PS Thanks for all your contributions in the last 2 days -- you're off to a fast start! Wikipedia always needs good, new content. I hope you'll expand some of your new stuff as well as adding more articles. I noticed some of your contributions were Crosse-related, so I'm guessing there's a possibility these people may have been ancestors as well as historical figures. If they're "notable", that's OK -- I've corrected information in existing articles on some of my own ancestors -- but you must be extra diligent to make sure your work meets Wikipedia's guidelines (see Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines).
Anyway, thanks for all the contributions -- keep them coming!

Yes - Cheddington is a beautiful village, as are the surrounding ones.
[edit] Cheltenham College
Greetings
You have reverted the Cheltenham article to exclude my early reference to Cheltenham College without any explanation. Please would you kindly explain by leaving a message on my user talk page? If there is good reason then I have no problem with the exclusion.
Thanks

- Hi. The issue has been discussed ad nauseum on Talk:Cheltenham (talk page is always your first port of call if you find resistence to your edits) and consensus was to only mention the Ladies College. (I orginally argued for inclusion of Cheltenham College; we lost). The problem is that everyone thinks their school is fascinating and should be mentioned, in reality we should only be making a point of mentioning those which are internationally famous and it was felt that this school is not. If you want to reignite the debate and try for a change in consensus, please raise the issue again on Talk:Cheltenham. Hope that helps. --kingboyk 12:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gloucestershire College of Arts and Technology
Since you're new and keen, I don't suppose you'd be interested in turning the above link blue would you? :) If you created a stub, I'm happy to mop up behind and sort out redirects and categorisation. --kingboyk 12:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheddington
Agreed that it's a beautiful village: I live in nearby Aylesbury. Feel free to improve the Cheddington article at any time! -- Francs2000 07:46, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
