A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar |
| Thank you for straightening out one of my very awkward English formulations. The one that brought you this star was in the article Almeric de Courcy, 23rd Baron Kingsale. Keep up the good work! Best regards User:Johannes Schade |

Some things you should know
[edit]I understand that you want to be constructive, but some of your edits, usually regarding hatnotes and disambiguation pages do not fit WP:MOS guidelines. For example, you added a hatnote linking to Harold Williamson (disambiguation) on the page for Harold Sandys Williamson, even though it should not be there per WP:NOTAMB. I just don't want to have to keep removing unnecessary hatnotes. GilaMonster536 (talk) 00:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- I would dispute that it is an unnecessary hatnote as in the art literature, or at least in the volumes on my bookshelf, the artist in question is referred to Harold Williamson as often as Harold Sandys Williamson so the hatnote is, potentially at least, of some use. Likewise your removal of content from the Nutt page is of no help to anyone. Placing format over content is rarely a constructive approach. I appreciate you are a relatively new editor but please be aware editing WP is as much about judging what is most useful to the readers in a particular situation as enforcing a suite of rules. In good faith and with best regards, 14GTR (talk) 06:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ok thanks. GilaMonster536 (talk) 16:05, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- I also noticed that sometimes when you link to disambiguation pages with a pipe (the "|"), even if the target page's name already ends with "disambiguation." Just noting that this is not necessary and makes it look like you're linking back to the same page. For example, you did this on Andrew Sinclair's page.

- I meant to type the double brackets with the exclamation point in the middle. GilaMonster536 (talk) 04:07, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Westminster Abbey
[edit]I have added Westminster Abbey on commons to the template Cathedrals in England though it is not a cathedral but a major Anglican church in England and built like a Gothic cathedral. Do you agree with this single exception? AnRo0002 (talk) 19:46, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Fine by me, no problem. Thank you for asking.14GTR (talk) 20:58, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
