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)

September 2021

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)

Capitalisation of "church" by itself

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.

Philately symbols

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. Please ping, — kwami (talk) 21:50, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Titles and styles

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. Duke of Somewhere (talk) 07:36, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

WDC references on car pages

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.

Operation Mincement (film)

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. Arrivisto (talk) 10:28, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

It would be fine to discuss the scriptwriter choices in a factual manner, including omissions and additions. But using terms such as 'superfluous' turns it into personal commentary. Someone else might believe the opposite - but neither POV should be in Wikipedia (unless it were to be a quote from a reliable critical source). Sbishop (talk) 10:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

FIA Super Licence, wikilinks reverted

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)

The user did this with my edit to Spencer film. He cited "British English" on edit summary which is no way an explanation for a not rather "minor" editing on the page. He literally deleted all the contents regarding the filming equipment used which is valid and comes with links for citation. AgencyX Deadpool (talk) 12:20, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Julie Christie

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)

Thank you. I should say that due to my pressing a button too early, the revert was published without the short explanation I intended to insert, which in brief was that the CIA and its 1950s publication cannot be regarded as a neutral and academic source for a view on whether Stalin was a dictator. This question is certainly open but other sources would be more appropriate to a change. Sbishop (talk) 07:37, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Uncommented edits at English cuisine

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)

Quiche short descritpion

Hello!

The reason I changed the short description on Quiche was because:

• Short descriptions should start with a capital letter
• Short descriptions generally don't need that much information in them, and should be concise.

However, disambiguating from pages such as Quiche Lorraine is important, so you are right, I'll leave the ingredients in. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 19:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

How to avoid incredibly annoying notices from DPL Bot

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!

Happy to help. I actually was hoping to be mildly insulting, which obviously didn't work quite as I intended. Nevertheless, is there not a case for connecting the importunate B's untimely demise to the restoration of N's reputation, since B seems to have caused N's downfall in the first place? I made an immediate connection when I worked out the timeline, and I suspect other readers would also like to be informed: but of course correlation does not imply causation. There may be a case for continuing this discussion on the relevant talk page. Best wishes, MinorProphet (talk) 12:08, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

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.

The Moving Finger

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)

It may well be a US/UK thing. Yes, I do have a UK edition which refer to a motorcycle accident. Certainly there should eb consistency - in my view the easiest way to achieve this simply is to delete all reference to the cause of the accident. After all, it is not germane to the plot, it is simply a device to show why Jerry is in the village in the first place.Sbishop (talk) 08:03, 17 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.

Mary of Teck

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 :)

Persuasion

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. HenryRoan (talk) 15:58, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

I am very familiar with what 'fourth wall' means and how it is used in this film. Your additions need to separate out the plot from commentary on filming technique, which belongs elsewhere in the article, if necessary in a new section. And in the case of the latter, anything substantial needs to be sourced from reliable sources, not just be your personal commentary.Ponsonby100 (talk) 16:42, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for adjusting the caption to the image. The Purple Rose of Cairo is one well known film plot which uses fourth wall in the Wikipedia Plot section, among other films that do this. There are so many fourth wall asides made in this new version of Persuasion that it seems it will need to mention the fourth wall in the Plot section, no matter who writes it. See the plot section to The Purple Rose of Cairo as an example. If you have seen the 2022 film Persuasion then you can include it using your way of stating it. HenryRoan (talk) 18:22, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

I have read the summary section in The Purple Rose of Cairo article and it does mention the fourth wall issue - but does so by restricting itself to what the characters do, which I suppose is alright. If you wish to try something siimilar for the Persuasion article, there is nothing to stop you.Ponsonby100 (talk) 07:50, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Melissa Barrera.

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)

The text on the Alidoosti page identifies a large number of well known people in the same profession as Alidoosti supporting her. It is unclear to me why an Irish politician with no connection to Barrera should be identified by name in this context, it appears quite random.Ponsonby100 (talk) 11:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

I see your point but, there is also a article like Mahsa Amini, in which there is mention of each celebrities's reactions. Whereas, the remarks of politicians and organizations may hold relevance but actors/actresses reaction one by one seems bit weird and extra since everyone around the world have said something about that. 182.183.53.207 (talk) 13:23, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Lion in Winter lead cleanup

Holiday wishes, user Ponsonby. Unregistered users can't thank other editors for their contributions with a simple click - I suppose a protection against misuse, vandalism, but a shame. Thank you for doing some valuable cleanup on the lead at The Lion in Winter article. 2601:196:180:DC0:6D5F:E3F9:2209:ADBA (talk) 19:36, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for doing the initial change. Best wishes. Ponsonby100 (talk) 19:43, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

You're welcome. All the best in 2024.2601:196:180:DC0:6D5F:E3F9:2209:ADBA (talk) 21:37, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
