Thanks for adding to this - useful. I think it is still necessary to indicate the Wake family still occupy the property. Cj1340 09.45, 10 May 07 (GMT)
Hi, i like what you've done with the above article, I've written a couple on first world war generals myself. Just a quick note, 1) We try not to put a historical figure's military rank in the title of the article. I was going to move it, but if you know his middle name that would help (if he doesn't have one then I'll have to think about it). 2) You can't just quote The Times as a reference (see WP:CITE), you need the date and issue number of the newspaper in which the information appeared. Ultimately we need to know exactly which bits of information were gleaned from which source (see Samuel Lomax for an example). Good work, keep it up and have fun, if you need any help then let me know.--Jackyd101 12:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jackyd101, I agree about the military rank in the title, on this occasion I thought it necessary to differentiate between this Walter and the other nine Walters in the family (see here). He didn't have a middle name, and in all the media he was distinguished from his well-known father, also known as Walter Long till 1921, by using his rank. But if you think it better without, then by all means move it.
I have added the date and issue no. to the source, which is where all the info about his military career and death came from. Should I specify that in the source? Brograve 22:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi - I am currently translating this article into French (fr:John Vanbrugh) and am perplexed by this sentence: "Castle Howard, with its immense corridors in segmental colonnades leading from the main entrance block to the flanking wings..." which I believe you contributed to the article. Could you help by throwing some light on what those segmental colonnades are? -- Thanks CamsterE 12:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi CamsterE - Sorry I know nothing about this article, my only contribution was a typo correction. It was Epugh on 5 Aug 2004 who added the section in question. - Brograve 12:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Brograve
Thanks for showing interest in this subject. The source that I used quoted that Stubb mill was built along with Bograve mill and several others by Sir G B Brograve. And as I found on the Brograve Baronets page , Brograve mill was built by Sir Berney Brograve and so I concluded that he must have built Stubb as well. Not sure which information is correct. Any idea’s?
- P.S. With your user name, Do you have a connect to Brograve
Hi Stavros
Sorry I have no idea whether it was Sir George or his father Sir Berney Brograve who built the Stubb Mill. Maybe if you could find a construction date. Sir Berney (my ancestor) who died in 1797, was obsessed with draining his land, that may be a clue. Cheers Brograve (talk) 01:39, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Brograve
Information about Stubb mill is very scares, especially a precise date of construction. The best Norfolk county Council comes up is at the turn of the century (c1800) and as Sir Berney died in 1797 and the time that construction took in those days I would hazard a guess that Sir Berney probably ordered its construction. How cool is that to be an ancestor of one of Norfolk true characters! stavros1 ♣
Hi, after your removal of the category, I have rechecked my source and have discovered that indeed it was not Surrey, but Somerset (see [1]). My fault. Thanks for the pointer. ~~ Phoe talk ~~ 22:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 17:55, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm really confused now, but thanks for providing the source. As I understand, Firebrace was unseated in 1692, which makes the list of MPs for the Chippenham constituency inconsistent. It's difficult enough to find enough sources to put the picture together to make an interesting article, and historical sources of that age are perhaps open to interpretation, but if you would like to look at the chronology, I won't object. Cheers, and Happy Xmas. Rodhullandemu 00:43, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
- Meanwhile, the individual Brograve Baronets, particularly the second creation, could have their own articles, since Baronets are inherently notable here. Rodhullandemu 01:18, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Monkton House
[edit]Hello - I see you’ve not edited for a couple of years but, assuming you are still around, I’d be interested to discuss an issue around Monkton House, an article you largely wrote. We now have two Monkton House articles, the Wiltshire one and Monkton House, West Dean. I’m interested in exploring which, if either, could be considered the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. My own view is that the uniqueness of the Sussex Monkton - designed by Lutyens, re-constructed by Nicholson/Casson, made-over by Salvador Dalí, the only attempt ever made in England to design a Surrealist country house, and which once contained among the world’s finest collections of Surrealist art - tips the balance in favour of Sussex. But, I may have a bias! Thoughts? All the best. KJP1 (talk) 17:12, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with you about the Sussex house, due to its uniqueness. There are plenty of historic houses like Monkton House in Wiltshire. Cheers. Brograve (talk) 20:58, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
