~~Why are you adding silly stuff? Mostly you are helping .... Victuallers (talk) 13:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)~~ [reply]

~~Maybe its me, if it is then~~ I apologise. What I found literally incredible (I mean that word) was the bit about poison on the pommel of a horse.... do you have a ref of was it someone else? Anyway and irrespective I will help you with refs. I will use the character ( to mean < and the character ) to mean >. So If I write after I want a reference say here(ref)Some silly stuff(/ref)

Then I write (/references) further down my article then I will see something like

So If I write after I want a reference say here1

1. Some silly stuff

I hope that makes sense. Remember I used the character ( to mean < and the character ) to mean >.

It will just click .... eventually.

Still stuck ... then tell me what you want to achieve Victuallers (talk) 16:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did You Know[edit]

In the next ten days you should see

... that John Wright, one of the Gunpowder Plotters, was considered the finest swordsman in Britain?

..on the main page. It relies on the fact that you have expanded the text of the article since March 9th by a factor of 5 or more (hope that's true) Victuallers (talk) 19:20, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you could provide the page number in the Fraser book which states that Wright was "considered the finest swordsman in Britain" to make the nomination fully comply with DYK rules. Thanks.radek (talk) 14:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for John Wright (Gunpowder Plot)[edit]

On March 18, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John Wright (Gunpowder Plot), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your 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.
