August 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Mako001. An edit you recently made to The Bear, Oxford seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 06:25, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not a test: just some minor improvements to the wording. They are not particularly important, so I won't start an edit war. Speminallium (talk) 06:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Speminallium! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Baltic Sea that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Something minor to keep in mind, no pun intended. I was making the same mistake when I started editing as well. TylerBurden (talk) 06:19, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide edit summaries[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

River Dibb[edit]

There is a great big notice on the article of the River Dibb, stating that it is undergoing a major edit. Can you leave it alone until I am finished, please? It is annoying trying to second guess what people are after when I am still collating sources and edits. Thanks. The joy of all things (talk) 20:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 31[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Abiotic stress, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MYB. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:23, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

verify spelling: incidences[edit]

I don't want to encourage reliance on frequency counts to determine which of several spellings is correct (given the question is not necessarily whether a particular spelling is correct, but rather, which is correct for a specific usage), but a google search is problematic (did you enclose it in quotes to specify an exact match? did you go to the last page of results to find out the actual number of hits?).

A big improvement over this would be a google ngram search, though that stil has somewhat of a learaning curve.

OTOH, Wikipedia search is quite straightforward.... just enclose your search term in quotes:

"incidence": 14,053
"incidents": 71,188
"incident": 119,002
"incidences": 1,376

(There are, to be sure, correct uses of "incidences"... but they are comparatively infrequent.) Fabrickator (talk) 07:25, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I fully take your point about frequency counts, and I should not have used them. However "incident" nowadays often means "something that goes wrong and causes trouble" rather than just an occurrence in general. For instance I just happened this morning to pass on the road a vehicle labelled "railway incident control unit"; and one often reads that something is "closed due to a police incident".---Speminallium (talk) 11:39, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism revertion[edit]

I noticed your edits on Massachusetts Bay Colony. Thanks for reverting vandalism! I would like to recommend Twinkle to make edit reversion and talk page warnings faster. Huggle and RedWarn are also great tools. Sungodtemple (talk) 21:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lady Elizabeth Finch-Hatton[edit]

pardon me, i'm not native speakers. but i would like to address some of the clarifications needed.

Lady Elizabeth Mary Murray married George Finch-Hatton by special licence, another long line^{[clarification needed]} of an established aristocratic family.

answer : all children of Daniel Finch, 7th Earl of Winchilsea, 2nd Earl of Nottingham. if you read his wikipedia page, his childrens marry a lot of the highest ranking aristocrat, meanwhile Edward Finch take the Hatton last name after inheriting property from his maternal side of the family. "One of the great Elizabethan houses of England, Kirby Hall was built for Sir Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwick, beginning in 1570. In 1575 the property was purchased by Sir Christopher Hatton of Holdenby, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I."

her married life interchangeably^{[clarification needed]} at her husbands two estates, Kirby Hall and Eastwell Park.

answer : her eldest child appeared to be born in Kirby Hall, while the younger one was born in Eastwell Park, her husband own both property, so it just safely assume they would use both property when convenient, Lady Elizabeth also seems to use Mansfield house belonging to her half brother.

as the whole jane austen section, it is almost entirely copied from the source, the source also has plenty of sources. No one can really proves anything since only Jane Austen knew for fact who inspire her, but it is one of the most solid theory since it was named Mansfield Park, and the Mansfield Park was set in the Northamptonshire and other reason. so again no one can prove anything but regardless the section was more to emphasize that Jane Austen met and knew Lady Elizabeth, and the similar situation of Lady Elizabeth and Dido Belle to the Novel Wentwort12 (talk) 20:35, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

i try to keep each section as short as possible. i come across book of murray aristocratic family tree and about finch family tree, see here Earl of Winchilsea. yes they both were undoubtedly long line of established aristocrat.

most of the citation need also at the end of second paragraph, i appreciate your edits Wentwort12 (talk) 20:53, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
