[edit] weather report

How can it be known that the weather was clear in london on the date of the "legend" when the actual date is not cited anywhere, after looking through several sources it only states that the date of the "legend" was some time in the fall of 1909. If the statement is to be posted, the date of the encounter must be posted and cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.71.27.72 (talk • contribs)

Find and read the ISCA ref, it explains it in great detail.Rlevse 02:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bitmap image

The invisible Image:William boyce.bmp should be converted to a PNG. How was a bitmap image even uploaded to Wikipedia? Whenever, I've tried, I always received an error message.--Clearspeak 07:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It was uploaded three years ago- there was probably no checking in place. I converted it to PNG with no problem, but I don't know how to license it. I have no idea where this image came from. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 10:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Our image expert told me to use PD-US, so I uploaded a PNG to commons.Rlevse 09:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Good. I'm marking the old one for deletion. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 12:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Diana Oughton

Boyce's great-grandaughter: Diana Oughton. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of death

The date listed for W. D. Boyce's death is inconsistent. The initial paragraph says June 11, 1929, and the section down the page titled "Death" lists the same date, but the Infobox gives May 11, 1929. I am going to change the Infobox to match the other to citations, but someone with access to more reference material than I should double-check it and make sure it's right.

It is June—I must have gotten the number wrong when I recently added the infobox. --— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 23:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
