[edit] Courteenhall

Thanks for adding to this - useful. I think it is still necessary to indicate the Wake family still occupy the property. Cj1340 09.45, 10 May 07 (GMT)

[edit] Brigadier General Walter Long

Hi, i like what you've done with the above article, I've written a couple on first world war generals myself. Just a quick note, 1) We try not to put a historical figure's military rank in the title of the article. I was going to move it, but if you know his middle name that would help (if he doesn't have one then I'll have to think about it). 2) You can't just quote The Times as a reference (see WP:CITE), you need the date and issue number of the newspaper in which the information appeared. Ultimately we need to know exactly which bits of information were gleaned from which source (see Samuel Lomax for an example). Good work, keep it up and have fun, if you need any help then let me know.--Jackyd101 12:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jackyd101, I agree about the military rank in the title, on this occasion I thought it necessary to differentiate between this Walter and the other nine Walters in the family (see here). He didn't have a middle name, and in all the media he was distinguished from his well-known father, also known as Walter Long till 1921, by using his rank. But if you think it better without, then by all means move it.

I have added the date and issue no. to the source, which is where all the info about his military career and death came from. Should I specify that in the source? Brograve 22:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Vanbrugh

Hi - I am currently translating this article into French (fr:John Vanbrugh) and am perplexed by this sentence: "Castle Howard, with its immense corridors in segmental colonnades leading from the main entrance block to the flanking wings..." which I believe you contributed to the article. Could you help by throwing some light on what those segmental colonnades are? -- Thanks CamsterE 12:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi CamsterE - Sorry I know nothing about this article, my only contribution was a typo correction. It was Epugh on 5 Aug 2004 who added the section in question. - Brograve 12:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
