Hi Jack sorry to contact you in such a manner but I can't seem to find any other another way of doing so (I am very new to Wiki and a complete novice). I was hoping to contact you in the hope that you would allow us to use one of the images you have uploaded of Vice-Admiral Robert Fitzroy. We are making a documenatry about the history of weather forecasting and we would love to use this image. Please do contact me on scott.ward@keofilms.com Many Thanks

Hi Jack,
You posted a photograph of Dorset street on the page about Jack London's "People of the Abyss". I am researching this area and would be interested in using the photo. Do you own the rights to it or are you able to tell me who does?
Thanks

What ho, Jack! I don't usually bother you with my peer reviews, as I don't think you go in for such things as a rule, but I think perhaps Ralph Richardson might be of interest to you. Quite understand if not, and there is absolutely no hurry at all even if you are interested. If you do look in, please run an eye over the short list of questions at the top of the peer review page, on which I'd be grateful for colleagues' thoughts. – Tim riley (talk) 20:30, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your review. Margaret was indeed a remarkable woman. She was extraordinarily canny and diplomatic, and a real survivor. Would have made an excellent prime minister. I observe that you are located in England; let me say that the fact that Margaret succeeded in working with four archbishops who were as essentially different as Marcus Loane, Donald Robinson (bishop), Harry Goodhew and Peter Jensen (bishop) is amazing in itself. The article Anglican Diocese of Sydney gives part of the picture. Amandajm (talk) 00:45, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

[1] No. I am really not happy about that hook. I had already removed the additional quotation that the hook is based on, before I realised that EEng had turned it into a hook and you had OKed it. I have left my reasons. The subject has only been dead a fortnight. I was at her funeral and her memorial service. I want the article to do her justice. The addition to the article (on which that hook was based) put a focus on her media role that overshadowed ever other aspect of her remarkable life. Amandajm (talk) 10:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jack. I've just been looking through your interesting article which reminded me of many of the variety stars of my early days. I took the liberty of moving the title simply to Hippodrome, Aldershot (in line with Hippodrome, London, etc.) as this appears to be the usual style. It also makes it easier to find the article in searches. I found the capitalised "The Hippodrome" unusual in the running text and changed the definite article to lower case. I look forward to seeing the article on DYK soon.--Ipigott (talk) 05:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jack, Yasou.
I saw your edit here and was wondering that if you should happen to have access to primary documents, would you try finding anything with Chapman's handwriting? Before his execution, he intentionally avoided writing and inferred that the priest was trying to trick him into getting his handwriting (Sugden). That writing is out there somewhere on a ship's manifest, catholic registry, British immigration or census records or as you have found, maybe on a marriage license. Chapman had more than one marriage so the potential is there. Obviously, comparison to the Lusk letter is the eventual goal. I'm sure it may be a challenge but you seem to be resourceful enough to succeed. So, if you just happen to meander in the archives... :)

Hello Jack,
My name is Lottie Smith. I have various Dickens connections to my family tree. My 4th great grandfather was Frederick Evans the printer/publisher/friend of Charles Dickens, you have most likely come across his name with association to Bradbury and Evans. I am actually attempting to write a fictional story based on the friendship fo Frederick and Charles, I am obviously a bit prejudice but I believe their tale is very much underrated as a story and I want to tell it. I have noticed your contributions to the Dickens wiki pages and am interested in corresponding with you about trying to get more information on the families and also photographs. If you would like to speak with me my email is lottie.rs@googlemail.com.
Thank you for all the help you have been so far!
Kind Regards,
Lottie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.30.5.151 (talk) 19:18, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Jack, thank you for the wonderful articles you've created on Gilbert & Sullivan and various cast members of the D'Oyly Carte. I wanted to contact you about my grandmother Eileen Sharp who was a mezzo-soprano and much loved member of the cast in the '20s before appearing in a number of roles on the 'legitimate' stage. You can see the Bassano portrait of her as Mad Margaret in the National Portrait Gallery online archive. There is also a captivating portrait by Count Michael de Torby and a series of prints by Einar Nerman for The Tatler, playing rather daringly for the period, a Tahitian native, opposite Henry Ainley as Gauguin in Somerset Maugham's 'The Moon & Sixpence'. I have a book and all the archive material from the V&A Theatre Archive but would dearly love to connect with a reputable Wikipedia member who might be kind enough to take an interest in helping document this on the site so more people can know of her so she is not forgotten. I would be completely lost attempting this on my own and not able to do this justice as it is clearly quite an art form. Sadly much was lost in a fire when she died rather young so it has been truly fascinating discovering her story now that so much of what would have previously been lost forever can be shared publicly in new archives online. If you have any advice on how I might contact you or any other thoughts it would be lovely to hear from you.

I am hoping that you are not too far off from Brookwood Cemetery. It seems that the significance of the shape of the marker is a bit of a mystery. Cheers. Shyamal (talk) 11:21, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello Jack - forgive me if you are already aware of these points as you are a prolific contributor. So - all photographers including you (under the copyright Designs & Patents Act & similar in various countries) own the copyright of all images they take. Wikipedia does not arrogate copyright and indeed is concerned that those who upload images do in fact own that copyright as the copyright owner is the only person who can then agree that images are bound by Creative Commons. If Wiki did not take this path then anyone who used images from Wiki or the Commons could be open to legal action. I'm not adept at use of Wiki. The wording used with my images right now (which is more explicit) was suggested by a supportive Wiki editor as we often went through a cycle of new contributors or those who newly came across these images questioning copyright ownership and consequent 'right' to offer CC. As with your images you own the copyright and thus can offer them up for 'free' usage under CC. The issue to watch for - in my opinion - as I've seen some examples, is images posted under CC which also then include a note that the uploader must be contacted for permission to use the image commercially etc. That is a contradiction of CC. Hope this explains why my images contain a reference link to my website and clear statements about copyright ownership in order to give Wiki assurance that indeed I can offer CC.
By the way you appear to be a frequent visitor to Brookwood Cemetery - much easier now it owned by the local council. I see from your photo that the Columbarium has now had the breeze blocks replaced by an appropriate gate. A major improvement. Have you discovered the grave of Ruth Ellis yet? She is back in the news on the anniversary of the events leading to her death.
Best wishes, WyrdLight
PS: I didn't say that if you take an image which is taken illegally (outside the High Court during some proceedings, the Eiffel Tower lit at night and so on) and that image is placed on Wiki and subsequently used in good faith you may be liable technically for any action that arises. Unlikely but feasible.
Hello, Jack! It seems as though you have accidentally deleted my comment without replying, or am I mistaken and you have decided to use the theologian's age-old trick of avoiding logic-driven discourse? I have reproduced it below for you. I shall eagerly await your response. All the very best. Mathygrammar (talk) 17:16, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
You have reverted my edit on Pinafore with the comment "Rv to last good version. Please take your case to the Talk Page." As you are addressed and directed me to the Talk in a very personal way, and also implied that my edit was not good, I would suggest that you peruse Civility. I note that you and Ssilvers have had sustained friendly discourse through your Talk pages. This is a splendid thing, friendship, but I think it would be inappropriate to make nonconstructive edits if it simply means "standing up" for your buddy. Talk discussion had already been initiated, so your stating this was unnecessary. Please, feel free to join in the discussion there as to why you believe omitting a clarifying phrase is an edit that is not good.
On 30 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article St Mary's Church, Guildford, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

I see you have copied some material from an obituary on file at Wikisource into the above article. If the material is public domain, you need to provide attribution using ((PD-notice))
. But I don't think it is provably in the public domain in the source country, as the anonymous author of an article written in 1930 could very well not have been dead by 1946 (70 years ago). The material is likely not provably in the public domain in the United States, either. I have removed most of it. But it is still visible in the page history in case you would like to re-write it in your own words. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Greetings, Jack...I was recently copying some of your excellent photos to Commons and I noticed you had recently visited and photographed Aldershot Military Museum - by any chance did you happen to photograph the old M and N block barracks? They are both Grade II listed buildings and the only surviving examples of barracks of that type.[2][3] Kelly hi! 13:50, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure I did and will go through my photos. If not I'm going down Monday and will take them then. Jack1956 (talk) 21:17, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Nick as Tristram.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:46, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
You left me a thank you notification for your nomination as Editor of the Week....which I much appreciate. The problem is, you should not have known about it for another seven weeks (or so) by which time it would have (and still will be) seconded and move up the Queue and be awarded about late August. We have been clerking the Editor of the Week award for many years and only rarely does the intended get "wind of it"! I accidentally pinged you by using the "User10" and then signing at the same time. I usually seperate the two actions. Anyway, let me be the first to congratulate you (seven weeks early). Thanks for all you do! ―Buster7 ☎ 15:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello Jack1956
I am the Founder of the Friends of Roundhay St. John's Church, Leeds, UK. I am also the webmaster for our website, www.roundhayfriends.com. I found the postcard you have of George DeRelwyskow, 1908 and was searching to see if it was copyrighted. I would like this picture for our website as he is buried in the north yard along with several other members of his family, all involved in the wrestling scene. I have included a picture of the grave (actually the family are buried in 2 separate graves) and I thought that it would be interesting for viewers to see what this remarkable champion wrestler looked like. I understand that the photo of him in the wrestling pose is public domain.
Since you are an ecclesiastical person, obviously with many interests! I thought that you might be interested in the many other aspects of the church which is now virtually abandoned. Ancestors of the Duchess of Cambridge are buried in the south (and older) churchyard.
Keep up the good work! and Cheers, Caro. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caro1948 (talk • contribs) 18:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Florence-Marryat.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gamaliel (talk) 21:44, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
