Diagnosis: Userpagious emptiosus edit
| WELCOME | Greetings and Welcome! I noticed that your username shows up red when you post an edit -- in case you were wondering why, this is because your userpage is devoid of content. If you were to place anything at all on your userpage (text, photographs, etc.), your username would then appear blue by default. By convention, most contributing editors who intend on becoming a part of the Wikipedia family generally place information about themselves on their userpages to let people know a little about themselves. As a result, editors whose usernames are still red may (however unjustly, yet, nonetheless) appear to other editors as lacking a serious motivation in both editing Wikipedia articles as well as joining the Wikipedia community at large. Although it is not at all required, I therefore recommend that you place something on your userpage, such as information relating to your city of residence or occupation -- basically anything that will allow another editor to identify with you and peer into your mind a bit. You can check out other editors' userpages to get an idea of what is normally included (find them easiest by checking the history tab on randomly chosen yet substantial articles), and even copy/paste from other editors' userpages (modifying the information to reflect your own, of course).

Hello. You moved Geoffrey (Archbishop of York) to Geoffrey, Archbishop of York. This goes against the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Clergy). Any specific reason for this move? Fram (talk) 20:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Angevin Empire infobox edit
Hello and thanks for the interest you showed in that article, as you may not know I largely wrote that article. To add an infobox definately was a good idea there however were a few things I wished to change in that infobox to avoid confusion with other eras and to add some more accuracy:
- I removed the flags and the banners. The Fleur-de-Lys quartered with the Lion-d'Anjou were not used back in those days. They would be introduced a lot later by Edward III, during the Hundred Years' War.
- I changed the "government type" section. Monarchy is true only in England, for the Angevin Empire we talk of a wider thing. I left Monarchy in but put it in perspective by nuancing saying it was feudalism in Normandy, Anjou and Aquitaine. I also mentioned it's sometimes refered to as a "commonwealth" as a whole.
- Year end: I changed it, the one you gave was the end of the Plantagenet dynasty, not of the Angevin Empire. I put two dates, the one that match the battle of bouvines and was the effective fall of the Empire, with the losses of Normandy and Anjou, and the second date is the end of the Saintonge War in which Henry III formalised the situation by recognising Normandy and Anjou were the property of the King of France. It's true further claims, starting by Edward III, would appear later but this is the Hundred Years' War and there were so important structural differences you cannot put a continuity between the two events. They clearly belong to different articles.
- List of leader: rather than putting the whole list of King of England I just put Henry II, Richard I and John which were the concerned ones.
- Capital: rather than leaving the section blank I put there were no centralised power. However the court often met in Chinon and that deserved to be mentioned.
- Language: I expanded it to include Gascony and the Breton speakers of Nantes.
