[edit] 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 :-(
[edit] 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)

[edit] Naming conventions
Hi Craigy - Can you please advise on Wikipedia 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)
[edit] 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.

[edit] 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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)

[edit] 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)
[edit] 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 Wikipedia 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 talk 02:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Change to Common.css
Per recent discussions, the way in which Persondata is viewed by Wikipedia editors has changed. In order to continue viewing Persondata in Wikipedia articles, please edit your user CSS file to display table.persondata rather than table.metadata.

[edit] Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Royport.JPG, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 23:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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 JPStalk to me 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)
[edit] 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. DrKiernan 08:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for doing the above all those months ago. A question has now been raised about Image:Mary of Teck.jpg.[1] What was the original source of the photo? Did you download it direct from the V&A? You may of course not remember as it was so long ago. Thanks anyway, DrKiernan 15:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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 (talk) • (contribs) 23:25, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 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) ~~
[edit] 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 Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia 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.

[edit] 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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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 Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Marie Freeman-Thomas
In that case, why haven't you updated her page to represent that she is also a DBE? Why do I have to do it -- it is your claim/representation!! O'Donoghue 16:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- I updated it by removing her name several times as I was unable to find any proof she was a DBE, as well as a GBE. You did not provide a link to the publication in question that you referred to in the edit summary of List of Dames Commander of the Order of the British Empire to bolster your claim. If it is a fact, then you should add the category and the reference. The fact that you refuse(d) to do so despite your claim it is a "fact" is strange. O'Donoghue 22:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for sending the link--I could not access it otherwise with my lousy ISP (I use MetConnect, no more need be said, I trust).
I am still not sure b/c both Peerage.com and Brasseys of Bulkeley both fail to include the DBE title -- please read my comments on the discussion page at List of Dames Commander...
Yours, O'Donoghue 00:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fine, I understand the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result), but the fact remains that you have:
- not added the postnominals DBE to her page
- not added the category (Category:Dames Commander of the Order of the British Empire to her page
- Not responded in re: Matilda Maria Helena Bingham Brassey (Dame of the Order of the British Empire) per the site I referenced; shouldn't she be added?
- Not bothered to thank me even once or give me a barnstar for all my work in this category and for the mistakes you made which I corrected (Marjorie Maxse; Sarah Lees).

[edit] British courtesy peerages templates
Hi Craig! Firstly, well done indeed on constructing the remaining templates! However, I notice a load of redlinks - I'd suggest either removing the links, or linking to the current creation's section on the substantive peerage's page, like I did on the others, because, to be honest, the creation of pages for non-notable courtesy barons is not very likely...

[edit] Shiney Row
Just a note to say that I have to agree with your edit removing Lambton Estate. I can understand why some people think of it being part of SR, especially with Shiney Row's Biddick Woods Estate being a stone's throw from Biddick Hall.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a proper article for Shiney Row; current suburb of Sunderland with good travel links and a college centre doesn't really do the place justice
[edit] Henrietta Villiers
I just created this article and it was soon after marked for speedy deletion. Perhaps she was not that notable but she was a countess and the mother of an Earl.

[edit] Douglas-Hamilton/Hamilton
Hi, this is a copy of what I have posted on Talk:George Hamilton, 1st Earl of Orkney, regards.
- If anyone is confused as to the naming of the offspring of Anne Duchess of Hamilton, and William, Earl of Selkirk, I suggest visiting Lennoxlove House. There, on the main staircase, are contemporary portraits of all of the male offspring of that union. The frames, which were specifically made at the time for the paintings, all clearly bear the surname Douglas-Hamilton. If specific Douglas-Hamiltons chose to shorten their names for brevity's sake, or others chose to call them by one or other of the compound surname, that does not alter the fact that they were still Douglas-Hamiltons. The only true unadorned Hamiltons of this family were the oldest brothers, as Duke of Hamilton. Brendandh 11:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lise Thibault still LG
Lise Thibault is still the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec. Pierre Duchesne has not been sworn in. [4]. According to the source, there will be at least a 2 week notice beforehand, and there has been no notice whatsoever of a date for the installation.--Ibagli (Talk) 20:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eleanor Talbot
Just curious about how to handle an article, Lady Eleanor Talbot where nearly the whole text appears to have been taken from tudorplace.com.ar (scroll about halfway down the page). Should it be rewritten, blockquoted, or a reference made with that information? Daytrivia 00:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick
Wikipedia's Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick is listed as the 3rd Earl of Warwick at stirnet.com and thepeerage.com what is correct I wonder? Daytrivia 14:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Anglicising royal names
There is precedent on the 'pedia for using English translations of foreign names in our Royal Family – George II was born Georg August; Ernest Augustus I of Hanover was known in German as Ernst August; George V of Hanover became Georg Friedrich Alexander Karl Ernst August, but we continue to call him George Frederick Alexander Charles Ernest Augustus. So surely we ought to be translating the French Louis to Lewis, just like we would Ludwig? Or do we think it's just a German thing? Value your thoughts † DBD 17:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- That's okay, I didn't think you were being awkward, we all edit as we see fit! I see your point, and will act with it in future – although, regarding your example, for me it's the opposite way, I'd rather be Daniel than Danielle (as the French pronounce the former! And Dan rather than either!) † DBD 18:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Queens regnant and courtesy titles
I wasn't sure whether or not queens regnant present an exception to the concept of courtesy titles jure mariti, so I assumed it not to be an exception – do you have a citation saying they are? † DBD 18:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oh great Empire researching one...
Thanks for the addition to Ali Pasha Sherif. Can you add any more to that article on anything beyond his horse career? Like, just for starters, how did he get his titles? What did he do to get the money to be a horse breeder? (Inherited it, stole it, earned it, ??) All I can find are things about his horse breeding work (which is great as far as it goes), but nothing that fleshes out the whole human being the way we were able to flesh out Arabian breeders like Henry Babson or Homer Davenport, or, for that matter, Abbas Pasha. Thanks Montanabw(talk) 22:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
And while you are at it, how/when/why did he earn the Knights Commander of the Order of the Star of India? That's something of interest... Montanabw(talk) 02:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Archbishcantarms.PNG. 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}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia: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.

Craigy, old buddy, old pal: What say you create a short stub bio on Ada King-Milbanke, 14th Baroness Wentworth? She's now red linked on a couple different articles (Baron Wentworth and Lady Anne Blunt among them). The inheritance of the Wentworth peerage got a little weird around her time, and a short article might make it all a little clearer.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] Check, please
On List of Governors of Portsmouth. You've added Richard Ingram, 5th Viscount of Irvine as governor 1715-1721, overlapping Thomas Erle. London Gazette of 26 July 1715 has Irvine ("Viscount Irwin") created Governor of Kingston-upon-Hull, rather than Portsmouth. The Viscounts of Irvine were locally powerful in Yorkshire, so Hull would seem to make sense. Could you please check your source and see if that entry needs to be moved from the one article to the other? Choess 18:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Speaking of which, what's the proper classification of Governors for succession boxes? Is it a military office? The governorships usually seem to be of castles, forts, or fortified ports. I've tried to throw together a quick list at the bottom of User:Choess/Offices; additions are welcome. Anyway, glad I could help. Choess 01:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:S-freemason
Greetings, Craigy144. I have noticed that you have created a template which produces a succession header for Freemasonry offices. Although such offices are indeed eligible for a header of their own, it is preferable not to create templates that can only used in titles belonging to a single organisation. In addition, the colour of the header is too vivid and, in addition, it is too dark for the letters to be easily legible.
WikiProject Succession Box Standardization have looked into the issue and suggest that Freemasonry offices are given a parameter in Template:S-npo, which is used for all non-profit organisations. The header will still write "Freemasonry offices" and its colour will be acceptable. In addition, this arrangement will allow for these titles to be readily placed in succession boxes in the correct slot, according to our Guidelines.
So, what do you think?
Please answer here, in order to keep the conversation in one piece. Thank you for your time. Waltham, The Duke of 11:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William Villiers, 10th Earl of Jersey
With regard to this page and your "Vandalism Warning", I am not vandalising the page, and I left some information up there. The Earl had requested that the majority of the detail be removed and so I did that, according to what he thought appropriate. Please refrain from repeating your "undos". Thank you.
Gorkysfc 22:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
IF someone who is the subject of your entry has asked for it to be edited, do you not think that you should leave it how that is? It is not vandalism on my part, it is courtesy and respecting someone's wishes. Unless you are an accredited (if there is such a thing) contributor or editor, then I suggest you please leave this alone. If you are accredited, then you should at least respect the wishes of the individual concerned, as I originally stated, don't you think? I'm trying to be reasonable and have now left a fair amount in there. All that is requested is you leave things the rest out until later down the line (particularly with reference to children etc).
Gorkysfc 15:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm afraid I feel you are being deliberately difficult. I have already explained that the earl desires to reduce the availability of information on the web. He is concerned over certain aspects of the entry, the reasons for which I would not like to go into with someone like yourself, a completely random stranger, but was happy with my last posting which incorporated the majority of your input. That you have locked the edit to "your" definition is perhaps a little childish or more generously cautionary but remains completely unsympathetic to an individuals request. I do not argue that what you have put is libellous or defamatory, far from it (perhaps the rugby "like" stature comment was a little unfounded but you have removed that), but I fail to see why you are so determined to ignore the concerns of the person of whom you write. I am fully aware that the information in question is readily available but making it less readily available is oft the desire of people in this position. For your information the "Henrican" descent you have posted here hangs on the wall of the lavatory at his home under the title "Are you sitting on the throne of the King of England". All very tongue-in-cheek. After all it is likely that Caroline would be first in line.
Please try to understand, this is not an attempt to undermine, just reach a compromise.
Gorkysfc 20:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Discussing what hangs on his bathroom wall does not in any way cause concern in the way that parading of information on this page does. If you want me to be blunt, then I think the only way I can put it to you is to query whether you would like you house name and the fact you have a small child advertised to the whole world on the web?
As I have said, the information is not libellous nor inflammatory, and much of what was originally posted is there. One small request has been made and you have ignored it, rather unjustly it might be said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gorkysfc (talk • contribs) 21:26, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
I record here what I wrote to Moonriddengirl
Moonriddengirl
With regards to the 10th Earl of Jersey, the request concerns the removal of his daughter's details from the site.
The reason that most of the detail was removed is that a large part of the details, although readily available elsewhere, are extremely accessible via the internet and are details that some institutions use for access thereby just a precautionary measure but I freely admit there isn't any other defence of this removal.
I don't want to be setting a "precedent" either but there needs to be a balance between the eagerness in the sharing of information and a responsibility to respect living subjects wishes, particularly with regard to potentially sensitive information (e.g. with regard to children).

[edit] DYK nom .... but
- ...that it was Frances Seymour, the Duchess of Somerset who interceded with Queen Caroline to obtain a pardon for the poet and murderer Richard Savage? by User:Craigy144 nom by Victuallers 08:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC) (requested citation from author)
As you see I have nominated this article. Its very well referenced ... however the fact that I chose as the hook doesnt actually have a ref. I'm presuming this is an easy fix? Hope you are OK with the nom. Victuallers 08:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC). I thought about her not being a Duchess at the time ... but decided it was what she/history would want and you used Duchess for the article title.

Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:48, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[edit] London Gazette
I've noticed you've recently inserted a number of references to the London Gazette into Mistress of the Robes. You may not be aware that there is a template that you may find useful {{LondonGazette}} for references of this type. There has just been a major change in the way the urls for these references are constructed (fortunately yours are in the new format), if the template is used consistently it will help future maintenance of these references if the urls are changed again. It looks like you should have all the required information for the parameters to make the change very easy (I'm trying to concentrate on fixing articles which have been broken by the change).

[edit] Proposal: Removal of dates in parliament headers
It appears that there is a consensus on this. I would remove the dates myself, but the Template:S-par page is protected. It would be greatly appreciated if you could just eliminate this headache. Do it and maybe I will buy you a drink afterwards. Waltham, The Duke of 11:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Educational offices header
Greetings again, Craigy. Being an administrator, you should know that you will be hearing from me whenever there is a problem to fix with the templates, as most of them are protected and I do not have the rights to intervene (the result of a great misunderstanding; people just cannot understand how important I am). Do not worry though, as these are generally minor changes of little consequence. And, who knows, we might actually enjoy having our tea together.
Now, on to the point. As you can see here, my idea to combine academic, educational, and cultural offices in one header has kind of flopped. (Ah, the bygone era of Standard Oil and its fellow trusts...) Therefore, we are to retain the separate headers, which means that we need all three independent headers in our header scheme.
You are eager to see where I am taking this, aren't you? I am sure that you are. Well, even though I am tempted to keep this for a little more... Nah, I am too kind for this. All right, then: your task is to go to Template:S-edu and change it to read "Educational offices" instead of the current "Cultural and educational offices". This way it can be usable again. It will hardly take you any more time than it has taken you to read this very message, and you shall earn yourself a Kinder chocolate bar if you pull it off successfully. What could be valued more in this life?
PS: I should have said please somewhere in the message, but it does not fit with its jolly tone. If you do not like it, let me know and my next message will be much more polite—and boring. Cheers! Waltham, The Duke of 19:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
PS2: Please answer here. Waltham, The Duke of —Preceding comment was added at 19:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm....I'm not sure. I'm a sucker for Buenos, but I'd prefer you to show me a concensus than a half-hearted discussion, then I might be inclined to change it. I suppose another option would be to ask another admin, but I'd be quite happy to help if I knew proposals to change the template have been agreed. Regards, Craigy (talk) 22:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

- In this case, I believe that you would be content with the discussion here. The Irish brunette gave the two-member committee (Whaleyland and me) a pretty hard time back then on an assortment of issues. And, even without the "evidence" I hereby present to you, it is only common sense that, since there is an officially condoned header succession template (s-culture) which reads "Cultural offices", it is quite redundant to leave another template with the label "Cultural and educational offices", which was a later development anyway (something easily establishable from the template's history).

- I do not blame you for wanting to do your job right. But I find all this paperwork a little tedious. After all, I have gotten used to hiring people to do this for me. ;-) Waltham, The Duke of 22:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

- All done. I had it in mind to nominate you for adminship actually. Your work has been great so far but I thought your edit count was a bit too low for now and didn't want to see you get thrashed at WP:RFA (I guess I like your eccentricity too much lol). Hopefully you'll make it soon though and accept when you think you're ready. Adieu for now, Craigy (talk) 23:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for the fix, Craigy. About the adminship... Well, you have really caught me off guard here. I mean, I have always associated administrators with the War Against VandalismTM, and I have never really been much interested in this (although I do revert vandalism when I find it). People tend to raise the standards that users must fulfil when applying for administratorship, and, despite what Jimbo says, they do make a big deal out of it. My edit count is rising steadily, but it will definitely take a long time to reach the lofty heights of most other distinguished editors (especially since I try not to be too liberal with them, and get work done with as few as possible). What can I say...? I suppose I can consider it again in a few months' time. In the meanwhile, I can work on improving the standing of SBS and... cultivating my "ridiculous, eccentric, sarcastic nobleman" persona that has captivated the hearts of Wikipedians around the world (here it goes again). Well, see you around! Waltham, The Duke of 23:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder/request/idea/memo/suggestion/[insert a word of your choice]
Long time no see, eh? Well, Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year is in, and the holiday season has passed... It is fair to assume that, erm, "break's over", right? Call me impolite, call me insensitive, remind me as many times as you want that participation in WikiProjects is strictly voluntary, but my options are few. Extreme situations demand extreme measures, and me taking such steps as knocking on SBS members' doors for some Wiki-charity is rather extreme, if you ask me. I am a Duke, for Unicorn's sake.
To the subject: as always, there is a severe activity deficiency in the project—too much to do, and nobody to do it. I am not as much concerned about the editing progress, as this is supposed to be done by all editors. No, I am more worried about the guidelines and the templates, where there are still many things to be taken care of, numerous holes to be closed, countless loose ends to be tied up, immeasurable improvements to be made. In four words: decisions to be made. All I am asking for is a helping hand once in a while: add the SBS page to your watchlist (if you have not done so until now), and vote in the polls; as the majority of the proposals are rather uncontroversial, polls usually suffice for business to move on. If, of course, there is the slightest disagreement (succession boxes are rather straightforward, after all), more discussion can take place, until consensus is reached in the good old Wikipedia way. The fact is that the entire process will not take up more than a few minutes of your valuable time in any given day—and it is a rare event indeed to see more than two or three proposals submitted in a week. Actually, that speed would be ideal, as things right now move at much slower rates.
If we are to note any progress, we need participation. If you are interested enough to have signed up, I am not asking for much, am I? After all, aren't we all here because we are trying to make a difference? Waltham, The Duke of 21:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
P.S.: Ever heard of hard spaces? They are required in many cases by the Manual of Style, but most editors seem to ignore them entirely. There is an initiative attempting to change this situation; click here if you are interested. – Waltham

[edit] Request for discussion on recent deletion
Hi, I just wanted to discuss your recent deletion of Counter-revolutionary's talk page. I was under the impression that it didn't qualify under U1, because there are other contributors than the user (and there's no indication that the user has engaged his Right to Vanish, and also considering that one of the folks under the CheckUser whose results led to the indefinite block is contesting the results (vigorously, using possible sockpuppets). Would you mind terribly if I undid your deletion, or at the very least, put a blocked sock template of it? We can decide what to do with it after this whole thing dies down.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jordan coa.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jordan coa.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Groom of the Robes
I see you have a history of working on the article Groom of the Robes. I am looking at it from the project Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles where it is one of the longest {{unreferenced}} tagged articles that does not meet at least the barest minimum of verifiability. It has been tagged and completely without references since June 2006. It would be extremely helpful if you had some references you could add to the article to help support its verifiability and notability. Thanks for any help you can give.

[edit] Fenella Fielding's year of birth
I see that, at some stage, you've revised information about Fenella Fielding's year of birth.

If you have any observations, please feel free to comment there. Thanks. --Error -128 (talk) 01:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Qu&DoE Wedding.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Qu&DoE Wedding.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.
