Welcome!

Hello, Michaelwilson, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

Geoffrey Pole

Thanks for this excellent article! A note that Wikipedia strives to maintain a neutral point of view, and phrases such as "victim of Henry's tyranny" are not appropriate. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 04:17, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Editorial judgement accepted - but it is the opening line of his entry in the DNB.

Welcome also. On the DNB, very good that you added the Talk page category for a DNB link - I'm involved in the Wikisource end of the project to have the old DNB articles posted there, and these categories for articles are taken notice of in time (we are about 15% done now with getting through it). As for "tyranny", neutrality can be attained by attributing the opinion to the author: "James Gairdner regards him as a victim of Henry's tyranny". With any other attributable opinions: judging by the ODNB article it's a complicated business. Charles Matthews (talk) 11:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Baron Grey of Powis

Hi Michael, Thanks for your edits and insight for the Baron Grey of Powis article. I had two questions on Talk:Baron Grey of Powis one a follow-up to your point about the article needing work. Do you mind taking a look at that and let me know if you think the article needs further work based upon your comments about the title going into abeyance? Thanks so much! --CaroleHenson (talk) 18:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. In E-Science, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages NERC and MRC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. When you recently edited Douglas Hartree, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Physical Laboratory (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
