hello! i'm from Siberia. Russian Federation.
There's a See also link from Guy Fawkes Night to West Country Carnival, from which I quote:
Guy Fawkes is the character most associated with the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament, however the instigator was Jesuit priest Robert Parsons from Nether Stowey, a short distance from Bridgwater. Parsons and his colleagues Edmund Campion and Ralph Emerson were Catholics, who wanted to put an end to the Protestant monarchy and parliament of the day, in order to put an end to Catholic persecution. In 1580, they were discovered attempting to garner favour with northern-English based nobility in the English Mission, and were then associated with the failed Spanish Armada of 1588, both plots to replace protestant Elizabeth I of England with catholic Mary Queen of Scots. After the deaths of Campion and Emerson, Parsons continued to plot to restore Catholic power in England, and hence his last ill-fated attempt against parliament and King James VI on 5 November 1605.

Hi I'm not familiar with this process of communication but I am hoping this message is going to Parrot of Doom. It seems you have changed my editing about the number of issues of Eagle comic between 14 April 1950 to 26 April 1969. I based the 987 number of issues on the information I have after looking at the issues I have in my possession. I am reasonably confident in this number. Rather than argue about the number, why don't we compare sources and see which number makes the most sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cutaway-researcher ( talk • contribs) 12:38, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
I agree a citation is necessary. I could have cited my own collection of Eagle Comics and related research, but that seemed both self centred and inappropriate on something I am commenting on. Steve at Bear Alley seemed a knowledgeable source and the blog had stated the number of issues as 987, so I blogged him for comment. Steve's response was:
Do you have an estimate of how long it will take to check your references?
Do you know the title of the book - have you liked for other sources such as a local Library or a central library?
Cutaway-researcher ( talk) 04:14, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
I contacted Daniel Tatarsky. He did not know the number of issues but referred me to his latest book. As it is not in his latest book we are back to where we were before.
You have the information from Frank Hampson's obituary, which states the comic was halted nine issues short of its 1000th edition. The limitations on this are 1) He left Eagle in 1961 - 8 years before the end - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Hampson. So his intimate knowledge ended there. 2) The obituary was written by a Newspaper Columnist not Fran, so it falls into the category of hearsay.
The 987 number of issues is an assertion by me. This is the number I have continually received in response to my enquires. But it needs a citation from a credible source, preferable one that has some detailed information such as the number of issues per volume. I searched for such a source and I found the Grand Comic Database. This is a website and organisation that collects, validates and publishes, via the web, information on comics from around the world. It shows information about the Eagle Comic in two series 1950 - 1958 (455 issues published)(see http://www.comics.org/series/27103/) and 1959 - 1969 (532 issues published)(see http://www.comics.org/series/56321/). The total (455 + 532) is 987.
This is both solid and transparent. Solid because all information is edited/vetted before it is added to the database. Transparent because information is show on the website without any necessity to login to the site. There is a provision to dispute information on the website.
Information goes down to the Volume and Number level. The aggregated number can only be changed by changing the Volume and Number information.
I welcome any comments you have. I will be amending the number of Eagle Comics on the website on Monday.

About your Undo, http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Blackbeard&diff=439227698&oldid=439225002
The section I removed made no reference to Blackbeard. It would be much better to have that section in some generic Pirate article. Why you say "Don't be silly" ?

With your interest in all things scatological you want to watch this - there is a passing reference to gong farmers in it and the second half is mostly about the history of the flushing toilet. Also, have you seen the article sewage farm? What an abomination! Is the definition in the lead correct?
