Jim... if the Ernest Townsend article grew by about 1000 characters or 300 words in the next 48 hours or so then it could go on the main page. I have added a few refs to assist. Are you OK with the help? Have you thought about adding your name here? Victuallers (talk) 19:13, 15 February 2011 (UTC) Victuallers.. Will do some more work later today. The help is much appreciated. User:JimWT[reply]

Great - we will have some issues with the picture as I think its still copyright as 1944+70 years = 2014. i.e. its three years till his picture come out of copyright, but we can include a "fair use" picture anyway. Victuallers (talk) 21:04, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source for the text you are writing? Articles on the front page need to have references. We may also need to remove speculative sentences as we need to ensure there are no original opinions. (e.g. bit about TV ruining life) Its not that we disagree about this, its about ensuring its encyclopaedic? This article is looking good! I have some pictures of his paintings. I am talking to Derby Museums .... may be I can get their permission to use the images. Victuallers (talk) 20:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
