Free content images of British aristocracy
I've been putting the appallingly ugly Image:Replace this image1.svg on lots and lots of living biographies. It occurred to me that you write about a great many British aristocrats and also know a fair number of them. Would you be able to secure images of living ones under a free licence? Older images that would now be public domain in the UK? These would add very nicely to Misplaced Pages and to Wikimedia Commons - David Gerard 21:16, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Probably. But I shake a lot and it would take me some time. - Kittybrewster (talk) 21:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Kittybrewster, you could use a tripod for this task. --Tracey Lowndes 23:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think that is a great idea, if your health permits. Maybe if you could bring the camera and get permission from the subjects, you might be able to volunteer (vt) others to acutally take the photo?
- I have long had a notion of writing to all the party chief whips in Westminster and in the Oireachtas to ask them if they would release public domain (or at least GPL) images of their parliamentarians, because far too many of them have no photos on wikipedia. I'd love to see this sort of thing done much more widely, because a biographical article without a picture looks bare and incomplete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- I suspect my health does not permit. I had the latter idea too but you are the right person to implement it. - Kittybrewster (talk) 08:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about your health :( Anyway, it looks like I have volunteered myself to chase the politicians. Me and my big mouth :( Somehow I can't help thinking on my neighbour who did his national service in the 1950s and watched a few of his friends take a one-way ticket when they volunteered to go to Korea: he say that one of the fundamental rules every footsoldier in the British Army needs to learn is to never ever volunteer for anything. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Somehow I don't think you can analogize, considering. And I'd like to think they were being noble in volunteering and were hoping to set a noble example not have the non-volunteer-ers use them as an excuse to continue not volunteering. And I gather this is an assignment you'd like (one could argue if there are no images of aristocrats then those are not noteworthy ones and wiki may or may not be an illustrated Burke's.

Red box (government)
I reverted your edit to this article because it introduced two mis-spellings and an unsourced statement. You can put the bit about the hinges and the lock back in if you wish, although having a source for it would be nice (unless that info is already in the BBC article which is referenced.) Brianyoumans 18:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ooops. Shaking. Will try to get photographic proof. - Kittybrewster (talk) 18:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Shaking results in unsourced statements? That's interesting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.66.177 (talk) 03:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Who is this seventeen year old, who was 'spoken to'? — Moe ε 18:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Are you speaking of the same person on the An/I discussion board, or the other incident? — Moe ε 18:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I haven't gotten the word back from them just yet, so I'll be inticipating it. Thank you. — Moe ε 18:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello
'ere Guv - you're posh - you must be a Jew-baiter! see here (one for reviewing rather than adding to, I suggest.)
Did you know that David Miliband's grandfather, a Polish Jew (/Jewish Pole) living in Warsaw, decided to join the Red Army during the Polish-Soviet War (1919 - 1921)? There were some pretty scathing comments about it on the 'Tabloidgraph's' web-site yesterday.--Major Bonkers (talk) 11:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- WP:COI as a descendant (through my father) of/from Ephraim_Lópes_Pereira_d'Aguilar,_2nd_Baron_d'Aguilar - Kittybrewster ☎ 11:55, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
That's my point too - the actuality is much more nuanced than these broad labels allow.--Major Bonkers (talk) 13:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- For sure. - Kittybrewster ☎ 20:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- A strange headline from the 'Tabloidgraph's' web-page: Tennis coach 'demanded lesbian sex'. Reminds me of the time I went to the co-op round the corner and asked for the same thing. I didn't get it (mores the pity).--Major Bonkers (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Please could you drop me an e-mail; I've had a lot of trouble with Hard Disks recently and have lost your address.--Major Bonkers (talk) 10:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Warranty jobs - complete replacement and loss of existing data <sigh>.--Major Bonkers (talk) 18:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5
 Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

Hi, I'm not sure which image you are referring to, but I believe it is one of a couple hundred family crests that were uploaded by a user that has since been banned for indefinitely blocked for persistent copyright infringement. The images are copyrighted depictions of family crests. -- But|seriously|folks 16:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Returning the serve
Plenty of room for improvement on Keith Mant, an article which nobody reading this page would have expected me to write, including myself! One Night In Hackney303 02:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Kittybrewster
Looking through my albums I came across a photo which I have added to the page you created for Kittybrewster. Hope you like it! Regards, David Lauder 12:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Lords of France
You have contributed at the CFD for Category:Lords of France here. The subcats have been deleted, and Category:Lords of France is being held for cleanup until Nov 5. I was wondering if you'd like to help with the cleanup, as I don't have a lot of experience prod'ing articles. Thanks, and sorry for the cut-and-paste. --Kbdank71 15:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles closed
The above named Arbitration case has closed. The Arbitration Committee decided that ny user who hereafter engages in edit-warring or disruptive editing on these or related articles may be placed on Misplaced Pages:Probation by any uninvolved administrator. This may include any user who was a party to this case, or any other user after a warning has been given. The Committee also decided to uplift Vintagekits' indefinite block at the same time.
The full decision can be viewed here.
For the Arbitration Committee, Daniel 08:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Rather a waste of time, in my opinion. I suspect that you might be interested in this. --Major Bonkers (talk) 14:08, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- And also this.--Major Bonkers (talk) 17:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think all of us should stand. Regards, David Lauder 18:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Giano's ideas are really good, I think, and would certainly improve the project. I'm just not convinced he would have any credibility passing judgment on the civility of others considering his own record at ArbCom and since. He says he would mind his tongue if he was elected, which is a step forward I suppose, but begs the question of why he doesn't consider it appropriate to do so now. Still, I think I will observe his record over the next month or so before deciding whether he will get my !vote. Rockpocket 18:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:BIO
Please note that the "list pages" and "results pages" you refer to are the result of extended discussions on afd and related forums. There is a standing consensus that such pages are acceptable, and should not be deleted. (Please note also that redirects are not held to the same standard as full-scale bio pages.)
I hope my position on this matter isn't coming off as hostile -- I'm simply puzzled as to why a harmless redirect would be targeted for deletion. CJCurrie 21:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
