Ghassanid claim
[edit]Dear Sir, I'd like to know what are your arguments on declaring the Ghassanid claim a fantasy since it was not only legally recognized by courts in Brazil and the United States, but also by the US Congress and recently publicly recognized by the Vatican Secretariat of State. Are they all wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.247.72.196 (talk) 06:15, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 30
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tercio of Sicily, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Galicia, Zamora and William of Orange. 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.

Your CSD nomination of Hello Neighbor

[edit]
Hello Kimon. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Matt Hall (Geoscientist). It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. A7 in this case; but at 12 minutes the spirit is still the same. Also, it was a bad A7 nomination - company ownership is a credible claim of significance. VQuakr (talk) 05:34, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Avetik Chalabyan article up for deletion
[edit]Hi Kimon! About 2 years ago I wrote a biography of a living person article [Chalabyan]. The article has been recently marked as up for deletion. Any advice on why this might be happening, how to address it or what to improve would really be appreciated. Obviously, your vote as an experienced editor on Wiki would really go a long way to make sure it's not deleted.
Thanks in advance for your attention to the matter.

Lords of the Manor
[edit]Dear Kimon, Thank you for your message which I have received. I am due to go on holiday tomorrow and will be away all week, so this is an interim reply as a courtesy to let you know that I will reply in the W/C 10 June once I am back. With best wishes, Armchair66. Armchair66 (talk) 18:32, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
Lords of the Manor
[edit]Dear Kimon,
Many thanks for your patience, I am now back from holiday (I brought back with me a rather bad cold and a chest infection!) but as I am now fully recovered, I would like to respond as I promised to do. The first thing I would say is that I am not a historian. So, I won’t spend long on historical aspects as it is not an area of expertise that I have. However, my father did tell me much about the history of Lords of the Manor and this was confirmed by what my solicitor told me, when I acceded to the Lordship upon the death of my father, who left the Lordship to me in his will. To say, as John Martin Robinson does, that a Lord of the Manor is no more a lord than the landlord of the Dog and Duck, is not borne out by historical facts that are commonly known. For example, in earlier times, Lords of the Manor not only owned the land that comprised the Manor but also had power over the people who lived on his Manor. He was their Judge, and indeed, had the power at various times in history to put a man or woman to death. No one could leave or come to live on his Manor without his agreement.
Amongst many other things, he was also responsible within his Manor for many of the things Local Authorities (County Councils and the London Boroughs) are responsible for now. Maintaining roads, ditches, bridges, waterways and so forth. He was responsible for collecting taxes on behalf of the Sovereign from those living on his Manor and at times for ensuring the males in his Manor were trained in the skills (as they were then) of warfare, so they could be called to fight for the Sovereign if need be. (As happened on the Isle of Wight, the Wikipedia article on the Isle of Wight correctly states, in part, that “The French invasion on 21 July 1545 (famous for the sinking of the Mary Rose on the 19th) was repulsed by local militia.” What it does not say was that the local militia there at that time consisted of a very small standing army that was necessarily augmented, on the occasion of this surprise invasion, by the men of the many Manors of the Island, the various Lords of the Manor leading this augmentation. Had this invasion not been defeated, England may subsequently have had a different history to that which it has today. (The French wanted the Isle of Wight as a staging point from which to launch their fleet and army into England).
Lords of the Manor introduced Bailiffs, who were responsible for the enforcement of law and order within their respective Manor and who had powers of arrest over alleged lawbreakers who they would bring before the Lord of the Manor or his appointed Steward, for trial and sentence. Here we have the start of the evolution of policing.
Lords of the Manor introduced a unified coinage, which bore, and still bears to this day, the head of the Sovereign on one side. In doing so, they began what we now call ‘the Economy’. Lords of the Manor introduced trading abroad, mainly in textiles at first. As a result, over the years, Manors became prosperous (as did the Sovereign who benefitted from the taxes) and some Manor grew to become towns and cities. So, to say that Lords of the Manor were or are, merely landlords equating to landlords of public houses, is misleading and incorrect. Lords of the Manor who registered their Manors with HM Land Registry prior to 13th Oct 2013, still retain many Manorial Rights, some of which also place duties and/or responsibilities upon the Lord of the Manor.
Both my father, and the solicitor who acted for me in transferring the Deed of Conveyance and Assignment on the death of my father, told me that during earlier times, Feudal Lords (Barons and Lords of the Manor) were the Nobles of England along with a growing number of Earls and Knights. There is no doubt that Earls and Feudal Lords (whether Barons or Lords of the Manor) were, until the Peerage was developed, the Nobles of England. When the Peerage became established, and I cannot recall the date when this is generally accepted to have happened, Peers became the “Greater Nobility” and Feudal Lords took second place as “Minor Nobility” - but remained nobility and that position my father and my solicitor (as said, a specialist in Archaic Law (such a specialist is necessary because the law relating to Feudal Lords falls within the remit of lawyers who specialise in Archaic Law)) were both very clear about. My father could have been mistaken (he wasn’t a historian either), but it is very, very unlikely indeed that a solicitor who has specialised in Archaic Law for very many years, would be mistaken.
It is difficult to cite specific documents because my understanding is that much has been lost in antiquity; and as said, I am not myself a historian. I also notice that the citations given in the relative Wikipedia articles, relate more to a particular person’s opinion/s on an issue, rather than citations of actual factual historical documents (the reference to John Martin Robinson’s opinion is an example – but I have to say that I believe his opinion to be without merit). But my father was particularly knowledgeable; as was the solicitor who acted for me when I acceded to the Lordship. Constitutionally, all the Lordships of the United Kingdom, including Feudal Lordships, have their origin in the Crown; and may only be deposed by the Crown. By virtue of this alone, all Lordships, whether Peers or Feudal, are noble (whether greater or lesser), in the United Kingdom. I would therefore respectfully ask you to reconsider re-instating my 1st edit to the effect that Feudal Lords are indeed Noblemen or Minor Nobles, whichever expression you prefer.
Moving to my second edit, when I acceded to my Lordship, the solicitor who acted for me (who, as said, is a specialist in Archaic Law) advised me at the end of the procedure that now I had legally acceded to the Lordship, my title had changed from Mr to Lord. He strongly advised me to contact various people to inform them of the change and to submit a copy of the Deed of Conveyance and Assignment, as they would require this as proof. I did as I was advised.
Absolutely everyone, without exception, who I contacted accepted the change in title and amended my title in their records. Some examples from what was a very long, list include Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), my local Council, the Department of Health, the NHS and it’s various subordinate Health Authorities, both of my 2 Government Pension agencies, the Utility companies (Water, Gas, Electricity), DVLA and various businesses such as my burglar alarm firm, my TV and Broadband provider, all my insurance firms and so the list goes on. I should also add that my father’s service papers, throughout his career in the Army and discharge his papers, all refer to him and/or address him as “Major The Lord [his name]”. The fact that UK Departments of State (and in my father’s case also, the Armed Forces of the Crown), businesses and so on, all acknowledge that a Lord of the Manor is entitled to the title Lord, surely speaks volumes about what is recent and current custom and practice. When it came to the Bank, I was told that for reasons of compliance with recent money laundering legislation I would need to come in person to see the assistant branch manager. I did so, and after completing the various checks and submitting the required documentation, we got chatting. During our conversation the assistant branch manager showed me the Bank’s Procedure document which she had up on her PC screen to guide her through the process. I read the piece on Lords of the Manor. I cannot now remember it verbatim but it began by saying that customers who have become Lords of the Manor will request a change in title to Lord. It went on to say that Lords of the Manor were members of the minor nobility of the UK and that such requests were to be granted on completion of the procedure, which it then outlined. It said that once the procedure had been completed, new cheque books and bank cards were to be ordered showing the changed title (i.e. “Lord [ Initials, Name])”. It went on to list the other bank records and reminded that they would need to be updated/amended too (i.e. I recall the customer’s internet banking account was one of them). I think all this is relevant because I am trying to demonstrate to you that it is indeed the accepted custom and practice for Lords of the Manor to be known as Lord [Name] in the UK.
Since I returned from holiday, I have managed to speak with 37 other Lords of the Manor (who I know because we meet twice a year for a dinner) by telephone, and they all confirm that they received the same advice from their respective Solicitors which they followed; with the same result that I report above.
People become Lords of the Manor due to various reasons. Some may purchase a Lordship of the Manor as an investment for their children or grandchildren, some inherit the Lordship and so forth. Quite a number of us undertake small charitable things in our localities when we are asked to, such as presenting awards to Army, Sea and Air Cadets, Police Cadets, young people qualifying in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, Awards in Schools, Opening events, Citizenship Ceremonies and so forth. Some of us are often asked to be after dinner speakers at charitable events, and so on. Many of us are also asked to sit on community consultative groups and committees, sometimes as members, sometimes to chair them. What I am trying to say is that there is a whole raft of things that Lords of the Manor do in the communities in which they live. As a result, it is not unusual to be well known in our respective local communities. I know that there is no such thing, for me, as ‘nipping quickly to the Co-op up the road’ to get some milk or whatever. People will greet me on the way and often want to chat (and it is a pleasure to do so – even if I am occasionally in a bit of a hurry). I and my colleague Lords of the Manor are nearly always greeted with “Good Morning Lord [Name]” by local people, by the local police, by councillors and so on.
There is no doubt in my mind, that it is absolutely true to say that it is indeed the custom and practice for a Lord of the Manor to be addressed as Lord [Name]; both by official bodies, government bodies or businesses and the public at large. I have to stalwartly, but respectfully, disagree with the reason given for editing out my edit, which was “Patently Untrue”. I have to say, with due respect, that it simply is not patently untrue Kimon. I would therefore respectfully ask you to reconsider re-instating my 2nd edit to the effect that it is certainly Customary in recent times, for Lords of the Manor to be known as Lord [name], Lord of the Manor of [Place name] or Lord [Name] of [Place name]. Otherwise we find ourselves in a strange world where Wikipedia definitively say it is not custom and practice, but notwithstanding, it is nevertheless exactly what happens in real life, day in and day out, here in the UK.
Kimon, I hope you will not be offended by anything I have expressed above, as said I am not a historian by any means beyond the 6th Form at School (a very long time ago!). I am also very new to Wikipedia and if I have breached etiquette along the way, I apologise. I hope you will be able to give what I have said, your consideration.
For Completeness and the avoidance of doubt, I should add that Lords of the Manor should not be equated with Scottish Lairds – Scottish Lairds are an entirely different kettle of fish, as they would be the first to agree.
I look forward to learning of your decision,
With very best wishes, respectfully, Armchair66. Armchair66 (talk) 15:11, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

+rollback
[edit]
Hi Kimon,
After reviewing your request, I have added your account to the rollback group. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Users should be informed (or warned) after their edits have been reverted. If warnings repeatedly don't help, WP:ANI is the default place to go. In cases of very clear ongoing intentional damage to the encyclopedia, WP:AIV can be used.
- Reverting someone's edits may confuse or upset them. Whenever other users message you on your talk page, please take the time to respond to their concerns; accountability is important. For most users who message you, the tone and quality of your answer will permanently influence their opinion about Wikipedia in general.
- Because the plain default rollback link does not provide any explanatory edit summary, it must not be used to revert good faith contributions, even if these contributions are disruptive. Take the time to write a proper summary whenever you're dealing with a lack of neutrality or verifiability; a short explanation like "
[[WP:NPOV|not neutral]]" or "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" is helpful. - Rollback may never be used to edit war, which you'll notice to be surprisingly tempting in genuine content disputes. Please especially keep the three-revert rule in mind. If you see others edit warring, please file a report at WP:ANEW. The most helpful essay I've ever seen is WP:DISCFAIL; it is especially important for those who review content regularly.
- If you encounter private information or threats of physical harm during your patrols, please quickly use Special:EmailUser/Oversight or Special:EmailUser/Emergency; ideally bookmark these pages now. See WP:OS and WP:EMERGENCY for details. If you're regularly patrolling recent changes, you will need both contacts sooner or later, and you'll be happy about the bookmarks.
To try rollback for the first time, you may like to make an edit to WP:Sandbox, and another one, and another one, and then revert the row with one click. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about rollback. Thank you for your time and work in cleaning up Wikipedia. Happy editing!
Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:21, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
