Regarding his birth place. Is this Ashford, Surrey (near Staines) as per my AA Road Atlas ? Presumably local government reorganisation moved it to Surrey from Middlesex ? I still reckon he was born in 1945 though ! Regards,

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Durajohnpatrick! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 272 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- John Van der Kiste - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Allan Clarke (singer) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

The article Royalty Digest Quarterly has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No evidence this magazine is notable
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RL0919 (talk) 13:23, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Mungo Jerry may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
- bands had finished, playing a selection of American folk / blues / skiffle / jug band music from [[Leadbelly], [[Woody Guthrie]] and others, and some of Dorset’s songs. The students loved the music

Disambiguation link notification for July 23
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mungo Jerry, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dave Lambert, Bobby Parker and Miller Anderson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:John Van der Kiste.pdf
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:John Van der Kiste.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The article John Van der Kiste has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 03:01, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
