Uncle Jack?
@115.87.78.134: Thanks for your recent contribution to this article:
- "Blandville Court on Victoria Rd. was named after my Uncle, Jack Bland who was Mayor, although I do not remember the area he was Mayor, I am not sure my family on the Bland side was related to the Bland mention in the post. As far as I can remember, they were farmers in Wagga Wagga."
I've removed it from the article, because it more properly belongs here on the discussion page. Do you have any more information about this? Are you saying that Blandville Court isn't named after William Bland? Do you have a reference for this? Sam Wilson 06:10, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
Denmark Hill
I can find no vessel named Denmark Hill prior to 1814, and she didn't get to London from Halifax, Nova Scotia until August 1814. I have looked in Lloyd's Register, the Register of Shipping, Lloyd's List, and the newspapers on Trove. Bateson also doesn't show any convict transport delivering convicts to Van Diemen's Land in 1814. Acad Ronin (talk) 01:42, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Atmotic airship into William Bland
There doesn't seem to be any coverage of this topic outside the context of biographies of William Bland, ergo it is not independently notable. signed, Rosguill talk 17:45, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose It is an early age airship, and has historical value, also named at 19th century history at the Airship article. It’s also described in other airship articles, see for instance here and there are more such historic overviews of airships. See also this source by the National Library of Australia. 109.37.146.241 (talk) 18:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks 109.37.146.241 for moving my draft article into mainspace - the draft definitely wasn't complete from my perspective but maybe this will spur me into finishing it off. There's definitely enough coverage outside of biographies on Bland to justify a standalone article - the Atmotic Ship is mentioned in a number of aviation-related journals and books, although I hadn't gotten around to incorporating those into the article. User:Rosguill not sure if you'd be able to help with a history merge of Draft:Atmotic Ship? ITBF (talk) 05:25, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
