Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Sebastian Ulick Browne

Hello there I see you you edit Sebastian Ulick Browne page I am wondering if you have any proof of this as I am a local historian and I have questioned him have titles myself any help would be grate thanks your sincerely Joshua Joshua5252 (talk) 19:54, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Which part exactly would you like to know more about?

As for sources, the current list of what one might call "legally recognised" peers is contained in the Roll of the Peerage that can be found here from the College of Arms. The Marquess of Sligo is not included in this list, as Browne has yet prove succession to the title. The royal warrant from 2004 that established the roll can also be found on the College of Arms here. Section 3 is the relevant part, which deals with peers not on the roll and how they are not entitled to precedence by virtue of their title.

Publications such as Debretts and Burkes typically include all peers whether they have proven succession or not. However, it must be stressed that these are commercial publications, not official/legal documents. So although Debretts might list Sebastian Browne as the 12th Marquess of Sligo, officially he is only 'Mr Sebastian Browne' and isn't entitled to any of the (now extremely diminished) privileges of being a peer. Although as mentioned before, some sources will still call him the Marquess of Sligo regardless.

Let me know if I can help more, although I can't guarantee I will be able to because I don't known much about Browne specifically. Editing with Eric (talk) 22:21, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for getting back to you so late but I have been up to my eyes with work and family thank you for getting back to me I grateful appreciate the links you sent on they make for very interesting reading it’s strange that he is calling him self the 12 marquee of Sligo but not on the links you sent on I am from Westport co mayo where the Browne’s have there family estate but there was always a question over him That is father ulick Browne was not of the Browne’s at all and was swapped in for a child that died any more help would be gratefully appreciated hope to here back from you Joshua5252 (talk) 16:18, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Churchill war ministry

Hello, Eric. I saw your thank you message in my notifications and it is appreciated. The SPI produced a positive result and the other account has been blocked indefinitely. I see that you are very interested in UK politics and I wondered if you might be able to assist with Churchill war ministry after its freeze is lifted tonight. It needs a lot of work to bring it up to standard, especially sourcing. Anyway, thanks again and all the best. Take good care and stay safe. No Great Shaker (talk) 06:07, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

It's all good, I had also noticed the user in question contributing and strongly suspected sock puppetry to be at play (though couldn't pinpoint who the sockmaster was which made me reluctant to request a CheckUser myself). They knew way too much for a 'new' editor and were extremely controlling of the article. Regarding the article; as Opera hat pointed out a lot of the bare facts (i.e. appointee names and dates) are contained in the Butler & Butler source, I own this book as well so can use it to help in referencing. I also agree with them that the office-name-term format works better for a list of this nature. I'll reread the article talk page later and may add my thoughts to the discussion there. Thanks, Editing with Eric (talk) 08:51, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, Eric. It does look as if there is a consensus for office as primary key so I'll do a bit of adaptation to set that as default. As long as it's sortable, the readers can get a view by minister as well.

I admit I was a bit lucky with the SPI because I suspected the wrong account controller. I assumed it must be someone who had previously edited that article. Oh, well. Thanks again. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:32, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
