  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 23:11, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Members of the royal family receive Coronation and Jubilee medals as long as they are alive during their lifetime to the Coronation or Jubilee. JAMAMBTGE (talk) 02:30, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Arthur LeBlanc, you may be blocked from editing. DrKay (talk) 17:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

The following link is in black and white, but it can be clearly seen that HRH is wearing a medal. The ribbon is most likely Queen Elizabeth's Coronation Medal because it has multiple colors and is not a singular color like the Royal Family Order Ribbons. I do apologize if I said that HRH had received King Geroge 6th's coronation medal, but she did receive Queen Elizibith's coronation medal, and as a working member of the royal family she has also received every Jubilee and Coronation medal since. This can be proven by looking at HRH The Duke of Kent, who has received all of the Jubilee and Coronation medals.

That file disproves your theory. It shows her wearing one medal in 1954, which appears to be the 1953 coronation medal. Therefore, your claim that she received the 1937 medal aged 6 months is disproven. If you continue to make things up, you will be blocked. DrKay (talk) 17:13, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia. DrKay (talk) 17:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

That’s fine, I understand, but I have two questions. First, Does everything need to be sourced, because some things are just known? And If I were able to source the mistake I made, would it be kept up? JAMAMBTGE (talk) 22:54, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is guidance at Wikipedia:Verifiability. Typically, very obvious statements are not cited because no-one seriously challenges that material. Anything challenged should only be restored with a source that directly supports the material. DrKay (talk) 16:57, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Luke Montagu, Viscount Hinchingbrooke, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.

  Hello, I'm Scope creep. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Luke Montagu, Viscount Hinchingbrooke have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. scope_creepTalk 07:48, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

All good, thanks JAMAMBTGE (talk) 16:24, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hi JAMAMBTGE! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 23:50, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, and I apologize. JAMAMBTGE (talk) 00:34, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Templates

edit

We usually delete redundant templates. All but one of the links on {{Mountbatten-Windsor}} are repeated on {{Windsor family}}, so it is a prime candidate for deletion. The purpose of navboxes is to link articles together. If they are already linked through another navbox, there is no need to create another. DrKay (talk) 07:39, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

You clearly understand the rules better then I do. I apologize for any mistakes I have made, and if you spot them, please fix them. JAMAMBTGE (talk) 08:39, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

October 2024

edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Princess Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

'The Hon'

edit

I have reverted more than one of your edits that appear to show a lack of understanding of when 'the Hon' is used as a pre-nominal style, at least in British-themed areas. Whereas 'the Rt Hon' is rightly applied to Privy Counsellors and/or peers of the rank of earl, viscount and baron, 'the Hon' is for only the younger sons of peers of the rank of earl, and for all children of peers of the rank of viscount and baron. You seem to be under the assumption that all Members of Parliament not entitled to 'the Rt Hon <first name> <last name>' are, therefore, automatically 'the Hon <first name> <last name>'; however, this is wrong. It is possibly compounded by reference in the House of Commons chamber to 'the Honourable Member for <place>', yet this does not extend to their names, unlike 'the Rt Hon'.

I was under a different impression, but you are the expert. JAMAMBTGE (talk) 21:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
There are people more worthy of the label of 'expert' than I am, but this is a topic with which I am familiar enough to be confident to rest on my laurels. ZeroAlpha87 (talk) 22:13, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Duke of Sussex, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Montecito. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sortable tables

edit

Please stop adding "sortable" to tables if you are not going to go through and clean the tables up to sortable standards. Sort keys need to be added, either as {{Sortname}} or {{Sort}}, and columns that should not be sortable (such as portraits, pictures of ribbons, or notes and references columns) need to have class="unsortable" added to them.

So far I see Spouse of the prime minister of New Zealand, Pieter van Vollenhoven and List of awards and honours received by Hassanal Bolkiah, but I assume you will know if there are others. — HTGS (talk) 01:48, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Royal Victorian Order while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 07:06, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, This was not me. While I disagree with the decision to not have any icons on the Royal Victorian Order page, I respect it. I am also currently banned, something I additionally respect. I have looked at the IP address and it is not my location. It was also looked to make sure it was not the IP address I had before creating an Account and it is not. In fact, I live on a completely another side of the world. Also, I looked at the edits made by this account, and while I do think that's how the page should look, I don't like the crown used for the king. Sorry for the confusion.
