[edit] WA Inc
David, thanks for your note. Please do expand the article - I had a suprisingly difficult time find decent sources for it and there's so much more to say.
By the way, do you know that when you post a message to a talk page you can sign it by typing 4 tildes (~~~~) which creates something like this: Ian ≡ talk 01:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Feel free to ask for any help if you feel you need it. Regards -- Ian ≡ talk 01:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

David, Would you happen to know his date of birth and date of death? -- Ian ≡ talk 01:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rotto Cottages
That should be a separate list article! SatuSuro 01:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User Page
Has anybody pointed out that your info should be on user page, and that talk page is for exhcanging messages yet? You show up as a red link on watchlists and it looks really odd :) A simple cut and paste could do it!SatuSuro 02:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Then the other thing is, the more venturous you get (like the list of cottages on rotto) you can over time attract vandals, and other interesting creatures that are not necessarily as friendly as ian or snotty, and they will attempt to reconfigure your pages - which means that it is possible that Ian and drew/snotty or possibly myself will have your user and talk page on our watchlists - and we monitor each others user pages to make sure they are not vandalised. In case you didnt know that.
Your "advertising yourself" as you have done - is usually strongly advised against by many - if you trawl user pages - many have pseudonyms, and refuse to give personal details... wiki for that matter is what i would call "goldfishbowl": every word is picked up by google and parallel universe wiki's, of which there are at least two. Smile :) while everyone is watching you!
Anyway, just remember it is better to err on the side of caution in the wiki world, if you wish to be led down the dark path (unless snotty/drew, or ian or others have communicated ouside of wiki about all this) just trawl into some of the black, and dark side of the place - just type in something you dont particularly like, or something you find morally abhorent (oops you are a journo - maybe there isnt) and type it in, and there it is an article about it! Best Wishes! SatuSuro 08:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC) If easily offended by things - they're all in here!
Happy? Its up to you. Hey I might be critical - but we're perthites, we got to watch out for each other! I mean I used to go to school a couple of blocks away from where you live, and I know some of your predecesssors or compatriots, that's not that many degrees of separation? :)
Re your user page - If you havent been given the line on the degrees of separation re the info, all you is need sub pages, or links - and that is usually enough - take my sub pages, you could probably work out who I am on my silly userbox page gone mad, but it's not accessed very much dosnt show on recent changes because I am rarely there. Some females had photos on their user pages, and have found less problems by removing them.
Also - vip - the second you get enough on this talk page, or if you get a raver like me and you dont like to be reminded of the tripe that I have laid upon you - all you have to do is archive your talk page - it's a cinch - and there is no fixed size/length of the page at which you choose to archive it - best to get the practice in before you really need it!
Best Wishes from the hills, SatuSuro 12:33, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Justin Cartwright
I think that the problem is Wikipedia doesn't seem to have an image of Justin Cartwright. It can be difficult to obtain photographs of living people without encountering copyright problems. For advice on how you might get a picture, you could have a look at Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial.
Your article is excellent; all I did was a bit of tidying up.
Two other thoughts: In Every Face I Meet is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable books/4. I wondered if you might feel able to have a go at that?
I clicked on "What links here", and found there is a mention of Justin Cartwright writing a spin-off novel to The New Avengers (TV series). Can we be sure this is the same person?. CarolGray 18:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ian Constable
Hi David, Normally if you mis-name an article, all you have to do is press the "move" tab and enter the correct name. I moved it to "Ian Constable" without any problems, so I don't know why you had a problem. Not to worry though, its fixed now. It looks like a nice article - I'll have a read. One tip: we don't cite academic qualifications for individuals - honorifics and only in certain cases. "Ian Jeffrey Constable AO" would normally suffice. More on that is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). Cheers. -- I@n 07:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
