Line of succession to the British Throne

Hi, was just thinking it would be much much better if Harry was listed somewhere in the title?? It got me a little confused when it said Henry. No doubt would confuse other people, plus most sources listed as it was edited. If your still not happy then leave it :-)

Still trying to work out how that happened, was going to revert it but u beat me to it :-) the university here uses a static IP for all the computers :-(

Mary Boleyn

Hi. No doubt there is some reason why you have elevated Mary Boleyn to "Lady" status, but I can't see what it is ??? Deb 18:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

That's not correct. See my notes at the beginning of the article's talk page. Deb 21:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Deb 21:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Naming conventions

Hi Craigy - Can you please advise on Misplaced Pages naming conventions? For a recent stub I used the form already set up as a red-link: Henry Bickersteth, 1st Baron Langdale, but the "1st" looks a bit odd to me since he was the only one. (The ODNB, NPG and others leave out the "first"). Thanks --HJMG 09:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for your answer - saved me having to read the rules for myself! --HJMG 13:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Francis Talbot

Hello,

Thank you for correcting my edit of the Francis Talbot, 11th Earl of Shrewsbury article. Of course they would have dueled with swords - I should have known better.

Regards,

Fair use rationale for Image:Qu&DoE Wedding.png

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Qu&DoE Wedding.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oden 09:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh great expert on the peerage...Lady Wentworth/Lady Anne question

Is Ada King-Milbanke, Baroness Wentworth is same person as Ada Lovelace?

I ask in part because I am trying to figure out why Lady Anne was not Lady Wentworth for most of her life...I had heard that she obtained the Wentworth title very late in life, just before she herself passed on, in fact...? If Ada King-Milbanke is not the same person, then what WAS her relationship to Lady Anne and how did Lady Anne get the title to pass on to her daughter Judith??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Montanabw (talk • contribs) 20:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

<< I've included a diagram if that helps.>> DIAGRAM??? ARRGGHH! <grin> Well, actually, yes, it did help. Looks like the short answer is that Ada Lovelace died before her mother did, so that makes sense. Thanks! Montanabw 04:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Alexandre Frota

Hi. I notice you've made edits in the past to the Alexandre Frota article. I've expressed several concerns about the article on its Talk page; please take a moment to read them and help edit the article to meet Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines, or it may be deleted.

(If your edits were strictly of the maintenance variety, and this information doesn't interest you, please pardon any perceived intrustion.)

Thanks.—Chidom   02:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Change to Common.css

Per recent discussions, the way in which Persondata is viewed by Misplaced Pages editors has changed. In order to continue viewing Persondata in Misplaced Pages articles, please edit your user CSS file to display table.persondata rather than table.metadata. More specific instructions can be found on the Persondata page. --ShakingSpirit on behalf of Kaldari 00:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

John Arbuthnott, 16th Viscount of Arbuthnott

Should he be described as GCStJ in line 1 ? - Kittybrewster 21:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

G St J or GC St J ? - Kittybrewster 21:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I did take it

The building does look like this from the angle it was taken at. It is almost finished apart from the front end. It is a fine quality for wikipedia. Rasillon 18:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The image of the empire is from the BBC so I'll sort the tag out if you tell me how, are you an admin anyway?

Well that was fun, wasn't it! The image of the Empire wasn't taken from the BBC.. it originated from Commons (it was taken by yours truly, so I was able to identify it fairly quickly). He did the same with the Centre of Life photo. We'll just have to keep an eye on him... I trust his defense team will coach him appropriately. The JPS 19:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Defense team, oh god, I'm not going to do anything wrong. Rasillon 18:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Mary of Teck

On 7th January, you inserted a reference for the statement, "the only people to complain about the arrangements were the royal servants, who found the house too small." on the above page. I have checked the reference cited (Burke's, 107th ed.) and failed to find this information. Could you recheck the edition and page number, and re-insert the reference with it? Thanks.

John Maclean & L'Estrange Malone.

I'd like to take issue with you over Maclean's departure from the BSP. It is true that he was dubious about L'Estrange Malone. But the BSP effectively excluded Maclean (at a meeting in 1920) because he also distrusted Rothstein and said so. My sources?. Basil Thomson's reports DJ 19:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

=============

Did I Get it wrong ?

Sorry. I thought you had posted the modifications to L'Estrange Malone. There has always been an argument amongst socialists about Maclean's excusion from the BSP. So if it's alright with you, I'll post my version and see what happens. DJ 12:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Elizabeth, Duchess of Hamilton

Firstly, a peer does not have a surname as he/she IS the name. Secondly, forgetting about peerages, if the above lady were referred to in 'socialist' terms she would be Elizabeth Ivy Douglas-Hamilton, or Elizabeth Percy if she so chose not to take her husband's name. She certainly is not Elizabeth Hamilton, Duchess of Hamilton. This lady was born "Lady Elizabeth Ivy Percy", then married and became the "Marchioness of Clydesdale" latterly the "Duchess of Hamilton", the only surname this lady has ever had in proper terms is Percy. If, according to the somewhat questionable manual of style she must have a qualifier, it should be that of her maiden name as she does not possess a surname. Sorry I'm moving this page back. Brendandh 09:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Violet Bathurst, Lady Apsley

Do you have a source for Violet Bathurst, Lady Apsley having a CBE? The only source I have says an OBE: see Talk:Violet Bathurst, Lady Apsley. --BrownHairedGirl 23:25, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:High Shrievalties

Hi, I have seen that you have not included the Irish High Shrievalties of for example County Waterford, County Tipperary or County Monaghan. Was this intention? And can we perhaps make this up? Greetings ~~ Phoe _talk 20:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC) ~~

I have it expanded a little bit . Perhaps you may want to have a look on it, to see, what I have forgotten. ~~ Phoe _talk 08:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC) ~~

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Queen - Breakthru.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Queen - Breakthru.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Robert_Gascoyne-Cecil,_7th_Marquess_of_Salisbury

While you're technically right, he did sit in the HoL by virtue of his barony of Cecil he was never (bar the writ itself and suchlike) known in the house by that title but by his courtesy title. As how he sat is explained later in the article I think perhaps Proteus's rvt is reasonable. Alci12 16:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Archibald Douglas, 4th Baron Blythswood

Thank you for all your hard work. The article in question, although titled "Douglas", refers to "Archibald Campbell". I know not which is correct. I have noted this on the article's talk page - please feel free to eliminate that talk-page comment when/if you get around to correcting this. No reply needed. Respectfully, BenedictX 21:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Georgeofgreece.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Georgeofgreece.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jkelly 23:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Norman Stronge

Please can you identify the medal round his neck? - Kittybrewster 16:07, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Lord Jellicoe

I think you rather over did your removals. It would be nice if you would justify your 'vandalism' please. For example, you removed one picture of the subject himself. The Junkers were the very models refered to, as was the ship of the Cayzer line. Every image was carefully relevant. I wonder, what's up? Could you please restore the images, and the Ukraine one had a usefull quote attached! Rodolph 23:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
