Dear Ottava Rima, Thank you for your welcome. I have landed here by the kind assistance of Adricola. His advise was opportune and I promise to keep him informed of my progress. I hope that is acceptable? You will observe The Demise of an Irish Clan has been uploaded. There were problems mounting this - previous chapters kept on popping up which was a little disconcerting. I trust you will find the pages acceptable. Regards,--Terence Kearey 17:10, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Ottava Rima, As you may have seen I have put two sections of my page: Horse, Tractor, and Van. [Victorian Bayswater] as a contribution. I do hope this is in keeping with your policy. Please let me know if it is acceptable - that I should continue to upload the other five sections. Regards,--Terence Kearey 11:38, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Ottava Rima, At last! Horses, Tractors, and Vans, is up and running. I do hope it proves successful. I am grateful for your help guiding me through. Please may I now upload 'Pillbox, Shako, and Cap, history of The Kensington Battalion, and the part Albert Kearey played - to become 'a national hero'.--Terence Kearey 14:08, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Linking pages
Hi Terry, I think your pages would work better if you use the "/" as I have done here:
 * Tudor Origins of the British Empire/Culture
 * Tudor Origins of the British Empire/Dynasty
 * Tudor Origins of the British Empire/Governance
 * Tudor Origins of the British Empire/Religion
 * Tudor Origins of the British Empire/Science
 * Tudor Origins of the British Empire/Trade
 * Tudor Origins of the British Empire/War

If you decide to do this, it's easiest to use the move tab.

I shall add some tabs to the pages to help people come across them. Please see   Harrypotter 23:47, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Linking pages
Dear Harrypotter, Thank you for your interest. There is just one tiny problem, I am fairly web page ignorant, What you say sounds perfect but reads a bit like, 'Moms apple pie'. If you go back as far as the start of Apple Computers you will understand. Its just a matter of retuning my brain. I shall do my best but you will have to be forgiving! Please continue with your suggestion. I am not quite with the move tab, as for "/" does that refer to double square brackets. There, you see what I mean. Can you demonstrate using the edit on the title for category? OK, I now know what the spanner does and ""/"" piped link. Regards --Terence Kearey 13:14, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Terry, Yes I can remember when I started out on wikis! What I often do is copy stuffthat I like from other pages. If it works, fine, if not, I scrap it. What I was getting at with the stuff above is the way in Tudor Origins of the British Empire/Dynasty, for example, when you go to the page, the stuff before the "/" is up in the top left corner and you can immediately go to the mother page. This is the simplest way of linking the pages, although navigation templates are also useful - but perhaps a bit too complicated if you are just starting out.  This puts the page in a category. This means it is listed as a category at the bottom of the page. If you click on the name of the category, then it shows you all the page with the category box. This will help people interested in the First World War find your page. I similar category for "Family History" might be appropriate, but I don't think anyone has developed one yet. I put it in a box, otherwise it would put your user page in the category, which would just make confusion. If you go into edit mode, you can see how this was done. I just copied it from somewhere, and can't claim to know much about it or how it works!Harrypotter 14:48, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikisource v. Wikiversity!
Hi Terence, yo umight want to put things like your Chard book onto wikibooks instead :-) –SJ + > 18:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Harrypotter, Thank you once again. Can I impose upon you to transfer the pages. I have now included the acknowledgements for The Collins of Chard at the bottom of section 5. The pages are now complete. May I continue uploading Tatworth Village. I will do that straight into wikibooks if that is OK. Best wishes and thanks again. Terence

Your Book has been moved
Your book, O'Ciadha, Gaelic Irish history, has been moved to WB under https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Atcovi/Import1. This is so that your hard-work would be saved. Please respond here or at my talk page here at WV or WB if you want to make your work at WB a book. Otherwise, your work will remain under that title at WB. Thank you. -Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 16:36, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
