[edit] National Curriculum

I think that the definition of the National Curriculum a curriuclum for state schools precludes its application to the inpendent sector, and your edit seems superfluous. Davidkinnen 08:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Freemasonry

I've found it better to avoid making the FM articles too UGLE centric (I'm a UGLE PM and DC myself), please try to keep entries both as generic as possible and verifiable, there is likely nothing published which articulates the relative rank in various orders of grand officers. At least no without some OR. I have both craft and part 2 yearbooks, but to extrapolate from them would be OR.ALR 22:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] The Honourable Schoolboy

Hi, unfortunately I don't understand the following: '("The Honourable...Esq." is an instantly significant social solecism.)' in The Honourable Schoolboy. Could you add some explanation? Thanks! Rich 07:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


Neither "The Honourable" nor "Mr." is ever used with "Esquire". One of the impenetrable defences of a social code is its complex unwritten rules: outsiders will egregiously break a rule whose very existence they may never suspect. Other outsiders may be misled, but the insider quietly takes note, giving no indication to the impostor who may think that he "fits in" and has been accepted.

(For example, I have no idea how to send you this response to your query, from which you may immediately see that I am not a true Wikipaede!) Jezza 09:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Good answer, thanks. Now I inkle that much goes on in the book(and Britain)that I don't sense. Rich 11:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Benjamin Bond Cabbell

Your article Benjamin Bond Cabbell has been nominated for deletion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Benjamin Bond Cabbell. As I pointed out in the discussion, the current text of the article is very close to that of the ODNB, which, I assume, has been your source. The notability is not really in question, but copyright infringement could be a problem. It would be very nice if you could rewrite the article in a way that is more clearly independent of that single source. Another user has left some links on the article talkpage which could be useful for the rewrite. Uppland 04:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry for this belated reply, Uppland, and thanks for your advice. In the UK there is no copyright in facts, but only in their expression: the "copyvio" policy may be on another legal basis? Certainly I checked against ODNB, as one should, and learned more of my Norfolk philanthropist; their succinct list of his achievements is more appropriate to an encyclopaedia than a Biography.

Incidentally, I'd suggest that everyone who makes the ODNB is by definition notable for this larger encyclopaedia, regardless whether or not recognised by Google, or as MP, FRA etc. Jezza 13:29, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
