Shipindex pages
[edit]Hello! Just wanted to point out the changes I made at HMS Experiment—it's really best not to pipe links to article names on disambiguation pages, since the reader should be able to see the text used to disambiguate the names. Using {{HMS}} lets you easily italicize the ship name and retain the disambiguating pennant number/date in the display. Thanks! Maralia (talk) 20:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey, pretty neat. I'm afraid I can't really improve on the articles you've been turning out on Murray, Hay, etc. It might be interesting to set up a parallel series of categories for the Jacobite peerages, but we'd have to decide on a cutoff; it doesn't make much sense to use those categories on contemporary heirs when the peerage hasn't been claimed for generations.

- Perhaps create a 'peers created by Old Pretender' and 'peers created by young pretender' type categories? That would cut out the issue of a cutoff, as it would only take the original holders of Jacobite peerages. I'm working on it. Neddyseagoon - talk 23:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Update - I've created Category:Peers in the Jacobite peerage, with 'peers by type' and 'peers by creator'. Its main page, Jacobite Peerage needs some cleaning up, to make a lot of the "Subsidiary title of the Earl of X" links point to the Jacobite holder of that earldom (say), not to the page for that peerage in the regular British peerage.

I've used Ships of the Royal Navy to include the missing ships and some information about them. If you want any more help with these sorts of articles, just give me a bell. Nice to see another Goon Show fan by the way! Needle nardle noo, Benea (talk) 22:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Neddy! Thank's for the other pic of the death of Leonardo. I've never seen that one.
The Ingres is already in the article Cultural depictions of Leonardo da Vinci. I moved the other one there as well. It isn't really relevant to his biography , as the story is apocryphal. It's know for certain that the King wasn't there, because he was busy signing documents in a town two days' jouirney away. So both pics were done several centuries after the event and are really just illustrations.
The other problem is that the article is very long. If we are going to squeeze more pics in, then they need to be illustrations of the man's work, or objects that relate to him directly.
