Thanks for your article creations; I'm currently writing a list of Stewards of the Chiltern Hundreds, so I work in the same general area. It is best to use the same layout as I've used here, with two = mark headings for subsections and no heading for the article. It is also advised to use succession infoboxes; I'll add them in here so you can see how they work. Again, thanks for the excellent work! Ironholds ( talk) 22:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:17Webscrap0503re.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

I have added inline citations as requested. In my opinion this makes the article look rather cluttered and I had the balance right the first time. It is really just a matter of opinion how many inline citations there should be when, as in this case, it is obvious that all of the facts about Cullinan's life were taken from one or other of the obituaries referenced. All three of these obituaries are online at http://www.irishnewsarchive.com/, so everything can be readily checked. I hope you will now release this article as there is yet more work to be done on it in the form of putting in the links from the existing numerous references to this person already contained in Wikipedia. Frankly I do not see myself bothering to place articles on Wikipedia in future if it is going to take so much trouble. In doing your refereeing task I think you need to give more consideration to the work you are creating for contributors and the constraints on their time. Wikipedia ought to be grateful for getting this contribution as it is a long-standing gap which it might be many years before anyone else takes the time to fill. (Jim Kinnaird)
Jim, only doing the job... and sorry you found it a pain. I am glad you have completed the article to this quality, and also to hear that plan to continue with improvements. I certainly didn't expect you simply to add more of the same three citations, though I understand exactly why this was the case here. The reason Wikipedia is so fussy about citations is that without them, in a place that anyone can edit at any time, there is no protection against either random and meaningless additions, or indeed sudden deletions. Citations, evidence, are the only things that distinguish reliable "facts" from opinion. Therefore, "original research" - possibly highly accurate and carefully studied - is forbidden; everything must have a reliable, third-party source. It is absolutely a lot of work adding one fact at a time with its citation, but the result is worth it. Major articles like Napoleon have taken editors thousands of hours of work (and 203 separate citations, some used repeatedly). By the way, a technical trick to repeat the use of one citation would partly avoid the 'lot of work' issue - if you give a citation a name 'ref name=Bloggs' then you can reuse it as necessary, just as 'ref name=Bloggs /' (with angle brackets, of course).
