House of Plantagenet

You added some women to the familiy tree which in itself was a good idea but you also added an error e.g. Beauforts were decendents from John rather than Edmund. If you were editing in this space and felt like it the Beaufort descent to Henry VII is probably useful. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 06:18, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

B/I topic ban

Howdy Dan. Would you & Steven Zhang, please consider lifting my B/I topic ban? I'm no longer interested in political battles on those articles. PS: I've noticed that it's been deleted from WP:Editing Restrictions (April 4, 2014), but not certain why. GoodDay (talk) 20:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have I offended you, Dan? GoodDay (talk) 17:42, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all. Sorry, just been busy. This section makes me wonder a little whether lifting restrictions might not be the wrong message right now. I wonder what Steve thinks? I am tempted to say ask again in two months. Dan BD 20:56, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There was no 'hidden agenda' from me, at that RM. I was rather looking for a compromise for both sides. It likely wasn't going to get traction & I had no intentions of pushing for it. GoodDay (talk) 21:20, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I accepted IIO's advice & chose to 'delete' my posts at the RM-in-queston, thus removing myself from it. In the past (before the Site Ban), I most likely would've lost my temper with IIO. GoodDay (talk) 21:26, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the delay all. I'd have to agree with Dan at this stage (I was surprised to hear your site ban was lifted, welcome back) but at this stage I wouldn't agree with lifting the topic ban. Too soon. Steven Zhang Help resolve disputes! 01:14, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A tad dissapointed (after 2+ yrs), but atleast I tried :) GoodDay (talk) 01:59, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that you & Steven are in error. According to WP:RESTRICT, my B/I topic-ban expired on April 3, 2014. GoodDay (talk) 13:09, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Thanks for both your help in reforming my behaviour at those articles. It feels good to have one less restriction on my head :) GoodDay (talk) 22:39, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated some of your recent creations for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 August 12#Single dukes. Per Wikipedia:Navigation templates#Properties, navboxes should not be too small. Generally, templates with four links or less are deleted because typically all the articles on the navbox are already linked in the text of each article or can easily be placed in "See also".

Recent royal duke moves

You recently moved the articles on the Dukes of Gloucester and Edinburgh on the grounds that they were both called "Prince William" rather than their full names "Prince William Henry" and "Prince William Frederick". And yet you've split off new articles on the dukedoms of York and Albany, Kent and Strathearn, Cumberland and Teviotdale, Clarence and Avondale, etc - despite the fact that their holders were called Duke of York, Kent, Cumberland, Clarence, etc, rather than by their full titles. Seems a bit of an inconsistent approach to me. Opera hat (talk) 00:07, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Along similar lines, you have moved (for example) the Dukes of Gloucester and Edinburgh to their own newly-created page of that name, and off the page for Duke of Edinburgh etc. You do know, don't you, that such people were never created Duke of "Gloucester and Edinburgh," but rather were simultaneously created "Duke of Gloucester" and "Duke of Edinburgh."
I'm only marginally around, but I would have advised against this move if I had seen you consulting the community before making such sweeping changes. Did you do so? --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 04:11, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies. I was too WP:BOLD. Having gone back to primary sources (the Gazette), I now see that whether each had one or two dukedoms is not completely clear. I'll start a discussion (probably at Talk:Royal dukedoms in the United Kingdom?) soon so we can all reach a consensus. Dan BD 13:00, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I very much appreciate the enthusiasm behind your WP:BOLDness, and I even more appreciate the humility in this reply. Thank you for your work to improve Wikipedia on this topic. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 13:33, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

W H Painter - challenge to your recent move

Hi, I'm afraid I'm not a sufficiently experienced Wikipedian to know the protocols for making or, more especially, challenging page moves. I would like to disagree with the change you made today in moving William_Hunt_Painter to Hunt_Painter, and query the basis on which this was done, if I may? I'm not quite sure how best to present the evidence to you for this challenge, or whether it's best done here or on the Talk page. Perhaps you could advise. As a reknowned botanist, W.H.Painter is known by those initials, as his herbarium labels and title page to his 1889 "A contribution to The Flora of Derbyshire" by THE REV. W.H.PAINTER, 1889, both demonstrate. (His capital letters, not mine) Now, I do accept he put his name as "W.HUNT PAINTER" at the bottom of his preface to that book, but having referred to it myself continuously over the last 20 years whilst preparing to publish a brand new Flora of Derbyshire (containing quite a large biography of Painter) it's something I only actually noticed today after seeing your change! It was quite a suprise. But his is not a double-barrelled surname, and I have never seen him referred to just as Hunt Painter before. (I note that name is used within the article, but it was certainly not used by me when I first created the page on Painter) The Stirchley Church website uses Painter's full name, too (http://stirchleychurchandrectorysalop.jimdo.com/the-rectors/), as do the online herbaria websites containing his specimens (http://herbariaunited.org/wiki/William_Hunt_Painter)

Whilst Painter may well have used his middle name Hunt in preference to William, I don't feel there is sufficient evidence of him being widely known as Hunt Painter to support your change. It's akin to the page on UK botanist Arthur_Roy_Clapham being changed to Roy_Clapham when all botanists who knew him understood that he preferred to be called 'Roy'. Despite that, all references to his publications - and indeed all those of Painter, always use both initials. I believe the change you have made is misleading, and I would like to request its re-instatement. Parkywiki (talk) 23:41, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pity there is no reply. I do know that you are an expert on this guy and less expert sources like Google agree that the first word he used in his name was William. I see there is a ref to a "Hunt Painter" at Oxford Reference but he lived several thousand years earlier. I intend to revert. Victuallers (talk) 18:53, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, whoa. Victualers: I am not obliged to reply immediately to any posts, thank you. Parkywiki: There is no need to request anything. If you know better – and it seems like you do – then revert the move yourself. Dan BD 19:01, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

George James Cholomondeley

Hi Dan,

With uncanny precision you have exposed the one large gap in my Clergy List/Crockford's access. I have a CD of all clergy ordained in 1864, 1908 and 1929 plus books for 48,52,60,68,76, 82, 88, 01 and 09. Portsmouth Central Library have Clergy Lists for 1841, 1864, 1884, 1901, 1917, 1913, 1933, 1941 and 1956: it is inscribed in each of these that someone at the library in 1960 opted to keep only every 5th one; so a lot were either dumped or sold! So the venerable gentleman was not appointed by 1884 and had died by 1908. The 1901 would have had it, which is why every so often you will see I update my lists as I keep a running list of possible gaps: it costs £3.70 return on the train from where I live. To think I used to work 2 mins from that Library (1986-91)

All the best,

Basher

List of bishops in the Church of England

Hi Danbarnesdavies. You reverted in the List of bishops regarding Nicholas Baines. I think its not true what you are saying. There is no reason why the seniority of Baines as Bishop of Bradford should not count. I am of this opinion since he retired as Bishop of Bradford but did not do any changes because I had no source for it. But now it seems that the House of Lords is of the same opinion then I am:[1] There are other examples too, when seniority continues as the diocese changes. Kind Regards --Dangermouse600 (talk) 22:19, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies; I did not see that source. It has rather surprised me, though, since Lords Spiritual are reckoned on seniority of continuous service in mainland diocesan sees and Baines was not in any see from 20 April til 8 June and thereby went to the back of the queue. (Something his new diocese were keen should happen, so that they would not 'lose him' to Lords duties soon.) I am rather inclined to think that whoever updates parliament.uk has made a mistake and overlooked this, but I'm not 100%. I guess I'll be convinced when I see Hansard record his Introduction to that Chamber. Dan BD 00:32, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, House of Lord often isn't easy to understand. But parliament.uk was always correct when something was published. Nicholas Baines seemed to be aware of what was coming since July:[2] You mention Hansard. Do you know where to get Hansard-records newer than 2005 online? --Dangermouse600 (talk) 01:55, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Recent Hansard is here: [3] I'm less convinced Baines 'went to the back of the queue' now, since the most authoritative source for 'how it works', the Bishoprics Act 1878, $5 could certainly be interpreted several ways. I'll un-revert on the strength of the parliament.uk source. Sorry about that. Dan BD 10:38, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Brother Michael

Hi. I've noticed you've moved Reginald Fisher (bishop) to Brother Michael, but I think it may be better to move the page to Michael Fisher (bishop). If you take a look at Basil Hume's page, you'll see he was born as George Haliburton Hume, but when he joined Order of Saint Benedict he took the religious name Basil. When Hume was created a cardinal, he was commonly known as Cardinal Hume, but his Wikipedia page is titled "Basil Hume" not "Cardinal Hume". So it is with Michael Fisher, who was born as Reginald Lindsay Fisher, but when he joined the Society of Saint Francis he took the religious name Michael. So although Fisher was commonly known "Brother Michael", his Wikipedia page should include his religious name and his surname. Scrivener-uki (talk) 17:43, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is a funny sort of mash-up though, since Franciscans are generally called "Brother John" with no surname. I'm just wondering whether Michael was ever (let alone commonly) called "Michael Fisher". If not, then we could be straying into synthesis... Dan BD 18:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He published his memoirs in 1993, titled For the Time Being, and as the author his is called Michael Fisher, S.S.F. I don't think we can be any more clear than that for his common-name. Scrivener-uki (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
