Eugh. I'd missed out a closing slash in one of the refs. All sorted now! Thanks for taking a look. Smith609 Talk 18:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC) Scouting for BoysThanks - I think I saw it last year but it'll take another viewing. DuncanHill (talk) 23:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC) Category:Members of parliament for constituencies in CornwallHi Vernon. I thought I'd let you know that the above category you created needs a capital 'P' for "parliament". I'm not sure if you use WP:AWB, but if not, you could add the category onto WP:CFR instead of doing it manually. Regards, Craigy (talk) 03:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
MetaHi Vernon, hope all is well with you and yours. I noticed you signed the community petition at Meta from an IP address. You shoul be able to log in to Meta using your Wikipedia username and password now with the new unified log in. DuncanHill (talk) 12:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC) ThanksThanks for the postcard - I hope things are well with you. DuncanHill (talk) 18:07, 6 July 2008 (UTC) Coeducational boarding schoolsI see that you have created Category:Co-educational Boarding schools. The name is not compliant with WP style ("boarding" should not start with an upper-case letter), but more significantly I wonder about the purpose of this category (and whether there is a useful purpose to this category). Was this based on a discussion somewhere? --Orlady (talk) 20:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Speak truth to powerSpeak Truth to Power is currently a redirect to an American Friends' organization - but I feel sure that as a phrase it has much more to its history. Any thoughts? DuncanHill (talk) 21:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Lewis FryDone. Can you just check it to make sure its ok? Francium12 (talk) 00:23, 17 August 2008 (UTC) Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 NoticeHi, As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid. We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded. You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page! Addbot (talk) 19:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC) Kathleen LonsdaleHello! I just added the category British Quakers to Kathleen Lonsdale. Her name is mentioned on List of Quakers, but she had no quaker category. Problem: was she british or irish (birth place)? I looked at this page because of an article in "Cahiers de la Réconciliation", Paris, Janvier 1963. -- MHM-en (talk) 19:40, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Pease & FoxHello Vernon. Thanks for yours. I'm new to this but am eager to learn and willing to help (cautiously), where I can. Charles681 (talk) 21:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC) Quaker BanksHello Vernon. In this new environment, I will only be happy to contribute, if I can offer anything meaningful. At this stage however, I am simply dipping my toes in the water. I cannot offer any authoritative view, for banking is now largely family history but might be able to assist with original source information, if pertinent to a particular line of explanation or where expansion may be required. Genealogically speaking, my main interest lies within the scope of Quaker enterprise and the manner in which Friends were very often family, though historically speaking, almost all family were Friends. Meanwhile, I value the communication and may trust to your guidance in these matters. Charles681 (talk) 19:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
George Fox dab pageYou may wish to take a look at Talk:George Fox (disambiguation) --NSH001 (talk) 09:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC) Quaker-exclusionAt Talk:George Fox (disambiguation)#Dict-defs and less, for non-notable people you wrote
You have me fascinated, perhaps especially in light of (IIRC) Newton's fictional Puritan roommate's experiences in Quicksilver (novel), including seeing a Quaker abused (murdered?) by a noble student (who, later, was at least in the royal retinue and maybe king or pretender; the trilogy/octalogy has far too many details to retain or, for me, even track the implicit ones while reading), and in light of this Fox's U-age coming over a century later. Are we talking about some kind of oath? About explicit exclusion of non-conformists? (Neal Stephenson might lie to me, uh, i mean us, about that.)
SwanpoolAs you worked out, NQR was not quite right. There was nothing seriously wrong, the hat note(s)were just a little unwieldy. If I have the opportunity this morning (AEDT) I will have a go at creating the disambiguation page. Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 19:38, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Guy BarnettI have undone your reversal of Jim Knight's description of Guy Barnett on the latter's page. The source is clearly biased. Sorry to sound so dreary about something so trivial! :) 79.73.87.25 (talk) 16:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC) Cornish publishersThanks for your work on the Twelveheads Press. Do you feel inclined to a collaborative project on Cornish Publishers or publishers of material on Cornwall? Vernon White . . . Talk 10:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Heres a list of one I have found so far. Talskiddy (talk)
From a new article"[William Clift's] only daughter, Caroline Amelia Clift, was married at New St. Pancras Church on 20 July 1835 to Professor (now Sir Richard) Owen, and died at Sheen Lodge, Richmond Park, on 7 May 1873, aged 70. A pleasing glimpse into her character is afforded by a passage in Caroline Fox's Journals (first ed. p. 137)." DuncanHill (talk) 21:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC) New articleJust noticed this Falmouth Art Gallery and thought it might be up your street! DuncanHill (talk) 14:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC) Tresidder/Municipal buildingsThis report [1] confirms him as the architect. From a swift google it looks like he was at some point the borough surveyor for Falmouth. DuncanHill (talk) 20:19, 23 January 2009 (UTC) 169.244.136.204FYI: I went ahead and blocked this IP, which you reported to AIV. It may have appeared as though it was not blocked, but this was due to you formatting the report incorrectly as "User:169.244.136.204", so that anyone looking into the report was looking at the contribution page of a nonexistent User:169.244.136.204 rather than IPvandal:169.244.136.204. No big deal. Just wanted you to know it was taken care of. Hiberniantears (talk) 20:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC) Anglican Pacifist FellowshipThanks for your work on this page. I have just added a lot more information. You may want to check for any inaccuracies or issues. Cheers. 202.138.16.73 (talk) 02:39, 29 January 2009 (UTC) Edward Long FoxNew article of interest - Edward Long Fox - needs your attention. Hope you are keeping well, DuncanHill (talk) 21:30, 26 February 2009 (UTC) PolypillThe Guardian article is interesting. New Zealand will be keen on this medication too because of their drug agency Pharmac which signicantly reduces drug costs. I think that Folic acid is falling out of favour for inclusion in Polypill Wazza (talk) 09:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC) Hi Vernon39. I'm writing to thank you for the above lovely image which is helping me in my research, and to ask you please whether it would be possible for you to upload another picture showing more clearly the row of houses on the left of the picture, i.e. on the south side of Arwenack Avenue, Falmouth. I understand that this row was built between 1939 and 1941 and was originally called the Arwenack Estate of High Class Houses. The architect of Church Army Chapel, Blackheath designed these Arwenack Ave houses as an architectural apprentice aged 16-18yrs. At the age of 16 he designed the Guildhall at St Ives File:Guildhall St Ives 1939.jpg. (I left this message on Commons for you, then realised you'd be more likely to see it on Wiki.) --Storye book (talk) 10:17, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
BolithosThe book you mention about the Bolithos looks interesting: is there a mistake in the date which appears as '197'? (perhaps 1970s is meant) I have added a small amount to the place article for Bolitho on the important family but as I am not in Cornwall that is about as far as I can go. The Landowners list looks odd: there are two lists with quite different names both for the mid-19th century with only one source. Then a third list with Rashleigh at the top for almost the same date as the source.. Mid-19th century could be anywhere in about 30 years: 1872 looks like late 19th century.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 10:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC) Fishing in CornwallThere used to be a blank for the topic Fishing in Cornwall which was unsatisfactory as that is one of the notable things about Cornwall. I have only pieced together a few sections about fishing ports with a summary of part of the history based on Hamilton Jenkin (1933): obviously updating to the current situation would be a major task and the history 1850-1930s is hardly accounted for. St Ives is very prominent in what Hamilton Jenkin wrote but again that requires more effort to transfer properly. It would be useful to have a second opinion on the present article anyway.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your contribution to the Hydrotherapy article, with the link to the Charles Gilpin article which you recently created. It's good to see there are people who pay attention to references, where often the real effort behind an article is to be found. It was intriguing to see the Quaker overlap. In my readings around on the topic of hydrotherapy and its promoters, I have seen reference to the Quaker movement, both in the U.K. and in the U.S. I have however, not fleshed it out, as I can't do everything in relation to that topic, which overlaps with several things from that era. But a brief sentence here and there may prompt someone to inquire further.Wotnow (talk) 01:49, 24 December 2009 (UTC)Wotnow

Samuel FoxBritish quakers .... Do you have access to any extra info on Samuel Fox (1781-1868)? I see you edit the page on Milligan's British quaker book. Thx anyway Victuallers (talk) 13:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC) Thanks for your prompt help. Do you agree that Sarah Jowitt was his wife... any other details of his birth? I was hoping you might be intrigued to see if "your" book could identify biogs for the missing quakers in "my" painting Victuallers (talk) 16:10, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh I see. My refererence to "my" painting is because most of the articles, and the clickable template, so far are "by" me..... and lots of them are quakers. I am on the track of some of them, but in others its difficult to find the correct person. e.g. it took a while for me to stop tripping over the other Samuel Foxs who litter the midlands at that time. I have been contemplating taking an article using the picture as its centre.... are you interested in helping? I have a draft in one of my sandboxes?

Query regarding revertHello. Your revert to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World article has me puzzled. Can you explain why you reverted the article to its state 250 days ago? Thanks, — Kralizec!
