Calling any of my '''friends''' who know anything about the above subject? If you do, I need you to head over and help me at ] where I am struggling - you’ll see the section I mean. We need short a précis of any state that was a British colony before 1649 and it needs to be written by an editor who can stop at 1649. Casual page stalkers studying their neighbour’s cousin’s great great arch grandfather arriving in or after 1649 are not required, no matter how valiantly they fought Red Indians, Eskimos, Cowboys, Mexicans or whatever the locals were currently called. I have a feeling we could have a collaborative new FA here, but it needs a lot of effort and patience.

We are digressing, yes, we need fashion and politics (I’ve sort of started that bit) and Catholic persecution. Shame the Maryland experiment went wrong. I had never heard of that.

She had 5 daughters, a few of whom married into...uhm, certain families (not my Mom - she went Irish/French).

Hordes of en:WP editors are far better equipped to improve this section, or any section, than I am.

Talk:Duke of San Donato

This talk page has remained protected since May 2011, when you were involved in the discussion. Since that month there has been only one edit. Is there a reason that it should remain protected? 67.180.143.89 (talk) 22:29, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

I think you may be confusing Giano with another editor, and in any case, Giano has not edited since last August. I have unprotected that talk page. Cullen328 (talk) 22:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

  • An intelligent person would leave that disgraceful episode in Misplaced Pages’s ancient history firmly buried in the past. The posting of that far from private email wasn’t the disgrace. The disgrace was why it was necessary to post it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.29.238.45 (talk) 19:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
