Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Kimberly Wyatt: 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. Thank you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 20:38, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Mary Shelley: while I agree that "the couple and her sister" is not ideal, we try hard not to name our subjects by given name alone (unless as children). Any idea how to avoid that? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:34, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
It could read 'In 1816 the couple, accompanied by Claire Clairmont, famously.....' (we can't say Clairmont alone, since her mother is also referred to in the lead paragraphs) Sbishop (talk) 12:11, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Lady Louise Windsor, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. DrKay (talk) 06:57, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
Greetings. FYI the word "church" is not capitalised in Wikipedia articles by itself even when it is referring to a specific church such as the Church of England. In WP articles this principle is exactly the same as it is for universities and other institutions, even if those institutions capitalise them in their own publications. There are a few exceptions but this is not one of them. Please see MOS:INSTITUTIONS for further information. It includes "church" in its examples of words which are not capitalised by themselves. Regards, Afterwriting (talk) 09:44, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Harry Hadden-Paton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Gill. 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.)

Hi. I'd like to explain somewhere the various symbols for cancellation marks. Where would be a good place, do you think? Not all are available in Unicode, so I've created SVGs for CTO cancel (), pen cancel (), etc. But I'm not sure what they all mean, exactly, as I've only found explanations in German.

Thanks again for the info re His Last Bow. I see the ref you mentioned in the Retirement section, but I have to say that without some knowledge of British history, it's not immediately apparent that it's the one.

Hello,
Yesterday I made an edit that was reverted by this account. It is a convention in Wikipedia that those holders of titles (among them, Peers), shall have The Right Honourable as a prefix, their title in lieu of a name, and their Post-nominal letters in the Honorific Suffix field. Please refer to Valerie Amos, Baroness Amos, Margaret Thatcher, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, or Alexander Windsor, Earl of Ulster (who is not a peer but has his subsidiary title as a name), for further examples.

Heya - you're right to revert my edit to Mary I; I just thought starting a section with "Meanwhile", with no given context of time, sounded a bit clunky.

Hello, I'm Neveselbert. I noticed that you recently removed content from Joseph Stalin without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Hello Sbishop. Placings in the WDC achieved with a car are and always have been considered directly relevant to the car's article, hence why we have always reported on drivers' titles achieved with a particular model. Drivers use a chassis to compete just as much as a constructor uses a chassis to compete, so both championships are equally distant from the car as each other.

You reverted my edit as "Expresses personal POV about film script - not encyclopedic ". Hardly POV to show that the film-maker opted to insert a historically untrue bit of love-interest fluff, while excluding a vital bitter-sweet element of the book whereby the deliverer of the fake documents was ultimately hanged for his anti-Nazi efforts. Of course it is encylopaedic! There are so many examples (such as "The Last King of Scotland") where a film-maker takes a good true story and emasculates it with unbelievable nonsense.

I can not understand why you reverted my edit (the whole edit actually).
What do you mean with "links don't work"?
And "licence not license", I think it's related with [[American and British English spelling differences
And the Irish flag link is related to Irish Tricolour, not to "Tricolour" alone. Meridiana solare (talk) 18:36, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
As an FYI on the revert on Julie Christie, it was part of a mass rollback from an IP hopping block evading editor causing a lot of disruption on actor's articles. Not all of their edits are disruptive, though most are. No issues with you reverting individual edits if it's valid and valuable. Canterbury Tail talk 13:37, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

I am giving a warning regarding the removal of the filming details for Spencer without citing the grounds for removal. The user cited the whole edit summary as "Article is in British English, see editing notes" which is in no way related to the deleted contents. This doesn't seem the first time you have done it with other articles WITHOUT adding the grounds to the edit summary. More of this and I'm raising this concern to the administrator's noticeboard.

Hi, you have made a series of edits to this article without providing anything in the way of edit comments. Such comments are good practice, as they indicate your intentions to other editors. Unconstructive edits are often uncommented, so leaving your edits without comments causes other editors to check everything you do wondering if you are being helpful or not, a waste of volunteer time. So, it would be much appreciated if you'd provide at least brief comments (as short as "rm overlinks" may be sufficient). All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:45, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, greetings, etc. I see your talk page is plagued by notifications from a well-meaning but fuckwitted bot which is programmed to complain when you link to eg Pygmalion, since there are (strange as it may seem) multiple articles with this approximate title. That's what dab pages are for. The solution is unbelievably simple. Click Special:preferences → Gadgets → Appearance, and click/enable "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". It does what it says on the tin. All you need to do (assuming you can read orange text) is to navigate to the specific article which you were intending to link to (out of the multitude of possibilities of which you you are now aware), copy the actual article title, and paste it between the time-honoured square brackets. Voilà!

Reason for revert was "Not a reliable source". Sandler appears to be a reliable source. He is a historian and the author of more than 50 books. This factoid about Ziryab is also mentioned on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziryab#Cuisine so I have no reason to doubt it. Do you think we can put this edit back? beefyt (talk) 16:30, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your edit summary reverting my edit on Agatha Christie's The Moving Finger. I have a copy of the book here—a recent US reprint—and it definitely says "an airplane accident." Do you have a copy of the book that says "motorcycle"? If so, perhaps this is a UK vs. US edition change, although I'm not sure why it would have been made. In any event, in another place in the article it still says "plane," so at least we ought to be consistent. Please let me know what you think. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 18:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Sbishop. I notice that you reverted my see also link from Eton mess to Mess with the claim that there is no connection. You might want to take this up at the talk page for Mess, as the lead of that article states This sense of mess, which appeared in English in the 13th century, was often used for cooked or liquid dishes in particular, as in the "mess of pottage" (porridge or soup) or Eton mess.

Hello, there. Since I am fully making a page for the second Elizabethan era, I noticed that you reverted my edit on Mary of Teck - the one where I said that she was also known as the Lonesome Queen.
This was simply not vandalism, but a misunderstanding on your part. I read it on some random website that she had been called that, but now I can't find the source for it. It wasn't vandalism, just lack of clarity.
Happy editing :)

The new version of this film is adapted using unconventional filming techniques such as breaking the fourth wall. If you have not seen the film then possibly you could restore the additions to the plot section which were started. If you are not familiar with films which use the fourth wall then I could list some for you. The changes should be restored for me to finish the plot section.

Hello Ponsonby. I noticed that you removed the explicit mention of Mike Wallace and reworded it to just "Several people" but looking at another actress page like Taraneh Alidoosti in which there are explicit mentions of people who reacted. Iam curious, isn't the sentence "About 600 members of the international arts community from 30 different countries signed an open letter demanding Alidoosti's release." be enough alone rather than mentioning everybody as everyone must have said something. 182.183.20.126 (talk) 11:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
