C. E Fox

edit

A tag has been placed on C. E Fox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to provide more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:C. E Fox. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such material.Seraphimblade 09:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Sorry I missed this happening, otherwise I would have intervened. Please could you create User:Pudupudu/Charles Elliot Fox with the text you have already researched, and I will help you prepare it to be a suitable stub. John Vandenberg 21:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

W.H.R Rivers article

edit

Just want to say thanks for all the excellent work you're doing on the W.H.R. Rivers article. Great read, thanks very much - Vaughan 14:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've also enjoyed reading the updates as they appear. Great work. :-) John Vandenberg 21:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

a proper hello

edit

Hi, nice to meet you properly Kayleigh! Also good to see some new facts on Rivers. You might be interested that Offham (disambiguation) has three entries, all without an article. Of those, I think Offham, Kent is where Offham Rectory is. I wonder how far away Offham is from West Malling. John Vandenberg 11:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

-- It is near West Malling I think (his father was 'Curate In Charge Of Offham And Chaplain Malling Union' according to the 1881 census so they must be near to each other)--Pudupudu 12:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

--- I deleted the reference because I didn't know how best to word it- his dwelling was the Offham Rectory but I don't know how to fit that information in without breaking the flow- "he lived at the Offham Rectory..." yes, and? I can't seem to make it work --Pudupudu 12:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wikisource

edit

Im only new to wikisource and wikiquote, but I've chatted to some of the regulars of the project to get a feel for what we can add there. The general rule is that any of the writings of W. H. R. Rivers will not be under copyright any more, so we can add almost all of them. So, if you get your hands on any book that he wrote, or find any online copy of something he wrote, we can probably add it to s:Author:W.H.R.Rivers. I've started by creating the table of contents for the two volumes of s:The History of Melanesian Society, however I couldnt find a digital version of the text, so thats as far as I can go with that one at this stage. Do you recall finding any PDFs of his writings? John Vandenberg 11:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

--- Go onto the 'Published Works' section. I posted some links on there: The Todas, The Action of Drugs, Volume one of the History of Melanesian Society, The Repression of War Experience and Instinct and the Unconscious. I also have Medicine Magic and Religion, Conflict and Dream and several other published articles etc in book forms and will start typing up. Is this ok? --Pudupudu 11:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The link for Volume one of the History of Melanesian Society[1] is actually only a few pages. Do you have more of this work in digital form? (the table of contents is really intriguing; I now want to read more of it!)
I've just now had a look at "the Todas" PDF, and that will be pretty easy to put online. I'll do that now :-) John Vandenberg 11:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

- I'll have a look and if I can't find it I will try to get hold of a copy of the books. If all else fails then I'll have another look in October when I get to test out the claim that the Bodleian Library has a copy of every published book --Pudupudu 12:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Don't be discouraged!

edit

Please, don't be discouraged! Your work was very good, it is just it's not alongside the specifications a wikipedia article should be. If you require any help with the article, i would be happy to help you where you have any problems. Although i'm not a religious man in any way, perhaps a nice little bible quote would suffice;

The Action of Drugs

edit

I have finished transcribing the portions of s:The Action of Drugs that were in the PDF. If you have time to proof read it, that would be great. John Vandenberg 07:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

    • Thanks for that- I'll take a look :-D Got lots of new info from the Imperial War Museum that I'll put up as soon as they send me the photo-copies as well as two new photos and a sample of his writing --Pudupudu 09:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks!

Rivers

edit

Hi Pudupudu, a biography sounds like a fantastic idea as the Slobodin one is certainly a little sparse. I'm afraid I couldn't comment on the bipolar issue on the information available but I'd certainly like to hear more, so I'd be interested to look over any info you have. I've never heard anyone mention this before so sounds a bit unlikely, but then again, it could be because there's not a lot about his life been published. I think you'd be perfectly qualified to write a biography and do let me know if I can help. You should be able to email me from me user page but if not drop me a message via wp. All the best - Vaughan (talk) 22:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hentry Head article

edit

Hi Kayleigh,

Firstly get some sleep. You've been working on the article for almost 24 hours straight. Really, get some sleep. It's an important physiological function to say the least. Secondly, the article is excellent and well done on sorting the references out. It does have a little more of a literary style than is usual for Wikipedia and almost certainly your more descriptive prose will be edited away to something rather more stark, but it's remarkably thorough. I've just gone through and squashed a few typos, but very little else. - Vaughan (talk) 19:47, 22 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image without license

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:My Cross Country Pictures 122.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC).

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

edit

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Anyone for Rivers?

edit

Hmm. Have you by any chance seen the In Memoriam exhibition at the IWM? Deb (talk) 21:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes, but since I started the Rivers article in 2002 I haven't been back and looked at it! My, how it has grown! Deb (talk) 11:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
I put your C. E. Fox back, only to discover the article had been recreated at Charles Elliot Fox (this was incorrect, it should have been restored and moved from the original title to avoid losing your original edits). But at least now I've added it to the Charles Fox disambiguation page and created redirects. Deb (talk) 11:24, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
I didn't move it (not intentionally anyway). I'm really not too up on the technical side of this site (got really excited when I learnt how to cite sources though). Someone pointed out where I might look for more information on Fox so I'll follow that up and hopefully have more on him soon. I'm updating Rivers's friend's pages as I go along (did Head's last) and decided to revamp Rivers's since I had found out a lot more since my last attempt. I have only finished up to 'pre-war psychological work' so it doesn't read too well after that point (I'm going to change that section for 'Diffusionism' and then update World War One and Post War) --Pudupudu (talk) 11:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
No, I know you didn't do it. I meant that the person who did move it should have done it a different way. Don't make the Rivers article too long though. Some people's browsers can't cope with long articles, which is why it gives you a warning message when it gets over a certain size. If you want, you can always split it into sub-articles. But personally, I think you should save most of the material for your book.
There's a vague connection between this subject and Barbara Pym the novelist (in case you didn't know, I'm on the committee of the BP Society now. She worked for the African Institute, on their journal "Africa", and a lot of her novels have anthropologists as characters. I don't know if you've read any? Deb (talk) 12:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
I've actually never heard of her though I will certainly look into it now! Re the Rivers article, I do tend to get a bit carried away! I'll tidy the sections I haven't edited up a bit and then leave it at that. I suppose I'm just a bit impatient; I haven't yet gathered enough information to make a book of but I have enough to be excited about it and want to share what I know. I'll try to be a little less enthusiastic! --Pudupudu (talk) 12:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
