Second Schleswig War
I have just reverted your recent change to Second Schleswig War. I don't think you can add possibly-controversial new material based on a book that has not yet been published. The book needs to be published before it is referred to in Wikipedia otherwise the new content is original research. Will the book be self-published? - I could not see a publisher in the review. You of course need a chance to read it before referring to it anyway.

Both book and review are in Danish, we should normally avoid relying on foreign-language references for basic confirmation of material that people may doubt - if there is no suitable secondary English reference the material is probably not suitable for the English Wikipedia.

The citation was incomplete, missing author, title and date details which were available in the review and an access date. Mirokado (talk) 03:02, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Please see the ongoing conversation about related updates at User talk:Thue. It will I think be better to have all the discussion there to avoid the three of us talking at cross purposes. Mirokado (talk) 11:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC) °

Ways to improve Onesie (UK)
Hi, I'm Anne Delong. Twid, thanks for creating Onesie (UK)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please say more about the clothing and less about celebrities.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Down feather
Hi Twid: Just a question. Today in the down feather article, you changed an accent from what was shown in the reference (the Merriam-Webster online dictionary site) to something else, saying it was "normally written" with acute accents. Is it appropriate to change this when the reference shows otherwise? It would be great to have a proper reference for the new spelling, as I'm slowly working this article up for a try at GA. Thanks for your help. MeegsC (talk) 04:19, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi MeegsC, English-language reference works sometimes use macrons instead of acute accents when they quote Old Norse (I guess it's to make it look more like Old English, but I don't know that for a fact). As for the standard usage, see Old Norse: "The standardized orthography marks the long vowels with an acute accent". --Twid (talk) 12:44, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
