Regards. RashersTierney (talk) 18:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There's already a stub at Simon FitzSimon. Name seems a bit 'makey-uppy' to me. Any thoughts what the article name on this individual should be? RashersTierney (talk) 19:30, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

He's almost universally referred to as Symon Simeonis (though Medieval orthography used 'y' and 'i' interchangeably), or sometimes Symon Semeonis, the Oxford Dictionary of Nat. Biography has him under the first, with the second noted. He was Hiberno-Norman, so its not unlikely that he was referred to as Simon FitzSimon (or possibly Fitzsimmons?), however all significant scholarship relating to him uses the Latin name. Personally I'd go for Symon Semeonis as per Esposito. Good luck in the NLI! ANB (talk) 22:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. May need to go for a title change. No rush. Just reading through Mario Esposito at The Geographical Journal, Vol. 51, No. 2 (Feb., 1918), pp. 77-96 at JSTOR. Fascinating. Throws some doubt on Clonmel as the start point though. Says manuscript not very legible at this point and suggests Clane, Co, Kildare. Would love to know why Murphy is so sure its otherwise. RashersTierney (talk) 22:59, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if you've got a chance to check the NLI yet but I fished out Esposito's edition today (I decided it was tangentially related to my research). It has an excellent parallel text translation. As to "the family of Ham", Esposito rejects that reading in favour of the "family of Cain" [de genere Chaym] and gives some background on earlier discussions of the earliest Romani settlements in Europe (p. 8). Murphy also appears to have transcribed everything Symon has to say about them in his article, which he translates thus: We also saw outside this city [Candia] a tribe of people, who worship according to the Greek rite, and assert themselves to be of the race of Cain. These people rarely or never stop in one place for more than thirty days, but always, as if cursed by God [cf. Genesis 4:12], are nomad and outcast. After the thirtieth day they wander from field to field with small, oblong, black, and low tents, like those of the Arabs, and from cave to cave, because the place inhabited by them becomes after the term of thirty days, so full of vermin and other filth that it is impossible to live in their neighbourhood. (p.45) It appears M.E. changed his mind about Clonmel after he wrote the Geographical Journal article, hence the statement of the late Conn Murphy. He says the reading recorded in that article is inaccurate and that Clonmel "seems certain" (p.4). It sounds like he only got to see the Corpus Christi MS in the flesh (or rather the calf-skin!) at a later date. The account of the journey from Clonmel to Dublin is prefunctory to say the least. In fact, embarcation from Dublin is only implied by the fact that they land at Holyhead; Dublin isn't mentioned. Interesting stuff. I'm glad I had a look at this, it could prove somewhat useful thesis-wise - much thanks! ANB (talk) 17:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I finally got a chance to call in at about 5pm but had to be on the road again by 7.30. It was well worth while fishing out and I concur with your observations re Clonmel and 'race (descendants?)of Cain' : de genere Chaym. Looking forward to re-examination. The ref. to the Sultan's passport I couldn't find at pp 77-78 as indicated in index, but hopefully I'll have more time when next I'm at the NLI. A confirmed biometric imprint on such a document would be an interesting footnote to my own thesis. Glad to hear ME's Itinerarium may be of some 'practical' use to you too. RashersTierney (talk) 21:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The 77-78 above related to Esposito's 'chapters'(his 100 divisions of the manuscript) rather than page no.s in the book. I found the passport refs c77-78 at p97. Will have to consider if contact 'fingerprints' or some form of signature/drawn pattern is described by SS. It would be great if it really was the former. RashersTierney (talk) 19:21, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Your thesis sounds very interesting. Mine is doing its best to drive me slightly mad at the moment! Yes, the reference to the fingerprints is a bit ambiguous and examining the Latin text doesn't shed any further light. Esposito cites a book which apparently has further examples of such passports, not got a chance to look at it though. Nice work on the Symon Semeonis article btw! ANB (talk) 21:55, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I found this, but on prelim. research its not unambiguous re. my question. Will call to Chester Beatty to see if they can clarify. What's your thesis on btw? RashersTierney (talk) 22:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

That is a wonderful document, pity there's no zoom function. Thesis is on 'other worlds' in the literatures of Britain and Ireland in the Middle Ages (looking mainly on the 12th century). Currently researching how 'real world' locations are described in terms of the otherworldly, hence the interest in travel literature. What's your's on?ANB (talk) 22:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds very interesting. Mines what might be described as 'a genealogy' of the Irish Free State passport. Its turned into a bit of an exploration of 'governmentality', the 'total institution', 'imagined communities' and whatever you're having yourself. Got to stop reading and start writing!

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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC).
