[edit] Roughton, Norfolk

Hi, I just have seen your addition to Roughton, Norfolk; any source for Einsteins visit there? Pommes104 15:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Several sources. (I first heard the story on BBC radio) http://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/features/insideout_einstein.shtml

[edit] Aleksis Dreimanis

Hi Nedrutland,

I noticed you addition to the Dreimanis article. I'm going to remove it for now. Please feel free to add it back if you have a reference to confirm.

We have to be diligent about sourcing all our references, especially for living people. Clerks. 17:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't see your concern here; the Baltic University in Exile was established for Displaced Persons in Germany and was at the DP camps in Hamburg and then Pinneberg [1]Ned de Rotelande

[edit] de Bernales

re [2]. Thanks for clarifying that. I recall when I wrote it that the material I had was a bit confusing about which school it actually was. —Moondyne 07:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

CdB was only at Uppingham for less than a year.

[edit] Seaton Viaduct

I think you're getting confused between Seaton viaduct and Welland/Harringworth viaduct. Seaton viaduct is the separate structure to the north of Seaton that carries the existing line over the dismantled line to Uppingham (see this map). This is confirmed by the Quail Railway Track Diagrams, Volume 4: Midlands & North West (ISBN 0-9549866-0-1). It may be that local residents refer to the Welland viaduct as Seaton - if you can provide citeably evidence of this it may be worth adding. I have some other statistics about the Welland viaduct, which I'll add tonight. – Tivedshambo (talk) 06:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Turks in Bulgaria

Thank you for your edits. I've tried to edit the article myself before but got reverted w/o explanation, no matter the stated source - the US Congress Library. --Petar Petrov 18:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] F.W. Pomeroy

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of F.W. Pomeroy, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/speel/sculpt/pomeroy.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 14:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thorney links

While you seem to be editing this page and removing my links I was wondering why you are choosing to overlook other commercial links under the same heading which to my knowledge are also profit making ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moreteyne (talk • contribs) 14:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grell

Cheers for the message, yeah read it in Private eye in the lastest copy which said she no longer work for Nick. I'll put the ref in when I get home and i can see the details more clearly. Philbentley 09:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Isle of Wight

I think we (Wikipedia) had the claim about Rutland prior to the QI episode was broadcast, but I don't deny that it might have been added by a QI elf during their research. Still it strikes me as not being an unreasonable claim - what with a coastline of c. 92 km, it would only take approximately 50m on average between high and low tide to make the Island larger than Rutland.

Anyway - just though the fact that we got there first might be of interest to you. :: smile :: --Neo (talk) 12:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC) I find the fsctoid extremely dubious. Calculation of area would normally be based only upon dry land i.e. the high tide figure.

As for your comment about got there first well you only had a sheriff and lord lieutnenant in 1974 you Johnny-come-latelies!  :: smile :: Ned de Rotelande 12:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William Brampton Gurdon

Hi Nedrutland, just a general query really about where you got the name details from? The name I added originally was from Rayments peerage: [3], which is normally quite reliable. cheers - Galloglass 20:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Slovenia#Biodiversity

I'm sorry, but the first part (genus) of scientific names of species is always capitalized. Like Daphne blagayana instead of daphne blagayana. There is also a consensus to write common names of birds capitalized (see Wikipedia:NC#Animals, plants, and other organisms). --Eleassar ^{my talk} 09:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ill Met By Moonlight

Before we both get into 3RR problems, can I suggest that you take you objections to the bolding of names in the "Cast notes" sub-section to the talk page. I'm always happy to discuss formatting questions. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 08:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I see you have had a run-in with Ed. I have initiated a WP:RfC regarding his continual disregard for the style guidelines here if you wish to comment. Clarityfiend (talk) 17:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Medeshamstede

Thanks for your copy editing, do keep it up! Nortonius (talk) 14:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

And thanks for adding categories: just a thought, and you might well know this, but Medeshamstede/Peterborough spent about a thousand years in Northants. before it became part of Cambs. I've no idea what that means for the 'Monasteries in...' categories though, maybe they only need the current position? Nortonius (talk) 07:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gyrwe

I've created a talk page for Gyrwe, which you've modified recently, with a question you might want to answer. Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 13:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Barker was Cornish

Just noticed your edit at Barkerville, British Columbia from a while back; he may have been from Cambridgeshire but all BC histories describe him as Cornish; ethnically Cornish only, but enough of a Cornishman that all his contemporaries described him that way. Are you sure there's no Cornish ghetto in Cambridge? :-) ??Skookum1 (talk) 03:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
