It wasn't a real welcome. Is this better?
Welcome!

I don't know who Capt is, and he doesn't have a Wikipedia article. I see that he's a British Israelite, which rings alarm bells for me, since many such adherents have self-published sources. But be bold, and see what the community accepts. StAnselm (talk) 13:38, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Request for advice re. proposed creation of Wiki page.
[edit]Hi there, Caradoc (or Caractacus, as the Romans would have called you). Exploring Wikipedia's avenues for creating a page, I discovered you. Recently, I acquired from a charity shop in Wigan, England (which is where I live) the following gem of a book: "A New History of England and Great Britain" by one J.M.D. Meiklejohn, M.A., 21st edition, 1905. I tried to find out more about him online, but was unsuccessful, so I'm thinking about creating a Wiki page with the sparse information I have (which comes from the above book), in the hope that others will contribute to it. By the way, the above Caractacus info comes from the book: "After seven years of hard fighting, the leader of the Britons, Caradoc (in its Latin form, Caractacus) was defeated and sent in chains to Rome." A footnote reads thus: "He was the chieftain of the Silures, the tribe which lived in South Wales." I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes from: Frank Howard, aged seventy-two and five sixths, retired teacher of English to Spaniards. yosemitefrank@yahoo.co.uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hngdrnqutd (talk • contribs) 00:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Stopford A. Brooke.
[edit]Thank you, Caradoc. Yes, I will start a page on Brooke. Best regards, Frank. Hngdrnqutd (talk) 18:37, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Les Anglais and The Frisians
[edit]I used a French phrase because it preserves part if not all of an older spelling for The English. I have read somewhere that before the English arrived on the island that the English and the Frisians had identical languages and that they also recognised the same Gods and Goddesses. I came to believe that these two nations were parts of an older nation. I suspect that Frisians have seniority over the english because it seems clear that they bear a name in reference to Freyr and Freya where the English don't seem to have such a clear and early report of why they are called the English or Les Anglais.
