There are several people who should technically been notified, but it's obvious to anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty what you meant by your comment. I gather the sentiment held by most is there was no point bothering you ovet this. If anyone should have notified you it should have been Neotarf. But I doubt they would have wanted you to speak up, knowing they were taking your words out of context. But on the chance they believed what they said, then they have serious competency issues. It warms my heart that some of Eric's supporters are women, who effectively laugh at the thought of Eric being a misogynist.Two kinds of pork^Makin'_Bacon 20:57, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Ealdgyth, I thought about pinging you in that bit on the ArbCom Evidence Talk Page Thingy, but wasn't sure if I should bother you with it--I also didn't realize that you hadn't been pinged by the plaintiff, so to speak. Or, of course, I figured that I was a white knight on a big ole horse saving yet another helpless female editor from oppression--a reading the plaintiff might wish to adopt. In other words, sorry--I should have pinged you. Hey, every time I look at Middle Ages I'm stung by envy and filled with admiration. That must have taken an enormous amount of time and energy, more than I can really imagine. Will you allow Jimbo to clone you and speedraise those hatchlings so we can finish Wikipedia? Happy editing, Drmies (talk) 05:22, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

FYI. Looks like that's the only article they've contributed to; they've made a good-faith beginner's attempt to format the references, so I thought it would be worth a welcome, in the hope they will become another Anglo-Norman topic editor. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:11, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw the reference. The problem is... not only is it unsourced, but it's undue weight. Douglas mentions the penitentiary in one sentence, but does not connect it with William, instead discussing it's evidence for the composition of the troops at Hastings. Also, Douglas states that the penitentiary is alleged to have been produced by Ermenfid. Bates doesn't even give it a name, instead calling it a set of ordinances. Bates also states that it could have been only confirmed by Ermenfrid and that the date is not clear - either 1067 or 1070. All in all - too much uncertainty and way too much detail for William's article. Certainly worth mentioning in Ermenfrid's though. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:24, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

I started adding a comment about potentially undue weight to the welcome message but I thought that would be hitting them with multiple bricks at once. I'd like to encourage them to stay, not tell them all the reasons their edits are wrong, of course. I figured you'd use it if it could be used. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:47, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey Ealdgyth, I just wanted you to know that I spotted a potential mistake in your

Update I removed the line in

WP:SMOS in good faith. You can view the version I was looking at here. Thanks,  ΤheQ Editor  ^Talk?

If you have a minute, would you take a look at this talk page? I'm not convinced the source is a good one, and would like your opinion. I'd also like your opinion on the general question Blanche is asking -- it's true that Anderson is notable, and the series is notable, and she's right about where it was published. Drawing that connection without it being specifically referenced in a RS seems wrong to me. I believe you read some sf -- any thoughts on that? Thanks.

...that the ancient Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex is no longer in existence, but can you clarify as to why you find mentioning Hampshire being a part of the kingdom of Wessex during Swithun's lifetime "not useful"? Sorry, I am just keen to learn. I was just adding it for geographical completeness. Great choice of name, by the way. --Plymothian Devonian (talk) 18:37, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Mainly, you're mixing geographical eras. With "Hampshire" after it (and I really don't care if its there or not, honestly), you're giving the modern location of Winchester. The traditional shires are not strictly speaking truly formed during the period of Swithun's lifetime - so probably the best solution is just listing plain Winchester. Second choice would be what's currently there... third choice would be mentioning Wessex, but without Hampshire, and only last would be what you inserted. Ealdgyth - Talk 18:57, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Agreed, there is a knot of era-specific geographical info here and my initial edit was confusing - primarily because the article on Hampshire links to the modern county. Perhaps having it as just "Winchester" or "Winchester, Wessex" only with "Modern day Hampshire, England" inserted afterwards in brackets be suitable...? --Plymothian Devonian (talk) 20:16, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

As long as Winchester is linked, I see little need for the further qualifications, honestly. Ealdgyth - Talk 20:19, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Agreed again. Winchester was an important center of religion in Swithun's time. He was born and died there. He was only bishop of Winchester Cathedral and that is where his shrine is located today. Mentioning Wessex seems a tad pointless when there seems to be nothing in the article hinting towards any greater influence throughout the Kingdom. He wasn't, as far as I can tell, politically active or cosying up to the Wessex monarchs, if you catch my drift...--Plymothian Devonian (talk) 20:23, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello Ealdgyth, we talked about

Yes, I'm hoping to write one. Hope to get to it tomorrow while everyone else is stuffing themselves with turkey. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:00, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Your public is waiting. User:SandyGeorgia/ArbVotes2014 is unlikely to progress, since other developments have dominated my time (are your ears ringing? they should be, as you are much admired and discussed) ... see User_talk:MastCell#I_voted.21. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:39, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I saw the posts on WT:FAC ... just been really swamped with RL. Should be more free come the weekend, I hope. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:07, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

"In 1199 he was involved in a dispute over the stannaries another official ...". Is there a word missing? Should that be "with another official"? Eric Corbett 21:59, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

ACK! yes. I blame the cold weather (my pellet stove is out so I'm running a space heater which isn't keeping my fingers as warm as I'd like for typing...) Ealdgyth - Talk 22:01, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for following behind me and cleaning up my messes... Ealdgyth - Talk 22:22, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
