Dear SkywalkerEccleston, I am very pleased to meet another Wikipedian interested in the Irish 17th century and especially the corresponding biographies and their citations. With 163 edits you are still a newby, but you do not really behave like one, having developed fixed interests and being interested in citations. Also you avoided writing a huge user page talking a lot about yoursself, something many newbies do. On the other hand, you add citations, what few newbies do but which is probably what we most need.
I would be pleased to collaborate and discuss with you, concerning e. g. knowledge about the mentioned subject matter and sources for it, knowledge about Wikipedia, citing, MOS, do's and don'ts.
I should probably talk about problems special to Sir William Talbot, 1st Baronet on the talk page of that article rather than here, but I thought that I would first talk to you and then discuss remaing disagreements (if any) on the article talk page.
Your edits on the article concern the additions of 4 citations and that of the infobox. The article had 20 citations before your intervention. They formed an established citation style, being all in the Shortened Footnotes style using ((Sfn)). The 4 citations you added use ref tags enclosing a cite template. These are two valid but very different citation styles. Your edit comment states that you used Visual Editor. Perhaps this simply is what adding citations in Visiual Editor produces. If this is the case~, perhaps you would not mind if I change your citations to the established style? I might also do some other changes on them, please allow me to do so. I also wondered whether Infobox plitian is the best choice. I would probably have used Infobox noble. What do you thoink? Best regards, ~~ Johannes Schade (talk) 11:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mícheál Ó Cléirigh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Donegal. 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.)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Rory O'More (died 1547). You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 05:24, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Dear SkywalkerEccleston, thank you for your attention to the article James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond. Please do not take it badly when I criticise you. It may to a big part be caused by my lack of familiarity with Visual editor. From my first beginning I used Source editing and still do.
Your edit summary simply says "Tag: Visual edit". You should always provide a meaningful edit summary (see Help:Edit summary). It is not enough to indicate which editor you used. Perhaps you should have said "Improved infobox using Visual editor".
When I make an edit, I always ask myself whether my edit really improves Wikipedia. I find yours does not. You made two changes, both adding additional parameters to the Infobox, an empty CoA parameter and a birth_place parameter set to "Ireland". I do not see why unused parameters should be added, and I believe "Ireland" is too vague to be useful.
Dear SkywalkerEccleston I have the impression the fault mostly lies with Visual editor. Could you please explain to me how you came to make this edit? Please excuse my ignorance, I could not find where Visual editor offers functionality concerning the Infobox.
I feel you have probably acquired enough experience to move away from Visual editor. Sourc editing is perhaps a bit more demanding but much more flexible. I think most experienced users prefer it. With many thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 10:28, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Just a reminder that when you create disambiguation pages, you should insert an introductory line, along with some other things depending on the subject. I've inserted one for you at Cathal O'Connor (disambiguation). Schrödinger's jellyfish ✉ 17:43, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Tyrrell (disambiguation) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.CycloneYoris talk! 06:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Dear SkywalkerEccleston thank you for your attention to the article Owen Roe O'Neill. You added the day and month to the subject's year of death in the article's lead. This full date already appeared in the infobox and in the section "Death and legacy" of the main content. Do you think it is really an improvement to add it in a third place? I would have thought that the lead is where the lifespan can be given with a lesser precision (years only) so that the main content und the infobox can elaborate on the lead.
