Hi -- I just added a note to Talk:Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital and Sanctuary about a series of articles in the Evening Standard that could be used to expand the article. I see that you're one of the main contributors so I thought I'd drop you a note about it. If you're interested in expanding the article, and don't have access to newspapers.com, I'd be happy to clip the articles for you so you could use them. If not, no worries; someone will eventually get to it, possibly me. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And looking through the articles I see they are abridged from The Cry of a Bird, by Dorothy Yglesias, which I see is on used bookstores for a dollar, so that's another option. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:26, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Mike Christie, but I have to decline. The article popped up in a Wikithon (unreferenced articles drive from February 2024), and some of my edits to the article were deemed less than helpful! See User talk:The joy of all things/Archive 8#Reviewing your sourcing drive edits. But I appreciate the offer of help, it's not everyday people are so kind. Thanks and happy editing.

Well, thanks for working on it anyway. I spent a week in Mousehole a year or two ago, and loved the place; I'm sorry I didn't know about the bird hospital at the time. Happy editing to you too. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 23:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
