Disambiguation link notification for August 30 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Lambton, 2nd Earl of Durham, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Wimbledon and Zandvoorde. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

DNB articles edit

Thank you for creating George Ridout Bingham. However when you do so please include a link to the article on Wikisource. You will find advise on how to do that by viewing the documentation attached to the template {{DNB}} (click on the link).

Also please include inline citations to the text you will find guidance on how to do that at WP:CITE.

For the article George Ridout Bingham, I have edited it and added those two features. As there is an awful lot to read and understand the diff between your last edit and mine may help you understand what to add to link to the wikisource article and how to add inline citations using the templates {{sfn}} and {{reflist}}.

I have also added a "Biography" heading to the article. If you decide in cases like that the lead is too short there is a helpful template that links to to the Index and Epitome of the DNB called {{cite DNBIE}}. It can be used to build a useful summary for the lead.

It links via the page number, so make an initial guess at the page number and then you can search the book for the correct page (I usually put in about 300 for the lower letters, 750 for the middle of the alphabet and over 1000 for the last letters.) So in this case:

  • {{DNBIE|title=Bingham, George Ridout|page=300}}
  •   Lee, Sidney, ed. (1903). "Bingham, George Ridout". Index and Epitome. Dictionary of National Biography. Cambridge University Press. p. 300.

It turns out that his entry is on page 103

There is also a poor OCR version of this book at Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/DNB Epitome if you create a page like you did here please go to this Wikipdia page and update the entry for the new article, if it is needed (in this case it was not as no disambiguation was needed)

Hope this helps -- happy editing -- PBS (talk) 18:52, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve 1907 New Year Honours edit

Hi, I'm Rasimmons. Comes Dunelmensis, thanks for creating 1907 New Year Honours!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article has only one reference. It should have more to determine its factual accuracy, neutrality, etc.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. R. A. Simmons Talk 18:39, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Countess of Mansfield edit

This move seems incorrect to me. As far as I can see, Louisa wasn't countess in her own right, therefore an ordinal is inappropriate. Deb (talk) 14:20, 18 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

She was a peeress in her own right. The 1776 creation was created with a remainder to Louisa. She inherited the title in 1793 and it passed to her grandson (the 4th Earl of the 1792 creation) on her death in 1843. Comes Dunelmensis (talk) 14:24, 18 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
How can she be the second when her husband was the second? Deb (talk) 14:44, 18 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Because there were two different creations of the earldom with different remainders. Comes Dunelmensis (talk) 14:54, 18 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Okay, sorry for my mistake - however, I don't think it is very clear in the article. We need a better explanation for the lay reader, if you can manage it. Deb (talk) 15:13, 18 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
