Handel's lost operas
It is normal practice to open a talk page thread before moving an article title. You shouldn't just barge in and do it unless there is an obvious error. There are established WP precedents for the use of the full name in such articles, notably Lost operas by Claudio Monteverdi and George Frideric Handel's art collection. I'm quite prepared to have a discussion – you are of course entitled to make a case for your preferred form of title, and I'll naturally go along with any consensus that indicates that your suggestion is the more appropriate one. In the meantime I am reverting to the former title. Brianboulton (talk) 21:48, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
English Folk Song Suite
Hello, JackofOz. Gordon Jacob merely transcribed English Folk Song Suite for symphony orchestra. Is 'Category:Compositions by Gordon Jacob' appropriate? --Tijd-jp (talk) 15:48, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm. Maybe not. Feel free to revert. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 07:15, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for December 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles Kennedy Scott, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Bells (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.

Sterndale Bennett
Hi Jack! In case you may be interested, I have initiated a peer review for William Sterndale Bennett - I am hoping to get the article up to GA/FA for his bicentenary in April 2016. Best, --Smerus (talk) 10:12, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll take a gander at it. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 20:09, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
Capital punishment
We dasn't capitalize "century" in my neck of the woods. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:22, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- Very good. I was, of course, just testing to see which of my acolytes were awake. :) -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 20:10, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

John McEwen#Personal
I just learnt about it while replying; I was planning to say merely "you have to leave Oz to die", with a link to the drowning, but I couldn't remember who it was, so I had to look him up, and as it had been a while since I looked at his article, I ended up reading the whole thing. This made me curious about his successor ("what is the Country Party, and how was the deputy PM not a National? Of course this will be mentioned in the article about the guy who succeeded him, so I'll click that link") and prompted me to read McEwen's article. Nyttend (talk) 14:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
Fritz Fryer
Hello
You made an edit to the article on The Four Pennies claiming that the grandfather of Fritz Fryer was Herbert Fryer.
Did this come from the obituary? Ideally this should be cited?
However I think the obituary may be wrong. I am related to Fritz and I happen to know that his grandfather was called Arthur Fryer.
Thanks

- Hi. Citation now provided. I cannot explain the disconnect between the source and your private knowledge. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 00:26, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

led vs lead
I suggest you read this link, which explains when to use led and when to use lead. http://grammarist.com/spelling/led-lead/ -- Toddy1 (talk) 00:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello J. I hope that you are well. I always enjoy reading through your quotes/antiquotes page and watching new additions to it. I thought you might enjoy some of the banter here User talk:Acroterion#REMOVE .22Acroterion.22 as WIKIPEDIA ADMINISTRATOR. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 00:08, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, M. I love a good insult. Keep 'em coming. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 00:18, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

- You are welcome. Last century I tried gargling from that fountain but all it did was give me a smart mouth for a couple weeks and that caused me more trouble than it was worth :-) A groaner of a joke to be sure but I couldn't resist. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 01:19, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
