October harvest contd.

Speaking of which, here is my October harvest of squash: Philafrenzy (talk) 17:26, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Just like people...vary in colour, shapes and sizes. They will keep you going for a while. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:17, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I see they remind you of your patients. I have learned that squash is where spaghetti comes from. I always thought it grew on trees. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:27, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Inadine

Great work adding that image. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:55, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

The WP:MED Collaboration of the Month returns for a trial run. We'll concentrate our efforts for November on Tonsillitis. Please help improve that article, and head to the planning page to nominate articles for future collaboration.
An open contributor copyright investigation involves edits to ~50 medicine pages that need to be checked for copyright infringement. I've left some short instructions here for the uninitiated. Every little bit helps.

Surprise Attack

As a 1951 crown film this is out of copyright meaning any number of stills can be used in the article down the right or in a gallery, and even the whole film can be uploaded to Commons. Dust off your screen-capture software. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:52, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Can you sort it? I'm doing 101 things at the same time. That article has some really important messages... Whispyhistory (talk) 21:13, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy:...I have captured some stills...Will add one and let you scrutinise it before doing any others. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:10, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

You are on the right track in the article but wrong on Commons. It's not your own work is it? Upload them as "This file is not my own work" and copy the expired crown copyright licence that I used for the titles. Try another. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:30, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: which creative commons attribution box do I tick? Whispyhistory (talk) 08:39, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

None. It's not creative commons because it's not your own work so you can't grant a creative commons licence on it. Click on "Another reason not mentioned above" and paste the licence in the box. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Tried again...please kindly check. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:53, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Correct. You can also upload a larger screen shot if you have it by maximising your window, and they don't need to be in the British Films category as Surprise Attack already is. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:00, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you... I will have another go. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:02, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

You also have the opportunity to add one of John Le Mesurier to his article which is light on images of the man due to most of his work being in copyright. These out of copyright sources can be mined for images for multiple articles in that way. What else is in the film that you can capture and use elsewhere in articles about vaccination or health etc? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:04, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Great work. That is exactly what I was hoping you would do. You have risen to challenge and succeeded admirably. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:02, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

It appears to have an all star cast...Can you recognise any other actors? Whispyhistory (talk) 13:05, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I only recognised one although I note two of them subsequently played in Dad's Army. I expect they were happy to have the work. I also noticed the black nurse and the modernist ambulance. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:53, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I have converted the video and uploaded it in full to Commons. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks @Philafrenzy: ...Can you do something here? My head is spinning. Whispyhistory (talk) 10:47, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Your head is spinning? I would see a physician if I were you. Or possibly a priest. I will look. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:51, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

I have simplified it. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:28, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks...Seen priest and confessed. I also looked Life in Her Hands. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

That can't have taken long. The film is eligible for a 5x expansion if you can source it. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Life in Her Hands...@Philafrenzy:... please steer me in the right direction. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:34, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

I would expand the synopsis section, commenting on scenes from the film in the way that Screenonline and the other sources do. You haven't mentioned Black Narcissus which you should immediately view if you have not already seen it. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:08, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy:...please review my edits. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:49, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

It reads OK. Maybe a bit too much about tea. I know tea is important but I am not sure we need the picture of the surgeon asking for a cuppa or the matron checking the caddy. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:49, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

There is a lot of tea in the film. Take out what you feel. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:46, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

You want me to decaffeinate it? Was it shot in a real hospital as I added to the lead? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

I could only find a source (Hallam) that says it was a reconstruction. The real life bit was there before but I can't verify it. After watching the whole film...reconstruction feels more feasible. As you suggested, I watched Black Narcissus... released a few months before India's independence. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:05, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

And what did you make of it? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:23, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Em... characters are well thought out...a maharaja in Calcutta who looks awfully like a Punjabi ruler with an eagle on his arm... then Kenchi meaning scissors...(sharp edged)... all interesting. Deborah Kerr is beautiful and powerful... every scene is suppose to be erotic without being explicit...I see why Byron was recruited for Life in her hands. The colour is amazing. The timing of the films release needs thought. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:34, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

You could put in a couple more images relating to the plot in the synopsis section now that I removed the tea-related images. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:59, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Will do. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:29, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Also, if you are going to upload a lot of images to Commons it is a good idea to create the relevant category for them if it doesn't exist. This prevents others from having to manually re-categorise them later. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy:... Thanks for creating the category. Can I assume the same can be done for Black Narcissus? Interestingly, its views have escalated x10 recently. Am I missing something? Whispyhistory (talk) 17:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes, if it hadn't already been done. Note, there has to be something out of copyright to put in such a category. There is a TV mini-series just out. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:39, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - December 2020

Issue 7—December 2020

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

Hello. I hope this newsletter finds you well. For those struggling to focus on writing articles during these tumultuous times, you are not alone. For those stuck at home with more time and energy to dedicate to the encyclopedia, all the more power to you. There is – as always – lots to do. Here is what's happening around the project:

**Newly recognized content**
Intramuscular injection nom. Berchanhimez, reviewed by Bibeyjj

**Nominated for review**
Buruli ulcer nom. Ajpolino Anatomical terms of location nom. Tom (LT), under review by ArnabSaha and Aircorn Charles Bingham Penrose nom. Larry Hockett Louise Boursier nom. Doug Coldwell Blood culture nom. Spicy Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia nom. Maxim Masiutin Friedreich's ataxia nom. Akrasia25 Fish allergy nom.

Bibeyjj Alzheimer's disease Notice of impending featured article review at talk. Management of multiple sclerosis Notice of impending FAR at talk. Major depressive disorder Notice of impending FAR at talk.

News from around the site

As you can see, the medicine GA queue is full-to-bursting, with the oldest medicine nomination waiting over three months for review. Please help review when you have time, so your colleagues can move on to their next projects.
The WP:MED Collaboration of the Month was Tonsillitis, attracting edits from 11 medicine editors! December's collaboration will be Dexamethasone. Head to Talk:Dexamethasone to coordinate our efforts.
Thanks to the medicine editors who helped out, Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Walidou47 is now closed. If you see other medicine-related backlogs that you'd like announced in the newsletter, please post them here.

Discussions of interest

There is a large, ongoing discussion regarding the status of subject-specific notability criteria.
The Community Wishlist Survey is live until December 7th.

For a list of ongoing discussions in WP:MED-tagged articles, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Discussions
Also, a reminder to see Article Alerts for a list of medicine-related AfDs, CfDs, merge discussions, and more!

Backlog of the month
This month I'm trying out a new element of the newsletter – a backlog of the month. The WikiProject Medicine template is on the talk page of 44,944 articles, of which 18,111 have some kind of maintenance tag on them, indicating problems large or small. Each month, I'll highlight some small task to get you out of your normal editing focus and chip away at the project's massive maintenance backlogs. I'll aim for tasks that can be worked on in small chunks, perhaps on days when you can't focus on big problems, or have 15 minutes to burn at your computer.

The first backlog of the month will be the 410 medicine articles that cite no sources. These tend to be lower-traffic topics. Some just need verification that the topic actually exists, along with a quick reference. Others are best redirected to more substantial pages, or even brought to AfD. Feel free to scroll through the list for topics that interest you, or just start at the top. This feature will last as long as folks are interested enough to engage with it. If you see backlogs that would be a good fit, post them here. Thanks all, and happy referencing!

Year in Review
With 2020 now in the rear view mirror, a few numbers to give a sense of where our project is at: In 2020 we added a record number of medicine articles (i.e. articles with the WP:MED tag on their talk pages), starting the year with 41,243 and ending with 45,247. The ~4,000 new articles is well above the norm, presumably due to new covid-related articles. In terms of reviewed content, we added three featured articles (Dementia with Lewy bodies, Complete blood count, and Buruli ulcer), and lost three to the ravages of time, leaving our total at 66. We also added 42 newly reviewed good articles from 23 different nominators, bringing our total to 296. See a full list of reviewed content from 2020 here. Outside of reviewed content our contributions are more challenging to measure. I'm sure much our time was spent making small improvements, guiding new editors, removing junk from articles, and dealing with the raging global pandemic (on and off the site). I am interested in ways we can quantify and assess our project's progress going forward, so if anyone has ideas for other data we could find or collect, do let me know.

Other notes

The WMF's Community Wishlist Survey has ended. Results are posted here.
If you missed it, consider reading folks' thoughts on helping new editors at this recent WT:MED discussion.
After a quieter month at the Collaboration of the Month (Dexamethasone), we'll be taking this month off. The COTM will return in February. Propose and vote on nominations here.
Thanks to all who helped deal with last month's backlog, medicine articles that cite no sources. 28 down, 382 to go. We'll pick a new backlog next month. In the meantime, for any interested, I've posted an updated list of articles that lack sources here.

This is interesting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000rlpz Philafrenzy (talk) 21:41, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok..will listen when have 43 min. fyi..DYK Madras College was in Scotland? Whispyhistory (talk) 05:11, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Chicken Madras was invented in Dundee (probably). Philafrenzy (talk) 08:02, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Interesting BBC program Philafrenzy...also couldn't find any scholarly literature on Madras curry but reminded me of korma [1]. Can you find an image of Haxton? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:41, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I already looked but no, which is not to say that none exist. I have been known to buy books by the subject on the off-chance their image appears in the back flap of the dust jacket, but it's very hit and miss. You could enquire of the university, RSE etc. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:16, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Looks like there isn't one. Check out the second image. Book has been eaten by bookworms. Doesn't stop them selling it. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:50, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Good find...I'll keep looking. I don't think many people have heard of him. Looked at my bookshelf which has several surgical textbooks dated 1916-1965, but no mention of Haxton. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Old medical textbooks are an interesting area and often contain excellent hand-drawn illustrations. Notable authors too but require research to determine who they were as they often just give initials and surname. H. E. Merritt came from a scruffy book I found in a charity shop for £1.50 (article gets one view per day). Philafrenzy (talk) 10:25, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Haxton - it seems to tail off after his 30s. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:58, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

There appears nothing more on him.... apparently he is not registered as FRCSE and is not in Plarr's. He has an empty entry at RSE. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Try splitting the big section and combining the later sections to make it more even. (Did you like my Passer hook?) Philafrenzy (talk) 17:12, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok..will see what I can do. ..ahh...just noticed why the woo..:) Also...came across King Edward VII who once fractured his patella. Any help here is appreciated. The article has a great image. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

If you're looking for fractured patellae, try Syd Lawrence. I was watching that cricket match on TV at the time. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Sister Agnes

I am not convinced by the black and white engraving. The source is a dead link. The colour image of the nurse on the cover of the book by Hough is probably her. Have you bought it? (The image on the cover of the book by Lamont-Brown is Alice Keppel but there may be an image of Keyser inside) Philafrenzy (talk) 10:50, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you... On order. BTW...I'm no longer convinced that the image of Fanny Kepler with the NPG in external links is the sister of Agnes- the DOB looks far off. Will make sure to check out who the photographers are before adding. Please feel free to guide some more on the article. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:38, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Get a copy with a dust jacket if hardback as that is often where the cover picture credit is. Philafrenzy (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

The image of Fanny (born 1850?) is 1867 so its credible that she is the sister of Agnes (born 1852). The Genealogical Magazine, Vol. 5, p. 471 "The King has been graciously pleased to confer the Decoration of the Royal Red Cross upon Miss Margaret Fanny Keyser and Miss Agnes Keyser in recognition of services rendered to the sick and wounded returned from South Africa" They both look notable and there is a brother (or father) Charles who founded a convalescent home too. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:09, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Is Fanny notable? Which book looks notable? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:43, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Possibly but it needs more research. It may be she had a greater role in founding the hospital than has been recognised. They both got awards. (both not book) Philafrenzy (talk) 19:38, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

The central plot-line of Oliver Twist—which features a locket stolen from the body of Oliver's mother after she dies in childbirth—seems likely to have been influenced by the real pawnbroker's shop that stood between the workhouse and Dickens's home, and within sight of both. It is also noteworthy that in the novel, little Oliver wears a brown cloth cap—the same colour as the regulation workhouse uniform in real life. And it has even emerged that another shopkeeper in the street carried the same name (though differently spelled) as the murderous villain in Oliver Twist, Bill Sikes, spelt “Sykes”.". Whispyhistory (talk) 07:41, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

@No Swan So Fine:, @Philafrenzy:... Francis Broderip was a solicitor living in Gower Street who in 1866 had given £20,000 anonymously. He died in 1871 and in 1872 his pictures which he had bequeathed to the hospital were sold at Christie's and released another £20,000. It was decided to change the name of Clayton Ward to Broderip and this name was retained in the West Wing of the new building. At the same time two Broderip scholarships were founded and these were the top scholarships awarded each year to senior medical students. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:30, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I read that in a Wikipedia article somewhere. Note: It was £20K nominal probably - i.e. those Brazilian bonds might have been worth £20K or they might have been worth £2. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:30, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Rolls Royce Battle of Britain Memorial Window

Hi! Just wanted to say what a lovely article that is. I've written a lot of articles on war memorials but it hadn't occurred to me that that one would be notable. With a bit of work, you could easily take that to GA status and possibly even FA if you were willing to put the work and the research in. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:26, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you @HJ Mitchell:...The window is a beautiful memorial. I would appreciate if you could check through the article. It's not a topic I have written about before. I'll have a look in investing in some books. If you have any literature on the window...do you know much about Hugh Ray Easton, the memorial's designer? The editor of the Flying Lady says he was a doctor [4], but I can't verify that anywhere else. He did die in King Edward VII's Hospital, but maybe that was a military connection.

After Us, or the World as it Might Be

Good work. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks..could be better, but a start... your tags appear to work. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:40, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Apparently (there's no need to state the day or month of publication of a book - only for an article). Philafrenzy (talk) 09:46, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Also, I notice place of publication seems to be missing from all your templates. Why is that? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:47, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, not always obvious. How should we add an image? I can take one of inside cover. The outside cover is plain blue only? Whispyhistory (talk) 09:50, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

It's still in copyright so there are limits. Cover normally but if plain there is little point. How plain? You could scan the title page (not the half-title) as that is a good substitute and should be free of copyright problems and so eligible for Commons. Did you invest in a scanner? If you have a multi-function printer somewhere they often include a scanning function on the top. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:56, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Leave it...it's totally plain. Yes...I have a scanner. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Which one? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:59, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Begins with colour laserjet pro...Whispyhistory (talk) 10:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

HP - most of them have a flat bed scanner under the lid. You will get better results from that than trying to use your phone as it removes glare etc. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Sure..there is a flat bed under the lid. Whispyhistory (talk) 10:06, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Worth learning to use it if you don't usually. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:07, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

I like the drug photographs you have added to Commons, particularly the AZ vaccine which is nicely composed, however, they don't seem to be in use in Wikipedia. Any reason? Philafrenzy (talk) 17:55, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Also, purely hypothetically, do people (not me) who have a mildly adverse reaction to the vaccine generate more antibodies than those that notice no side-effects? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:19, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not give medical advice. You should see your GP: make an appointment in the morning. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:21, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

I wasn't seeking and don't need medical advice, as I made clear RedRose. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:30, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

There were already images around, but use them if think useful. CDC, FAQs. I found a book by this author on my shelf...looks possible 1721 so might try it in the scanner. In the list of surgeons I have recently been looking at, there are a few in red, who I haven't been able to figure out who they are... if you can, please let me know. Whispyhistory (talk) 03:46, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

I will look. (Those links answer a different question) Philafrenzy (talk) 08:01, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Re-read the question... Because vaccines work by triggering your immune system to produce a reaction, you can however have side effects after you receive the vaccine that feel similar to having a real infection. Things like having a fever, or feeling achey, or getting a headache (often described as “flu-like” symptoms) are common after receiving many vaccines and this is the same for the approved COVID-19 vaccines. Having these symptoms means that your immune system is working as it should be. Usually, these symptoms last a much shorter time than a real infection would (most are gone within the first 1-2 days).[5]. and ..."If You Don’t Get Sick After Your COVID-19 Vaccination, Does It Mean Your Immune System Isn’t Working?"[6]... everyone is different..."you shouldn’t be alarmed if you don’t experience any adverse reactions". [7] Whispyhistory (talk) 14:31, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

That's still not it. By mimicking the real virus, the vaccine, which is harmless, trains the body to produce antibodies that would fight a real infection. Is the amount of antibodies higher where people have an adverse reaction such as "flu-type" symptoms than where people experience no side-effects because in the former the body is working harder to repel the attack that it thinks it is under and so produces more antibodies? Philafrenzy (talk) 15:23, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

BBC piece answering exactly the question that I asked. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:02, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

King Edward VII's Hospital for Officers

John Scadding neurologist is notable. You might like him because he wrote this. Wyndham Lloyd Davies is Reginald Wyndham Lloyd Davies, author of the Color Atlas of Urology, and possibly notable if the book was widely reviewed. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:28, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks..they appear familiar. Any older ~~older~~? Can this be dyk'ed? I wasn't sure. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:29, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

"older older"? Yes, why not? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:41, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, @Philafrenzy:...meant one older not double older. I meant the 1914 list. Also couldn't find any list for 1904, which would be interesting.Whispyhistory (talk) 18:46, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

I will look later but if you can't find the 1904 list, I doubt I will be able to. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Do you have this? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:08, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

And this?Philafrenzy (talk) 20:14, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

No...neither...but the second list is in the book by Richard Hough. Good find. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:20, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Buy the first while you can. It includes the 1904 list. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:24, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

How do you know it has the 1904 list? I've never used eBay..will have a look. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:39, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

What about this? Philafrenzy (talk) 08:29, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Interesting find. He must have translated in parts earlier and the whole version published in 1883. I will have a look. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:03, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Thursley Hall, Farnham Lane, Haslemere, Waverley, Surrey, GU27 1HA. Probably his family home. (part way down there is a gallery - move the slider to see all the pictures) Philafrenzy (talk) 08:50, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Another interesting find...from Bulandshahr to Surrey. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:03, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

It's not a listed building but it may be possible to establish a definitive link for the article. Somebody in Surrey should photograph it. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Was owned by an art dealer [9]??Whispyhistory (talk) 12:48, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Previous owner by the look of it, although either Growse or White could have been renting the house, from each other, or indeed a third party. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:42, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Treat Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology as an academic journal. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:38, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you...good find and great image. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:54, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Philafrenzy... good work on architecture. I wondered what dispute occurred that resulted in his transfer. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:56, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Read the Stamp article. He wanted native craftsmen and materials while the Public Works Department wanted the same sort of utilitarian colonial buildings they had built all over the hot bits of the empire - verandah's white washing etc. At least, that's how I read it. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:07, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

It's related to Gothic and Arts and Crafts architecture where it is all about traditionalism and anti-industrial. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:09, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

I think he tries to explain himself a little in the preface of the 1884 book. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Will look. Still no reliably sourced image of him. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:22, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Looking through his books in hope there an image of him...I uploaded one image of his church....but it's not quite right. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:56, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Unusual design. Did all the worshipers slide to one end and out of the door again? Philafrenzy (talk) 10:25, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

It may warrant an article of its own. Whispyhistory (talk) 10:44, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

I believe some relations resided in Gloucester. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:22, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Very likely. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:53, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Coded Bias

This is sort of related and on Netflix. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:08, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Not very good at watching TV but will have a look. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Can be streamed on your PC while you do something else as only the sound is really necessary. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Will add to my multi-tasks. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

You are better than a Swiss Army Knife. Do you have a tool for removing stones from horses hooves?

Seen on my travels. Didn't seem very busy. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:14, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

World History Atlas

Amazing book. ISBN 1405302674 is the edition to buy, should you be so motivated. There are "Very Good" copies on Amazon from £1.39 plus postage thus proving that the price of second hand books relates far more strongly to supply than quality. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks...sometimes the postage costs more than the book. I bought Guthrie's History of Medicine for a penny, but £2.38 postage. Anyway, when it arrived, it had Guthrie's signature in the inside cover...now worth much more. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:14, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

In a similar vein, I propose Philafrenzy's Law - that the number of DYK views is in inverse proportion to the amount of time spent writing the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:59, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Possibly...with some exceptions. Whispyhistory (talk) 03:58, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

V & A

What's the title as stated on the title page? The cover title is often not the "real" title - it's more like a slogan to entice you to buy. Also search Victoria and Abdul at the British Library catalogue as they have relevant material. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:55, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

EM..I was just looking at it...what is the title? I think it was correct the first time [10]. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:00, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

That's confirmed at BL. I would do it as Victoria & Abdul: The true story of the queen's closest confidant. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:10, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Okay, how strange that the title of a book is not what is on the front cover. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:26, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

It is common. Always check the title page and the publication details on the same page as edition etc. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:49, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

You might de-capitalise the sub-title apart from "The" as excessive capitalisation is regarded as oppressive. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

I did...but someone changed it. Please look. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:44, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
