March Pursuivant Badge

Is it possible to find out what tincture is the demi lion rampant? (I am guessing that its white). Thank you! Sodacan (talk) 08:11, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

The demi lion is also Gules. I have uploaded the painting to the Lyon Court Twitter account. Mark Hamid (talk) 10:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much! uploaded a version of the badge and added it to appropriate pages, Best Regards! Sodacan (talk) 15:20, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Santi Gioacchino e Anna al Tuscolano, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cardinal. 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.

Kt

Please note that Kt is almost never used as a postnom except very, very rarely in extremely formal documents, and then almost always in its full form as "Knight". It is not even used in the Honours Lists in the London Gazette, which should give you a clue as to its non-usage. I'm not sure what you mean when you say it should be removed from the whole article. Nobody is saying he isn't still a knight bachelor, but his peerage effectively supersedes this as far as his style is concerned. Many peers were knighted before they were raised to the peerage, yet almost no WP articles use the postnom (and where they do they shouldn't). -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:19, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

I am happy to accept your point, but you should remove the error consistently: further down the article "Kt" is used again but you didn't take sufficient care to remove it from there. I must say "nope" is hardly an adequate reduction of the explanation you have given above when signing an edit. Mark Hamid (talk) 10:24, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

The reason for the brief edit summary is that these incorrect postnoms are mostly added by a single misguided editor who knows exactly what I mean! As will anyone else who knows anything about British honours. As to "sufficient care" to remove other references, I'm not going to fully check every article I edit for every mistake that may have entered into it or I'd never have time to do anything else given the rubbish that some editors insist on adding (the pointless lists of styles in some biographical articles among them). As far as these errors in style go, I look for obvious errors in the most visible parts of the article (i.e. the first line and the infobox), which is usually the only place where they occur. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Fr. Hugh Allan

The press release.......... Mangwanani ^(talk) 21:30, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

If there's is a press release you need to cite it *in the article*; it is not either of the existing references on the page. Mark Hamid (talk) 21:37, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

This may be of use for you to read. It's perfectly stupid to delete information that is common knowledge anyway, such as his date of ordination and the bishop ordaining. As for the rest, ask him yourself. You'll find no error in that information. Mangwanani ^(talk) 21:42, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

You could just cite the press release... Mark Hamid (talk) 21:46, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

PRESS RELEASE From the Norbertine Priory of Our Lady of Sorrows and St Philip Benizi, Chelmsford For Immediate Release Wednesday 26th October 2016; 12.00pm

Norbertine Abbot to Head Falkland’s Prefecture and South Atlantic Mission First Abbot of Beeleigh since 1536 The Rt Revd Hugh Allan o.praem, Prior of the Norbertine Priory of Our Lady of Sorrows and St Philip Benizi, Chelmsford, has been appointed the Apostolic Administrator of the Prefecture of the Falkland Islands and Ecclesiastical Superior of the Mission sui iuris of the islands of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, ad quinquennium (for a period of five years). He was appointed to this post by Cardinal Fernando Filoni, Prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation of the Evangelisation of Peoples. In recognition of this ecclesiastical appointment, Fr Hugh Allan has also been elevated to the title of ‘Titular Abbot of Beeleigh’ by the Abbot General of the Norbertine Order, the Most Revd Thomas Handgrätinger o.praem. Abbot Hugh Allan will continue to head his community in Chelmsford whilst carrying out his new duties. He will also continue to serve as parish priest of the parishes of Our Lady Immaculate and The Holy Name, Chelmsford. Falklands and the South Atlantic Mission As the Apostolic Administrator of the Falklands and Superior of the self-governing Mission to the other UK Territories in the South Atlantic, Abbot Hugh replaces Monsignor Michael McPartland SMA, who has headed both the Prefecture and Mission since August 2002. Having reached the canonical age of retirement and having suffered from ill health, Mgr McPartland recently submitted his resignation so that a successor could be appointed. Abbot Hugh will now have responsibility for the Catholic community on the Falkland Islands and the other territories, and will continue to support Fr John Wisdom o.praem, who ministers as a priest on the Falkland Islands, and who is a member of new Abbot’s Norbertine community in Essex. Fr John has been in Stanley since August 2015, during which time he has built good relations with the Islanders and with the military community at RAF Mount Pleasant on East Falkland. Titular Abbot of Beeleigh In response to his appointment as Apostolic Administrator and Superior of the sui iuris Mission, the Abbot General of the Norbertines granted Hugh Allan the titular title of ‘Abbot of Beeleigh’. Beeleigh Abbey, a former Norbertine house, was founded in 1172 near Harlow, Essex, and moved to Beeleigh, in Maldon, Essex, in 1180. It was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. Geographically, it is the closest former Premonstratensian house to the Order’s current Priory in Chelmsford. Since the Reformation, the Abbey has served as a private house, and the current owners, Christopher Folye (Folyes bookshops) and his wife Catherine, are friends of the Norbertines in Chelmsford. They have welcomed the Chelmsford community to their home and, on one such recent visit, the now Abbot Hugh celebrated Mass at the old Abbey. Upon hearing of his appointment, Abbot Hugh said: “It is with profound trust in the loving mercy of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ that I prepare to take up my appointment as the Apostolic Administrator of the Falkland Island and Superior of the Mission sui juris of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, in succession to the wonderful Monsignor Michael McPartland. “The day after receiving my letter of appointment, I visited Mgr McPartland in the hospital and he gave me his blessing. He also wanted me to pass on his blessings and his love to the people of the South Atlantic. In November, I will make my first visit to the Ascension Island and then the Falkland Islands. In the New Year, I look forward to making my first visits to Tristan da Cunha and St Helena.” Reacting to news of Abbot Hugh’s appointment, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, said: “We are grateful for the generosity of the Norbertine Community in Chelmsford, and especially Fr Allan who will be supporting Fr Wisdom on the Islands and the other missions in the South Atlantic. We are also indebted to the work that Monsignor McPartland has done over the past 14 years. Mgr McPartland has been in poor health for the past few months and we wish him well as the responsibility of the South Atlantic passes over to the Norbertines.” Responding to the news that a churchman now holds the title of Abbot of Beeleigh for the first time since 1536, Christopher and Catherine Foyle, owners of Beeleigh Abbey, said: “We are delighted with the appointment and that Fr Hugh Allan is now the titular Abbot of Beeleigh!”

Note to Editors i. The Apostolic Prefecture of the Falkland Islands is a Catholic Apostolic Prefecture (a form of ‘missionary diocese’) located on the Falkland Islands. It covers the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The Prefecture is immediately subject to the Holy See (the Pope) and St Mary’s Church, Stanley, serves as both its church on the Falklands and its episcopal see. In August 1986, a Mission sui iuris (self-governing) was created for the British Overseas Territory of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. This territory is comprised of the Atlantic Ocean islands of St Helena, Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha. ii. Hugh Allan was born in Hertfordshire, England, to a Scottish family from the town of Auchtermuchty, located close to the village of Falkland. He trained to be a teacher at St Mary’s University, Twickenham (St Mary’s, Strawberry Hill). On leaving university, he joined the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, also known as the Premonstratensians, the Norbertines or ‘White Canons’. Following his novitiate, he was sent to complete further studies at St Benet's Hall, Oxford. He was ordained a priest in November 2002. Following ordination, he worked as a full-time school chaplain in North Manchester. In 2004, he was appointed parish priest of Gorton, Manchester. In 2006, he was appointed superior of the Norbertine community in Manchester, aged only 29. At the time, he was the youngest Catholic religious superior in the world. In 2008, the Norbertines opened a new Priory in Chelmsford and he was appointed superior to this new canonry. At the same time, he was appointed parish priest of Chelmsford and, in recent years, has also served as the Area Dean for Mid-Essex. iii. Abbot Hugh Allan o.praem will be available for comment and interviews on the afternoon of Friday 28 October. To arrange an interview with Abbot Hugh, or for further details regarding his appointment and / or his nomination as Titular Abbot of Beeleigh, please contact Br Gildas Parry via email brgildas@gmail.com. iv.

It is not Wikipedia practice to delete almost an entire page, simply for a missing citation. As a collaborative and constructive project, it is far more useful to make the effort to source citations independently rather than set about deleting things, if that is your main concern. Otherwise, this would be a rather empty website. Mangwanani ^(talk) 22:01, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Susan Rice (banker)

Susan Rice is however married to a knight (Sir Duncan Rice) - do we not recognise courtesy titles for spouses on wikipedia? Davidkinnen (talk) 13:43, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

I agree with you but it's a tricky one: "Susan, Lady Rice CBE" is clumsy; "Lady Rice" seems bald. "Susan Rice CBE" reflects her position in her own right; that seemed more appropriate in what is a professional context, and it's certainly less incorrect than it was. Mark Hamid (talk) 15:05, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

The solution would be to make her a dame! Mark Hamid (talk) 15:06, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

I quite agree - solves the whole problem... and a man in her position would likely be made knight bachelor as a matter of course. I also agree that Susan Rice CBE is the best-fit solution. Davidkinnen (talk) 15:15, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

I know it was a while ago now, but the damehood was forthcoming! Perhaps the government saw the idea here first?! Mark Hamid (talk) 22:33, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Reverts to Mark Lindley-Highfield of Ballumbie Castle

Hi Mark.hamid. I just wanted to leave you a message regarding the revert and edit summary that you made here to Mark Lindley-Highfield of Ballumbie Castle. In your edit summary, your reason for reverting the changes was because you felt that this user needed to sign in using an account in order to make these changes. This is not true, and the shortcut you cited (WP:VANITY) is no longer active and it's advised on the redirect page that we avoid using this shortcut, as the term can be considered insulting to the subjects of articles. Has this IP address disclosed a conflict of interest, or are there just suspicions? Let me know and I'll be happy to take a look if needed. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:35, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah, Thanks for your intervention. I apologise for using the wrong shortcut which is indicative of how long the issue with the page has been rumbling on. I appreciate that it is not necessary to sign in to leave edits, but in this particular case I think there is a clear (WP:COI) as the IP concerned is a single issue editor. Given the history of problems with this page, including likely sockpuppetting to promote Mr Lindley-Highfield's claims to grandeur and also the appearance of an account in the edit history which we can hardly doubt is the subject himself, I think it is reasonable to be suspicious about the appearance of this material from this particular source. It has been suggested that I have something personal against the page subject, which is not the case, but as someone with an interest in the study of the Scottish gentry etc. I do object to attempts by those who have an actual interest in these bought titles trying to legitimise their fanciful use through vainglorious edits and articles; all there efforts do is bring Scottish heritage and the Wikipedia project into disrepute and it is for this reason that I continue to keep an eye on their promotion here. Mark Hamid (talk) 16:34, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Mark.hamid! I appreciate your response here. No worries about the shortcut; I was only letting giving you a friendly note about it was all :-). I agree that the edits by the IP seem solely focused on this article and that reasonable suspicion for COI, SPA, etc is appropriate. Keep an eye on things, and if disruption picks up or if I need to step in and look into something further, let me know and I'll be happy to do so. Thanks again for the response and I appreciate your diligence and excellent work here :-). Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah, Thanks for your understanding. Just to note the page is now being considered for deletion. Mark Hamid (talk) 17:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for letting me know. A watch will need to be kept on both the article and the AFD discussion now... fun. lol ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:09, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

File:RC Galloway Diocese Arms.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

RC Diocese of Galloway

Hello Mark,

The separate section was to reflect the status of Ayr as the "Cathedral City" of the diocese; in this I was merely adhering to the usual protocol and indeed the form as used in every edition of "The Catholic Directory for Scotland" that I have seen. I'm not sure what you mean by "Kilmarnock has more" ? As to the closed "Good Shepherd Cathedral" , this was dealt with earlier in the text and has its own Wikipedia page.

Regards. Jamie

Jamie Stuart (talk) 08:10, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jamie, Thanks for your message. I hear what you are saying, but my view is that the previous list looked clumsy. The Catholic Directory format works well for a diocese with an obvious urban centre but it is much less effective in a rural diocese like Galloway. Note in particular that Ayr doesn't feature in the diocesan name. The claim to be a "cathedral city" is, to my mind, spurious. My point about Kilmarnock is linked to the observation about major urban centres as Ayr only has two churches and the centre could easily be in Kilmarnock (bear in mind that Bishop Nolan's consecration was actually done there). In order to balance these factors I kept the cathedral first in the list with the other Ayr churches immediately following. Separately, Good Shepherd was included in the list for completeness, given the references to other former churches; it's important to strike a balance between repeating material and recognising that the information is often accessed as standalone sections. Having said all of that it is good to observe the article developing over the last five years. Yours, Mark Mark Hamid (talk) 10:37, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
