Infobox name

[edit]

GiantSnowman - time to discuss. This article passed its GA assessment with Fryatt's full name in the infobox. I see no good reason to omit it, it's there in the lede and should be there in the infobox. Mjroots (talk) 11:42, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But it is in the inbox? It just simply isn't the title. GiantSnowman 11:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: Your edit changed the name displayed above the photograph in the infobox from "Charles Algernon Fryatt" to "Charles Fryatt". It passed GA with the former. Mjroots (talk) 11:52, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
...your point being what? That the GA process is entirely infallible? GiantSnowman 14:02, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My point being that (IMvHO) the infobox looks better with his full name displayed above the photograph. Mjroots (talk) 16:18, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But that is not standard. Oh and based on these edits by @Thats Just Great:, this article also passed GA with a wrong date in the article... GiantSnowman 16:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It passed with the date given in the quoted source, the Great Eastern Railway Magazine. Mjroots (talk) 18:38, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What is the Great Eastern Railway Magazine? Seems to be a dead link. In the Way Back Machine though it says "On the night, June 22/23, 1916 with refugees on board and cargo of foodstuffs, the 'Brussels' left the Hook of Holland. Two days later she was heard of as captured and taken into Zeebrugge." I think this is where the confusion lies. As it says the ship left Holland on the evening of July 22 morning of 23 and nothing was heard of its fate until 2 days later, June 25. The other sources tell us that the ship left the night of June 22nd. Early morning of the 23rd it was captured, entering a Belgian port and then two days later, June 25, the news made it back to the UK. -- Thats Just Great (talk) 23:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great Eastern Railway Magazine

[edit]

Right now Great Eastern Railway Magazine is just a dead link.-- Thats Just Great (talk) 23:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC) I propose the following cite format:[reply]
