User:Fneddy's contribution[edit]

User:Fneddy added this text which I have rvv so we can sort it out.

<ref>Insert footnote text here</ref> cf. Harris, Frank "My Life and Loves," pp. 357, Grove Press, 1963, for background to the Crawford Scandal and the former Mrs. Mark Pattison (Rector, Lincoln College, Oxford), and the future Lady Dilke's decision to marry Sir Charles in spite of the still ongoing scandal. See also: Asquith, Betty "Lady Dilke, A Biography," Chatto and Windus, 1969. {I would strongly suggest that Lady Dilke deserves her own separate entry because of: 1: the friendship of the Pattison's with George Eliot, with Mark Pattison being the model for Casaubon in Eliot's "Middlemarch," and 2) Francis Pattison (nee Strong)/Lady Dilke's championship of contemporary Continental painting (e.g., Ingres -- as exemplified by her authorship of the article on Ingres in the 11th ed., Enc. Brittanica), etc., etc., as well as her early championship of women's rights. I would be glad to prepare a few paragraphs if you had any interest in having giving Francis Strong/Pattison/Dilke her own Wikipedia entry.} /s/ fneddy@charter.net. - 364

Change infobox?[edit]

Does anyone have an objection to me changing infobox from 'officeholder' to 'person'?

Dilke held the position of President of the Local Government Board from 1882 - 85, but the page covers his whole life, not just those 3 years. Obscurasky (talk) 21:24, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have now done the above. Obscurasky (talk) 23:42, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
