User talk:Moonraker/Archive 12Quentin EdwardsThanks for your corrections and I should have noted the conflict, yes, he was my father! I just thought a photo from our family album would improve the article. On another matter - I have just written and submitted my first article entitled: the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution, (an historic local charity I'm involved with) - the article is in awaiting review, but if you can spare a moment to look at it I would appreciate your comments. Simon Edwards Esq (talk) 17:31, 1 January 2021 (UTC)Simon Edwards EsqSimon Edwards Esq (talk) 17:31, 1 January 2021 (UTC) Highgate Literary & Scientific InstitutionThanks for your excellent advice re citations, which I have now added to the draft. I would like to make this article live, but now that I have submitted it for review is this possible? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Edwards Esq (talk • contribs) 17:41, 5 January 2021 (UTC) Again, many thanks for your kind advice and formatting. I have added citations as you suggest. The list of lecturers was provided to me by the HLSI archivist and Lecture Committee member, Hilary Laurie, from annual programmes in the HLSI Archives. I guess I now have to wait weeks, or months, for approval before it goes live - I'll let you know when that happens as I would love it to have a chance to feature on the "Did you know" column of the main page and/or Wikipedia: Notability — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Edwards Esq (talk • contribs) 12:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC) National varieties of English
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used. In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Highgate Literary and Scientific InstitutionThanks again for the advice - now live as per your suggestion (on Move I changed the name and on the left drop down menu changed it to Article). One last question: I would like it to be searchable under HLSI as well as its full name - how do I do that? - or perhaps you could add it and I'll see how it is done.

Gatoclass (talk) 00:03, 4 March 2021 (UTC) Cromwell HouseQuite the reverse, I'm grateful for edits. I've quoted the Survey of London in other articles - what's the issue if it is properly attributed? My view is that writing an article is just giving birth, from then on it takes on a life of its own. Taking of which, I did some minor edits this morning on the later uses of the building paragraph as I'm working on a Mothercraft Training Society article who owned it for a while. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Edwards Esq (talk • contribs) 14:27, 4 March 2021 (UTC) Thanks for your interest and addition, as ever. I don't know why, but I had it in my head that the annex was named after the Queen Mother (who opened it) not after the current Queen, but of course you are right, in 1930 the Queen Mother was a Duchess (not a princess) and the four year old current Queen was Princess Elizabeth, so your 1929 photo addition is very appropriate. Perhaps the answer for a hook could be simply to change the caption on the photo to reflect that the building was probably one of the earliest (of many) to be named after Queen Elizabeth II - especially as she was then a child who nobody realistically thought would be Queen (who would have imagined that Edward VIII would have abdicated?). If we wanted to add another relevant photo, one of the Queen Mother around 1930 would be a possibility. The closest on her page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_The_Queen_Mother#/media/File:Elizabeth_Bowes-Lyon_(cropped).jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Edwards Esq (talk • contribs) 09:57, 11 March 2021 (UTC) "List of massacres in the United Kingdom" listed at Redirects for discussion
Mothercraft Training SocietyThough at I only have one source to confirm the Queen Mother opened the Centre, I have no doubt it is corrent. She had been a patron for several years, had recently given birth to her second child and this was a very fashionable cause for women of the day to be involved with - plus its only a 30 minute Daimler drive from Buckingham Palace. The paper archive of the Society is only half a mile up the road from me and when it reopens I will check all the facts there. I think the hook should explain that Princess Elizabeth of York is now the current Queen, so perhaps ..that in 1930 the new infant-care Centre of the Mothercraft Training Society was named after Princess Elizabeth of York (pictured), now known as Queen Elizabeth II. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Edwards Esq (talk • contribs) 10:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm tempted to write another article about William John Belt - a Victorian barrister who had a couple of hilarious run-ins with the police in 1873 and 1879. The problem is there doesn't seem to be anything more noteworthy about his life (apart from a grand tomb in Highgate Cemetery, of course). Simon BeltThanks for your encouragement and ideas. I've only been searching with basic Google and the Mormons. Google Books is a revelation and I really think it is time I wasn't such a cheapskate, so I'm subscribing to Find my Past which will give me full Newspaper Archive access (including the excellent St James's Gazette), then I'll crack on with Belt - I'll try an be more sympathetic about his drinking! This could be one for DYK - I came across an old 1980's interview with an Englishman born in west Hampstead called Seymour Wyse. In the early 1940's he and Jack Kerouac became friends in their late teens in NY and he took Kerouac to the bob clubs and introduced him to jazz. Kerouac visited him in London after the war and put him several of his books as a character called "Lionel Smart". I have added it to Kerouac's page, but I don't think anyone has picked it up.

Ok. Bozs (talk) 23:40, 12 July 2021 (UTC) Draft:John Maple (furniture maker)Thanks for your comment. I'm a bit perplexed by how someone is treating this article. John Maple was the founder of what became the IKEA of it's day - a huge manufacturing and retail furniture business. In 1900 most households would have had one or more pieces of Maple's furniture. It is true that his son massively expanded the business from the original premises, but my brief article outlines how the business was created and about its creator. the article had been up for a while when one day if you typed in John Maple (furniture maker) it took you to Maple & Co. with no explanation, as if the John Maple (furniture maker) page didn't exist - this was done without informing me which I thought was pretty odd. I could only access the original article by going back over my creation history. I reinstated it, and now it has been taken down again with no specific reason other than non-specifed sources are inadequate. I constantly see articles with only one or two iffy references which have been up for years. Furnival (talk) 10:24, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The article does not contain evidence that Boot passes WP:NJOURNALIST or [[WP:GNG], and a WP:BEFORE shows no coverage that I could find about Boot in WP:RSes. Would need independent third-party RS coverage of Boot to be kept. I'm willing to be shown wrong, but it would need to be shown.}} David Gerard (talk) 23:00, 13 October 2021 (UTC) gut aufgehobenI usually agree with your translations, but "aufgehoben" as "lifted up", sorry, doesn't work for me. (Deepl didn't fare better, though.) I don't know an exact term, sadly. "Ich bin [gut] aufgehoben" means something like "I am comfortable, protected, in good care, in good hands ...". Would you find something? "längst" isn't exactly "vor langer Zeit" (long ago) but what is it? "längst fertig" comes as "long since finished" by Deepl, that's what we took, but it's not a phrase I knew before. Always learning. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:40, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
