Hello Marina I thought I'd reach out to you as I wanted to discuss what I fear may be a sensitive issue as I have a few concern about the use of photos of paintings of people in English Wikipedia articles that were created by the Wiki Unseen Project. The project itself looks a brilliant way to recognise people's achievements and a wonderful way to involve individuals and communities in appreciating what Wikipedia has written about them. And some of the artworks the project has produced do look really impressive, and it's great that Wikipedia is being used as a catalyst for such creativity. My concern is that this encyclopaedia should never be using paintings to give an artist's impression of what someone looked like as the main Infobox image whjere a modern day photograph is available and more suitable. Wherever possible, a photograph should be used. My rationale is as follows, and I'm hoping you will understand where I'm coming from when I explain my thoughts.
My views above are my own, but are not restricted to representations of people. I have been equally unhappy to see non-scientific 'artwork' created by amateurs used to recreate what a fossil organism might once have looked like in life. I have also had to explain to amateur artists that their own artwork have no place on Wikipedia, where they are seen more as an attempt to promote their artistic skills than to represent the people they are interpreting.
None of this is to decry the Wiki Unseen project itself - just that products from that project should not be used in lieue of accurate photographic imagery under a fair use rationale of that person. I appreciate my thoughts might be taken as criticism of the project, which it most certainly isn't, just that having the goal of putting drawing of people made from photographs rather than the photographs themselves does not serve the encyclopaedia as effectively as little to

First, I should probably declare from the outset that I'm embarassed to say I'm one of those white, male cis, Northern hemisphere editors (albeit over 60!) who tend to predominate here, but I do what I can to redresss the balance whenever possible. So please bear in mind if I may say something that is not the most sensitive, it will be becasue of my sheltered narrow or sheltered upbringing rather than any intent to cause offense. Secondly, say that I think the project is a great way to involve people in recognising the achievements

In the UK, the hen harrier suffers illegal persecution by gamekeepers and their employers on shooting estates, particularly those managed for red grouse shooting, resulting in local and regional extinction in many areas, particularly in England where in 2013 for the first time since the 1960s hen harriers failed to nest successfully[1] despite abundant suitable habitat capable of holding several hundred pairs.[2][3][4] Because of this they are now very rare in many parts of the UK, and under threat in many more areas.[5][6][7]
This problem received a high profile in October 2007 when police investigating the alleged killing of two hen harriers on the Queen's estate at SandringhaminNorfolk interviewed Prince Harry and a friend, William van Cutsem, during their investigation.[8][9] No charges were brought as police were unable to obtain sufficient evidence to prosecute.[3][10][11]
Since the assumed threat to red grouse is the main reason for the persecution of this species in the UK, a project funded by Scottish Natural Heritage, the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, the RSPB and Natural England was launched at Langholm Moor in Scotland from 2007. The Langholm Moor Demonstration Project (LMDP), a 10-year investigation, costing £3 million, is intended to see whether grouse and raptors can live side-by-side harmoniously.
A similar project, the Joint Raptor Study (also referred to as the 'JRS' or 'the Langholm Study'), was run on Langholm from 1992 to 1997. The study made many findings and a host of peer reviewed papers were published on the work, in addition to the final report. Among the most often quoted findings were that long term declines in red grouse populations were "extremely unlikely" to be due to raptor predation and were attributed to habitat degradation/loss, and that raptor predation was the most likely explanation for the failure of grouse stocks to recover at Langholm once the population had fallen to a low level.[12] The project ended in 1997, although a follow up supplementary feeding trial was run by the same team in 1998 and 1999. Grouse shooting on the moor was abandoned for the 1998 season onwards.[13][14]
While the Langholm Project is working on practical solutions, another project is focusing on raising awareness about the plight of hen harriers and inspiring people to care about them. Despite its status as England's most threatened bird of prey, most people have never even heard of a hen harrier.[citation needed] Though once seen, it is rarely forgotten. In October 2011, the RSPB began Skydancer, a four-year project with the aim of protecting and promoting the conservation of hen harriers across their remaining breeding grounds in northern England.[15] Skydancer is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and United Utilities, and supported by the Forestry Commission.
Public concern over the continued failure of shooting estates to change their approach to moorland predator management led in 2013 and 2014 to the unofficial designation of a day in August as 'Hen Harrier Day', with events planned on various northern uplands of England to highlight the plight of illegal Hen Harrier persecution. [16] [17]Anepetition to HM Government to ban driven grouse shooting in England was launched at the same time. [18]

Within a population dynamics context, we say that a species went locally extinct, later to document its return. Conveying our findings matters, for when we use local extinction, an essentially nonsensical phrase, rather than extirpation, which is what is meant, then we contribute to, if not create outright, a problem for public understanding of conservation, particularly as local extinction is often shortened to extinction in media sources. The public that receives the message of our research void of context and modifiers comes away with the idea that extinction is not forever or, worse for conservation as a whole, that an extinction crisis has been invented.

How do I create two separate Hot Article feeds, where one project is a dependant of another, and where they share the same wikiproject template? Specifically, I'd like to create a feed for WP:WikiProject Mountains of the Alps task force, which uses the same template as its parent, WP:WikiProject Mountains, namely:

When editing a page, it can sometimes be difficult to separate article content from all the other text, such as references, wikilinks, hyperlinks and template text.
To help you distinguish them, turn on 'Syntax highlighting' which shows different colours for different types of content. Just click the marker pen icon (
) in the editing toolbar. It's just to the left of the 'Advanced' option.
Article text remains black, but wikilinks appear blue, template content appears purple, whilst reference opening and closing commands appear green.

Samuel Butler (1750-1812) was an actor and founder of the Georgian Theatre Richmond, and six? other theatres in Northern England.
Butler was born in York, and became apprenticed to a corset-maker. On completion of his apprenticeship he pursued a life in acting. REF YP
He eventually joined a touring company of actors, owned and managed by M J Wright. There, whilst performing in the town of Guiseborough, Butler met Wright's wife, Tryphosa. Subsequently, upon Wright's death, Butler who eas then aged 23 married Tryphosa, then aged 46. REF YP
In 1778, Butler applied to the Mayor of the Corporation of Richmond to create a theatre in the town, saying that he: "wished to accommodate the town and county in a more commodious manner and would with their approval and assistance erect a proper theatre" He successfully lease a site there, on condition that he cleared the site and constructed the theatr building at his own risk, paying 5 pounds(units?) per annum,.

Giovanni Gnifetti (13 April 1801-4 December 167) was a parish priest and mountaineer from the village of Alagna ValsesiainItaly. In 1842 he became the first person to successfully reach the 4,554 metres (14,941 ft) summit of the Signalkuppe on the Monte Rosa massif in Italy.
He served as the chaplain and deputy parish priest in Alagna before becoming its priest in 1834, a post he retained until his death.
It was largely as a result of his book, Nozioni topografiche del Monte Rose that many Italian and foreign tourists began to visit the region.[1]
In 1856 the king of Sardina, Vittorio Emmanuelle II, honoured Gnifetti with the order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, and in 1866 the Turin Alpine Club gave him honourable membership.[1]: 383
Although known in the German language as the Signalkuppe, this high summit is known in the Italian as the Punta Gnifetti. The mountain refuge, the Gnifetti Hut (Italian: Cabane Giovanni Gnifetti), in the Aosta Valley is also named in his honour.

Members of the England–based Alpine Club were instrumental in many of the first ascents, usually accompanied by guides from the towns of Chamonix or Courmayeur, such as Michel Croz, Michel Payot and Émile Rey, as well as the Swiss guide, Christian Almer.[12][13 is Almer listed?

There are over 100 different routes to the summit of Mont Blanc, and of varying degrees of difficulty and danger. All require good fitness, acclimatisation to high altitude, mountain competence and favourable weather conditions. In peak season an estimate 350-400 people per day attempt the summit, with an failure rate of between 40%-100%. In 2012 there were 13 fatalities amongst those attempting to reach the summit.[6]
Four (??) classic climbing routes lead to the summit of Mont Blanc: [7][8]
First complete ascent on 18 July 1861 by L Stephen, F. Tuckett ith M. Anderegg, J.Bennen and P.Perren.[10]: 55
The route was first climbed on September 17, 1784 by Jean François and Marie Couttet Cuidet. [citation needed]
Starting from Chamonix, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi is taken towards the Aiguille du Midi, from where climbers descend a steep, exposed snow arete to the Col du Midi on the Vallee Blanche[citation needed], to reach the Cosmiques Hut (3,613 m) where they spend the night. Very early the next morning the ascent begins, firstly over the shoulder of Mont Blanc du Tacul (4,248 m) then over the shoulder of Mont Maudit (4,465 m) to reach the col de la Brenva, some 500 metres below Mont Blanc summit.[5] Time from Hut to sumit: 6.5-7hours). This popular route is less exposed to danger than the Gouter Route, although under certain conditions both Mont Blanc du Tacul and Mont Maudit can develop slopes with very high avalanche risk. The first ascent 13 August 1863 by Robert William Head with guides Julien Grange, A. Orset and J. Perrod.[10]
First complete ascent: 29 July 1859 E.Headland, G.Hodgkinson, C.Hodson and G. Joad with F. Couttet and two other guides.Cite error: A<ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).: 199 [11]: 21
The Mont Blanc Massif averages nearly 100 fatalities a year. A published estimate suggests there have been 6,000-8,000 alpinist fatalities in total, more than on any other mountain.[12]: 208
