Re: Frankenstein - A New Musical

Wow! That's so cool that you were in the UK production! Do you have a Playbill or program or something from the show? That can be used as a source for finding more info. Happy editing! --Bialytock&Bloom (talk) 16:16, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Yep, I was Alphonse. It's an incredible show - I can't believe the Off-Broadway version closed so quickly. I do have a playbill, from the UK production, I'll scan it in over the next few days & post it on here for you.Butcherscross (talk) 22:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

James Channing Shaw

Thanks for your note. You're welcome to improve the article and remove the prod banner if you wish to, but the Google hits I got for the subject were primarily from his blog, directories, or sites advertising his one (1) book. I don't think he's notable enough for an article. PKT(alk) 12:10, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Nostradamus and Samuel Pepys

OK, see what you think of my attempt to integrate your material into 'Nostradamus'!

(I grew up at Lewes, BTW!) --PL (talk) 16:49, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Looks good to me, PL! Says exactly what it needs to say! Thanks for replying. Pepys was told the story by Sir George Carteret, who was Vice-Chamberlain to King Charles II, so the story had evidently reached fairly influential ears by 1667. One obvious question springs to mind - if the story of the plaque being found during the supposed 1620's exhumation is true, why didn't they also spot the plaque/medallion intended for the French Revolution exhumation at the time? I wonder if there actually WAS a plaque, which simply cursed anyone who exhumed the body (without mentioning dates), and the "exact date & time" legend was just a mythical embellishment to the story of that genuine discovery? (PS - I love Lewes, very interesting & historical town! I'm in Hastings, less than an hour's drive away!) Butcherscross (talk) 23:27, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I rather doubt whether there was a plaque. It's a nice urban story, though, and makes the flesh creep: the addition of further details, such as the exhumation date, is typical of an urban myth. (Nice point about the second, 'Revolution' medallion!) As for Lewes (too many hills these days for somebody my age), I actually spent four years of my childhood at Bexhill: used to play on Galley Hill, between Bexhill and St Leonards... --PL (talk) 08:21, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
