Thank you for your note on my talk page. I have corrected the order of the marriages. Moonraker ( talk) 23:00, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
I have tried - I really have, but find I just can not get to grips with the editing and sub pages etc. I have written an entry for Sir John Tilley (Secretary of the Post Office) and have some photographs aswell. But everytime, I try to do something with it to make it fit for publication, I just end up going round in circles and getting a headache. If I can send it to someone or upload it somewhere (I would need really simple instructions), is there anyone who would be able to make it fit for publication and I can then edit it further adding the odd reference I still need to add? Many thanks JCTilley ( talk) 13:17, 23 July 2011 (UTC) I have finally managed to create the article and hope I have posted it correctly for feedback. JCTilley ( talk) 16:15, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
I have uploaded them to Commons and do own the copyright. I just need to add something according to a notification I got - just don't have time to work it out and understand what I did wrong, before I move on to the adding them to the article. It'll probably be towards the end of the month before I can get to work on it. But it isn't forgotton. Thanks for all your help Moonraker. It is much appreciated.

Hello, I'm

your edit to

edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on

Missvain ( talk) 21:47, 2 December 2019 (UTC)A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Thomas Montgomery-Cuninghame 8th Baronet is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Montgomery-Cuninghame 8th Baronet until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 10:41, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Mutt Lunker, I'm sorry, I really don't know how this works. I'm not even sure you will see this. I am a real novice and I think Wiki has got too complex for me. I don't understand what is wrong with Thomas Montgomery-Cuninghame - I kind of thought it would be a stub, there for people to improve on. Please delete it if you see the need. Thank you.
Thanks Mutt, I managed to find the discussion and have added something there. I came at it from the "there is a page listing the Baronets and so it would be good to have a link to a page covering him" /info/en/?search=Montgomery-Cuninghame_baronets Just a different logic. LOL JCTilley ( talk) 20:07, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Thanks Mutt. On my phone it doesn't though. That is an issue I always forget - different OS show different things.
I think it is time for me to hang up my Wiki gloves.
I don't do enough to warrant really getting into things. JCTilley ( talk) 02:46, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you Mutt. Very kind of you. I find the coding challenging and with ageing, processing new information more challenging also. I never really set out to contribute to Wiki, but as I researched a family tree, realised there were some contributions to be made.
No, I don't use my phone to edit. But if I get an email like the one through here, I click to see what it is about and then get frustrated LOL I use a grown up computer for proper work.
I copied the entry onto a Word document before deletion and as I go along, if I find new information, I can always resubmit without the challenge of coding again.
Your kind words are much appreciated. Have a great Christmas and New Year. JCTilley ( talk) 14:34, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
