I have removed from the Jane Grey article your entry suggesting that the phrase "nine day wonder" is derived from Jane's reign. That is simply not true. The phrase was in use long before Jane lived or reigned, dating back at least to Geoffrey Chaucer's play "Troilus and Cressida" written in the 14th century. The Oxford Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language states that the phrase can be found in texts dating as far back as 1325. PhD Historian 08:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC) alright.

I appreciate the help with certain grammatical errors, and for some reason edit remarks always seem to sound harsh- we just use game-tying instead of equalising. Thanks for your contribution! Monsieurdl 13:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Richard III (play). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Phrases such as “a raving queen” and “by morons and Americans” fail to provide a neutral point of view in the text. Please find some way to rephrase your edits to convey the relevant information in a neutral fashion. Xover (talk) 16:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jatrius,

First, I think you mistook my User page for my Talk page, and left your message at the former. I've moved it to the Talk page, but for future reference it's generally intended that the Talk page be used for such messages and doing so will also alert the user that there are new messages waiting.

Second, if the language in question is a direct quotation then it needs to be marked as such — e.g. by placing it in quotation marks — and reliably cited to a suitable secondary source. The body text of a Wikipedia article cannot use phrases such as “a raving queen” and “by morons and Americans”.

Third, if you see information in a Wikipedia article whose correctness you dispute then you should tag it with a {{cn}} template. It will render in the article as “^[

, or other blatant violation of Wikipedia policy.

Finally, I reverted your edits for the sole reason that they introduced language that is inappropriate for the body text of an encyclopedia. I have no particular issue with the characterization or the language as such; if you can provide a

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Martin Hansson has been reverted, as it introduced negative or controversial biographical material without providing a reliable source for this information. Wikipedia requires that all such material be sourced to address the issue of libel. Thank you. HamburgerRadio (talk) 23:08, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Why is there no english wiki?

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read

the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard

to help you create articles.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the

welcome page

if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

New cfds regarding "Old Fooians"

Two new cfds propose the renaming of some twenty categories. Most of those who took part in last year's cfd "Former pupils by school in the United Kingdom" seem unaware of them, so I am notifying all those who took part in that discussion, to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus. Please consider contributing here and here. Moonraker (talk) 13:51, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
