New medieval genealogy source

I stumbled upon this website being used as a source in the Lambert, Count of Hesbaye article.

I was curious what your opinion was of this website. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:16, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kansas Bear Looks pretty solid to me. They describe their "public refereeing" process in detail, which is quite similar to peer review. The eponymous biography on Henry II has inline-citations for all claims and an extensive bibliography. Most pages on the website are like that. I think this meets the criteria for WP:SCHOLARSHIP-type reliable sources. NLeeuw (talk) 17:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Ok. Thanks, Nederlands Leeuw!--Kansas Bear (talk) 19:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Sfn/Harv no-target error in Boris of Tver

Hello, @Nederlandse Leeuw. A recent contribution to Boris of Tver has lead to a sfn/harv no-target error due to missing work in the Bibliography section of the article. Please add "Martin 2007" to ensure verifiability of the source. Thank you, Thecowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 00:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Translated articles

Hi there, Nederlandse Leeuw, and thank you for creating Tetyana Vilkul. I realized it was based on a translation of the Ukrainian article and marked it as such on the talk page. When you create articles from another Wikipedia language version, for attribution purposes you should mention this in your first edit comment (or in a later edit comment if you forget to do so). You can find more info under Help:Translation. If you intend to create more biographies of women, you might find it useful to become a member of WikProject Women in Red where we are trying to improve coverage of women on Wikipedia. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Ipigott You're welcome! Funny you think I translated that article from Ukrainian to English. In fact, I wrote the article in English first, and then translated it to Ukrainian myself, both yesterday, a few hours apart.   Since both articles are mine, no translation attribution is needed. (Don't worry, I've been translating cross-wiki for over 10 years, so I've done lots of attributions before).
I suppose I could join Women in Red; I'm practically already a member through my contributions over the years. Cheers, NLeeuw (talk) 15:45, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
  • My sincere apologies. Unexpected amazing performance in two languages the same day! In future, if I come across similar issues with editors as experienced as you, I'll look more closely at the dates. With all your experience and interests, it certainly would be useful to have you as a member of Women in Red.--Ipigott (talk) 16:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
    @Ipigott Oh no need to apologise, I'll take it as a compliment that you thought my Ukrainian article seemed like it was written by a native speaker. (It was in fact the very first full article I've ever written on Ukrainian Wikipedia, though with a lot of machine translation and dictionary help; I'm still a beginner  ).
    I've accepted your invitation and added Women in Red to my userboxes. That was probably gonna happen sooner or later. I'm available for working together if anyone in WIR could use my knowledge or expertise. NLeeuw (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
