WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology edit
Welcome! Since you're kinda new to Wikipedia as a whole, I thought it might be best as an experienced user to say a few things about how the WikiProject operates. It covers heraldic armory (heraldry) and flags (vexillology). If you want to know more about the WikiProject's operation or general guidance, you can ask here and start a new section. A word on User:Jwasanders/testpage: it's good so far, but remember to include references. The all-emcompassing guide is here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Charles Townshend, 8th Marquess Townshend edit
A tag has been placed on Charles Townshend, 8th Marquess Townshend requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

The article Charles Townshend, 8th Marquess Townshend has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Fails WP:GNG, no real claim to significance.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Codf1977 (talk) 12:06, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Lord Great Chamberlain edit
Hi Jwasanders, I'm just seeking some further details about information you've provided on the office of Lord Great Chamberlain, specifically regarding the 'rotation system' for its inheritance.
In some edits you've made, for example to articles on Baron Nunburnholme, Rufus Keppel and William Legge, you explain the system of fractional parts inherited by various branches of the family, and how the sequence should work in successive reigns. I'm interested in following this up some more and wondered if you can provide an external reference for these facts? I think the articles would be improved too, if a reference could be given.
Hope you can help. Thanks for your contributions. FrankP (talk) 13:48, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 16 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Norton, 5th Baron Grantley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Commodore (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
