If you plan to provide more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:C. E Fox. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

- have made it a bit longer but there is not much known about him. Will try to find further information in due course --Pudupudu 10:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

- Hi, Sorry I missed this happening, otherwise I would have intervened. Please could you create User:Pudupudu/Charles Elliot Fox with the text you have already researched, and I will help you prepare it to be a suitable stub. John Vandenberg 21:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] W.H.R Rivers article
Just want to say thanks for all the excellent work you're doing on the W.H.R. Rivers article. Great read, thanks very much - Vaughan 14:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've also enjoyed reading the updates as they appear. Great work. :-) John Vandenberg 21:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] a proper hello
Hi, nice to meet you properly Kayleigh! Also good to see some new facts on Rivers. You might be interested that Offham (disambiguation) has three entries, all without an article. Of those, I think Offham, Kent is where Offham Rectory is. I wonder how far away Offham is from West Malling. John Vandenberg 11:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
-- It is near West Malling I think (his father was 'Curate In Charge Of Offham And Chaplain Malling Union' according to the 1881 census so they must be near to each other)--Pudupudu 12:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
--- I deleted the reference because I didn't know how best to word it- his dwelling was the Offham Rectory but I don't know how to fit that information in without breaking the flow- "he lived at the Offham Rectory..." yes, and? I can't seem to make it work --Pudupudu 12:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikisource
Im only new to wikisource and wikiquote, but I've chatted to some of the regulars of the project to get a feel for what we can add there. The general rule is that any of the writings of W. H. R. Rivers will not be under copyright any more, so we can add almost all of them. So, if you get your hands on any book that he wrote, or find any online copy of something he wrote, we can probably add it to s:Author:W.H.R.Rivers. I've started by creating the table of contents for the two volumes of s:The History of Melanesian Society, however I couldnt find a digital version of the text, so thats as far as I can go with that one at this stage. Do you recall finding any PDFs of his writings? John Vandenberg 11:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
--- Go onto the 'Published Works' section. I posted some links on there: The Todas, The Action of Drugs, Volume one of the History of Melanesian Society, The Repression of War Experience and Instinct and the Unconscious. I also have Medicine Magic and Religion, Conflict and Dream and several other published articles etc in book forms and will start typing up. Is this ok? --Pudupudu 11:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- The link for Volume one of the History of Melanesian Society[1] is actually only a few pages. Do you have more of this work in digital form? (the table of contents is really intriguing; I now want to read more of it!)
- I've just now had a look at "the Todas" PDF, and that will be pretty easy to put online. I'll do that now :-) John Vandenberg 11:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'll have a look and if I can't find it I will try to get hold of a copy of the books. If all else fails then I'll have another look in October when I get to test out the claim that the Bodleian Library has a copy of every published book --Pudupudu 12:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Don't be discouraged!
Please, don't be discouraged! Your work was very good, it is just it's not alongside the specifications a wikipedia article should be. If you require any help with the article, i would be happy to help you where you have any problems. Although i'm not a religious man in any way, perhaps a nice little bible quote would suffice;
| “ | Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. ... It is more blessed to give than to receive. | ” |
