Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information to articles without explaining why, as you did to Æthelred I of Wessex. Thank you. Remsense 留  23:53, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I was trying to fix the age of the king of wessex. I know that 871-848=23, but if Aethelred didn't have his birthday, then he would be 22. 136.56.192.124 (talk) 00:00, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's appreciated. However, especially on featured articles, this information is usually directly sourced and is listed as is for a good reason. if you think a listed number might be wrong but don't have a source saying so, it's worth mentioning on the talk page first to make sure there isn't something you're missing first, since tiny edits like these can go unnoticed for a long time. all that is to say, thank you for contributing, cheers!

 * I have done this in a lot of related articles. And also what do you mean by poorly referenced? 136.56.192.124 (talk) 00:13, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Statements on Wikipedia need to be verifiable: every claim should ideally be supported by a reliable sources. Generally, basic mathematical calculations are allowed and do not constitute original research, which generally is not allowed, but ages can be tricky! Plenty of easy to miss errors there. Generally, on featured articles, every single statement in the entire text is directly sourced to a book, journal, or other strong source, sometimes multiple per claim. So if a featured article lists an age that gives you pause, there is likely a subtle reason for that can be found by checking the sources cited at the bottom of the article. sometimes, infoboxes omit inline citations, but their information is still supposed to be drawn from those sources. cheers!

 * Thank you for telling me, and when I said that I did this to related articles, I'm talking about some of the english kings. 136.56.192.124 (talk) 00:32, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
