DYK for Hamilton Brown
On 26 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hamilton Brown, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1832, sugar planter Hamilton Brown argued that slaves in Jamaica were better off than the poor in Britain? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hamilton Brown. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Hamilton Brown), 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.

The article Raymond Butt has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I don't believe that he is notable enough to be on Wikipedia. He's a school teacher and part of the Royal Astronomical Society. There are many people out there that do the same. Doesn't mean that he released one book that he's become famous.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. Plum3600 (talk) 09:34, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, If you don't think your article should be deleted either discuss about why it shouldn't be deleted or move your article to the draft so it can be made better and then accepted into a draft. Thank you Plum3600 (talk) 14:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

John De Costa
hi...I came across this name on Air Rhodesia Flight 825....I feel it needs an article....what do you think? Whispyhistory (talk) 20:00, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- You are probably right but why that one particularly? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:25, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- I came across his name when researching a transplant surgeon who was travelling at the same time. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Anglican Dean of Salisbury, but did he perform surgery or collect postage stamps? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:42, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- No...Emu...It just seemed important and touched my heart. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:55, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Well he was a dean so that's a good start. If you create it I will add what I can. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:01, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you Kindly ...can you do a logo for IMSA too..please. I will research deCosta in meantime. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:12, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

- Can you add anything here: Edward Chauncey Luard? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:20, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. BTW, I don't think we need to routinely link to Google Books unless there is a full preview as it adds little. If we are linking to verify the publication details, World Cat is a better choice as it is more detailed and shows library holdings of each book. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:36, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

- In book citations, we don't link directly to online sellers or catalogues. There are two main kinds of link that we use, and the way that these are done differs according to the citation method. For plain text citations, as with this edit, we would link the title to a webpage which reproduces the actual text of the book; and if the book has an ISBN, we would put that into an
{{ISBN}}
template - this provides links to many catalogue services. If you use the{{cite book}}
template, its|url=
parameter may be used for a webpage which reproduces the actual text of the book; and its|isbn=
parameter can be used for the ISBN. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:39, 26 February 2019 (UTC)- Indeed. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Party piece
There are a number of people made famous from their party pieces. I think the list may be endless. I imagine a number of Britain's Got Talent were party pieces. Of interest [1]. I like the second hook better, although all are good. Good work and very entertaining. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:49, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on this (also Whispyhistory and Redrose64). I've just highlighted a few issues at Template:Did you know nominations/Raymond Butt. Raymond was one of the longest serving members of the Transport Ticket Society, joining soon after the society in its present guise was formed, and we corresponded fairly regularly on ticket-related news. Although not directly ticket-related, his 1995 directory is one of the most important publications ever written by a society member, in my view (and there have been many!).

BLP violating article deleted
I have deleted Priyanka Fernando under the G10 speedy criterion. You claimed that he had commanded a division which had been accused by the UNHCR of "human rights violations", but as far as I can tell none of your 5 sources make that claim. If the claim is indeed in one of these five sourecs and I missed it, then of course I or any other admin may restore the page as is. Otherwise, please take care not to post such serious negative claims without very good sources to support it. Fram (talk) 10:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

- Thank you Kindly Whispyhistory (talk) 21:35, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
- The background of Karta (the mother) should maybe go elsewhere or be clearer. What do you think? Whispyhistory (talk) 09:03, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Moved. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:08, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Could you monkey around with the second para of the lead? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:15, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Last orangutan Karta (orangutan). She is famous for being loved by those around her. Is that ok? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:56, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- If you mean as a hook, I would go with disabling the electrical fence in an escape attempt (if that is what it was). P.S. apes can't be "advocates" of anything. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:12, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

- Not sure about being "famous" for it but you can say it if there are sources. I would probably go with something like "regarded with great affection by her keepers". Philafrenzy (talk) 19:30, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

The article John Murray (professor) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No evidence of notability (general or WP:NPROF) since article creation; only passing mentions in a quick WP:BEFORE
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. David Gerard (talk) 13:24, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Liam Brennan
Okay I was looking over the shortest BLP's. One you made, Liam Brennan says he is the president of something, but I can't see his name on the link. Should the ref be changed or something?

- His name is on the website if you type it in search, but I have added a little more information and a few reliable sources. Thanks Whispyhistory (talk) 05:49, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

- Not sure we have the right English name yet. Is it a convention or a conference? The only name we can be sure of is the French version, site of the event and French being the language of diplomacy at that time. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:06, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- you're right. I started with [3] and then didn't notice. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:51, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
