Dear Tcstainedglass, Hi. A welcome (back) to wikipedia. I notice you have made a big addition to our little article on Trena Cox. My guess is you have added a lot of accurate information but I am not sure if it is all needed or whether the style is right. It reads to me like you have done some valuable research and are reporting it here. I am no-one important and just mentioning it and letting you know in case you would like to have another look at what you have written and perhaps change the tone slightly and add some supporting references. I'll perhaps pop back to the page in a bit and have a go at tidying it - but feel free to revert me if you wish. Is this all in Jones 2012? Anyway feel free to ignore this and thanks. Best wishes.

I have no idea how Talk works, and can not find a way to reply! Thank you for your interest. Tcstainedglass (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

No worries - Talkback is a bit tricky. You can just write here. I think I will have a go at tidying your stuff later. I think I will move it all to the article's talk page and then add bits back from there. (If anyone deletes it in the mean time don't worry it is all in "history" and can be recovered) I will use Jones from here http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/trena-cox/trena-cox.htm which I guess is the same as the source cited. Feel free to let me know what errors I make .... and ask anything here you need help with. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 15:16, 8 December 2013 (UTC))

Thank you. The Trena Cox entry is the only Wikipedia entry that I have tried to add to. I am frustrated, because there are several old references out there with little bits of information on Trena Cox that are wrong. The problem is that these errors are perpetuated, even in recent literature. The builingconservation article and Wikipedia piece about Trena Cox have been out there to see for a year, but still old errors have been repeated since then. Somehow, there needs to be emphasis to say that what is right, what is wrong. That is what I have tried to do. Thank you for any help that you can give and I am sorry to cause you any trouble!

I have had another look at my text and edited it slightly, moving the date of death into the main body of the text. In theory, the last three paragraphs could be deleted and I assume this is the "style" you did not like. However, I put them there to provide evidence for the conclusions in the text above - to show that this is correct. It is the only way that I can think of to try and demonstrate that the information in this article is correct. I am loathe to just delete it all. Tcstainedglass (talk) 18:31, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

I have just looked at the Trena Cox entry - neat! The information is all still there, if not transparently so. Thank you for your help. Tcstainedglass (talk) 18:09, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
