Hey, thanks for adding the info tho Robert Felkin. Did the info come from Ellic Howe's book Magicians of the Golden Dawn? I'd like to put some citations in, since this info is not found in Islands of the Dawn, as the current wording would imply... Fuzzypeg ☻ 02:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I am not sure how to work this, or to reply, or email direct. But I have a lot more info on Robert Felkin -- not from Ellic Howe's book, but mainly from the net -- including a picture. As it happens, he was a (distant) relation of mine, too. If I have time I hope to add a bit more, or send to you. I added him as a resident of Havelock North; pupil of Wolverhampton Grammar School. Perhaps we need to add to Categories? I have seen the daughter's name more often spelt "Ethlewyn". Can you check your source? Handsaw 17:30, 19 March 2007.


 * My source (Islands of the Dawn) says "Ethelwyn". It'd be great if you could point me towards those webpages you mention; attribution of information is a pretty key concern in Wikipedia, and currently the article misleadingly implies that all that new info comes from Islands of the Dawn. In fact, before I forget, I'll put in some tags marking where in the article citations are needed... Fuzzypeg ☻ 04:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * By the way, that's really good work you've done there. Sorry for putting those "citation needed" tags everywhere; hopefully we can get rid of them again fairly quickly. If you want to add a citation in the text and don't know how to format it, just stick it in brackets or something and I'll format it later. Cheers, Fuzzypeg ☻ 05:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. It's fun creatively communicating and collaborating across oceans and time zones. I have added and tweaked a little, tightening the structure, I hope not too intrusively. Hadn't much time today to check the sources, but I promise to have a go and enter at citation needed ref. in brackets (and, no, I don't know how to format, but am learning a few tricks!) The added family details are given in the Patricia Pegg book now cited, and his birth details in the 1881 Census available online (see IGI). You seem to have corroborated or found a lot of my sources brilliantly. Handsaw at 00.29 GMT.

Adriaen van Utrecht
Hi. thanks for adding to the Adriaen van Utrecht article. Might you be able to provide some references for the information? --Stomme (talk) 07:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I'll work on it. btw, I noticed there are several images in the "gallery" section of the Portuguese entry: do you know how to get these into this article? They also have a caption for the main image.

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Joseph Webb
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Joseph Webb, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.roeandmoore.co.uk/WEBBJoseph.asp?Cat=WEBB,%20Joseph.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 20:02, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph Webb


A tag has been placed on Joseph Webb requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Eeekster (talk) 20:13, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Laura Bechtolsheimer. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 213.246.124.135 (talk) 19:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Laura Bechtolsheimer, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. 213.246.124.135 (talk) 19:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Handsaw! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Mander baronets that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 10:56, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help. The point is that I recall that I made numerous edits, mainly improving inline citations, references, phraseology. I only marked very few of them as "minor", which I considered were mostly matters of typos, syntax, etc., to save editors the bother of checking them all. In future, I will aim to apply stricter criteria for this. Handsaw (talk) 10:15, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It was changing/adding refs that caught my eye, includingon related related articles. It's itself a minor thing really, but something to be aware of for the future. Keep up the good work. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
