I've just seen your retired notice - which is a real shame as I wanted to ask for your help. I've been asked to do a workshop on editing wikipedia for masters students of Medieval History at Winchester University on the afternoon of 1 October ( see event dashboard) & you were the first person that came to mind. I was going to ask you or others with an interest to keep an eye on the articles they will be editing in the classroom.— Rod talk 15:11, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Good news! I wasn't looking forward to having to search for my copy - the house is still a bit of a mess after Christmas. :) Incidentally, HJ, Richard, one of my family was interested in perhaps doing some work experience with Wikimedia UK - do either of you know a good contact there for that sort of thing? Hchc2009 ( talk) 09:44, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi H - hope you're keeping well and that your other project is proving fulfilling. And first off, ignore this entirely if it's of no interest. I'm casting around for another possible FAC and thought Tintern Abbey might be interesting. It currently has a "Citations needed" tag dating from November 2015. I'm not quite sure why it arose - it appears to have been an OR concern regarding poetry/the picturesque and the abbey? Bottom line - do you have a concern about the current content? At the risk/certainty of sounding sycophantic, I greatly admire the work you've done on here and I'd certainly be interested in your view if you had a specific concern.
Let me know if you do. Ignore completely if you don't. All the best. KJP1 ( talk) 18:41, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
This is to let you know that Edward II of England has been scheduled as WP:TFA for 17 May 2019. Please check that the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 17, 2019. Thanks! Ealdgyth - Talk 22:00, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
This is to let you know that Stephen, King of England has been scheduled as WP:TFA for 5 August 2019. Please check that the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 5, 2019. Thanks! Ealdgyth - Talk 17:43, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
Evening H, I hope that the world beyond Wiki is good for you. I have to say this place has gone a little crazy since you left. But I continue to mess about with some architecture-related bits and pieces, and am now thinking about Cardiff Castle for FAC. It warrants it, as the symbol of Cardiff, and it would give Billy Burges FAs for his three most important buildings. So, I just wanted to see if you'd have any concerns about this. If you do, let me know. If you don't, don't put even a toe in these unsettled waters, and I'll take silence as consent. With all the very best. KJP1 ( talk) 20:16, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
This is a courtesy notice that there is an ongoing RfC about adding an infobox to Stanley Kubrick at Talk:Stanley Kubrick. Since you are a previous participant in such discussions, you may be interested in participating. -- Laser brain (talk) 16:20, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Hiya! Just for the next time you pop your head round the door, I finally got round to finishing what I wanted to do on the Royal Artillery Memorial, and I've put it up at FAC: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Royal Artillery Memorial/archive1 (as a co-nom, of course; you wrote most of it!). Hope you like it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:42, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you today for John, King of England, introduced: " I am nominating this for featured article review because King John is a challenging medieval figure for a wikipedia article: his reign excites strong feelings amongst many academics, with historical views changing significantly over the years. He was, however, a fascinating ruler at a critical moment in British history."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:05, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Hchc, I know you likely will not see this message, but I am pleased to inform you that Edward I has recently passed FA! Thank you for all your hard work on it; I am honored to be a small part of continuing your legacy. On a related note, while working on Henry II, I noticed that there are several references to Bates (2003), but said source cannot be located in the Sources section. Are you able to inform me which publication that is? Thank you, Unlimitedlead ( talk) 23:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
