Shangguan Yi
Do you have a source for Shangguan Yi's birth date? If so, please add it. Thanks. --Nlu (talk) 00:00, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Source for Lady Zhang being empress
Do you have a source? I do not see, in traditional sources, any indication that she was an empress. Please provide one if you do, and please let me know if you don't. I don't think we should call her an empress without a source indicating that she's an empress. (And if she's an empress, she should probably have an article dedicated to her.) --Nlu (talk) 10:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Julia (sister of Caligula). 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 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.

Edward I of England
Can you explain why you removed relevant content from Edward I of England? I await your response. If none is forthcoming, I will have to revert your blanking. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 04:14, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Since you haven't explained your removal of data, despite my having asked why a week ago, I have reverted your edit. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 20:31, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Catherine Parr
Anne Boleyn, yes, was a granddaughter of a Duke, but Anne didn't descend from any King after Edward I. Starkey is talking about her paternal lineage in particular. Sir Thomas Boleyn had no royal blood in his paternal line (we are talking the Boleyn family, his mother does not count). The Parr's could trace their lineage back to King John I of England, William "the Lion" of Scotland, and more. We have already had this discussion on Wikipedia about Catherine vs. Anne's lineage. We would appreciate it if you did not take that fact out as it was written a specific way in Starkey's book and should be quoted as such. Catherine's family had also been part of the court spanning back to Edward IV and before. They were part of the household of Catherine's ancestor John of Gaunt (son of Edward III). Her paternal grandfather, Sir William, had been made a Knight of the Garter by Edward IV. William married Lady Elizabeth FitzHugh who was niece of "Warwick the Kingmaker" and 1st cousin to the last Plantagenet queen, Anne Neville whom she came to court to be maid-of-honour to with her mother, Lady Alice Neville. Catherine was the only queen consort to descend from the Beaufort family (Henry's claim to the throne came from this family through his grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort). Lady Margaret Beaufort is said to have educated Catherine's father. Catherine's mother also descended from MANY different royals and nobility including that of the Woodville family making Catherine a cousin of Queen consort Elizabeth Woodville. If you would like, please read Starkey's book which has snippets online -- Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII by David Starkey. This statement is under her personal chapter, Catherine Parr. You can also pick up a book about Catherine Parr -- my suggestions are Susan James. Linda Porter has a book which also has snippets online. I am only stating what I see written in Starkey's book when I make that point of lineage. I hope that you will not try to manipulate the wording again because that is considered illegal on Wikipedia. -- Lady Meg (talk) 23:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Sourcing requirements
Hi. :) I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your edits to Wikipedia, but also to remind you as has been pointed out to you above that we do need sources when you add content. This is particularly important when the content you are adding is in a sentence that already contains a source, as you did with multiple sentences in the Jane Austen article--if we're not careful, we can give readers the false impression that a source supports the newly added content. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, our verifiability policy is quite strict. Our readers can't trust that information is right because we say so (because we could be anybody ), so we have to give them details on how we know: where we found the information ourselves, which they can then check to verify that we have it right if they so choose.

Please be careful to indicate the sources of your information. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:16, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Byzantine Emperors Infoxbox
Why did you change the infobox from monarch format to royalty format? We now have inconsistent infoboxes of all the Emperors. All of the emperors should have identical infoboxes which would make it consistent. If you were intending on doing that, then make sure that all the Byzantine emperors, from Arcadius to Constantine XI have the same type of infobox (whether it'd be the monarch format or royalty format). Thank you. Senjuto 15:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Line breaks
Please don't replace with. It's less reliable and breaks the formatting in some cases. See Help:Wiki markup. DrKiernan (talk) 08:19, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
