Hi Jack,

I reverted your edit as 'very renowned' is not good English. In general, something/someone is either renowned or not (unrenowned isn't used much these days). I guess if you're looking to expand on 'renowned' then world renowned might be a qualifier.

'Famous for' would probably be too flowery although I personally wouldn't object.

Hope this is ok. I'm not great at explaining things sometimes. Knitsey (talk) 17:26, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Knitsey: all right, no problem. JacktheBrown (talk) 18:17, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Italy

Hi, because you eliminated content with a source and added information without a source (for certain statements, sources are really needed). Hi, LukeWiller (talk) 17:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Hi, because this sentence has a reliable source. LukeWiller (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC) .[reply]
Because it is impossible for you to grammatically improve an article already copyedited by the gilda. LukeWiller (talk) 13:47, 23 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]
I would like to point out that the gilda has also carefully checked the contents. LukeWiller (talk) 14:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Topic ban violation

In this edit, you acknowledge that you are commenting about something that you are not permitted to comment about (presumably the RfC on The Telegraph and transgender topics). I'm not sure why you would think this is okay. It's not. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:35, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hey Jack, I know I've been short with you at certain points in the past, in a way that could've potentially been discouraging—but I've been seeing a lot of good work from you lately and wanted to thank you for it. I'm glad to see it. Cheers. Remsense ‥  21:50, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Remsense: it's also thanks to you that I've improved as a user. I'm studying all the rules VERY WELL, and I'm happy that my work is appreciated even more than before (I've also improved the edit summaries a lot, if you've noticed). JacktheBrown (talk) 22:00, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have! I'm happy it's working out for you. Remsense ‥  22:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BGerdemann (WMF): thank you. JacktheBrown (talk) 11:37, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. With reference to your recent edit to the above article: I would consider adding the link back into the article. Some readers may not have heard of 'Tuscan' or Tuscany and the link would be helpful to them. If a link complies with MOS:OVERLINK, it should be included. arcticocean ▪ 21:24, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Arcticocean: restored: [1]. JacktheBrown (talk) 21:38, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
