Hello. You might be interested in expanding John Wells-Thorpe's page, which I created a while back. Let me know (on my talkpage) if you do. Thanks. Zigzig20s ( talk) 12:31, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the compliment on my Commons photos! No, I just visited the Nashville area once. Dreamyshade ( talk) 21:12, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi again. Thanks for those excellent photos of the Norfolk Hotel and St Andrew's Church: it's great to see pictures from elevated positions in Brighton and Hove, because these are so much more difficult to get unless you have access to a tall building. Looking at the surrounding buildings and the angles, I'm guessing both were taken from high up in Embassy Court...? On the St Andrew's photo, it took me a while but I worked out the two spires in the distance were St John's Church at Palmeira Square and the Holland Road Baptist Church. I have quite a lot of material on Embassy Court; not sure when I'll get round to collating it all, but maybe in the next few weeks. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:42, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the positive feedback about my articles. We don't get much by way of positive recognition at WP; just stalkers and other idiots. I'm not sure Cooper Park would pass the notability test , unless perhaps it's heritage-listed. I'm cutting back on articles at WP so I can concentrate on my own projects, ie 7 manuscripts I can potentially publish at Amazon. I don't know if there are any churches at BH. You might have to look up all the various churches in the phone book to see if there's one at BH. Sorry I can't be more accommodating, but as a writer with a backlog of unpublished manuscripts I decided to scale down my WP activities. I still work on articles however, eg Michael Guider, because I knew him and there's a new book out on the subject, which came in handy for expanding the article. I might be able to help with photos, but even there I've decided to cut back a bit because too much of my energy was going on a lot of banal photos at WP.

There are a couple of photos on Commons, this being the clearest; I'm sure I'll get a chance to wander down and take a few of my own at some point. Unfortunately, according to Google Street View it looks like it would be impossible to see through the arch into the rear of the hotel because there is a fairly tall wall behind the arch. I expect what they call "an ornamental lake" is really a glorified pond – LOL! Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:22, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi – much nicer weather today! Sadly I'm in the office all day... I highly recommend using a personal sandbox for building articles and assembling sources. I've been doing it for years, and I have some bits that have been hanging around for years just waiting to be launched when I get the chance! You can click on this link to create a sandbox in your user space. That should start a page called User:Zigzig20s/sandbox. I would recommend putting a wikilink to it on your userpage, and/or adding it to your watchlist, so you can find it easily. A quick way of creating additional sandboxes is to go to the Search bar and type in User:Zigzig20s/a name of your choice. You can have as many as you like in your userspace: I have about 10, each with different bits of stuff in them!
Until Monday next week I'll have very little time on Wikipedia due to a busy schedule of offline activities. I hope to start with the Embassy Court work then, although it will be a big job. With Bedford Square, I'm hoping at some point to write shortish articles on all the main squares/terraces/crescents in Brighton that I haven't already done, all with the same sort of structure: Bloomsbury Place, Hanover Crescent, Oriental Place, Pelham Square etc... basically anything with a decent number of listed buildings. This will be another longer-term project though. As ever, if I find any more useful facts for any of the recent articles I've done, I'll add them when I get a chance. Meanwhile, with The Keep opening next week, I hope to visit soon and see what they have, especially with regard to Brighton and Hove sources, but I don't expect to find any major "quick wins": it will be a case of methodically looking for interesting stuff and researching it.

Hi again. Well done on finding those extra sources on Goulty – I hadn't been able to find much online for him. I'll try to expand a bit further tomorrow. I think, but need to find definitive proof, that the Turkish Baths he was credited with were the Hobden's Royal Artillery Baths (1864–1908; demolished for an extension to the Grand Hotel).

Hello, the date on Flora Sasoon's grave in the Mount of Olives is Jan. 14th, 1936. distinguishers mentioned in the epitaph are her father's name, Ezekiel Joshua Gabbai, and her husabnd, Saliman David Sassoon. According to the ledgers of the burial society, she was buried in April 3rd, 1947. The ledgers don't mention where she was originally buried - I'd assume the Sassoon Mausoleum.

On 18 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Horatio Nelson Goulty, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that an 1866 guidebook called Horatio Nelson Goulty's Norfolk Hotel "more beautiful than any other building in Brighton"? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi again. I've checked all my sources and two books (coincidentally by the same author, but on completely different aspects of Brighton) mention him, one at some length. So I'll add to User:Zigzig20s/JohnNelsonGoulty at some point in the next few days and it can be moved to mainspace thereafter. I've also assembled everything I need for the Embassy Court rewrite, so possibly this weekend if all goes well...! Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 23:08, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Zig - Yes, I have been working on creating an article to be called "Everglades Club". I was intending it to be featured in the "Did you know.." section on the front page. I haven't settled on the hook. It should be something like "...that the Everglades club was designed to be a military hospital but opened as a country club instead". Also the history section is a bit awkward. I guess I'll launch it now. You can fix it all you want after it becomes an article. GroveGuy ( talk) 02:07, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
In this article I was trying to focus on the architecture of the building. Country clubs are not generally notable. GroveGuy ( talk) 17:28, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
This is not my article. Nobody owns articles on Wikipedia. On the other hand, I did create it with the intention of having it show up on the "Did You Know" section. I would appreciate it if you could please focus your attention on something else until this article passes through the "Did You Know" time period. GroveGuy ( talk) 18:31, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello Zigzig. I struck upon your request for the translation of the dutch Quarles page. Since nobody replied yet I will give it a try. It's not too lengthy so it'll probably not take long. Regards, Antiphus ( talk) 19:17, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from David_H._Murdock. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. In this edit you removed a COI tag with teh summary "Improve layout". I assume you did not realize it, but that is somewhat misleading. When removing such a tag, mention it in the summary, and it is a good idea to explain your reasons on the talk page also. DES (talk) 17:08, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. Very little Wikipedia activity from me recently due to busy stuff at work etc, but I should have more time from this weekend onwards. So, on sandboxes in your userspace ... strictly speaking, the correct thing to do when moving content from a userpage to an article is to use the "Move" option to automatically change name of the page and its talk page (see here). Having said that, I didn't find that out until fairly recently, and except for a couple of occasions I have always simply taken content from my sandboxes and pasted it into the relevant article name. To be honest, either approach is fine; but if you copy-and-paste, you are left with the now redundant sandbox. Options: you can just leave it there; or (this is what I do) you can reuse it for your next draft article (that's why I've got Embassy Court stuff in User:Hassocks5489/Brighton Church Sandbox 2: many years ago, I must have started that sandbox to write a Brighton church article!); or you can make the sandbox page a redirect to the main article. To do this, go to User:Zigzig20s/Mazargues and replace the current content with #REDIRECT[[Mazargues]]. Then if you clicked on User:Zigzig20s/Mazargues it would take you straight to the Mazargues article.
I should add that if a userspace draft has been edited by more than one person, best practice as per Wikipedia guidelines is always to move it to mainspace using the "Move" option rather than doing a copy-paste. This is because it preserves the full edit history of the draft and correctly attributes each edit to the correct editor. So after I have edited User:Zigzig20s/JohnNelsonGoulty as far as possible, I will either get you to move it to John Nelson Goulty or I will do so myself with your agreement. Meanwhile I'll take a look at the latest Sassoon articles to see if I can find anything else, and hopefully I'll get round to starting the Embassy Court rewrite quite soon! Cheers, Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 14:04, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi — I've got as far as I can with User:Zigzig20s/JohnNelsonGoulty. Happy to move to mainspace if you're OK with that, or you can move it yourself. I will check associated articles for required wikilinks. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 15:32, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi.
Consider the following:
We link [[Leicester Square]] - not [[Leicester]] Square
Secondly consider this:
I live on North Road. North Road is a minor road in Spalding, Lincolnshire. It doesn't have its own article. We do not need to link to [[North]] Road.
Please think about how la Rue de Gaston de Saporta is not an encyclopedic topic. If there is a link to Rue de Gaston de Saporta it does not need to link to Rue de [[Gaston de Saporta]]

Thank you very much for your message. Please note that I only translated Allemagne-en-Provence from the French. I have no knowledge of the commune itself as I only translated what I found plus added some freely available geographical details. There seems to be only one castle which was extant in the 19th century (as shown in the photo) - the Motte-and-bailey ones would have been much older. The details you state in your article of it being donated to charity are consistent with the use of the castle as a summer camp from the middle of the 20th century. The reference (which I do not have access to): "Raymond Collier, Haute-Provence monumental and artistic, Digne, Imprimerie Louis Jean, 1986, 559 p., p 251 (French)" may have more information.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Christian de Villeneuve-Esclapon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Eduemoni ↑talk↓ 04:54, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and Happy New Year. I saw that the tag on Christian de Villeneuve-Esclapon had been removed before I got there, which was good; it was clearly an inappropriate tagging. I missed your other note about Embassy Court because it came at the same time as another message. I think reference has to be made in the lead to the contrast between how it was for the last 30 years or so and how it has now been rehabilitated since its renovation; especially because so many sources support that (not just The Argus, which can admittedly be a bit sensationalist at times). How about this alternative wording? by 2006 it had been restored to its original status as a high-class residence, in contrast to its poor late-20th-century reputation.

Hi – yes, I think I can find enough to expand upon a stub, but I wonder if it might be better to have an article on the firm itself—Cheesman and Son. It seems that some of their buildings are difficult to attribute to a particular member of the family (there was another son, Charles), and in any case the two Georges are generally described as builders, perhaps with the implication that they linked to think of themselves as architects! IIRC, they were based at Robert Street in the North Laine in a building (no longer extant) which was decorated with nine skulls. I have a couple of books at home which mention this; it is a bit of a local mystery. I think this has some info (not sure about reliability; can't get into it at work); so does this (fine for reliability: John Allen has had several books published). I'll check my books as well.

I noticed that you are interested in expanding the article on John Horton Slaughter. The article has been on my (all too long) list of articles needed to be updated but has not yet reached the point of action. I can however provide some online sources that may help you in your efforts:
{{
cite book}}
: Invalid |ref=harv
(
help){{

: |volume=
has extra text (
help); Invalid |ref=harv
(
help)One word of warning about the Tombstone Epitaph article. As a weekly newspaper it often reprinted stories published elsewhere without adjusting the any of the wording. You can thus not trust the mention of "yesterday" given for Slaughter's date of death as being the day before the paper was printed. The Clifton newspaper does however provide enough detail to overcome any ambiguities. -- Allen3 talk 20:18, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
FYI, Billy is a well known individual with a long history of problematic contributions. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive716#Billy Hathorn concerns for an quick overview. He was blocked for several years but the block was lifted for practicality concerns. Billy has access to a large number of IPs and it is easier to clean up the messes he leaves if he works under his userid instead of random IPs ( User talk:Ironholds/Archive 1#Billy Hathorn). Unless you wish to deal with a sizable dose of frustration, I would suggest stopping your efforts on the John Slaughter article and coming back once Billy has moved on to other areas (probably a couple of weeks). -- Allen3 talk 13:25, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I checked the Encyclopaedia of Hove and Portslade and the ref at the end does cover the whole of that paragraph. Basically the Encyc. has a section called "Lawns Hotel" which gives a potted history. Arthur Wagner is still in my mind, but I haven't had a chance to get down to the research properly yet. I will try to take the relevant books on holiday (I am going away in 2 weeks) and do some research and writing offline during that. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:49, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I have enough to create a page for the Woodlawn Plantation and the Calvinton Plantation. However, I'm short on time, so maybe I can get to that one day. I do not know if David Hunt is related to H. L. Hunt. Billmeguire ( talk) 11:27 P.M., 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the info on how to try to get my info published. I agree with all you’ve said about that, the quality of my paper and other articles on the jeffersoncountyms.org website. I wasn’t trying to write to the standards needed to be published in a book or magazine when I wrote that. Sadly, I don’t have the time to try to get published now. Something must have happened to the person who hosted the jeffersoncountyms.org site. It hasn’t been added to or updated since 2008 or 2009. The site may get totally redone when someone else takes over. I don’t know if David Hunt is connected to Thomas Afflek. I read somewhere that the reason that David was so interested in Oakland College was that one of the big regrets of his life was that he didn’t finish his education. Maybe he attended college but didn’t graduate. The Calvits were successful planters with Thomas Calvit of Calviton being the most successful. Calvit gave or sold the land that the town of Rodney was built on. Here are sources for Calviton: APPENDIX 9; THOMAS CALVIT, CALVITSTON, AND AARON BURR: http://users.ju.edu/jclarke/josephcalvitapp9.htm . This is a larger file with references for the Calvits in general: http://users.ju.edu/jclarke/josephcalvitfamily.htm . David’s son Dunbar was published in a Journal saying that David Hunt bought Calviton and Brick Quarters plantations. I’ve read somewhere that David lived on Calviton when he was married to Mary Ann Calvit. Billmeguire ( talk) 10:52 A.M., 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for those excellent photos of the Norfolk Hotel and St Andrew's Church: it's great to see pictures from elevated positions in Brighton and Hove, because these are so much more difficult to get unless you have access to a tall building. Looking at the surrounding buildings and the angles, I'm guessing both were taken from high up in Embassy Court...? On the St Andrew's photo, it took me a while but I worked out the two spires in the distance were St John's Church at Palmeira Square and the Holland Road Baptist Church. I have quite a lot of material on Embassy Court; not sure when I'll get round to collating it all, but maybe in the next few weeks. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:42, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the positive feedback about my articles. We don't get much by way of positive recognition at WP; just stalkers and other idiots. I'm not sure Cooper Park would pass the notability test , unless perhaps it's heritage-listed. I'm cutting back on articles at WP so I can concentrate on my own projects, ie 7 manuscripts I can potentially publish at Amazon. I don't know if there are any churches at BH. You might have to look up all the various churches in the phone book to see if there's one at BH. Sorry I can't be more accommodating, but as a writer with a backlog of unpublished manuscripts I decided to scale down my WP activities. I still work on articles however, eg Michael Guider, because I knew him and there's a new book out on the subject, which came in handy for expanding the article. I might be able to help with photos, but even there I've decided to cut back a bit because too much of my energy was going on a lot of banal photos at WP.
06:36, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
There are a couple of photos on Commons, this being the clearest; I'm sure I'll get a chance to wander down and take a few of my own at some point. Unfortunately, according to Google Street View it looks like it would be impossible to see through the arch into the rear of the hotel because there is a fairly tall wall behind the arch. I expect what they call "an ornamental lake" is really a glorified pond – LOL! Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:22, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi – much nicer weather today! Sadly I'm in the office all day... I highly recommend using a personal sandbox for building articles and assembling sources. I've been doing it for years, and I have some bits that have been hanging around for years just waiting to be launched when I get the chance! You can click on this link to create a sandbox in your user space. That should start a page called User:Zigzig20s/sandbox. I would recommend putting a wikilink to it on your userpage, and/or adding it to your watchlist, so you can find it easily. A quick way of creating additional sandboxes is to go to the Search bar and type in User:Zigzig20s/a name of your choice. You can have as many as you like in your userspace: I have about 10, each with different bits of stuff in them!
Until Monday next week I'll have very little time on Wikipedia due to a busy schedule of offline activities. I hope to start with the Embassy Court work then, although it will be a big job. With Bedford Square, I'm hoping at some point to write shortish articles on all the main squares/terraces/crescents in Brighton that I haven't already done, all with the same sort of structure: Bloomsbury Place, Hanover Crescent, Oriental Place, Pelham Square etc... basically anything with a decent number of listed buildings. This will be another longer-term project though. As ever, if I find any more useful facts for any of the recent articles I've done, I'll add them when I get a chance. Meanwhile, with The Keep opening next week, I hope to visit soon and see what they have, especially with regard to Brighton and Hove sources, but I don't expect to find any major "quick wins": it will be a case of methodically looking for interesting stuff and researching it.

Hi again. Well done on finding those extra sources on Goulty – I hadn't been able to find much online for him. I'll try to expand a bit further tomorrow.

Hello, the date on Flora Sasoon's grave in the Mount of Olives is Jan. 14th, 1936. distinguishers mentioned in the epitaph are her father's name, Ezekiel Joshua Gabbai, and her husabnd, Saliman David Sassoon. According to the ledgers of the burial society, she was buried in April 3rd, 1947. The ledgers don't mention where she was originally buried - I'd assume the Sassoon Mausoleum.

Zig - Yes, I have been working on creating an article to be called "Everglades Club". I was intending it to be featured in the "Did you know.." section on the front page. I haven't settled on the hook. It should be something like "...that the Everglades club was designed to be a military hospital but opened as a country club instead". Also the history section is a bit awkward. I guess I'll launch it now. You can fix it all you want after it becomes an article. GroveGuy ( talk) 02:07, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. Very little Wikipedia activity from me recently due to busy stuff at work etc, but I should have more time from this weekend onwards. So, on sandboxes in your userspace ... strictly speaking, the correct thing to do when moving content from a userpage to an article is to use the "Move" option to automatically change name of the page and its talk page (see here). Having said that, I didn't find that out until fairly recently, and except for a couple of occasions I have always simply taken content from my sandboxes and pasted it into the relevant article name. To be honest, either approach is fine; but if you copy-and-paste, you are left with the now redundant sandbox. Options: you can just leave it there; or (this is what I do) you can reuse it for your next draft article (that's why I've got Embassy Court stuff in User:Hassocks5489/Brighton Church Sandbox 2: many years ago, I must have started that sandbox to write a Brighton church article!); or you can make the sandbox page a redirect to the main article. To do this, go to User:Zigzig20s/Mazargues and replace the current content with #REDIRECT[[Mazargues]]. Then if you clicked on User:Zigzig20s/Mazargues it would take you straight to the Mazargues article.
I should add that if a userspace draft has been edited by more than one person, best practice as per Wikipedia guidelines is always to move it to mainspace using the "Move" option rather than doing a copy-paste. This is because it preserves the full edit history of the draft and correctly attributes each edit to the correct editor. So after I have edited User:Zigzig20s/JohnNelsonGoulty as far as possible, I will either get you to move it to John Nelson Goulty or I will do so myself with your agreement. Meanwhile I'll take a look at the latest Sassoon articles to see if I can find anything else, and hopefully I'll get round to starting the Embassy Court rewrite quite soon! Cheers, Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 14:04, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi — I've got as far as I can with User:Zigzig20s/JohnNelsonGoulty. Happy to move to mainspace if you're OK with that, or you can move it yourself. I will check associated articles for required wikilinks. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 15:32, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi.
Consider the following:
We link [[Leicester Square]] - not [[Leicester]] Square
Secondly consider this:
I live on North Road. North Road is a minor road in Spalding, Lincolnshire. It doesn't have its own article. We do not need to link to [[North]] Road.
Please think about how la Rue de Gaston de Saporta is not an encyclopedic topic. If there is a link to Rue de Gaston de Saporta it does not need to link to Rue de [[Gaston de Saporta]]

Thank you very much for your message. Please note that I only translated Allemagne-en-Provence from the French. I have no knowledge of the commune itself as I only translated what I found plus added some freely available geographical details. There seems to be only one castle which was extant in the 19th century (as shown in the photo) - the Motte-and-bailey ones would have been much older. The details you state in your article of it being donated to charity are consistent with the use of the castle as a summer camp from the middle of the 20th century. The reference (which I do not have access to): "Raymond Collier, Haute-Provence monumental and artistic, Digne, Imprimerie Louis Jean, 1986, 559 p., p 251 (French)" may have more information.

A tag has been placed on Christian de Villeneuve-Esclapon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, and Happy New Year. I saw that the tag on Christian de Villeneuve-Esclapon had been removed before I got there, which was good; it was clearly an inappropriate tagging. I missed your other note about Embassy Court because it came at the same time as another message. I think reference has to be made in the lead to the contrast between how it was for the last 30 years or so and how it has now been rehabilitated since its renovation; especially because so many sources support that (not just The Argus, which can admittedly be a bit sensationalist at times). How about this alternative wording? by 2006 it had been restored to its original status as a high-class residence, in contrast to its poor late-20th-century reputation.

Hi Zigzig. The Henry article is now "live" – thanks for the reminder!

Hi – yes, I think I can find enough to expand upon a stub, but I wonder if it might be better to have an article on the firm itself—Cheesman and Son. It seems that some of their buildings are difficult to attribute to a particular member of the family (there was another son, Charles), and in any case the two Georges are generally described as builders, perhaps with the implication that they linked to think of themselves as architects! IIRC, they were based at Robert Street in the North Laine in a building (no longer extant) which was decorated with nine skulls. I have a couple of books at home which mention this; it is a bit of a local mystery. I think this has some info (not sure about reliability; can't get into it at work); so does this (fine for reliability: John Allen has had several books published). I'll check my books as well.

I noticed that you are interested in expanding the article on John Horton Slaughter. The article has been on my (all too long) list of articles needed to be updated but has not yet reached the point of action. I can however provide some online sources that may help you in your efforts:
{{
cite book}}
: Invalid |ref=harv
(
help){{
cite book}}
: |volume=
has extra text (
help); Invalid |ref=harv
(
help)One word of warning about the Tombstone Epitaph article. As a weekly newspaper it often reprinted stories published elsewhere without adjusting the any of the wording. You can thus not trust the mention of "yesterday" given for Slaughter's date of death as being the day before the paper was printed. The Clifton newspaper does however provide enough detail to overcome any ambiguities. -- Allen3 talk 20:18, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
FYI, Billy is a well known individual with a long history of problematic contributions. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive716#Billy Hathorn concerns for an quick overview. He was blocked for several years but the block was lifted for practicality concerns. Billy has access to a large number of IPs and it is easier to clean up the messes he leaves if he works under his userid instead of random IPs ( User talk:Ironholds/Archive 1#Billy Hathorn). Unless you wish to deal with a sizable dose of frustration, I would suggest stopping your efforts on the John Slaughter article and coming back once Billy has moved on to other areas (probably a couple of weeks). -- Allen3 talk 13:25, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I checked the Encyclopaedia of Hove and Portslade and the ref at the end does cover the whole of that paragraph. Basically the Encyc. has a section called "Lawns Hotel" which gives a potted history. Arthur Wagner is still in my mind, but I haven't had a chance to get down to the research properly yet. I will try to take the relevant books on holiday (I am going away in 2 weeks) and do some research and writing offline during that. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:49, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Johann Gramp, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Hock, Jacob's Creek and Kingscote.

Hi. I have enough to create a page for the Woodlawn Plantation and the Calvinton Plantation. However, I'm short on time, so maybe I can get to that one day. I do not know if David Hunt is related to H. L. Hunt. Billmeguire ( talk) 11:27 P.M., 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the info on how to try to get my info published. I agree with all you’ve said about that, the quality of my paper and other articles on the jeffersoncountyms.org website. I wasn’t trying to write to the standards needed to be published in a book or magazine when I wrote that. Sadly, I don’t have the time to try to get published now. Something must have happened to the person who hosted the jeffersoncountyms.org site. It hasn’t been added to or updated since 2008 or 2009. The site may get totally redone when someone else takes over. I don’t know if David Hunt is connected to Thomas Afflek. I read somewhere that the reason that David was so interested in Oakland College was that one of the big regrets of his life was that he didn’t finish his education. Maybe he attended college but didn’t graduate. The Calvits were successful planters with Thomas Calvit of Calviton being the most successful. Calvit gave or sold the land that the town of Rodney was built on. Here are sources for Calviton: APPENDIX 9; THOMAS CALVIT, CALVITSTON, AND AARON BURR: http://users.ju.edu/jclarke/josephcalvitapp9.htm . This is a larger file with references for the Calvits in general: http://users.ju.edu/jclarke/josephcalvitfamily.htm . David’s son Dunbar was published in a Journal saying that David Hunt bought Calviton and Brick Quarters plantations. I’ve read somewhere that David lived on Calviton when he was married to Mary Ann Calvit. Billmeguire ( talk) 10:52 A.M., 10 September 2014 (UTC)
