Your ref desk question

It's probably worth checking out the discussion on the talk page. Astronaut (talk) 12:38, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably also worth using some common sense -- I can't understand why your simple factual question wasn't answered and I have worked as a paralaegal and well know the limits. By that criteria, all legal articles on Wikipedia are offering legal advice. Facts are facts. Oh, well, no time for that meta-discussion. A Google search, confined to UK domain and carefully scrutinized for authorship and perceived authority, should easily answer your simple factual question (certainly not a request for legal advice, as you explicitly stipulated) in one to less than 5 minutes . Try entering: site:uk "number of executors" for an English will -- Paulscrawl (talk) 14:08, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Burrow Mump

Hi, Happy to try to help but I'm not a geology expert (I just do lots on articles on Somerset). If you go to the article Burrow Mump and click on the "view history" tab it will show you all the users who have edited it. It was first created by User:Celiakozlowski on 19 September 2007 - but I don't believe she is active on wikipedia any more. I've got a few of the books etc listed on the reference list of the article & haven't seen any speculation about it being man made (apart from the top part being scarped for defensive reasons). For local geology questions I often contact User:Geopersona who has helped me with Glastonbury Tor among other articles.— Rod ^talk 16:34, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. If you do dig up anything else (from Reliable sources) please add it to the article.— Rod ^talk 16:47, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fractint

Hey there! I thought that you might not have peeked back at WP:RDMA#Anyone old enough to answer this? once your question was answered, and I wanted to make sure you saw the current praise for Fractint, which was likely the program you were running. Cheers! -- ToE 02:08, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have found it and you are right- it was Fractint. Gurumaister (talk) 06:52, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
