Peer review

What ho, Jack! I don't usually bother you with my peer reviews, as I don't think you go in for such things as a rule, but I think perhaps Ralph Richardson might be of interest to you. Quite understand if not, and there is absolutely no hurry at all even if you are interested. If you do look in, please run an eye over the short list of questions at the top of the peer review page, on which I'd be grateful for colleagues' thoughts. – Tim riley (talk) 20:30, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Margaret Rodgers

Thank you for your review. Margaret was indeed a remarkable woman. She was extraordinarily canny and diplomatic, and a real survivor. Would have made an excellent prime minister. I observe that you are located in England; let me say that the fact that Margaret succeeded in working with four archbishops who were as essentially different as Marcus Loane, Donald Robinson (bishop), Harry Goodhew and Peter Jensen (bishop) is amazing in itself. The article Anglican Diocese of Sydney gives part of the picture. Amandajm (talk) 00:45, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

It was a great read about a fascinating woman. The article itself was a pleasure to review - well written and fully referenced. Jack1956 (talk) 06:48, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Margaret Rodgers (deaconess)

No. I am really not happy about that hook. I had already removed the additional quotation that the hook is based on, before I realised that EEng had turned it into a hook and you had OKed it. I have left my reasons. The subject has only been dead a fortnight. I was at her funeral and her memorial service. I want the article to do her justice. The addition to the article (on which that hook was based) put a focus on her media role that overshadowed ever other aspect of her remarkable life. Amandajm (talk) 10:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Jack! Yes, Margaret really was a remarkable person. If you come from out of the diocese and are ignorant of the politics in Sydney, it is hard to appreciate just how very remarkable she was. I believe that her commitment was to the survival and preservation of the Anglican Church in Sydney, and that one of her main skills was what you might call "damage control". Several speakers at the memorial service got dangerously close to being non-p.c.. There was a point at which I thought that the dean, (who conducted interviews of the various speakers, wearing a suit and tie, like a T.V presenter) was going to spit the dummy. The bishops, of whom there were a number present, were properly attired. Unfortunately, the Bishop of Gippsland's funeral was the same day, and a number of people who wanted to attend both, couldn't. Amandajm (talk) 10:53, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Of course, just from reading an article we can never really get the feel of a personality and what they actually really achieved in their lives and the effect they had on others. I hope people get some sense of this remarkable lady from your article. Jack1956 (talk) 11:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Hippodrome, Aldershot

Hi Jack. I've just been looking through your interesting article which reminded me of many of the variety stars of my early days. I took the liberty of moving the title simply to Hippodrome, Aldershot (in line with Hippodrome, London, etc.) as this appears to be the usual style. It also makes it easier to find the article in searches. I found the capitalised "The Hippodrome" unusual in the running text and changed the definite article to lower case. I look forward to seeing the article on DYK soon.--Ipigott (talk) 05:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Hippodrome, Aldershot

On 14 July 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hippodrome, Aldershot, which you recently created or substantially expanded.

Blithe Spitit

Let me be clear. Ssilvers deleted a polite, if critical, comment, carefully crafted by me, with an edit summary that was a blatant lie. He chose to suppress rather than to respond to constructive and reasoned criticism. It was in reply to a comment left on my talk page. Ssilvers chose to put the debate on on a talk page rather than on an article page, not me, but you delete an entirely legitimste three paragraph reply on utterly spurious grounds. This is disgraceful. O tempora o mores. You should not be trying to suppress legitimate discussion. That is something I have NEVER done, as my own uncensored talk page attests.
