To Dormskirk: I see that you have spent a lot of effort improving this article and it is good work. However, the introduction paragraph has two sentences which are word for word copies of sentences from the text. The intro generally sums up the article. Could you rewrite the intro so that it is not a direct copy of part of the narrative? I won't tell you what to write but Lucan's political compromise regarding the Jews is also another topic important enough to be included in the intro and so is the fact that he became a field marshal.

New file File:George Charles Bingham, 3rd Earl of Lucan by Sir Francis Grant.jpg

Recently the file File:George Charles Bingham, 3rd Earl of Lucan by Sir Francis Grant.jpg (right) was uploaded and it appears to be relevant to this article and not currently used by it. If you're interested and think it would be a useful addition, please feel free to include it. Dcoetzee 10:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm restoring this comment, deleted by Nunquam Dormio (talk · contribs).
(1) It is extremely bad form to remove other people's comments on talk pages for whatever reason.
(2) The image in question is hosted on Commons. What matters for Wikipedia is U.S. law, in particular the precedent of Bridgeman vs Corel, whatever claims the N.P.G. might make under UK law. Furthermore, the Wikimedia Foundation has taken the view that images covered by Bridgeman vs Corel should be made available on Commons, because in its view this ought to be the law worldwide. If you disagree with the Foundation, take it up with them.
In the meantime we follow what the Foundation says. If the Foundation says it's usable, then we feel free to use it. Jheald (talk) 09:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

To Dormskirk: I see that you have spent a lot of effort improving this article and it is good work. However, the introduction paragraph has two sentences which are word for word copies of sentences from the text. The intro generally sums up the article. Could you rewrite the intro so that it is not a direct copy of part of the narrative? I won't tell you what to write but Lucan's political compromise regarding the Jews is also another topic important enough to be included in the intro and so is the fact that he became a field marshal. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 01:56, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I hope this is OK now. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 01:14, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
