Rodney Harvey

[edit]

Hi. I have reverted your edit to the Rodney Harvey article yet again because you keep removing the word "tragically" from the cite video template without giving an explanation as to why. I am assuming you have removed the word because it is POV in nature, but the word itself is not featured in the article to describe anything and as far as I know, we should not alter the names of sources to omit words even if they do not belong in the encyclopedia. If you have further issue with this, please let me know on my talk page or open up a discussion on the article talk page. Thanks. Pinkadelica 05:48, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:HMS Defence.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:HMS Defence.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Magog the Ogre (talk) 18:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just posting this here because it seems like the sort of thing you'd know about, or be interested in. I posted as well to Wikiproject Peerage and Baronetage, and to the talk page of the article.

A few weeks ago, just as part of random work, I had posted on the talk page about some questionable claims about this title being recognized by the Irish government. As the Knight has regrettably passed away yesterday, and he is, as I understand it, the last of his line, the last Black Knight, it would be lovely if the article could be improved.

I don't know the rules of succession for these unusual traditional knighthoods ("created by the Earls of Desmond, acting as Earls Palatine, for their kinsmen"), but sources seem to suggest that it won't pass to some other branch of the family, though surely after 29 generations such branches do exist.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 14:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Poll on ArbCom resolution - Ireland article names

[edit]

There is a poll taking place here on whether or not to extend the ArbCom binding resolution, which says there may be no page move discussions for Ireland,Republic of Ireland or Ireland (disambiguation), for a further two years. Fmph (talk) 21:31, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kitty, I noticed that you moved this page to its current title today. I'm concerned that the new title represents a breach of WP:BLP and WP:NPOV. The article contains only one, two-sentence paragraph concerning his fraud conviction, and devotes most of its bulk to his work as a property developer; the sources in the article also suggests that this (together with his hedonistic lifestyle) is the activity for which he is best-known. I strongly support moving it back, and have started a discussion on the talkpage to address the issue. Cheers, Yunshui (talk) 13:16, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to maybe join the discussion before arbitrarily relocating the article back to a POV title? Yunshui (talk) 14:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have started a discussion at Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 14:16, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't you perhaps paraphrasing what he actually said? He doesn't disagree with me because he hasn't discussed whether the sources support the content. He just doesn't like the content. Which is a very valid POV. Fmph (talk) 07:07, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Baroness Trumpington Jewish?

[edit]

Hello. You added a [[Category:English Jews]] entry to the Jean Barker, Baroness Trumpington article on 7 February 2007. Someone has just removed that category. I did not restore it because I know nothing about her beliefs. Can you provide a citation to show she is Jewish? — O'Dea (talk) 21:59, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it is correct; I will look for a citation. The Lord King stuff is trivia at best and fails BLP. Kittybrewster 11:21, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing at the Desert Island Discs citation you have given to support the proposition that Trumpington is an English Jew, as the category addition claims. — O'Dea (talk) 19:33, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was listening on 25 Nov 1990. Kittybrewster 21:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia needs a proper citation. Your 21-year-old personal witness falls under the heading of original research which is forbidden by Wikipedia. I have found nothing online to indicate that the Baroness is Jewish. Can you provide a valid citation, please? — O'Dea (talk) 16:44, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Normally, audio sources that have been broadcast by a reputable organisation are fine per Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. You should provide date of transmission and other relevant details in the reference. For a claim about a living person, some people will prefer a source that they can check more easily, e.g. online or in print, and that should be provided where possible. But it is not a requirement. If the broadcast version of the programme includes mention of their religion, in the tightly timed and even tighter edited environment of Desert Island Discs (they don't even play the "discs" in full), you can definitely assume it's significant in their life, either to the positive or negative. Kittybrewster 18:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But none of this can be confirmed. Anyone can claim anything at all about a broadcast from decades ago if no copy of the transmission is easily available for independent validation. I could just as easily claim I heard her say on Parkinson that she had converted to Buddhism, and stick a [[Category:English Buddhists]] in her article. — O'Dea (talk) 06:42, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why would you do that unless (1) it was true or (b) you are a vandal? Or I ... and me. WP:AGF. Incidentally she smokes too much but that is trivia and unencyclopedic. Once when she said Balls in the HofL, it appeared in Hansard as Nonsense. Kittybrewster 13:00, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Kittybrewster, I have no idea of the noble lady is Jewish or not (personally, I think all these religious tags are rather unnecessary), however, as Wikipedia seems to love them, if it must have them, they must at least be correct. It's extremely unlikely that the "Jewishness" comes from the Campbell-Harris side of the family, so I sugest you trace the Robson side - I say this because I did once know a "Robson" whose grandfather was once once a Robowizxyski from Poland (or something similar from somewhere similar). I do have to say, that I don't like this - if she is Jewish, she's certainly not making a great song and dance about it, so what business is it of yours? My American great grandmother (I am told) belonged to some very odd and strange religion - and is doubtless buring in Hell because of it as we speak, but it does not have much bearing on me - does it? Giacomo Returned 19:03, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
She is. But I take most of your points. I imagine it is more difficult to research Robson genealogy than that of certain others; I myself had a great aunt who was a Christian Scientist and died on refusing a blood transfusion. I am looking in Hansard for confirmation but it isnt worth much of my time Kittybrewster 10:05, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Kittybrewster, your last response is not very clear and you have wandered off the point. It is hard to assume good faith if you dodge the issue. I am not concerned by her smoking or swearing, but her religion, if any. Can you supply a robust citation or not? That is all I am asking. — O'Dea (talk) 23:38, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A segue. Not yet, but I will. Kittybrewster 10:10, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jean Barker, Baroness Trumpington

[edit]

I have removed the category "English Jews" from this article for a reason: it is unverified and unsourced. Please do not add it back again without providing a reliable reference. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.16.241 (talk) 05:57, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FreeBMD wikia?

[edit]

Kitty, may I ask what you were meaning by "FreeBMD wikia" in your reply to my post on the Irish genealogy query? I'm quite interested in family history and have a lot of contacts. --TammyMoet (talk) 19:10, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

freebmd.co.uk is terrific at providing certain info for BMD in England & Wales. Wouldn't it be great if there were a similar project which covered the records in Ireland before 1923? It would involve a lot of volunteers. Kittybrewster 19:54, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A baronet and a hereditary knight

[edit]

I'm fairly sure that Sir George FitzGerald (Knight of Kerry) is wrongly named (came across him while stub-sorting)... as a baronets geek perhaps you could sort him out? (Or tell me he's just fine.) Thanks. PamD 09:03, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong how? I would accept it as is. Kittybrewster 11:20, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well he doesn't seem to match any pattern at Knight of Kerry, and the other two who are also baronets are Adrian FitzGerald (no need to disambiguate, I suppose) and Peter George Fitzgerald, 19th Knight of Kerry ( no "sir", ordinal and no brackets, so they can't both be right). Isn't the "sir" only used when the full baronetal title is given? PamD 18:02, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He wasn't included in the dab page at George FitzGerald (disambiguation), but is now! PamD 18:11, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am persuaded by your logic. Kittybrewster 18:14, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But my logic only goes as far as "one of them is wrong", not how to fix it! I've added some missing links to the list at FitzGerald_Baronets#FitzGerald_Baronets.2C_of_Valencia_.281880.29, but I hope you can sort out the article title. PamD 18:28, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
They are now consistent with each other; notwithstanding that some are baronets, some are hereditary knights and some do not require disambiguation. Kittybrewster 12:17, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I expanded a note re the succession at Sir George FitzGerald, 23rd Knight of Kerry, and hope I got the terminology right. Stub-sorting can lead me off in all sorts of interesting directions, though titles of baronets etc is an area I know to steer clear of! PamD 13:51, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Adrian is the only one I know. I stand corrected. Kittybrewster 16:42, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Baronet categories

[edit]

Hallo my expert on all things baronet: an editor has removed Beckett, Edmund, 5th Baronet from Edmund Beckett, 1st Baron Grimthorpe, and I'm not sure whether they were right to do so. He was 5th baronet before he was Baron, so I'd have thought he should stay in the category? What do you think?

But then I note that his papa Sir Edmund Beckett, 4th Baronet hasn't got a baronet category either, though perhaps that's just because he's rather a stub. The 3rd baronet is merely a redlink: the 1st and 2nd appear neatly in the Baronets category where one would expect to see them (though the 1st is an un-disambiguated Gervase Beckett). PamD 17:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Tryde does that. I wouldn't enter into a battle with him. I think the "rule" would be "under what category would a reader be looking him up and why"? And Proteus has more knowledge than I do. The fact that an article is a stub is no excuse for them not being categorised Bart of UK. Kittybrewster 20:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Matthew Kirk.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Matthew Kirk.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:59, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Titles

[edit]

Can you help? User 94.65.32.228 has made changes to numerous pages stating that 'Peers aren't styled "Sir"'. You can see the list here [[2]].

I reverted those on a Douglas page before I saw this complete list. I am not at all sure that he is correct in what he is doing, but need some help in reviewing this. Shipsview (talk) 15:13, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before mass-changes are made to pages, consensus should be sought and received on an appropriate project talk page. In this case I would suggest Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Peerage_and_Baronetage. Failure to do this causes chaos and is WRONG. To take an example Sir Geoffrey Howe was definitely known as Sir Geoffrey before he became Lord Howe. He doesn't lose his knighthood because he is promoted, although he no longer uses it. To take another, Julian Aylmer inherited his baronetcy simultaneously with his Barony. But he is both, notwithstanding he is known by one only. So you have my support in reverting 94.65. Kittybrewster 16:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1st two by-elections

Lists of British officers

[edit]

Greetings. I feel compelled to say that the new article you have started (List of Royal Navy rear admirals) is a particularly ambitious undertaking. You may know that I am slowly working on List of British Army full generals (help gratefully appreciated) and that comments have been made about the size of that task. I have no proper idea how many Royal Navy rear admirals there have been. Over 5,000 (possibly over 10,000) do you think? Greenshed (talk) 20:06, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing wrong with ambitious; wikpedia itself was an ambitious undertaking. I don't think the numbers of those who merit a place in a list is important. (1) The rank has to be noteable and (2) the individual has to have come to the attention of a wikipedia contributor and (3) the chap has to have a wikipedia page or an independant ref. Kittybrewster 21:55, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was just a bid surprised that you did not pick off full admirals first. Greenshed (talk) 22:06, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Fair comment. Kittybrewster 22:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably you are limiting the list to those who retire at Rear Admiral - not those who go on to greater things? Shipsview (talk) 08:46, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Kittybrewster 09:22, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In the fullness of time might it not be a good idea to expand the list to include those who went on to higher rank? This would/will of course be a good deal easier once the Admiral of the Fleet, Admiral, and Vice-Admiral lists are complete. I assume at some point we will want to include dates of promotion to rear admirals in the article. If so adding in those who were subsequently promoted again would allow the reader to work out how many serving rear admirals there were at any one point in time. It is also worth noting that the List of British Army full generals includes those who made it to field marshal and the List of Royal Air Force air chief marshals includes those who went on to serve as marshals of the RAF. Greenshed (talk) 16:48, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That would be for the community to decide. Kittybrewster 18:06, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Royal Navy full admirals

[edit]

Hello Kittybrewster,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of Royal Navy full admirals for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, [[:{{{article}}}]].

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Gbawden (talk) 09:02, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Take a look at List of senior officers of the Royal Navy - this already has most of the full admirals in it. I suggest you add your VADM and RADM lists to this page as see also's. Gbawden (talk) 09:04, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would support the re-creation of the List of Royal Navy full admirals article. The List of senior officers of the Royal Navy article is not a complete list of full admirals and as it focuses on appointments and not rank, it does not enable the reader to see how many full admirals were serving or in retirement at any one time. Also, we have a List of British Army full generals, a List of Royal Marines full generals and a List of Royal Air Force air chief marshals and so a List of Royal Navy full admirals would complete the set.

Your contributed article, List of British Army Major-generals

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of British Army Major-generals. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_generals_and_brigadiers. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_generals_and_brigadiers – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Matty.007 (talk) 09:49, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was a little confused by your edits today to Alexander Montgomerie, 9th Earl of Eglinton‎.

A comment via OTRS:

David Dundas (disambiguation)
There is a horrible error in Wikipedia.
The baronet was the distinguished surgeon (1749-1826) who is written up at http://www.elliottdundas.freeserve.co.uk/internet/Dundas%20of%20Richmond,%20Surrey.htm
He was not the army general (1735?-1820) who was a Knight of the Bath and who has an entry in the Oxford DNB and whose biographical details are quite wrongly given at Sir David Dundas, 1st Baronet.
The entry for this army general can remain on a page of its own, after removal of any reference to him being a baronet and after removing the link from Dundas baronets at Dundas Baronets.

It probably needs a quick skim of the articles to make sure no facts have been accidentally placed in the wrong article.

John Frederick Nelson photograph

[edit]

Hi Kittybrewster,

My name is Bennett, and I work at Weber Shandwick UK on behalf of Lloyd's of London.

I noticed that you've uploaded the most recent photograph of John Frederick Nelson. Lloyd's is able to provide an image of John Frederick Nelson that is a bit less blurry and might look a bit better for the article. The photograph is courtesy of Lloyd's and they are happy for it to be used for this purpose.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you've any questions or concerns.

Best, Bennett

I know why Kittybrewster is reluctant to email images not his own, our image copyright rules are a constant source of puzzlement to article subjects - people always think that "I release this for Wikipedia" should be enough, but it's not, because of the way we permit our content to be re-used in turn.

Hello Kittybrewster, I am puzzled as to the difference between Sir Thomas Burdett, 1st Baronet of Bramcote and Sir Thomas Burdett, 1st Baronet of Dunmore. When you created the page Thomas Burdett (disambiguation), you added them as 2 separate people. However, when creating the page Sir Thomas Burdett, 1st Baronet of Dunmore (which I have since redirected), you just copied and pasted the content of Sir Thomas Burdett, 1st Baronet of Bramcote to the article. ??? ~ Anastasia (talk) 23:52, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some years ago I wrote an article on the Pettah of Ahmednagar. In checking the source in the article I noticed it mentioned a Colin Campbell who accompanied Wellington all the way to Waterloo.

Clearly the article Colin Campbell (colonial governor) is a biography on the man. I was going to copy edit it to put in a link to Pettah of Ahmednagar when I noticed that the dates were in the form "dd mmm. year" this is an unusual format and is usually an indication that the text is copied from somewhere.

On checking I found that much of the text is identical to the biography article "Campbell, Sir Colin" on page 142 of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, 1836-1850.

This can also be found online:

It is a self-published book, and therefore, not extremely popular. However, this book, Birds of Prey: an Oz novella, is credible and actually very well-written. Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farmerjacob79 (talkcontribs) 01:06, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Gordon Duff

[edit]

The article Gordon Duff has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This man's resume should be available at Veteran's Today where he works, and not on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a free advertisement for obscure commentators and writers.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. I like to saw logs!

Select Survey Invite

[edit]

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_6ExwDEpfZQY18vb&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 12:42, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Euan Wallace.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Euan Wallace.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (tc) 02:44, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is a category called Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with no article parameter, the first one on the list is Charles Arbuthnot (abbot) which 1911 article did you copy text from?

Hi Kittybrewster, did you have a chance to look at Charles Arbuthnot (abbot) yet? Just wondering if you could add the title of the EB1911 article to the template. Or, if the template was used by mistake, just delete the EB1911 template on Charles Arbuthnot, thanks. DivermanAU (talk) 22:15, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
