If you risk getting into 3RR problems, I'm more than happy to help - just leave a note on my talk page on how you'd like me to help. Best wishes and keep up the good work! (At least one person appreciates your diligence.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:06, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Huh? Do you mean that I might get a 24 hour block for reverting the unconstructive/unsourced edits made by this IP?--The Theosophist (talk) 17:21, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

That's why I started the sentence with "If". Pdfpdf (talk) 00:57, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Can you explain me how does this work?--The Theosophist (talk) 12:10, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry - how does what work? Pdfpdf (talk) 12:51, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

The 3RR--The Theosophist (talk) 11:19, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Huh? Are you telling me you don't understand 3RR and want me to explain it to you? (I suspect not, but if so, please read Wikipedia:Edit warring)

If you are asking me to explain what I mean: "If you would like help, just leave a note on my talk page explaining how you'd like me to help."

If you mean something else, ... errrr ... what's the question? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:48, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

I read edit warring but I haven't understood the point of the 3RR. The reason of its existence.--The Theosophist (talk) 15:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

FYI?

What's that?--The Theosophist (talk) 11:19, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

If it isn't obvious, just ignore it. Pdfpdf (talk) 11:51, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

No, tell me! :) --The Theosophist (talk) 15:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Harold Balfour's son Ian?

I saw you recently edited the article for Harold Balfour, on April 20th. The user who edited it the day before you apparently added a blurb mentioning that Harold's son Ian had died sometime earlier this year: "(1924 - 2013)". I was the one who had originally added any mention of Ian to the article, a year or two ago, and I was going off some vague internet sources. For his longevity, but edit said "(circa 1927 - )". I actually know/knew Ian and was a contributor to the most recent edition of his book, but hadn't heard from him in several years, so I was wondering, was Harold his father? --98.246.156.76 (talk) 04:15, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Catherine of Bosnia

Hi! I've reverted your revert at Catherine of Bosnia because the portrait actually depicts Isabella d'Este, being a retouched version of the Ritratto di giovinetta. See Catherine of Bosnia#Legacy. Cheers, Surtsicna (talk) 08:52, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

No problem, really. It's easy to understand why you assumed that my edit was unhelpful, considering the bizarre witchhunt at ANI. Anyway, thank you for your understanding. Surtsicna (talk) 12:43, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

No, of course not. See Wikipedia:No original research#Routine calculations. Surtsicna (talk) 13:42, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Of course you may, but I am not entirely sure if I can answer correctly to that one. Is it not possible that A is B's legitimated child (legitimated through a decree, for example) by an unwed partner and thus not the son of C, or that A is B's adopted child who was not also adopted by C? Louis Auguste, Duke of Maine, for example, was Louis XIV's legitimate[d] son, but not the son of Louis XIV's only [undisputed] wife. Such situations rarely arise, and when they do, historians or biographers usually offer explanations, so I doubt any OR would be necessary. Surtsicna (talk) 13:57, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Any time! You can also ask the same question at Wikipedia:Help desk. You might get a more precise answer there. Surtsicna (talk) 14:27, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
