Edward Fanshawe
I appreciate you are new to wikipedia and your contributions are welcome but please make sure as you add wikilinks and sources to each of the lines you add. Thanks in anticipation. Dormskirk (talk) 14:48, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm impressed by the mass of your contributions, but unfortunately I don't have the time to get too much into the Wiki thing, admirable as it is, and now also see how easy it is to have one's time trying to assist wasted by those who clearly do. You have my willing consent to use the information provided (which includes the sources -the 1904 memoir and reference to the drawings) to improve your entry on Fanshawe in your own way. My amends at least suggest why it needs it: anyone sufficiently interested in him will find the good ODNB account- whose only significant lacuna is on his artistic talents (which is already in line for correction in due course)and the comprehensive treatment of these on the NMM site. Best wishes. PvdM 23:30 28 Aug 2010


 * Many thanks for that. There is no doubt that the material that you were trying to introduce was high quality material. I have therefore sought to weave much of your material into the article myself adding wikilinks and referencing it to the 1904 volume where appropriate. Please let me know if I have missed anything important in the process. Best Wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 09:40, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
