Welcome from Redwolf24
Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (Redwolf24 02:24, 10 July 2005 (UTC)) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (Redwolf24) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

P.S. I like messages :-P

Re:
Anything you contribute while not signed in you won't receive credit for. Next time when you login click remember me. Don't worry about losing just 1 or 2 edits though. I'm at 800 edits though I've lost perhap 20 as an IP address, no big deal. :) Oh and PLEASE sign with the four ~'s, rather than saying -V. Thanks :) Redwolf24 02:31, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Bennett
Please be advised that as RB Bennett did not become a viscount until after he was Prime Minister (and Tory leader) he should not be listed as Viscount Bennett in the historical list of Tory leaders as this suggests he was a viscount while in office. (Similarly, in the list of UK Prime Ministers, we do not list Lady Thatcher, Sir Edward Heath. Lord Wilson etc as these were not their titles while in office). We should try to avoid granting titles retroactively (similarly, in the Nickle Resolution article, it was Edward Heath who was UK Prime Minister, not Sir Edward Heath).

List of country names in various languages under attack !!!
Dear Vancouveriensis,

The List of country names in various languages, List of European regions with alternative names, List of European cities with alternative names, List of European rivers with alternative names, and others, have come under attack by a certain Mikka, who, having just stumbled into all these lists, having found them of little use to himself, and having repeatedly ridiculed them and their users, has then promptly filed a petition to delete the lists in question.

Please cast your vote to keep these valuable, informative, and indeed fascinating lists at Articles for deletion/List of country names in various languages.

Thanks! 69.25.77.51 16:48, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

William Mackintosh
You appear to be getting confused. Please write at least a stub biography for the Canadian person before trying to add him to the disambiguation page. PatGallacher 01:59, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Duncan Mackintosh
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Duncan Mackintosh, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 11:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Duncan Mackintosh
An editor has nominated Duncan Mackintosh, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ernley Blackwell


The article Ernley Blackwell has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Casement is very notable, but a "legal assistant" "associated with" there's no real assertion of notability here.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Scott Mac (Doc) 00:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, in answer to whoever wants this page deleted, it should first be understood that his title was not simply legal assistant. Moreover, as there are 211 references to him as 'Ernley Blackwell' via a google advanced book search and an additional 30+ references to him as 'Blackwell, Ernley', his significance is perhaps greater that the would-be deleter is aware. A glance at the list of publications revealed via google shows that his relevance stretches from his own lifetime to books published since 2000.Vancouveriensis (talk) 09:19, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220.101 User talk:220.101.28.25\ 17:18, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Charles Herbert Mackintosh
We would like to trace certain details about the ancestry of Mackintosh. As the references are not quite clear, we would be most grateful if further detail of sources can be added or that we could enter into discussion on the talk pages.

In particular we are pursuing details about the connection to Colonel Dickinson of Jamaica and the Raffles.

With many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldoxonian (talk • contribs) 02:57, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Burke's Peerage. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burke%27s_Peerage&action=history page history]. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

 * Dear Vancouveriensis, as I understand, you have personal conflict with Mr. Rafal Heydel-Mankoo (this you declared here. This is your personal problem and please do not disrupt wikipedia with your subjective problems. Mr. Rafal Heydel-Mankoo is co-editor of "World Orders", as can be seen on title page of this great book, or in Google Books, Amazon, Alibris and Barnes and Noble. And please, do not lie, as you do in this edit - in 0:40 minute is visible name of Mr. Rafal Heydel-Mankoo, not "Harpal". I hope, that you understand, you can be blocked for this, as you violate WP:COI, WP:LIBEL and WP:WAR.--Yopie (talk) 14:13, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Dear Yopie. Rafal Heydel-Mankoo is not co-editor of that work. The work had an editor, Mr G.S. Sainty, and an assistant. He was deputy editor, which is a sub-editorial position. I have not lied in any edit as you so rashly state, I have entered the person in question's actual name in lieu of the one he uses for self-promotional purposes. At most you can accuse me of being contextually inaccurate or obscure while engaging in a form of strict accuracy. Vancouveriensis (talk) 22:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Yopie (talk) 14:14, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

I am sorry but i am not an expert at wikipedia. the colleague that handles wiki entries is away....i am respectfully asking that Vancouveriensis leave our Sicilian nobility page alone. We spent a great deal of effort researching modern nobility. we live for sicily, are residents and sons of our storied isle. what gives you the right to chop our page to shreds?to omit important paragraphs for no other reason that to flex editorial muscle? what you have done to our work is wrong plain and simple. do you understand how much work you have omitted for the mere sake of doing so? please refrain from editing our page without engaging us via "talk" FIRST. I havent been able to log on with our usual account as i left the log on info at work but as i need to sort this asap im doing so with just my isp. sorry ofr any confusion this may have caused. sicnerely, Fabrizio (sicilian resident, historian) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.235.226.4 (talk) 18:08, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Logging in with our account. As stated in the previous entry we would respectfully request that before you omit our research you have the decency to communicate with us via the talk section on our wiki page. Its becoming quite tedious how people with no cnnection to our country or province feel they have the right to revise our history without engaging us. if you feel you ahve something to add then please feel free to engage us. we would appreciate assistance linking paragraphs to cittions but please DO NOT omit valuable research. the nobility on our island has been marginalised by western powers for centuries and continued hegemonic assault is unacceptable. ] — Preceding unsigned comment added by FabrizioParisi (talk • contribs) 19:50, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Gentry
Nikkimaria has drastically forced on the article Gentry an solitary, unparalleled and uncompromising destruction of an article in the name of summarizing. Under the disguise of summarizing she exchanges material for other material. Yes, reducing was needed and it has been done. The galleries and images in the Gentry article have already been over 50% reduced in the spirit of cooperation. Still the reduction continues. Please help in the discussion. The changes have been major and constructive discussion would bee needed on the Gentry talk page. Thank you. Major Torp (talk) 12:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Géza, royal prince of Hungary, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saint Louis (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Honorifics in Cotton Mather
I reverted your edits to Cotton Mather because The Manual of Style states that, "In general, honorific prefixes – styles and honorifics in front of a name – in Wikipedia's own voice should not be included, but may be discussed in the article. In particular, this applies to:
 * styles and honorifics derived from a title, position or activity, including The Most Noble, The Most Honourable, The Right Honourable, and The Honourable;
 * styles and honorifics related to royalty, clergy, and sainthoods, such as His Holiness, The Reverend, Her Majesty, and The Venerable. Clergy should be named as described in Naming conventions (clergy). - Donald Albury 01:46, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

May 2019
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at George Eaton (journalist). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Disruptive editing in a BLP article, BLP violations ("controversy"), unexplained reverts, etc. Please stop that. Drmies (talk) 20:00, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at George Eaton (journalist), you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 20:15, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

To clarify what went on here, please see my comments on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:George_Eaton_(journalist) which explain that I was in the middle of correcting inaccurate information defamatory of Sir Roger Scruton when I was accused of the above. The matter was settled and my edits were found correct and allowed to stand. Subsequently, Sir Roger Scruton was found to have been the wronged party and George Eaton was demoted for his false reportage. It would seem that whoever accused me of misconduct on Wikipedia was someone who took it upon themselves to defend George Eaton rather than simply report the facts of the controversy which is what I was attempting to do when I was attacked in the process of doing so.
