Ayscoghe Boucherett

This is an excellent article! As you can see, I've moved your draft into article space. In future, just go ahead and create your articles directly as you did with Sir William Earle Welby, 1st Baronet. One thing I would suggest re the Sir William Earle Welby article is to check that it follows the article naming conventions (it may not and need to be moved). Just post a query at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography and someone there should be able to help. Also check that it's correctly linked in the succession templates, once the name is finalized. Best wishes, many thanks for your work, and welcome to Wikipedia! Voceditenore (talk) 17:42, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back so quickly! Your comments are good to hear. I will check up on those details for Sir William and will, in future, put articles straight out onto the main space unless I have significant doubt about it. Thanks again, Noswall59 (talk) 18:06, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Ayscoghe Boucherett

On 19 May 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ayscoghe Boucherett, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that before entering politics, British Member of Parliament Ayscoghe Boucherett became friends with Sir Thomas Lawrence, whose painting The Children of Ayscoghe Boucherett (pictured) is now held in The Louvre? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ayscoghe Boucherett. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thomas Tyrwhitt-Drake

Hi. Venn, the directory of Cambridge University alumni, has the son Edward born in 1832 rather than 1823, so I've amended accordingly: it also refers to him and his older brother as "Drake" rather than "Tyrwhitt-Drake" which means that Edward gets referred to in cricket directories (such as www.cricketarchive.com) as "E. T. Drake".<http://archive.org/stream/p2alumnicantabri02univuoft#page/334/mode/2up> I'll probably start an article on Edward in the next day or so (I'm gently working my way through old first-class cricketers) and will try to cross-ref properly. BTW, was one of TTD's offspring really called "Charles Diana" and was it really female? Thanks. Johnlp (talk) 10:23, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've just checked de Ruvigny and you're right - I mistyped the year, so thanks for spotting that. As for Tyrwhitt-Drake and Drake, it seems to be a fuzzy area, most sources (including the History of Parliament's article for his father) state that he had legally changed his name to Tyrwhitt and then to Tyrwhitt Drake. In practice, I think they stuck with the Drake - I saw a photo of a sign with a message from Thomas Drake Tyrwhitt-Drake, which was signed "T.D.T. Drake". And, yes, I've just checked the Ruvigny and, according to that work, the daughter was called Charles Diana; Burke's Landed Gentry from 1965 calls her Charlotte Diana, however, and, having just done some primary research, I can see that she was called Charlotte in her marriage records; I think it's safe to change it to that, which I will do in a moment. Thanks, --Noswall59 (talk) 16:16, 2 July 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Thank you for the cricket reference: I started the Edward article, but then got sidetracked (by work) and will not get back to it until tomorrow. But I'll certainly use some of that material. The contemporary quotes are very good. Johnlp (talk) 22:52, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad I could be of some help. Thanks, --Noswall59 (talk) 19:11, 4 July 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Young master Edward turns out to have been quite a character: he finished seventh in the Grand National in 1860. Thanks for the pointers. Johnlp (talk) 22:34, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's great to see how the article has grown in the last few weeks - it appears there was a lot more to him than initially met the eye; I've added it to my watch-list now. It's really good work, I'm glad I was helpful. Noswall59 (talk) 18:20, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of Knights Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order appointed by King Edward VII

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of List of Knights Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order appointed by King Edward VII, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: List of Knights Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order appointed by Queen Victoria. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:32, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I saw your question on the Notability talk page... if you wish to write an article, and are not sure if the topic/subject is notable, my suggestion is to draft it in User Space (as a sub-page of your user page)... this will keep it from being deleted while you find sources and build it to a point where it would survive scrutiny. Then you can cut and paste it into main article space.
If you are unsure whether the topic of an article that has already been written is notable, first try posting your concerns on the article talk page... then, if no one responds to your concerns and improves the article after a reasonable amount of time, go to WP:AfD and suggest that the article be deleted. This thread of deletion often gets people focused on finding sources in order to "save" the article, and you can use those sources to improve it. Good Luck. Blueboar (talk) 16:46, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments, BlueBoar. I may well take the article to AfD - it's a difficult one to call. Thanks again, --Noswall59 (talk) 17:10, 5 December 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Sleaford

I have oddles of Sleaford stuff in Land and People of Medieval Lincolnshire... Lincolnshire Towns and Industry (1700 - 1914)... Tudor Lincolnshire... and Lincolnshire Politics 1832 - 1835 (I see you have this)... that I will look at adding when it looks as if you have completed your task. You might have referenced some of this of course - bit of a headache to find out by working down your 400 cites :) It might be useful for layout, particularly for GA, if you have a look at structure per WP:UKTOWNS. Acabashi (talk) 21:00, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Acabashi: Hi, I haven't used those sources (other than the Olney) book. I did look at one of the books in that series (Early Modern Lincolnshire) and found that there was relatively little mention of Sleaford other than in passing. Is there much that's missing from the works you mention? I do have access to all of them, if they are useful. I have largely finished editing the article (at least until my GAR begins)—my recent edits have all been relatively minor additions or grammatical tweaks; if there are any major omissions, then please do fill in the gaps :) I will take a look at the structure; I think it corresponds with most of the structure prescribed at that page, but personally, I consider it illogical to put history before geography, given that it seems more sensible to describe a place before its history. Anyway, I will look at it all properly later. Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 01:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC).[reply]

@Rodw: Okay, I've just exported them again. I get 233 for Mendip (out of 234) and 199 for West Somerset (out of 202). So, there are only a few more to find. Sorry, —Noswall59 (talk) 12:09, 2 March 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks I will keep looking but can't find/think of a simple way to do an A-> Z to compare easily.— Rod ^talk 18:42, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to your help I have now found the missing one on Mendip and an anomaly on West Somerset where one site has two entries on NHLE; however I think there is still one missing on West Som despite having been through the list several times. Do you have any clever ideas about how I could identify it?— Rod ^talk 21:48, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodw: Hi, I have copied the table and then also copied the search results from NHLE (which can also be pasted into Excel, and don't merge like the Wiki tables do). I have gone through and compared them, which was complicated by the merged cells from the wikitable. Anyway, the two entries which appear in the search results but not your table are:

Name: Group of round barrows See also SOMERSET 170, List entry Number: 1002626 [1]
Name: Bowl barrow on Longstone Hill, 270m north east of Bicknoller Post, List entry Number: 1014130 [2]

In the case of the first one, it might have been superseded by later entries, I don't know; and as for the second, its name is almost identical to another one, except this is North East, not NNE. Hopefully, these tables are complete now—I imagine you will be pleased to see the back of these lists! As always, they are a great addition and at least you will know that they are complete for FLC now. All the best, —Noswall59 (talk) 00:04, 5 March 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for all your help on this (and support re Sedgemoor). 1002626 is already included however 1014130 was the one I had missed (because of the v similar titles). I will add this now & then be confident they are comprehensive. Once they get to FLC I will find out how much more work is needed on these 2 final (and large) lists.— Rod ^talk 14:00, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

KCC election articles

Hello Noswall59. I'm really impressed by the Kesteven County Council articles you've created - maximum kudos. By any chance, do you know whether county borough council elections were held on a three year cycle like county council ones? I had hoped they were, but it looks like some (e.g Sheffield) were elected annually. Cheers, Number 5 7 20:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: Many thanks :) I think it's worthwhile adding this sort of information - I am shocked at how many seats were uncontested in some of those elections (in at least one case, a son took over from his father too)... a national survey could make an interesting study. Added to that, most of the early articles include information about the professions of candidates, which again would really useful for an academic. I think this kind of information about democracies should be publicly available, but I digress. As for the Borough elections, I can't say for certain, but I have found cases of annual elections for Grantham Municipal Borough Council from the 1920s; there will be more. No wonder turnouts were low. I can do some digging around to see what the legislation says... Do you think they are notable enough to warrant having articles for each election? Thanks again, —Noswall59 (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Certainly county councils and county borough councils. Not sure about urban/rural districts though, although there are a few on such councils in Wales (e.g. Category:Aberdare Urban District Council elections). I guess Grantham was an urban district? Perhaps it was up to the councils (pretty much like it is today), and some opted for annual elections and others triennial ones. Number 5 7 20:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: I have just looked at the legislation. Councillor's terms were three years, but elections were staggered annually, so one third of the council was up for election every year (see here, section 13.2). Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 21:02, 28 April 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Cool, great find - elected by thirds, just like many modern-day councils! Number 5 7 21:39, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of Fellows of the British Academy

Hi Noswall59! Thank you so much for expanding List of Fellows of the British Academy. I have moved it to List of Fellows of the British Academy elected in the 2010s to stop it getting too long. If you would like, you could continue expanding the list in the form of List of Fellows of the British Academy elected in the 2000s etc. Do you think it would be a good idea to merge the fellowship section of the main article with links to the lists of fellows pages into a separate article? Maybe something simple such as Fellows of the British Academy. Or maybe just keep List of Fellows of the British Academy as a DAB page linking to the respective decade lists and maybe create a list of female fellows (like the Royal Society's list)? Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 23:46, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gaia Octavia Agrippa, thanks. I would love to create a full set of lists at least for each decade, but there is certainly scope for lists along gender lines, plus also potentially List of historians elected Fellows of the British Academy and maybe List of Honorary Fellows of the British Academy, List of Corresponding Fellows of the British Academy. For now, it's probably best to link them in the main article, but I imagine it will be best to have a special sort of dab page for them. Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 23:51, 23 October 2016 (UTC).[reply]

That's a good idea for the different categories. I've gone ahead and created the DAB article for them; I could see them getting lost if there wasn't one created from the start. The hat link in the fellows section links to the DAB article and then people can go from there to what ever sub-division they like the look of. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 00:00, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this – there will be plenty of others to create. It looks like the Academy included annual reports in its journal Proceedings of the British Academy up to the mid-1980s which contained lists of new fellows. After this, the journal became irregular and focused on themes in scholarship. It looks like the only source from then until 1998 will have to be their annual reports. My university library has copies of them (I think), so I shall try and call them up. Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 10:58, 24 October 2016 (UTC).[reply]

That's a bit more complicated than I thought it would be! If your happy doing that, that would be great. I've created the female list and I'm in the process of adding women from the decade lists. Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 11:26, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of Local Nature Reserves in Lincolnshire (August 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ToThAc was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You can't just use two primary sources and call it a day. Also, there are two many red links.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:List of Local Nature Reserves in Lincolnshire and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Speedy deletion nomination of Murdo Maclean

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.

A tag has been placed on Murdo Maclean requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 21:46, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of women in politics

Hi Noswall59

I just wanted to say a quick thanks for your posts[3][4][5] at WT:WikiProject Women in Red#Systemic_bias_in_notability about making lists of women in politics. That thread is getting a bit busy (lots of pent-up dissatisfaction producing a wonderful flurry of ideas), so I thought I'd reply here. Hope that's OK.

First thing: you inspired me to follow the write-about-what-you-know-about principle, and revive back to my own (vague, unwritten) plan to build on the lists I had already made of Irish women in political office (TDs, Senators and MEPs). I added[6] a graphical timeline to the list of TDs, and have now made good progress on a draft of the (depressingly short) list of women cabinet ministers. I still need to finish the referencing and then dig out my books and write the prose intro ... but I'm pleased with how it is going, and think I may submit it as a featured list when its done.

Then I will do the same for women Minister of State and women Parliamentary Secretaries of Ireland, and then continue for Northern Ireland. Hopefully I can build a complete set of decent quality lists of women in political office throughout the island of Ireland. Thanks again for inspiring me. (And a hat-tip too to @Frickeg, whose massive work on comprehensive and elegant lists of Australian parliamentarians sets a gold standard.)

Back to our discussion at WP:WiR. I really like your list of resources at User:Noswall59/MPs. It's wonderfully comprehensive, and will be a v valuable resource. Three things occur to me:

Your great work deserves more prominence. Would you be willing to move it to WikiProject space, if a suitable location can be found? I'm thinking maybe WP:POLITICS.
It could be accompanied by a list of other resources. e.g.:
- the Inter-Parliamentary Union's website (https://www.ipu.org/) has a resources section (https://www.ipu.org/resources) which I have only just begun to explore, but I see lots of valuable stuff, e.g. a Database on Women’s Caucuses, a bibliographic database on women in politics
- Queen's University Belfast's Centre for Advancement of Women in Politics (CAWP) (https://www.qub.ac.uk/cawp/). Moribund, but still useful
might it be worth considering setting up some sort of page to group resources, track progress, swap ideas etc on expanding coverage of women in politics?
I am wary of creating yet another WikiProject (squillions of them are moribund), but somewhere with a few pages might help.

What do you think? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:20, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BrownHairedGirl, many thanks for your reply. I think the work you're doing for Ireland's women politicians is fantastic! As it happens, I recently noticed that WP's coverage of Northern Ireland's ministries is somewhat patchy, and our coverage of NI civil servants is very poor. I created the article Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service only a couple of weeks ago! Given that most of the names on there are red, I imagine the same is true for each ministry's permanent secretary as well.

Moving on to the wider European political articles, I am glad that you liked the table. I think I'll post about in the politics Wikiproject sometime soon. Working on it all would be an enormous task, but also a very rewarding and potentially transformative one which would benefit from multiple editors' inputs. I think lists will be the way forward. To demonstrate the point, this afternoon I created List of members of the Parliament of Estonia, 1920–23 using databases of members put together by the country's parliament and by the National Library of Estonia. I also stumbled across the Estonian Biographical Database run by the Estonian Literary Museum's Archival Library, and a lot of material (including biographies) of Estonian women involved in inter-war politics on the National Library's website here. There really is so much out there, but evidently very little appetite to do much with this information (look at all those redlinks – pretty much all of these people will pass WP:NPOL!) Even on the Estonian wiki, I notice that their article on the 1920–23 session contains only a partial list of members.

Anyway, I'll see if I can find a few more databases and then post in the politics WP to see what interest there is. Thanks ever so much, —Noswall59 (talk) 16:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

John Smith

Hi. I've restored the tag which you removed from your article. Articles need more than one source. Any claim to notability is weak without multiple sources, and there is virtually no claim to notability in this one as it stands. Deb (talk) 08:58, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deb, The tag states that the article needs more sources for verification, but it does not. Everything in the article is verified by citations to an independent, reliable, secondary. What you're saying here is that you believe the article needs more sources to demonstrate notability, which is a totally different matter to verification; you're using the wrong tag which is why I removed the tag. Anyway, I reckon an obituary in a major national newspaper ought to demonstrate notability but I'll see what else I can find. It's a shame that you chose to spend time tagging several articles I've created with vague notices, then reverting my removal of one of those, and then posting here, rather than, say, actually improving the article. —Noswall59 (talk) 09:13, 21 February 2018 (UTC).[reply]

You haven't actually made any claim to notability in the article. If you felt this was the wrong tag, then it's clear you understood what the problem was, and you have been here long enough to know that you don't remove tags without dealing with the issues raised. I gave you guidance on how to improve the article, since I noticed that the review by User:Enwebb had missed the obvious problem. It's not my job to fix your articles for you; I keep an eye on new articles to try and ensure they are up to standard. I posted here out of politeness but don't expect any further messages from me. Deb (talk) 09:37, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't believe that there was an issue with verifiability in that article, which is what you tagged the article for; that is why I removed the tag and I reckon I'm perfectly justified in doing so. What you've since told me on this talk page is that you believe there to be an issue with notability, and so, now you've told me this, I'm telling you that you used the wrong tag; I wasn't to know this and did not know this before you posted here (i.e. after I removed the tag). As for notability, he is notable because (a) he was a Professor in a major English research university (equivalent to a Distinguished Professorship in the US, and therefore passing WP:PROF); and (b) because he has a lengthy obituary in The Guardian, a major national newspaper. Both of these things are in the article, as is additional commentary on the subject taken from the obituary. I never claimed it was your job to "fix articles for me", but I reckon it's far more constructive (for our readers) to improve an article than slap a vague tag over it, which confused me, an editor who's been here for four years with several featured articles and hundreds of page creations under my belt; I imagine it's enough to put off a newbie. Anyway, enough said here. —Noswall59 (talk) 10:30, 21 February 2018 (UTC).[reply]

@Deb: thanks for the feedback. My understanding is that the claim to notability being present in an article only applies to certain subjects (WP:A7 and WP:A9). Per WP:GNG, "Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article. If the subject has not been covered outside of Wikipedia, no amount of improvements to the Wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable. Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability." I reviewed the article and determined that the subject was notable, regardless of the contents of the current article. If you want to dispute the notability of the subject of this article, by all means start an AFD. Enwebb (talk) 16:14, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Enwebb: I think you might be confusing the criteria for speedy deletion with the notability requirement. I didn't delete the article because I had no reason to suspect that the subject wasn't notable. On the other hand, the claim of notability in the article was extremely weak as it stood, hence I tagged for improvement in the form of additional references. Does that make sense? Deb (talk) 16:20, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Deb: so here's how things stand. I reviewed an article I determined that the subject was notable. I marked it as reviewed because lack of a claim of notability is not enough for a speedy deletion for the subject matter, and it would most likely be a keep at AFD. You felt that a specific improvement tag should be added, so you added it. And now we're having a conversation about ??? Frankly I don't see why I was brought into this via your notification other than for you to rub my nose in the notion that I "had missed the obvious problem." Please leave further feedback of my article reviewing skills on my talk page. & to Noswall59, sorry for blowing up your talk page. Enwebb (talk) 16:32, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

It's all your fault

<grin>

Per our |discussion above, it was a post by you[7] at WT:WIR which prompted me to return to making lists of Irish politicians.

So I am delighted that my List of women cabinet ministers of the Republic of Ireland has just been promoted[8][9] to featured list status. Without your eloquent post about the importance of lists, I would probably not even have started it.

The FL review process was quite arduous and prolonged; the wikicode of Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of women cabinet ministers of the Republic of Ireland/archive1 is almost as long as the wikicode of the list itself, despite lacking the list's complex table markup. It initially felt v offputting, and at one point I came close to withdrawing the nom, but I am glad I persevered. By about half way it started to feel more constructive, and I think the article was much improved through the review.

I hope it's all some encouragement to others working on lists of women in politics. I was sad to see that the Irish women cabinet ministers are the only women in Category:FL-Class Ireland articles, and the only one in Category:FL-Class biography (politics and government) articles apart from the US first ladies. It's also the only list of politicians in Category:FL-Class WikiProject Women articles. It'd be nice to see it lose its rarity value.

Thanks again. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:15, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Annette Volfing

The article Annette Volfing has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Elsie Griffin

Hello. Would you please send me the text of her obit from The Times? I moved the cite in line, but perhaps it should also be cited elsewhere? -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:37, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ssilvers, I don't have email setup on my account (and don't know how all that works), but I'll look into it this evening (UK time). —Noswall59 (talk) 16:20, 27 September 2018 (UTC).[reply]

You can just copy it onto my Talk page, or onto the Elise Griffin Talk page, if you prefer. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:48, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ssilvers: I'd rather not copy and paste for copyright reasons. I've read over the obituary, and it's not particularly long; the article seems pretty on point and there was little else to add, but where I found new facts, I went ahead and included them, as well as a comment from the obituary about her significance and skill as a soprano in the 1920s and 1930s.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Titles of Distinction awarded by the University of Oxford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brian Rogers (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

James Ogilvy Blair-Cunynghame

Saw you reverted. Didn't see any missing cites. (3 before, 3 after.) What's up? Lfstevens (talk) 04:25, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lfstevens: Sorry, it wasn't that the cites were missing, it was that they were no longer at the end of each paragraph, which made those paragraphs appear unreferenced: does that make sense? I'm quite busy at the minute, but can take a look at breaking it into manageable chunks, with references, in a few days. Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 14:02, 17 November 2018 (UTC).[reply]

You appear to have mistaken me for someone else. The refs were stacked before I got there. Lfstevens (talk) 00:45, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lfstevens: hi. Unless I'm misreading the diff, it looks like it was in this edit that you you broke the text up into paragraphs without re-inserting the inline citations for each new paragraph; that has the effect of making all but the final paragraph unreferenced, which is of course a problem. It did need sorting into paragraphs, so thank you for doing that; I've now gone back and re-added the correct citations so that everything in the body is cited inline. —Noswall59 (talk) 20:29, 21 November 2018 (UTC).[reply]

It looks like we're in alternate universes. The version you referenced has this (I quote):

'"He died on 4 January 1990.<ref>"Sir James Blair-Cunynghame", ''The Times'' (London), 8 January 1990, p. 18.</ref><ref>[https://www.rbs.com/heritage/people/james-ogilvie-blair-cunynghame.html "James Ogilvie Blair-Cunynghame"], ''RBS''. Retrieved 27 September 2018.</ref><ref>[http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/10.1093/ww/9780199540891.001.0001/ww-9780199540884-e-162098 "Blair-Cunynghame, Sir James (Ogilvy)"], ''Who Was Who'' (online edition, Oxford University Press, December 2007). Retrieved 27 September 2018.</ref>"'

All the refs are at the end..... Lfstevens (talk) 09:45, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All paragraphs need to be referenced. Yes, the three refs were at the end of the final paragraph, but a reader will not know that these references cover every paragraph preceding it. References cannot and won't be assumed to carry back to each previous unsourced paragraph: that's not how it works in publishing off-wiki and that's not how it works here. Indeed, it's standard practice to add new citations at the end of every paragraph. If you need a guideline, then WP:INTEXT states "An inline citation should follow the attribution, usually at the end of the sentence or paragraph in question." —Noswall59 (talk) 10:11, 22 November 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Colin Timms

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.

A tag has been placed on Colin Timms requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/music/timms-colin.aspx. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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.

Nomination of Colin Timms for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Colin Timms is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colin Timms until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sheldybett (talk) 03:06, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled right

Hello, thanks for all your contributions to Wikipedia!

I notice that you’ve written a large number of valid articles, which makes you eligible to have your account marked as auto patrolled. This would mean that your articles get automatically marked as reviewed, without needing to be manually tagged as acceptable. As I can tell that you know what you’re doing, would you be happy to be nominated for this right? I’m keen to reduce the number of valid articles new page reviewers need to examine.

You can nominate yourself if you want or I’d be very happy to do it for you.

Separately, as a suggestion for making your articles even better, one thing I recommend is adding an authority control tag on the pages of published authors. Once connected up to a Wikidata entry (which someone else can do at a later date), this allows you to click straight through from a Wikipedia page to Worldcat and to finding the nearest library stocking their works. I've added a link to your John Donaldson article as an example (in his case it just took me a few seconds as a bot had already created a database entry on him from a database of published authors back in 2014, but someone else can do this for you). Blythwood (talk) 12:58, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making both of these suggestions, I had forgotten about this over Christmas, but I'll investigate autopatrolled rights and also the authority control template – I didn't know about the former and had no idea what the latter did! All the best, —Noswall59 (talk) 12:27, 2 January 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Tovey Professor

(and others, like the one just mentioned.) "was", or "is" ? if it's vacant, it still exists until the univ decides to abolish it. DGG ( talk ) 01:33, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, you make a valid point. I'll go through and check for this. It is difficult, however, to know whether a chair is vacant or has been abolished: universities don't tend to make that sort of information public (at least not online - I am sure if one completed an FOI request or looked in the archives, it would there). In some cases, I might omit the "is/was a named chair at..." and just open with "was established as a named chair at ... in ...". Safer wording perhaps. —Noswall59 (talk) 12:25, 2 January 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Henry William Newman Fane

Hello,

In the city of Wasquehal is buried an English soldier.

William Johnson, gunner of the 30th British Artillery Regiment stationed at Wasquehal, died at the Dragon Lock on December 6, 1939 at 8:15 am

On his death certificate is named Henry WN Fane, resident in Lincoln, 42 years old.

On the Henry William Newman Fane wikipedia that you have created, it is nothing mentioned about the period of the second world war.

would it be the same person?

Recent articles on Estonian politicians.

Noswall59,

Hello! As a member of WikiProject Estonia, thank you for your recent contributions of articles on Estonian politicians! I very much appreciate your contributions. I would like to ask, however, if you object to two changes per Wikipedia:Article titles naming conventions. I would like to move the articles Mart Kiirats to Mats Mõtslane and Max Woldemar Gustav Eduard Bock to Max Bock. While Mart Kiirats is the correct birth name of Mats Mõtslane, like many other writers (Mark Twain, O. Henry, Lewis Carroll, George Eliot, etc.), he is mostly known by his pen name; nearly all of his work is written under this name. His Estonian Wiki entry is as Mats Mõtslane. My second suggestion is that Max Woldemar Gustav Eduard Bock be moved to simply Max Bock, as this is the name he is generally known by as well, instead of his full name (as can be seen on the Estonian and other international Wikis [11] [12]). If you object to these moves, please let me know. Thank you again for your good work. It is always appreciated to see some Estonian inclusuions! ExRat (talk) 22:28, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ExRat and thanks for your comments: I'm glad someone so involved with Estonian topics approves! By all means go ahead and move those articles as you've suggested; I have no objections. Thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 17:34, 27 February 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Also, while I take your point about Who's Who not being brilliant for verifiability, that is different from notability and the perennial sources page you linked to says nothing about it in relation to notability; it is a selective publication and inclusion gives quite a lot of weight to when discussing whether someone is notable.

Rewriting lede

Hi there. Great job on your rewriting of the Tony Blair lead section. I was just wondering whether you might consider also rewriting the (somewhat bloated) Clement Attlee lede?

User:AlbanGeller: thanks! I've had a go at re-working the Attlee lead. It's still very long, but his career was varied and unusually eventful. His wartime service, electoral record and unprecedented social reforms and foreign policy efforts make it hard for me to know what to cut without collapsing those achievements into sentences like "his government enacted wide-ranging social reforms and worked to implement a Keynesian programme of economic management based on full employment, a mixed economy and state provision of social services". Not wrong, but maybe not specific enough for someone who doesn't want to read the whole section on domestic policy. Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 10:29, 20 November 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Dr. Blofeld, thanks ever so much for that.

Ways to improve List of Knights Bachelor appointed in 1904

Hello, Noswall59,

Thank you for creating List of Knights Bachelor appointed in 1904.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Please make sure that other pages link to this list

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|MrClog}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

MrClog (talk) 11:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I’m just reviewing this series of pages you’ve created. They all seem to be orphans (no inbound links) which will make them hard to find after all the work you’ve put in. Can I suggest that you create a list of lists article like Lists of Knights Bachelor by year of appointment and list all your lists there. If you link the list of lists article to the knight bachelor article then everything you’ve added will form part of an easy sequence of links that readers can follow. All the best Mccapra (talk) 03:36, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your message. I have now created a template and index page for these. Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 15:05, 17 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Members of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for creating the lists of pages of Members of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences! You have put a lot of effort in it! I frequently create pages of members and have made some effort to place all the members in the Category:Members of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Therefore, I am especially grateful for having these overviews. If I find the time I will work on them by adding links to the articles of the individuals. One final thing, to aid further in navigation, might I suggest also making a template? Crispulop (talk) 18:55, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Crispulop. I did notice that there were a surprisingly large number of blue links, so thank you too for your efforts! I still need to merge some of the tables together, but linking is going to a big task. I'll have a look at setting up a template, perhaps modelled on the Royal Society one. I would like to get the year elected columns filled in too, so that we can have members arranged by year of appointment. Cheers, —Noswall59 (talk) 07:55, 6 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]
