Welcome!

Hello, AlanBreck, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV), and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me. Again, welcome! Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * So you disagree that Henry VIII executed two of his wives? -AlanBreck (talk) 01:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Not in the least. Where I would disagree is the use of the word murder. Henry had his wives done to death, but murder them he did not. Everything was legal and above board. He was, the evil old bastard that he was, the king of England, and could have people killed for any reason or none at all. Here we're aiming to write an encyclopedia. We follow the herd. If David Starkey or the like say Henry was a murderer, murderer is what he was. If they don't, as I understand to be the case, then he isn't. But you'd be better off discussing this at Talk:Henry VIII of England or Talk:Elizabeth I of England. It's always best to discuss controversial changes on the talk page of an article.

Edits to Ireland
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Sciurinæ 21:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
