Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alexander Monro (secundus), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alexander Monro.

File permission problem with File:Sir Henry Wade.tif
Thanks for uploading File:Sir Henry Wade.tif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ramaksoud2000Bot (talk) 19:03, 17 April 2017 (UTC)


 * It is our policy that Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy but this is not consistently applied so you might consult Ewan McAndrew for local assistance with such red tape.

I saw your proposed DYK on John Fraser. I also see you are exempted from reviewing one DYK nomination. I am also exempt but I did a review anyway. Would you consider doing a review on mine, which has sat 4 days with no response? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know_nominations/WestJet_Encore I can help yours to move along by reviewing it. It's not too hard to review. I have done it with help from others. I'm willing to help you, too. Vanguard10 (talk) 04:17, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

I did my first review only last month. I copied this template from a veteran reviewer.

To the right of the review page is a copyright vio detector that automatically compares references and the internet to see if there is plagiarism. I am certain that I didn't do any of that. If you click on "edit source" you can see how to copy the chart. Vanguard10 (talk) 03:47, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Just had a look at what is involved in the review process and I'd prefer to pass on this one and get advice from a senior editor that I am meeting in a couple of weeks. Sorry. I agree with the other comment that the ALT hook is the better.Papamac (talk) 15:30, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Great article. I hope you will nominate it at DYK which you have a three days left to do. Don't forget to italicise book and journal names and put article names in "quotes". We don't usually capitalise the first letters of job names or offices. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:46, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Another nice article. Could you put a clearer assertion in the lead of why she is more notable, X was Y who was the first to/invented/won Z. The references also need properly formatting in line with the Ivens. Thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:54, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Copyright infringement
I can see that you are a relatively new editor, but you need to know that Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. You must not copy and paste text from sources you find on the web into articles as you did in the article William Russell (physician). I have not at the moment removed the infringing text, but the material you copied is subject to copyright, as is almost everything on the web, and when creating or expanding articles, you should completely rewrite the information in the source using your own words. Take a look at this tool. The pink highlighted areas are where the text of your article is identical to the source. I am not worried about the earlier phrases, but the paragraphs from "He was an early protagonist of women in medicine" onwards are much too close to the source. If you rewrite this part of the article I will not have to remove the text entirely and ask for what is known as revision-deletion. Let me know if I can be of further help. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:01, 14 April 2018 (UTC) @Cwmhiraeth Thanks for picking that up. Had intended to go back to revise that but distracted on another article. Have made suggested changes. Is it now acceptable?Papamac (talk) 11:18, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:32, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Use of DEFAULTSORT
When creating Wikipedia pages, say for "Alexander Monteith (surgeon)", please remember to put "DEFAULTSORT:Monteith, Alexander" preceded by 2 "{"s and followed by 2 "}"s at the head of the Wikipedia categories so that the Wikipedia display for each category will sort on "Monteith" instead of "Alexander".

Munro of Auchinbowie
Hi, thanks for your message regarding the Munro of Auchinbowie article. I started the article in 2010 as a "branch" of the Clan Munro because it seemed that they had no end of distinguished members, that all met the notability requirements for Wikipedia. Not just doctors, but military officers and others well into the 20th century with the likes of Charles Monro (rugby union), for example. I attended the Clan Munro Gathering in 2014 at Foulis Castle and there was a talk which addressed much of the information in your paper, in particular the connection between the Munro of Auchinbowie doctors and those of the Monro of Fyrish family, as well as the local bone-setters. Your edits to Primus are sound. I understand that your interest is probably more with the doctors and medical side of the family. I am also interested in that but at the same time I am actively creating articles here on Wikipedia for notable "branches" of the many different clans, not just Clan Munro. For example: Mackay of Aberach, Sutherland of Forse, Sutherland of Killipheder, Munro of Culcairn, Munro of Culrain and several others. However, when doing this I have to make sure that there is enough information to write an article with enough information to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements as otherwise all that you will have is just a basic genealogy. As such I do not think I will be able to do another article for another cadet branch of the Clan Munro which has enough notable information. I thought about doing one for the Munros of Newmore but there were actually only four men of that designation: George Munro, 1st of Newmore who already has a lengthy article, Hugh Munro, 2nd of Newmore for whom I can only find the basic genealogy, George Munro, 3rd of Newmore who was involved in the Skirmish of Alness in 1715 and John Munro, 4th of Newmore who already has his own short article. Regards. QuintusPetillius (talk) 11:07, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Yes, my interest is pretty much confined to the medical members of the clan. Along with some other editors I'll aim to try to improve the articles devoted to them. I now see just how much you have contributed on the genealogy of various clans and look forward to reading them. Best wishes Papamac (talk) 16:38, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

File:Iain Macintyre, President BSHM 2015-2017.jpg
Hi Iainmacintyre. Can you clarify why this photo is your “own work”? Generally, it’s the photographer who takes a photo not the subject of the photo who is considered to be the copyright holder and it’s the copyright holder’s consent which is needed for a photo to be kept under this type of copyright license. This photo looks more like something taken by another person (perhaps something you arrange yourself or was arranged on your behalf) than it looks like a selfie, and in that case Wikipedia would require the photographer’s consent for it to be released under such a license or verification that the copyright has been transferred to you, particularly if the photo is also available from some other website. Please see c:Commons:OTRS for more on this. — Marchjuly (talk) 22:57, 29 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks  You are quite right, this was taken by a friend. I don't know his current whereabouts to get permission so it should therefore be deleted. Thanks for pointing this out. Yet more for my learning experience. Papamac (talk) 12:23, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

COI editing
Hi again Iainmacintyre. I’m adding this as separate post because it involves something related to but not exactly the same as my above post about photo of yourself. If you’re connected in something more than a casual way to the BSHM, then you need to be aware of WP:COI and adhere to the guidelines given on that page as much as possible. This doesn’t mean that you need to stop every thing that you’re doing, but just be careful in doing them. Wikipedia doesn’t expressly prohibit COI editing (undeclared compensated editing, however, isn’t permitted), but it does highly discourage it for some very good reasons. The best thing to do if you’ve got a COI is to be as transparent as possible and follow WP:COIADVICE and WP:DECLARECOI. You’ve been editing for quite some time so maybe you already know all of this, but please read the relevant policy/guideline pages if you’re not familiar with them. — Marchjuly (talk) 23:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Many thanks . I hadn't read the COI guidance before so very useful to know. Papamac (talk) 14:34, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

DYK Lydia Manley Henry
Thank you for creating the page about my maternal grandmother, Lydia Manley Henry. I haven't gone through the page with a fine tooth comb to check for any errors or omissions, but will let you know. I know that she did prefer the name "Leila" to her given name "Lydia" Just wanted you to know that the work is appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexMurdoch7 (talk • contribs) 15:34, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

McGibbon & Ross
Hi - last year, you reviewed an article of mine (Coxton Tower), and we had a brief discussion about how you were surprised it wasn't mentioned in 'McGibbon & Ross' - I remember looking at it at the time, and thinking that it would be a useful source to look at if I was writing about a castle again, but I can't seem to find it now. Don't suppose you could point me to an online copy of it could you? Thanks Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  18:13, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Extramural medical education in Edinburgh
Hi, I was trying to find information on the School of Medicine of the Royal Colleges of Edinburgh mentioned in Edinburgh College of Medicine for Women and eventually found Extramural medical education in Edinburgh, so I created two redirects to make the Extramural article easier to find. By the way, thank you for creating both of the articles.

Would you be interested in adding a paragraph about extramural education to Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and possibly Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh? Extramural education was obviously an important part of the history of both bodies. TSventon (talk) 12:06, 21 March 2021 (UTC).

Hi. Firstly many thanks for adding all these links to Extramural medical education in Edinburgh. Yes, it would be a good idea to add a paragraph on extramural education to both these articles and I'll add it to my list of things to do. Thanks again. Papamac (talk) 12:30, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Apologies for adding to your to do list. I have also tried to improve links to St Mungo's College, which was possibly part of Extramural medical education in Glasgow. TSventon (talk) 19:42, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Your talk page archives
Hi! I'm currently going through Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage, fixing every page listed there. Most of them are quite simple, but your talk page archives are a little more complicated (and I didn't want to just dive in without your permission, as I've done on the talk page archives of regular articles). You've currently got /Archive 1 and /Archive 3. On 17 May 2019, you archived some things to /Archive 1. After that, from 18 May to 3 November 2019, Lowercase sigmabot III archived a lot of stuff to /Archive 3. You tried to change something on 8 November 2019 (Special:Diff/925176264), and since then, archiving hasn't worked. I think the cleanest solution is to merge the archives, by copying everything from /Archive 1 to /Archive 3, and then move /Archive 3 to /Archive 1. After that, we can fix the settings so that the bot continues archiving there.

Let me know if you want me to do this. It's only a few minutes work for me (less time than it took me to write this explanation), but I didn't want to start messing with your archives without your permission. --rchard2scout (talk) 07:55, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Many thanks for that kind offer. I have had issues trying to sort the archive and I would be very grateful if you can fix things for me. Many thanks. Papamac (talk) 10:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Done! It should work now, the archive bot will come along somewhere between 0:00 and 7:00 UTC tonight to archive stuff. --rchard2scout (talk) 12:40, 4 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks again . Much appreciated. Papamac (talk) 13:37, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

George Lauder (surgeon)
Please can you do something about the tag on George Lauder (surgeon) before the article appears on the main page in DYK in two days time. I don't know which sources considers unreliable. Also pinging who is a regular contributor to medicine-related articles and more likely to see this in time. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure...will have a look. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:58, 22 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thamks and . Yes, it would be helpful to know which citation  had in mind. The only candidate seems to be the Wikitree citation. I couldn't find any ruling that the ban on citing Wikipedia extends to Wikitree. Is there a MOS ruling on this? On the assumption that the Wikitree citation is the one in question I have removed the text about his forebear which derived from this source. It is a pity but hopefully another source can be found to re-establish what is an important family connection. I've also removed the tag on this assumption.Papamac (talk) 08:35, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikitree is problematic, but so is FamilySearch - see its entry at WP:RSP. Primary sources from that site may be used in accordance with WP:PSTS, but user-generated information cannot. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:09, 22 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for those edits and for finding the Edgar source. I've replaced the last Family Search citation with primary sources.  thanks for that guidance. Family search has a vast database of primary records but I don't see a way of citing the primary record without 'family search' appearing in the citation. Any thoughts? Can the tag now be removed? .  Papamac (talk) 09:51, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you both for the improvements. I have removed the tag as the main page appearance is imminent. If thinks it should be replaced, perhaps that could be done afterwards. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * What appears in the citation is not as important as what is being cited - as above, primary sources are okay as long as PSTS is followed. Nikkimaria (talk) 11:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
