Thomas Stanley (bishop)

Do you have references for this article? Regards, PDCook (talk) 18:39, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the references. They aren't quite in the normal format, however. I'll clean them up, but I'd recommend reviewing WP:Citing sources for the best way to cite your sources for future edits. Be sure to include page numbers for books as well. If you have any other questions, please ask. Regards, PDCook (talk) 21:44, 20 March 2010 (UTC).

Holy houses

There is some interesting information on the earliest houses, I think in VCH, including tales of a nun who repeatedly ran away and was kept captive in isolation, for fear of spreading her apostacy, one imagines. Some of this is good fodder for articles. Rich Farmbrough, 12:47, 30 April 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.
