Welcome

Nominated for DYK? Jolly Ω Janner 07:31, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

I've tagged the following sentence needing verification: "Charles Troyte's son was the decorated soldier and MP for Tiverton Sir Gilbert Acland-Troyte, his grave and that of his father and grandfather lie in the churchyard." While I can verify that he was MP for Tiverton, the other stuff is proving difficult. I'm wondering if you could offer any help? Jolly Ω Janner 20:36, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for showing an interest in my contribution. From Sir Gilbert's own entry you can see DSO, CMG etc but not sure I can reference the location of the graves other than having been to the graveyard myself and seen them first hand. Thanks.

I'd recommend uploading your photographs to https://commons.wikimedia.org/ . Almost all free files useful to Wikipedia are uploaded there, so it makes categorisation and searching much easier. It should automatically detect your account and have a similar upload process to Wikipedia. Jolly Ω Janner 23:35, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

On 9 March 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article All Saints Church, Huntsham, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the tower attached to All Saints Church in Huntsham, Devon dates to the 14th century, but the rest of the church was completely rebuilt by Benjamin Ferrey in 1854–56? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/All Saints Church, Huntsham. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

On 26 March 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Huntsham Court, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during his stay at Huntsham Court (pictured), Douglas Adams failed to make progress in writing So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, but enjoyed "sipping expensive wines"?

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi Boddah - I visited this article this afternoon - one you started a long time ago - and it's kind of a mess. I thought you might like to revisit it - bring it up to date and make it more BLP appropriate. If not then I guess I'll move on. Mark^Dask 21:31, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Britain's Lost Masterpieces, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tiverton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Anne Wignall - book covers - (pseudonyms - Alice Acland & Anne Marreco).jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 15:04, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Thanks for your contributions to Brian Angliss. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. ASUKITE 18:49, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
