Scottish and British monarchs

edit

Thanks for being bold YeshuaDavid. I reverted the merging of these templates though. Putting the English and British monarchs on one template, I can see that. But it's doubling up if you do it on the Scottish one too, and there just no point. Unwieldy, and if you're gonna do that you might as well keep separate templates entirely. Cheers, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:32, 7 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I can see your point about duplication, although that only applies to later British monarchs, and I think there's strong reasons for keeping the changes; a user on the Queen Elizabeth I page would find it useful if the list of English monarchs didn't seem to end with Queen Anne. Also, as far as I can tell, you haven't made any reverts. YeshuaDavidTalk15:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Correction, I see you've reverted the Scottish ones. Fair enough. YeshuaDavidTalk16:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The English & Scottish monarchs end with Queen Anne. The British monarchs begin with Queen Anne. GoodDay (talk) 21:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Slightly more complex than that, the process of consolidating the two realms really began under James, and were relatively integrated before the Act of Union (1707). In any case, you can hardly deny that there is continuity between the English and British monarchs. YeshuaDavidTalk21:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

See my talk-page, for response. GoodDay (talk) 21:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

If you're the fellow who create Template: English and British monarchs? Why is there a Template: British monarchs? Where's Template: Scottish and British monarchs? GoodDay (talk) 15:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I created "Template:Pictish, Scottish and British monarchs" (I didn't do anthing with "Template:British monarchs") but Deacon of Pndapetzim reverted it. See the revision history of "Template:Pictish and Scottish Monarchs". YeshuaDavidTalk

RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles

edit

A second RfC has been started on sourcing for Eurovision articles, you can view it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles. This RfC is critical as it will help determine how current and future Eurovision articles are sourced, and as much participation as possible is needed for a consensus to develop. You are being notified as you are listed as an active user of Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision, and hence the results of this RfC could have a large impact on the articles you edit.

Michael Jackson archive

edit

Hi - I'm not sure you intended it, but don't think you should have archived all of that stuff to Talk: Michael Jackson/Archive 26 - some of it was less than 2 days old and the bot is supposed to do it. Maybe I'm missing something - but could you figure out how to undo what you did? Ongoing discussions should stay on the page until after 2 days, right? Thanks Tvoz/talk 20:20, 28 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm told it was archived because someone asked for it to be shortened - still I think too much was taken off. Two days is a short archive and you have to give people a chance to reply. Even at its height we had Talk: Barack Obama at three days, and that's a very active talk page. I know we have a search box, but in my opinion this was over-zealous. If consensus is to take it all off, ok, but I don't see a discussion. Maybe I'm missing it. Not a huge deal, but I thought it should be mentioned. Tvoz/talk 20:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
OK, I did it - moved the stuff from today back and it'll be auto archived. I think that's enough - just wanted you to know about the auto archiving. Tvoz/talk 00:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Template: Pictish and Scottish monarchs

edit

I'm also planning on splitting that article, too. I wish to do these changes partially because their corresponding articles are also split. See List of Kings of the Picts, List of Scottish monarchs, List of English monarchs & List of British monarchs. -- GoodDay (talk) 20:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'll give it another few days, to allow others to have their say. GoodDay (talk) 20:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Administrator-in-question, has absolutely no intentions of 'splitting' that Template. GoodDay (talk) 19:30, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Template:English and British monarchs

edit

Another option, would be to include the Scottish monarchs into the Template (while also making a seperate English monarchs Template). A Template: English, Scottish and British monarchs is workable. GoodDay (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

It's important to show that the Scottish & English monarchs are equally predecessors of the British monarchs. GoodDay (talk) 20:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

As there'll be a Template: Pictish monarchs (I hope), there can also be Template: Northumbrian monarchs, Template: Wessex monarchs, Template: Strathclyde monarchs etc. GoodDay (talk) 20:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'll give it another few days, to allow others to have a say. GoodDay (talk) 20:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Trying to add the Scottish monarchs & re-naming it Template: English, Scottish and British monarchs? was too daunting a task. GoodDay (talk) 18:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
You're free to attemp it. PS: Allow the Template: English monarchs to remain, though. GoodDay (talk) 19:00, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'm gonna split Template: Pictish and Scottish monarchs, as there doesn't appear to be any opposition to it. GoodDay (talk) 19:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
(Sheepishly asking) Do you know how to split Templates? GoodDay (talk) 19:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Oh yeah, I forgot. After the super-template is completed? We'll have to 'nominate' Template: English monarchs & Template:Scottish monarchs for TfD (after breaking away the Picts). GoodDay (talk) 19:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations, on the birth of a new Template. GoodDay (talk) 19:45, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm alright with changing Template:English monarchs & Template:Pictish and Scottish monarchs to re-directs. I believe though, that will have to be discussed on those respective Templates. PS: There might be a resistances to this, on the latter. GoodDay (talk) 19:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand why JK, or anybody would want to try to exclude the Scottish monarchs. GoodDay (talk) 20:00, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

All project members are encouraged to read the RfC thoroughly and then cast their votes as they see fit. Rationales are still encouraged in the main discussion area above the poll, and participants can add appropriate new sources or options to the poll as they wish.

Hello. I saw that you added this map to Anti-miscegenation laws and Interracial marriage in the United States. I'm writing because the map contains incorrect information.

United States Constitution; discussion page; translations

edit

I replied to your June 23 question on the discussion page for United States Constitution. You asked, "Is there any point to this section? The Constitution has obviously been translated into Turkish, Farsi and Serbian, to name just a few missing languages." In response, I asked for the sources for those three translations. I am collecting as many translations as I can find, and these citations will be welcome. Thank you. Broadcaster101 (talk) 23:37, 19 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've done a few google searches and I couldn't find anything particuarly obvious. I'm sure they exist though; the US Constitution is one of the few international documents, like the Bible, the US Decleration of Independence or the Magna Carta that are studied in schools in Europe and beyond. They may not appear on the internet, however. YeshuaDavidTalk16:23, 21 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:15, 15 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
