Boy Capel roadside memorial citation

edit

Hi, there's a photo of Chanel's memorial to Capel (now restored) and details of wording here:

http://www.tombes-sepultures.com/crbst_1093.html

I know I should enter the citation myself but have forgotten how. It's been a while. ~~ RLamb (talk) 14:31, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've made a reference. Thank you! The Terrible Mutant Hamster (talk) 23:54, 3 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for entering the citation! Erm...I see a citation was also requested for the assertion Capel was a former pupil of Beaumont College? There is a Beaumont College website which refers to him as one of its Old Boys, and I tried to add it - basing my attempt on your own citation - and nearly deleted a paragraph. Perhaps it's because I'm working on a tablet. Anyway if you want that URL it's:

http://www.beaumont-union.co.uk/great-war.html

I don't intend to sponge on you for future edits though, I'm going to try to re-learn. (For one thing I'd like to delete the reference to Capel dying in a 'motorcycle' accident -The Times report of his death makes it clear he was in a chauffeur-driven car when a tyre burst. I promise to amend that as soon as I can add the citation.) RLamb (talk) 03:43, 4 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, was a bit busy. I have made a citation, it's no problem. I enjoy editing Wikipedia when I have a free time. I changed the text of The Times citation, copying from the French article. They cite the same article but have "an automobile accident" instead of "a motorcycle crash." I have no access to the original The Times article and wonder which citation is correct.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited North and South (Gaskell novel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cranford (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Citation error: Miller 2013

edit

Hello. With this September 2017 edit you added a citation {{sfn|Miller|2013|p=203}} which is still causing an error in the Emily Brontë article: Miller 2013, p. 203. sfn error: no target: CITEREFMiller2013. I see a 2002 citation to Miller: Miller, Lucasta (2002). The Brontë Myth. Vintage. pp. 171–174. ISBN 0-09-928714-5. but no 2013 reference. If you indeed cited a 2013 work, can you add the details? Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 19:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

My my, it took me 5 years to correct this error. And now I see I forgot to make citations in another Bronte articles too. Thank you! Already corrected Emily's article. I will likely change the edition of Miller's work to the one available at Archive.org [1] The Terrible Mutant Hamster (talk) 22:20, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
