We have 1913 in persondata and category; and 1914 in lede and infobox. Which is correct? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:48, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
I am currently in correspondence with a photographer that has great image of Alfie. If anyone can find one, before I get permission to use his, feel free to add one. —

Is there an article, template, category on them? That would be neat! — Wylie pedia 20:10, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
The Discipline Global Mobile terms of service do not allow linking to e.g. diary pages.
In this case, I would let the direct link to Robert Fripp's memorial to his Uncle stand, if there are no objections, the better to honour Squadron Commander Fripp.

Was he usually called Alfie, or Bill? The article title suggests Alfie, but the infobox suggests Bill (with Alfie as an afterthought). We should be consistent - or, if he was called different names by different groups of people as sometimes happens, and is implied in Robert Fripp's reference to his uncle Bill, this should be explained. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 23:16, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
In trying to track down his wife's date of death, I accessed the Ancestry.co.uk site, and discovered that her maiden name is recorded as Ahlandt, rather than Allen (though the family may of course have anglicised it) - [1] and [2]. She was born in Southampton in 1911 ( [3]) and died in 1996 ( [4]). I haven't added these to the article as I suspect they don't count as reliable sources - though I'm sure they are correct. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 23:31, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
I have removed the link to a facebook account per WP:FACEBOOK and have been reverted because (with regard to Kiefer.Wolfowitz comment on my talk page) exceptions are made for official links when the subject of the article has no other Web presence. You need to make up your mind either the self-published vantity site by his relative or the facebook page they all cant be "official". MilborneOne ( talk) 18:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
How are photos of him - and, especially, his wife - as babies related to the encyclopaedic content of this article? One baby looks pretty much like any other. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 11:31, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
This is an amateur family history site, but seems to have accurate information. It refers to Alfred George Fripp, and his wife Vera Violet Ahlandt (see thread above). Alfred George Fripp's parents were Austin Henry Fripp (born 4 Mar 1887, in Manswood, Moor Critchell, Dorset; died Sept 1961), and Emily Bennett (born about 1889 in Gosport, Hampshire; death not stated), who married on 23 Dec 1908 in Alverstoke. Austin was employed as Lance Corporal - Sgt Major R.M.L.I., and later as a postman. His parents were Abraham Fripp (b. 1846, Witchampton, Dorset; d. unknown) and Elizabeth Gilbert (b. c.1849, Moor Crichell, Dorset; d. unknown). Self-published source so perhaps not reliable, but no reason to think it's not accurate. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 15:53, 17 January 2013 (UTC) PS: For completeness, a quick bit of highly unacceptable WP:OR reveals that Abraham Fripp died in 1928, and his wife Elizabeth (I think) in 1910. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 16:05, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
On 17 January 2013, the article Alfie Fripp appeared on the main page of Wikipedia in the Did You Know section. The article attracted 11,773 readers, which is a very large number indeed.
Thanks to all the writers for their contributions! Kiefer .Wolfowitz 12:00, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
