Hi. When you recently edited Giles Fletcher, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alderton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Quincunx, Browne, and Gosse
I see that you removed the Edmund Gosse source from the mention of Browne's work in the quincunx article. Since you don't like that one, can you please replace it with some other reliably-published secondary source that speaks about Browne's symbolic use of the quincunx pattern? I don't want to have entries in that section of the article that aren't properly sourced or that merely assert that an author uses the word without saying anything about why they used it. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Norwikian,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Layer Quaternity for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:GLORIA -Layer Quaternio (1).jpg


A tag has been placed on File:GLORIA -Layer Quaternio (1).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free image File:&#39;As the elephant laughed&#39; by Peter rodulfo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:&. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Ways to improve The Paston Treasure
Hi, I'm Mabalu. Norwikian, thanks for creating The Paston Treasure!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Nice article, interesting subject. I am concerned that some of the text is copied word-for-word from https://www.eastlife.co.uk/article/norfolks-top-artefacts-the-paston-treasure/ but could not identify any other specific copyvio. It would benefit from more citations and some more wikilinks to galleries and terms, and would be good to link it from other relevant pages too.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Great Bittern
Hi Norwikian: I've undone the change you made here to the Great Bittern article because you removed two references without adding replacements. (Saying "confirmed correct reference from Pseudodoxia Epidemica" without providing a full reference to it isn't really an acceptable change. And you removed a second reference completely.) If you can provide more appropriate full references, please do so! (Pseudoxia Epidemica doesn't say anything about Browne having a bittern, so removing the reference for that wasn't appropriate.) Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, MeegsC (talk) 20:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Primary sources more relevant to an encyclopaedia not secondary
The contents of Pseudodoxia Epidemica (N.B. note correct spelling of the word 'Pseudodoxia') most certainly do say about Browne having a bittern ! All other sources are what is known technically by academics as secondary sources, that is, deriving from this primary statement which can be found in Pseudodoxia Epidemica Book 3 chapter 27.

'That a Bittor maketh that mugient noise, or as we term it Bumping, by putting its bill into a reed as most believe, or as Bellonius and Aldrovandus conceive, by putting the same in water or mud, and after a while retaining the air by suddenly excluding it again, is not so easily made out. For my own part, though after diligent enquiry, I could never behold them in this motion; Notwithstanding by others whose observations we have expressly requested, we are informed, that some have beheld them making this noise on the shore, their bils being far enough removed from reed or water; that is, first strongly attracting the air, and unto a manifest distention of the neck, and presently after with great contention and violence excluding the same again. As for what Authors affirm of putting their bill in water or mud, it is also hard to make out. For what may be observed from any that walketh the Fens, there is little intermission, nor any observable pawse, between the drawing in and sending forth of their breath. And the expiration or breathing forth doth not only produce a noise, but the inspiration or hailing in of the air, affordeth a sound that may be heard almost a flight-shot.

Now the reason of this strange and peculiar noise, is deduced from the conformation of the wind-pipe, which in this bird is different from other volatiles. For at the upper extream it hath no fit Larinx, or throttle to qualify the sound, and at the other end, by two branches deriveth it self into the lungs. Which division consisteth only of Semicircular fibers, and such as attain but half way round the part; By which formation they are dilatable into larger capacities, and are able to contain a fuller proportion of air; which being with violence sent up the weazon, and finding no resistance by the Larinx, it issueth forth in a sound like that from caverns, and such as sometimes subterraneous eruptions, from hollow rocks afford.[19] As Aristotle observeth in a Problem, and is observable in pitchers, bottles, and that instrument which Aponensis upon that Problem describeth, wherewith in Aristotles time Gardiners affrighted birds.

Whether the large perforations of the extremities of the weazon, in the abdomen, admitting large quantity of ayr within the cavity of its membrans, as it doth in Frogs; may not much assist this mugiency or boation, may also be considered. For such as have beheld them making this noise out of the water, observe a large distention in their bodies; and their ordinary note is but like that of a Raven.

It is therefore totally unnecessary to cite W.G. Sebald as the above is his source. Norwikian (talk) 09:10, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's great! Thanks for updating. I'll remove the Sebald reference, as it's now causing a big red error message at the bottome of the page. MeegsC (talk) 10:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Maintenance of Norwich and Norfolk related articles
Hello there! I noticed you have created a few articles related to Norwich (The Layer Monument among others) and I was just letting you know about short descriptions related to these pages. I recently finished adding a short description to all pages in Category:Norwich, so, if you create anymore pages, it would be a kind favour if you were to add a short description to it - it only takes 10 seconds or so! If you haven’t already, you might like to enable the ShortDesc Helper at the gadgets menu in your preferences. I also have realised that articles related to Norwich and Norfolk aren’t that well maintained, so it would be great if you could add short descs to any of these articles you may come across just for general maintenance and to improve the quality of Norwich and Norfolk related articles. If you would like to help, more info can be found at WikiProject Short descriptions. Regards, Willbb234 (talk) 17:44, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
