Information icon Hello, I'm Remsense. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Eadred, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Remsense 00:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This time I did not done anything, I just undid vandalism, some IP put something in runes, that IP was reverted as well, and also, I restored as how it was in previous versions, as I found out I was wrong in that, that's all Mr. Information1409 (talk) 02:57, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How departure dates are handled, when midnight is a factor

The Act that merged the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland took effect only at midnight, the very beginning of 1 January 1801 & not a second after. That's why the end date is 31 December 1800. If you wish to continue to contest this? Then please bring the topic up at a WikiProject of your choosing. GoodDay (talk) 03:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, got it, I see that you have more experience around here. I’m sorry if I caused problems.Mr. Information1409 (talk) 03:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've brought the topic up at a related WikiProject. You're not the only individual who's argued for 1 January 1801 as the end date. GoodDay (talk) 03:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see, tell them please that I’m sorry, I will not change that ever again. My true apologies. Mr. Information1409 (talk) 03:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're free to join the discussion there. It's quite possible that 1 January 1801, will be considered the correct date. GoodDay (talk) 04:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Northumbrian and Cumbrian

While you are correct that contemporary speech in the North East and Cumbria is a regionalised form of London English, the Northumbrian and Cumbrian dialect articles specifically concern the moribund traditional dialects, which are derived directly from Northumbrian Old English. While most people in the North East and Cumbria would say 'stone' today, the articles specifically list traditional Northumbrian lexical and grammatical forms, such as NE 'styen' and Cumbrian 'steàn', and so focus primarily on these older dialects. Modern Northern English, as a whole, is covered in English language in Northern England.

Edit summaries

Information icon Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:54, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, actually that's what I usually do, but I will do my best in do it more frequently, thanks for letting me know that. Cheers! Mr. Information1409 (talk) 05:57, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Richard I

I am very seldom confused. Richard was born in England, where he lived until he was eight. In England those around him would have been mostly speakers of Norman French and English. His father was Angevin, but had spent many years in England and Normandy, we know he could understand spoken English and no doubt could speak in the Norman dialect to his Anglo-Norman aristocracy. There is also the matter of relative prestige, Norman French was the language of both a duchy and a kingdom, and as such would have considerably more prestige than he dialect of Anjou, a mere county. Richard's mother would have spoken the Langue D'Oc of Aquitaine. Richard wrote poetry in his mother's tongue and in Langue D'Oeil, and there is some evidence that he knew some Latin, he was multi-lingual. Your personal view on this matter has to give way to the views of cited written sources, of which there are now two, which say that the name 'Richard Quor de Lion' was Norman French. This is how Wikipedia works, written secondary sources trump all personal opinion by any and all editors. Urselius (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Spain and the American Revolutionary War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anglo-Spanish War. 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.)

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Philippine–American War, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. I have reverted some recent changes you made. There is a discussion in progress between editors working towards WP:Consensus in this area at Talk:Philippine–American War § Official end of the war.. Please join that discussion. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:39, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you made a mistake, I used a reference that cites a book, and that's reliable, because I was taught in school that the most reliable sites to cite are books, I just make that to not cause endless debate, correct me if I'm wrong. Mr. Information1409 (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Information icon Greetings. Thanks for expressing your interest in the Philippine-American War. You recently made revisions to that article, 1231889305 and 1231893111, that have been the subject of on-going discussions. Your edit summaries, "Fixing" in both cases, were very vague. Please refer to WP:SUMMARYNO and RED FLAGS for guidance on edit summaries. Any thoughts you may want to share with regards to recent points of contention in this article would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Chino-Catane (talk) 02:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! I'l keep it on mind. Now that you wrote me, do you agree with my edit that I wanted to make with reference? It was from a book Mr. Information1409 (talk) 02:53, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With regards to revision 1231893111, did Agoncillo claim that the Moros were a representative fighting force of the First Philippine Republic? If he did, what is the particular page number where this claim was made? I was recently corrected in my attempt to use that particular citation in support of a different assertion. The objection was that the citation was overly broad, covering 50 pages. I conceded that point, 50 pages was indeed far more pages than should have been necessary to support the claim being asserted. Chino-Catane (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Stop using edit summaries as talk page, and stop POV pushing. Beshogur (talk) 22:37, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thank you, and I greatly appreciate you letting me know my mistake. In conclusion, this type of references can be either be paraphrased or with limited quotations, for example: “The Normans didn’t have the intention of suppressing English, and French borrowings in English occurred from passive knowledge of the language rather than active use.” It can be like that? Mr. Information1409 (talk) 23:17, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. That's still very very close to the wording in the source. Diannaa (talk) 03:52, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, more in my words then. Mr. Information1409 (talk) 15:57, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking

Please stop WP:OVERLINKing common terms and countries in Wikipedia articles. We do not link countries and peoples that native English speakers would be aware of and know. Continuing to reinsert links to such common terms is considered disruptive editing. Canterbury Tail talk 16:00, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Wikipedia operates by using reliable sources. Please note that an edit summary of you saying you believe something or that you read something is not a source. Many of your edits, while no doubt made with the best intentions, appear not to be supported by sources. Jeppiz (talk) 19:33, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right, I’m just doing my edits taking into account the consensus, advices from more experienced users and sources that clearly appear in pages, my latest editions in the Kingdom of England that you reverted were exactly based on what I initially stated here. Mr. Information1409 (talk) 19:54, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Middle Scots, 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. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mutt, I didn't add unsourced assertions, I just changed ancestors according to this source: "Such chronological terminology is widely used, for example, by Scottish Language Dictionaries Ltd. (Formally SNDA), Dr. Anne King Archived 16 June 2006 at the Wayback Machine of The University of Edinburgh Archived 18 August 2006 at the Wayback Machine and by The University of Glasgow Archived 18 December 2005 at the Wayback Machine. It is also used in The Oxford Companion to the English Language and The Cambridge History of English and American Literature.", which I found in the page "History of the Scots language" (Scots doesn't descend from Middle English, rather Old English).
Secondly, I'm aware that when making edits I have to give a reliable source, and if it's not needed like that case (just fixing ancestors) then I give it concisely in the edit summary, but what happened is that because there is a limited number of letters we can put in the summary then I said where I got the reference, and that's exactly what happened.
But upon a deep watch of this reference in the article of the Scots language: Alexander Bergs, Modern Scots, Languages of the World series, № 242 (Bow Historical Books, 2001), ISBN 978-3-89586-513-8, pp. 4, 50. "Scots developed out of a mixture of Scandinavianised Northern English during the early Middle English period.... Scots originated as one form of Northern Old English and quickly developed into a language in its own right up to the seventeenth century.", I started to question myself if the edit was wrong, and thankfully you reverted it and you messaged me in my talk page, if there is any confusion regarding the evolution of Scots, I will investigate it further and tell more deeply if I can the references when it comes to fixing things and not adding supposedly unsourced assertions but telling the exact link or source I get it, if that was my mistake that you are trying to make me see.

In conclusion, my supposed unsourced assertion isn’t because I didn’t tell the southern directly, rather I didn’t have the enough space to tell it, just the pase where I found it, that's all.

Regards! Mr. Information1409 (talk) 03:41, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It would be worthwhile working on concision, in your summaries and in talk. Also, read back what you write before posting as some of the above makes no apparent sense, I'm guessing because of typos or possibly predictive text (e.g. "I didn’t tell the southern directly"?). If you can't fit your explanation into an edit summary, that's a good indication you need to go to talk, particularly if the edit summary does not explain or justify the edit. Per WP:CIRCULAR, you must not use Wikipedia as a source for itself. Best. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:11, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Source, not southern, I got confused, but thanks for knowing my willingness to improve. Mr. Information1409 (talk) 14:14, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please slow down and take some care to check your facts before you edit. I keep encountering sweeping, ill-considered changes by you, at multiple articles, the latest only being these ones. Particularly, if you come across a longstanding, stable article, if the facts differ from your understanding, it is your understanding you should check first and only if and once you are very sure the article is wrong, check again and just maybe make a change. 23:12, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
