Disambiguation link notification for September 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chalosse, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chalosse Noire. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Excellent work on the Balnabari article so far. I think that you've made enough expansion to it that it doesn't even need the new-page template anymore.--Mr Fink (talk) 18:27, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Bramante Staircase
Hi, I have previously edited the article about the Bramante staircase to reflect the fact that the original staircase does not seem to be a double helix version. If you have a look at any picture of the old staircase there is nothing to suggest it is in fact double helix, however there are articles on the internet suggesting it is, such as the blog entry from insight vacations referenced in the wiki. Even in the picture from this blog it looks like a spiral staircase without double helix. Instead of editing the article I would just like to ask if you have more insight in this. Regards, Erik — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.16.182.160 (talk) 09:36, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Erik:
- In answer to your question, I was guided by the previous draft of the article which said the Momo staircase was inspired by the original (and was named the Bramante stair for that reason), and from what it said on the Insight website; also that it was said to have inspired other, double helix stairs (like this one).
- Whatever it might look like, the sources used are pretty categorical about it, and (as they are charging good money from people to see it) they could hardly do so for long if it wasn't, could they?
- Anyway, if you have something to the contrary, (a source saying it isn't so, for example, to avoid Original Research territory, open a discussion on the page, and we can see what anyone else thinks. Happy editing, Moonraker12 (talk) 19:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Wilseder Berg and Good King George
Hi Moonraker, your edits were clearly in good faith and I was happy with most of them, but I just felt the construct "George IV of the United Kingdom" sounded very odd. I know it's the title of the article, but Wiki articles sometimes have odd titles for the sake of disambiguation. He would normally be called just "George IV" or "King George (IV)" if it were clear that we were in Britain, but we're not, so some sort of dab is needed and the most common by far is "of England" - about ten times more common that "of the United Kingdom" or "of Great Britain" on Google books. So if

House of Ibelin
Hi Moonraker! Yeah, after I changed it, I realized it was a disambiguation for a similar sounding word, instead of the modern name of Ibelin. But I forgot to change it back...
I did add the family tree long, long ago. I'm not sure how to make it more readable but it is pretty confusing the way it is now. There are certainly better ways to display family trees on Wikipedia now, if you know how to fix it. Adam Bishop (talk) 21:53, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

I am wondering why
you added a *see Wilson "Snowflake" Bentlay at the Karl Blossfeldt article? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 21:17, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for your note and I hope that you are feeling better. I am a fan of both photographers and am not bothered by any interlinking, I was just curious. I am one of those chatty editors. The Blossfeldt article gets a fair amount of stupid vandalism so I watch it. I suspect that he is mentioned in some 7th grade text book somewhere that leads 13 year old boys to it. Carptrash (talk) 16:07, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- I went back and looked at Blossfeldt's history and was surprised to see just how much reverting there was. I went back to the oldest history and once the reverting starts it seems to be pretty constant. So anyway that's what you innocently walked into and why it might seem that I jumped all over you.

Wars of the Roses
I was going pose this at Wars of the Roses page, but saw you saying (in 2014) you would post an edit note; I don’t know what that is (and I can’t find one); so I’m here.
The name “Wars of the Roses” is very colourful, and is an important part of this topic.
I’d like to see a paragraph that says what it was called prior to becoming “WotR”. And in c1465, c1500, c1600. The archives (#39) talks about “Cousins’ War”: and this appears on history.com. Ref [7] says During Shakespeare's time people used the term Civil Wars: cf. e.g., the title of Samuel Daniel's work, the First Four Books.
And maybe a sentence on whether the name change was due to Walter Scott (or not).
PS. I had the quiz question (in iPhone game TriviaCrack) Who won the Wars of the Roses, and the answer cited was “Lancashire”. (Other options: Yorkshire, Sussex)!
