April 2011 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Dodleston with this edit do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - Happysailor (Talk) 11:35, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Your edits to Othello edit

I'm afraid the document you quote was a forgery, and doesn't meet the WP:RS standard. Have you thought of adding it to the forger's own article? It's one of the notable exploits in his career but seems to be missing from his WP article. Best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 12:23, 11 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Thomas Egerton, 1st Viscount Brackley. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Old Moonraker (talk) 14:29, 11 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Egerton edit

John Egerton, 2nd Earl of Bridgewater PC (30 May 1623 – 26 October 1686) was an English nobleman.

He was a son of John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater and his wife Lady Frances Stanley. His maternal grandparents were Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby and his wife Alice Spencer.

This information is incorrect! The second Earl wasn't the grandson of either Ferdinando or Alice Stanley. He was only related by marriage when his grandfather Sir Thomas Egerton (1540 - 1617) took as his third wife the widow Alice Stanley in Oct 1600.

The second Earl's maternal grandmother was Lady Elizabeth Egerton (nee Ravenscroft) who died in 1588 and is buried alongside Sir Thomas (Lord Ellesmere) and his eldest son, also Sir Thomas, who died in 1599 at the age of 25. The final resting place being St Mary's Church, Dodleston, near Chester.

Sir Thomas and Alice Stanley never had issue.Bernard Dennis MBE (talk) 16:23, 15 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
