Hi Nedrutland,

I noticed you addition to the Dreimanis article. I'm going to remove it for now. Please feel free to add it back if you have a reference to confirm.

We have to be diligent about sourcing all our references, especially for living people. Clerks. 17:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Seaton Viaduct
I think you're getting confused between Seaton viaduct and Welland/Harringworth viaduct. Seaton viaduct is the separate structure to the north of Seaton that carries the existing line over the dismantled line to Uppingham (see this map). This is confirmed by the Quail Railway Track Diagrams, Volume 4: Midlands & North West (ISBN 0-9549866-0-1). It may be that local residents refer to the Welland viaduct as Seaton - if you can provide citeably evidence of this it may be worth adding. I have some other statistics about the Welland viaduct, which I'll add tonight. – Tivedshambo (talk) 06:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Isle of Wight
I think we (Wikipedia) had the claim about Rutland prior to the QI episode was broadcast, but I don't deny that it might have been added by a QI elf during their research. Still it strikes me as not being an unreasonable claim - what with a coastline of c. 92 km, it would only take approximately 50m on average between high and low tide to make the Island larger than Rutland.

Anyway - just though the fact that we got there first might be of interest to you. :: smile :: --Neo (talk) 12:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I find the factoid extremely dubious. Calculation of area would normally be based only upon dry land i.e. the high tide figure.

Billy Barker was Cornish
Just noticed your edit at Barkerville, British Columbia from a while back; he may have been from Cambridgeshire but all BC histories describe him as Cornish; ethnically Cornish only, but enough of a Cornishman that all his contemporaries described him that way.

Walter Padley
Hello, Nedrutland

I notice that you have categorised Walter Padley as a British conscientious objector, but you have added no detail of such objection to the body of the article. Have you any detail, source etc?

Mountdrayton (talk) 01:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Not the firmest evidence; at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jt.williams/lh/events.htm I had found this about the Ealing Acton by-election "Walter Padley was an industrial organizer with a large amount of support from the shop stewards at Napiers, an engineering firm located in Acton Vale. During the war he had been a conscientious objector believing the war to be imperialist in its aims. However he had also been rejected by a medical board for military service on the grounds that he suffered from asthma." Ned de Rotelande 06:00, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Rutland Scouting
Hi,

You seem to know something about this. I have seen one site that suggests the Rutland is now a District in Lincolnshire. Is that right or is it still a separate County? Whatever the answer is, is there a source we can use on wikipedia? --Bduke (talk) 12:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * separate county (again) - the main entry for Rutland is correctMajor-General Clanger (talk) 14:21, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but what main article? Scouting in East Midlands has Rutland as a District in Lincolnshire. That is the article where it should be discussed. The real point is that whatever Rutland is, we need a source. Original research is not allowed. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  21:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Sir Robert Pattinson
Thanks for the correction re: Kesteven County Council. I thought I had the correct reference in an earlier version which I cut and pasted into the article when I was editing it but obviously not.

Re Biggles
Dear Nedrutland,

regarding your undo of my amendment to Biggles page regarding flight training. Seething is not a fictional place. It is in fact a Norfolk village and aerodrome South East of Norwich. The aerodrome was base for Liberator Bombers of the USAF 448th Bomber Group of US 2nd Air Division, a museum still exists in their memory, see www.seething-airfield.com/history.php.

My alteration to Seething linked to the village page on Wikipedia, the previous link to 'Settling' linked to a chemical reaction(??)

Regards,

Nick Sims —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.137.152.21 (talk) 10:32, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Nick,
 * When I undid your revision my note was "Fictional place I believe (- unless you can cite))" by which I meant Settling (like Frensham, Lincs) was a fictional base. I accept Seething is not fictional but I understand the Biggles books (which I do not have) refer to a training school at Settling. If you can cite a source that he trained at Seething, please supply a reference. As far as I can see, Seething airbase only opened in WW2.


 * I agree that Settling should not be wikilinked.
 * Ned de Rotelande 11:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have now found the reference: "It was an aerodrome, or, to be more precise, the aerodrome of No. 17 Flying Training School, which was situated near the village of Settling, in Norfolk."

Mayor of Uppingham
I have posted the following on the Uppingham discussion page:

"There has been a revert conflict between several numerical IP addresses and me about the name of the mayor. The IPs maintain that Margaret Simpson is mayor and initially linked to a Ghanaian heptathlete of that name. Lately the IPs (one of which has been blocked) have offered a supposed supporting reference but the cited source http://www.uppinghamonline.co.uk/ does not support their claim.

There is a Margaret Simpson in Uppingham, a retired primary head whose husband is a town councillor and former mayor, but she is not the mayor nor a town councillor.

The current members of Uppingham Town Council are shown on the town council’s website; http://www.uppinghamtowncouncil.co.uk/page3.html and http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/parish/detail.asp?id=12&page=5 which show that the mayor is Karen Senogles and this is confirmed by news reports, for example http://www.rutland-times.co.uk/news/Housing-development-officially-opened.5258382.jp from this year."

Philip Hamond
Thanks for this superb new stub. But please explain: what had the Rector of Stiffkey done to make Hamond so angry? The Straits Times article cited seems to be too politely restrained to go into detail on this. Thanks, Gurt Posh (talk) 10:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

One suggestion is "Davidson's fall from grace began when he tactlessly demanded that an influential parishioner, Major Philip Hamond, must buy the land around the grave of his first wife if he wanted to tend it." "Defrocked rector was 'unfairly vilified'" Guardian, 18 September 2004 (His first wife had died 1926)

In 1930, Davidson missed the Remembrance Day service. Hamond, who had disliked Davidson since he refused to allow him to be churchwarden in 1919 and had had several further altercations with him since, was 'incandescent with rage' and accused Davidson of insulting the war dead. One could imagine that a ex-army officer would not take to a theatrical, flamboyant leftie! Ned de Rotelande 11:06, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rupert Matthews (politician)


The article Rupert Matthews (politician) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:35, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Because it was from a numerical IP, was a wholesale replacement, it appeared a cut & paste job, lacked references, did not comply with Wikipedia manual of style and was tagged "references removed".

Burghley House
Hi Ned, I'm interested in why you revert edits that place it in Lincolnshire when the website of the house itself states that it's in Lincolshire. Do you have a WP:RS that places it in Cambs? Regards, Ericoides (talk) 10:46, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

You misinterpret the House's website. The website pages gives a postal address as Stamford, Lincolnshire i.e. the post town is in Lincolnshire but the house itself is not.

The house is in the area traditionally known as the Soke of Peterborough which has been shunted around different admin arrangements over the years (but never with Lincs). Currently it is the unitary authority of Peterborough which remains for ceremonial purposes in Cambridgeshire. Nedrutland (talk)

Hello, I'm Faizan.

Hello, I'm Latin Wolf   (talk). I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions to Norval Marley because it didn't appear constructive. Multiple articles, along with surname etymologies, state that Marley comes from Sussex, England. If you feel like this is wrong, please provide a source stating otherwise and discuss it on the talk page. Until then, do not revert any further edits as you have been doing. Latin Wolf  (talk)  10:29, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

I did undo one of your edits because it did not seem constructive; you removed a request for citation without providing any citation. You now claim there are "multiple sources" for Sussex; if so you will have no difficulty supplying one reliable citation. Please do not remove requests for citation in future. Nedrutland (talk) 10:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Albert Thomas Marley was English but where was he from?

Registrations of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales are indexed on line at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ For the 50 year period from 1837, when the indexing begins, to 1887 (after the approx birth date of Norval), in the County of Sussex there is not one birth of anyone with both the surname Marley and the first name Albert. Now possibly this is because his forenames have been transposed; in 1861, a Thomas Albert Marley was born in the district of Rye.

However in 1851 an Albert Thomas Marley was born in the district of Billericay, Essex and significantly, a Norval Richard Marley was born in Essex in 1847. Albert Thomas appears in Essex in the Censuses of 1861 and 1871 but not 1881.

A website gives further details, including Albert Thomas Marley, b. South Weald, Brentwood, Essex, England, 29 Oct. 1851, d. Colon, Panama, 1 Feb. 1885.

So, it seems that Norval's father was from Essex while his paternal grandparents were born in Rye, Sussex.

Hello. Without admitting anything, I may happen to know that DBaK has stormed off in a huff after getting thoroughly fed up with this place and is unwilling to participate in anything much at the moment. However I am sure that he or she would be distressed that you'd taken the trouble to leave them a note which might go unanswered for a while. I conjecture that if he or she had seen your note and did reply, they might well have said something like: With best wishes from SomeAnonymousPasserAhemYesIndeed SomeAnonymousPasserAhemYesIndeed (talk) 09:25, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Thank you very much for the note.
 * 2) Well done with the N&A thing - obviously daft in its previous form; much better taken out as it has no useful refs; if someone wants it back in then I'm sure they can find a ref. :) (ahem, to A not N!)
 * 3) It's interesting to note the story of how that came about, thank you.
 * 4) Yes, Attlee was often known as The Major so it is significant. DBaK may have been right with his/her view that a direct mention of Clem was useful ... or maybe not. it is, after all, only one click away. "Major Clement Attlee" might read slightly oddly - so on reflection you could just leave it! Storm in teacup. :)
 * 5) DYK: I understand that DBaK doesn't know anything about this process - sorry. But he or she might well wish you luck with it anyway, out of a general fuzzy goodwill sort of thing. :)

Heritage Grades
Hi. I notice that you are applying the change from "grade" to "Grade" in some articles. Just in case you get pulled-up over this, I did present a query on which is best at WikiProject Architecture and was advised that "Grade" is the way to go. The article Listed buildings does capitalise it within, not just at the start, of sentences, and this link shows Nat. Her. using "Grade" within descriptions - here. Happy editing.

Main Page appearance: Harold Davidson
This is a note to let the main editors of Harold Davidson know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 28, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director or one of his delegates (,, and ), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/July 28, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Harold Davidson (1875–1937), rector of the Norfolk parish of Stiffkey (church pictured), was a Church of England priest who was convicted in 1932 on charges of immorality and defrocked by the Church. Ordained in 1903, he worked among London's poor and homeless. Styling himself the "Prostitute's Padre", his declared mission was to rescue young girls he considered in danger of falling into prostitution. In this role he approached and befriended hundreds of women, and although there was little evidence of improper behaviour, he was often found in compromising situations and his neglect of his parish and family caused difficulties. A formal complaint led to church disciplinary proceedings, in which his defence was damaged beyond repair by a photograph of him with a near-naked teenage girl. Davidson then pursued a career as a showman to raise funds for his reinstatement campaign, performing novelty acts such as exhibiting himself in a barrel on the Blackpool seafront. He died after being attacked by a lion in whose cage he was appearing. Later commentators have accepted that however inappropriate his behaviour, his motives were genuine and he did not deserve the humiliations he endured. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Can I ask why you've indicated that The National Liberal Party are a far right party?

If you check with the electoral commission I have requested a name change and a change of personnel. I have NEVER been a member of The Third Way and was not instrumental in any way in it's formation, it's function or it's ethos. I want a fairer society of people of all colours, religions and sexualities who are proud to be British and live by British laws and whilst actively campaigning against racists groups including the EDL and the BNP, I encouraging people from all walks of national origins to join the party and stand for us. Our membership and support reflects this. The policy document is available on the site and I'd love to hear how it is 'far right'. I'm actually considering whether your amendment was slander and I'll leave that to my solicitor to get back to me on.

Proposed deletion of Glen Maney


The article Glen Maney has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The subject is a non-notable comedian and officer of a very small political party. This is a BLP that lacks any third-party sources.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please discontinue any and all edits of the Third Way page.

The materials contained within the article on my side are those from the direct membership and leaders of what was then the Third Way committee.

Christchurch Cathedral
Hi. Maybe we were seeing different things on different browsers. My removal of half a pair of brackets was certainly wrong, but your restoration of it to what appeared to be the wrong place didn't seem right either ... or at least not as I am seeing it! For reference, what I saw after your undo was an isolated right parenthesis on its own line between the "Earthquakes" header and its first line of text, "The Canterbury region has experienced many earthquakes etc etc". What I am now seeing is that the photo caption ends "(note the round rose window)" with the right parenthesis moved to the correct place. Is that what you are seeing also? Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 14:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Greetings Nedrutland. Thanks for your note (from last January). I've only just seen it (because you left it on my userpage, not on my talk page) and have acted accordingly. I don't recall the exact reason for having changed the spelling..., but there must have been one (I can't access the references right now due to an IT hitch to check, so I'll take your word for it) because I wouldn't normally modify a diaeresis without good cause.

Lawrence and Brass Rubbings
In fact the story is true, Lawrence did do brass rubbings as a teenager (?!?!?); maybe that only seems weird from a 21st-century perspective. Marking it as uncited would be perfectly OK though. Tim Bray (talk) 07:38, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Sorry if I am missing the point but I thought NR had removed it because it was a duplicate? It's near the start of the archaeology section, and I would not have thought it needed two mentions. As for it being weird, I dunno - if you google "brass rubbing" you find plenty of current refs to it. It's just that often now churches don't permit original brasses to be rubbed, hence the appearance of centres with reproductions. And it's the 21st century and I am (more or less) alive ... :) cheers DBaK (talk) 09:47, 18 May 2014 (UTC)


 * DBaK's interpretation of my motives is correct - I removed the sentence because it was covered more fully in the following section - and with a reference - and not from any prejudice against the interest. (As a small boy, I visited many a church with an older sibling who did do brass-rubbing). Nedrutland (talk) 13:25, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear Sir, I understand your correction, but the problem is that in the text a little bit higher is written: Rockcliffe (as on: www.streetmap.co.uk). Why is it than here: Rocliffe?

Atwell
Dear Ned, you are doubtless correct to challenge this epithet. My only defence for using it is that that is how V Wing himself described Atwell in the title page of the Defence of Astrologie, supposedly written in 1658 and edited in 1660 (a date I have only just corrected from the inherited mistake saying 1668). Here's the 1660 wording: "Written by the Learned and Ingenious Mathematician, Mr. GEORGE ATWEL, late Professor of the Mathematicks in the University of Cambridg; and now published by a Friend, for the publike benefit of his native Countrymen of England. VVhose Preface is hereunto annexed." This is linked to in my footnote giving the title of the Defence. It does appear to be saying that Atwell is a Prof in the University, though 'Professor' might only mean teacher in this case perhaps. You are ahead of me and I must keep up! I suppose Venn's Alumni is the next stop? Thanks for your continuing vigilance, as I am prone to such casual infelicities. Yrs Eebahgum (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your response. If he had been a professor I thought he should have a mention at least elsewhere on Wikipedia but couldn't find one. I did then look at Venn which only offers "Atwell, George. 'Cantab. de studio et praxi mathematicis non ignobilis': died Sept. 14, 1658, aged 82. M.I. at N. Runcton, Norfolk. Should have matriculated c. 1593-5. (Le Neve, Mon. v. 48.)". Nedrutland (talk) 11:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm, I've noticed there's a bit of a problem. I've been going over the sources for the statement that ip has tried to remove twice. Dinenage's site has been revamped, so the supporting information vanished. Normally, I'd just switch out to the archive url, but that's mangled. Annoyingly, I saw the information was there myself. and suspiciously Dinenage's site removed that page almost immediately after a HoC IP address tried to remove it from the article.

It looks to my eyes like someone is very keen to rewrite history, but as it stands we don't have a source for the claim the ip is trying to remove right now. Any ideas on how to proceed? Dolescum (talk) 01:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Papal bull
you are not going to get copies of papal bull since chanceries are now strict at releasing copies of papal bull due to possibly plagiarism, especially in social media. we have way too many devotees claiming honors and prestige when there is no proof from Rome that such are designated by the Pope or their prefects.

Edith Cavell Bridge
Hi Ned. I've removed your listing of the bridge from the main Edith Cavell page because it was already listed on the List of dedications to Edith Cavell page. The citation was interesting though and I have transferred that over. There are so many places, schools, roads etc named after Edith that they have been split away from the main page.

Thankful Villages
Ned,

Hi, I have a question, and I am a relative newbie by the way. On Thankful Villages you changed the citation that I put in, from the i newspaper (by which I had meant the printed paper - not sure if that was clear ... should have given page no), to be a hyperlink to a web page of the same material (and with same date) at that newspaper's website. Now suppose that link went dead at some point, this would then be a no-good citation whereas my original citation from the printed paper would have still been good. So I ask whether the link citation is really better than the printed paper citation? Or maybe you assumed it was a just poorly written reference to the website? I realise links are handy for people... maybe there's some way it can show both ? Thanks Malevan (talk) 21:53, 20 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello Malevan, I expanded the citation on Thankful Villages so that for the few that had access to a hard copy of that edition of the newspaper they could still find it but for the rather larger number who had access online they could find it instantly. And while some links do go dead, web archiving generally means the info is recoverable.


 * There is a lengthy article here - Citing sources with links to further pages (such as Inline citation)- which will answer more questions than you can conceive. Nedrutland (talk) 07:34, 21 July 2016 (UTC) OK, thanks Malevan (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Pictures
You seem to do a good job finding pictures on commons and adding them to lists of listed buildings. I have not checked if you are active as an editor on commons as well, but if you are (or maybe this would be a reason to get started) I have a request: Please also add the template for a listed building with its number to the picture in question. You find an example of that template at commons:St Michael and All Angels Church - geograph.org.uk - 376117.jpg. That would make the time you spend searching for these pictures extra worthwhile.

First, thank you for your helpful edits!

Second, I am amazed at your patience with your detractors above. I give them a cussing, then delete them.

Third, if we use British English, should we spell out her middle name, drop the period, or drop the initial altogether?

Fourth, I had no idea this morning how interesting she was, I was just filling in some Scouting redlinks. Turns out she's notable in at least 3 ways, and pivotal to the movement. You up for trying for the mainpage "Did you know...?" section?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:27, 11 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your comments.


 * Name; what form is she most known by? I would favour "Nesta Maude Ashworth" which is the name on her autobiography.


 * I would hope to improve it further but, at the moment, I am unsure if we could find sufficient reliable sources for a DYK? The same would go for her friend Rotha who led an even "more colourful" life.

Dear Nedrutland,

I would like to inform you that I have made some (much needed changes) on the awful article "Controversies surrounding Robert Falcon Scott". (The article is still full of overbearing POV claims and personal attacks) As I will probably not be available the next couple of days to look after these edits, could you take over this (small) duty?

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 2.24.81.144 (talk) 19:46, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Clarendon Park Road
Thanks for your work @ Belvoir Street Chapel and Central Baptist Church (Leicester). Wonder if you might have any insight into question at Talk:List of Baptist churches in Leicester about Clarendon Park Road religious buildings, of which there are many. Specifically: Could it be that Clarendon Hall/Clarendon Park Baptist Church (1892/1894-1992) and the Guru Amar Das Gurdwara (1992) @ 219-227 Clarendon Park Road are one & same building? The dates jibe and sources seem to suggest it. (Not to be confused with Christchurch Clarendon Park @ 105A Clarendon Park Road or Clarendon Park Congregational Church). Thanks for your help.

Hey
Thanks for your work on JH, and I'll always remember your help with Lionel. EEng 18:36, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Repeating the above now, even more forcefully. Let me say, however, that we need to take great care in the selection of sources. What was "known" about JH until the late 19th c was extremely patchy and often completely wrong. In the late 1800s serious work began, starting with good genealogical work back in England to reconstruct the family history, and anything that can be relied on about JH will be in found in works from about 1880 or 1890 forward; anything before that is suspect e.g. Savage 1860. I'm afraid I don't have time right now to list the solidly reliable scholarly sources but if you ping me once in a while I'll get to it. This isn't to say you shouldn't keep doing exactly what you're doing, but be sure to cite everything carefully to the source you found it in so we can double-check later.

Matthew Flinders
Hi Nedrutland, I've reverted your edit to Matthew Flinders - perhaps you should have read the article on Bungaree first, for his role in the expedition (Despite the lack of a common language, the indigenous people persistently sought Bungaree out to speak to instead of Flinders. And his mediation skills were greatly appreciated by the Europeans with whom he shared the ship.), as well as taking a look at this very recent article on James Cook - The forgotten story of Tupaia, the star navigator who helped James Cook reach Australia - which emphasises the similar dependence by Cook on the Polynesian navigator and negotiator who accompanied him. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 12:54, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I had seen the page on Bungaree and I still considered the mention of him in the lede to be undue. The lede is a summary of the content of the page and Bungaree is mentioned just once on Flinders page; the sentence reads "Here he was rejoined by Bungaree, the Aboriginal man who had accompanied him on his earlier coastal survey in 1799." Only three others are mentioned by name in the lede and there is more on those men and their significance. (Oh, and Tupaia is not mentioned in the lede of James Cook and his name appears twice on the rest of the page.) Nedrutland (talk) 14:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

I tried to edit the lede with emphasis on why her long-standing membership of the Communist Party is noteworthy, but you closed me down. As others have experienced before me. And now you wokes are trying to delete the page on Communist mass killings. And arguing over whether the deaths of 6 people at the Waukesha Christmas Parade was a "car crash" or an "incident" - echoing the Washington Post's coverage that the deaths were "caused by a SUV" that "drove" into the crowd.

Jamie Wallis
My revert was not aimed at your edit but the previous two by blocked editors. However, looking again, it's clear that I misread the dates that all three were made at the same time. So my apologies - speed read leads to hasty error! But please allow me to explain my thinking at the time, mistaken as I was. The way they were done made it very difficult to see what was happening, and the editing and moving of the sentences on academic study was especially worrying, i.e.:


 * OLD: Wallis has a doctorate in astrobiology from the University of Cardiff, supervised by Chandra Wickramasinghe and focusing on evidence for cometary panspermia. The degree was awarded in 2014, though Wickramasinghe had left the university in 2011.


 * NEW: In 2014, Wallis was awarded a doctorate in astrobiology from the University of Cardiff, focusing on evidence for cometary panspermia.

Why was the Private Eye reference to Wickramasinghe removed? PE throught this important (otherwise, why even mention it?) But the moving of this paragraph (in itself, not a problem) made seeing what happened in other paragraphs especially difficult to follow. That's why I reverted, in the hope that a clearer and plainer process would make it easy to see. I gave as a rationale "there appears to have been a good deal of whitewashing going on womewhere[sic]" and while that was a possibilty it seemed simpler just to revert the lot. I notice that there have been other edits since which make things clearer. Apologies again. Emeraude (talk) 13:59, 20 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response, . I had looked at the page in the expectation of there being some lively editing on a day when the Daily Fail was reporting his interface with a post (later confirmed by a Reliable Source) and found the page a mess so started a process of tidying.


 * The name Wickramasinghe meant nothing to me but I would not expect a post-grad's supervisor to be considered generally worthy of mention, particularly when he was only there at the start of the course. And I did not suppose the Private Eye would be considered a Reliable Source for a BLP. Nedrutland (talk) 15:06, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm pleased to say I didn't see that in the Mail, but it was in the BBC News website last night. I think Private Eye was questioning how someone who left three years previously could have supervised a thesis! And not just a postgrad thesis, but a doctoral dissertation, would normally be someone of more notability. The Eye is a RS. Unfortunately, it is impossible to easily access the archive.

I refer you to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, (plus a couple of typos), in the parting comments on my Talk Page to 'Girth Summit': relief. Heath St John (talk) 11:58, 4 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Meh. This time last year you were congratulating me on my good character, which was apparently unusual amongst admins. At the end of the day, if users engage in edit warring to crowbar poor-quality content into our articles, they get warned. This regardless of how many edits they've made, how many good articles they've written, or how far their trouser legs are rolled up. Nobody is kicking you out the door, but if you want to edit here you have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

Mahomet Thomas Phillips
I note that you are a regular editor of Mahomet's page and one of your recent edits lists as dubious his war record. This is corroborated by theForces War Records online as well as information held by the family.https://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/namesearch/?FirstName=Mahomet%20Thomas&Surname=Phillips&RecordType=NotSelected&RecordDateStartYear=1700&RecordDateEndYear=2022&EnableUnit=False&SurvivedActiveService=False&DiedInActiveService=False&EnableNationality=False&ReceivedGallantryAward=False&MentionedInDespatches=False&Page=1&SortColumn=noColumn&SortOrder=noOrder

Title of living person: Stephen Sizer
Hello. Just a quick note: I noticed you recently changed the article on John Walvoord‎ to change the title of a referenced, living person: Stephen Sizer. This was a minor change of his title from "Vicar" to "Priest." However, I'm noticing in the linked references for Sizer he is a retired "Vicar." Is there another reason for keeping his title listed as "Priest" or should it be changed back (and on his WP page)? Thanks FCGreg (talk) 08:32, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Vicar, along with canon, rector, curate, chaplain et al. is just one of the many roles an Anglican priest may fill. Sizer is an ex-vicar, ex-rector and ex-curate but is still a priest. Nedrutland (talk) 08:34, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * OK thanks for the clarification then. FCGreg (talk) 08:51, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Battle of France Changes
Hello, I have noticed you have reverted my fixing of 22 accounts of the misspelling of the word "percent" on the Battle of France page. I would like to know why. DasLiedVomTod (talk) 18:04, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Because,, as my edit summary indicated, the article is written in the form of English used in Britain; thus, it is wrong to claim that 'percent' was 'mispelled'. In UK English (and in Latin) 'percent' is not one word but two. Nedrutland (talk) 21:13, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

BLP sources
Hallo, Please remember to add a source when adding someone's full name. I reverted your edit to Liz Jarvis because there was no source for "Elizabeth" and you might have just been assuming that she was given that name at birth, rather than "Elisabeth" or "Eliza" etc. I then found a WP:RS and replaced it. I see you've worked on a few other MPs' names: please add your source to those. Thanks. Pam D  07:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
