Sir John Shelley, 1st Baronet

[edit]

Don't mean to be rude, but the article seems poorly constructed. Maybe you can review your work and improve it?? Regards. Govvy (talk) 12:25, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Been meaning to add something to it, will see if I can improve the article ~~~~ ByTheDarkBlueSea (talk) 11:53, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jane Shore

[edit]

You said "Thomas Lynom, President of Wales, was Jane Shore's husband." There has never been a "President" of Wales. RGCorris (talk) 11:55, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was a President of the Council of Wales and the Marches, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Wales_and_the_Marches. ByTheDarkBlueSea (talk) 13:06, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A rather different title to that of "President of Wales". I also note that Thomas Lynom is not included in the list of Presidents of the Council. RGCorris (talk) 13:25, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do agree that it is different. For the muddling of the title, William Hake, who probably erected the epitaph, is most likely to blame. Several sources write of Thomas Lynom's involvement in the Council of Wales and the Marches, see for instance Moreana here: https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/full/10.3366/more.2022.0118. What is more significant is that he [Lynom] was at Lichfield in May, 1492, and this is a first sign that he was associated with the service of Arthur, prince of Wales, and of the Council in the Marches of Wales, which had been operating at least since March, 1490, soon after Arthur’s creation as prince. [...] In 1510, 1512, and 1513 Thomas Lynom was a justice of oyer and terminer in the Marches of Wales. [...] Thomas Lynom was a commissioner of the peace again in May, 1518 in North and South Wales, and in the Marches, Cheshire and Flintshire, and Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Shropshire, alongside the other members of the Marcher Council.58 But this was his last appearance in that role, and probably sometime between the May 1 date of that commission and early July he died. On July 6, 1518 a grant was made to Richard Pole, yeoman usher of the chamber, of land in Sutton upon Derwent in Yorkshire, which had been granted previously to Thomas Lynom, now deceased. This property was described as “formerly belonging to one Cathwaite,” and this identifies it with the land in Sutton which had been granted to Thomas Lynom, commissioner in the Marches, in August, 1516 as a “messuage called Cathwayte.” It is very likely therefore that Elizabeth Shore’s husband died early in 1518. Thomas Lynom was a justice of oyer and terminer in the Marches of Wales, and does not appear to have been the President of the Council of Wales and the Marches. There does, however, appear to be little doubt that it is this Thomas Lynom which is meant in the inscription. ByTheDarkBlueSea (talk) 13:44, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Which "inscription" or "epitaph" are you referring to, and what precisely does it say ? RGCorris (talk) 14:34, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I found it in the Jane Shore article and clarified the meaning. RGCorris (talk) 14:42, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's great, thank you. That was much better, I agree. ByTheDarkBlueSea (talk) 15:18, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Geneaology

[edit]

Hello. Remember, that wikipedia is not a genealogical database. With the exception of royal people, it is not necessary to provide all the family members of each person with an article here. Parents, spouse and the number of children is sufficient - children are otherwise only mentioned when they have their own article. Please remember that, and avoid edit warring or else you can be blocked from editing an article. Thank you, and good luck.--Aciram (talk) 14:19, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please address this on the talk page of the article. Please do not address me on my talk page any more. ByTheDarkBlueSea (talk) 14:21, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Frances Murfyn

[edit]

Hi ByTheDarkBlueSea, There is no known portrait of the wife of Sir Richard Williams alias Cromwell. Please note that portraits are identified by art historians after meticulous research. I have removed Portrait of a Lady, probably a Member of the Cromwell Family, c. 1535–40 by Hans Holbein the Younger from Richard Williams (alias Cromwell) as it was misleading. The lady has been identified by art historian, Roy Strong as probably Elizabeth Seymour.
Toledo Museum of Art: "Portrait of a Lady, probably a Member of the Cromwell Family, c. 1535-40, Hans Holbein the Younger". Toledo Museum of Art. Toledo, Ohio. Retrieved 25 March 2020. "The painting belonged to the Cromwells for centuries, so she was probably a member of that prominent family. It has been suggested that she may be Elizabeth Seymour, daughter-in-law of Henry's powerful government minister Thomas Cromwell and sister of Henry's third wife, Jane Seymour."
National Portrait Gallery, London: "Unknown woman, formerly known as Catherine Howard, late 17th century". National Portrait Gallery. London. Retrieved 26 March 2020. "This portrait was previously identified as Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII. The sitter is now thought to be a member of the Cromwell family, perhaps Elizabeth Seymour (c.1518–1568), sister of Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour, and wife of Thomas Cromwell's son Gregory." Ammelida (talk) 08:07, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ammelida. That was over 50 years ago. WP:AGEMATTERS. And if you read what Strong writes, he only eliminates Frances Murfyn as the sitter because he errouneously believe she and Sir Richard were married in 1518, going by a wrong source (Noble). In fact, it was Frances's parents that were married that year, putting her in precisely the right age range to be the lady in the portrait. The Portrait is called Portrait of a Lady, probably a Member of the Cromwell Family. Frances Murfyn was a lady and a member of the Cromwell family of exactly the right age of the sitter in the portrait. ByTheDarkBlueSea (talk) 08:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Your reason here How in the world am I a sock puppet? You can check my IP address, I am not editing from any other account, nor anymonously

Decline reason:

Well that's how it works with CU, but you know that. Fortunately one can be blocked as a sock without CU evidence; in this case, your edits on Streatham portrait are as strong a match. Drmies (talk) 01:36, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Your reason here What is CU? What are your talking about? Because my edits are similar too or because I thought someone else's edits are good and restored them you think I am sockpuppet? I am not the IP address that edited the Streatham Portrait last summer. You can check. I merely thought they were right

Decline reason:

There's an extreme overlap in edits between the two accounts. See here. I'm not convinced this is purely coincidence. Yamla (talk) 09:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Thank you for courteous reply. All right, so this doesn't have anything to do with the edit from this summer, but that you think I am the same as this other user. Okay. That is less than thirty pages of the 268 on my watchlist. I have common interests with many users, I am sure that you will see many of us cropping up on the same pages. Just try the latest ones who have edited the same pages as me, and I am sure in many cases you will see the same if not even more results. I do have a habit of going back on a page's history to see if anything worthwhile has been removed, which might be a flaw I can work on. It has just been my experience that often time some user or another will mess with a page making it muddled. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_de_Vere,_16th_Earl_of_Oxford&action=history, where somebody probably in good faith (?) had made a mess, which then persisted even though many good editors had made good edits afterwards. So I always do a check if something looks weird to check that nothing of the sort has happened (references out of whack, years changed randomly, etc. (hilarious to change 1593 to 1596 just to make a mess) etc. Hi again! I just thought of another thing. This other user writes much more elegantly than me. Why I prefer to recover neat things other people have written like mentioned above (and below) and quote. I think I have used much more quotes than the other user. Plus, the other user wrote in a genuinely entertaining way and I am not sure I do at all. When I read through my own contributions they have a very different flair.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action, or you have not responded to questions raised during that time. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Come on. This edit is identical to this edit, and both accounts have this odd fascination with genealogical data and people's children. Drmies (talk) 15:57, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "He married first Dorothy Neville, daughter of Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland in Holywell, Shoreditch, London on 3 July 1536, and second Margery Golding in Belchamp St Paul on 1 August 1548.[13] Dorothy Neville (died c. 6 January 1548),[14] His two marriages produced three children. With his first wife, Dorothy, he had Katherine de Vere, who married Edward Windsor, 3rd Baron Windsor. With Margery he had a son, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, and a daughter, Mary de Vere. Margery died on 2 December 1568. After his death in Oxford, he was buried in Castle Hedingham, Essex, on 31 August 1562." (I split it in two.)

Request reason:

I can only ask again to be unblocked. I think have the "a bit more" from the Sims community. If you google the phrase "added a bit more information" you will see that it pops in posts from the programming community in the early 2010s. It is possible that both the other user and I were active in this community in that period. A lot of people were. If I then saw another Wikipedia user also using that phrase, I would probably have easily started using it myself. Or I may have started using it independently. Honestly, I do not remember. I have tried using the arrow symbol → and which section I have edited, but it was so much hassle in comparison. Plus, on one of the computers I use for editing, the phrase "Added a bit more information" is the first one that crops up when I edit something and go to the summary, because on that computer all of the edit summaries I have used are listed alphabetically, so that is the reason why I have used it so many times.

Decline reason:

The simplest explanation is often the correct one. We have walls of text here trying to explain away the significant overlap in topic (and sub-topics), articles, edits and edit summaries between your account and BeatriceCastle. Given the timing of the creation of this account, the overlap in articles, and the restoration and/or use of verbatim sources (example 1 example 2), I believe it is more likely than not that you're the same individual and am declining your appeal.

Hi, I am not sure what I did wrong on my last unblock request, because it doesn't appear to have been reviewed yet. I am sorry for whatever I did wrong on my last request, as that appears not to have been reviewed yet. To whomever is reading this, could you please look at the recent edits on:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Howard_(died_1437)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Howard,_2nd_Duke_of_Norfolk

I hesitate to say that they are not good faith edits, but I think they should be looked on to see if the community thinks they are improvements on the articles. I can unfortunately not do this myself at the moment. Thank you so much.

I've converted your unblock request into a comment; you may have only one unblock request at a time. Although, I've let the comment stand, you should not be asking other users to look at edits while you're blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:22, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All right, thank you. I won't do that again. Sorry. I didn't know that. ByTheDarkBlueSea (talk) 22:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
