Shoobridge again
Hello, Peter and welcome! I ran across your Shoobridge article quite by chance, and thought it worth pausing to give it a wash and brush up to put it into standard Wikipedia form. He's certainly worth an article - after all The Times thought him worthy of an obit - q.e.d. I look forward to further contributions. At your service if I can help. - Tim riley (talk) 17:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Edward Maurice Ingram
Edward Maurice Ingram

Edward Maurice Berkeley Ingram (1890-1941), was the son of Edward Richard Berkeley Ingram (1850-95) Major, 2nd battalion, Welsh Regiment (41st Regiment), and Laura Maria Chennell Ingram (1850-1943), daughter of Thomas B and Anna Maria Chennell, of Tenterden, Kent.

Edward Maurice began his education at St David’s School, Reigate, Surrey (a boarding school). He went on to Eton College (1904-7), and Hubert Brinton's House from September 1904 until Easter 1909) and King's College, Cambridge (1909-13).

In 1914-18 he served as Captain on the General Staff at the War Office and obtained an OBE in 1918, after which he entered the Foreign Office and Diplomatic Service in 1919, where he acted as private secretary to Sir Arthur Steel Maitland & Sir Hamar Greenwood (when they were additional Parliamentary Under Secretaries for Foreign Affairs).

He served as Assistant Secretary to Lord Milner's mission to Egypt and Lord Milner's private Secretary, was appointed Second Secretary in 1920, First Secretary in 1924 and was posted to Oslo (previously known as Christiania) in 1925. In 1927, he transferred to the Foreign Office as Chief Clerk of the News Department. Between 1926 and 1934 Edward was chargé d'affaires in Berlin, then chargé d'affaires in the legation in Peking, and was appointed full Counsellor in Peking while resident in Shanghai & Nanjing (the latter place was where the Chinese Govt was resident).

He was awarded a CMG medal in 1934, and 1935-37 he was chargé d'affaires in Rome, after which he returned to the Foreign Office. In 1939 he joined the Ministry of Economic Warfare as diplomatic adviser, taking charge of the foreign relations side of the policy of blockade against Germany.

Edward was killed in 1941 by enemy action whilst fire watching 1941 at Curzon Street, Westminster during the German Blitz on London. An obituary appeared in The London Times and his Funeral was held at Albury Church, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, as well as a memorial service at St Margaret's Church, Westminster

In 1943, monies were invested to establish The Maurice Ingram Trust whose purposes were (1) “a boy or girl from the Albury School to help with books, clothing or fees on going to the secondary school” (2) assist with local Sunday school expenses (3) beautification of local church surrounds.

Drmies I am following up the help you gave me over three months ago (I am in no hurry). I wanted to make public an item about Edward Maurice Ingram. Your advice: ▪	I made a sandbox for y:ou, User:Peter71947/sandbox, and pasted in there what was on your talk page. I think you should have a close look at the edits User:Tim riley made to your other article; whatever they did you should consider doing for the Ingram article, especially when it comes to references. …12 October 2010 (UTC)

I have since then looked up how to prepare footnotes, and edited the Edward Ingram article in the Sandbox, so the footnotes appear correctly (I think). Now I want to make it public. The Wikipedia entry on ‘Your first article’ says “When the new article is ready for "prime time", you can move it into the main area.”

Can you tell me how to do this?

Thanks

 * You don't need to use a 'helpme' for this; it's better to put a quick short note on the users own talk page, to alert them to your reply. I'll post one for you.  Chzz  ► 01:04, 24 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello Peter. I had a look at the article, and it's a great improvement from what you had a few months ago. One potential issue is that almost all of the references are to primary sources, whereas Wikipedia articles work best when based on secondary sources. See WP:PRIMARY. I've made a few minor edits to the lead. If you choose to go live with it, use the "move" function to move it to article space--and I would move it to Edward Ingram (1890-1941), that seems to me to be the best title. You will see that other editors may add "wikify" or other tags, and maybe somebody will slap a "primary sources" tag on it; if so, follow the links on the template and see what you can do to improve. Drop me a line on my talk page if I can help. Thanks, and good luck with your second article, Drmies (talk) 20:36, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Drmies Thankyou. Here are some more questions. You say "use the "move" function to move it to article space--and I would move it to Edward Ingram (1890-1941),". Where is the "move" function? You responded to this request on my userpage, but suggest I should drop you a line on your talk page... Which is better for you? If it is your talk page, do I ask for help by editing our last exchange? I wanted to put a photo of Leonard Shoobridge on the (my first) Wikipedia page. I have prepared the photo to Wikipedia's specifications, but what next? There are two 'image' type icons at the top of the Edit window (both orange coloured landscapes in a frame). The first is 'Embedded file', the second is 'Picture gallery'. They both insert text in the file that uses the term 'File:example.jpg'. I thought they might let me insert a picture... I need hand holding...
