Francis Drake[edit]

Hi Thisdaytrivia, Our embryonic conversation on Talk:Francis Drake has just been archived. In it you proposed that his death date should be 28 January 1596 rather than 27 January 1596. I agreed based on a reference cited by an acquaintance of mine on his website. I have now seen an image of that referenced document here (Plate VII). While I can't quite make out all the words in this poor reproduction it confirms that it refers to his death and the date is clear (27 January 1595 (i.e. 1595/6)). Therefore I felt I had enough back-up to make the change, which I have now done. See Francis Drake. SMeeds (talk) 16:03, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:15, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
