Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to British Royal Family. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. bodnotbod (talk) 10:50, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Diana, Princess of Wales
...was styled, after her divorce, like a divorced peeress – DBD 14:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

"The" before Prince or Princess
Hi, I saw your edit at Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and I wondered was it correct. I think Catherine would only be "The Princess William" if her husband were "The Prince William" (leaving aside his Duke of Cambridge title). And I think he'll only become "The Prince William" when Charles becomes King. I've left a query at the article's talk page. Thanks. Girlwithgreeneyes (talk) 23:28, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Template:Angels in Abrahamic Religions
So, why did you remove the italics again? Or add them, in the case of Michael and Gabriel? Are you suggesting that they are not "recognized by all denominations."? StAnselm (talk) 10:26, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

EIIR infobox
Please stop reverting at Elizabeth II. There was a long-standing consensus version for that infobox section that you overrode a month ago without a new consensus and are trying to impose again over a subsequent change. I am almost finished putting together something at Talk:Elizabeth II. You should undo your last revert; but, at least please discuss the change you want to make at the talk page. -- Ħ   MIESIANIACAL  16:58, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Your edit to the infobox was correct, Keivan. Except that you should've placed it below the image. GoodDay (talk) 23:59, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

OK! I think that's right. Keivan.f Talk 09:56, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe you've been on Wikipedia long enough to know that, when your edit is quickly reverted, you should be seeking a consensus for your change at the article's associated talk page; you saw that only just a few days ago when you tried to alter the infobox at Elizabeth II. The infobox you are now trying to replace at List of titles and honours of Charles, Prince of Wales has been in place since November of 2008; consensus by silence is obviously well established. Please take the matter to the talk page, thanks. -- Ħ   MIESIANIACAL  16:12, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Fermentation Family. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed.

 * Reverter's note: the "Gook" part was removed.  "Gook" is a slur to Asians, I hardly think that's the correct last name for him, given that.

I don't know about you...
...but I'm pretty sure the Duke of Cambridge is a child of the heir apparent. DBD 15:42, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries. We just need to find a capable artist who would create new versions... DBD 16:24, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Corbin Bleu
I can't help but notice your sudden interest in Corbin Bleu, which seems completely different from your normal field of interest. We have a problem with a banned Farsi-speaking editor that occasionally contacts people and attempts to get them to edit Corbin Bleu related articles on his behalf. He is a banned editor, and no editor should edit on his behalf. Has he contacted you?&mdash;Kww(talk) 12:34, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know his real life identity. We primarily deal with him under his Chace Watson account, but he has falsely claimed to be dozens of people, include me. What prompted your sudden interest in Corbin Bleu?&mdash;Kww(talk) 17:11, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Damon Salvatore Page
I dont know what gave the impression but I haven't made the current Damon Salvatore page. Yes I made it a long time ago but that was deleted by a moderator so i never tried to get into it again. Nasirakd (talk) 15:05, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Princess
Why did you revert my edits? It is not necessary to specify that their occupation is the Prince or Princess of Japan. This is not cited on other royal articles of other nations. Furthermore, both the infobox and article already make the statement perfectly clear. These people do not have occupations, they are born into royalty. ★ Dasani ★ 03:57, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Princess Takamado
Hello! A widow is only called dowager if the new holder of the title is married. For example, if the Duke of X dies and his successor is unmarried or he has no successor at all, then his wife remains Duchess of X. Anyway, having a succession box makes no sense if there is no succession, don't you think? If a person is the first and so far only holder of the title, there is no need for a succession box. Cheers, Surtsicna (talk) 10:26, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi again! When the subject of the article is a consort, the parameters 'predecessor' and 'successor' are not used. Infoboxes are supposed to contain essential information only and when it comes to consorts, that's hardly essential. I think there is a manual of some sorts somewhere. I'll look it up if you wish. Surtsicna (talk) 12:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I think other articles are fine. If you encounter one that's not, feel free to fix it :) Surtsicna (talk) 12:23, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Shigeko Higashikuni. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 00:39, 26 May 2012 (UTC)


 * That wasn't an unsourced edit. I just added her Royal name in Japanese and of course her full name. Keivan.f  Talk 05:11, 26 May 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, but you'll need to include a source for any claimed religious affiliation. --DAJF (talk) 05:30, 26 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course but for example about her title or royal name there are enough sources in the article. Keivan.f  Talk 05:34, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Lady Ogilvy
Hi, re this undo, this is a title assigned to a royal, this is Her Higness' official title making it royal. See her official title on the title and styles section of her article. I didn't want to undo your undo as I thought it would be better to come to a mutual agreement! Cheers--Chip123456 (talk) 15:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Ancestry charts
Hello! The ancestry of the Empress of Japan is nothing but trivia. You will find no reliable source mentioning her mother's father's mother or any great-grandparent whatsoever. The Queen of Spain's ancestry is notable, however, as she was not a commoner before marriage but a princess of Greece and princess of Denmark. There are no ancestry sections in articles about other former-commoner-consorts (and if there are, there shouldn't be); see, for example, the articles about the Queen of Sweden and the Queen of Norway. Surtsicna (talk) 11:50, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Of course, this is true for Japanese princesses by marriage as well. Surtsicna (talk) 12:32, 17 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I really don't understand you. About Michiko you were right, but about Masako you are wrong. Firstly, her ancestry isn't trivial secondly Masako is a daughter of a famous diplomat and she comes from a notable family. Keivan.f  Talk 12:45, 17 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The Crown Princess's father is notable, of course, and he is mentioned in the article. His father's mother, however, is not (just an example). There is no reason to have the ahnentafel just to show her relationship to her father, who is already mentioned several times in the article. Besides, such unsourced and contentious information must not be inserted into the article about a living person per WP:BLP. Please don't revert anymore; if you believe the ancestry chart is useful for some reason, find reliable sources and we will discuss it. Surtsicna (talk) 12:49, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As for the ancestries, I hope you understand my point. If their ancestries were significant in any aspect, I wouldn't oppose including the ahnentafels. However, they did not become what they are due to their ancestries; the fact that the Crown Princess's mother's father's mother was a woman named Yoneko is not relevant to any aspect of her life. Wikipedia is not a geneaological database. Surtsicna (talk) 13:11, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

I must tell you I was under impression that you were French. I do not know why. I had no idea Keivan was a Muslim name. What language does it come from? Surtsicna (talk) 12:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I was asking because I am Muslim too and I had never heard of it before. I like it nevertheless :) Surtsicna (talk) 13:06, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Masako Sen


The article Masako Sen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 19:25, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Photo of Duke & Duchess of Cambridge
Hi Keivan,

You took a good photo of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but unfortunately it was added to an inappropriate part of the article - ideally we should have had a picture of the chateau at that place as that would link into the section.

Good luck with your photography - why don't you look at articles connected with the area where you live - some are probably lacking good photographs - in that way you can make a real contribution to Wikipeadia.

Best wishes Martinvl (talk) 15:42, 29 October 2012 (UTC)


 * OK! You are right. :) Keivan.f  Talk 15:47, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Date format
Hi! I saw this edit of yours. I restored the original date format. See WP:DATE. Please do not change the date format. If you have changed the format of other articles without checking the original format, please check it and undo your changes if necessary. Please remember, most of the Japan-related articles use the mdy format. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 06:46, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Well! I don't understand why the Japan-related articles use the mdy format but I think you are right. Keivan.f  Talk 15:28, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Replacability
Until Princess Yoko dies, pictures of her are replaceable. There are probably thousands of private snapshots. You could fly to Japan and take one yourself if you so chose. NFCC#1 doesn't mean that you have a replacement handy, it means that one could be made.&mdash;Kww(talk) 14:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Firuze / Hümeyra
Selam Keivan,

Only in the last episode she appeared, it was mentioned that her real name is "Hümeyra". During all the episodes she was called Firuze. If you would ask people who follow the series, more than 90% will not remember the real name. Several Women in the Harem changed their name, Aleksandra/Hürrem being the most prominent one. So i don't think it is necessary to mention this name here. Arved (talk) 10:18, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I also checked Turkish Wikipedia and I saw that that name was written in her roles. But if it isn't really necessary, you can remove that name. Keivan.f  Talk 08:19, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Muhteşem Yüzyıl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sultana (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Templates
Is there an explanation for the template changes? removing the steps? (Monkelese (talk) 17:01, 10 July 2013 (UTC))
 * Those sections should include family members, not stepfamily members. Keivan.f  Talk 17:15, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, I must say that I removed the steps from all those templates. (Templates of Diana, Camilla and William) Keivan.f  Talk 17:17, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Farsi help needed
Hello Keivan.f, I'm contacting you because we need some Farsi translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on fa.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Farsi Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 19:52, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi! Of course I will be really happy if I help you with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on fa.wikipedia and also your personal message. I also should say that I'm sorry for answering after a week, but tell me every time you want for helping you in Persian translating. Keivan.f  Talk 14:33, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey Keivan, thanks for getting in touch. First priority is making a page on fa.wiki that describes the VisualEditor, so interested fa.wiki users can find out more about it.  You could translate this page: [VE Portal (or a shorter version, whatever you have time for), and we could copy it over to fa.wiki.  This would also give Farsi wikipedians a place to leave comments and bug reports.  Let me know what you have time to do, [[User:PEarley (WMF)|PEarley (WMF)]] (talk) 18:56, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
