Death and euphemisms
Hi Taksen, you introduced a euphemism for death into the article on the Chevalier de Saint-Georges. According to the Manual of Style this is explicitly to be avoided. ("The goal is to express ideas clearly and directly"). Scarabocchio (talk) 01:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Execution of Louis XVI into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. From Maximilien Robespierre —Matrix(!) (a good person!)&#91;Citation not needed at all; thank you very much&#93; 17:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I moved text from the article on Robespierre which I added there through the years. Now someone is deleting a lot of (referenced) information. I try to safe all these precious details, but did not know I have to use this template. It looks complicated to me. Taksen (talk) 21:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:26, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Zwanenburg
I'd asked this on the Lastage article, but I was able to find the answer to the question through the sources provided.

https://www.theobakker.net/pdf/vlooienburg.pdf

According to Mr. Bakker's articles, it's pretty clear this island west of Vlooienburg was called "Zwanenburg," which is kind of what I'd guessed. And what else is made clear is that at least part of this land was already in existence; it was simply expanded deeper into the Amstel along with The Vlooienburg. So this should help with both the Dutch and English language articles which deal with this area of the old city. Criticalthinker (talk) 10:33, 27 May 2024 (UTC)


 * According to the indexes there is no place called "Zwanenburg" inside Amsterdam. Good luck.Taksen (talk) 19:21, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
