Kate Quinn used her imagination describing the fictional naval officer named Prince Philip of Greece in her 2021 novel, The Rose Code, about Bletchley Park. 2600:8807:9107:D100:E2B6:A67F:23ED:3B2B (talk) 15:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

MOS:REPEATLINK edit
@Neveselbert (mobile): why do you say no, there is no reason to link when this has been previously linked
. I see you evoked MOS:REPEATLINK earlier. Can you point me to the specifics? Jay 💬 20:10, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Per MOS:REPEATLINK,
Generally, a link should appear only once in an article
. I don't see any reason why Lord Mountbatten needs to be linked again when that article is hitherto linked twice in this article already, one to Lord Louis Mountbatten and one to Lord Mountbatten, both redirects to the same article. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:13, 27 August 2023 (UTC)- Thanks for pointing out the Lord Louis Mountbatten link, which I had not found earlier, as I was looking only for Lord Mountbatten. The two links are different although they lead to the same target. In MOS:REPEATLINK, "Generally" is the keyword. It does allow for first occurences in sections, and in the case under discussion, the sections the links are in are far apart any way. Jay 💬 20:24, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Personally, I think it's excessive since Lord Mountbatten is a figure most people familiar with Prince Philip would be familiar with. Regardless, I've changed the link/text to Lord Mountbatten of Burma, which is how he is named by the citation provided. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:33, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Final years living with Pemny at Sandringham. edit
Can somebody create a section on final years living at Sandringham with Penny? 88.97.108.45 (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Penny who? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:03, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Probably Penny Knatchbull. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 16:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- I see, thanks. Well her own article makes no mention of Sandringham, so that might be a better place to start? Some actual sources would probably help a lot. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:36, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I will note that there is a [page needed] tag in the arms section. Can this be added? Tim O'Doherty (talk) 18:56, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I will look at it tomorrow. I had searched for an online version of the book before, but I have to redo it since it seems that I don't have the information on hand anymore. Keivan.fTalk 03:53, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Can't find a copy of the book anywhere. I have asked another major contributor for their input but I'm afraid it they don't have access to it, then I might have to remove that part. It is not unsourced, but is not 'precisely' sourced either. I guess I'll just hide the text. Keivan.fTalk 21:33, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Turns out no one has access to the book at the moment. I just hid the text in the hope that someone might be able to access it in the future. Keivan.fTalk 03:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well I had fixed a whole lot of parameters and cleaned up spaces which were unnecessarily taking up a lot of space. By the way, @Keivan.f what does Tim mean by "
third cousins through Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and second cousins once removed through King Christian IX of Denmark
- this link is freakishly long: can it be more strategically placed?" as no such sentence exists in the article as per WikiBlame. That's the only prose-related comment yet to be resolved. Regards MSincccc (talk) 03:56, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Not done Sorry about it, but DrKay has reverted it with a suitable edit summary to support his actions.
Done I think the placement is fine, but I removed the degree of cousinship to make the sentence simpler.

Done It was the second and third paragraphs though. There is no fourth paragraph in that section.

That's me for prose. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 18:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- I'd recommend "his biographer" or "the biographer". Done
On hold Well the present image seems to be fine as it is.

Apologies, time got away from me. Spotcheck tomorrow. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:46, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Spotcheck edit
Forgot about this—sorry. Doing now.
- 1(a) -
- 21 -
- 41 - (found on Internet Archive) - says 10 July: is this wrong?
- The articles Elizabeth II and Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten cite page 77 of Heald's 2007 book Princess Margaret: A Life Unravelled (which is incidentally cited in this page as well) and give the date as 9 July. Has the author contradicted himself?
- 61 - assume this works with the other source.
- The London Gazette is fine. Once you open it up there's a link to a PDF. The information is given in the second column on that page.
- 81 - IA link, can't find it
- 101 -
- 121 - again can't find it: is there something wrong with the editions? The one I'm using is 2004.
- 141 -
- 161 -
- 181 -
- 201 -
- 221 -
- 241 - Heald yes, Brandreth no.
- Don't have access to the hardcover now, but since you have access to the archived version I do wonder whether you have the same problem verifying the info on the page Elizabeth II. Because the book is cited there too and there is overlap between the two articles. I'm trying to figure out what the issue is.
Few issues to sort out, and wondering what went wrong with Brandreth. Might just be using the wrong edition here. Happy to be corrected. Cheers—Tim O'Doherty (talk) 23:36, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, was the wrong version. The other works just fine. Will have a look over the full thing tomorrow. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 17:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Tim O'Doherty I did add the URL, ISBN, and page numbers as suggested by DrKay on your talk page. However, please take another look as I may have overlooked or made a mistake. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 18:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, there was an error. You should have altered it within the bibliography section. User:Neveselbert already took care of it. Keivan.fTalk 20:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

- ... that Prince Philip (pictured) was the first member of the British royal family to fly in a helicopter? Source: [1]
- Reviewed:
Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.MSincccc (talk) 18:25, 20 April 2024 (UTC).
- Article qualifies via recently achieving Good Article status. SFNs don't work on this page, but I was able to confirm the hook through the cite in the article itself. Obviously, as a GA about a major figure, it is long enough, well-sourced, and quite presentable. No QPQ is needed—you did this before getting 5 DYKs? Well done. Hook itself is pretty interesting; only suggestion I would give before confirming is specifying British royal family, as many readers would think of other royal families upon seeing the phrase. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- There we go! Good to go. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- The hook is represented on Page 259 of the source. It is essentially WP:ABOUTSELF since someone is asking him if he was first and he answers "yes". I do not think it is controversial. We have another problem however, the article has recently appeared as a bold link in the news. Unfortunately we may have to reject this nomination because of that.
