editI am about to put Hensley Henson up for FAC, but as I have my right arm in plaster after an operation last week I am waiting till I have the use of both hands again. Meanwhile, if you have time and inclination to look in - now or when I get to FAC - it will be esteemed a favour. Tim riley talk 19:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nice to hear from you. Here's wishing you a quick recovery from your arm surgery.
- As for Henson, the biography of anyone who is buried in the cathedral in which Creighton attended Sunday service as a boy should be of interest to me. I have been away from WP for nearly a year, so it may take me a few days to ramp up, get the old neurons sparking, but I will get there. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 01:13, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
