Reid dates
Hallo, You've got Lavinia marrying at age 11: is that right? I don't think I have access to BNA, neither through Wikipedia nor my public library, so can't check your sources. Pam D  11:59, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll check it - probably a typo . You can access the newspapers if you've got a Leeds Central Library ticket (Leeds Libraries resources are here but you will need your ticket number). Different URL but you can do a search with the info I've given. I'm dealing with a guest right now but will check the above asap. Storye book (talk) 13:29, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * . I have checked the sources, and added quotes to the citations. You will see that almost certainly the sources have got the date of marriage wrong, rather than the date of her death or her age at death. The date of marriage appears in a Charles Reid obituary of 1901, and copies of that obit, using the same wording, appear in other newspapers. I have found no other newspaper report giving information different from what I have put in the article. So I believe that the 1840 is wrong. She had only one child, born 1848. If her marriage had been around 1846 or 1847 she would have been about 17 or 18, which was OK for those days. I have searched for a marriage around that time in the England/Wales index, but there is none for that couple. I shall look in Ancestry next, but they had foreign connections - they could have married in Jamaica, so I may not be able to check it. Storye book (talk) 16:16, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Update. Got it. The answer was in Ancestry, and all identity details tally, including the location of marriage being fairly close to where Reid shot the tiger and Lavinia's birth date of 1829, so I trust the source. However I had to upgrade my Ancestry membership to get that info, so please be nice to me ;-). Cheers. Storye book (talk) 16:38, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Well done! I've updated the infobox too. Pam D  16:44, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Jolly good. Storye book (talk) 16:46, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Typo

 * "But his was not a sefish taste" Really? Shenme (talk) 01:36, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I have corrected the typo. I have developing glaucoma. I am a fast touch-typist (that means I can type without looking at the keyboard), but I have to copyedit articles and edit photographs with my eyes two inches from the screen. Missing typos is to be expected. So please be patient, and please be aware that there are probably many editors here who cannot easily read a monitor screen. Thank you.

August harvest. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:11, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Cut and paste moves
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:Storye book/editing/Sandbox 69 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Thomas Holroyd. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

The same also applies to William John Seward Webber, but I won't give you another identical template. PCN02WPS ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 22:06, 17 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Your response puzzles me. I have created and published over a hundred articles in that way, over 17 years as a registered user. I have always been honest about the cutting and pasting when nominating articles on DYK, so it has been a known fact, there. I am puzzled because if that is a legal requirement, and there is a rule that says I am obliged to do this and have no choice, why has no-one told me this before, in 17 years?
 * It so happens that I have carefully saved many of the more recent userpage article creations on separate, labelled subpages. But many of the earlier ones got over-written, and it would be difficult to locate them and make a seamless join to the existing page - for example, PS Medway Queen (2004), which has been moved at least once since being published, and I have no idea where the original article creation might be. Also, how am I going to persuade administrators to find and seamlessly join over 100 article histories for me?
 * To cut a long story short I have a severe bone condition whose expected imminent deterioration means that in 2022 I expect to break many bones, be unable to work at my PC or even die next year. How am I expected to organise and monitor all that article history business? At the moment I am trying desperately to complete and publish the remaining partial articles which I have started in userspace, while I can still sit at the PC. I will need all the time that I have left to do that. There must be a lot of editors on WP who are the same sort of position. I don't think that you can unilaterally demand that any editor complete such a huge task. If you seriously want this job done, you are going to have to make all those move applications and monitor it all, yourself. People like me can get stopped by a broken vertebra etc. at any time. I can continue to edit as long as I can, but I cannot be expected to suddenly make commitments like that. Storye book (talk) 09:16, 18 November 2021 (UTC)


 * It appears I've misunderstood the issue, my comment has been rescinded. Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for all the work you've done. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 14:46, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
