Re; Roberton

Hi Quintus, Thanks for your comments re my post. You've quite right. The Robertons are an armigerous family, lowland and extremely Flemish in origin. The Clan Roberton page at the SCSC has me bemused somewhat and that tartan is completely out of left field. I wrote to the scottish tartan museum some years ago so that Tartan is VERY modern lol. Also there is absolutely no relation with Robertson or Clan Donnachaidh. The Roberton is a locative surname rather than patronymic, literally the "town of Robert", in this case Robert the fleming, brother of Lambin Asa ( according to several sources including Black's Surnames of Scotland). Anyways, since you were gracious enough to take the time to post, I'd thought I'd give you the potted history.

I guess my question is, if the family is an armigerous family, am I better off writing the article at 'Roberton(armigerous scottish family)' so it clearly falls within the provenance of the Wiki Project?

Cheers, Paul. Paul Roberton (talk) 08:59, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should either call it 'Clan Roberton' or 'Roberton family'. I think Clan Roberton would be better myself. Even the peaceful Lowland families were part of the 'Clan System' and can be regarded as clans. Alot of the Highland clans were of Norman and Flemmish descent too but adapted to the clan system at the same time as the feudal system, brougt in by the Normans. Just write the article, as long as you quote references it should be fine. We could wait until the article has been written and then make any changes to the title or categories necessary.

Chiefs of Clan Mackenzie

I have answered on my talk page, but PS: Do you think a succession box would be a good thing for the Mackenzie chiefs? If so, is there a convenient template already in existence? 45ossington (talk) 17:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

re: Paul Mactire

Thanks Quintus. I'd vaguely heard of Paul before, and when I was working on the Olvir Rosta article I noticed a 19th century author completely messed up (or atleast had a very different take on) the tradition of Paul's daughter's marriage, and the etymology of the name of Paul's ancestor and descendants: "Leander"/"Clan Landus", which should equate to Clann Gille Ainnrais, yet he gave: "Aulver is the same name with Leander" (Olvir_Rosta#cite_note-36). ATM I've got the book Alba: Celtic Scotland in the Middle Ages out from the library. I'm going to scan it so I can read it on a reader. One of the articles in it (the one used in the Paul and Olvir articles: 'The Province of Ross and the Kingdom of Alba') is about mediaeval Ross; it makes a small mention of Donald Munro, and might be interesting to you since its about the early history the stomping grounds of the Munros. I could email it to you, once I get it scanned, if you'd like. I think I'm going to try and make a stubbish article on Gilleoin of the Aird, the supposed ancestor of the Mackenzies, Mathesons, and Clann Gille Ainnrais. He was supposedly a big-shot in Ross around the time of Somerled. Skene mentions him a bit in his books, and the article I was talking about does too.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 06:39, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, would you be so kind as to give us support!

Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this spiky intrusion. I've just read your profile and saw that you are from Scottish and Irish descent (I went to Edinburgh not that long ago and I really appreciated the people and the wonderful place! Beautiful and really nice!), so I guess that being Scottish and Irish helps you understand what are an endangered language and culture and maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... I'm a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to that moment. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Supporting us will be like giving equal opportunity to minorized languages and cultures in the future! Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Keep on preserving your great culture, country and language! Mar sin leibh! Slán agat Capsot (talk) 15:43, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

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 revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was 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.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

Foo Fighters

Even though my cleaning up of One by One (Foo Fighters album) started with you confusing it for vandalism, can you look it up, clean its prose and such? Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 01:15, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert my edits to Foo Fighters discography? I did nothing wrong. The singles section was a complete disaster until I cleaned it up. Cathartica (talk) 10:19, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are only 10 charts, but feel free to replace Ultratop 50 with Irish Singles Chart. Cathartica (talk) 10:30, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ultratip is, in fact, an extension of the main Ultratop chart. Moby discography and Air discography are two examples. We don't need three rock charts, especially when Rock Songs has only been around since 2009. Cathartica (talk) 12:07, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even look at my edit? I removed the Belgian charts. Any further reverts will be reported as vandalism. Have a nice day. Cathartica (talk) 12:46, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keith Arms

I can not find a good reference to what the arms now are. I found this: by user Tinynanorobots of commons. Question him about his/her sources, and if they stand use that image. My cursory research found that the Earl of Kintore' arms have changed somewhat over the years, in [1] I found the arms quartered in the 1600's but very different from Tinynanorobots, perhaps it changed again later.

Battle of Carinish

We seem to have had a rather unusual edit conflict. Yesterday I was attracted by a claim to be the last engagement in the British Isles fought with bows and arrows, and I edited the relevant section of Carinish. You removed it and mentioned that the battle deserved its own page; I silently agreed and as soon as I got home I prepared Battle of Carinish; a quick search found a few good references and a few more details. This morning I looked for links to it, and I came across your new page, Battle of Carinish (1601). It's fairly similar to mine of course, but we do need to decide which one is redundant. The few details I added last night aren't relevant since they can easily be copied to the other page if that's to be kept, but I need your expertise to tell me if we need the date as part of the title of the page. Is there another battle of Carinish which would need such disambiguation? Richard Keatinge (talk) 09:13, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle of Inverurie (1745), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Elgin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Take it to the talk page

I have fully-protected Foo Fighters discography for 72 hours. Take your discussion to the talk page, and get a consensus. If either of you reverts again after the protection expires without gaining that consensus, you will be blocked.—Kww(talk) 13:43, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reason that the article was protected instead of me blocking anyone was that you seemed to be trying to discuss it in good faith. Hopefully everything will get resolved during the protection.—Kww(talk) 16:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nirvana chronology

Hi Quintus, sorry for the delayed response. I don't have any strong feelings either way, though given the infobox has always had fields to indicate specific formats (EP, LP, live album, compilations, etc.) I myself prefer to indicate chronology in said format, or if possible, overall chronology and then format-specific chronology for ease of navigation and linking of relevant items. But whatever you do, I trust you'll make a sensible choice. You can take my comments into account, but I'll support your course whatever you end up doing. WesleyDodds (talk) 13:52, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bear in mind that guidelines are merely that: guidelines for what to do, not mandates. Very few things on Wikipedia are hard-and-solid policy. If you feel you have sufficient rational to ignore all rules, then you are encouraged to do so. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:28, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Brechin

It might be coincidental but as you edited right on the heels of my correcting which Gordon was involved in the battle, was the comment or question directed to me or this edit? If so, it seems very reasonable to link to the Douglasses also. I only made the correction I did to remain consistent with the correction on George Gordon, the 2nd Earl of Huntley's article. If you're working on this article, there is a little more information on the battle in the source I cited (available on Google books as a preview) regarding other clans involved. Anyway, if it helps.

Marian civil war

Hi. Thanks for looking at this and working on the box. I'm not sure that it is quite right as yet. E.g., there could be two civil war boxes for Mary, Queen of Scots, one for her battles and campaigns 1561 to Carberry, "Scottish civil conflict in Mary's reign" including the Chaseabout Raid, and a "Marian civil war" box for events from Langside to the fall of Edinburgh castle in 1573. This latter period 1568-1573 when Mary went into England, is called the "Marian civil war." I'm sure you'll be able to find a solution for the boxes, I don't understand them very well.Unoquha (talk) 14:40, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clan Menzies

I have reverted your reinstatement of the spelling mistake at Clan Menzies - the word is received not recieved - which I accompanied by a minor improvement in the English grammar.
My concern is that from your edit summary "As per source which states he received the royal patronage at the royal court" you appear to be copying things verbatim - and even arguing that spelling mistakes and poor grammar in the orginal should be kept as well. Copying text, other than an occasional direct quotation, is, of course contrary to copyright.

Clan Davidson

You are so pathetic, now you posted garbage from the same source to say the Grants were of Norman origin? The Grants are one of the original Gaelic/Celtic clans of Scotland. Why don't you find a new hobby since you are completely incompetent at interjecting anything into Scottish Clan.

I really couldn't care less, in fact, please do, you are a pathetic waste of air and who the hell do you think you are sticking your lame ass into Scottish clan history? Go play your damn video games or listen to that crappy foo fighters garbage. How is Kurt doing anyway...haven't heard any new music from him..The source you keep using is crap, it's full of dung, so why do you keep using it for multiple clans?? I'm living proof that many of the clans you've bastardized as Norman are really celtic because we're related going back before surnames, my dna testing proves that but you keep citing a b.s. book, a fairytale you call a source.

Green Day discography discussion

Hey. As you may have seen, there have been quite a few editorial disputes on Green Day discography recently, but all editors seem to be doing is reverting each other continuously without anyone getting anywhere, and the page is thus very unstable. To curb this, I'm beginning a discussion here to try and come to some sort of consensus on the big issues I've spotted. Although you haven't been involved in the problems I bring up, the tireless work you've put into many rock articles and discographies in the past leads me to think your judgement could be very useful.

Wasting Light singles

I saw that the promotion of the album was very complex, and I want to explain this: all singles were released digitally for the commerce (so iTunes and 7digital), but there also promotional CDs. But I want talk about the digital singles:

  • "Rope" is the first single and it was released worldwide
  • "White Limo" was released in the US and in some european countries (not United Kingdom and Ireland)
  • "Walk" was released only in Germany
  • "Arlandria" was released only in the United Kingdom and Ireland

On Discogs, I see that there are also three other releases: "These Days", "Bridge Burning" and "Back & Forth", released as airplay singles.

As you noticed, it's a big mess. How can we resolve it? --SuperVirtual (talk) 16:28, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you have any sources to back up your edits then the rules of Wikipedia mean that I can revert them. I mean what source do you have to say that Walk was only released in Germany ? That is most strange. If a song has charted in a country due to downloads it has to have been released there. Virtually all those national charts for the song Walk were due to internet downloads. See my links on the Talk:Arlandria (song) page, it is without doubt the third single in the UK.QuintusPetillius (talk) 16:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done, see the links. --SuperVirtual (talk) 16:40, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In case you didn't realize there are a lot more legal music download sites than ITunes. At the end of the day all those songs a available to download in pretty much any country in the world, on I Tunes anyway, therefore they have all been released worldwide. Your links do not prove anything.QuintusPetillius (talk) 18:55, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I know, in fact there is also 7digital that confirmes the release dates. Take a look. I would inform you that a person that lives in a country didn't buy an iTunes single from an other country, and it confirm that the single was release specifically in that country. --SuperVirtual (talk) 20:36, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, all of the Wasting Light singles are available to download in any country. You seem to be under the impression that the download has to have the accompanying artwork for it to be a single ? this is not the case. Unless you have a source which specifically says that a certain song was only available to download in a certain country then your edits can be reverted under the rules of Wikipedia. All of the Wasting Light singles are available to download in any country.QuintusPetillius (talk) 11:08, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

edit war

The two of you seem to be voluntarily stopping, but I still feel like I need to make it clear: the level of edit warring that has gone on in this pair of articles is unacceptable. The next one of you that reverts in either article will be blocked. SuperVirtual, I draw your attention to WP:BRD: once an addition you have made to an article is reverted, it stays out of the article until there is consensus to include it. QuintusPetillius, I draw your attention to WP:3RR#3RR exemptions: none of your reverts fall under any of those exemptions, and being a reviewer doesn't give you a special status. I could, at this point, block both of you, but I will not so long as you both cease edit-warring and start discussing.—Kww(talk) 21:05, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RE

Oh, I'm happy of this. I would put this information on the header because I always think iTunes released some exclusive single in paticular countries, like "Walk", "Arlandria", or "White Limo". Sorry for the various edit war in the previous days. Happy wiki :) --SuperVirtual (talk) 19:13, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But, how can we resolve the fact of the release of "Walk"? The only thing I saw is his release as a digital single in Germany. Maybe all thinks that "Rope", "Walk", and "Arlandria" is the correct order for the airplay? :/ --SuperVirtual (talk) 16:13, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure? I meant if exist a digital single in the UK, because I didn't see it in the UK iTune Store. I see that all the world can download "Walk" and "Arlandria", but only from Wasting Light, not in its proper single, like Germany (and United Kingdom for "Arlandria"). I don't know if you understand what I want to explain. --SuperVirtual (talk) 16:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"of that Ilk"

User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh has suggested that I ask you this, as he says you have "a good book that likely covers the term somewhat: Collins Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia, a book endorsed by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs."

My question is, how should "of that Ilk" be capitalised? My own feeling is that it should be "of that ilk", just as the word "same" would never be capitalised. But throughout Wikipedia, I see "of that Ilk". I would appreciate your view. Maproom (talk) 18:30, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Utero reissue

You know what? I suspected as much. Ironically I was the one who amended the reference to the Nevermind 20th anniversary reissues (pointing-out that there were multiple such packages as opposed to only one super-deluxe edition). Thanks for the heads-up. I'll see if I can track down an article to help back this up. LazyBastardGuy 18:51, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's been taken care of. I found a source within minutes (Rolling Stone) of saying I would, I was surprised at how far I didn't have to go (which of course only proves you were right). I don't know if I made it entirely too brief on the page, though, so feel free to touch it up if you like. LazyBastardGuy 19:33, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't blocked the Scotland clans

I never said it was I said it was a Scottish clan/ name. Don't you block that site — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.30.212 (talk) 18:21, 1 September 2013 (UTC) i'm sorry[reply]

Hetherington is a Scottish clan

My clan name is Hetherington and my family is from Ireland and Scotland. I've shown this to my family and they find this a great offence to what Wikipedia or inaccurate sites saying about the Hetherington's aren't a Scottish name or Scottish clan. Our Tartan is shared with Murray. In the middle ages/ Scottish wars, every Scottish clan and tribe would have wars and battles between their land/clan/ because they didn't like each other. Hetheringtons were even with William Wallace fighting and killing the English soldiers who invade Scotland. In the Tudor/ Stuart era Hetherington was a Scottish Christian rebel clan against James the 6th of Scotland or James the 1st of England and England. The king hated these rebellious Scottish clans and ordered his men and convinced many other Scottish clans to hunt them, torture them and even kill them. Most Hetherington's hid all over in Scotland (like Shetland and Orkney isles). Some Hetherington's immigrated/ exiled to Ireland or Northern England like Northumberland and Cumbria. I never said it was a Armigerous clan. Like it or not its a Scottish surname, clan and Tribe. And also remember the Scottish borders kept changing. Hope to be pals in the future.

List of best-selling music artists

All re-certified albums/singles including Rihanna's Unappalogetic do eventually get posted on the main AIRA's certification page. Those albums/singles that simply re-enter the charts without being re-certified, they still can be found at ARIA Report. Thus, can be supported by those as Nirvana's Nevermind is supported on the list with this ARIA Report.--Harout72 (talk) 16:38, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted these edits to Clan Hay as they removed perfectly valid red links. From the edit summary I see you call them deadlinks ("Removed dead links as these are not supposed to be in Wiki articles))". As you can see from WP:REDLINK these are perfectly allowed on wikipedia. They are articles that may be made in the future. They are not deadlinks, that term refers to external links and they shouldn't be removed on sight either (they should be fixed using a variety of different methods.) If you have any questions then please contact me on my talkpage. Thanks, Woody (talk) 18:54, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, edit away. Some of the sourced information might need to be pruned/edited if it doesn't meet guidelines. If you think some of the content should be removed/edited feel free to do it. (if it is reverted then so be it, you then discuss it) If you think it might be controversial then start a discussion on the talkpage. If you read redlink you will see that there are some redlinks that don't need to be kept: ie articles that won't realistically be made as the subjects don't meet the notability guidelines. They shouldn't just be removed en masse. Regards, Woody (talk) 09:48, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Military_of_Scotland#File_Scottish_soldiers_in_service_of_Gustavus_Adolphus.2C_1631-cropped-.jpg

There's a bit of a discussion about the above image here: Talk:Military_of_Scotland#File_Scottish_soldiers_in_service_of_Gustavus_Adolphus.2C_1631-cropped-.jpg. A couple of IPs suspect it depicts Irishmen instead of Scottish soldiers. I was wondering if you had, or knew of, a reliable source that associates the illustration with the Scots (a Mackay or Munro unit?). Can you remember if it appeared in any of the sources you used for Independent Highland Companies? I know I've seen it a number of different books, but can't remember which. If someone shows a good reference on the talkpage it should settle the discussion once and for all.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 01:13, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

clan maclea

I can understand your question! The present family who are heads of the Clan MacLea use the Livingstone surname, but claim no blood connection to the Livingstons in the lowlands (who were not a clan). The connection between the two families is a bit mysterious. You might be right that we should explain this, if we can find a way, but my less ambitious point is that we can not simply equate the two families. As I understand it, the leading theory is that the two families probably had some sort of alliance where by the highland clan were able to use the surname when in English speaking lowland territory. The present clan chief, Niall Livingston Baron of Bachuil, does have a website where such things are discussed.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 16:38, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox clan

Hi Quintus. I could not find the discussion you referred to when you reverted my edit here, will you provide a link? In any case, my work was mostly focussed on updating the template to use the Lua module, and I don't think that is going to be controversial as there is a strong consensus for it at WP:INFOBOX. If you're not against that, restoring your preferred colour scheme is not a justification for reverting everything. Cheers, eh bien mon prince (talk) 12:24, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kennedy

Someone added a paragraph to the article on the presidential Kennedy family about how they are regarded as descending from the Scottish Kennedys [2].

Hetherington

Hello, Quintus! For quite some time IPs have been replacing the body of this surname article with unsourced statements to the effect that the name is Scottish or Irish. This has resulted in repeated semi-protections of the page, as the problem flares up again every time the protection expires. I’ve started a discussion on the Talk page in the hope of making some progress toward a conclusion, and having noticed your work in the area of Scottish names, would appreciate any thoughts you may care to contribute.—Odysseus1479 01:36, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambig piping is required at Wikipedia:Disambiguation#How to link to a disambiguation page

Hi. I saw that you reverted many of my disambiguation fixes like this one. You should know that the section on how to link to a disambiguation page very clearly says, "To link to a disambiguation page (rather than to a page whose topic is a specific meaning), link to the title that includes the text "(disambiguation)", even if that is a redirect. Please review this policy and please revert your edits so they are in keeping with this policy. It is a big help to Wikipedia to clear out links that show up as errors by using these redirects.

Clan Chattan source

I came across this the other day. You might be interested in downloading and reading it. It's a chapter from an academic book just published this summer [3]. Modern scholars suspect that Eva, the traditional 13th-century heiress of the clan, is a mere genealogical construction of the Mackintoshes. The Mackintoshes are first recorded in the mid 14th century, and amazingly Clan Chattan is first referenced in the mid 15th century.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 22:40, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clan Carruthers

I have made a few changes to the page, I Hope It satisfies your needs and is up to the standards of the Scottish Clan section. If you wish to edit the page to increase its credibility I would be pleased.

(When it comes to being the Sept of the Bruces, their are no reliable sources which provide such a Definition, of Septs, Clans, Families or Houses in Scotland. For Example The Bruces' do not Consider themselves to be a Clan, due to their Lowland Status They Are a Family or House, while The word Clan is still used to refer to them. Also, Armigerous Clans Have no legal or official Status as a Clan, yet they are still referred to as a Clan, Highland or Lowland. I bring this up as a point, Much of this subjects History is debated and often predates reliable sources, for example Carruthers Means Ruthers Fort, Or Red Fort, No one Knows and will ever know, but Currently History Sways toward Ruthers Fort) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Comradcaer (talk • contribs) 02:52, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Holy Roman Empire ≠ "Germany"

Greetings,

obviously we're encountering a serious terminological issue since many — especially the 19th century — sources use the utterly wrong term "Germany" where "Sacrum Romanum Imperium" would have been correct.

AFAIK, wp's rule is to provide consistency, meaning here that we'd rather use the historically correct term, and not stick to a profoundly misleading mistranslation.

I guess you will be enjoying to edit the Lesliy articles here since I am regaling myself to give you some more facts regarding the Leslie family:

According to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Leslie_(†_1667) in 1634, Walter ex stirpe Leslie became Roman Catholic — further reading: http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz50602.html «[…] 1634 […(.)…] von der presbyterian. zur kath. Kirche übergetreten […]».

And then one should know, the Emperor granted him the «Reichsgrafenstand» — that is "Imperial Count" or more precisely "Comital status of the Holy Roman Empire", and definitely not "Count of Germany", whatever that would have been ;) The grant's concept, including coat of arms: http://archivinformationssystem.gv.at/detail.aspx?ID=2533100
