Hi!

Geoffrey Trease was my great uncle and I built the site, www.geoffreytrease.co.uk. I had a quick browse on Wikipedia to see if anyone had entered any information about Geoffrey and found a couple of references to him but no dedicated page. As you point out, I merged the copy I had from the homepage and biography of geoffreytrease.co.uk. As I own the copyright, we are free to use this on Wikipedia.

Many thanks for being so vigilant!

Best regards,

Phil Trease.

I've sent an e-mail to the e-mail address on that website asking for confirmation. Lupo 07:26, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

And that e-mail bounced. If you are who you say you are, please post a valid e-mail on your site! Lupo 10:23, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The email address has been sorted out now! Please try again. Cheers, Phil. 12.28, 29 Oct 2004 (GMT)

All right. We finally got our act together, and I received the following confirmation by Phil through e-mail:
