Image squashed?

Does anyone know why the image (Image:Mrs. John Wood portrait.jpg) looks squashed in the article? It's thinner than it should be. But when you click on it, the enlarged photo from Commons looks fine. —Amcaja 21:42, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine here... 71.65.54.92 00:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be alright with Firefox 1.5, what browser do you use? --Lewk_of_Serthic 03:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Weird. Appears to be a Safari issue; it looks fine in Firefox for Macintosh. —Amcaja 13:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

simple math

1915 minus 1821 equals 94. How was she 81 when she died?

Removed quote

I removed this quote from an anonymous contributor: "An excerpt from Mary Ann Chadwell's diary dated 4th April 1877 records 'Went to the St James's Theatre to see "The Danischeff". Mrs John Wood is very pretty and was most becomingly dressed - the scenery and all the appointments beautiful, a pretty theatre and very clean.'" The editor did not cite his or her sources (was the diary itself used? the diary quoted in another work?), so there you go. — Amcaja 15:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from article to talk

the Strachur & district Local History Society has a scrapbook compiled by Helen Haseltine (Later Mrs Roger Plowden) in 1897. In an entry for Sept 29th & 30th 1897 she wrote, "Stayed with Mrs Mason in London. Went with her to see Mrs John Wood in White Heather”. It would appear from this evidence that the lady was still acting in 1897 despite the suggestion that she retired in 1893. Gjthomas (talk) 13:54, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
