Zelda Popkin
Before you made your comment, it was my impression that she had been largely forgotten -- there haven't been any new editions of her books for decades, and that was my rule of thumb. But then I read the entry under her name and started to reconsider; she was better-known than I'd thought. If you want to change this reference, let me know, or just change it to what you want it to read, and I'll find another name to substitute if necessary. BTW, I think Rex Stout's Dol Bonner novels are closely related, if you haven't found those ("The Hand in the Glove, among others"). Accounting4Taste 16:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I thought there was nothing wrong with your edit. UtherSRG reverted it for some reason Floodamanny 11:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, so I can't delete it. If you as the sole author tag it with then an admin will come by an delete it for you. Hope this helps. GreenJoe 15:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi graham, I haven't been on wiki for a while but I see that you've been hard at work expanding some of the pages I created: Bramerton, Kirby Bedon, Claxton etc. Good stuff. Interested in your Bramerton Pits article. Cheers C1self

defaultsort vs lifetime
Instead of using defaultsort for articles on people could you use Lifetime? Defaultsort should only be used for articles not on people. For An Angel (talk) 12:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Graham, I wondered why, in your edit to the Raby article you use the name "Peter" instead of "Philip" Raby? Julia Rossi (talk) 00:38, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, GrahamHardy. Can you explain the changes you made to this article? Is this a new form of wiki-devilry that I am not yet familiar with? I appreciate it. --Moni3 (talk) 19:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
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 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!

Look Homeward, Angel
You removed my picture and replaced with a zoomed out view of the first edition. However, I think the one that I orginally had in their was more aestethetically pleasing. Is there a policy about first editions having to be pictured, or why, why would that be more favorable.--Robert Waalk (talk) 18:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't like the new image either so I've made it full frontal. I general I think they prefer first editions; but if its a boring plain cover I too would prefer a later edition with more interest. What did your image look like ? GrahamHardy (talk) 18:29, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It looked really good. I reloaded it. Here is a link to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wolfe_Lost.gif .--Robert Waalk (talk) 21:06, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and changed to see how it looks and it looks very good.--Robert Waalk (talk) 21:06, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The point being that it is the more literary significance that is the focus. We are not here to entertain but to inform and educate. In the literary world the first appearance of a work is "nearly always" the most significant. If another edition is more significant it would need argueing for. :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  08:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Then I will argue for it. Lets go, boxing gloves are on, I'm more than willing to debate Wikipedia's ridiculously prissy policies at times, no matter how much effort I may put into the site.--Robert Waalk (talk) 01:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well there you go, First edition stays, and it is rather colourful ! GrahamHardy (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Nice
Nice first edition cover @ The Burnt Ones. :) Julia Rossi (talk) 08:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

First edition covers
I know not much thanks is issued around here - but I would like to send my appreciation of your work in providing 1st edition cover for books and novels. I have noticed and although my more recent images are largely being replaced that is how it should be. Thanks. :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  09:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've noticed your name on quite a few images; I'll try and use the same filename so at least you don't get warning messages about the old images no longer being in use; apologies for not doing this in the past. Thanks for your appreciation; there's an awful lot of books out there !GrahamHardy (talk) 20:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Please see discussion below re problems I'm having replacing existing images GrahamHardy (talk) 18:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Saint covers
Good work on the Saint covers. I don't know if you have admin privileges or not, but if you do you have permission to delete any images I've uploaded that you replace with first editions (it saves me getting bot messages like those above!). If you aren't an admin you can effectively do the same thing by using the same file name (if it's applicable). Cheers! 23skidoo (talk) 14:22, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've just twigged myself that using the same name is less disruptive and friendlier...;I'll try and remember to do it on future; Its just a little disconcerting when the old image stays around for quite a while before getting refreshed in the article; but I need to be more patient ! Thanks again GrahamHardy (talk) 20:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I'm having problems using the existing filename as evidence Image:HappyHighwayman.jpg, I added a new Summary (present in comment bit at bottom) but it hasn't updated the Summary ! So until this is fixed I'm afraid I'll have to continue using new filenames I'm afraid, any ideas?GrahamHardy (talk) 18:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Resurrection.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Resurrection.jpg. 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, 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? Garion96 (talk) 10:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw your message on User talk:Kevinalewis. The book is published in 1899, therefore it should be quite easy to get a public domain image of the book. There is no need for a non-free content image, hence it is replaceable non-free content. Garion96 (talk) 19:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't know where to look I'm afraid; If its fairly easy then feel free to find one or give me some clues where to look! Thanks, GrahamHardy (talk) 19:42, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A library with old books would help, or search the internet for the first edition. The fact that a non-free content image is replaceable does not mean it only should take a minute of googling to find a replacement. Garion96 (talk) 20:25, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Same thing is true of Image:LeoTolstoy AnnaKarenina.jpg I'm afraid. If it so easy I wonder why someone else hasn't done it. These things do take quite a bit of search out. :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  17:50, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * True, not easy but not that impossible. See War and Peace, another example of a Tolstoy book. Garion96 (talk) 18:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I did search the Internet for a first edition and found this image (resurrection.jpg)! For the War and Peace article someone scanned it in themselves (presumably at a "library with old books") ! As the Resurrection was first published earlier than 1st January 1923 then why can't Garion96 change it like they did to A Little Tour in France image and add a Public Domain tag? What is to stop somebody me getting a copy from somewhere unspecified and using the same rationale as Kilmeny of the Orchard image ? I am confusedGrahamHardy (talk) 18:36, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That is because the edition of this bookcover is unknown. Plus the image has creativity. The way the book is set, the light etc. The other image you mentioned at File:LittleTourInFrance.JPG has no creativity so always is in the public domain (provided of course the bookcover itself is public domain, which it is). Garion96 (talk) 15:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Hippos
Technically And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks doesn't have the correct first-edition cover. It has the UK edition cover, but it is an American release, so it should use the white-colored cover as used by Grove Press. Cheers! 23skidoo (talk) 18:15, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree that it ought to have the US cover but I liked the UK cover so put that. Feel free to change it !GrahamHardy (talk) 18:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

File:Resurrection.jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Resurrection.jpg, has been listed at Images and media for deletion. Please see the to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Garion96 (talk) 15:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Images
Sorry for the late response, wasn't online much lately. Regarding flat images. Basically yes, when there is no creativity, basically a scan, there is no new copyright. That was the reason the Age of Innocense image was deleted. Regarding the other images, AnneOfAvonlea.jpg and AnneOfTheIslandCover.jpg. They were originally tagged as fair use (non-free content). If they are indeed images of public domain editions then the images can be undeleted. Message me if they are and I will undelete them. Garion96 (talk) 14:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Old Georgians category
Thoguh I'm a KGV Old Georgian myself, I think we might be being a bit presumptious in claiming Category:Old Georgians for ourselves. St George's College, Weybridge also usese the same term for its alumni, and it's quite probable that some fo the other St George's Colleges do too. It might be better to rename the KGV one Old Georgians (KGV) instead, what do you think? David Underdown (talk) 20:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds a good idea so renamed as suggested !GrahamHardy (talk) 18:31, 23 February 2009 (UTC)#

Harrington (surname)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Harrington (surname), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Harrington. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:38, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

W. H. Davies
Please excuse the intrusion, Graham, but you seemed to be an experienced editor with a leaning towards Eng Lit. I am struggling to find a free image of Davies for the article and wondered if it was acceptable to use a book cover? Any advice gratefully received. Thank you for your time. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Or are you aware of any similar uses? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in replying, apologies you needed to give me a poke. I'm flattered you regard me as an experienced editor; My experience is wide rather than deep; lots of 1st edition book covers uploaded and a few book articles started - I'm reading books obsessively at the moment - and if they haven't got an article I start one. Re your specific question I suspect it isn't allowed, see Non-free content, which includes as an example under images, A magazine or book cover, to illustrate the article on the person whose photograph is on the cover. So you're a bit stuck; here is some help to find an igane User:R. Baley/Acquire a free image which may be of help.GrahamHardy (talk) 15:27, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Graham and sorry to disturb your reading frenzy! Your reply confirms what I suspected alas, but is also very helpful. Searching Google images I now see that the National Portait Gallery has seven images of Davies and it may be possible for me to request a licence to use one of these in the article. I'll give it a try anyway and I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi again Graham. The short answer is that the image I am interested in is "Unknown Copyright". But NPG are currently in dispute with Wiki over unauthorised images and so won't release copies of anything, even for a indemnity fee. I can email you further details if you are interested.

Anna Wintour ... Old Queen?
I know she's claimed as an alumna in the Queen's College article, but do you have a source for this? (It doesn't, and this article is ten years old, and has some other errors.). Because I pretty thoroughly researched her, and Jerry Oppenheimer's unauthorized biography, the only decent source for her early life, is pretty explicit that she attended only North London Collegiate and went to work in fashion before she was even twenty. I have come across nothing suggesting she went to Queen's (she worked at Harper's & Queen briefly, which may have caused the confusion). Daniel Case (talk) 16:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

No, you're right: all that's said about it in CCF is "What does mollocking mean?, . . No, you need not tell me. I can guess." (See Google Books). The OED says of it "Apparently coined self-consciously in imitation of regional speech". Gordonofcartoon (talk) 11:19, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

List of rail accidents in the United Kingdom
I see that you've been putting a lot of refs into List of rail accidents in the United Kingdom - this is good, but they're not exactly in Wikipedia style per WP:CITESHORT. Also, they don't give terribly much about the actual book itself.

For example, there's the question of edition. You're giving the publication year as 1955, which is that of the first edition; but I've never seen one of those in the wild; most copies in libraries or available secondhand are second or third editions (1966 and 1976). There is also a fourth (1982) edition, which seems rare: but I just happen to have owned one since about 1984. The 3rd and 4th were published after Rolt's death, and have revisions and additional material by Geoffrey Kichenside. Kichenside later wrote his own book on railway accidents, some parts of which were based on the material that he'd provided for the 3rd and 4th editions of "Red for Danger". His text was later removed from RfD, so virtually all copies sold new since the early 1990s (including the current June 2009 printing, ISBN 978 0 7524 5106 0) are essentially the second edition.

I'd like to amend the refs, so that they will show more detail about the book yet won't take up much more space. I've already done that to South Croydon rail crash, but with only one reference per book, it's not too clear what I mean. You can see an example of the style that I'd like to use in Hinksey Halt railway station, where some books have several cited refs. If you suggest a section within List of rail accidents in the United Kingdom for me to have a bash at, I'll amend it along those lines, and then you can see what you think. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I've now fixed up the existing refs in List of rail accidents in the United Kingdom, and popped in a few more (refs, not accidents) into the same section. I added a "Sources" section too, which lists each of the (three) texts that I consulted. You'll notice that if you click where it says "Rolt & Kichenside" in the "References" section, then the browser moves to the relevant row in the "Sources" section. If you're using Firefox, that row is also highlighted in pale blue; Internet Exploder will move but won't highlight. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Splendid. I have a few other books on railway accidents, shall I pop in the refs for those against the existing entries? Also, if an accident is in those but not in either List of rail accidents in the United Kingdom or List of United Kingdom rail accidents by death toll, shall I add entries for those accidents too? --Redrose64 (talk) 18:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Go for it; I'm just reading through Red for Danger (from the library) adding those not mentioned. I'm currently up to page 248...GrahamHardy (talk) 18:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Page 248 - that would be Norton Fitzwarren 1940. Anyway, a small point: when using the sfn template, the last parameter should only be p when a single page is referenced. For multiple pages, use pp, for example 248-251. You can also reference something that has not got a page number, such as the photos between pages 164 & 165, for which you can use loc instead. You can have only one of these three parameter types per sfn, and if there are more than one, loc takes precedence over p which takes precedence over pp. For example, for Welwyn 1935 you might want to have two sfn, one with 220-223 and the other could have either fig. 8(a) or plate 8(a). --Redrose64 (talk) 19:21, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

W&P Rly Opening Date (your Category change)
It is probably a moot point but the W&P opened for business, albeit over 6 miles only, in 1835 (as per the original category entry) although it opened its complete line in 1836 (as per your change) but which is correct as a Wiki Category? XTOV (talk) 20:30, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Good question; as both Whitby and Pickering are included in the article title, and the Railway name, so I thought that we'd better use the date when both were connected. Its more difficult when the name is just "North Railshire line" for example and was opened in stages; do you use the date the first bit was opened, or the last bit, or the biggest bit? But as I said earlier as both Whitby & Pickering were mentioned I decided to use the date they were linked... No idea what the official rule is but that was my reasoning!GrahamHardy (talk) 20:39, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

HotCat
Hi Graham. You seem to have got the category bug big time! I know from experience that this can lead to large numbers of edits in a short period. Were you aware of the 'HotCat' tool? You may find that it speeds up your categorising (unless you are applying multiple categories.) It allows you to add, remove or replace categories without opening the page for editing. It also does an automatic edit summary (which is useful for other editors, since they can see that it is a HotCat edit and, probably, ignore it). HotCat is available from 'my preferences-->Gadgets-->Editing gadgets'.

Keep up the good work! Cheers -- EdJogg (talk) 10:55, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Addition of Categories for Station opening and closing dates
I support your addition of these categories but in some cases, for stations whose history I am familiar with, your changes are somewhat misleading or even confusing. Specifically listing Grosmont as opening in 1865 could be said to be wrong since only the Esk Valley line platform was opened on that date. The original station at Grosmont opened under the name Tunnel in 1835, this station was rebuilt and given two platforms and reopened in 1847, now named Grosmont since the village of that name had developed around the original station.

The dates for Beckhole are even more complicated, originally officially opened in 1836 (although it may have been in use during the previous year), it closed to passengers only in 1865, becoming a terminus station at the same time. It reopened to passengers in 1908 closing to passengers on the outbreak of WW1 in 1914 but it remained open for goods for some time, losing that service at some so far unrecorded date as the branch serving it was gradually truncated as the individual private sidings it served were closed, the last fragment of the branch was closed in the early 1950's.

XTOV (talk) 10:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Re Grosmont railway station; I remember being uncertain at the time what date to use and plumped for that in the Infobox ! I remember being uncertain whether the name 'Tunnel' referred to the town or the station. I guess thinking about it this referred to the station ! I have therefore corrected the Category to 1836 - I have also corrected it in the Infobox.


 * Re Beckhole railway station; all I had to go on is the article itself which makes no mention of 1836; hence I could not use that; I could I guess have added Closed in 1865 category but I didn't, never mind I have added it now - If you can include a referenced statement to Beckhole station opening in 1836 then I'll (or you) can add the category !

Category:Newspapers published in Nunavut
Just curious about this edit. Did you confuse the territory of Nunavut with the region of Quebec called Nunavik? something lame from CBW 21:58, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If Nanavut is in Quebec is in Canada then I think all should now be OK (I made another tweak); do you agree ?GrahamHardy (talk) 22:04, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You are mixing two different places up. Canada has 10 provinces, one of which is Quebec, and 3 territories, one of which is Nunavut. The province of Quebec is made up of several regions, one of which is Nunavik. However, Nunavut is not part of Quebec. something lame from CBW 23:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

MSC and ship prefixes
I noticed you had defaultsorted some ships owned by MSC so that they're not listed under M. You should know that MSC in these cases is not a ship prefix like MS, but the abbreviation of the company name (Mediterranean Shipping Company). Therefore similarly as Carnival Fantasy is sorted by it's full name and not as "Fantasy", MSC Fantasia should be sorted as "MSC Fantasia" and not "Fantasia". Just thought you should know—you aren't the first one to make this mistake. — Kjet (talk · contribs) 10:19, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:OracleNight.jpg

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. <span style="-moz-border-radius-topleft:15px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:15px; border:4px ridge blue; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em blue; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em blue; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; background-color:black"> TehMissingLink  Talk  19:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:PenalColony.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of The Primary School


The article The Primary School has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Nothing on this page asserts, let alone establishes, notability. Can find no coverage in reliable sources. I looked.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. David in DC (talk) 01:03, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Book covers not showing up on the pages you are adding them to
Hi Graham. Thanks for uploading book cover images to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, none of the cover images you have added to articles are showing up in those articles because you have not followed the template precisely. Please note that the infobox template for books requires that the format for images conform exactly to this style:. That is, there must be a descriptor word or phrase at the end, after an "|" character. Without that, the image will not show up on Wikipedia.

Could you please go back and correct all of the images you have uploaded, so that they will appear in the infoboxes? Right now, all that appears is a large empty space and a non-existent image character. Lastly, please remember to check "Show preview" on any page you edit on Wikipedia before you click "Save page". Thanks very much! Softlavender (talk) 18:27, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:HellBarbusse.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:HellBarbusse.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Acather96 (talk) 20:17, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Book covers re: Stephen Crane
Hi GrahamHardy, I noticed that you recently uploaded book covers of several Stephen Crane works, including ones for The Red Badge of Courage, The Open Boat, and others. For the time being, I've removed the covers to these two works for several reasons. First, the latter is an FA and the other is currently at FAC, so the presence of any Fair-Use image may prove problematic. Second, your source (to AbeBooks) is not conclusive, mainly because the site is user-generated. Unless I'm wrong? Can you prove that these images are in fact the first US editions? I believe this to be the case for the Red Badge cover, but the Open Boat cover seems odd, especially since it doesn't include the full, original title of the work. Another issue is that you've tagged these works as being Fair-Use when, if they are in fact first edition publications, they would be in the public domain in the US because they pre-date 1923. Phew, lots of points. :) If you can clear up any of these issues, let me know!  María ( habla  con migo ) 02:00, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Happy to leave The Red Badge of Courage until the FAC process is complete. I have changed the liscensing on File:TheOpenBoat.jpg and amended the source website to http://www.betweenthecovers.com/btc/item/95814/ if you check the source they provide more information, does that help ? Abebooks shows several first edition covers, both UK and US; all of which are just inscribed "The Open Boat"... also looking at the title page http://www.archive.org/stream/openboatothertal00cranuoft#page/n5/mode/2up indicates that the 'And Other Tales Of Adventure' was an adjunct to the main title... GrahamHardy (talk) 11:26, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! Along with the sources you've provided, I've also researched Will H. Bradley's work and found that he did illustrate the 1898 edition, so I agree it's most probably the first edition cover.  If you similarly change the Red Badge cover (as well as the other ones re: Crane) to the public domain, we could work it back into the article without ruffling any feathers at FAC. :)  (Sorry for causing the automated messages below, btw; I forgot the bot did that.) María ( habla  con migo ) 12:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I have similiarly amended File:TheRedBadgeOfCourage.jpg, I'll leave it to your people to reinstate it into the article, I will do the other Crane books shortly, Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 14:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The Red Badge cover has been re-added. Thanks so much for taking the time to research and upload these quality images!  The articles are far better with them included, and I greatly appreciate your help. María ( habla  con migo ) 14:59, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Or there's File:EnormousRoom.JPG but the rationale needs changing from Fair Use to Public Domain... GrahamHardy (talk) 20:41, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much. I've spent hours today trawling through images but you're much better at this than I am. I prefer the Dreiser one because it shows the publisher on the spine. TK   (talk)  20:44, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you OK to load it etc. or do you want me to ? GrahamHardy (talk) 20:54, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm really bad at loading - would you mind? Then we can use it for the Dreiser article too. Thanks. TK   (talk)  20:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I've done it OK : File:TheHandOfThePotter.jpg, can I leave you to do the rest ? GrahamHardy (talk) 21:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, no prob. Thanks so much! TK   (talk)  21:15, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

FYI, I've listed File:TheHandOfThePotter.jpg at WP:PUF because, although the book is of course PD, the photo itself is a different matter. --dave pape (talk) 18:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

If you have anything to contribute, please feel welcome to do so. I also created the article nl:Treinramp bij Schiedam on Dutch Wikipedia. BTW I live very near to the location where it happened so I might take a picture of the surroundings once I figure out where it exactly happened (I have a general idea based on the NOS video but all the buildings in it aren't there anymore AFAIKS), maybe a panorama like on Harmelen train disaster.
