Working on full biography for Spencer Compton, 1st Earl of Wilmington

Hi Primeminguy! Your asked/wrote on Talk:Spencer Compton, 1st Earl of Wilmington Is there any extra information to write a biography accurately. I’m desperate to write a full biography for him.

I recommend looking at the following WP:WikiProject Biography work groups, projects & related Manual of Style & WikiProject pages.

• WP:Manual of Style/Biography
• WP:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility; see also WP:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)
• WP:WikiProject Peerage and Baronetage
• WP:WikiProject Biography/Politics and government
• WP:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom/Politicians

I hope this is helpful to you. Peaceray (talk) 14:37, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Also, I would look at the Identifiers values that appear way down on the wikidata:Q270415 item for Spencer Compton. You can find books listed at www.worldcat.org/search?q=su%3ASpencer+Compton%2C+Earl+of+Wilmington. Anything pre-1928 is likely to have been digitized & available online.

Hi again Primeminguy. I wanted to move discussion here, as your questions pertain to your role as a new editor, rather than mine.

• You can get my attention by using the {{ping}} template, asin {{ping|Peaceray}}. This talk page is also on my watch list for the next twelve weeks or so.
• I recommend that you watch this Australian Wikipedia Editing Tutorial playlist on YouTube. While it is somewhat focused on women biographies & enabling women editors, what it has to teach well applies to editing Wikipedia.
• You asked: could you help me with information then because I’m trying to fill the biography on Wikipedia for all English prime ministers and I’m having difficulty. any help would be much appreciated, I am unsure exactly what help you need, but if you run into a situation & can state the problem & ping me, I am sure that I can be of assistance as my time permits. You can also post the {{helpme}} template followed by your question or problem.
• I recommend that you have a look at Category:Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. You may want to add many of the pages listed there to your watch list so that you can see what changes editors are making.
