Would have been a good April 1 hook. E Eng 13:14, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

@EEng: Thank you... I double checked his name several times, and the pits could possibly have its own short article. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:36, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Maybe we could somehow link him to Hubert Humphrey and Humbert Humbert. Extra points for Hugh Hefner and Herbert Hoover. E Eng 06:19, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Hulk Hogan, Heimlich Himmler, Harry Houdini, Herman Hollerith, Hermann Hesse, Heinrich Heine, Helen Hayes, Helen Hunt, Hal Holbrook, Herbie Hancock, Harry Hopkins, Heinrich Hertz, Howard Hawks, Hans Holbein. E Eng 15:03, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Major Major Major Major. E Eng 07:42, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

EEng, can anyone play this game - any points for Henry Hoover? GirthSummit _(blether) 15:19, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

The hoover is great. This is quite a challenge and would be good for an edit-a-thon (or pub quiz). None of the above link to Herbert Herbert though. I will give it some thought. Nice to see Girth Summit here. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:46, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey Whispyhistory. When I see two of my favorite Wikipedians (who I didn't realise knew each other) joshing, I reserve the right to insert myself! Hope you're keeping well? GirthSummit _(blether) 21:55, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Girth Summit... you are welcome on my talk page any time. All stable at moment, wishing you and family are well too. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:11, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

FYI...EEng, now that you made me laugh, it wasn't the name that attracted my attention to Herbert Herbert, but that he wrote an incredible paper around 1895 on how it is not just the number of people in a gathering that relates to the spread of an epidemic. I am now reminded that Henry Smith was on my to-do list and links to Herbert...here. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)19:58, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Chester Wilson Emmons

Great work. Lead a little too long. Four paras is the usual maximum length. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:27, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

sure..will have a reflect and rewrite. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:52, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks... Please caste your eye over Emmons .... Also...when writing a plot...how much of the plot can be given away? Whispyhistory (talk) 17:03, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

The whole of it in summary form as encylopedias don't worry about spoilers. Nobody has to read it. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:44, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

It's still far too long for the body, particularly the second para. If everything in the lead is already in the body, be ruthless. It's supposed to be a summary. If anything in the lead is not in the body, move it or duplicate it according to significance. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:48, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Was ruthless as I could be...also did not give away who really committed the murder....but it is still a solid article as far as I see. The plot summary is accurate. Hope that is okay. Can you stub the red links? Whispyhistory (talk) 20:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

I was referring to the lead of Chester Wilson Emmons which still needs adjustments as I suggested. As for Blood Orange, it's still a bit thin if you exclude the plot summary which needs further condensing. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:12, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

I thought I trimmed Chester. I will look at adjusting some more and will see what I can do with Orange. As always...thank you for looking over. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:50, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

I don't know what to cut out. What do you suggest? Whispyhistory (talk) 17:26, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

It's too long generally and for the article. Cut the non-essential. The lead should be a recital of the main points that are in the article below. Also, the second para is far too long. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:49, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Proposed change to the DYK nom/QPQ rules

This will affect you. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:08, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks @Redrose64: and good to hear from you.... that's long...can you summarise that in one sentence? Do I need to do anything? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:39, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

The RfC statement is shown at WP:RFC/PROJ. In one sentence: well, because of the backlog of unreviewed DYKs, they're proposing that prolific DYKers like yourself and Philafrenzy should review two DYKs that were nominated by other people for each one that you nominate yourself. So that could mean twice as much of this.

If you don't mind whether or not the proposal is accepted, you don't need to do anything. But if you want to oppose (or explicitly support) the proposal, a comment would be entirely in order. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:52, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Thomas Nunneley

Hi Whispy, Thomas Nunneley, a noted surgeon. See here. I have three images of him, think he was a Mayor of Leicester too. Broichmore (talk) 08:44, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi ... Good to hear from you @Broichmore:. Looks interesting and he was taught by Astley Cooper. Of course I will add to my to do list. Best Whispyhistory (talk) 10:29, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Broichmore:... out of interest...how did you come across him? Whispyhistory (talk) 07:00, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Nunneley was an expert witness at the trial of trial of William Palmer. Broichmore (talk) 09:52, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

The category "Medical practitioners convicted of murdering their patients" is surprisingly small at only 14 entries. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:52, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

The Gaslight Effect

You need to say more about the reception, critical response, and reviews. That's the core of the notability of the book. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:14, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for looking over. Will do some more. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:07, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Can you find any criticisms? Whispyhistory (talk) 19:42, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

There are two large sections with no references at all but the main thing is that the reviews section (response is not ideal) is still far too short. Wasn't it reviewed? There is a lot of you summarising the content, which is fine, but it's the opinions of reliable third parties that are missing. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:50, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

I thought the summary doesn't need a reference. Understood about opinion...will work on it. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

True. Perhaps there is material that could be moved down to that section. My concern is that the book is in the pop psychology area and not published by an academic publisher. We don't have to swallow everything she says whole as undisputed truth. Is there a sound basis for it? What studies did she do? A proper critical review would ask these questions. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:07, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Popular psychology ?? ok... will investigate. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:10, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Referencing

If in doubt, do or ask for a cite, but see also WP:FACTS WP:CK. There's also an exemption for material already sourced in the linked article I think, but I couldn't see where that was written right now. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:52, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't think I totally understand. Does that mean that what was not followed by an inline citation (where I added "cn"), is okay? Whispyhistory (talk) 05:32, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

It means that for each article you have to use your own judgement as to whether a citation is necessary based on the guidance in those pages and elswhere and taking into account DYK rules which in the reviewing guide say "A rule of thumb for DYK is a minimum of one citation per paragraph, possibly excluding the introduction, plot summaries, and paragraphs which summarize information that's cited elsewhere." Of course, because you are using your own judgement, others may argue with you so if in doubt put a citation in or ask for one. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:38, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

OK...easier to have everything cited. Thank you for guidance. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:29, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Your reply did not address the point I was making. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

I didn't understand....will have another think and reply later. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:01, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

	Great work this year with your articles on neglected illnesses. They have a big impact in the real world. Well done. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:18, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you...Good team work... May take a break at some point and do a biscuit [1]. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Looks like a generic type which may help. I am partial to a ginger nut. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:36, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Agreed that they merit an article. Not sure if I've ever done a biscuit article. Which one would "take the biscuit"? Edwardx (talk) 19:03, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

We have to be sure it is really a biscuit and not a cake in disguise. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:25, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

They look quite dry, and do not have the word "cake" in their name. Sounds like a biscuit to me! Edwardx (talk) 00:26, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I find that doing these articles give good practice in editing and it is surprising that google scholar searches find some interesting articles on some of them eg fracturabity of a rich tea biscuit.[2]. Morphology, chemical and physical properties and x-ray findings discussed [3]. :) Whispyhistory (talk) 07:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

It's not surprising, there's big money in food science and ratings too. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:22, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

You've both made me hungry for new articles, but you won't be able to eat either as they were discontinued some years ago: Abbey Crunch and Toffo. Edwardx (talk) 17:44, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I remember both very well. You can buy Toffo in bulk on eBay. (And why are Wagon Wheels so small nowadays?) Philafrenzy (talk) 20:09, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Debate on wagon wheel size! How do you come across such stuff? Abbey Crunch & Toffo :)...Thanks. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:54, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Revisiting a house I lived in age ten, the realisation came to me that everything seemed bigger back then because I was smaller. Except wagon wheels. They were enormous. Think I started at Category:Biscuits and Category:Biscuit brands. Then searching the 'net for defunct sweets/biscuits, on the assumption that if they were discontinued years ago, then we were less likely to have an article. Edwardx (talk) 17:31, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

I agree, it's not us that got bigger, it's the Wagon Wheels that got smaller. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:10, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

As Norma Desmond might have said: Sunset Boulevard. Edwardx (talk) 19:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

My butler has been sending them fake fan letters for years in the hope they would bring back the sizing from the good old days. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:05, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

:) Toffo would make a good dyk. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:53, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Toffo could indeed make a good DYK, but getting it to 1500 characters from the current 406 may be biting off more than we can chew. Have just started Cabana (chocolate bar) - the casual stereotyping of the old ad takes one back. Edwardx (talk) 20:48, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Not to mention the sexism of Galaxy (women) and Yorkie (men) chocolate bars. And don't get me started on the Milk Tray Man. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:30, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

I can't remember why but I grew up thinking girls were not allowed to eat these. FYI...Sought out some advice for toffo from a dental expert who was interested in watching the article being constructed...they replied..."as with all toffees the sugar in them breaks down to acid which attacks tooth enamel, leading to decay. After chewing toffee, ideally brush with a fluoride toothpaste. Otherwise rinse the mouth with water". :) Whispyhistory (talk) 10:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

They used a HGV driver in the advertising! Sound dental advice. Here's a pink tool kit that contains nothing a regular tool kit doesn't. When you hit a nail with a hammer, it doesn't know what colour the hammer is. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:14, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Never seen a pink toffee hammer. Looking at para 2, maybe there is a gap in the market. Edwardx (talk) 12:43, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Interesting. Dental update "There's a PhD for someone. Perhaps we should start with Haribos. The two important factors are rate of release of sugar and stickiness". Whispyhistory (talk) 13:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

I will report back next week when I have done the PhD. With all this sugar, it shouldn't take longer. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:41, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

It's an excellent primary source. Following the description of the panel, he gives an account of soldiers and their dogs and in his opinion, why their dogs look like them. Skimming through, it is a valuable document for anyone studying that era. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:35, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Is there anything you can add to his bio? I would like to borrow the book sometime. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:09, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
