1514: 645:. I had seen that we had an article for a person of that name, but I didn't link to it as none of my sources made the connection - no musical sources were interested in football and also I couldn't find any football source that was interested in music! I think the connection between these two, if true, is pretty interesting and should really be expanded on. By the same token though that link itself needs an explicit reference to support it - can you oblige? -- 2541: 2385: 1424: 2337: 1664: 2225:. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like 427: 288: 206: 124: 2463: 2262: 543: 1116: 1975:

identify a certain house used in another Agatha Christie's Poirot episode. It reminds me of Munstead Wood, but it's different. My own searches have not revealed anything so far. I have some still's for you to see if you want to help. Will you? If so, how do I get the stills to you? They are copyrighted, aren't they, so I cannot just upload them. --

We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- 370: 693:

I've put in a citation for the mother, as the death announcement in The Times confirms the spelling; but it can also be confirmed at various other sources, such as the marriage in 1853. She died on 1 August 1917 in Hordle, Hampshire, and is buried in the church there. I only started this because I am

Looking good, I've now just reworded it slightly and put in some wikilinks. There's just one bit that I've tagged as still needing a reference, namely for her mother: the spelling of her name (O'Donel instead of O'Donnell, which is what is in the DNB) and her death year (which is not in the DNB). It

Thanks again, I can't disagree with you about Lutyens. Does your magic extend by any chance to uploading images? I know there is a photo of her in "The Sketch" of Nov 1910, at the time of the Leipzig opera. If you do have access, is it to a version that's free of copyright? I must admit my grasp of

OK, I've added references for the birth and marriage announcements in The Times, and these can be backed up by various genealogical sites and my own correspondence with their direct descendants. Also, I have corrected the spelling of her first name to Katharine, rather than Katherine. As you say,

While applying MOS changes to List of township-level divisions of Shanghai, I noticed some of your SH town creations. I must say, they are better than almost all of the town articles I (and many others) create. Although the project will still be far off from complete coverage, if you could write

Hi. The Irishness was as per my referenced source, Grove. I must admit I was a little puzzled by it (other than her mother's name looking Irish) but we have to go with the sources and Groves is obviously one of the highest authorities, and in fact the entry was written by Fuller who was also the

Hi Aegoceras, nice 'hear' from you from time to time. My 'last two Lutyens houses' were also used as filming locations; that is my reason for uploading the photo's to Commons. A little frivolous compared to your work on Knowledge (XXG) ;-) Nevertheless I would very much like to know if you can

1990:

Hi Judithcomm. I'm afraid I don't have much detailed knowledge about Lutyens houses beyond the articles I've written to date, so I don't think I'd be much help, sorry. I'd say that you are way ahead of me, based on what I've seen of your recent work on Commons! Of the houses I've done, only

hi Aegoceras, I see that you are the creator of a number of great articles, all of which should be nominated for DYK, but that is up to you. I started a number of them which I think could need some expert attention. Would you mind improving and expanding on a number of articles?

That would be great if you could, I've pretty much used up my available sources. She's a very interesting character but not too much is known. Unfortunately too it seems no-one knows the whereabouts of her scores from her Paris period, very frustrating! --

Thanks, it's nice to be appreciated! It certainly needed work. I'm currently trying to figure out where to start to expand the pregnant phrase "favouring curved lines"! I'd really like to know though, did you know George the monkey??? --

I've begun the categories! Take a peek at my contributions. Wales and Scotland just have their historic gardens lumped into a parent category w/out specific grades. Fortunately we can use the NHLE template to ref them in articles,

I've just tacked on a couple of press cuttings, if you care to download it again. (Lutyens's jibe has rather backfired, don't you think? Most music lovers seem to prefer the English pastoral lot to her stuff.)

Got it, thanks - very kind of you. I particularly enjoyed her Musical Herald remark about "fat sheep" - very reminiscent of the Lutyens dismissal of the English school as "cow pat music"! (ouch) --

If you fancy taking the rest of the year off, I occasionally remind myself in fear that there are no listed garden categories! What would they be called? Grade II* etc listed parks and gardens?

2159: 2039: 2032: 1314: 1095:

Bristol topics. Bring your laptop if you like and use the free Wifi or just bring yourself. Even better, bring a friend! Click the link for full details. Looking forward to seeing you.

1880:

Looks good, I will start using them! Didn't you mean Northern Ireland and Scotland above though, not Wales and Scotland - I don't think Wales has a category for listed gardens yet? --

Thanks very much, I'm glad you think I found the right spot in the article to put it. Yes, specifically mélodies though I wouldn't claim to be a technical expert. I've been working on

1310: 2230: 2218: 596:

Oh dear. No doubt you've straightened it out though. In any event, I've moved the reference to Guest at Dr. Kiernan's suggestion. Please let me know if you object.--

2078: 1847:

Better keep very quiet about that topic, or we'll suddenly find ourselves presented with hundreds of script-generated lists of listed gardens to correct and wikify!

Thanks for the tip. From the images I have been able to find so far, I cannot say for sure if this is the one, though. But maybe, some day.... --

1698:

Thanks for making the changes as well as improving the article. I did copy some information but narrowed it down and kept the important parts.

Good heavens! She comes as news to me. Most interesting. I'll rummage about and see if I can find anything else on her for your consideration.

Thank you for your brilliant recent contributions to listed buildings. Your scholarship on Marshcourt is exemplary, so many cited books!

Thanks...though I really just hit the same books for each Lutyens house I do! It surprises me a bit they haven't all been done already.
