Your comment about the Burges book at the [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Alexis Soyer/archive1|Soyer FAC]] is very much to the point. Someone may well see the incorrect statement about WB's visiting the Middle East and innocently add it to the article. It might be a good idea if you were to post a note on the talk page of WB's article explaining that the statement on page so-and-so of Whatshisname's book that WB visited the Middle East is wrong, and add citations substantiating the fact that he never went further east than Constantinople. [[user:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] and I had to [[Talk:Richard D'Oyly Carte/Archive 3#Alias?|bat off the much perpetuated and wholly inaccurate myth]] that [[Richard D'Oyly Carte]]'s real name was Richard Doyle McCarthy, and we've left a note refuting it on the article talk page. Might help, might not, but better than nothing.

== Monmouthshire listed buildings ==

On the Grade I and II* lists I have replaced the "Cadw listed building header" with the equivalent wikitable code for now (I think these are the only ones, but if their are any other lists like these that use the header, but not the row template, these will need to be changed too). If the templates are changed and the columns are rearranged it would cause problems if using only the header without the matching row template. By removing the header template it means that changes made to the templates won't have an impact on these articles. Once the updating of the templates is complete these articles can be reworked as needed and the templates added back into them, but they won't have been messed up at any point during the updating process.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly.

Misleading (i.e. plain wrong) sources

Your comment about the Burges book at the Soyer FAC is very much to the point. Someone may well see the incorrect statement about WB's visiting the Middle East and innocently add it to the article.
