[edit] Verity Lambert article

Hi, Paul. I'd be happy to give the article a once-over, but I'm afraid I probably won't be able to get to it until Tuesday at the earliest; I'm in a show this weekend (matinee and evening), and then I'll be out of town for a few days. I hope that the FAC decision can wait until my return. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:30, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robin Hood

It's understandable mate, but I think I can call it very early preparation? Wiki-newbie 19:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wimbledon history

  • Original post here.

Hi! Firstly good luck in your endeavours to find out more about your family history. My first suggestion would have been the Historical Dons website but, as you have found, there is no mention of a Gordon Campbell Emslie - although the results section does list the outcome of the two games you mention, which were as follows:

  • 14/10/1922, Amateur Cup (2nd Round) vs Dorking: a 7 - 0 victory.
  • 9/12/1922, Amateur Cup (5th Round) vs Northampton Nomads: a 2 - 0 defeat.

The best historical reference book is the Wimbledon FC: 1889 - 1989: Centenary Book (the source for much of the Historical Donsinfo, I understand) however it was published as a limited edition publication in 1989 so may be difficult to get hold of a copy. I'm told they do come up on eBay from time to time but otherwise somewhere like Morden library should have a copy.

I'll try and dig out mine when I'm at home and double check for you, however I've asked people on the Wimbledon fans chat site and I am told that, although Emslie isn't mentioned in the text and there are no pictures from those years, Emslie is mentioned in the appearances section. For the 1921/22 season they show him playing in 35 games scoring 2 goals. There are no appearance stats for the previous two seasons.

Also, "Old Isthmian", a contributor to the historical Dons site, is apparently working on putting the stats from the Centenary book into an online database at his AFC Wimbledon Statistics site. He's only done six seasons so far but by chance the 1922/23 season is one of them! Under the "History" / "Players" / "E", it lists not only the appearance stats for your great-grandfather for the 1922/23, but also lists the games he played in and goals scored - Gordon Emslie, shows that Emslie played 20 games in the 1922/23 season, scoring 3 goals - against Clapton (league), Dorking (FA Amatuer Cup) & Leytonstone (league).

Furthermore, "OI" also recommended that ...

  • Morden Library has Wimbledon News archives back to that period
  • North Kingston Centre has a Local History resource room with the Surrey Comet back to the mid 19th century.

Both of which may be worth a visit if you are in the area and want to research further. I hope this helps - do get back to me if there's anything else I can do.

Finally, a thank you to you by way of thanking your great-grandfather for his service to the club! Your great-grandfather played for us in our first ever season in the Isthmian League where Wimbledon (now AFC Wimbledon) currenly play once again! Do come down to the club to experience a Wimbledon game if you haven't already - it's a special club.

[edit] Reviews/reception

Sounds like a good idea to me.

And yes, sadly I am woefully ignorant about the world of pop music, and completely missed the Ian Levine connection. Perhaps that's why he was invited to the Torchwood press premiere — they borrowed the title from a song he produced! (I know you heard about the reported exchange between Levine and RTD. Priceless!) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Cornell

I have just created a Paul Cornell (Chicago) page. I would propose that you move your Paul Cornell to a parenthetically named page so that we can have a disambigaution page at Paul Cornell. TonyTheTiger 19:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monkey Tennis

That's amazing! I love it thank you! I never knew it was in such wide use (even just in media circles is better than just me and my mates). I have never seen it anywhere but the Partridge episode. Probably could have done some digging myself really...

Anyway, well done. I like. Monkey Tennis 14:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monkey Tennis vs. Doctor Who

Great, only this morning I was reading about Monkey Tennis as I also am a keen Partridge fan. Now I discover you've also contributed to articles about missing episodes of Doctor Who. Well done that man! --Filthish 00:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, they definately are! I've recently been working on the hit-US sitcom Seinfeld and it's associated characters and cast, as well as the BBC satire show The Day Today after spending a few months tidying up its successor C4 series Brass Eye and Nathan Barley.

[edit] Your RD question re 1919 or 1920 cruise liner picture

I posted some additional information to the question you asked the other day at the reference desk. Hope it helps! Newyorkbrad 01:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Even if your grandfather never visited the United States, if the ship ever travelled to the U.S. it still might have a photo in a book such as I mentioned (though you'd have to do more browsing). Regards, Newyorkbrad 12:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Allez oop ol' chap

Aye, me computer was bust for about 8 months and I've only just re-appeared in the big old online world. Not entirely sure how much time I'll be on Wikipedia. I've spent the last few computer broken months reading actual paper books.... I think there's a lot to be said for breaking your computer for at least 4 months of the year. I'll be around to some extent though, I think. --bodnotbod 03:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
