Ref fixups on Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke
Hi there, and thanks for your efforts. I wish do do fixups on the refs (see the article talk page), but I see that you are actively editing. Please let me know when you intend to take a break. -Arch dude (talk) 18:15, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll do it now. For a new editor, you are doing just fine and I'm impressed. We do get a bit paranoid about copyright, and it can be extremely frustrating, but I think you are working around it fairly well. I hope to show that at least some of the material is from the very old public-domain version. -Arch dude (talk) 18:49, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, I've completed the ref fixups. You might want to read the old DNB article as it appears to have the bulk of what was in new one, albeit in a Victorian tone. I took liberty of dong a few non-DNB ref fixups. I'm fairly sure we can now assert that the article no longer has a copyright problem, but I'll let the experts take a look. -Arch dude (talk) 04:53, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you still have access to the ODNB article? I do not, so I cannot comment on whether or not you have edited out the copyrighted "creative" content (sentence structure, word choice, arrangement ...) while retaining the non-copyrightable facts. We may need to get help, but if so we should ask now instead of waiting for the guys at WP:CP to do it. I have never actually gotten involved with this, because I always started from the DNB articles instead. I generally did a direct copy of the DNB article, added an attribution, and then began editing. This worked because the original's copyright has expired. the attribution is to avoid plagiarism (i.e., unattributed copying) not to comply with copyright law. Attribution will not work for us in this article, because plagiarism and copyright are actually completely separate issues. -Arch dude (talk) 02:40, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism
This page is subject to repeated vandalism and has already beeen commented on before by Wikipedia editors https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ernest_Shackleton&oldid=854658606 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nileobroin (talk • contribs) 21:51, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at England shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -Snowded TALK 21:11, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Your edit of Cambro-Normans
Your edit of Cambro-Normans at 18:56 on 6 November 2018 needs a citation to support your claims that "The term Cambro-Norman is rarely used even in Ireland. The Normans who invaded Ireland are commonly described as Anglo-Normans by modern historians or simply English." O&#39;Dea (talk) 02:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
