Amharic Wikipedia block inquiry
Have you seen the response given at am:አባል_ውይይት:Codex_Sinaiticus? WhisperToMe (talk) 03:59, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, and as Beetstra was unblocked, I didn't pursue it. Beetstra and I have already discussed the matter and have opinions. The admin and I would appear to have a fundamental disagreement in approach, as can be seen from his removals on his talk page, and the conversation on my user talk page at amWP. — billinghurst  sDrewth  05:06, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Henry William Haygarth
Of possible interest to you. I think I have the basic story now, though the sources are quite piecemeal. Charles Matthews (talk) 18:53, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thx. ref 14 says file:// not sure what was the link that you had. I can poke in Crockford's if that is of assistance. I am presuming that we have an author page at enWS. — billinghurst  sDrewth  10:46, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

The PDF download page is a troublesome dissertation, set up for downloading rather hyperlinking. I'm presuming it can be replaced by a hard copy reference. Currently it supports the interest of Haygarth's book.

Nothing yet on enWS: the book is clearly worthy. Especially if you want to build a slab hut in your garden.

Haygarth's clerical career is probably not at all mysterious: vicar of Wimbledon for over 40 years.

The Parry cousinry is possibly interesting for a couple of reasons: the actual connection that saw him on the boat to Sydney might be a bit remote; while later in life there was business about property in Wales (possibly not salient stuff, though). Comically, ancestry.com reckons the Welsh grandfather Richard Parry to be from the Yukon (a placename error, surely). Stirnet says he was Sheriff of Merionethshire, so we have him to be Richard Parry of Goppa. Who knows where this goes. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I have done the author page at enWS, and added Crockford's and Times, etc. Obviously from a well-off family, he had a whack of money in his estate, and if at Eton, tends to indicate something. Re Ancetry, that can be people's trees, and all can be taken with a grain of salt when not cited properly. — billinghurst  sDrewth  13:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
