Hi Prioryman! I've had a quick scan through your page about the Eston Railway Station - looking good! I've just linked Eston Hills to Eston Nab.

As the gallery is a not to profit started by a big name like Marriott and Marriott have partnered with kaali sudheer. Thought it will be of great use for artists around the world to use this wonderful space and show their talent. I have given the external links of well known sources like US consulate of Hyderabad , Confederation of Indian Industry ( CII) , Yahoo News and well known news papers Hindu and postnoon etc. I do not agree with your deletion as In India Esp in south India there is hardly any art appreciation. there are very few art galleries in Hyderabad and that too all galleries are commercial one.

Another picture for the Meermin…?

Hello Prioryman, thanks again for the wonderful job you did of retrieving the illustration of a ship from Groenewegen, Gerrit (1789), Verzameling van vier en tachtig stuks Hollandsche schepen, for the Meermin slave mutiny article. I've been looking around for more images, and was pointed (here) to this picture: judging by the caption, it looks certain that this image is from the same source as the other one! It looks to me like it's another angle on the same type of ship, too. Thing is, the Meermin slave mutiny article is presently slated for a Main Page appearance on Saturday: if there's a chance that we could get that image by then, obviously that would be fab! Any thoughts? No worries if not! :o) Nortonius (talk) 13:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No chance of getting it before Saturday, unfortunately, but it should be possible for me to get hold of it on Saturday morning. Prioryman (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would be wonderful, if you can: I don't think there'd be a problem in adding an image to the article while it's on the Main Page… Brilliant, thank you so much, I'll be watching for any update on Saturday – but again, no worries if it doesn't work out, thanks for taking it on! :o) Nortonius (talk) 22:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sinking of the Titanic

Thanks for adding the connection between pack ice and extremely calm seas. When I read the witness' statement that the stars could be seen reflected in the sea, I thought, Strange.

As a matter of fact, I gather it's unusual even so. Ernest Shackleton, the Arctic explorer, testified at the British enquiry that he had only seen such conditions on a handful of occasions during his career. Prioryman (talk) 01:46, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Titanic

Oh yeah sorry, I forgot to comment on the public outrage stuff. I really like it, I think it's really interesting and enhances the page. I hope you like it too, and didn't only do it for my sake! I did indicate on the FAC page that "I'm not really qualified to fully support" (because I'm very new there), but I will add a comment that it gets my support if applicable. Fantastic work on the page, it looks like a surefire for promotion and that is just great. I think the only thing it needs now is an image review (it has enough supports for promotion already, I'm sure). I may actually be able to help out there, I ended up pretty knowledgable about copyright in the course of preparing my own FAC. But again, it depends on whether the delegates will "trust" me or not. I just took a look at all of them and I think you should be okay, although a couple of them need US licensing tags, as well as UK/EU ones (images need to be PD in both the US and the country of origin). You may also be challenged over whether or not they were all definitely published in the US before 1923, but seeing as the sinking was a huge deal there I think it's safe to assume they were. --Lobo (talk) 19:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aw that's a nice thing to say, you're very welcome. I can't wait to see it featured on the main page! It's going to be one of the highest TFAs ever, I'm sure of it. FAC guidelines do explicitly ask you not to support/oppose in your first few reviews, which is why I was wary. But I do feel like I have a good grasp of the criteria. --Lobo (talk) 20:15, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you're worried – the article has more supports than I've seen in ages, and I'm certain no delegate will infer an oppose.

A friendly suggestion, but if you're worried that the size of the review page is getting rather long, utilize the talk page. My initial comments were made there with a link from the review page. We can't cap/collapse sections of the reviews, so the recommended procedure is to move the comments from Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sinking of the RMS Titanic/archive1 to Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates/Sinking of the RMS Titanic/archive1, leaving behind a link. That way the page is streamlined, but the delegates can read the detailed comments if desired. The reason we can't use templates is that each FAC review page is transcluded from monthly archives once closed. (There's one for promotions and one for non-promotions.) If we used templates, those archives would exceed the transclusion limits, so template usage hasn't been allowed in long time. Imzadi 1979 → 00:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Main page appearance: Murder of Julia Martha Thomas

This is a note to let the main editors of Murder of Julia Martha Thomas know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 2, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 2, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Kate Webster, the killer of Julia Martha Thomas

The murder of Julia Martha Thomas was one of the most notorious crimes in Britain in the late 19th century. Thomas, a widow who lived in Richmond in west London, was killed on 2 March 1879 by Kate Webster, her Irish maid (pictured). Webster dismembered the body, boiled the flesh off the bones, and threw most of it into the River Thames, allegedly offering the fat to neighbours as dripping and lard. Part of Thomas's remains were soon recovered but her severed head was only found in October 2010 during building works being carried out for the naturalist Sir David Attenborough. After the murder, Webster posed as Thomas for two weeks but was exposed and fled to her family home at Killanne, Ireland. She was arrested on 29 March and stood trial in London at the Old Bailey in July 1879, where she was convicted and sentenced to death. She confessed to the murder the night before she was hanged on 29 July at Wandsworth Prison. The case attracted considerable interest from the public and press in Great Britain and Ireland.

DYK for Runic insignia of the Schutzstaffel

On 2 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Runic insignia of the Schutzstaffel, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the runic insignia of the Schutzstaffel, like the sig-runes worn on SS uniforms, stood for Nazi values but were actually inspired by the neopagan occultism of mystic Guido von List? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Runic insignia of the Schutzstaffel.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
