Tribulations about Tabourie

Hi Epistemos. Thankyou for your recent contributions and moving the article on Lake Tabourie (or is it Tabourie Lake?). I have noted on the talk page that there are some conflicting sources on the official name of the village. If you are interested, would you weigh in with an opinion or help me to clarify the conventions in such a situation? Dfadden (talk) 13:29, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trifolium campestre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hop. 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.

Why would You change the Arncliffe Page

Your not even from arncliffe or have any knowledge of the area and you decided you could edit the page and dismiss the updated information. You don't deserve this baklava Michaelangelo Angel (talk) 11:19, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

British English

Hi, I've undone one of your moves. In British English, Governor is capitalised in that context as the representative of HMQ. Regards, W C M_email 21:09, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

British or any English that I am aware of; it is Her Majesty The Queen, BUT the queens or kings or earl or countesses or viscounts or rulers or plenipotentiaries of England or anywhere. Likewise, it is The Governor of X, Lord Algernon Muck or simply The Governor where it is implicit that Lord Muck governing, or having governed, X is referred to, BUT in the plural Lord Muck and mates were (and one may still be) governors. You shall (or should not) find "List of Kings.... List of Counts..." on Wikipedia nor should we have inflicted upon us "Lists of Governors...". No disrespect for Her Gracious is inherent in my move, simple grammar demandeth such. Regards Epistemos (talk) 08:55, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chatswood

Just so I make myself very clear - I am a third generation resident of Chatswood with European ancestry who settled in the area. I live, breathe and work Chatswood. I'm a local teacher, Local Historian working with the association and also a member of Chatswood's West Ward Progress Association. I am one of the leading authorities on OUR local history and I am failing to understand why on earth you feel the need to constantly remove information that has been added that is HISTORICALLY CORRECT.

Localteacher1 (talk) 11:44, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References are needed NOT unreferenced local knowledge and you are clearly not an English teacher so you should consult one to avoid constructions such as 1950's which is a plural not a possessive. Epistemos (talk) 11:50, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
