Hi Walgamanus,
Since you've recently moved material from the former
Ælfric, Abbot of Eynsham article to the
Ælfric Grammaticus article, I thought you might like to look at -- and perhaps contribute to this
discussion about his name.
As things look now, I'll probably be renaming the article to Ælfric of Eynsham and making appropriate changes to the linked pages. Your comments would be very welcome. -- SteveMcCluskey 17:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi - I see you took Widecombe out of the "Devon" category and having thought it through that seems reasonable. But - trying to understand categories better - what should be in Devon do you think? I guess I was puzzled to to find Plymouth a sub category of "local government in Devon" with Plymouth categories (Sport, people etc) below that. Am I getting the hierachy wrong or what? Sorry to bug you and regards -- Nigel ( Talk) 15:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Walgamanus. Great work you're doing! Just want to know is it yourself that is doing the map on the above site? If so, please get in touch as there are some rather significant revisions I'd like to pass on, to whoever is working on it. Cheers! Fergananim 17:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Greetings Walgamanus
I have no intention of starting an edit war, but would you be so kind to inform me why you keep removing *the* single person that Danish history considers pivotal in connection to the Viking Age from this category? Harald Bluetooth built six ring castles and the Kanhave Canal on Samsø, and ordered the erection of the Jelling Stones. These eight monuments are the main archaeological proof that Denmark had any connection to the Vikings at all. In Danish history writing, Harald's reign defines the introductionpeak of the Viking Age. Such a focus might be somewhat unfair towards Canute the Great, but that is another story. Anyway, his structures are always referred to as "Viking Age" and Harald is referred to as a key Viking ruler, so I don't understand at all why he should not be notable enough for inclusion there. Regards.

I would suggest that mythological/semi-legendary/petty monarchs remain merely as sub-categories of Viking Age monarchs. Does that sound good? I'd be grateful for some checking when I've finished Walgamanus 07:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed you've moved a number of pages on Scandinavian historical figure, removing diacritics, ligatures and sometimes nominative endings. Please slow down a bit. Moves like that are usually controversial and if they need to be done it's best to gather consensus (or at least a second opinion) first and take care to select the most suitable name. In your recent series of moves you moved one page to Thordr Kolbeinsson and another to Thjoldolfr of Hvinir. Those forms are idiosyncratic, neither of them gets any English-language Google hits. I've reversed some of those moves.

Just to say - thank you for adding details to the Saint Canna article. It is very much appreciated! Rgds, - Trident13 23:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning up the small battery of saints' articles I put together yesterday. I'm afraid the only resource I have is Farmer, who's a really good capsule resource but not so helpful on deeper background. Sorry, too, about the duplicate article for Urith - I checked every iteration except "Saint Urith", I'm afraid.
Thanks again! -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 18:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity, where are you finding information on the commonest form of names? Farmer uses Mylor and Kyned for Melor and Cenydd, which is where I picked those up. I really don't have anybody else to go on, I'm afraid. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 21:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Walgamus,
I notice that you have been keeping an eye on King of the Britons, the page that previously contained content about legendary kings of Britain, and then which was changed to redirect to List of legendary kings of Britain (where the information was shifted), and then which I removed the redirection on, and filled with content on historical kings of the Britons. You may have noticed that User:TharkunColl has trashed all of this by making the page once again redirect to List of legendary kings of Britain.
I'm relatively new to wiki contributions, but this seems like unethical behaviour to me. What can be done about this? I can see why TharkunColl could have been annoyed that all the links he(?) originally put in to King of the Britons no longer went to the article he cares about, the one on legendary kings. But that's no excuse for deleting lots of good information in a sensibly-named article. Personally I think that a user searching for King(s) of the Britons should in the first instance be presented with fact rather than legend. Is there a protocol for dealing with situations like this? I don't want to get into a futile editing war with TharkunColl. A compromise in which King of the Britons leads to a disambiguation page, and in which my material was retitled Historical Kings of the Britons or something like that, would be acceptable to me. But it might not be acceptable to TharkunColl because his main beef seems to be that the old links he put in don't go direct to his List of legendary kings of Britain page.
Help! Vortimer 23:55, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm afraid that it really is up to you, because you hijacked what was originally just a redirect. TharkunColl 00:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
You should redirect all the links. There are hundreds of them, and it's your responsibility. If you had wanted to create a new article, you should have given it a new name, rather than hijack hundreds of links from elsewhere. I shall continue redirecting until you have made the appropriate changes, because you created the article in March and should have done it long before now. I would also suggest you think about the Wikipedia policies against POV and original research, and rethink your article accordingly. TharkunColl 00:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Walgamanus 6,000 bronze artefacts have been found in Isleham! and you don't consider it an archaeological site. Now what does a site have to offer to deserve such a label??, -- Antiphus 16:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I've reverted the edit to remove the category from North Ferriby. As a place, North Ferriby is a bit of non-entity but to a maritime archaeologist it means Bronze age boats. This is an incredibly significant site and the category is needed to enable people interested in finding out about archaeology to find the article. If you look at the article history, you will find the stub was actually created to hold the archaeological content - without the archaeology I doubt if North Ferriby would really merit an article. Viv Hamilton 12:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you removed these categories from Carn Brea; Category:Archaeological sites in England , Category:Iron Age Britain, Category:Stone Age Britain with reference to a parent category. I'm confused as to which parent you mean and how this would navigate down to Archaelogical sites, Iron Age or Stone age. Could you clarify on the Carn Brea talk page?-- Ashley VH 16:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello Walgamanus, Thanks for your attention to my efforts on the East Anglian Monarchs series. I have looked at and revised Eni, Eorpwald, Sigeberht, Anna, Aethelwold and Eadwald so far, and an article for Dommoc, but plan to work on several more of these kings and related subjects. I am just trying to get the hang of talk pages and wiki conventions (I am a wiki novice) and would be grateful for any guidance on present showings in that or any other respect. Also perhaps we could discuss the listing itself? Eni is not a king, Ricberht is very doubtful, Hun may be a scribal error, Alberht now referred to as AEthelberht I (M Archibald) (and therefore St AEthelberht is AE II, etc - things like that.

Hallo. As far as I can see it was you who put "astronomers" in his infobox, 26 Nov 06. NO-one seems to have queried it, but I wonder where you found this?

Hello, I just thought I'd mention that I reverted your edit on this article. The flags (and the arrow links with them) are the standard way to link to the culture who controlled the area before the Norse took it, and then the peoples who controlled the area after the Kingdom of Jorvik collapsed. Both either side of the Vikings was the Kingdom of Northumbria; its not saying the Northumbrian flag is that of the Nordic kingdom. Regards. - Yorkshirian 06:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your message. I can see the validity of some of the points in your argument. For instance if a king or prince of Brycheiniog or Gwynedd etc. was known with certainty to have been born in a particular town or narrow locality it would be fair enough for him to be categorised in say "Category:People from Bangor", no matter what the higher category might be. However there are a few difficulties which arise partly from the current very limited and unsatisfactory Welsh place-related categories - i.e. they have been unilaterally created for the pre-1974 counties only - but also from the impossibility of knowing in most cases just where an early monarch was born. To give one example of the latter point, the category Monarchs of Gwynedd had been placed in People from/History of the post 1282 counties of Anglesey, Caerns, Merionethshire, and Denbs. Apart from the obvious anachronism, this suggests to somebody using the Denbs category that all the monarchs of Gwynedd were born there when we can't say with certainty that any of them were. At least one king of Gwynedd - Gruffudd ap Cynan - was born in Dublin, and he may not be alone: so do we put cat Monarchs of Gwynedd in cat People from Dublin? I notice that monarchs of the various early English kingdoms are categorised under Anglo-Saxon monarchs only, without being included in counties, current, traditional or otherwise (an exception, if it exists, would be if a king is known to have been born in a particular town or area with its own category): Category:Mercian monarchs is not found under any of the English Midlands people cats (e.e. West...), as far as I can see.
Another point is the contentiousness of some of the "traditional county" names in modern Wales, for instance Caernarfonshire, Merionethshire and especially Cardiganshire. The latter was Ceredigion before the post-conquest shire arrangement, remained Ceredigion as a cultural and geographical unit (bro), and is today the county of Ceredigion; many Welsh people would see the use of Cardiganshire as a category as a deliberate snub or, if you like, a political statement. That's another problem that definitely needs adressing. Whatever the merits of the former counties, they should definitely not take the place of existing counties (especially regarding places and buildings). Wikpedia has a naming convention on this. And what about people born after 1974? That was 33 years ago, after all. If you describe a 20-30 year old from Gwynedd or Ceredigion as "someone from Caernarfonshire/Cardiganshire" they'll think you're taking the p**s (at the very least!).
This all needs wider discussion and it's getting late in the day, so I'll leave it for now. I'm not saying I've got all the answers either, just trying to get a balanced and logical category scheme going. Would appreciate your comments. Enaidmawr ( talk) 23:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
PS Forgot to mention that I've put a note in Category:People from Brecknockshire which directs people to cat Monarchs of.. (category of 1 at present!). Enaidmawr ( talk) 00:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

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 Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
