Hi Jack sorry to contact you in such a manner but I can't seem to find any other another way of doing so (I am very new to Wiki and a complete novice). I was hoping to contact you in the hope that you would allow us to use one of the images you have uploaded of Vice-Admiral Robert Fitzroy. We are making a documenatry about the history of weather forecasting and we would love to use this image. Please do contact me on scott.ward@keofilms.com Many Thanks

Thank you for your review. Margaret was indeed a remarkable woman. She was extraordinarily canny and diplomatic, and a real survivor. Would have made an excellent prime minister. I observe that you are located in England; let me say that the fact that Margaret succeeded in working with four archbishops who were as essentially different as Marcus Loane, Donald Robinson (bishop), Harry Goodhew and Peter Jensen (bishop) is amazing in itself.

[1] No. I am really not happy about that hook. I had already removed the additional quotation that the hook is based on, before I realised that EEng had turned it into a hook and you had OKed it. I have left my reasons. The subject has only been dead a fortnight. I was at her funeral and her memorial service. I want the article to do her justice. The addition to the article (on which that hook was based) put a focus on her media role that overshadowed ever other aspect of her remarkable life. Amandajm ( talk) 10:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jack. I've just been looking through your interesting article which reminded me of many of the variety stars of my early days. I took the liberty of moving the title simply to Hippodrome, Aldershot (in line with Hippodrome, London, etc.) as this appears to be the usual style. It also makes it easier to find the article in searches. I found the capitalised "The Hippodrome" unusual in the running text and changed the definite article to lower case. I look forward to seeing the article on DYK soon.-- Ipigott ( talk) 05:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jack, Yasou.
I saw
your edit here and was wondering that if you should happen to have access to primary documents, would you try finding anything with
Chapman's handwriting? Before his execution, he intentionally avoided writing and inferred that the priest was trying to trick him into getting his handwriting (Sugden). That writing is out there somewhere on a ship's manifest, catholic registry, British immigration or census records or as you have found, maybe on a marriage license. Chapman had more than one marriage so the potential is there. Obviously, comparison to the Lusk letter is the eventual goal. I'm sure it may be a challenge but you seem to be resourceful enough to succeed. So, if you just happen to meander in the archives... :)

Hello Jack,
My name is Lottie Smith. I have various Dickens connections to my family tree. My 4th great grandfather was Frederick Evans the printer/publisher/friend of Charles Dickens, you have most likely come across his name with association to Bradbury and Evans. I am actually attempting to write a fictional story based on the friendship fo Frederick and Charles, I am obviously a bit prejudice but I believe their tale is very much underrated as a story and I want to tell it. I have noticed your contributions to the Dickens wiki pages and am interested in corresponding with you about trying to get more information on the families and also photographs. If you would like to speak with me my email is lottie.rs@googlemail.com.

Hi Jack, thank you for the wonderful articles you've created on Gilbert & Sullivan and various cast members of the D'Oyly Carte. I wanted to contact you about my grandmother Eileen Sharp who was a mezzo-soprano and much loved member of the cast in the '20s before appearing in a number of roles on the 'legitimate' stage. You can see the Bassano portrait of her as Mad Margaret in the National Portrait Gallery online archive. There is also a captivating portrait by Count Michael de Torby and a series of prints by Einar Nerman for The Tatler, playing rather daringly for the period, a Tahitian native, opposite Henry Ainley as Gauguin in Somerset Maugham's 'The Moon & Sixpence'. I have a book and all the archive material from the V&A Theatre Archive but would dearly love to connect with a reputable Wikipedia member who might be kind enough to take an interest in helping document this on the site so more people can know of her so she is not forgotten. I would be completely lost attempting this on my own and not able to do this justice as it is clearly quite an art form. Sadly much was lost in a fire when she died rather young so it has been truly fascinating discovering her story now that so much of what would have previously been lost forever can be shared publicly in new archives online. If you have any advice on how I might contact you or any other thoughts it would be lovely to hear from you.

Hi Jack, do you have any idea whether the 10' disc wheels apparently lent by GWR to convey the Duke's statue to Hyde Park Corner were used to transport the sculpture by rail or were the GWR wheels adapted by Woolwich Arsenal for the road carriage?

Many thanks for the picture of the Hume grave marker. I am curious to know who is buried under the similar looking stone that is visible in the background. I am hoping that you are not too far off from Brookwood Cemetery. It seems that the significance of the shape of the marker is a bit of a mystery. Cheers. Shyamal ( talk) 11:21, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello Jack - forgive me if you are already aware of these points as you are a prolific contributor. So - all photographers including you (under the copyright Designs & Patents Act & similar in various countries) own the copyright of all images they take. Wikipedia does not arrogate copyright and indeed is concerned that those who upload images do in fact own that copyright as the copyright owner is the only person who can then agree that images are bound by Creative Commons. If Wiki did not take this path then anyone who used images from Wiki or the Commons could be open to legal action. I'm not adept at use of Wiki. The wording used with my images right now (which is more explicit) was suggested by a supportive Wiki editor as we often went through a cycle of new contributors or those who newly came across these images questioning copyright ownership and consequent 'right' to offer CC. As with your images you own the copyright and thus can offer them up for 'free' usage under CC. The issue to watch for - in my opinion - as I've seen some examples, is images posted under CC which also then include a note that the uploader must be contacted for permission to use the image commercially etc. That is a contradiction of CC. Hope this explains why my images contain a reference link to my website and clear statements about copyright ownership in order to give Wiki assurance that indeed I can offer CC.
By the way you appear to be a frequent visitor to Brookwood Cemetery - much easier now it owned by the local council. I see from your photo that the Columbarium has now had the breeze blocks replaced by an appropriate gate. A major improvement. Have you discovered the grave of Ruth Ellis yet? She is back in the news on the anniversary of the events leading to her death.
Best wishes, WyrdLight
PS: I didn't say that if you take an image which is taken illegally (outside the High Court during some proceedings, the Eiffel Tower lit at night and so on) and that image is placed on Wiki and subsequently used in good faith you may be liable technically for any action that arises. Unlikely but feasible.
Hello, Jack! It seems as though you have accidentally deleted my comment without replying, or am I mistaken and you have decided to use the theologian's age-old trick of avoiding logic-driven discourse? I have reproduced it below for you. I shall eagerly await your response. All the very best. Mathygrammar ( talk) 17:16, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
You have reverted my edit on Pinafore with the comment "Rv to last good version. Please take your case to the Talk Page." As you are addressed and directed me to the Talk in a very personal way, and also implied that my edit was not good, I would suggest that you peruse Civility. I note that you and Ssilvers have had sustained friendly discourse through your Talk pages. This is a splendid thing, friendship, but I think it would be inappropriate to make nonconstructive edits if it simply means "standing up" for your buddy. Talk discussion had already been initiated, so your stating this was unnecessary. Please, feel free to join in the discussion there as to why you believe omitting a clarifying phrase is an edit that is not good.
On 30 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article St Mary's Church, Guildford, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, St Mary's Church, Guildford), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

I see you have copied some material from an obituary
on file at Wikisource into the above article. If the material is public domain, you need to provide attribution using {{
PD-notice}}
. But I don't think it is provably in the public domain in the source country, as the anonymous author of an article written in 1930 could very well not have been dead by 1946 (70 years ago). The material is likely not provably in the public domain in the United States, either. I have removed most of it. But it is still visible in the page history in case you would like to re-write it in your own words. —

Greetings, Jack...I was recently copying some of your excellent photos to Commons and I noticed you had recently visited and photographed Aldershot Military Museum - by any chance did you happen to photograph the old M and N block barracks? They are both Grade II listed buildings and the only surviving examples of barracks of that type. [2] [3] Kelly hi! 13:50, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

You left me a thank you notification for your nomination as Editor of the Week....which I much appreciate. The problem is, you should not have known about it for another seven weeks (or so) by which time it would have (and still will be) seconded and move up the Queue and be awarded about late August. We have been clerking the Editor of the Week award for many years and only rarely does the intended get "wind of it"! I accidentally pinged you by using the "User10" and then signing at the same time. I usually seperate the two actions. Anyway, let me be the first to congratulate you (seven weeks early). Thanks for all you do! ― Buster7 ☎ 15:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello Jack1956
I am the Founder of the Friends of Roundhay St. John's Church, Leeds, UK. I am also the webmaster for our website, www.roundhayfriends.com. I found the postcard you have of George DeRelwyskow, 1908 and was searching to see if it was copyrighted. I would like this picture for our website as he is buried in the north yard along with several other members of his family, all involved in the wrestling scene. I have included a picture of the grave (actually the family are buried in 2 separate graves) and I thought that it would be interesting for viewers to see what this remarkable champion wrestler looked like. I understand that the photo of him in the wrestling pose is public domain.
Since you are an ecclesiastical person, obviously with many interests! I thought that you might be interested in the many other aspects of the church which is now virtually abandoned. Ancestors of the Duchess of Cambridge are buried in the south (and older) churchyard.
Keep up the good work! and Cheers, Caro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caro1948 ( talk • contribs) 18:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Dear Jack1956, thank you ever so much for the pics of Woking Crematorium which you provided the other day. This really fills a gap, well done! One question I still have, though - why is it that you uploaded them here on en.wikipedia.org rather than on Wikimedia Commons, any particular reason? Many thanks again, and please keep up your great work! Cyan22 ( talk) 23:12, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I nearly killed myself walking from Brookwood Cemetery to Woking Crematorium but I think the end result was worth it. Regarding Commons, it's mostly because I'm not very good at uploading to there. Jack1956 ( talk) 23:46, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
I enjoy a spot of original research as much as anyone, but might it not be better to put some of the references to primary sources as footnotes, rather than expanding the main text? I took out a lot of your earlier detailed (and, I'm sure, accurate) research from the "Early life" section; more fastidious editors might think it should not be retained at all. Of course, we don't yet know whether the more contentious aspects of his personal life might become acknowledged by his associates following his death. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 18:31, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

As you are the author for this page, I'll leave you to decide whether or not to include info from these two newspaper clippings. They come from the British Newspaper Archive which does not allow use of its images on Wiki, so they are transcriptions:
"Mr. Frederic Bovill cannot boast a very long professional career. After some experience as an amateur he made his debut in The Mikado, taking the part of the Noble Lord Pish-Tush. Without a very great deal to do, he makes the best of his part, and his excellent voice and artistic singing are heard to advantage."
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News - Saturday 04 July 1885 p4 c3 [This issue apparantly also has a portrait of him (taken from a photograph by Lombardi, 13 Pall Mall East) but the relevant page is missing from the BNA source].
"MR. FREDERICK BOVILL. Principal Baritone, Grand Opera. Count di Luna, Valentine, Count Arnheim, Don José de Satiterun, Don Pedro, Danny Mann, &c. Mr. N. Vert, Cork-street, W."

For the attention of User:Jack1956 Please review request for your expertise. I was glad to see that you have contributed to the Wikipedia of Cheek by Jowl < /info/en/?search=Cheek_by_Jowl> who directed the first production of the Greek South African Angelique Rockas < /info/en/?search=Angelique_Rockas> . I noticed that the first reference for Cheek by Jowl is the link to their archives in the Victoria and albert collections, which is also an external link..
The Wikipedia Angelique Rockas page has gone through great difficulties as a result of a Greek editor from Greece Chalk 19 questioning the value of stating the British Library archives and the use of scans of reviews from years in which the stated newspapers and magazines do not have direct links from the Internet Archive, and blocking every contributor in his ignorance. Accusations of unsourced material and paid contributions have been levelled , The admin Doc James is known for catching out pharmaceutical companies using PR companies to promote their product on Wikipedia , so his banners after consulting Chalk of Dollar signs and paid contribution is no surprise. The archives mean nothing to him . The real question is why should the work archived in the British Library, Scottish Theatre archive, BFI and the UK National Archive plus Akademie Der Kunste need paid editors?
Editors Atlantic and Melcous have restructured the article , and Chrissynad removed the flick links As an academic of Greek Cypriot cum English ancestry , with first hand knowledge of Uk theatre and newspaper logos you are best qualified to add your contribution to this article with its Theatro Technis and Greek connections so that the banners can be removed
I am not sufficiently qualified to carry out this task but you with your academic status, track record on Wikipedia etc etc can put a stop to this . And I hope you understand that I wish to remain anonymous. Thank you. Anon {----} sorry they are not real — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.119.247 ( talk) 13:48, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

2) Many news sources of 39 yrs ago are not availble via digital links so you cannot dismiss the work of persons who broke new ground in theatre because the news sources about the work are not digitally archived to provide direct links. Scans or screen shots on the Internet Archive are acceptable to many editors working in Wikipedia who do accept internet archive scans as they are not a `fake` .. 3) If Wikipedia and Internet Archive are working together to save links then maybe logically it is best to upload the reviews and news sources onto the Internet Archive even if the reviews and news sources are after 2000 4) There is also < /info/en/?search=Internationalist_Theatre > Best {___} Anon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.115.249 ( talk) 14:02, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

I saw that you participate in a project interesting for me, which in this period I absolutely need, that of Women in Red project, I have three biographies to propose, one of which must be completely redone according to the biography on two sites not so encyclopedic . But I'm sure it will be easy for you to do it. this is the biography of Lori Jo Hendrix, I send you the two links, here and here, to get an idea of the biography to be added and reformulated. as concern Sabrina Ferilli and Milena Miconi if she can help in general with regard to the biography, to make it more fluid and legible.

Hello. Just a query about the Percy Toplis photo you uploaded several years ago. This is the best reproduction I have seen and just wondering who owns the original/source image? I've spoken to Mike Sassi at the Nottingham Evening Post and he is sceptical that they ever owned the original image. Have also contacted the British Library, Carlisle Police Archive and Imperial War Museum. They all denied ownership. Several cropped versions of this same image have appeared in various publications through the year and all seem to have misattributed it (including the famous book by Fairley and Allsion). Most publishers tend to reproduce the image that appears in Edwin Woodhall's Detective Days (1929). Very glad you did upload it though. It's a bobby dazzler. PixSrgy ( talk) 11:22, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
RE: Toplis photo. I can email you if you prefer? We are in the process of creating a small Toplis display for The Glassworks pub in Chesterfield. The pub stands on the corner of Sheffield Road and Sanforth Street - the street where Percy was born. We're keen to use the image in the display and would prefer to have the permission of the owner (as it is in a public place). As the Nottingham Evening Post don't possess the picture, we are wondering who does? PixSrgy ( talk) 19:28, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Sorry but I've just realised its not clear who uploaded the picture. If you were to click on the picture of Percy Toplis (posing as an officer) in the media viewer's history panel, it suggests that the user Skjoldbro uploaded it in May 2018. But the history comparison tool suggests Jack1956 performed the upload:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Percy_Toplis&type=revision&diff=401602089&oldid=401601677

Thanks, that's great. I spotted the full Toplis pic among your 'My Pictures' list on your user page and thought there was a better chance you might have uploaded it. One thing I did learn during the time we spent seeking permission to use it, is that the picture doesn't belong to any of the archives that it's previously been attributed to - not the Imperial War Museum, not the Nottingham Evening Post, not the Carlisle Archive Centre (Cumebrland Constabulary Archive) and not the British Library. Given that the same cropped version appeared in the Daily Mail on the very same day, it always seemed doubtful that it was owned by the Nottingham Evening Post (especially as both papers had made substantial efforts to 'remove' the chair in the background). See you're interested in the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee. Interesting to see Charles Reeve's nephew, Harry Reeve at the centre of the rumpus at Etaples. The account of the mutiny by James Cullen confirms this pretty much (famous boxer, holder of the Lonsdale belt etc). Fascinating period. PixSrgy ( talk) 08:27, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hi! May I ask how you ascertained the date of creation of File:Major General H. G. Robley MA I175386 TePapa.jpg to be c. 1887?-- Roy17 ( talk) 20:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
I'm afraid I can't remember after all this time but it must have been based on some evidence. I know the source says 1860 but he doesn't exactly look 20 in it, does he?
Check the link for a portrait of Robley aged about 20 and a photograph in 1895 in which he looks rather more like the image here. https://www.robley.org.uk/h-g-robley.html Jack1956 ( talk) 22:11, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
On 9 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Wrightson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John Wrightson, a pioneer in agricultural education, was in 1890 reputedly the first British surfer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Wrightson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, John Wrightson), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

The sad news was the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
... that the first attempt to build the Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra resulted in the demolition of the nearly completed structure?
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a
Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of
Cork,
Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to
Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the
Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of
Dublin. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

A suicide attack on July 11th claimed by Islamic State (IS) near a church in the Syrian city of Qamishli shows that Christians remain a major target of the terror group. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.
The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's
relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly
unchaste or
sexually abused individuals.

Hello Jack1956,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 803 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the
NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some
really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet
T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is
one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the
Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by
Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by
avant garde artist
Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the
Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for
Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers
Lancelot Andrewes,
Dante Alighieri and
St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of
anti-Semitism on Eliot's part.

A tag has been placed on Category:Literary characters introduced in 1837 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Sullivan Bumble 1948.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot ( talk) 01:00, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jack1956,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from
Scapino without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Great to see this page under construction and links being activated to all signatories; also really good to see a suitable CC image on this important historical item for wikipedia.
I had attempted to seek use permission from Museums Officer at Sussex Past, but on 1st November 2019 had this response:
Thank you for your email regarding the possible use of an image of the suffragette handkerchief to illustrate your article for Wikipedia. I have to say that we would ordinarily agree to use of a low resolution image only. However reading through the common license document I am unsure as to whether we would want to grant such clear/free use of our image through wikipages.
For a number of reasons I do not currently have time to resolve the questions this issue poses. I must therefore decline permission at the moment. It might be that I have more time to investigate the matter in a few weeks at which point my opinion/concerns may be removed. I am sorry to disappoint.
And I sent a gentle reminder on CC licences on 20 December 2019, no reply. Thought you would want to know this communication took place - Thank you for this article and other helpful suffragettes edits.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Scapino Ambassador Theatre 1975.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 21:31, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kitty Loftus. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Kitty Loftus), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Good afternoon
I work for the Farmington Institute and was just looking at editing the page about us, as we are no longer called The Farmington Institute for Christian Studies, just The Farmington Institute, as we now cover all religions.
I can see how to edit the text, but I can't see how to edit the actual name of the page. I was also updating the details for the Director of the Institute, Ralph Waller, and took out the 'for Christian Studies' bit out of his text, but now it won't link to the Farmington page.
I am completely new to Wikipedia, so any help you can give would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks for your time.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Natal Mounted Police requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://video-games-for-healthy-living.com/natal-mounted-police-nominal-rolls/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello Jack1956,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

This sheet music caught my attention. "Written by Tom Browne" - this may be my great-grand-uncle, Tom Browne, King of Whistlers. I have him as a lyricist in another song with music by Roger Harding. I have a program from 5 July 1897 at The Pavilion in London in which both Harry Freeman and Tom Browne appear. Would like to send you that. Would also love to see the entire song "They Were All Occupied." My email address jimkass33@gmail.com. Thank you.

Thank you for your review. Margaret was indeed a remarkable woman. She was extraordinarily canny and diplomatic, and a real survivor. Would have made an excellent prime minister.

[1] No. I am really not happy about that hook. I had already removed the additional quotation that the hook is based on, before I realised that EEng had turned it into a hook and you had OKed it. I have left my reasons. The subject has only been dead a fortnight. I was at her funeral and her memorial service. I want the article to do her justice. The addition to the article (on which that hook was based) put a focus on her media role that overshadowed ever other aspect of her remarkable life. Amandajm ( talk) 10:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jack. I've just been looking through your interesting article which reminded me of many of the variety stars of my early days. I took the liberty of moving the title simply to Hippodrome, Aldershot (in line with Hippodrome, London, etc.) as this appears to be the usual style. It also makes it easier to find the article in searches. I found the capitalised "The Hippodrome" unusual in the running text and changed the definite article to lower case. I look forward to seeing the article on DYK soon.-- Ipigott ( talk) 05:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jack, Yasou.
I saw
your edit here and was wondering that if you should happen to have access to primary documents, would you try finding anything with
Chapman's handwriting? Before his execution, he intentionally avoided writing and inferred that the priest was trying to trick him into getting his handwriting (Sugden). That writing is out there somewhere on a ship's manifest, catholic registry, British immigration or census records or as you have found, maybe on a marriage license. Chapman had more than one marriage so the potential is there. Obviously, comparison to the Lusk letter is the eventual goal. I'm sure it may be a challenge but you seem to be resourceful enough to succeed. So, if you just happen to meander in the archives... :)

Hello Jack,
My name is Lottie Smith. I have various Dickens connections to my family tree. My 4th great grandfather was Frederick Evans the printer/publisher/friend of Charles Dickens, you have most likely come across his name with association to Bradbury and Evans. I am actually attempting to write a fictional story based on the friendship fo Frederick and Charles, I am obviously a bit prejudice but I believe their tale is very much underrated as a story and I want to tell it. I have noticed your contributions to the Dickens wiki pages and am interested in corresponding with you about trying to get more information on the families and also photographs. If you would like to speak with me my email is lottie.rs@googlemail.com.
Thank you for all the help you have been so far!

Hi Jack, thank you for the wonderful articles you've created on Gilbert & Sullivan and various cast members of the D'Oyly Carte. I wanted to contact you about my grandmother Eileen Sharp who was a mezzo-soprano and much loved member of the cast in the '20s before appearing in a number of roles on the 'legitimate' stage. You can see the Bassano portrait of her as Mad Margaret in the National Portrait Gallery online archive. There is also a captivating portrait by Count Michael de Torby and a series of prints by Einar Nerman for The Tatler, playing rather daringly for the period, a Tahitian native, opposite Henry Ainley as Gauguin in Somerset Maugham's 'The Moon & Sixpence'. I have a book and all the archive material from the V&A Theatre Archive but would dearly love to connect with a reputable Wikipedia member who might be kind enough to take an interest in helping document this on the site so more people can know of her so she is not forgotten. I would be completely lost attempting this on my own and not able to do this justice as it is clearly quite an art form. Sadly much was lost in a fire when she died rather young so it has been truly fascinating discovering her story now that so much of what would have previously been lost forever can be shared publicly in new archives online. If you have any advice on how I might contact you or any other thoughts it would be lovely to hear from you.

Dear Jack1956 could you let me know whether you received the further info on Eileen Sharp I sent across? I don't want to re-send these and clutter your inbox if you've already got them, and unfortunately all the messages I sent to Ssilvers have bounced back. I'm wondering if it's an issue with my server... I had a lot of progress on permissions to use the images all of which I've outlined in the email... Very many thanks Ilovevinyl ( talk) 16:20, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I've opened an Rfc here Talk:The_Sins_of_the_Cities_of_the_Plain and am hoping for some feedback. I selected you off the Feedback list because it concerns a character called Jack! Even better, I noted on your Talk page the Ripper articles, and this concerns someone who lived for a time in Cleveland St near Mr Sickert. So it's neighbourhood stuff. ;-) Engleham ( talk) 17:12, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jack1956,
I like your work. I have been reading about Laurence Irving and can you please tell you where the information about what he did in the war. helping Peter Fleming to recruit and train an underground force of saboteurs.
Thanks
Hi Jack, do you have any idea whether the 10' disc wheels apparently lent by GWR to convey the Duke's statue to Hyde Park Corner were used to transport the sculpture by rail or were the GWR wheels adapted by Woolwich Arsenal for the road carriage?

Many thanks for the picture of the Hume grave marker. I am curious to know who is buried under the similar looking stone that is visible in the background. I am hoping that you are not too far off from Brookwood Cemetery. It seems that the significance of the shape of the marker is a bit of a mystery. Cheers. Shyamal ( talk) 11:21, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello Jack - forgive me if you are already aware of these points as you are a prolific contributor. So - all photographers including you (under the copyright Designs & Patents Act & similar in various countries) own the copyright of all images they take. Wikipedia does not arrogate copyright and indeed is concerned that those who upload images do in fact own that copyright as the copyright owner is the only person who can then agree that images are bound by Creative Commons. If Wiki did not take this path then anyone who used images from Wiki or the Commons could be open to legal action. I'm not adept at use of Wiki. The wording used with my images right now (which is more explicit) was suggested by a supportive Wiki editor as we often went through a cycle of new contributors or those who newly came across these images questioning copyright ownership and consequent 'right' to offer CC. As with your images you own the copyright and thus can offer them up for 'free' usage under CC. The issue to watch for - in my opinion - as I've seen some examples, is images posted under CC which also then include a note that the uploader must be contacted for permission to use the image commercially etc. That is a contradiction of CC. Hope this explains why my images contain a reference link to my website and clear statements about copyright ownership in order to give Wiki assurance that indeed I can offer CC.
By the way you appear to be a frequent visitor to Brookwood Cemetery - much easier now it owned by the local council. I see from your photo that the Columbarium has now had the breeze blocks replaced by an appropriate gate. A major improvement. Have you discovered the grave of Ruth Ellis yet? She is back in the news on the anniversary of the events leading to her death.
Best wishes, WyrdLight
PS: I didn't say that if you take an image which is taken illegally (outside the High Court during some proceedings, the Eiffel Tower lit at night and so on) and that image is placed on Wiki and subsequently used in good faith you may be liable technically for any action that arises. Unlikely but feasible.
Hello, Jack! It seems as though you have accidentally deleted my comment without replying, or am I mistaken and you have decided to use the theologian's age-old trick of avoiding logic-driven discourse?

You have reverted my edit on Pinafore with the comment "Rv to last good version. Please take your case to the Talk Page." As you are addressed and directed me to the Talk in a very personal way, and also implied that my edit was not good, I would suggest that you peruse Civility. I note that you and Ssilvers have had sustained friendly discourse through your Talk pages. This is a splendid thing, friendship, but I think it would be inappropriate to make nonconstructive edits if it simply means "standing up" for your buddy. Talk discussion had already been initiated, so your stating this was unnecessary. Please, feel free to join in the discussion there as to why you believe omitting a clarifying phrase is an edit that is not good.

I see you have copied some material from an obituary
on file at Wikisource into the above article. If the material is public domain, you need to provide attribution using {{
PD-notice}}
. But I don't think it is provably in the public domain in the source country, as the anonymous author of an article written in 1930 could very well not have been dead by 1946 (70 years ago). The material is likely not provably in the public domain in the United States, either. I have removed most of it. But it is still visible in the page history in case you would like to re-write it in your own words. —

Greetings, Jack...I was recently copying some of your excellent photos to Commons and I noticed you had recently visited and photographed Aldershot Military Museum - by any chance did you happen to photograph the old M and N block barracks?

You left me a thank you notification for your nomination as Editor of the Week....which I much appreciate. The problem is, you should not have known about it for another seven weeks (or so) by which time it would have (and still will be) seconded and move up the Queue and be awarded about late August. We have been clerking the Editor of the Week award for many years and only rarely does the intended get "wind of it"! I accidentally pinged you by using the "User10" and then signing at the same time. I usually seperate the two actions. Anyway, let me be the first to congratulate you (seven weeks early). Thanks for all you do! ― Buster7 ☎ 15:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello Jack1956
I am the Founder of the Friends of Roundhay St. John's Church, Leeds, UK. I am also the webmaster for our website, www.roundhayfriends.com. I found the postcard you have of George DeRelwyskow, 1908 and was searching to see if it was copyrighted. I would like this picture for our website as he is buried in the north yard along with several other members of his family, all involved in the wrestling scene. I have included a picture of the grave (actually the family are buried in 2 separate graves) and I thought that it would be interesting for viewers to see what this remarkable champion wrestler looked like. I understand that the photo of him in the wrestling pose is public domain.
Since you are an ecclesiastical person, obviously with many interests! I thought that you might be interested in the many other aspects of the church which is now virtually abandoned. Ancestors of the Duchess of Cambridge are buried in the south (and older) churchyard.
Keep up the good work! and Cheers, Caro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caro1948 ( talk • contribs) 18:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Dear Jack1956, thank you ever so much for the pics of Woking Crematorium which you provided the other day. This really fills a gap, well done! One question I still have, though - why is it that you uploaded them here on en.wikipedia.org rather than on Wikimedia Commons, any particular reason? Many thanks again, and please keep up your great work! Cyan22 ( talk) 23:12, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I nearly killed myself walking from Brookwood Cemetery to Woking Crematorium but I think the end result was worth it. Regarding Commons, it's mostly because I'm not very good at uploading to there. Jack1956 ( talk) 23:46, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
I enjoy a spot of original research as much as anyone, but might it not be better to put some of the references to primary sources as footnotes, rather than expanding the main text? I took out a lot of your earlier detailed (and, I'm sure, accurate) research from the "Early life" section; more fastidious editors might think it should not be retained at all. Of course, we don't yet know whether the more contentious aspects of his personal life might become acknowledged by his associates following his death. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 18:31, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

As you are the author for this page, I'll leave you to decide whether or not to include info from these two newspaper clippings. They come from the British Newspaper Archive which does not allow use of its images on Wiki, so they are transcriptions:
"Mr. Frederic Bovill cannot boast a very long professional career. After some experience as an amateur he made his debut in The Mikado, taking the part of the Noble Lord Pish-Tush. Without a very great deal to do, he makes the best of his part, and his excellent voice and artistic singing are heard to advantage."
Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News - Saturday 04 July 1885 p4 c3 [This issue apparantly also has a portrait of him (taken from a photograph by Lombardi, 13 Pall Mall East) but the relevant page is missing from the BNA source].

For the attention of User:Jack1956 Please review request for your expertise. I was glad to see that you have contributed to the Wikipedia of Cheek by Jowl < /info/en/?search=Cheek_by_Jowl> who directed the first production of the Greek South African Angelique Rockas < /info/en/?search=Angelique_Rockas> . I noticed that the first reference for Cheek by Jowl is the link to their archives in the Victoria and albert collections, which is also an external link..
The Wikipedia Angelique Rockas page has gone through great difficulties as a result of a Greek editor from Greece Chalk 19 questioning the value of stating the British Library archives and the use of scans of reviews from years in which the stated newspapers and magazines do not have direct links from the Internet Archive, and blocking every contributor in his ignorance. Accusations of unsourced material and paid contributions have been levelled , The admin Doc James is known for catching out pharmaceutical companies using PR companies to promote their product on Wikipedia , so his banners after consulting Chalk of Dollar signs and paid contribution is no surprise. The archives mean nothing to him . The real question is why should the work archived in the British Library, Scottish Theatre archive, BFI and the UK National Archive plus Akademie Der Kunste need paid editors?
Editors Atlantic and Melcous have restructured the article , and Chrissynad removed the flick links As an academic of Greek Cypriot cum English ancestry , with first hand knowledge of Uk theatre and newspaper logos you are best qualified to add your contribution to this article with its Theatro Technis and Greek connections so that the banners can be removed
I am not sufficiently qualified to carry out this task but you with your academic status, track record on Wikipedia etc etc can put a stop to this . And I hope you understand that I wish to remain anonymous. Thank you. Anon {----} sorry they are not real — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.119.247 ( talk) 13:48, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Regarding your comments about citations Are you aware :1) Wikipedia community and Internet Archive partner to fix one million ... https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/10/26/internet-archive-broken-links/ 26 Oct 2016 - Wikipedia community and Internet Archive partner to fix one million broken ... More than one million formerly broken links in the English Wikipedia ... And, yes, we are now working to extend this effort to other Wikipedia's (and .
2) Many news sources of 39 yrs ago are not availble via digital links so you cannot dismiss the work of persons who broke new ground in theatre because the news sources about the work are not digitally archived to provide direct links. Scans or screen shots on the Internet Archive are acceptable to many editors working in Wikipedia who do accept internet archive scans as they are not a `fake` .. 3) If Wikipedia and Internet Archive are working together to save links then maybe logically it is best to upload the reviews and news sources onto the Internet Archive even if the reviews and news sources are after 2000 4) There is also < /info/en/?search=Internationalist_Theatre > Best {___} Anon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.115.249 ( talk) 14:02, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Dear Professor, Good morning from Coreca, I write it to say hello and know how it is. I am well enough for now, starting my first day at university, at the age of 34...but there is never a time limit for study. I saw that you participate in a project interesting for me, which in this period I absolutely need, that of Women in Red project, I have three biographies to propose, one of which must be completely redone according to the biography on two sites not so encyclopedic . But I'm sure it will be easy for you to do it. this is the biography of Lori Jo Hendrix, I send you the two links, here and here, to get an idea of the biography to be added and reformulated. as concern Sabrina Ferilli and Milena Miconi if she can help in general with regard to the biography, to make it more fluid and legible. Sure of a positive response, I greet you and thank you, and I hope I can soon return your courtesy.-- Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino ( talk) 04:36, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Jack, you took a picture of my grandfather's grave. Did you take more than one? If you did could you send them to me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.231.79 ( talk) 18:00, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
I took three, including what I guess is your grandmother, Violet? Do you have an email? Jack1956 ( talk) 18:39, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Yes, Violet was grandmother's name. My niece named one of her daughters after her. My e-mail address is senatorhatrack@yahoo.com

Hello. Just a query about the Percy Toplis photo you uploaded several years ago. This is the best reproduction I have seen and just wondering who owns the original/source image? I've spoken to Mike Sassi at the Nottingham Evening Post and he is sceptical that they ever owned the original image. Have also contacted the British Library, Carlisle Police Archive and Imperial War Museum. They all denied ownership. Several cropped versions of this same image have appeared in various publications through the year and all seem to have misattributed it (including the famous book by Fairley and Allsion). Most publishers tend to reproduce the image that appears in Edwin Woodhall's Detective Days (1929). Very glad you did upload it though. It's a bobby dazzler. PixSrgy ( talk) 11:22, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
RE: Toplis photo. I can email you if you prefer? We are in the process of creating a small Toplis display for The Glassworks pub in Chesterfield. The pub stands on the corner of Sheffield Road and Sanforth Street - the street where Percy was born. We're keen to use the image in the display and would prefer to have the permission of the owner (as it is in a public place). As the Nottingham Evening Post don't possess the picture, we are wondering who does? PixSrgy ( talk) 19:28, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Sorry but I've just realised its not clear who uploaded the picture. If you were to click on the picture of Percy Toplis (posing as an officer) in the media viewer's history panel, it suggests that the user Skjoldbro uploaded it in May 2018. But the history comparison tool suggests Jack1956 performed the upload:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Percy_Toplis&type=revision&diff=401602089&oldid=401601677
If someone could clear this up, that would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PixSrgy ( talk • contribs) 20:23, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, that's great. I spotted the full Toplis pic among your 'My Pictures' list on your user page and thought there was a better chance you might have uploaded it. One thing I did learn during the time we spent seeking permission to use it, is that the picture doesn't belong to any of the archives that it's previously been attributed to - not the Imperial War Museum, not the Nottingham Evening Post, not the Carlisle Archive Centre (Cumebrland Constabulary Archive) and not the British Library. Given that the same cropped version appeared in the Daily Mail on the very same day, it always seemed doubtful that it was owned by the Nottingham Evening Post (especially as both papers had made substantial efforts to 'remove' the chair in the background). See you're interested in the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee. Interesting to see Charles Reeve's nephew, Harry Reeve at the centre of the rumpus at Etaples. The account of the mutiny by James Cullen confirms this pretty much (famous boxer, holder of the Lonsdale belt etc). Fascinating period. PixSrgy ( talk) 08:27, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hi! May I ask how you ascertained the date of creation of File:Major General H. G. Robley MA I175386 TePapa.jpg to be c. 1887?-- Roy17 ( talk) 20:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
I'm afraid I can't remember after all this time but it must have been based on some evidence. I know the source says 1860 but he doesn't exactly look 20 in it, does he?
Check the link for a portrait of Robley aged about 20 and a photograph in 1895 in which he looks rather more like the image here. https://www.robley.org.uk/h-g-robley.html Jack1956 ( talk) 22:11, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
On 9 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Wrightson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John Wrightson, a pioneer in agricultural education, was in 1890 reputedly the first British surfer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Wrightson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, John Wrightson), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The sad news was the 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
... that the first attempt to build the Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra resulted in the demolition of the nearly completed structure?
Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a
Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of
Cork,
Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to
Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the
Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of
Dublin. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

A suicide attack on July 11th claimed by Islamic State (IS) near a church in the Syrian city of Qamishli shows that Christians remain a major target of the terror group. The Top 6 most popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.
The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's
relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly
unchaste or
sexually abused individuals.

Hello Jack1956,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 803 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the
NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some
really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)
A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

On 25 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tom Smith (confectioner), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that confectioner Tom Smith is traditionally described as the inventor of the Christmas cracker, in 1847? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tom Smith (confectioner). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Tom Smith (confectioner)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The Top 3 most-popular articles about People in WikiProject Christianity were:
A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet
T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is
one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the
Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by
Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by
avant garde artist
Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the
Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for
Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers
Lancelot Andrewes,
Dante Alighieri and
St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of
anti-Semitism on Eliot's part.

A tag has been placed on Category:Literary characters introduced in 1837 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Sullivan Bumble 1948.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot ( talk) 01:00, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jack1956,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from
Scapino without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate

Great to see this page under construction and links being activated to all signatories; also really good to see a suitable CC image on this important historical item for wikipedia.
I had attempted to seek use permission from Museums Officer at Sussex Past, but on 1st November 2019 had this response:
Thank you for your email regarding the possible use of an image of the suffragette handkerchief to illustrate your article for Wikipedia. I have to say that we would ordinarily agree to use of a low resolution image only. However reading through the common license document I am unsure as to whether we would want to grant such clear/free use of our image through wikipages.
For a number of reasons I do not currently have time to resolve the questions this issue poses. I must therefore decline permission at the moment. It might be that I have more time to investigate the matter in a few weeks at which point my opinion/concerns may be removed. I am sorry to disappoint.
And I sent a gentle reminder on CC licences on 20 December 2019, no reply. Thought you would want to know this communication took place - Thank you for this article and other helpful suffragettes edits.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Scapino Ambassador Theatre 1975.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 21:31, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Good afternoon
I work for the Farmington Institute and was just looking at editing the page about us, as we are no longer called The Farmington Institute for Christian Studies, just The Farmington Institute, as we now cover all religions.
I can see how to edit the text, but I can't see how to edit the actual name of the page. I was also updating the details for the Director of the Institute, Ralph Waller, and took out the 'for Christian Studies' bit out of his text, but now it won't link to the Farmington page.
I am completely new to Wikipedia, so any help you can give would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks for your time.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Natal Mounted Police requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://video-games-for-healthy-living.com/natal-mounted-police-nominal-rolls/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello Jack1956,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Thanks for uploading File:Nicolai Poliakoff as Coco the Clown.jpg. 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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Thanks for uploading File:Leicester Bodine Holland.jpg. 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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:52, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

This sheet music caught my attention. "Written by Tom Browne" - this may be my great-grand-uncle, Tom Browne, King of Whistlers. I have him as a lyricist in another song with music by Roger Harding. I have a program from 5 July 1897 at The Pavilion in London in which both Harry Freeman and Tom Browne appear. Would like to send you that. Would also love to see the entire song "They Were All Occupied." My email address jimkass33@gmail.com. Thank you.

Thank you for uploading File:General Albert Orsborn.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Robotje ( talk) 12:50, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
