Dear Nedrutland,

regarding your undo of my amendment to Biggles page regarding flight training. Seething is not a fictional place. It is in fact a Norfolk village and aerodrome South East of Norwich. The aerodrome was base for Liberator Bombers of the USAF 448th Bomber Group of US 2nd Air Division, a museum still exists in their memory, see www.seething-airfield.com/history.php.

My alteration to Seething linked to the village page on Wikipedia, the previous link to 'Settling' linked to a chemical reaction(??)

Regards,

Nick Sims —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.137.152.21 (talk) 10:32, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Nick,

When I undid your revision my note was "Fictional place I believe (- unless you can cite))" by which I meant Settling (like Frensham, Lincs) was a fictional base. I accept Seething is not fictional but I understand the Biggles books (which I do not have) refer to a training school at Settling. If you can cite a source that he trained at Seething, please supply a reference. As far as I can see, Seething airbase only opened in WW2.

I agree that Settling should not be wikilinked.

Ned de Rotelande 11:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I have now found the reference: "It was an aerodrome, or, to be more precise, the aerodrome of No. 17 Flying Training School, which was situated near the village of Settling, in Norfolk." ^[1]

Ross never went to Nevill Holt - I know, I was there. He was brought there by a friend at Uppingham on a Sunday afternoon. Also, nothing in the referenced article backs up the assertion he was a pupil. Question therefore is - why the undo of the change? 85.210.109.127 (talk) 18:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

The change was not undone. Ned de Rotelande 07:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I rather liked the (admittedly peripheral) reference to "The film starred Rutger Hauer as John Thornton and was narrated by Richard Dreyfuss." They did a wonderful performance (I know this isn't an Oscar nomination, and I think it deserves mention. But I'm not ready to edit war or change this to the point of insistence. Think about it. Otherwise, your edits were very helpful. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 18:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC) Stan

Hi. I did quite a bit of editing on the Lady Frieda Harris page, seemed to be full of editorializing and need for clarity. Checked many of your edits, and they seemed very good and helped the page when it was in even worse shape. If you could spare a few minutes would you look at my edits and see if I went too far or not far enough in the areas I worked on. Harris is such a major figure, and to give her the best and most accurate page possible seems appropriate. Thanks, Aleister Wilson (talk) 00:31, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Since it seems you are the only editor insisting in keeping the paragraph in the article can you produce an ordinary citation on that in the text in order to prove the existence of such a speculation. Thanks, --Factuarius (talk) 20:38, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

You replaced Cattell on his article as a councillor rather than a Lord Major. The cite given sates Lord Mayor, he is also listed under the Lord Mayor of Sheffield article as Lord Mayor of Sheffield in 1917. Do you have any evidence to challenge these entries? FruitMonkey (talk) 16:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

I did not alter Cattell to councillor rather than Lord Major - I added the category Councillors in Sheffield to the existing category of Lord Mayors of Sheffield. You do not become a mayor of a borough out of nowhere. Ned de Rotelande 07:55, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Ned, just noticed your addition of first names to Rutland and Melton (UK Parliament constituency). I would love to be doing this as a matter of course but my reliable source (Politics Resources) has only initials. Do you have a source I could be using? As it is I'm keeping first names for people with links, but losing I'm first names if I regenerate the election entry for someone WP hasn't heard of, as I've no source. Quite happy to redo these if there is a reliable way of doing so. Thanks. Crooked cottage (talk) 23:37, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Ferenc Békássy at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! --BomBom (talk) 10:31, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

On 25 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ferenc Békássy, which you created or substantially expanded.

Thanks for this superb new stub. But please explain: what had the Rector of Stiffkey done to make Hamond so angry? The Straits Times article cited seems to be too politely restrained to go into detail on this. Thanks, Gurt Posh (talk) 10:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

One suggestion is "Davidson's fall from grace began when he tactlessly demanded that an influential parishioner, Major Philip Hamond, must buy the land around the grave of his first wife if he wanted to tend it." "Defrocked rector was 'unfairly vilified'" Guardian, 18 September 2004 (His first wife had died 1926)

In 1930, Davidson missed the Remembrance Day service. Hamond, who had disliked Davidson since he refused to allow him to be churchwarden in 1919 and had had several further altercations with him since, was 'incandescent with rage' and accused Davidson of insulting the war dead.

One could imagine that a ex-army officer would not take to a theatrical, flamboyant leftie! Ned de Rotelande 11:06, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Newspaper reports only seem to support "only Anglican church" (that qualifier "Anglican" may be implicit in the church's website). I've suggested an alternative DYK hook, which may also clarify the importance of timber. -- 202.124.73.243 (talk) 10:06, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

On 13 September 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Church of St Michael and All Angels, Christchurch, which you created or substantially expanded.

The article Rupert Matthews (politician) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Because it was from a numerical IP, was a wholesale replacement, it appeared a cut & paste job, lacked references, did not comply with Wikipedia manual of style and was tagged "references removed".

I then saw the article was in need of improvement and started work on it. Why don't you sign in, Charles, and join the work? Ned de Rotelande 09:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the reference on Holloway, however, I cannot see him listed. Can you explain the need for it? -- Cassianto^Talk 11:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Now clarified by adding the page numbers. It reads; "The undermentioned to be Second Lieutenants (on probation). Dated the 9th December, 1915:— .... Stanley Augustus Holloway, Connaught Rangers."

As to the need:

• Primary source preferred to secondary,
• more precise, and
• I suspect contradicts the previous text; "immediately" when apparently 12+ months later

(The biography was probably written with more interest in show business than military history) Nedrutland (talk)

I'm very sorry, but I still cannot see SH listed on the attached PDF. -- Cassianto^Talk 16:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

The relevant info is on consecutive pages: 12296 AND 12297 His name is on the second. Nedrutland (talk)

OK thanks. I would remove the one that is currently on there in that case as he is not listed. I would put the second page on there instead. Failing that, add the second one as well if you can. All the best! -- Cassianto^Talk 21:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

On 22 September 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John Angel (sculptor), which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi Ned, I'm interested in why you revert edits that place it in Lincolnshire when the website of the house itself states that it's in Lincolshire. Do you have a WP:RS that places it in Cambs? Regards, Ericoides (talk) 10:46, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

You misinterpret the House's website. The website pages gives a postal address as Stamford, Lincolnshire i.e. the post town is in Lincolnshire but the house itself is not.

The house is in the area traditionally known as the Soke of Peterborough which has been shunted around different admin arrangements over the years (but never with Lincs). Currently it is the unitary authority of Peterborough which remains for ceremonial purposes in Cambridgeshire. Nedrutland (talk)

Thanks, very interesting. Was it ever in Northants? Ericoides (talk) 11:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes; see Soke of Peterborough. Historically the Lincs boundary with Northants/the Soke was the River Welland. Nedrutland (talk)

Hello, I'm Faizan. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions to History of the Jews in Pakistan because it didn't appear constructive, instead of refering to British India, a better statement reffering to the present day Pakistan can be used. Do discuss it first, then revert any of the edits, again! Do not revert! We can discuss it, the Article is about Pakistan, not about British India. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Faizan (talk) 13:33, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes I think you have made a mistake. :-)

The article is about Pakistan, but the preceding sentence refers to numbers at "the beginning of the twentieth century" so I correctly refered to "those parts of British India that became Pakistan" as the country of Pakistan did not exist then (nor, I believe, was even contemplated?).

Hello, I'm LatinWolf (talk). I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions to Norval Marley because it didn't appear constructive. Multiple articles, along with surname etymologies, state that Marley comes from Sussex, England. If you feel like this is wrong, please provide a source stating otherwise and discuss it on the talk page. Until then, do not revert any further edits as you have been doing. LatinWolf (talk) 10:29, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

I did undo one of your edits because it did not seem constructive; you removed a request for citation without providing any citation. You now claim there are "multiple sources" for Sussex; if so you will have no difficulty supplying one reliable citation. Please do not remove requests for citation in future. Nedrutland (talk) 10:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Albert Thomas Marley was English but where was he from?

Registrations of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales are indexed on line at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ For the 50 year period from 1837, when the indexing begins, to 1887 (after the approx birth date of Norval), in the County of Sussex there is not one birth of anyone with both the surname Marley and the first name Albert. Now possibly this is because his forenames have been transposed; in 1861, a Thomas Albert Marley was born in the district of Rye.

However in 1851 an Albert Thomas Marley was born in the district of Billericay, Essex and significantly, a Norval Richard Marley was born in Essex in 1847. Albert Thomas appears in Essex in the Censuses of 1861 and 1871 but not 1881.

A website gives further details, including Albert Thomas Marley, b. South Weald, Brentwood, Essex, England, 29 Oct. 1851, d. Colon, Panama, 1 Feb. 1885.

So, it seems that Norval's father was from Essex while his paternal grandparents were born in Rye, Sussex.

Hello. Without admitting anything, I may happen to know that DBaK has stormed off in a huff after getting thoroughly fed up with this place and is unwilling to participate in anything much at the moment. However I am sure that he or she would be distressed that you'd taken the trouble to leave them a note which might go unanswered for a while. I conjecture that if he or she had seen your note and did reply, they might well have said something like:

1. Thank you very much for the note.
2. Well done with the N&A thing - obviously daft in its previous form; much better taken out as it has no useful refs; if someone wants it back in then I'm sure they can find a ref. :) (ahem, to A not N!)
3. It's interesting to note the story of how that came about, thank you.
4. Yes, Attlee was often known as The Major so it is significant. DBaK may have been right with his/her view that a direct mention of Clem was useful ... or maybe not. it is, after all, only one click away. "Major Clement Attlee" might read slightly oddly - so on reflection you could just leave it! Storm in teacup. :)
5. DYK: I understand that DBaK doesn't know anything about this process - sorry. But he or she might well wish you luck with it anyway, out of a general fuzzy goodwill sort of thing. :)

Just in case you get pulled-up over this, I did present a query on which is best at WikiProject Architecture and was advised that "Grade" is the way to go.

This is a note to let the main editors of Harold Davidson know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 28, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 28, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Harold Davidson (1875–1937), rector of the Norfolk parish of Stiffkey (church pictured), was a Church of England priest who was convicted in 1932 on charges of immorality and defrocked by the Church. Ordained in 1903, he worked among London's poor and homeless. Styling himself the "Prostitute's Padre", his declared mission was to rescue young girls he considered in danger of falling into prostitution. In this role he approached and befriended hundreds of women, and although there was little evidence of improper behaviour, he was often found in compromising situations and his neglect of his parish and family caused difficulties. A formal complaint led to church disciplinary proceedings, in which his defence was damaged beyond repair by a photograph of him with a near-naked teenage girl. Davidson then pursued a career as a showman to raise funds for his reinstatement campaign, performing novelty acts such as exhibiting himself in a barrel on the Blackpool seafront. He died after being attacked by a lion in whose cage he was appearing. Later commentators have accepted that however inappropriate his behaviour, his motives were genuine and he did not deserve the humiliations he endured. (Full article...)

Can I ask why you've indicated that The National Liberal Party are a far right party?

If you check with the electoral commission I have requested a name change and a change of personnel. I have NEVER been a member of The Third Way and was not instrumental in any way in it's formation, it's function or it's ethos. I want a fairer society of people of all colours, religions and sexualities who are proud to be British and live by British laws and whilst actively campaigning against racists groups including the EDL and the BNP, I encouraging people from all walks of national origins to join the party and stand for us. Our membership and support reflects this. The policy document is available on the site and I'd love to hear how it is 'far right'.

Please discontinue any and all edits of the Third Way page.

Confirmation has been received from both Party leadership, and Third Way delegates, for the version imposed.

If you do not agree with the changes, then follow procedure by contacting the leadership of the National Liberty Party and the Third Way board; until such time as this is done, and the Party agrees to you changes, I will continue to revert any and all changes to the article that you make.

The materials contained within the article on my side are those from the direct membership and leaders of what was then the Third Way committee.

Your constant editing of this page is becoming incredibly tedious, and I do assure you that I will continue to undo such until you give up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.42.31 (talk) 02:08, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Maybe we were seeing different things on different browsers. My removal of half a pair of brackets was certainly wrong, but your restoration of it to what appeared to be the wrong place didn't seem right either ... or at least not as I am seeing it! For reference, what I saw after your undo was an isolated right parenthesis on its own line between the "Earthquakes" header and its first line of text, "The Canterbury region has experienced many earthquakes etc etc". What I am now seeing is that the photo caption ends "(note the round rose window)" with the right parenthesis moved to the correct place. Is that what you are seeing also? Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 14:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

True. I read the biography a while back & that of course was written before the wartime files became available: there wasn't much of substance. Rather a tragic story, I think: when he started working for the Japanese Britain was giving them loads of assistance. I'll have a dig about & see if I have anything on his First World War career. I'm surprised that nobody had written this article already.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Alfred East: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Also helps to block problem users quicker. Meteor sandwich yum (talk) 09:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Greetings Nedrutland. Thanks for your note (from last January). I've only just seen it (because you left it on my userpage, not on my talk page) and have acted accordingly. I don't recall the exact reason for having changed the spelling..., but there must have been one (I can't access the references right now due to an IT hitch to check, so I'll take your word for it) because I wouldn't normally modify a diaeresis without good cause.

Greetings again. Thanks for your note. I'll go through the article again in a while (got to dash right now) to correct the camelCase you mention. Again, I'm sure that the original reason for me modifying 'em all must have been a good one, but faced with the evidence, I have no choice but to revert to the default.

In fact the story is true, Lawrence did do brass rubbings as a teenager (?!?!?); maybe that only seems weird from a 21st-century perspective. Marking it as uncited would be perfectly OK though. Tim Bray (talk) 07:38, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Sorry if I am missing the point but I thought NR had removed it because it was a duplicate? It's near the start of the archaeology section, and I would not have thought it needed two mentions. As for it being weird, I dunno - if you google "brass rubbing" you find plenty of current refs to it. It's just that often now churches don't permit original brasses to be rubbed, hence the appearance of centres with reproductions. And it's the 21st century and I am (more or less) alive ... :) cheers DBaK (talk) 09:47, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

DBaK's interpretation of my motives is correct - I removed the sentence because it was covered more fully in the following section - and with a reference - and not from any prejudice against the interest. (As a small boy, I visited many a church with an older sibling who did do brass-rubbing). Nedrutland (talk) 13:25, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear Sir, I understand your correction, but the problem is that in the text a little bit higher is written: Rockcliffe (as on: www.streetmap.co.uk). Why is it than here: Rocliffe? Perhaps because that is how it is done in the Morning Post? See :reference (original) Romeinsekeizer (talk) 14:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

While the spelling has now standardised as Rockliffe, the 1877 quotation from the Morning Post has "Rocliffe Hall"; as the quotation marks in the reference should have made clear. Nedrutland (talk) 14:49, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you again. I thought it was possibly a wrong spelling typing that word. Nevertheless on the Streetmap is written: Rockcliffe and not Rockliffe.

Thank you for your swift reaction. About the reference: I already supposed that number 17 could be all right. Recently I could not find it, meaning the paper.

Dear Ned, you are doubtless correct to challenge this epithet. My only defence for using it is that that is how V Wing himself described Atwell in the title page of the Defence of Astrologie, supposedly written in 1658 and edited in 1660 (a date I have only just corrected from the inherited mistake saying 1668). Here's the 1660 wording: "Written by the Learned and Ingenious Mathematician, Mr. GEORGE ATWEL, late Professor of the Mathematicks in the University of Cambridg; and now published by a Friend, for the publike benefit of his native Countrymen of England. VVhose Preface is hereunto annexed." This is linked to in my footnote giving the title of the Defence. It does appear to be saying that Atwell is a Prof in the University, though 'Professor' might only mean teacher in this case perhaps. You are ahead of me and I must keep up! I suppose Venn's Alumni is the next stop? Thanks for your continuing vigilance, as I am prone to such casual infelicities. Yrs Eebahgum (talk) 11:49, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. If he had been a professor I thought he should have a mention at least elsewhere on Wikipedia but couldn't find one. I did then look at Venn which only offers "Atwell, George. 'Cantab. de studio et praxi mathematicis non ignobilis': died Sept. 14, 1658, aged 82. M.I. at N. Runcton, Norfolk. Should have matriculated c. 1593-5. (Le Neve, Mon. v. 48.)". Nedrutland (talk) 11:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm, I've noticed there's a bit of a problem. I've been going over the sources for the statement that ip has tried to remove twice. Dinenage's site has been revamped, so the supporting information vanished. Normally, I'd just switch out to the archive url, but that's mangled. Annoyingly , I saw the information was there myself. and suspiciously Dinenage's site removed that page almost immediately after a HoC IP address tried to remove it from the article.

It looks to my eyes like someone is very keen to rewrite history, but as it stands we don't have a source for the claim the ip is trying to remove right now. Any ideas on how to proceed? Dolescum (talk) 01:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Whether it is correct is for others to judge but my intention was to link to Richard Wesley, 1st Baron Mornington, (who was born Richard Colley); my reasoning being that the spelling of the family's name varied between Cowley and Colley and placing Richard Colley there might be helpful for someone looking for Richard Cowley.

Ned,

Hi, I have a question, and I am a relative newbie by the way. On Thankful Villages you changed the citation that I put in, from the i newspaper (by which I had meant the printed paper - not sure if that was clear ... should have given page no), to be a hyperlink to a web page of the same material (and with same date) at that newspaper's website. Now suppose that link went dead at some point, this would then be a no-good citation whereas my original citation from the printed paper would have still been good. So I ask whether the link citation is really better than the printed paper citation? Or maybe you assumed it was a just poorly written reference to the website? I realise links are handy for people... maybe there's some way it can show both ? Thanks Malevan (talk) 21:53, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Malevan, I expanded the citation on Thankful Villages so that for the few that had access to a hard copy of that edition of the newspaper they could still find it but for the rather larger number who had access online they could find it instantly. And while some links do go dead, web archiving generally means the info is recoverable.

There is a lengthy article here - Wikipedia:Citing sources with links to further pages (such as Wikipedia:Inline citation)- which will answer more questions than you can conceive. Nedrutland (talk) 07:34, 21 July 2016 (UTC) OK, thanks Malevan (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

(The article is still full of overbearing POV claims and personal attacks) As I will probably not be available the next couple of days to look after these edits, could you take over this (small) duty? The article is still a real mess, but let's defend these small changes, at least for the moment!

With kind regards and have a good time --37.230.13.250 (talk) 02:09, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Nedrutland,

The blue link which you have inserted into the above named article about Right to Manage for tenants of Kensington and Chelsea council leads to an article about Right to Manage for owners of Commonholds and Leaseholds. A better link would be to Tenant management organisation.

Right to Manage for Tenants comes under "The Housing (Right to Manage) Regulations 1994" which does not have a Wikipedia article associated with it.

Right to Manage for Homeowners comes under the "Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002".

I have changed the link to Tenant management organisation.

I hope you approve.

Best regards.

Rysun

I approve of your change. Thank you for the explanation. Nedrutland (talk) 06:51, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I left a comment on the Budapest Marathon talk page. I know that previously there was a claim that the Csepel marathon was the predecessor of the Budapest marathon, but I couldn't find any evidence of that. I live in Budapest and know many runners, and I also never heard anyone mention that it existed. The Budapest marathon from 1984 was the first "mass" marathon in the city, even if something existed before it, it must've been an elite competition for 20-50 people.

If you're also not sure, then I suggest we remove that paragraph from the page. Also, remove the results prior to 1984, since those seem to be from national championships (again, of elite athletes) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gcsaba2 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Nedrutland. Regarding the second citation you requested on the above article. If you look at the difference between these revisions, you added the death date of Light's father yourself, so you must have the citation yourself? Best regards, --Kieronoldham (talk) 01:18, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Wanted to talk to you about editing his page. it claims his party involvement includes the Alt-Right. which is false. he has repeatedly denied this and does not make any sense it still says he is. curious as to why its still up. your guidelines specifically say opinions are not published but labeling Milo as alt-right is an out right lie and an opinion of someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.98.2 (talk) 22:42, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Because reliable sources have said Yiannopoulos is associated with the Alt-Right; see Talk:Milo Yiannopoulos. The lede does note that he rejects this label. Nedrutland (talk) 23:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Nedrutland. Good job with the above article. I just have one question. At the moment, the article reads that Wright was employed in a role "at Bates' St Mary's Mill".

Hello Nedrutland

I have removed claims I found on the Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven page that postulate that she is the true author of Marcel Duchamp's famous ready-made, Fountain (Duchamp) (1917) due to their WP:NOR original research. These claims, according to the foremost Duchampian expert in New York, Francis Naumann, are untrue and unproven. Should not the unverified claims be removed rather than added to by contesting them on the page? I think so, so I reversed your reversal, but please give me your input. Thank you.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 193.61.14.20 (talk) 12:35, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

I have posted on Talk:Soke of Peterborough with (further) citations in support of a version of the long-settled content. I note that you have not gone to Talk to argue why it should be removed. Nedrutland (talk) 18:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Please see MOS:JOBTITLES and MOS:HONORIFICS. A title like duke is not capitalized on Wikipedia except when:

1. Directly attached to a name in conventional form ("Queen Elizabeth II", "President Trump", "John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster");
2. Used as a stand-in for the entire name ("The Queen will speak with the Supreme Leader via teleconference", in reference to Elizabeth II and and Kim Jong-un in particular); or
3. Being the subject under discussion itself, in a words-as-words manner ("Christopher Guest is now entitled to the style The Right Honourable The Lord Haden-Guest).

They're not capitalized in constructions like "a duke of Northumberland", "the baron died in the battle", "some Ottoman emirs"; "three popes in a row died under suspicious circumstances", "how many emperors the Roman Empire had depends on your definitions of both emperor and Roman Empire"; those are all common-noun usage.

Thus, "Trump is the most controversial American president"; "a 14th-century duke of Lancaster, John of Gaunt". Many articles have this wrong and are rampantly capitalizing every title, style, even commercial job title, at every occurrence. They're slowly being cleaned up; the confusion resulted from conflicting language in multiple guidelines which was resolved with the MOS:BIO revision and merger earlier this year.

Your correction of "ended by the Duke of Devonshire" to use "Duke" not "duke" was correct per point 2. That was a silly error on my part.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  14:19, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Please do not remove boldfacing of terms that are redirects to the article. They're bold because they are, so readers can find what they're looking for and will understand why they're at an article the title of which is different from what they probably expected.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  02:39, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

That "Tutbury bull-running" in the search box would direct there was not obvious and is probably not appropriate. This page, as the title suggests, is specifically about the Stamford bull run. Better to give adequate coverage of Tutbury bull-running on Tutbury (where is no mention of the bull run) or on the generic Bull running. (Possibly MOS:BOLD#OTHER was more fitting than MOS:BOLDSYN) Nedrutland (talk) 06:59, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, but in the interim MOS:BOLDSYN still applies. I'm not sure whether Tutbury or Bull running is the better merge target. It's covered a bit at the latter; I've not looked in detail at Tutbury yet.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:25, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

I saw from the edit history that you have worked on the article about Gilad Atzmon. I'm not going to edit anything because it is a protected article, so I will ask you to repair the dead links in the article and find reliable sources to replace them. Thanks.

Hi Nedrutland,

I noted your revert. Please be aware that these buildings have been matched on the image page through their identifier. I'm very glad that you caught the mistake, but a revert alone won't cut it, I'm afraid. If you find another of those mismatches in the future of semi-automated edits, please take a look at the image file, and remove the wrong identifiers from the image description. I did it in this case like here. Especially the category and the identifier are important to remove, to avoid future adding of the same file. Unfortunately the tool is unable to detect reverts like yours.

I hope next time you'll be able to help address the root of the problem, and that way we'll manage to avoid some frustrations :) Thanks for your checking! effeietsanders 19:49, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, do you think it is possible to find some citation for the relationship between St Hugh's School, Woodhall Spa and Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln? There are other St Hugh's, and this is a very controversial association to make. I can see that the 'wall and ball' logo might well relate to this, but nevertheless it is very peculiar and personally I would like to know of some firm documentation, early documents from the school's founders or founding for instance. Jim Killock (talk) 13:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey, I see you reverted the Alice Emma addition. Where on earth did that come from? I visited his grave as part of my research for the article (need to dig out and upload the photo...) so I can confirm that Eliza Sophia Ann is the name of his wife who is buried with him. I keep meaning to add more content to the article when I have time–my understanding is that his printing business interests played a role in Watford becoming a centre of printing in the long run. Blythwood (talk) 20:58, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

@Blythwood: In the Probate notice (https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=jones&yearOfDeath=1942&page=26#calendar ) Alice Emma Jones was mentioned, so I presumed that was the name of the spouse; I then noticed she was described as 'spinster" so realised the executor was his daughter, not his wife.

I see that you reverted my change to the article on the above vessel. It was a very minor change but I believe that it was grammatically necessary. I do understand the convention that ships are called "she" and not it, but "She … that... " does not read very well. You could say something like "She was on the first leg of this voyage when her passengers..." , but my change seemed simpler - and correct. TriodeFollower (talk) 18:45, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello Nedrutland Nedrutland Thanks for great improvements on Nobody’s Friends page. You have shown me how to do better links in future. Great to see someone else taking an interest in developing this article. Despite being a prestigious and powerful club with long history – it had no wiki page until late last year. Perhaps not surprising that its own membership hasn't sought to create a wiki article - it is an organisation which prefers to remain rather secretive.

One question: can you let me know why you removed links to Queen Anne’s Bounty, Church of England, Hackney Phalanx, The Athenaeum in See Also? I’m trying to improve as an editor and it would be helpful to see your rationale. Is it because these things were already mentioned in the article? I’ve never been quite sure how to use the See Also section.

I know more about the Club than is present in the article. For example, how many members it now has and that women are definitely included in membership (don’t know the date when this decision was made). I managed to get some titbits of information from their current Treasurer/Secretary who is one of the senior legal officers in the Church of England. He is not publicly listed anywhere as the treasurer, but I found out from asking Communications at Lambeth Palace. And there are no citations for any information I’ve been given. I’m also aware of a Private Eye article which focussed on the Club – I know as I helped the journalist. But I can’t use that as a citation as PE is subscription only and does not post articles online. One odd piece of information … for most of the Club’s history, members apparently called all the servants by the same name (I think it was James), but presumably this has changed in recent times. Whether this reflected the culture and practice of other Victorian dining clubs and social organisations at the time – I don’t know. Hopefully more news and article references may become available in time. Nobody's has managed to stay under the radar as a forum of some influence. Once again, thanks for your improvements.Joelionheart (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Joe,

Thanks for your comments.

'See also': Yes, it was because those links were already mentioned in the article; "As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body ... " See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#"See_also"_section

I have met elsewhere a succession of holders of a post (maids etc.) all being addressed by the same name by an employer. Nedrutland (talk) 17:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

hi Nedrutland Nedrutland, Thanks for your reply. Helpful confirmation on the "See Also" query. I've probably made same mistake on several other pages.

Unfortunately I can't find a link-able reference to Nobody's servants being called 'James'. Thanks btw, for getting rid of all those "then"s on the Allchurches Trust page - they were stylistically awkward and unnecessary. Good to see that page develop also - with eye of an observant editor.

According to ^[1] St. James Church, Hampstead Road "served a separate ecclesiastical parish [...] from 1793". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:39, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

I based my edits initially on this quotation "Flinders died at 14 London Street, Fitzroy Square, and was buried in the graveyard of St. James's, Hampstead Road, which was a burial ground for St. James's, Piccadilly." from The Life of Captain Matthew Flinders, R.N. by Ernest Scott (Chapter 27).

When St. James's, Hampstead Road became a parish church is contradicted by other sources, among them:

• "St. James, Hampstead Road [1791, cemetery chapel for St.James Piccadilly's "new" cemetery, parish church 1864]"^[2]
• "After the closure of the burial ground it was sold in 1871 to the Saint Pancras Church Trustees to become the parish church of the new ecclesiastical district of Saint James."^[3] Nedrutland (talk) 12:56, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your work @ Belvoir Street Chapel and Central Baptist Church (Leicester). Wonder if you might have any insight into question at Talk:List of Baptist churches in Leicester#Clarendon Park Baptist Church about Clarendon Park Road religious buildings, of which there are many. Specifically: Could it be that Clarendon Hall/Clarendon Park Baptist Church (1892/1894-1992) and the Guru Amar Das Gurdwara (1992) @ 219-227 Clarendon Park Road are one & same building? The dates jibe and sources seem to suggest it. (Not to be confused with Christchurch Clarendon Park @ 105A Clarendon Park Road or Clarendon Park Congregational Church). Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your work on JH, and I'll always remember your help with Lionel. EEng 18:36, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Repeating the above now, even more forcefully. Let me say, however, that we need to take great care in the selection of sources. What was "known" about JH until the late 19th c was extremely patchy and often completely wrong. In the late 1800s serious work began, starting with good genealogical work back in England to reconstruct the family history, and anything that can be relied on about JH will be in found in works from about 1880 or 1890 forward; anything before that is suspect e.g. Savage 1860. I'm afraid I don't have time right now to list the solidly reliable scholarly sources but if you ping me once in a while I'll get to it. This isn't to say you shouldn't keep doing exactly what you're doing, but be sure to cite everything carefully to the source you found it in so we can double-check later.

Hi Nedrutland, I've reverted your edit to Matthew Flinders - perhaps you should have read the article on Bungaree first, for his role in the expedition (Despite the lack of a common language, the indigenous people persistently sought Bungaree out to speak to instead of Flinders. And his mediation skills were greatly appreciated by the Europeans with whom he shared the ship.), as well as taking a look at this very recent article on James Cook - The forgotten story of Tupaia, the star navigator who helped James Cook reach Australia - which emphasises the similar dependence by Cook on the Polynesian navigator and negotiator who accompanied him. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 12:54, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bahudhara: I had seen the page on Bungaree and I still considered the mention of him in the lede to be undue. The lede is a summary of the content of the page and Bungaree is mentioned just once on Flinders page; the sentence reads "Here he was rejoined by Bungaree, the Aboriginal man who had accompanied him on his earlier coastal survey in 1799." Only three others are mentioned by name in the lede and there is more on those men and their significance. (Oh, and Tupaia is not mentioned in the lede of James Cook and his name appears twice on the rest of the page.) Nedrutland (talk) 14:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

Please can you explain why you reversed my deletion of the partial libel cost fundraising appeal. I did not understand the use of 'cited' as a justification. Thanks. Jontel (talk) 16:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

On 12 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the statue A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020 was inspired by a raised fist at a Black Lives Matter protest? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, A Surge of Power (Jen Reid) 2020), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

I noticed your recent edit to Gulmarg does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Because they are non-constructive and in no way encyclopaedic. Also, lack citation, employ mdy dates and are poorly written ("it's"). Nedrutland (talk) 12:35, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

On 9 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John James Hood Gordon, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John James Hood Gordon and his twin brother Thomas Edward were both generals in the British Army, and joined on the very same day? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John James Hood Gordon. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, John James Hood Gordon), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello. Sorry you had to deal with these edits. They were made by a very new user who I am trying to help along so they can make their desired changes themselves. Unfortunately the user seems to be suffering from some fundamental misunderstandings about basic editing that I've only just now started to narrow down...I think. I have so far failed miserably in helping them, and I hope I haven't made things worse. I'm trying my best. Hope you understand the situation. --DB1729 (talk) 05:02, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

I tried to edit the lede with emphasis on why her long-standing membership of the Communist Party is noteworthy, but you closed me down. As others have experienced before me. And now you wokes are trying to delete the page on Communist mass killings. And arguing over whether the deaths of 6 people at the Waukesha Christmas Parade was a "car crash" or an "incident" - echoing the Washington Post's coverage that the deaths were "caused by a SUV" that "drove" into the crowd. This is why Wikipedia is becoming a laughing stock. I've had enough. I'm out of here forever. 88.105.14.76 (talk) 20:33, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

I quake. Nedrutland (talk) 13:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

My revert was not aimed at your edit but the previous two by blocked editors. However, looking again, it's clear that I misread the dates that all three were made at the same time. So my apologies - speed read leads to hasty error! But please allow me to explain my thinking at the time, mistaken as I was. The way they were done made it very difficult to see what was happening, and the editing and moving of the sentences on academic study was especially worrying, i.e.:

OLD: Wallis has a doctorate in astrobiology from the University of Cardiff, supervised by Chandra Wickramasinghe and focusing on evidence for cometary panspermia. The degree was awarded in 2014, though Wickramasinghe had left the university in 2011.

NEW: In 2014, Wallis was awarded a doctorate in astrobiology from the University of Cardiff, focusing on evidence for cometary panspermia.

Why was the Private Eye reference to Wickramasinghe removed? PE throught this important (otherwise, why even mention it?) But the moving of this paragraph (in itself, not a problem) made seeing what happened in other paragraphs especially difficult to follow. That's why I reverted, in the hope that a clearer and plainer process would make it easy to see. I gave as a rationale "there appears to have been a good deal of whitewashing going on womewhere[sic]" and while that was a possibilty it seemed simpler just to revert the lot. I notice that there have been other edits since which make things clearer. Apologies again. Emeraude (talk) 13:59, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your response, @Emeraude:. I had looked at the page in the expectation of there being some lively editing on a day when the Daily Fail was reporting his interface with a post (later confirmed by a Reliable Source) and found the page a mess so started a process of tidying.

The name Wickramasinghe meant nothing to me but I would not expect a post-grad's supervisor to be considered generally worthy of mention, particularly when he was only there at the start of the course. And I did not suppose the Private Eye would be considered a Reliable Source for a BLP. Nedrutland (talk) 15:06, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

I'm pleased to say I didn't see that in the Mail, but it was in the BBC News website last night. I think Private Eye was questioning how someone who left three years previously could have supervised a thesis! And not just a postgrad thesis, but a doctoral dissertation, would normally be someone of more notability. The Eye is a RS. Unfortunately, it is impossible to easily access the archive. Emeraude (talk) 17:13, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Is Private Eye considered a RS - I do not see it discussed on the perennial sources pages? Nedrutland (talk) 18:15, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Meh. This time last year you were congratulating me on my good character, which was apparently unusual amongst admins. At the end of the day, if users engage in edit warring to crowbar poor-quality content into our articles, they get warned. This regardless of how many edits they've made, how many good articles they've written, or how far their trouser legs are rolled up. Nobody is kicking you out the door, but if you want to edit here you have to follow the same rules as everyone else. Girth Summit _(blether) 17:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Just a quick note: I noticed you recently changed the article on John Walvoord‎ to change the title of a referenced, living person: Stephen Sizer. This was a minor change of his title from "Vicar" to "Priest." However, I'm noticing in the linked references for Sizer he is a retired "Vicar." Is there another reason for keeping his title listed as "Priest" or should it be changed back (and on his WP page)? Thanks FCGreg (talk) 08:32, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Vicar, along with canon, rector, curate, chaplain et al. is just one of the many roles an Anglican priest may fill. Sizer is an ex-vicar, ex-rector and ex-curate but is still a priest. Nedrutland (talk) 08:34, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Because, @DasLiedVomTod:, as my edit summary indicated, the article is written in the form of English used in Britain; thus, it is wrong to claim that 'percent' was 'mispelled'. In UK English (and in Latin) 'percent' is not one word but two. Nedrutland (talk) 21:13, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Hallo, Please remember to add a source when adding someone's full name. I reverted your edit to Liz Jarvis because there was no source for "Elizabeth" and you might have just been assuming that she was given that name at birth, rather than "Elisabeth" or "Eliza" etc. I then found a WP:RS and replaced it. I see you've worked on a few other MPs' names: please add your source to those. Thanks. PamD 07:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I edited the infobox to have Peter O'Toole featured first on the list, but someone put it back at the queue, "per poster billing block".

Since when is the poster the only point of reference for the infobox? I mean, there is no mention of the cinematographer not the editor, or the running time on the poster, so should we remove them from the infobox?

Peter O'Toole is playing the title character, it looks silly to have him mentioned last. Hayden41 (talk) 19:41, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

'Someone' reverted your edits, @Hayden41:, because they ignored the note "Per poster billing block". This has been the long-settled format for this page Lawrence of Arabia (film) and other attempts to rewrite the order have been reverted. If you think the page would be improved by putting O'Toole first, I suggest you raise it on the Talk page first. Happy editing. Nedrutland (talk) 08:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

What source do you have that this was a divergence? - Denimadept (talk) 23:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

As you presumably have seen, I added two sources to Trinity Bridge, Crowland, copied from the River Welland page, after the initial edit of @Hairy Dude:. The Historic England citation includes these quotations:

"Triangular bridge, built in 1360-1390 by Benedictine brethren, over the tributaries of the River Nene and the River Welland"

"until the early 17th century the river Welland flowed through the village and divided into two channels under the bridge."

Also, on the Welland page you might read "During the reign of Henry III (1207–1272), complaints were made that of the two channels below Crowland, the one to Spalding was more favourable to the passage of barges, but the Abbot of Crowland had obstructed and narrowed its course by planting willow trees." I consider those to be fair evidence of divergence rather than convergence.

We now seem to be only one off a full house for Grade I listed buildings in Rutland, that one being Luffenham Hall. I see there is a South Luffenham Hall on the Grade II* list (and very pretty it is), and that Pevsner calls the Grade I North Luffenham Hall, for that is where it is. But Historic England favours Luffenham Hall. I suppose we should go with the "official" title, but wondered if you had any thoughts? KJP1 (talk) 06:43, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

In Rutland, it is known as North Luffenham Hall (the second of that name). The owner uses North Luffenham Hall as his address on Companies House. Nedrutland (talk)

Hello @Nedrutland, I have removed the portrait of a lady which is now thought to depict Elizabeth Seymour, Lady Cromwell c. 1535-40. The article cited does not support the claim that it depicts Frances Murfyn or that is a pendant to the possible likeness of her husband: the author argues that the lady is Thomas Cromwell's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Seymour and tentatively suggests that another portrait might depict Frances Murfyn or Mary Norris.

For more information: Portrait of a Lady, probably a Member of the Cromwell Family. Ammelida (talk) 05:35, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks so so much for putting in those missing names. A complete list from 1251 and names from earlier going back to 1209 yet nothing for the years 1879-1888 felt awkwardly incomplete. So thanks for making up the difference Me.Autem.Minui (talk) 19:35, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for improving the article. Just seeing if you can add a citation after "Her brother John Rolls became Baron Llangattock and a nephew Charles Stewart Rolls was co-founder of Rolls-Royce." SL93 (talk) 06:51, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Unsourced content does not belong on articles linked on the main page. You added the content, you add the sources. SL93 (talk) 17:51, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Why would it be my job to source what you add, easy or not? SL93 (talk) 18:56, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

I know what I added could be considered dubious ideas but I feel they were quite accurate to differing beliefs that weren’t being represented in the article, especially the statehood and Midlands part. These sources I consider to be quite reliable as they do represent people’s beliefs. That being said, I still will look for more reliable sources so don’t remove them. Also, I think getting rid of the informal region part didn’t make sense in my opinion but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. EthanJamesBell (talk) 07:17, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

How terribly kind of you! @EthanJamesBell: A reminder - Wikipedia:Assume good faith.

Look at Midlands; no county of East Anglia is part of it (even if you feel it ought to be).Nedrutland (talk) 07:31, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

The point of my part of the article wasn’t to say that any county East Anglia is officially part of The Midlands but more that it is sometimes considered as I have seen it considered Midlands by a bigger proportion of people, if that answer helps. Again, I get you’re trying to improve it and I support that. EthanJamesBell (talk) 07:36, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

The article Rupert Matthews (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Merchant Taylors' Boys' School, Crosby, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 06:53, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

On the issue of how exactly to phrase the removal of the Statue of Queen Anne, St Paul's Churchyard, the Gunnis dictionary is clearly of the opinion that the move was unjustified, or at the very least that Belt was arguing from self-interest when suggesting the statue be replaced. Maybe both.

Whatever the truth of all that, it is naturally a question to be addressed in the article about the statue. My feeling is that the Holmhurst article shouldn't mention the weathering (I'm sure the statue was weathered), because it shouldn't comment in any direct way on the justification for the removal.

I see you have just uploaded a picture of a building that formerly belonged to the above hunt, and thank you for that. Is that building, or part of it, the kennels designed by Edmund Jeeves? I do not have time to create an article about Jeeves at present, but I am trying to include brief information about him in his Commons category, to assist anyone who wants to create his WP article. So, if relevant, I would like to link the image to Jeeves, and explain why I have done so. Please reply on my talk page if possible, because I have a huge watchlist and don't want to miss anything. All the best. Storye book (talk) 08:41, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits on the above. Sorry about the typos, my eyes are not so good these days. But at least we now have an ID pic of him. Cheers. Storye book (talk) 20:29, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Now that you've found another couple (I'm embarrassed to have overlooked M. J. K. Smith), do you think it's worth creating Double international#List (for people not included in one of the existing lists) and/or Category:Double internationals? My feeling is both, but I'd welcome your ideas. Narky Blert (talk) 13:57, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

You appear to be engaged in an edit war at Monument to the Liberators of Soviet Latvia and Riga from the German Fascist Invaders. An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly revert each other's changes. Please do not revert or undo the edits made by other editors when your changes are reverted. Instead, use the talk page to discuss how the page can represent consensus among the editors involved. Here is some advice on how to do this. If discussions get stuck, you can request a third opinion, ask for help at a relevant noticeboard, or seek dispute resolution.

Edit warring can result in being blocked from editing, especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts within 24 hours on one page. Undoing any other editor's work, in whole or in part, involving the same or different material, is a revert. You can still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not violate the three-revert rule should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

@HotChickenParmesan: Ah - you have learnt how to copy-and-paste; well done! Now, as previously suggested, take your argument to the Talk page. Nedrutland (talk) 12:43, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Your juvenile ad hominem aside, we do not describe historical events the way Latvian media or you prefer. If you have a problem with objectivity, I suggest you touch grass and not fume at the objective and correct description of events. This isn't a forum to distort history or inject your personal grievances against any state/polity. HotChickenParmesan (talk) 12:49, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

I do not appreciate you repeatedly reverting the change I introduced to Hodson's page, the removal of perhaps the most elementary and overt instance of grammatical oversight, without bothering to explain your action.

What you seem to be doing is insisting on the insertion and retention of a grammatical error on the page. Hodson was the leader of an irregular cavalry regiment, and NOT the leader of all irregular cavalry, as your edit erroneously insists. I suggest you go through the page on Hodson's Horses to understand its history.

That said, I have restored the variant I wrote with the aforesaid clarification to make the distinction amply clear. Please do not change it. I am formally placing on the record that your repeated reversion is erroneous and grammatically incorrect. Moreover, you do not even bother to leave an edit summary, which I find disrespectful. SeafaringVoyager (talk)

The wording before your recent interventions was "William Stephen Raikes Hodson ... was an English leader of irregular light cavalry" which reflected the phrasing of 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article "British leader of light cavalry"; this was not a grammatical error, nor erroneous. Your initial edit, altering it to "leader of an irregular light cavalry", introduced a grammatical error and was reverted.

The tone of your comment is not in line with the spirit of Wikipedia. Nedrutland (talk) 08:08, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

The wording before your recent interventions was "William Stephen Raikes Hodson ... was an English leader of irregular light cavalry" which reflected the phrasing of 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article "British leader of light cavalry"

That still doesn't prove anything.

‘Leader of irregular light cavalry’ is not grammatically equivalent to ‘leader of an irregular light-cavalry unit.’ You’ve omitted the determiner that makes the noun phrase work in the intended sense. If you mean that Hodson commanded an irregular light-cavalry unit, say precisely that; otherwise the sentence is malformed and, at best, ambiguous. I made the distinction clear.

The tone of your comment is not in line with the spirit of Wikipedia.

I am sorry you feel that way, but I still stand by my words. Nothing about my tone is disrespectful. You repeatedly reverted my changes without bothering to accord me the courtesy of writing a simple edit summary. Unlike you, I wrote them too since it is only respectful to do so, and because I wished for you to know why I made that change without having to discuss this with you on your talk page. That said, no harm done. The current adjustments make the text unambiguously clear. Cheers! SeafaringVoyager 🛳️🌊 10:19, 4 September 2026 (UTC)
