I'm glad you're active again. I've looked briefly at the Polaris article and will try and do a closer reading later. It's a most interesting expedition; a useful account is contained in Ninety Degrees North by Fergus Fleming (Granta Books, 2001), and a very comprehensive one in The Arctic Grail by Pierre Berton (Viking 1988). I don't know the availability of these books in Canada, though I have an American edition of the Berton. A couple of general thoughts: a map would be very useful to indicate key geographical locations (Smith Sound, Etah etc); also, the lengthy personnel table is a bit disruptive to the text, and you might consider relocating it, shortening it or even doing away with it (I'm not sure it is necessary to have a complete list of the names of minor crew members). Worth a thought or two. Brianboulton ( talk) 11:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I'm working on Markham, he's at peer review at the moment. If you have time, perhaps you'd look at it and comment (it's not all polar stuff, by the way). I'm glad to see that Polaris expedition made GA, but where's the GAN review? Regards, Brianboulton ( talk) 12:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
...on your new family addition, which caps FA every time! I hope all is well, and look forward to your Wikipedia return later in the year. I'm not doing polar stuff at the moment, but I expect I'll be back to it come the autumn. My eyes are on Nansen. Brianboulton ( talk) 08:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Zatoichi26,
I noticed that you worked upon the Tom Crean article and I am reaching out to you for some guidance if you'd be so kind to assist?
I am the author of a self-published book about Crean's life and career and in 2020 I presented all of my research to the Royal Irish Academy, who, in light of the evidence, made substantial revisions to the article entry in the Dictionary of Irish Biography. The revisions were applied and my book now appears in the references of the entry for Crean in the DIB. If you visit the Talk section of the Tom Crean Wiki article, you will see that in 2018 I consulted with editors in an attempt to implement changes before my sources were examined and validated by the RIA.
After recent discussion in the Teahouse ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1113#Tom_Crean_(explorer)_article). I'm informed that the barriers that prevented my book being referenced and included in the notes section can now be removed yet I would feel uncomfortable as the author of the book, applying the changes. In a word document I've created, I have revised the article, re-ordered the notes to include each page of relevance in my book and I've included my book in the references. Is this something you could assist me with as I am pretty green on procedures if I were to edit the article myself.
On another note, I also feel I can add some interesting, minor but relevant edits to other Wikipedia articles that relate to Tom Crean's story. One such example being the Voyage of the James Caird.
I'd be most grateful for your assistance in determining how best to proceed with the proposed changes Timfoley50 ( talk) 19:01, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Tim, sure I’ll help with that. To be honest I don’t much edit Wikipedia anymore, other life priorities seem to have gotten in the way, but since I put in a lot of work on the Tom Crean article I’ll pick up the pen again :) Is your book published, what is the title? Maybe you can send me the word document with changes highlighted and I can implement them, with your assistance? Zatoichi26 ( talk) 18:17, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
