Clarice Cliff

Thank you for your contributions to Clarice Cliff, some busy body had removed the page about The Newport Pottery, can this be reinstated? BTW It wasn't my page. I have other pages removed for no good reason though. Mariegriffiths (talk) 10:30, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

It depends why it was removed. I don't know the process or background. It may not be notable unless it has in depth coverage somewhere, or may belong as part of another article. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thank you for all your support. Women are difficult to write about. If you can dyk Sweet...that would be incredible

Whispyhistory (talk) 19:58, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

A kitten with claws, who does that remind me of? I don't agree that women are difficult to write about, but sometimes discretion is the better part of valour when it comes to DYK nominations. Maybe. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:21, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

If you look after a kitten for more than a few minutes you'll know that they all have claws. Check out some of my furniture. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:39, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Did you buy Frontier Scouts or get that quote from somewhere else? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:51, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

I have the original Frontier Scouts... just been looking in it. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:55, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

I saw that copy. I think you bought the only one on the market. Is there an image of Pettigrew? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:20, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

First thing I looked for...no there isn't. sorry. Several unclear images of the NWF only and few others. X-checked the first Indian air force was posted there in 1937. I think Popham may have been around too as well as Aspy. Whispyhistory (talk) 22:24, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Not unusual - too expensive for self-published books. And not unusual for the author not to include his own photograph either, but not helpful for us. There is one in the unit histories site but not usable as not RS. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:28, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Walter Jardine

Hi Philafrenzy ! From your name, I gather you're into philately, and compliment you on your Wiki record of activity. I've just started an article on a chap who designed (inter alia) a handful of high-denomination stamps in the 1960s, and would like to see it embellished with images of those stamps. I gather they are free of copyright, as I've found several stamps from the era on Wikimedia, but not these, and have yet to learn the tricks to finding material in that great warehouse.

They are "The Navigators" series of 1964: 5/- William Dampier, 7/6 James Cook, 10/- Matthew Flinders, £1 George Bass, and £2 Phillip Parker King. Jardine also designed the 5d stamp released on 25 July 1962 to commemorate the centenary of John McDouall Stuart's crossing the continent, perhaps others, but that's the only info I have. Regards, Doug butler (talk) 03:10, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

If he retained the copyright then they are not out of copyright as he only died in 1970. If the Australian post office own it (most likely) then it is probably Australian Crown Copyright. See here and expired if published prior to 1972 so your set may be OK. I also see that there are many Australian stamps on Commons with the wrong licence so that needs fixing too. I will try to look in detail later. Congratulations on your article. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:46, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I knew it wouldn't be easy. Doug butler (talk) 13:21, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Angel Street, London

The article Angel Street, London has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established with substantive sources. Mere recording of a street on an old map isn't a basis for notability, nor is a basis statement of what's on it.

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.
