I am sorry I had to disagree with you so much, but you are proposing titles which are against many conventions. If you strongly believe that titles of those articles should be changed, please refer to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility). Surtsicna (talk) 19:12, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Can I add that it's good to see someone taking an interest in these articles and their titles, and please don't think you are the only one who disagrees - but there has been much debate in the past and the naming convention is in accordance with the standard practices of both historians and encyclopaedists. If you read back through the archived debates, you will find many other arguments that ehlp explain why we came to this conclusion. Deb (talk) 12:38, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Confirmed
Your request was malformed and thus was removed, however you don't have to request again. This because you're already autoconfirmed, also you have made 10 edits and your account is more than 4 days old. This means you can already edits semi-protected pages. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0  21:18, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

"Malformed?" Wonderful term. But I followed the directions, didn't I? Perhaps they're misshapen or in some other way misleading or inadequate? :-) In any case, I tried to improve the article "Rome." Has my competence been extended to doing that? Thanks for your kind attention,Torontonian1 (talk) 23:56, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well you didn't. Otherwise your request wouldn't look like this, but more like this. You didn't follow the instructions for requests, at the time you edited the page, thus your request was malformed. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0  00:14, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Although the distinction between a malformed request and a well-formed one is still opaque to me, I was able to edit the article in question after my request. Alls well ... Torontonian1 (talk) 14:46, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Arbitrary changes from AD to CE

Disambiguation link notification for February 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Centre for Inquiry Canada, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Halifax (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.
