Hey, thanks for adding the info tho Robert Felkin. Did the info come from Ellic Howe's book Magicians of the Golden Dawn? I'd like to put some citations in, since this info is not found in Islands of the Dawn, as the current wording would imply... Fuzzypeg☻ 02:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I am not sure how to work this, or to reply, or email direct. But I have a lot more info on Robert Felkin -- not from Ellic Howe's book, but mainly from the net -- including a picture. As it happens, he was a (distant) relation of mine, too. If I have time I hope to add a bit more, or send to you. I added him as a resident of Havelock North; pupil of Wolverhampton Grammar School. Perhaps we need to add to Categories? I have seen the daughter's name more often spelt "Ethlewyn". Can you check your source? Handsaw 17:30, 19 March 2007.

My source (Islands of the Dawn) says "Ethelwyn". It'd be great if you could point me towards those webpages you mention; attribution of information is a pretty key concern in Wikipedia, and currently the article misleadingly implies that all that new info comes from Islands of the Dawn. In fact, before I forget, I'll put in some tags marking where in the article citations are needed... Fuzzypeg☻ 04:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

By the way, that's really good work you've done there. Sorry for putting those "citation needed" tags everywhere; hopefully we can get rid of them again fairly quickly. If you want to add a citation in the text and don't know how to format it, just stick it in brackets or something and I'll format it later. Cheers, Fuzzypeg☻ 05:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that. It's fun creatively communicating and collaborating across oceans and time zones. I have added and tweaked a little, tightening the structure, I hope not too intrusively. Hadn't much time today to check the sources, but I promise to have a go and enter at citation needed ref. in brackets (and, no, I don't know how to format, but am learning a few tricks!) The added family details are given in the Patricia Pegg book now cited, and his birth details in the 1881 Census available online (see IGI). You seem to have corroborated or found a lot of my sources brilliantly. Handsaw at 00.29 GMT.

[edit] Adriaen van Utrecht

Hi. thanks for adding to the Adriaen van Utrecht article. Might you be able to provide some references for the information? --Stomme (talk) 07:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I'll work on it. btw, I noticed there are several images in the "gallery" section of the Portuguese entry: do you know how to get these into this article? They also have a caption for the main image.
