A fact from Eric Estorick appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 November 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in 1964, art dealer Eric Estorick recovered 1,564 Jewish Torah scrolls which had been confiscated by the Nazi authorities following the genocide of the Czechoslovak Jews?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/November. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Eric Estorick.

Picture of Eric Estorick[edit]

It would be good to add a picture of Eric Estorick, but I am unclear of the copyright issues and nervous about uploading questionable images.

I have found the following images on the web, which appear to be of Estorick:

I'm glad you asked. I seriously doubt that *any* of them would pass the copyright concerns. See Image Use Policy. Pictures done by governments are generally the best bet, but I have no idea if the BBC qualifies.Naraht (talk) 21:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a non-free photograph with a fair-use rationale. Verbcatcher (talk) 00:34, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Date order[edit]

In his revision (01:35, 1 January 2014), User:Tony1 has changed all the dates in the article from D MMMM YYYY format to MMMM D, YYYY format (e.g. from 13 February 1913 to February 13, 1913).

The Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers supports both styles; however, it opposes completely changing an article from one supported style to another:

The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.

Tony1: do you have a substantial reason for this change? If not, please revert to the original date style.

Why the song and dance? Just ask me and I'll change it with the script. But it was a reasonable change in the first place, since he was American and just ended up living in London. Tony (talk) 01:21, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Social Credit[edit]

I plan to remove Category:American Social Crediters, on the basis that no reference has been given to support it. Estorick was a sociologist who wrote a book on The British Social Credit Party, but this does not indicate that he was a supporter of the social credit movement.
