Prince William[edit]

While he also remains Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Cornwall, the former will never be used again (become some kind of subsidiary), while the latter is used only when in the county it represents. The use of the combined title "Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge" ended on 9 September 2022 and his main titles are "Prince of Wales" and "Duke of Rothesay".

September 2022[edit]

Yesterday, you reverted five times on Camilla, Queen Consort. Please note that editors are not permitted to make more than 3 reverts on a page in 24 hours: WP:3RR. Editors who breach this rule can be blocked from editing. DrKay (talk) 08:21, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oh, I truly did not know that. Thanks for informing me. I was trying to be helpful, but I will limit it. Thanks again. GandalfXLD (talk) 08:25, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Camilla[edit]

Howdy. FWIW, secondary sources are preferred over primary sources & it appears (so far) that secondary sources are increasingly using "Queen" & "HM The Queen". We shouldn't be promoting that Queen Camilla be treated differently from past queens consort of the British Isles or current queens consort of other countries. GoodDay (talk) 02:10, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Queen Camilla should not be treated in anyway different to prior Queen Consorts. GandalfXLD (talk) 06:53, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

October 2022[edit]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Jeremy Hunt, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. David Biddulph (talk) 12:15, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Acknowledged. GandalfXLD (talk) 13:58, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Common law[edit]

You haven't responded to my question to you about common law. Indeed, women take the feminine equivalent of their husband's title together with his name. But in this case, Camilla is her own name. Wouldn't it be similar to Princess Michael of Kent, who takes her husband's title and name? Or to Diana, Princess of Wales, who added her husband's title after her name?

Disambiguation link notification for March 7[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Paul Mashatile, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South African. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

April 2023[edit]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Tony Radakin! However, you should know that adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. A bare URL is a URL cited as a reference for some information in an article without any accompanying information about the linked page. In other words, it is just URL copied and pasted into the Wiki text, inserted between <ref>...</ref> tags, without title, author, date, or any of the usual information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the ((cite web)) template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>((cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02))</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already entered one or more bare urls to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles, and to avoid future link rot, please consider supplementing your bare URLs—creating full, inline citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc. More information can be found at Wikipedia:Inline citations. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 22:22, 27 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Will do. Thank you. GandalfXLD (talk) 06:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

May 2023[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Mutt Lunker. An edit that you recently made to Serbia seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:03, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. I didn't mean to press publish. I usually use preview but finger was quicker than my computer so I double clicked. GandalfXLD (talk) 11:26, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Other British monarch requested move discussions currently taking place[edit]

Since you recently participated in the Charles III requested move discussion, I thought you might like to know that there are two other discussions currently going on about other British monarch article titles here and here. Cheers. Rreagan007 (talk) 22:23, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
