[edit] License tagging for Image:Gov. Josias Fendall in prison.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Gov. Josias Fendall in prison.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] genealogy

People have recently been deleting articles for great-grandchildren of kings who have no particularly notable event in their own lives, and this sort of detailed genealogy has no place here. Nobody seems to have noticed it before. I suggest you shorten it a little, removing coats of arms etc. Then there will be less justification for removing these. To demonstrate good faith, I just rescued the article on Fendall II, which would surely have been deleted if the last testament etc had stayed in. Comment here, please; I will see it.DGG 04:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] unsourced

I notice that all of these articles are unsourced. What is your source? DGG 04:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Dent, Sr.

Just an editing hint: Use headlines instead of bold text to create different sections and to automatically create a table of contents. Just type: == Headline text == for a level 2 headline (level 1 is reserved for article titles) use different amout of "=" for different levels (== for level 2, === for level 3, and ==== for level 4, ===== for level 5, and ====== for level 6. Note:(I've never seen anything higher than level 4 actually used) Mr.Z-mantalk 21:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Descendants of Governor Josias Fendall

Your page The Descendants of Governor Josias Fendall was recently speedily deleted. The reason was that it provided no context and was seen as a non-notable personal page. As this is an encyclopedia, each article should stand alone.. so creating a "reference" page dosn't really work. So, unfortunately you will have to put those references back into your articles. Also, as per DGG above, I caution you to be careful about how far with some of these persons.. as that some articles editors may see them as non-notable, etc.. so it's important that you get the source information back into the articles. Also, for some of the minor 'descendants', consider placing them in lists with short biographies if possible, prehaps on Fendall Family. This is a common practice on wikipedia when the individual characters are not very notable but worth mentioning in a larger context. But, like I said I am no expert on history, so I will leave it up to your discretion. Danski14 06:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, I would do this ASAP, as at least one of your articles has been tagged (Benjamin Fendall II). Also, nice job with Josias Fendall. I can tell that he is an important historical figure. Danski14 06:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Also Edward Fendall was tagged for deletion. Danski14 06:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

• As were several others. Please see our biography guideline. I guess this is your family, please do not assume that a chapter in the book is an indicator of encyclopaedic notability. Guy (Help!) 08:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I am continuing to delete others in this series. I encourage you to review the biography guideline offered above and to answer any questions I may post on articles that are not yet deleted. Kafziel ^Talk 22:29, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fendall Winston Yerxa

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Fendall Winston Yerxa, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Crambe

I am interested in the Fendalls inasmuch as they relate to Crambe esp. Karl Pearson - do you have anything of interest? (Others may have deleted it)
