Disambiguation link notification for May 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Noble House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page House of Holland ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Noble_House check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Noble_House?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). 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.)

English families
Please stop these undiscussed and undoubtedly controversial moves to the un-English "House of Foo" style. I'm pretty sure the "House of ..." style was rejected for English families in an Rfc or something. There was certainly this Cfd. They will probably all have to be reversed, which is a considerable pain. Johnbod (talk) 02:36, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * are you referring to the United Kingdom section of the List of noble houses article? If so It would appear that numerous families listed link only to a title (which can over time be used by multiple families). I will make some adjustments to the page to reflect this.

Depth
Re the Larman article, it's not a matter of asserting in an edit comment that a source provides depth - that's a matter only for dispute; the solution is to supply the actual depth by paraphrasing (or even quoting in brief) the source to prove that depth exists, and to state clearly what the in-depth interest, i.e. notability, the source provides. Otherwise the right response is to delete the sources as adding nothing of significance. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:24, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Cluster of citespam and astroturfing accounts
Per issues on Canford School, in particular this edit where you sourced a Brice Stratford link to a publication with incomplete publication data, which may not exist under the name you gave it (see article talk). You appear to have abandoned this account, which follows the pattern noted in the SPI, and noted on the pages listed below:
