Talk:Francis Bicknell Carpenter

Untitled

Hello all--I am pretty new to Wikipedia, so I'd like to apologize for the lack of references as yet in the Carpenter article. I have them, just need to do some further learning about formatting. Thanks! APWebber 02:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am another novice. I added a section on his extended family. I added references to that section. Still need to learn about embeding links and references. Jrcrin001 (talk) 06:22, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm descended from FBC's brother C. Dewitt Carpenter. The article had CDC incorrectly listed as one of Frank and Augusta's children. This is an error in the LDS genealogy database that unfortunately has spread far and wide. Anyway, note that the article said that CDC was born in 1852 but married in 1855! That should be a tip off. I removed that paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmknapp (talk • contribs) 13:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

What is going on with the picture to this article? The one with the links of who is who was the best. Now it has been replaced by a smaller image. Jrcrin001 (talk) 00:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I restored the original picture with the image map you mentioned--I agree that that is a much more useful and better image.

I changed the image because there's a bot designed to correct formatting errors that changes the image map markup causing the picture to disappear from the article. I think I have corrected the problem. APWebber (talk) 01:02, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! The bots are helpful, but can be a pain. Jrcrin001 (talk) 01:14, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Picture of artist can not be found that is in the public domain or as a historical important picture. Does anyone else have anything? Picture needed! Jrcrin001 (talk) 18:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
