You recently boldly moved Walter de Manny, 1st Baron Manny to Walter Manny, 1st Baron Manny with the edit summary "name in England." I would point out that the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disagrees, and in Manny's own time, English names frequently used the French preposition de before locative surnames, due to the post-conquest influence of Norman Middle French on the English language, a practice reflected in contemporary and subsequent literature on English nobility of the late Middle Ages (particularly those of the period c. 12th-15th centuries). Walter de Manny is in fact his WP:COMMONNAME in English, just as the COMMONNAMEs of many of his contemporaries also incorporate de (e.g. John de Montacute, 1st Baron Montacute and William de Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury).

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

I have a conundrum. The battle of Sandwich 1460, is called a naval battle/skirmish. However, according to The Reign of King Henry VI by Ralph Griffiths, this was a minor land skirmish between the Lancastrians and Yorkists.
My conundrum is, should I go ahead and change the battle to what this source state?(the only source is a link that is not searchable) or leave it and simply mention it on the talk page and hope for a response? I have also considered letting user:Neddyseagoon know as well. Thanks. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 06:14, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I think you may be on the wrong path with categorising Royal Navy officers as "graduates" of the R.N.C. as from 1873 onwards all military branch officers had to pass through in order to reach the rank of Lieutenant, but they also had to go to Excellent and later Vernon in order to qualify for the rank. Having "Passed R.N.C." was just part of the process and to call them "graduates" seems an artificial label. Regards, — Simon Harley ( Talk | Library). 07:53, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Moonraker!
I noticed you recently removed a citation template from a couple references. I was just wondering, is there a problem with the template? I'm asking because I use that template frequently. Thanks! Wilhelm Meis ( ☎ Diskuss | ✍ Beiträge) 15:17, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
I address this request to you because I notice that you have an interest the St Augustine's Abbey article. Would you be so kind as to take a look at my draft User:Vejlefjord/St. Aug's Abbey (Draft) as a possible replacement? I had intended to expand the present article and add inline citations, but I found that much of it is word-for-word the same as other web sites without citations. E.g., the whole first paragraph is the same as http://www.touristlink.com/england/st-augustine-s-abbey.html and http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/churches-in-kent-books-llc/1103418568?ean=9781157087199. That along with gaps in information and dearth of sources cited led me to draft a possible replacement. Please give me your thinking about the draft’s possibilities and what needs to be done?
I have fond memories of the 1956-57 academic year that I spent at St Augustine's College, Canterbury (as a student from the USA) when it served as the Central College of the Anglican Communion and before the College area and the Abbey ruins were separated as they are now. Yes, that makes me very old. Vejlefjord ( talk) 17:34, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
It seems that we both enjoy editing articles for clarity. I had reviewed the article on Thomas Paine and made quite a few edits a few weeks ago, and now I see your edits. I do not wish to get into an edit war, nor to upset you by reverting all of your edits in one "Undo" edit. I thought I would discuss them with you and see if we can come to an agreement. I feel that a few of your edits were an improvement, but I disagree with a number of them. On a few others I am not sure, and I am asking a fellow editor for his opinion on them.
On the edits you made in the section "Line 21", visible in "View history", I do not agree with any of them. I think you added words that were unnecessary, making the article less concise.
I think you unnecessarily changed "he" to "Paine" too many times. When there is no other single male person mentioned nearby, it is clear that "he" is "Paine".
In the sentence describing his pamphlet "The Age of Reason", you changed "that advocates..., promotes..., and argues" to "advocating..., promoting..., and arguing". I think that here (not always), the direct tense is clearer and more elegant than the present participle. The only thing I would change is "advocates..., promotes..., and argues" to "advocated..., promoted..., and argued" (I realize they should be in past tense).
I do not think the word "the" is necessary before "debtors' prison".
"British writer Edmund Burke" is correct. "The" is not necessary before "British writer".
Paine "became deeply involved" in the French Revolution is better than "Paine became a participant" for two reasons: 1) "became deeply involved in" is much more interesting than "became a participant in". 2) When there is a choice between using a verb (or verb form) and a noun, the verb (or verb form) is usually the better choice. You could change "became a participant in" to "participated in", but that does not give any idea of the degree to which he participated, as the other phrase does.
"Firing", that is, "being fired", is American English. "Dismissal", meaning "firing", is British English. To most American ears, "dismissal" means when a teacher dismisses his or her students at the end of class or at the end of the school day. It is true that Paine was born in England. However, he was a major figure in the American War of Independence (or American Revolution), so I suggest the American "firing" or "fired" be used.
If I find any other things, I'll add them here. Do you feel strongly about the changes you made? Let's discuss. – CorinneSD ( talk) 19:39, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Could you revert this move? I think it deserves some serious discussion at the very least.
Statutory instruments in the UK are a UK-wide concept, that is why they are referred to as "UK Statutory Instruments", see: [1]. What is more many of the SI's have effect throughout the whole of the UK. The first listed there [2] is an example of such an SI. They are almost all made by the UK Parliament and are UK instruments not "Great Britain" instruments. While NI has statutory rules, they are complementary to, not supplementary of, UK-wide SI's. Just as Acts of the Scottish Parliament run alongside UK Acts. Francis Davey ( talk) 16:28, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Henry Ansell, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages FSA and Devonshire ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'm just not 100% sure about the image license so have asked Crisco to have a look - nothing else wrong with the nomination that I can see though; I also like doing historical articles from around that era!
