''The Misplaced Pages philosophy can be summed up thusly: "Experts are scum." For some reason people who spend 40 years learning everything they can about, say, the Peloponnesian War -- and indeed, advancing the body of human knowledge -- get all pissy when their contributions are edited away by Randy in Boise who heard somewhere that sword-wielding skeletons were involved. And they get downright irate when asked politely to engage in discourse with Randy until the sword-skeleton theory can be incorporated into the article without passing judgment.''

Hi, I've put ] up at FLC and been challenged to give a full reference for the quote "It has been described as the most beautiful house in England" about ]. See ] for the discussion. This may be a long shot but I was wondering if you had the further details of the article in the Telegraph?&mdash; ] <sup>]</sup> 18:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
::yes the reference is listed - a copy of country life from 1920something - I have a copy of the original, but Waugh did not say it, it wa said by Christopher Husey. ] (]) 18:28, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
::ah pehaps he did, I have the Telegraph cutting somewhere - I think Waugh was referring to Hussey. I'll dig it out. ] (]) 18:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
::as is typical, I can find every cutting but the one I want: I see I gave the full quote in the conclusion "''Last week we learnt that the most beautiful house in Somerset has been sold.....it is sad of course for the family who owned it who had made a valiant effort to keep it going ..it did not succeed as a showpiece: they had run out of money, the internal decorations were dreadful, and they lacked the proper kit to make it look like anything more than a prep school on open day. '''So now the most beautiful house in England''' will be a private family home once again..''" along with a full reference. It is possible I mistranscribed, but not likely, especialy as the a lead fact like that I ould have double and treble checked. I don't see what further references onc can give for a columnist, writing his own column in a national newspaper - are back editions on-line or available anywhere? I will keep searching, it should ne here somewere. ] (]) 19:23, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Thanks for looking - I have similar problems with my filing systems. I presume the quote marks in the excerpt above are yours as they do not appear in the ] article which makes me think it may be Waugh original rather than quoting ] (but ref 27 is no more helpful than ref 1 for my search). ] has found which ascribes it to Hussey, maybe I'll just use that for now.
:::BTW have you thought any more about getting Brympton d'Evercy to GA/FAC?&mdash; ] <sup>]</sup> 19:51, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
::Relax, I have found the cutting, I knew I had it somewhere. I am quite correct the quote is spot on - it os Page 17 of Monday, August 31. 1992. Daily Telgraph. Oh and the website is wrong - hussey does not say that at all - he implies, but does not say it. I have his article in full - the quote is 100% Waughs. ] (]) 19:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Brilliant I'll change it back again, but do you have the title of the article?&mdash; ] <sup>]</sup> 20:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
::The column is called Way of the World. The section header was "But life goes on." On a lighter note, I don't care for that website and would certainly not consider getting married myself in a "]", however historic! Suggest you stick with my reference.] (]) 20:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Tis done. Thanks again. Do you want me to add the formatted cite to Brympton d'Evercy (as an inline cite)?&mdash; ] <sup>]</sup> 20:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Have you had a chance to read Christopher Hitchens' piece "The Lovely Stones" in ''Vanity Fair''? I know you have a passion for architecture, and I thought of you as I read it. It's about the English plundering of Greek architecture during the colonial period, and the effects it still has today. ] 15:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

*Never fear, for I have found . It's regarding the mutilation done by the looting of Lord Elgin in 1812 of various adornments of the Parthenon. I think you'll enjoy it. I know I did. ] 19:00, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Giano, you can't say things like . "So in the interest of the project fuck off from this page and shut the fuck up!" is far from what is acceptable behaviour for any user here. If you don't like what someone has said, however provoked you feel, you need to express your concern in a much more collegial manner. The incivility you used in the above example merely lessens the impact of your words. ''']<sup>See ] or ]</sup>''' 18:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

== I've asked Arbom a couple questions that relate to you ==

I really think that comments like the one you left on Bishonen‎'s talk page are way over the line. I've asked for comment on the Arbcom talk page for their opinions. Sucks because you used to be on of the editors I respected the most, but now it's just gone sideways somehow. ] (]) 18:19, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
