Whitby
Hi, before the review I was looking at this for information on twin cities to source the rest but the list does not match up with what we have so I left it. May be there is a more up to date list somewhere. Keith D (talk) 11:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, that was the only one that I could find too. I even tried going to the other towns mentioned, then trying to find out who they were twinned with but no joy.--Harkey (talk) 11:52, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

 * Thanks. The name appealed to my childish sense of humour, too!!:-)--Harkey (talk) 17:48, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Newsletter
Hi, do you fancy doing a feature for the September Newsletter? I will be away for when it is due but by the delivery time of recent editions should be back by the time it goes out. Keith D (talk) 21:57, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'll have a go, though I'm still wiping away the rust after being absent for so long. Any hints about topical subject matter?--Harkey (talk) 14:57, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have no thoughts as yet on a topic, though possibly something on schools as it is back to school month. The rest is done apart from the article counts which I will update end of the week before I go. 15:52, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, but I am allergic to schools: it could bring on a bout of violent sneezing!! Seriously though, yes, I'll do that. --Harkey (talk) 15:59, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Done and added. I hope it's not too preaching. Feel free to add, subtract, link or anything else.--Harkey (talk) 10:24, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I did not spot this earlier as I edited it before I got to it on the watchlist. I have added a link to Please do not bite the newcomers at the end, may be I need to be a little slower on the rollback key! Keith D (talk) 21:31, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

James Cook
Hi, I still think that the main problem here is the references section. There are a number of entries that need splitting up and page numbers adding like ref 3. Also in Bibliography "Beaglehole, John, biographer of Cook and editor of his Journals." does not refer to any specific item but presumably is there to go with ref 14 but what is the 444?

I started switching the Bibliography section to templates so could use Havard referencing but did not get too far. Keith D (talk) 12:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll have a go at the references. I think my main concern is that, as a biography, it seems a bit short. The trouble is that, although all his journals are published and online, there is very little about the man. All books about him, sooner or later, lapse into quoting huge chunks from his journals. I wanted to avoid that.--Harkey (talk) 12:20, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Just a note that a link to Cook is on the main page today with an on this day entry for HMS Endeavour. As that is an FA article may be useful to fill in some details in James' article. See you in a weeks time. Keith D (talk) 10:13, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
