Hyderabad

Why did you reject the edit for calling it Bhagyanagaram? 141.89.103.177 (talk) 18:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Ernest Shackleton

You indefinitely blocked Talk:Hanoi Road in June 2021 following an incident being raised at ANI. Today, we had an IP editor making the same claim of an RFC that doesn't exist, which is what that editor was claiming. Seems slightly suspect but I'm not sure that is enough to make a case for socking while indeffed? Would you mind taking a look and telling me what you think?

Titles and Styles

Hello! I will start with apologies for my prior mistakes regarding Prince George, Duke of Kent, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent and Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood. I understand the problem with original research, but I also don't understand how some of what I added was OR (especially since it is the same case elsewhere), particularly regarding Princess Marina, where I used sources for all of her used titles and styles (though some of them admittedly required some work to find). If you could counsel me on a better course of action that would be much appreciated! Estar8806 (talk) 21:29, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:No original research for guidance. DrKay (talk) 22:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I am curious to know why the Canadian Scottish Regiment website [1] is not a reliable source though it is used elsewhere on wikipedia. I understand self published sources, but shouldn't it be considered reliable if it is an official website for an official unit of the Canadian Army? Estar8806 (talk) 23:44, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:CIRCULAR. That website is copied from wikipedia. DrKay (talk) 17:18, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1902-1910: His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales
  • 1910-1934: His Royal Highness The Prince George
  • 1934-1942: His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent[1]
Would this be acceptable for the Duke of Kent? The article already establishes he was the son of the prince of Wales (George V). Estar8806 (talk) 23:57, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Since the source says "His Royal Highness Prince George", no. What you've written doesn't match the source. DrKay (talk) 08:06, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1902-1910: His Royal Highness Prince George of Wales
  • 1910-1934: His Royal Highness The Prince George[2]
  • 1934-1942: His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent[3]
Here the definite article is used. Estar8806 (talk) 17:22, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Does something this difficult to source adequately and that can only be sourced to primary sources belong in the article? I would argue not. DrKay (talk) 08:00, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clown Prince of Greece

I'd like to inform you that Greece has abolished monarchy since 1974 after a plebiscite. Yes, the plebs decided that they no longer want monarchy. So, there's no such thing as crown prince of greece, only clown prince of greece 79.167.179.167 (talk) 11:07, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Primary source

Regarding this edit, do you consider British Pathé to be a primary source or are you taking issue with it because it was uploaded on YouTube? Because if the latter is the problem, I can use this link from the British Pathé website as the source instead. Let me know. Keivan.fTalk 18:56, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only source is the speech itself. DrKay (talk) 21:06, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yet I did not rely on the speech's content to write what I had written and rather used British Pathé's summary of it. And if you think that's not enough there's also this page by the BBC which covers it in detail. Any objections to this one? Keivan.fTalk 22:32, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Lewis

Re the CL edit. I went to school with Chris. Can name his teachers and schools. How would I reference myself as the source? Rawhiti (talk) 12:19, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can't. See Wikipedia:Verifiability. Material that is not published by a reliable source should not be included. DrKay (talk) 12:21, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mary, Queen of Scots letters

Hi. Since you are the top contributor to this article I thought it would be a good idea to bring this newly discovered series of letters to your attention. It is mentioned that in the letters Mary complained about her poor health, spoke of her distrust towards Walsingham, and talked about sending presents to Elizabeth's officials to win them over. I was wondering if it was worthy of inclusion in any way, shape or form in the main article, but since you're the one with knowledge about the details I decided to bring it up here first. Let me know if there is any useful information here. Keivan.fTalk 22:46, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
