A useful tip about citing from Trove
I notice in St Mary's Cathedral, Hobart that you added a citation to a newspaper article in Trove so I thought you might like to know that there is a really easy way to do this (less work than you did and with a better result). When you are looking at that newspaper article in Trove, look over on the left-hand tool bar and you will see an icon of an "i" in a circle. If you click on that, you will open a popup with a number of ways to cite the newspaper article. If you scroll down to the bottom of that list, you will see the heading "Wikipedia citation". Below it is the Wikipedia citation, which looks like this:

Copy that citation (don't worry if you haven't a clue what it means). Now in the Visual Editor, use Cite > Manual > Basic and just paste that copied citation into the box and click Insert. Magic then happens and you will have a beautiful citation. If you copy a Trove URL from the address bar of your browser (as you did), it is not guaranteed to persistent, whereas the URL in the citation provided is guaranteed persistent. So using the citation provided is both easier and better quality. Note it is not just the newspapers in Trove that have the Wikipedia citation. If you look at other things in Trove like books, maps, journals, photos etc, you will see a "Cite This" button which produces citations in the same way. (Tip. If you are looking at books and you can't see the Cite This button, then it means there are multiple editions, so you have to pick a particular edition and then you will see the Cite This button. I hope this helps you make citations more easily. If you need any other help, please ask me by writing on my user talk page (click that link to do so). Kerry (talk) 23:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

HMS Lady Nelson (1798)
Hi RobynHobart, do you have a citation for the identification of the seaman picked up at Capetown as Jorgen Jorgenson? It would be nice to be able to add that in. Cheers, Acad Ronin (talk) 10:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
