All of the above is boilerplate, though no less sincerly meant for that. The reason I am writing this now is because I am curious about your contributions to The Wodehouse, which I created a couple of months ago. You sound as if you have access to sources I have not seen; can you make this clearer in the article? I am fascinated by the family, the house, and the Strad, so whatever you can add to the jigsaw puzzle, within Wikipedia rules of verifiability, would be wonderful. You can respond here or on my talkpage. Thanks, and welcome! BrainyBabe (talk) 15:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- I only edit the odd wikipedia pages and don't want to get embroiled in too many technicalities. How to reorder footnotes looks a nightmare... I am very happy to collaborate to improve it.
- I made a few changes and I could improve this article quite a lot further. My web site Morganfurman.com is cited as a source. I prefer to disclose most of my 'family information' on my own site that I continue to work on - certainly as I can be much more speculative there. There are one or two public sources that could however be also usefully incorporated into the current article.
- Above all I made the changes to solicit a response from the author! I have succeeded.
- Ah, so you are that Morgan! Of course I used your site in researching for the Wodehouse. I'm not hugely into genealogy, but your site is a good one for the family history that you cover. Did you invent the structure yourself, or borrow it from a template?
- A couple of Wikipedia points: if you ever need to reach an editor, leave a message on their talkpage. And I've posted this below my first comment, as is standard and explained here; I wouldn't dream of moving yours, as this is your page!
- You mention reordering footnotes and also that you have other public sources. Could we continue this discussion more fruitfully on the article talkpage? I will await you there. BrainyBabe (talk) 17:08, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
