:I nominate Editor Newm30 for their endless page creation and Wikignoming. They have created over 2,000 new articles, largely historic characters or places, assiduously working the sources to maximise the information provided. They have reduced the red ink in any number of larger articles and so provided context and background. A friendly, serious editor with whom it is a pleasure to interact. Their other contributions are legion, for example setting up 115 new categories. Just, it seems to me, the sort of behind the scenes hero the EotW was created to honour.

Red Link Removal Barnstar
By the authority invested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this award for your seemingly tireless work in creating new articles and for having removed endless red links from existing articles. Long may red links tremble at your approach. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:30, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gog the Mild: - Thank you very much. I will keep an eye out for those red links and eliminate them, if I can. Regards Newm30 (talk) 03:50, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gaillard de Durfort

Vale's English Gascony supports Gaillard III.

But this article in French gives it as Gaillard II and cites Peña, Documents sur la famille de Durfort, which I presume is the definitive source. Page 9 of this PDF (also French) supports Gaillard II and shows Gaillard III (his son) as seneschal of Landes.

I think there might be two conflicting numberings for the Gaillards de Durfort. P. S. Lewis has Gaillard III as the seneschal with a son named Gaillard IV, but in the family tree linked to above (the PDF) these are Gaillard II and Gaillard III. To add to the confusion, Gaillard I was also involved on the English side during the war [1].

I'd go with the 1-2-3 numbering because from the snippets of Peña that I can see (through Google) the first Gaillard is the seneschal's father, making the seneschal Gaillard II. All three of these guys merit articles, I believe. If you don't feel like it, sooner or later I will get to it. Srnec (talk) 00:42, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Srnec: - I have started an article for Gaillard II de Durfort and notice that French wiki has article for fr:Gaillard IV de Durfort, which I will transfer across soon. On another point, I have also started an article on Richard Grey, 2nd Baron Grey of Codnor. The German wiki has an article de:Richard_de_Grey_(Adliger,_†_1335) which claims that he was also Seneschal of Gascony in 1313 (sixth year of Edw II's reign), which corroborates to reference used in new article. Maybe he was appointed but never took office, as there is a few people for this period? Regards Newm30 (talk) 05:41, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Blanchetaque

Hi Newm30. I was going to ping you to let you know that there was a new red link; I should have realised that you would be on the ball. Re Godemar du Fay, I note that you have changed one of the two wikilinks to him to Godemar du Foy. I have two very RSs (Sumption and Burne) who refer to him as Fay, and several other arguably less impeccable sources. Can I ask which sources you are relying on when you change his name to "Foy"? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:38, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gog the Mild: - I originally had him as Foy in my list of red links for Hundred Years' War. The French book [here] states Foy, but I have more hits with Fay. I actually change the first link to Fay, pending impeding article creation (now done). I think we can change all references within the article to Fay, not Foy. Regards Newm30 (talk) 22:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am easy either way, but Sumption in particular is usually very reliable. If you are happy with Fay then fine. (Since sending my original message I have noticed that he is red linked elsewhere in Wikipedia as Foy, as you say.) Gog the Mild (talk) 23:04, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Map tweak

Hi Newm30. You seem to be knowledgeable on image manipulation, so I hope that you don't mind if I try and pick your brains. In Battle of Auberoche I would like to take the map labelled "Nouvelle-Aquitaine within modern France" (perhaps scaled down a bit) and put it in the botton right corner of the map above, "Location of Auberoche in modern Nouvelle-Aquitaine". Do you know how I might do this? Or where I might find instructions on how to? Apologies for bothering you, but of the editors I know, you are the one who seems best at sorting out maps. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:44, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gog. This is an interesting one. I haven't seen any examples without base map showing the sub location map within map already. I have posed a question on the WikiProject Maps talkpage. We may need to request a new map. Will advice accordingly. Regards Newm30 (talk) 04:45, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I had assumed that it was standard and that there was an easy answer. Thanks for posting the query. No need to ask for a special map. The article has been promoted to FA and it was a "it would be nice if" comment from the image reviewer. I thought that I could learn something new and improve an article which was already FA. Not, IMO, worth generating a new map for. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:38, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chevauchée of Edward III (1346)

Dear Newm30

I have just noticed that you have commissioned a map of the Crécy Campaign and posted it into several articles. It looks very nice and for this many thanks. Good work.

I have also just noticed that you have expanded Chevauchée of Edward III (1346) by copying and pasting a large amount of material from my sandbox. I consider it poor Wiki-etiquette to take material from another user's draft space without permission. I consider it unacceptable to not even give notification. The usual reason that work has not been moved from draft to main space is that its author is still working on it and does not yet consider it ready for public view. Wikipedia also has rules requiring attribution when large amounts of material is copied over. I note that I have previously communicated with you regarding your copying over information without attribution.

I would be grateful if you would cease raiding my sandbox. I would be even more grateful if you would revert your recent cut and paste and wait until I have the material in an appropriate shape for the main space.

You are, of course, free to and welcome to leave comments on my talk page as to how you think I may improve any material in any of my sandboxes. You are, again "of course", equally free to research and make any original edits you wish to any main space articles, including Chevauchée of Edward III (1346)


Gog the Mild (talk) 21:41, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gog the Mild:, I didn't copy from your sandbox, I copied from battles/sieges articles (i.e. Battle of Caen (1346), Battle of Blanchetaque, Battle of Crécy and Siege of Calais (1346–1347) in Wikispace. I did not know the content of your sandbox? The last thing I want to do is offend you, as we have worked together in the past. Regards Newm30 (talk) 00:06, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gog the Mild: WP:ATT is the one . ——SerialNumber54129 22:27, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Serial Number 54129: - Please see response above. Regards Newm30 (talk) 00:12, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: and @Serial Number 54129:, I have included "previous large addition copied content from Battle of Blanchetaque; see that page's history for attribution" in a edit to the article for clarity, as I have been advised to do. Regards Newm30 (talk) 00:36, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Newm30. Can I offer humble apologies for accusing you of raiding my draft space. On closer analysis I can see that you are correct, and I should have checked more closely before posting. Your large import of my prose, just after I had made my sandbox more accessible (via a KIS box at the top of my To Do page) caused me to leap to conclusions. Apologies again and I hope that I have not upset you too much.

Nevertheless, you should have imported the text from each article separately, noting in the edit summary of each where it was coming from, and placing an attribution box for each on the talk page. For this last, see the one I inserted on Talk:Louis I de Poitiers, Count of Valentinois after you imported text from Battle of Auberoche last November. For all of this, see WP:ATT, as SN54129 points out. Obviously, if you had done this it would have saved me the embarrassment of making an idiot of myself by levelling false accusations at you.

FYI, other editor's sandboxes and draft spaces, are readily available, so, for example, I can easily see your work on the Isabella in your Draft1, or your interesting work on the Siege of Romorantin - don't forget to attribute any imported text . Gog the Mild (talk) 14:03, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Moving forward, can I assume that you are still prepared to work with me after this incident? I wouldn't blame you if you weren't. If you are, can I propose the following as a way forward:

  • I lift from my sandbox what text I feel is complete and paste it into place en bloc. In many cases it will overwrite the broadly similar material which you have imported. I shall, obviously, attribute appropriately. Any remaining imports of yours I shall add an attribution box for. I shall make any edits I feel necessary to the remaining prose of yours; you make any amendments you feel necessary to my prose; any disagreements are discussed on the talk page - ie Wikipedia as normal.

What do you think? Gog the Mild (talk) 14:22, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS My sandbox work is here - User:Gog the Mild/sandbox2. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:28, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: - I will let you lead on this one, now I know you are writing a draft. I respect your editing, which is so much better than mine. Happy to assist where required and get rid of any red links in the article. Sorry for the mix up. Regards Newm30 (talk) 08:28, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Newm30: It is me who should be apologising, and thanks. Also thanks for the comment on my editing, but I don't think that you should downplay your own skills in this area. I will start work on the article, but please feel free to make any edits you feel appropriate - after all, this is Wikipedia. I will shift future discussion of the article to it's talk page. You may (or may not) wish to page watch my sandbox to see, and perhaps comment on, how I am thinking; note that it will often have material lifted from other pages on it, but I will usually rework it before moving it to article space. Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:35, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Map of the route of Edward III's chevauchée of 1346

Hi Newm30. It has just been pointed out to me that in this map, Carentan (20 July) has been misspelt - it should have a "t" after the first "n". When I last asked Goran tek-en if they could make a change to a map you had requested, they said that should things needed to come from the original requester. I wonder if you could ask them if it is possible to correct this? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:41, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I have just noticed that Carentan is now spelt correctly. Thanks for sorting that, and could you pass on my thanks to Goran tek-en. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:14, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Newm30. I have had a query from an assessor asking that the source for this map be given. If you could let me have a link to it, I will update the map info page myself. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:26, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: - I think this was based on a map online, with changes as per articles on Wikipedia. I would assume it would be all based on Sumption as the most reliable source. I’m just not sure which book of Sumption’s. Regards Newm30 (talk) 12:25, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I checked Sumption (and Burne) before pinging. Neither show the side trip to Torigny. I shall go with Sumption then, amended by Livingstone and Witzel. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:02, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: This book refers to Torigny.
Froissart also refers to Torigny. It would appear that whole army was to go to Torigny however upon learning of position of French forces, Edward III, changed the route and those who had travelled to Torigny then sort out the main army the following days. Regards Newm30 (talk) 16:28, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's interesting. Well researched. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:41, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Results of the 1848 New South Wales colonial election

Thanks for your edit to Results of the 1848 New South Wales colonial election. Is there a reliable source for the candidate being Charles Salmon Vallack? Everything I have been able to find gives nothing more than his initials. Charles Salmon Vallack was in NSW at the time prior to his appointment as the Melbourne manager for the Bank of NSW and its an unusual name, so it probably is the same person, but it still needs a source. Find bruce (talk) 23:35, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Find bruce: - I have found a brief obituary in Devonshire when he died in 1888. I think it will be difficult to find RS as he wasn't successful in elections. His brothers and uncle though were active in the Patrick Plains area. Regards Newm30 (talk) 10:08, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chevauchée of Edward III - again

Hi. "under the command of Thomas Dagworth". Can I ask your source? I have several which say that Northampton was in command. Eg, Sumption pp 458-9 "... June 1345. Within a week a flying column commanded by one of Northampton's lieutenants, Sir Thomas Dagworth, had penetrated into central Brittainy". The context is that he is mentioned during the planning stage, so the fact that he was left in sole charge later is not relevant. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:13, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adrian (1819 ship)

Hi Newm30, I am working on this vessel but no longer have easy access to Bateson's book on the convict ships. Do you have access, and if you do, could you get me the page numbers for the voyage, and the page for the number of convicts embarked and deaths? If you can't, no worries.

Battle of Heraklion

I have had this on my to do list for a while. I just settled down to make a few additions to it, but thought that I had best check whose toes I was stepping on first. And it was started by you! You seem to get everywhere, and fill any number of surprising gaps. Well done and thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:41, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gog the Mild: - Gog, please be my guest. I created it to hopefully get interest from other editors as this battle involved Aussie troops. If I see a need, I attempt to create an article, even at stub level, so that in the future someone with more resources can expand. Regards Newm30 (talk) 10:52, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your assistance please...

Hello there, I've been creating a few articles on ships/ferries, and I see you created PS Brighton. I note the page name itself has the name "Brighton" in italics, but "PS" is not. How do you do that? :) thanks in advance --Merbabu (talk) 02:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Merbabu: G’day, there are two ways to do this, first the use of ‘ to use italics or bold depending on number of ‘ used. See en:Wikipedia:Tutorial/Formatting. There is also a template that you can use as well en:Template:Ship. Hope this helps. If you need further clarification I can assist. Newm30 (talk) 02:55, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Henry Summerson

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Henry Summerson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Richard de Moravia

Hi, I noticed that you have added Alexander as a son of Richard de Moravia. In order to keep the article to a good standard you need to quote a source to verify this and it's not good enough to simply quote a website in the edit summary. You need to quote a source in the actual article, not just the edit summary. I will make changes.QuintusPetillius (talk) 09:29, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @QuintusPetillius:, sorry I should have put a source in there, getting tired. Do you know if Richard’s wife was Margery de Lascelles? I want to make sure this is correct Richard for Alexander. Regards Newm30 (talk) 09:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DNB

All the articles of the Dictionary of National Biography are available on Wikisource see Wikisource:Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900

The templates {{Cite DNB}}, and {{DNB}} (with an attribution string), can both link to the articles by using the parameter wstitle= instead of title=.

I edited Robert de Vieuxpont (died 1264) and added the link along with the standard additional information about the DNB article and short inline citations to the long citation (diff).

Editor of the Week

Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of expanding knowledge for everyone. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Gog the Mild submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Editor Newm30 for their endless page creation and Wikignoming. They have created over 2,000 new articles, largely historic characters or places, assiduously working the sources to maximise the information provided. They have reduced the red ink in any number of larger articles and so provided context and background. A friendly, serious editor with whom it is a pleasure to interact. Their other contributions are legion, for example setting up 115 new categories. Just, it seems to me, the sort of behind the scenes hero the EotW was created to honour.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week: 

{{User:UBX/EoTWBox}}

Thanks again for your efforts! ―Buster7 ☎ 22:44, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
