• I'm not a huge Royals or royalty person, but Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilees are typically fairly notable since even someone like myself, who doesn't go out of their way to consume media about them has heard of it. I left a message on the royalty WikiProject, which focuses on royalty related articles on Wikipedia, about the article and yourself. Hopefully someone can help you flesh it out!

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Peter Ormond, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Ruby Jubilee of Elizabeth II have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:48, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Coming attraction

In the future, we'll need an RFC covering all the 'former' monarchy articles that had Elizabeth II as their only monarch. Basically a re-do of the August 2021 RFC, only with Barbados added. Gotta get'em in sync, be it Monarchy of country or Queen of country. I don't really care which, just as long as 'one' is adopted for all of them. GoodDay (talk) 05:55, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

The RM at Monarchy of Barbados has been closed as no move, which goes opposite of the August 2021 RM. It's likely that the RM at Queen of Nigeria will be closed as no move, which goes along with the August 2021 RM. These two articles-in-question are basically the same articles - monarchies that had (will have) only 'one' monarch. So, why are we getting different results? Scratching my head, over the likely different outcomes. GoodDay (talk) 05:25, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

I think the August 2021 RM should be again opened. And if an independent monarchy existed in that country before, then parenthetical disambiguation of years (e.g. Monarchy of Nigeria (1960–1963)) should be used for the Elizabethan monarchy. Peter Ormond 💬 05:33, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Agreed, also Monarchy of Fiji needs to be split into two articles. GoodDay (talk) 05:42, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

I think it should be split into Tui Viti and Monarchy of Fiji (1970–1987). The content about Cakobau's reign is not so great, so I don't think it deserves a stand-alone monarchy article. It could be mentioned at Tui Viti. The Elizabethan monarchy could be covered at Monarchy of Fiji (1970–1987). Also, the Fijian chiefs still recognising The Queen as Tui Viti even after the 1987 coup, can also be covered at Tui Viti. Peter Ormond 💬 05:48, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Agreed. GoodDay (talk) 05:53, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Holy smokes, I think my big plea on November 4, got the ball rolling for the Nigerian monarchy article's name. Congrats, now 'many more' to go :) GoodDay (talk) 17:29, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Not sure if it'll help. But, I went through a nervous breakdown that lasted for two months. If you look at my contribs history (this year) you'll know 'when'. Among my many phobias is my 'mortality'.

Copyright problem on Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II and Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II

Content you added to the above articles appears to have been copied from the BBC website and the Government of Saint Lucia website, neither of which are released under a compatible license. Copying text directly from a source is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, most of the content had to be removed. Content you add to Wikipedia should be written in your own words. Please let me know if you have any questions. — Diannaa (talk) 21:13, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Your edit to Draft:State visit by Elizabeth II to Saudi Arabia has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 21:32, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

@Diannaa: You can see I have got copyright problems for some of my edits. I haven't got a high proficiency in English, so I cannot completely write the text in my own words. Please tell me who to turn to on Wikipedia for help. Also, please email me the full source of the draft as it appeared at 21:02 revision. Peter Ormond 💬 21:42, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Content has to be written in your own words and not include any wording from the source material. One thing I find that works for me is to read over the source material and then pretend I am verbally describing the topic to a friend in my own words. Stuff should also be presented in a different order where possible. Summarize rather than paraphrase. This will typically result in your version being much shorter than the source document. There's some reading material on this topic at Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing and/or have a look at the material at Paraphrase: Write It in Your Own Words. Check out the links in the menu on the left for some exercises to try. Or study this module aimed at WikiEd students.

Please don't add copyright content to Wikipedia, not even temporarily for editing. Please do your amendments before you save the page, or use an external editor such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs and work on it there until you are sure it's completely original.

Australian and Canadian GGs

Hi, Peter Ormond, I took the Canadian GG out of the G20 box, but left the Australian in, because of the Australian head of state dispute. I personally don't know enough about the Australian situation to comment, so I left it in. Will be interesting to see if anyone responds to either of our deletions. ;) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 18:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello Mr Serjeant Buzfuz! It was decided by an RfC that we should refer to The Queen as head of state of Australia, on Wikipedia. :) Peter Ormond 💬 18:51, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I was not aware of that, thank you! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 19:36, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Don't know if an RFC is required, concerning categories & sub-categories. But, I'm planning on one, as many of the commonwealth realm governors-general have 'head of state of their countries' in such categories & sub-categories. I was reverted by an editor at the governors-general of Australia category, for example. GoodDay (talk) 21:49, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

We already have the 2016 RfC concerning Australia, and there is no "head of state dispute" in any other Commonwealth realm. So, I don't think there's a need for any new RfC. I suggest you should start the work in Categories and Sub-categories. Peter Ormond 💬 21:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Peter & @Mr Serjeant Buzfuz:, I agree. But, editor StAnselm, appears to resist. GoodDay (talk) 21:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

StAnselm says, "POV edit which would require consensus." Tell him of the already established consensus.[2] Peter Ormond 💬 22:00, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

He doesn't think the categories & sub-categories are covered by it. PS - You'll note, he's one of the 'tiny few' who were against the Australian monarch being described as Australia's head of state, in the 2016 RFC. GoodDay (talk) 22:04, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

They you may open a new RfC regarding categories & sub-categories. But I think it's entirely unnecessary and a waste of time. Peter Ormond 💬 22:09, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I agree with you, that it would be a waste of time. PS - You can speak to him if you want, to avoid the headache. I've just contacted him, second ago. GoodDay (talk) 22:13, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I've completed the removals from the categories. GoodDay (talk) 02:52, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Redirects changed to Pages

Hello. When the RfD has run its course & depending on its result. I'm going to propose changing the 14 redirects, into their own pages. Just not sure, where I would need to make that proposal. PS - I realise that we don't need those 14 redirects changed to pages, instantly. One at a time, would likely be the best way :) GoodDay (talk) 19:11, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

I think only Canada, Australia, and New Zealand merit their own succession pages if the proposal gets support. Peter Ormond 💬 19:19, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Jubilees

I figured I'd avoid any future disputes over which countries to list in the leads of those pages.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The Queen smiling.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:The Queen smiling.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/queen-elizabeth-ii-visits-the-floriade-flower-festival-on-news-photo/129686912?adppopup=true. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Reactions to the death of Elizabeth II

The article Reactions to the death of Elizabeth II has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is an unsourced and inappropriate content fork.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:14, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Invitation to the London Bridge Task Force

Hello! You seem to have an interest in the recent death of Elizabeth II, so I wanted to invite to the WikiProject of Current Events new task force The London Bridge Task Force, which will be working on improving all the articles around the death of Elizabeth II. A task force is similar to a WikiProject, which is where you can communicate with other editors who all have the same goal, which is improving all the articles around a specific topic. I hope you consider joining! Elijahandskip (talk) 18:30, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

List of dignitaries at the state funeral of Elizabeth II

When adding dignitaries to List of dignitaries at the state funeral of Elizabeth II make sure to add a source and to specifically name and link the individual. Example would be please don't simply add 'President of Hungary', please add the specific officeholder such as Katalin Novák, President of Hungary. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 23:19, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Reactions photos

Hi, there. I just thought I would let you know that the reason I added the photos of some leaders to the Reactions to the death of Elizabeth II article was to make the article more "visually appealing" I suppose, as much of the article is a long list of names (hence why some sections I had previously paragraphed). Do you reckon that we could possibly add some photos back or do something to change the fact that the article is a super long and unattractive-looking list? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 22:10, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

I have added few pics. We should add pictures related to the event (such as people signing condolence books), not portraits of some politicians which makes the article look very awkward. Peter Ormond 💬 05:51, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Of course. Also, please ensure that you cite references properly and not just put in the link. Thanks. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 06:01, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Elizabeth II's realms

Reckon we're gonna be stuck with Barbados in Elizabeth II's entry at the List of longest-reigning monarchs page. GoodDay (talk) 00:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

FWIW, I've no objections to your proposed change at List of dignitaries at the state funeral of Elizabeth II. But, I know there might be resistance to highlighting only the UK. GoodDay (talk) 19:35, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

I highlighted the UK because that's where her funeral and internment took place. If there is resistance to it, then the UK could also be grouped under "Commonwealth realms". Peter Ormond 💬 19:41, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

I'd oppose grouping the UK under "Commonwealth realms", as it's the main realm in the entire page. Indeed, the realm where the very death & state funeral-in-question, occurred. GoodDay (talk) 19:49, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Please explain your reverts

Hi, you reverted my addition of a column in the page List of current heirs apparent, but did not explain why you did it. I am assuming it was a good faith edit, but it is more useful if you explain your motivation for reverting the work of others. That way you respect other editors' work and help understand your perspective. Thanks. Thinker78 (talk) 03:11, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi. That column was superfluous, and 15 realms ranging from the Caribbean, Pacific, Europe and the Americas were grouped just under "Europe". Hence, I removed it. Peter Ormond 💬 09:04, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

One thing is being superfluous another thing is that you consider it superfluous. I added the column precisely because I was trying to read about the monarchs according to the region they are in. Maybe you have no use for such functionality, but I did. And likewise, probably other editors would find that filter useful as well. Therefore it was not superfluous.

Regarding the realms of the British monarch outside of Europe, he is head of state there due to the British colonization. It would be misleading to have listed the British monarch as monarch of each one of those individual realms like if he was a native monarch of those places.

They do belong to the Commonwealth of Nations. Although in theory each one of them is free and equal, the fact is they have as monarch someone not native of their nation. Jamaica doesn't have a Jamaican monarch, they have a British monarch. Likewise for the rest of them. Therefore it makes sense listing all the nations where the British monarch is head of state as under Europe, because they have a European monarch. Thinker78 (talk) 17:30, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Queen's Service Order you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 20:46, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Infobox changes

Hi Peter Ormond, hope you are doing well. Just wanted to let you know that I had to revert your recent edit on Diana, Princess of Wales, because it seems that a consensus is needed with regards to how reigning former spouses of deceased or divorced individuals need to be listed in their respective infoboxes. I have started a discussion on the article's talk page with pages that use different methods and you are welcome to share your opinion or add other examples. I will be looking forward to your feedback. Cheers. Keivan.f^Talk 23:56, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Keivan.f. I'm good and hope you are doing great too. I don't have a strong preference for any option as long as the form of spouse's name is consistent across all pages. Thanks for opening the discussion, and thank you for your tireless work during the last month in particular. :) Peter Ormond 💬 19:10, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

FAR notice

I have nominated Elizabeth II for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. John (talk) 15:27, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Charles III

Hello, your recent change on the House of Windsor page was unnecessary. The photo used before you reverted it was much better, and he was looking at the camera. By you changing the photo, you had extended a problem that had long been over. Please do not change the photo once more, the photo there is currently a temporary fix due to a culprit that changed it. I reverted the edit and the photo before the one you'd uploaded is now up. Please note that the photo there now is the temporary and will be changed once The Royal Family has released an official picture/portrait. Please refrain from changing it again, unless consensus is made on the talk page.

If you have any questions or concerns please find my talk page.

BillClinternet (talk) 23:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

That image was used at List of British monarchs, so I used it at House of Windsor for the sake of consistency. And there is no discussion on the talk page about your preferred picture to be used. You have no right to issue warnings as it is you who is edit-warring and forcing your things into the article without discussing at the article's talk page.

Liz & Chuck

Howdy, I restored my changes to the intro of the Coronation of Elizabeth II page & also took care of the repetition concerns. In the meantime, if you still oppose the changes? I'll open an RFC on both Elizabeth II's & Charles III's coronation pages. IMHO, they should be the same, concerning the UK & the other Commonwealth realms. PS - Liz had the UK & six others, where's Chuck has the UK & 14 others, of course. GoodDay (talk) 06:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Please don't make any changes when the discussion is not over. The Queen's case (and that of her successors) is different from her predecessors. At the coronation in 1953, the Queen was the first monarch to be crowned with separate titles in each of her then-seven realms. Coronation Contingents and fleet review ships were sent from every realm, and guard was held at Buckingham Palace by troops of every realm. And each realm's Coronation Standard was marched in the procession. Every realm was represented at the ceremony. Removing all the realms and substituting it with "UK and six other Commonwealth realms" is WP:UNDUE. As far as consistency is concerned, the King also has a separate title in each of his 15 realms, like his mother. When sources appear listing the King's realms at his coronation, then we can add them. Opening an RfC will just be a waste of time as the King's coronation has not been held yet, and even if the RfC is held I'm sure ill-informed editors will vote for a nonsense proposal without knowing the above stated facts. Peter Ormond 💬 20:06, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

And if you like consistency so much, then please restore the text of all the proclamations at Proclamation of accession of Elizabeth II, to make the article consistent with Proclamation of accession of Charles III. The proclamations at the Queen's article were removed citing WP:NOTMIRROR, but I can't figure out why that doesn't apply to the King's article. Peter Ormond 💬 20:06, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm going to open up an RFC at WP:ROY concerning both Elizabeth II's & Charles III's coronation intros. We can't ignore that the coronations took place in the United Kingdom & that the UK was announced first in the coronation oath. In the meantime, I will leave the intros different in both pages, as to 'highlight' the RFC's requirement. GoodDay (talk) 20:36, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I haven't ignored that the ceremony took place in the United Kingdom and that the UK was announced first in the coronation oath, as the United Kingdom appears first in the list of realms in my preferred version. Peter Ormond 💬 21:12, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

It's been open. One way or the other, the two intros will become consistent. GoodDay (talk) 20:58, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

RFC was closed & so I implemented the change to Coronation of Elizabeth II, to match with Charles III's coronation intro, via the RFC decision. GoodDay (talk) 00:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

RFC stuff

Howdy Peter. Even though the WP:ROY's RFC tag is about to expire in about a day. I'll hold off from seeking the RFC's closure, for two weeks. In the last few hours, we've had other editors chime in, due to my contacting the Elizabeth II & Charles III pages (which I should've thought of, at the beginning) for more input.

Proclamation of King Frederick X Of Denmark

Hey, ¿why redirect the article, and not leave it independently, because it will have encyclopedic value as time goes by, brother? Lmpesantezt (talk) 19:21, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lmpesantezt. The information regarding King Frederik's proclamation is already covered and is within the scope of the article regarding Queen Daisy's abdication. Therefore a separate article for a mere announcement of accession by Mette Frederiksen is not justified, and per WP:SAMETYPEFORK: "the more recent article should be merged into the main article". Peter Ormond 💬 22:03, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

....... Then keep it there until it has encyclopedic scope of utmost importance when the moment comes after the proclamation when it is an article highly valuable independent of the main article Lmpesantezt (talk) 04:19, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

For such bold move, I suggest you take input from other editors either at Talk:Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark or Talk:Abdication of Margrethe II. Peter Ormond 💬 05:19, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Monarchy of Tuvalu, Monarchy of Solomon Islands

Hi, are the prime ministers of Tuvalu and Solomon Islands really appointed by the Crown? I cannot find this from their Constitutions. 219.79.89.205 (talk) 08:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Schedule 2 of both the Consitution of Tuvalu and the Constitution of Solomon Islands highlights the role of the governor-general (the representative of the Crown) in the appointment of the country's prime minister. The functions of the governor-general under this schedule are performed in his/her own deliberate judgment. Peter Ormond 💬 11:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

From the book The Veiled Sceptre pp145-146: [6]

In the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, the chief minister is elected by the Members of Parliament from amongst their number. ... . The reason why South Pacific countries diverged from the Westminster practice of the Prime Minister being appointed by the Sovereign or Governor-General was ‘both the underdeveloped state of political parties and the wish to enhance the role and authority of the legislature’.

219.79.89.205 (talk) 08:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

In realms which have a party system, the leader of the party (or coalition) with the most seats after an election is received by the governor-general (or the Sovereign in the case of UK), and invited to form a government. The Sovereign or the governor-general, on behalf of The Crown, then appoints the leader as prime minister and administers the required oaths.

In Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, due to the underdeveloped party system, a majority of the members of parliament are elected as 'Independents'. There isn't any party who forms a majority so that its leader be appointed prime minister. Because of this, it is the elected members of parliament who elect the prime minister, and this happens during an election meeting presided over and conducted by the governor-general. After the election, the governor-general announces the result, and declares the winner to have been elected prime minister.

So, even though the prime ministers of Solomon Islands and Tuvalu are elected by parliament, it is the governor-general who formally swears in the prime minister. In Papua New Guinea, the governor-general himself is elected by parliament, but it is the Sovereign who formally appoints him to the office. Peter Ormond 💬 08:01, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Are you able to change the sentences "One of the main duties of the Crown is to appoint a prime minister." in those articles? Or you should change the Apponter to "Governor-General" in the infoboxes of Prime Minister of Tuvalu and Prime minister of Solomon Islands. 49.130.131.5 (talk) 11:10, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I have removed the reference to the Crown in those articles. Peter Ormond 💬 14:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
