April 2009 holiday period (ends on April 18th)

I shall do almost nothing on Wikipedia during that period: please add messages here if you wish to do so though replies will be very rare. Update: obviously I have not stopped editing but hope to do much less.----Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 19:08, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

June / July 2009 holiday period (ends on July 5th)

I shall be doing much less editing than usual during this fortnight but will still log on occasionally: please add messages here if you wish to do so.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Reduced service

I intend to do much less editing from now to the end of July but shall probably log in occasionally.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Unified accounts

Hiya. I note that you registered your English Wikipedia account on 27 February 2008 - therefore, currently, you do not have a unified account. More recently created accounts are automatically unified - meaning that the same username/password can be used on any of the sister projects.

Have a quick read of m:Help:Unified login#How to unify your accounts, and then, just go to Special:MergeAccount. Once your account is unified, you should be able to use the same username and password on all different language wikis - including Wikipedya Kernewek and Wikipédia francophone.  Chzz  ►  00:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

This account is now unified.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for trying to improve the notable people section on the Stretford article, but could you please undo your changes. It's standard (as established by many GAs and FAs under the UK and Greater Manchester wikiprojects) to use prose instead of lists. Also there are a couple of unreferenced additions to the sections, it's important to include sources whenever making changes to an article to maintain it's quality.

Harrison Ainsworth

I see that you have wandered over to the Ainsworth pages. Malleus Fatuorum‎ and I are planning to fix him. The poor fellow has gone without a page, or anything devoted to his 40+ novels. Thankfully, I will be putting out about 20 or so pages in the next month on the topic. However, it is always nice to have an interested individual as another set of eyes or even as a contributor. Seeing as how you are interested, I hope you will keep an eye out and possibly jump in to lend a hand. I think Septemberish would be the time when the work shall be pushed forth and started. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

This may save you some work. Originally, I was going to build that list to have it on DYK but someone decided to move it to mainspace, which caused problems. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the pointer: I have added all the Ainsworth information I have at the moment. I will leave him alone now and probably have a look occasionally to see when he gets thoroughly revised.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

MANCH (Manchester Museum Herbarium)

The Index Herbariorum figure of 1,000,000 for the University of Manchester herbarium was last updated in 2005. It is therefore a more recent figure than the "several million" of the alternative source you've located (published 1985). --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:42, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

The larger number might reflect the total specimens of the museum, rather than the botanical holdings of the herbarium. It is also possible that the museum includes more than one herbarium (The Museum in Paris does), and it's even possible that a significant fraction of the collection was sent to another herbarium, such as happened for the LA County Museum. Further research is definitely needed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:07, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

IMDB

Hi, I noticed this edit at List of people from Salford. I thought I'd best let you know that the IMDB is not a reliable source. It's content is added, unchecked, by annoymous voluteers - a bit like Wikipedia, but without citing their sources. I found out the hard way when I used it to verify someone's place of birth and was enlightened about where the material comes from and it's dubious quality at a featured article review. I'll try and find a replacement source at the Salford list. I'm not sure if you've been using it on a large scale, but thought I'd best let you know asap so as not to disappoint. --Jza84 |  Talk  15:17, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Cornwall

"Forrabury"

Hi Felix, thank you for the additional material in the article Forrabury and Minster. There are a couple of typos you may want to go back to and if you can cite Pevsner, please add the citation.

Other similar new or revised Cornwall articles you may wish to look at include: Menabilly, Crugmeer, Lawhitton, St Breock (parish), Barcelona, Cornwall, Kennards House, Banns, Cornwall, Ball, Cornwall, Bake, Cornwall, Albaston, and Four Lanes.

Have you thought of joining WP:Cornwall? Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 09:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi again Felix, thanks for your additions to Four Lanes. Thanks, too, for the citation in the Forrabury article. Howevder, to make the citation visible, one needs to add the template { { reflist } } (but with no spaces) at the foot of the article, usually as the first item in the section 'External links'. Have another look at Forrabury and Minster and you will see the reflink as the last diff. Good work - keep it up. Best wishes, Andy F (talk)

Hi Felix, I notice you've been improving several of the Cornwall parish articles. I have just added coords to Advent, Cornwall and tidied it up but it needs further expansion (like the Forrabury article). If you can help, that'd be good. Best wishes Andy F (talk) 10:32, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

"Felix, you might like to...."

... consider starting new articles about the redlinked Cornish civil parishes in Template:Caradon navigation box and Template:North Cornwall navigation box. I've done a few myself and I know you have been very helpful in filling in detail on the parish articles I've contributed. All that's needed are short articles saying where the parish is, the principal settlements, the church and its coordinates and any notable features. If you have any queries, drop me a line on my talk page. Ta. Best wishes, Andy F (talk) 00:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Duchy of Cornwall

I note that you have added this image to Red-billed Chough. I've removed the forced image size since it overrides user preferences, and trimmed the caption to remove material irrelevant to the article. Could you please add alt text? Since it's an FA, new images should conform to the FA requirements. I'm not convinced about the licensing. If it's the current arms, I suspect it's not allowed for commercial use. I'll get back to you on that. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

==COA==

File:Cornwall Council.gif is copyright, but is licensed as "fair use" in the Cornwall Council article. That's fine, but it can't be used elsewhere, and certainly not in a bird article. The Duchy image was claimed as PD, which it clearly isn't, and can't be used at all - certainly not in a featured article - that why I got the FAC image assessor, Jappalang (whose comment is above yours) to check. The Becket coat of arms is OK, because it was his individual arms. As a priest he had no descendants, so any copyright has long since lapsed. Many COA images get through on dubious licenses, but have no chance at FA Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:23, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

contd at Jimfbleak jul 26 09

==Images==

Copyright on Wikipedia is a nightmare, not least because GFDL permits commercial use, so you can't upload on an education/Wikipedia only/non-commercial basis. This means that trademarks and logos can only be used under a "fair use" licence in an article closely related to the image. It's unlikely that organisations would give up their rights to the company images. In practice, many images are uploaded in good faith which probably shouldn't be, but in high profile featured articles like the chough page, they are certain to be challenged. I came across, in Northern Bald Ibis, a situation in which a phots of a 4000 year-old Egyptian hieroglyph was free use, but a similar one of a shallow relief was the copyright of the photographer because the object was technically three-dimensional Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:50, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

incidentally, a bot changed your posting of the image on my page to a link, because a talk page is not a fair use!!! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

It's a pity about Cornwall, because a good deal of work has been done on it, but a combination of under-referencing and its obvious lack of neutrality means that it has no chance at GAN or FAC Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Cornwall

Track leading to the barytes mine at White Coppice

I work on the Cornish pages quite a lot but there are very few really good ones in WP Cornwall and not many in class B I think. There are a few editors who keep trying to remove "England" when it comes after Cornwall: and the Constitutional history of Cornwall and Duchy of Cornwall articles are a problem as well. I suppose copying Cornish choughs onto another page within Cornwall is ok because they did not disappear afterwards but the County Council arms has more restrictions on use. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 23:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice: I have not had problems with any of these editors in my own work but of course the PageHistory and PageDiscussion shows up while I am having a go at something. There are only about 20 members and there is a consensus over the use of Cornwall, England or Cornwall, UK /Cornwall, United Kingdom. Then somebody goes and edits a Cornwall page and adds something useful but gets rid of 'England' or changes 'County of Cornwall' to 'Duchy of Cornwall' which does not describe the present situation. I wouldn't want to keep tabs pn pages as some editors to like to do because they upgraded it in the past they want to revert some of the new content. (I have had that happen in some WP Devon articles (I am not a member of that one but the early history of the area is very similar up to the 11th century). As far as I can see Cornwall is getting along quite well but I get reverting sometimes within Devon without explanation from one editor whow supervises the Category:Plymouth. I have no stored images to put in and use and have done nothing in Commons yet but search the odd time. Any advice you can provide? (There is a really good article at Breage which failed the promotion process).--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 21:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Dumnonia

I'm doing some work on a possible merged article covering Dumnonia, Kingdom of.., etc., at User:Ghmyrtle/sandbox6. I'd welcome your thoughts. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I have read through a recent version and it looks good. About Slaughterbridge there is also an idea that the battle of Gafulford was there. I wonder whether the hundred divisions of Cornwall are relevant as they could be interpreted as three petty kingdoms: Trigg, Wivel (under a lost Cornish name) and the western territory which was perhaps divided into four by Athelstan. The main problem of course is the lack of reliable facts and sketchy archaeology.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I've now put it up as the article, so further comments / changes are obviously welcome. I don't know enough about the Cornish hundreds, so if you have relevant info please add it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:55, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

PS- thanks for improving the reference formats - not my strong point! Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks (copied from my talk page) DuncanHill

Thanks for all you have done, you really have contributed a great deal to Wikipedia, and I for one am profoundly grateful.

Arthur stone

thumb|right|160px|A Month in the Country

The problem is that we can't just direct our readers to an anonymous posting on a Wikipedia talk page as if it were a reliable source of information. We have several policies speaking specifically against this, including Verifiability and No original research. I don't think the Arthurian legend is any harder to deal with than any other area, one just has to make sure to use good sources and attribute their claims correctly.--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:04, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

WP Cornwall / Admin

I have now seen what happened to Kodaly's eLinks and the article as a whole looks better: when I first saw it there were other problems as well. Even good articles can get better if studied from different viewpoints and modified a bit: perhaps then it will get noticed and upgraded some more. In Jan 2009 someone made an entry saying he was a leading 20th century composer and even now it is fairly modest as such articles go. Many of the projects seem to be under-resourced and they cannot work on everything all at once. Considered as a whole Cornwall articles are of a higher standard than much of the what is there for Devon: of course Exmoor, Dartmoor, Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay get impressive coverage but the area and population is greater for Devon. Cornwall tends to have places which are interesting for aspects which general standards do not fit very well. I am trying to do less editing for a while. It is not a good thing just carrying on as if it has to been done because it was not quite perfect. There are lots of things I do not understand about this project: you would think that the members' user pages would have some level of protection from other users in the way that controversial political figures do, perhaps at a higher level than this. I am not sure how important it is to have Sir John Maclean upgraded (obviously including him in Blisland is not theoretically correct but it does something more than make enquirers give up and do a WWW search. This account and the ones in DNB may be the only ones there are. (From here I can only get Oxford DNB Index entries not the full text as many other editors must have.)--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 11:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I can email ODNB articles to you if you like, as I have full online access with my library card, just ask! I agree that many of the wikiprojects are under-resourced - it's hard to know how to improve this at the moment. Cornwall does benefit from both a strong county identity and its major rôle in Britain's industrial development. It attracts the local historians, industrial historians, geologists and Celticists, so there is a wider range of interests and expertise applied to it than to some other places. DuncanHill (talk) 11:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Cornish Choughs

This would make a good stand-alone article, there's lots of material, but for the main article I had to leave much of it out to maintain balance. You might get away with a fair use of the council arms to illustrate the article. If there are persistent offenders edit-warring on Cornish articles, let me know. As an uninvolved admin, I am quite prepared to warn or block editors, or protect pages as appropriate Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, like I said, you don't have to tolerate unexplained reversions. I assume you mean Breage, Cornwall. It's under-referenced, rather short, no history and half of it's about Ashton. If you are aiming to upgrade any particular page to GA, or work up Cornish Chough, I'll do what I can to advise. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

It is not #Breage# the one it should be is #St Burian# (of course Breage is nowhere near good). St Burian was a very strong candidate from the record of the process but what I am doing is very diverse, rather than take over North Cornwall and climb the ladder towards rated articles. Another thing or things was going wrong with #Zoltan Kodaly# that got rv for Vandalism I DoNotKnow How. It looked like a real editor behaving like a #Bot# I'll just stay away from the Plymouth area and not add anything constructive to it from now on.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 06:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

St Buryans had a fairly tough GA assessment, but should copyedited and submitted again, it's obviously thereabouts. I think the rollback was probably due to the admin seeing your rather strange "zzzzzz" edit summary and assuming vandalism without checking the edit - can't see any other reason Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:52, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Comments re Kodaly, Plymouth, and Tintagel

The composer article seems fine now. Plymouth is good enough for "good article", but actually failed at the much higher standard of FA.

I looked at Tintagel and amended the headings and images. I don't think the image you have chosen is suitable, since it also shows Alpine Chough, which doesn't occur in the UK. Any of the images at Red-billed Chough would be OK, they are all correctly licensed for use on Wikipedia. Image:Eucharisticrenewalphoto.jpg is not correctly licensed. The person releasing it as public domain does not have the same name as the artist, and presumably is not the holder of the copyright. If the uploader photographed the painting, he should say so and use the {{PD-Art}} tag Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Emigration to Wales

There was some emigration of Cornish miners to South Wales. Robert Morton Nance is a notable example of one born in Wales to Cornish parents.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 16:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Do we have a source? Evidence of the size of migration? --Jza84 |  Talk  19:50, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I do not know of a source: Hamilton Jenkin's The Cornish Miner would be a place to look but I do have the book. The reliance of Cornwall on Wales for the smelting of ores is certainly documented.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:08, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

This shows that there are two associations of Welsh Cornish people: http://www.cornwall-online.co.uk/associat.htm--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm just concerned that we need only mention regions that have "significant" migrant populations. No doubt there are Cornish people in India and Scotland, but I don't know how large or notable that may be in terms of reporting on the article. --Jza84 |  Talk  16:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

I did mean to say "do not have the book": I would not put anything in now, I was following up the discussion re Tim Saunders above.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 21:14, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Recent discussion on Cornwall

The previous consensus seemed the best compromise to me but it is always liable to be disputed by some who think like British Watcher. No-one will ever know how many people born in Cornwall or resident in Cornwall think of themselves as Cornish, English or British or partly one and partly another. Even though I was born in Cornwall I do not think of myself as Cornish in the way people whose whole ancestry is Cornish (mine being from England). The new Cornish people article seems to have been a success so far.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:55, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I think the current wording of the para under discussion is a long way from perfect - but my suggestions to improve it just seem to lead to comments from the usual suspects that would leave it even worse than it is now. So, the "compromise" is to leave it as it is, I suppose.... Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

==Speedy deletion nomination of Camborne Town Band==

A tag has been placed on Camborne Town Band requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Alison Treganning

To Moonraker2: Thank you for your response: it looks as if the original creation of this as an article was misguided. I think your work on offical records proves at least that whatever was in circulation in 2006 has at the least been misrepresented. "Fluent Cornish" is a vague claim: without other speakers the extent of her knowledge is impossible to estimate even if there was such a person. I am not sure what should happen to the article history and the Talk page for it.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 20:57, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, I suppose, Alison Treganning would be unlikely to survive an AfD, but for now I see no harm in leaving the redirect (with page history) and the Talk page where they are. If both were deleted, then perhaps the contents of the Talk page could be moved somewhere else. Moonraker2 (talk) 21:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Mining in Cornwall and Devon

Hi Felix, there are a couple of broken refnames in the table of mine railways in Mining in Cornwall and Devon - they have refnames but no associated actual reference. Best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 00:53, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

The guide to referencing is at WP:CITE - I have an addition to my editing toolbar which makes it a lot easier, I'll try to find where I got it and let you know how to add it. I used to practice references in my sandbox till I got used to them.

If you let me know which article the table came from I could have a look and try to fix the refs for you if you like. DuncanHill (talk) 18:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

The toolbar extension is documented at User:Mr.Z-man/refToolbar - you can add it as a gadget through the "my preferences" link at the top of any page when you are logged in. I find it incredibly helpful. DuncanHill (talk) 18:05, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Kings of Cornwall (Early British Kingdoms)

Hey Felix, per Dougweller's request I have responded to your question at his talk page here.--Cúchullain ^t/c 13:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

You have said that "Early British Kingdoms" is not a reliable source: what would you recommend should used instead? Would printed books referring to saints and kings be generally more reliable? --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 17:19, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Felix. Doug has asked me to consider your question. There have been several discussions about David Nash Ford's Early British Kingdoms site and similar ones, (here, here, and especially here) and the general consensus has been that they are not reliable sources. Among the problems with "EBK" are that the author(s?) does not indicate where material in the articles is coming from. As such material taken from historical sources is syncretized with stuff taken from literature or folklore and presented as if it were all true. I would not say that printed books are inherently any better; as with anything you really have judge whether they're "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". Depending on what you're writing about, John Edward Lloyd's History of Wales, John Davies' A History of Wales, and John Koch's Celtic Encyclopedia are good sources, and will include some good stuff on early Cornish history.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I have also been unable to solve the problem of refs 36 & 37 on the Mining in Devon and Cornwall page. If you can help I would be grateful.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:59, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for trying on these problems. Tables like that make it more difficult for many users to keep them up-to-date. Perhaps copying the text for the source article into MS Word would make a word search possible on the refname. Thank you.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Felix, I've tried to add the details to the table, but can't make it work properly. I'm not terribly good at tables like that, you might be better of asking at the Help desk or Village pump.

As for the references in the Mining Article, I'll try again but unfortunately the refnames used are rather obscure, and the only way I can think of to find them is to read through the whole of the originating article (I think it was the Industrial railways one) in the edit box until I can find them.

Bodrean

Hi Felix, I noticed you redirected the article on Bodream Manor to St Erme where it was relegated to a passing down-page mention. Bodrean is notable enough to warrant its own article – certainly as notable as many places in the List_of_places_in_Cornwall. If we started merging them all it would undermine the WP:Cornwall intent to document the county in detail. There may be interesting material to add to the Bodrean article by an editor in future so the page should retain its independent existence. Andy F (talk) 10:51, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, I will add to the article some info about neighbouring Frogmore and its bridge across the Trevella Stream then create a new page Frogmore as a redir to Bodrean Andy F (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

OK Felix, I've added the info on Frogmore, given a grid ref and uploaded and placed a photo. I've created a new page Frogmore, Cornwall as a redir. Andy F (talk) 12:14, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Canworthy Water

Hi Felix, just to let you know that the page you created at Canworthy Water as a redirect to Warbstow now is an article about Canworthy Water in its own right.

"Speedy deletion of Thomas Boothby of Tooley"

A tag has been placed on Thomas Boothby of Tooley 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. T-95 (talk) 14:39, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

This article was speedily deleted as it was completely unsourced and did not demonstrate the notability of the subject. If you think you can create an article that is suitable on this subject, you can request the deleting admin or another admin such as myself copy the text back into your userspace so you can work on it. It would appear though that the individual would not meet the guidelines for inclusion for biographies and would not survive as a stand alone article as a result.

Keble College

I noticed your Keble userbox, and wondered whether you might be able to help. I've started work on a couple of Keble-related lists (Honorary Fellows and alumni) to match some similar Jesus College lists that I've done. Have you kept back issues of the Keble Record? I have a feeling that there are going to be some details where the internet just won't do, and where old-fashioned paper sources will be needed. I've got a second-hand copy of the 1970 Centenary Register, so I should be OK up to that point, but details for later students / dates of election to a Hon Fellowship (for example) may be a problem. Any help you might be able to give would be fantastic. (I don't need anything right at the moment; it's just a general query for now). Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 12:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I have got all the issues of the Record from the time I was at Keble i.e. 1964 onwards so would be able to help when you do start work.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 14:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! I wonder whether at some point in the next few months I could ask you to have a hunt for the following pieces of information, for the Honorary Fellows list (HFs):

• When did Lodwrick Cook get his HF, and why? I assume it was for donations to the college, but can't find anything online to confirm. At a guess, 1992 or 1993.
  • ARCO was a huge benefactor
    • Lodwrick M. Cook, chief executive of ARCO, according to The Record 1993.
• Same questions for Ghillean Prance. At a guess, 1992 or 1993, for donations.
  • Ghillean Tolmie Prance, President Ronald Reagan, Stephen Desmond Watkins, Bryan Edgar Magee: all appear for the first time in The Record 1994
• Same questions for Victoria de Breyne. At a guess, it was 2001 or 2002, for donations to the college
  • Certainly André Felix de Breyne gave large amounts during his lifetime
  • Victoria Benz was his 2nd wife (for 25 years) and outlived him; col. portrait of André and Victoria de Breyne in The Record 1994. Victoria appointed Hon Fellow from May 2002 according to The Record 2002; listed later as Victoria Grace de Breyne (still in list 2008).
• Same questions for James Martin. At a guess, 2003 to 2005, for donations.
  • James Thomas Martin first appears as an Hon Fellow in 2005 (no obvious reason)
• When did Howard Nixon get it? He hadn't got it by 1970 and he died in 1983, if that helps.
  • Granted in Dec 1980 according to his obituary notice in The Record 1983, p. 22-23
• Who is Richard Thornton, and why was he given an HF (at a guess, in the mid-80s)?
  • Richard Chicheley Thornton first appears as an Hon Fellow in The Record 1987
• Similarly, who is Stephen Watkins, and why was he given an HF (at a guess, in about 1992 or 1993)?
  • See above, Prance
• Similarly, who is George Robinson, and why was he given an HF in 2002?
  • First listed as Hon Fellow in The Record 2003: George Robinson, BA (no obvious reason); appears later as George Edward Silvanus Robinson http://www.rateitall.com/i-2063053-george-edward-silvanus-robinson.aspx
• When was David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn given his HF? At a guess, late 80s.
  • Lord Wilson first appears as an Hon Fellow in The Record 1987
• Does the Record say why John Betjeman was given an HF in 1974?
  • This is before a complete list of all Fellows is printed: that was the time of the Centenary Appeal and he appears as one of 13 "Friends" in an appeal leaflet. His role within the Victorian Society and his writings on architecture must have been the reasons for an Hon Fellowship. 1975 issue notes that Betjeman, an Hon Fellow has been given an Hon D.Litt. by the University of Dublin.
• Does the Record say why Ronald Reagan was given an HF in 1994? Seems a surprising choice!
  • No mention of why he was chosen; see above, Prance. The Record 2004 prints a half-page obituary notice: Reagan visited Keble in 1992 and was principal guest at a lunch also attended by Lord Jenkins, Chancellor of the University; Hon Fellow from 1994.
• Did the Record print an obituary for Andre de Breyne? He looks as though he should be notable, but I can't find much about him. Any information about his wife/widow Victoria?
  • Probably widow and very aged; certainly appears in Record
    • Obituary of de Breyne in The Record 1998, pp. 29-31 & port. as fp. A Belgian but in Britain since 1914: had a leading role in Standard Industrial Trust Ltd. 1st wife Catherine d. 1971, no children. Notable art collector.
• Did the Record print an obituary for Alfred Hans von Engel (died 1992)? Again, he looks notable, but difficult to find out details for.
  • Funeral address for him (he died 2 October 1991) in The Record 1992 gives 1980 as the date of his Hon Fellowship. Retrospective tribute by Raoul Franklin in The Record 2002, pp. 9-11, explains his family background, etc. (earlier listings for him as Fellow have: Alfred Hans Engel de Janosi)

There is of course absolutely no rush for any of this information, and any help you can give would be very gratefully received. For the "when and why" info, all I'd need in addition to the info is the details of the Record in question: year, page, section title and (if given) author. For the "who is / obituary" questions, if there's enough to make a stab at an article, I'll gladly have a go if you can give me the material (do you have a scanner?) The Featured List process likes lists to have articles rather than redlinks, but if the people in question aren't "notable" in the Wikipedia sense, so be it. Hope this all makes sense. Regards, and best wishes, Bencherlite^Talk 20:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. Nixon is in Who Was Who but neither that nor his obituary in The Times gives the date of his HF. Look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

List of Honorary Fellows of Keble College, Oxford

Many thanks for your help with some references a few months ago. I've now finished the list, more-or-less, and moved it to main space. My plan is to nominate it at Featured List candidates in a little while, once the current list that I've got up there (Savilian Professor of Geometry, since you ask) is cleared for promotion. Would you object if I listed you as a co-nominator in return for the help you've given to date? (And also just in case there's some more help I need from you if there are any queries!) Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 22:41, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps before we get to FLC, you can help with a few minor missing things that I'm sure will be noted by reviewers. Do you have the page number and section title (e.g. "Letter from the Warden", "(List of) Honorary Fellows") mentioning the award of Hon Fellowship to:

• David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn, from the 1987 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 9

• Lodwrick Cook, from the 1993 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 11

• Ghillean Prance, from the 1994 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 75

• Desmond Watkins, from the 1994 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 75

• Victoria de Breyne, from the 2002 Record

College elections and appointments, on p. 67

• Ronald Reagan, from the 2004 Record

College elections and appointments, 1994, on p. 75

The life of the College, 2004; "Ronald Reagan, Honorary GCB" on p 15

• James Martin, from the 2005 Record

he appears as last in the list of HFs on p. 74 but is not listed under College elections and appointments

If you give me the details, I can add them into the list. Many thanks, Bencherlite^Talk 13:50, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

"Tattoo image placement"

I reverted your recent change to Tattoo. To my mind, the image of a mummified tattoo makes much more sense within the article flow next to the history section of the article. That introduces a discussion of "ancient" tattooing, and the Scythian examples seems to illustrate that. I don't feel passionately about the placement, but please discuss on Talk:Tattoo why you think the rearrangement would be an improvement to see if there is any agreement from other editors).

I removed this and then got interrupted: not sure where in article but /Trivia/ sections need sorting out as a serious encyclopedia needs to be the opposite of trivial. --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:17, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia sections often only mean that the content has been added haphazardly; it doesn't mean all the information is worthless; they can usually be integrated properly. And Wikipedia is simply an encyclopedia, not a "serious encyclopedia". :-) [As for being the opposite of trivial... let's say you lost that battle years ago.)

Thanks for populating talk pages

I created a few more namelist pages this morning (eg Oddbjørn, Øivind, Sørlie, etc) and was delighted to find that you’ve conscientiously and systematically populated their talk pages. Just had to pop by and say thanks! Cheers… Hebrides (talk) 10:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the message: it was good to find some worthwhile contributions among the mass of poor quality entries on the New Articles listing.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 15:02, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

F. W. Ratcliffe "I edited your sandbox"

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I edited your sandbox User:Felix Folio Secundus/Sandbox. I added colons to the Category tags so that you could still see them, but so that your sandbox will not appear in those categories. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 19:44, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk pages

Hi, please never ever edit other people's contributions on talk pages, as you did here. Other than in articles, what people write on talk pages is their own opinion, written in exactly the way they wanted it written. It is not up to you (or me, or anyone else) to decide that they really wanted to write something different than they did. This and other rules of conduct are spelled out in more details in the Wikipedia Talk page guidelines. Thanks for your understanding. --Latebird (talk) 22:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry about the unwanted editing on the Mongols: I will avoid doing this in future.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:43, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Commercial interest

{{helpme}} List of hospitals in South Africa has "Infection Control within the hospitals and community Company Profile Of Vernacare, etc." which should not be allowed I think just as WWW links to suppliers would not be. Is there anything recommended apart from deleting it myself?--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 03:20, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

None of those articles should have external links; links to external sites should only be used either a) as footnote references, or b) in an "External links" section, subject to the policy WP:EL. Feel free to be bold and fix such things; see also WP:BRD.  Chzz  ►  03:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your categorisation there, I had trouble to place it. I did my best, but thanks for improving it.

Best wishes Si Trew (talk) 15:54, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I reverted your change to the note, because I think you put it clumsily. No prob with what you are trying to say, but can we agree how to say it? Si Trew (talk) 22:00, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

=== Vofely ===

Sorry my bad there as I use Hungarian keyboard and totally cocked it up, doing English. So my bad there.

What I was trying to say is that in Hungary one gets married and has to conduct the ceremony in civil law before or after the ceremony, compared to e.g. Chruch of england when th service is enacted in law and one does not need another service. How best to put this? I am not sure about the Church in Wales or the Church of Scotland (the Kirk), and I imagine in the US it varies from state to state.

I checked this article over with my Hungarian mssus and she reckons it is better than the Hungarian one. The original contributor is a professional and added it for himself. I removed that attribution, cos it smacks of WP:PROMO. He aded it back actually after I edited it, he placed is name again after the little poem, which Iput into English ryhme and not very well. So if it is anybody's it is mine, not his. But we don't do that on wikipedia,it is everybody's.

Si Trew (talk) 12:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC) PS You know why they write "fuck the pope" on toilet walls? Cos the cannot be bothered to write "fuck the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland"

Folk rock

I've added it to my watchlist and will try to devote some time to improving it - but the first change I've made was to revert one of your earlier changes (which we can discuss if necessary). Basically, the US and UK parts of the article need a lot of beefing up, in my view. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I do have the Oxford Companion book, and also have a couple of Richie Unterberger's books which cover this area well - as well as many others with a wider scope. Given my time commitments I expect I'll be approaching this incrementally with a series of edits over time, rather than as a single one-off project. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Packaging and Labeling

You had added Packaging and labeling to the business project. That is fine: packaging has some relationship to business, and several other major topics too. My question is why you judged this article to be of only a Start class and of Low importance. Please justify these low rating on what I consider to be a relatively good article. Rlsheehan (talk) 16:46, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. Your rating of Start implies that this article has just started and needs (in your opinion) much work to improve. Please explain. I am not aware of your checklist and your list of specific shortcomings of the article. Please be specific about the areas that you believe need work - - - better yet, please provide constructive edits for others to consider. Rlsheehan (talk) 21:54, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(1) Hello, I have had another look at it and think I would rate it at C. Most of my work is with history, language, etc. Possibly it could be given a B rating once it had been checked off against the B class checklist.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 18:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

(2) I think you have a diferent idea about how assessment can be done: articles in different projects do not have to be assessed in a particular way, e.g. WP:Military History has stricter procedures than most projects. This is some information about making sure that B class is the right rating Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/B-class FAQ but as a non-member of WP:Business I am not familiar with the way things are done there. You can just assess it again at a higher level of class and/or importance.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 08:47, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Peter Fox

[Message on Bencherlite\Talk]

Thanks for your message. I can email you a copy of his entry in Who's Who if you like. Given the status of the librarians, I don't see why a list of them shouldn't be spun out of the CUL article to match the Featured List Bodley's Librarian. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 14:56, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your offer of Who's Who details. I decided to added the Peter Fox article and see what happens next as I believe the information to be valid even though Latin WP is not allowed as a reliable source here. In depth coverage of the long series of CUL librarians would be a worthwhile project for somebody but I won't be doing it. I have just done two: F. W. Ratcliffe, and now Peter Fox. The Bodleian now has a very good set of articles. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 05:56, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Chauncy Maples

Thank you for your work on dividing the article: it looks much better now.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 16:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC) (to Wwheaton)

Hi, I will try to take a look, and respond as time allows. Unfortunately this is pretty far off my main line of expertise and knowledge, so I probably will not be able to do much either. Anyway, I will keep both articles watch-listed. Thanks, Wwheaton (talk) 17:28, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, I have made a feeble effort and restoring us to two articles. I reverted User:Anments (talk)'s last two edits and edited enough to make the scope of each article clear, as well as leaving parallel explanatory messages on both article talk pages. I also left Anments a message asking him to refrain from altering the scope without consensus on the talk pages. I also hard-coded in an "otheruses" msg on the article about the person, as the otheruses4 template was misbehaving and producing a red link, probably a side effect of the mix-up. If you get a chance to shuffle material around that would be good, as I think it needs work, As you say, the material is fairly large and complex, and I have no expertise at all beyond what has been in the article(s). Cheers, Wwheaton (talk) 19:14, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

So "two heads are better than one" it seems, proved once again; and we are a co-operative species, on which much of our success depends. Hope Anments is OK with it all, we'll see. Cheers, Bill Wwheaton (talk) 20:59, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Antonio del Corro and others: "Inquisition book of somebody"

Hi you have written this on my talk-site: Re: Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus. The Antonio del Corro article maintains that he is Reginaldus. I left this comment there "Different opinion: there is now a new article at Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus which expresses a different view.... Perhaps you could investigate this.

Ok, I study a little bit theologie. So I came from this side to the article: Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus. Step 1: First I have written the german article and an english Revision of Reina-Valera. (By this work I looked on the spanish wikipedia-site). Step II. I made the german site of Casiodoro de Reina and an english revision. (By this work I looked again on the spanish wikipedia-site). On the history of this site Casiodoro de Reina I can see that you have seen this. (Thanks for the mistake correction.) On the word "rigidity" in this article you can see that somebody (before me) used the spanish wikipedia site of this article. This sentence: ... rigidity of the Consistory to be salutary. I suppose is not very good to understand.

So, you have seen that this information was on this site before I came. But now Sources were I find this oppinion too:

1. Erich Wenneker: REINA, Cassiodoro di. In: Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirchenlexikon (BBKL). Band 7, Herzberg 1994, ISBN 3-88309-048-4, Sp. 1524–1528.

look on the section works of the article Cassiodoro de Reina.

2. in the text: [http://www.ritmanlibrary.nl/c/r/pdf/castellio_widerstand1-gilly.pdf PDF: Sebastan Castellio und der politische Widerstand gegen Philipp II. von Spani

you can read that this is common error - can you german?

(in Hermann Dechent: Reina. In: Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (ADB). Band 27, Duncker & Humblot, Leipzig 1888, S. 720–723. a very good source, is nothing to read about the inquistion etc.)

now I will look into the internet to find something about the problem. (my next article would be a german site about the mathew bible).

mfg Soenke Rahn with friendly greetings Soenke Rahn (talk) 14:24, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, now I have made revisions of the articles: Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus and Antonio del Corro. I hope it's Ok so. To the: "... It would be hard for me to read the Spanish and my German is only a little vocabulary. ...", I suppose that I can help if there are questions. with friendly greetings Soenke Rahn (talk) 14:24, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I looked to the article Antonio del Corro. A lot of changes. But I suppose that this article has a lot of mistakes. I hope that I will find the time to translate the article next week. Then I will see. Yes my citation is an old one, but yes there are a lot of standards and sigh ... sigh, sigh. The last two days I have made an article to David Daniell (an Oxford-Prof(essor)) - I have made a translation under: David Daniell (author). Possible you can look about it. with friendly greetings --Soenke Rahn (talk) 23:51, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, yes his birthday, but I don't found him in my books or in the Internet. Possible, anybody will find his birthday in the book: Who is who?. Living person - yes that sound possible but David Daniell is very old and since a long time in pension. But, yes it's possible to say he is a living person. Ok, the thing with the thesis. Yes, words are instruments, but it's true that from on university to an another these instruments are different, in Germany too. But in German These would be the right word because: A well known theses are the 95 Theses of Martin Luther. This is a good example for Thesis. About a thesis you can hold a discussion and if you don't believe the thesis you have to falsificate it. You have to say, why is the thesis false. So is it with this thesis too. David Daniell says it's clear that he is right, but he comes with pieces of circumstantial evidences (german Indizien) and not with evidences. So you can say it's possible that he is right. (By the way, and this is nothing for Wikipedia - he makes mistakes I know it because he translated here and there german texts false, and so on) Ok, in the article to the Matthew bible wrote that this thesis so are it's Facts, but I think that's not right and not false. Opinion for thesis would be, I think not good ... because it's to soft. In german These = thesis is the rigt word. We don't use thesis often, and it may be that there exist a lot of definitions in germany too, but I suppose for a german text it's the right word. I looked in my New Oxford English Dictionary, but thesis seems to be right. Other dictionarys says the same. Ok, possible you are right and you have a better idea. ... Morrow I will see that I will make the german translation to the Mathew Bible. The Mathew Bible is very beautiful book, with fine images. I have a facsimile.--Soenke Rahn (talk) 23:53, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks the David Daniell article looks better now. Good work! The Who's Who I put in the section with the general sources (or general references) not into the section with the notes. I think this would be OK so. But I can not make it precise. The same is it with the book of Fox. The footnote with the booktitle was a revision of me. I am sure that the writer of this sentence means this book. The book is often quoted in this context. So it is clear. But in the moment I can not say which edition and page and so on. Very good link to Casiodoro de Reina, I will put it to the external links. But such section would be interesing for books which are not a source, but a advice to read. The question to "evangelic" / "evangelical" is a little delicate and complex topic. Write me an email I will answer. Ineresting Link: Stephen Joseph Studio. I will see that I will make a translation of this site. Is Manchester beautiful? wfg. --Soenke Rahn (talk) 17:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Bede, the Venerable

Felicitous catch, Felix. It looks like some ambitious and knowledgeable editor should move much of the discussion of the HE into the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum article, and provide a summary in this article that focuses on those elements that show how the HE embodies/reflects Bede's achievements and less on the HE itself. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 20:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello Felix. Thanks for your copyedit of my creaky English. I appreciate it.

Antonín Vejvančický (talk) 07:21, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

The Czech title of magazine "Art" is "Umění". It's published in Czech/German/English, unfortunately this article (No. 5, 2004) is in Czech language. Thanks for pointing out the problem with the term "author", I fixed it. --Vejvančický (talk) 13:10, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Weimarer Ausgabe

Moin Moin (how we say in the north of Germany for good morning), Yes, the article to the Weimarer Ausgabe looks better now. Thanks for the revision and mistake correction. I suppose that the list of content is not complete so I suppose that your correction " - Z" is not right. But, I will go to the library and will see what is. ... - The evangelic, evangelical and Lutheran - definition on the german wikipedia site "evangelisch" and "Evangelikalismus" I think is not complete and so not quite right. By the way, the anglican church has an lutheran theology, with a lutheran tradition, but is not a lutheran church. Typical lutheran would be the usage of the small catechism of Martin Luther. But the theology is in the sense of Martin Luther and so it is an evangelic church. But how I say the definition is a difficult problem, and I have good reasons that I will not write in the wikipedia about this problem, because to say the right think is sometimes false and language is changing. ... The town were I live, Flensburg is a little town on the border to denmark. Today the sun is shining, but often the weather is wet, too - this is the autumn. I suppose that you now that England means Land of Angles. The region round about Flensburg is called Angeln. So you can say that I live in Angelnland.

Mügeln and Heinrich von Mügeln

Hello Felix, I looked on the article. The first version is like the version which you have edited. The first version comes from an antonym User-IP. I saw that the word "lock" should be castle. This is interesting because: lock means Schloss, schließen. But German Schloss means, how I say, castle too. The etymological explanation is that a castle locked (in medieval times) a street into a valley etc. (so that robbers had no chance to kill people in the dale). Nobody, which learns a little bit English, would translate this (so) false. So I suppose this translation was made by (or with) a translation machine, like the babel fish. (I gave this statement in my minor edit of this article.) I suppose it would be the best when you will send me the article with underscored (not readable) passages or if it is not to big, place the passages on my discussion-site. I am not sure, but I suppose that 30 percent or more of this article is not readable for an English native speaker. Are you interested on the German article to Heinrich von Mügeln? I like the Middle High German Topic. It would be interesting for me to translate this article into English.--Soenke Rahn (talk) 22:26, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello Felix, I editied the Mügeln site a second time. Sometimes I laughed about the false babel fish translation of the article. In the moment in Flensburgh it is dark and it rains again. And it is windy and cold. - ask again - best greetings --Soenke Rahn (talk) 18:54, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

History of Christianity

I have been dividing the overlong article into three: I would have made notes at the end of the first article pointing forward, etc.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 05:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

That is a bit too bold. Please discuss first at Talk: History of Christianity and seek WP:CON. Thanks. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 05:25, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Please move History of Christianity back to that location. While we could split it in three-- Wikipedia does need a main article on the History of Christianity. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 05:29, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

So, Felix Folio Secundus, how about moving History of early Christianity to Early history of Christianity, and then recreating Medieval history of Christianity and Modern history of Christianity , but sure leave this page intact (except you are more than welcome to help cut its lenght and add links to the new article.) It would seem best to me to let the Modern history of Christianity cover the time after that covered by the Reformation/Counter-Reformation articles. (Please reply on that talk page.) ^{Carlaude:Talk} 11:22, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

The most useful one would probably be the Modern history of Christianty from the Enlightenment till the present time. The Middle Ages are perhaps not so good a way of describing ecclesiastical history and the overlaps might be hard to manage. Concern has been expressed by others that the Christianity by centuries articles are not a good idea but eliminating them would also be a considerable task. I will not do anything immediately and hope to consider it later. Your slimmer version of the main article is certainly a move in the right direction.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it's apprpriate to have a comment about Islam in the very first paragraph in an article concerned mainly and primarily about Christianity in the 21st century. It just seems downright obsessive and nasty, since there seems to be an unhealthy fixation about Muslims in certain academic and intellectual circles. There are also many other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism that are in a deep mode of opposition to Christianity at the present time. On the contrary, I feel that it is not so much other religions that pose a threat to Christianity, but rather radical secularism and liberalism, who simply want to annihilate religion altogether in a new post-modern globalist political sphere known as the New World Order.

Antike Bibliotheken

Hello again, I came back to the German WP today and have been trying to understand what is said about the Imperial Library of Constantinople. " Man hat vermutet, dass zu dieser Zeit in Konstantinopel die Papyrusrollen auf Pergamentkodizes umgeschrieben wurden, wie es für die theologische Bibliothek von Caesarea Maritima (in Judäa) bezeugt ist." Perhaps you could explain what this really says for me so I can get the English article right. English WP has a long section on the Caesarea library under [[Pamphilus of Caesarea] but it does not help. Thank you for working on the John Rylands Library article (n.b. "John Rylands" is the correct name; "Ryland" is used as a surname in English but his family were called "Rylands", the library perpetuates his name as his children all died in his lifetime. Best wishes.--Felix Folio Secundus 13:27, 19. Feb. 2010 (CET)

Hello, today I am sitting on the Computer of my father and I am looking out of the window. A lot of snow you can see. Ok, in the moment I take time to make some edits on the wikipedia again. My work on the Duden is not complete but I got a little bit time, this decreased the stress. So I will see: "Man hat vermutet, dass zu dieser Zeit in Konstantinopel die Papyrusrollen auf Pergamentkodizes umgeschrieben wurden, wie es für die theologische Bibliothek von Caesarea Maritima (in Judäa) bezeugt ist." means short translated into english: "(Some) People supposed, that in this time, the named papyrus rolls werde new written in pergament codices." Here is important to know that in this time Or context you must say a Codex means book. Yes realy a book, a bonded book with pages. Ok, now I will translated the entire sentence: "Man hat vermutet, dass zu dieser Zeit in Konstantinopel die Papyrusrollen auf Pergamentkodizes umgeschrieben wurden, wie es für die theologische Bibliothek von Caesarea Maritima (in Judäa) bezeugt ist." = "People supposed, that in this time in Constantinopel, the named papyrus rolls werde new written in pergament codices, like it was made with theological books of the library of Caesarea Maritima (in Judea).

Re: Imperial Library of Constantinople

Thank you for the update on your work, I really appreciate it :).

I think that the article is really starting to look better, especially with your edits to it. I was looking through your edits and all of them have really improved the readability and flow of the article. It could use a few more references, but sometimes those are hard to come by; and you tagged the article already so that has a better chance of getting fixed.

Thank you for your hard work and for the update,

Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 03:11, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the translation: I have added a note about it in the discussion of Pamphilus of Caesarea. I would need to find which writer provided the attestation before it goes into the articles which might be difficult.

"Speedy deletion of Lilly Christine"

A tag has been placed on Lilly Christine 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Camanda (talk) 02:36, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
