Duckworth vs Wentworth ?.
Tell the truth.

His daughter, Virginia Woolf, was badly affected by his death and she was cared for by his sister, Caroline.[4] Woolf in 1922 created a detailed psychological portrait of him in the fictional character of Mr. Ramsay in her classic novel, To the Lighthouse, (as well as of her mother as Mrs. Ramsay). (Ref: The Diaries and Letters of Virginia Woolf) His probate is worded: STEPHEN sir Leslie of 22 Hyde Park-gate Middlesex K.C.B. probate London 23 March to George Herbert Duckworth and Gerald de L'Etang Duckworth ?.

Edit summaries
"Meaningful addition" is not a meaningful edit summary. Please see WP:SUMMARYNO for more info about to use this feature. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 23:59, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, this is not a meaningful addition. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 00:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You are continuing to misuse the "edit summary" feature of Wikipedia. You are supposed to say something useful there, not this "meaningful addition" crap you keep littering edit histories with. Please learn how to use Wikipedia correctly. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 19:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I definitely get it. But you really holds no regard for good manners. -User:Tewje (talk) 11:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Barbara Blackman O'Neil
Hi! I see you made a change to the Barbara Blackman O'Neil article. I'm glad you're interested in the topic and in including maiden names in leads. That is so important on Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit. I do so because the maiden name was already in the lead. Another reason is that leads should begin with the article title unless there is a reason not to do so. You can read a bit more about that here. And there is in the existence of the Barbara O'Neil: Blackman O'Neil's daughter is more widely well-known, so we wouldn't have to have two articles that begin "Barbara O'Neil" like that. Finally, "meaningful addition" isn't a descriptive edit summary, and it rather raises a red flag. Let me know if you have questions by leaving a message here (I'll watch the page for a few days) or going to my talk page and leaving a message there. Thanks! --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 18:53, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Watch what you're doing, please
I reverted this edit that appeared on my watchlist because it is confused and misleading; that led me to spot-check a few of your other recent edits, and after looking at just a couple I found this one, which breaks parentheses that previously were correctly paired, and this one, which caused the text to disagree with the cited source. Also, your edit summaries are terribly undescriptive. Please be more careful! --JBL (talk) 23:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)


 * You've made five further edits since my previous message, and one of them contains another egregious error. (Did you not notice that the sentence was incomprehensible after your edit?  Did you not notice that the word "Chaya" did not appear anywhere else in the page?)  This is an extremely high rate of errors considering how non-substantive most of your edits are.  --JBL (talk) 01:32, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

In this one the cited source is clearly wrong as the Greek name Βασιλική is rendered in the Latin alphabet as Vasiliki or Vassiliki, but not Vassilikki because the letter κ can only be rendered as k (a single letter, NOT double) while the letter σ is commonly rendered as double S in Latin alphabet. --User:Tewje (talk) 12:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I am not interested in arguing with you about your own original research; I am interested in you changing the way you edit so that it does not introduce errors at a high rate. Please acknowledge your errors, and indicate how you plan to reduce their frequency.  Something more substantive than your statement four weeks ago that you would use better edit summaries (which you have not done) would be ideal. --JBL (talk) 13:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

That's the point, it's not an error. This was not "my own original research" but just a simple research (that you could have done too) on the name and it's really clear that the cited source is wrong. Several other sources (ALMOST ALL, if you didn't understand) reported name as Vassiliki (NOT Vassilikki). Furthermore I use to acknowledge my errors when I actually made errors. --User:Tewje (talk) 14:09 16 June 2020 (UTC)


 * If you make an edit to Wikipedia so that content is attached to a citation that contradicts it, you have certainly made an error. If you do "just a simple research" you are doing original research, unless you produce appropriate sources.  You have also certainly not acknowledged your errors, nor articulated a plan to make fewer of them.  If you continue in these poor habits (including the use of meaningless edit summaries like "correcting mistake"), I will seek administrative action against you. --JBL (talk) 18:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Ricky Lauren
I had to modify your edits to the Ricky Lauren article, because you made edits without adding sources for your changes. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of reliable sources for her personal life info - and it's better to leave out information than add content that isn't properly cited by a reliable source.

Please look at the content in the cited sources first. If it doesn't have the information that you want to add, then you need to find a reliable source, like a book, newspaper, magazine... or a very reliable website with editorial control.

Thanks much!–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:53, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
