Your contributed article, The Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – The Federalist Papers. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Federalist Papers. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. The_stuart (talk) 03:48, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page George Barnes (British politician) has been reverted.
Your edit here to George Barnes (British politician) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/109792770489900/photos/a.109811783821332/109948950474282/?type=3&theater) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an image file on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable image.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 00:28, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Prahlad balaji. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Public Oversight (United States) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:23, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Public Oversight (United States), you may be blocked from editing. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:49, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Recent articles and editing

Hello. I came across your editing at Milner's Kindergarten (I can kind of see why you chose that username) and went from there (eventually) to Doullens Conference and saw that your draft of Abbeville Conference was declined (I understand why it was declined, but think it has great potential). I also saw the discussion at Milner's article talk page here and your extensive mining of primary sources (newspaper articles from The Times) on that talk page. While I have a fondness for rummaging through old newspaper articles myself, that sort of thing does need to be watched carefully (for reasons that are very logical but can take a while to explain). I actually got onto this topic while reading about Thomas Jones (civil servant) - it was the other 'secretary' (i.e. civil servant) in the British side of the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations who was part of Milner's Kindergarten (Lionel Curtis). Anyway, I just wanted to try and say that I appreciate your editing, but can see that you might run into more problems at some point. For example, the external links to articles from The Times in the text at Milner's Kindergarten is something that needs clearing up at some point. This is the point where I should offer to help, but I don't always have time to do that (and not over the next few weeks), but I might be able to point you in the right direction. Carcharoth (talk) 21:44, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

In response to your message, I left links to "The Times" in the talk section of the following wikipedia pages:

1. Alfred Lord Milner

2. Viscountess Milner

3. Milner's Kindergarten

I did this as an aid for other members. If there is a quality problem, or some other problem relating to newspaper sources, please let me know. Thank you. Lord Milner (talk)

Replying here to your reply (which I have copied back here). Leaving such links on article talk pages is usually fine but not always that helpful, as what needs to be used is high-quality secondary sources (usually academic ones) where the authors (not us) have done the digging through primary sources and published the results of their research. Usually it is only acceptable (and sometimes not even then) to use newspaper sources to verify or include additional information, and even then only if secondary sources deem the matter worth mentioning, and only if it is not distorting the article and not giving undue weight to certain things. The problem with Milner's Kindergarten is that it looked like this on 29 May 2020 just before your first edit to it, and it now looks like this, which is fine as far as the content goes (as far as I can tell), but the 'Reconstruction' and 'Non Kindergarteners' sections still have those external links to articles in The Times. I can see similar external links in Alfred Milner, 1st Viscount Milner and Violet Milner, Viscountess Milner. Those need to either be moved to the talk page, or turned into proper references. You may be interested in Template:Cite newspaper The Times. Carcharoth (talk) 03:15, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

External links

Please do not insert external links into article text as you did here. This is not appropriate. For guidance on how to add external links, and which links are appropriate, may be found at Wikipedia:External links. Thank you, DuncanHill (talk) 17:34, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Also, see my edit here. It is not appropriate to link to search results within a source like you had done. DuncanHill (talk) 17:41, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Moving pages

Hi Lord Milner, I came across your request to rename your draft article on the talk page. I've moved it for you, but you can find information on how to do this yourself in the future at HELP:MOVE. Remember to make sure that article titles reflect the most commonly used English-language name for the subject.

Regrading your draft article (now at Draft:Dury, Compiègne and Abbeville Conferences), I suggest you take a look at Doullens Conference, which appears to have some overlap. That article lists the date of the Abbeville Conference as 1–2 May 1918, whereas your draft lists it as March 25 – I presume these were separate events, in which case "conference" might not be the common name for the smaller meetings that your draft article is about. It may be better to find a different title – what do the sources call the meetings? You might want to tie the two articles together and take a look at the sources used there, so that the articles complement each other . I'm not a subject expert and don't have the time to do reading on it myself. All the best, Jr8825 • Talk 15:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Era of Good Feelings

I've reverted your unilateral move of this article. A move that controverts a number of sources, including the online Encyclopaedia Britannica, clearly requires consensus on the article's talk page. You need to follow the instructions at WP:RM#CM, though I doubt you will gain consensus for such a move. Deor (talk) 21:29, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

I note that you overruled the advice given to you in WP:Teahouse: "Obviously, I'm from the United States, and there is no discussion about this. We are all taught the same." Whether they're from Abkhazia, Zimbabwe or indeed the US, editors are welcome to propose article moves or oppose such proposals, citing reliable sources. What schoolchildren are allegedly taught is of little concern. You also tampered with earlier comments on Talk:Era of Good Feelings. Please do not tamper with earlier comments. I have reverted all your recent edits to that talk page; you are welcome to make discrete additions to it in ways that make clear who added these comments and when. -- Hoary (talk) 23:16, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

@Liz It's an essay though, it's not just citations. PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:48, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia itself is not considered a reliable source: Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source#:~:text=Wikipedia is not a reliable source for citations elsewhere on,in progress, or simply incorrect.. To say this is an essay means I am advocating a certain viewpoint, but that's not the case. All statements are cited by footnotes that have courtroom credibility, and in 1925, "The Times" published the truth about Lord Milner's accomplishment as important news. I have a copy of this, and I will load it to Wikimedia so you can be read it. BTW, I am not related to him. Lord Milner (talk) 20:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC) (< him :))

August 2022: Lord Milner timeline

Hello, I am just an ordinary editor who has noticed your enquiry at the Teahouse. I don't know what other feedback you have received on your timeline thus far, but here are my immediate impressions:

• Why write a biography about a relatively obscure individual from history in the form of a very lengthy timeline? This is atypical and lacks narrative continuity and insight. In what way might it advance the body of human knowledge?
• For a person of Milner's notability, it is far, far, far too long. Dinner with the King? pfffft
• You have posted this at EverybodyWiki. Why hope that Wikipedia will accept it in its present form? This is an encyclopedia, which is not to serve as the "last word" on any subject. A 300-word-maximum article would be much more informative, provided it covered the highlights of his career.
• A timeline with approximately 1,000 entries defeats its own purpose, even if it's the timeline of Humanity! And, if this person is notable, why is he only now being covered in Wikipedia, despite your ability to write something with 1,500 footnotes about him? Are you obsessed?
• Note that I don't know what advice you've received previously regarding this timeline, but you should take it, as it is likely to have foreshadowed my own advice.Sincerely--Quisqualis (talk) 04:57, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice. I don't know what EverybodyWiki is. These wikipedia troll like websites somehow parody Wikipedia and make it look original. They appear to tailor to specific audiences. This submission may best be placed in Scholarpedia (which is wikipedia approved), where it will be protected from editing. When I started, I didn't know how long it would be, but I wanted a complete timeline because Alfred Milner was vilified in some parts of England as a behind the scenes manipulator and an orchestrator of wars for profit. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=Lord+Milner%27s+Second+War&sxsrf=ALiCzsaC0Ilwd4M18dIx57JovsQJpRlGMw:1661147632900&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv-M-U4dn5AhUeFFkFHXZ2AL0Q_AUoAnoECAIQBA&biw=1792&bih=1040&dpr=2#spd=12161886056322360334

https://www.google.com/search?q=Lord+Milner%27s+Second+War&sxsrf=ALiCzsaC0Ilwd4M18dIx57JovsQJpRlGMw:1661147632900&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv-M-U4dn5AhUeFFkFHXZ2AL0Q_AUoAnoECAIQBA&biw=1792&bih=1040&dpr=2#spd=12161886056322360334

The truth is quite the opposite, and this timeline proves it. I can shorten it, but with the internet space is not a problem. I like the detail, and I hope to add a picture or two more if I can find high quality ones. I hope you're not put off by its length.🙂

I can copy and paste the file back into my sandbox. What do you suggest? Lord Milner (talk) 06:19, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Those statements need a cited reliable source please. MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:32, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. It's not a big deal for me. I posted it in the talk section, because there is great confusion on the topic. Lord Milner (talk) 13:40, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@MichaelMaggs, is this message really meant for edits on talkpages? They're not articles. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

What I was referring to was discussion further down the talk page, where contributors said the writers didn't know what they were talking about. I am not a lawyer, but I do know about this, and these others are welcome to fix the Wikipedia article for readers to make sense of. I have my own page, here, which I hope you find useful: https://thelawresourcepage.quora.com/ Lord Milner (talk) 15:07, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Common_law#Narrowing_of_differences_between_common_law_and_civil_law, seems to go into that (the text MM reverted), perhaps you have some good sources to improve the section. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:14, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Oh dear - many apologies, Lord Milner. I've struck the comment. MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:03, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Lives of Lord Alfred Milner and Sir Winston Churchill

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Lives of Lord Alfred Milner and Sir Winston Churchill requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Lives of Winston Churchill and Alfred Milner. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Teahouse

Please do not advise new editors to try to learn how to edit Wikipedia by watching random YouTube videos. Some of these videos may be OK but many of them are terrible, and a new editor may not be able to distinguish between the good ones and the bad ones. Please keep your recommendations within Wikipedia. Please also be sure that your statements about things like use of sandboxes are accurate. Some editors use their sandbox space as I do, some use draft space, some write drafts off-line, and some highly skilled editors can write new articles directly in main space. The bottom line is that you should be reasonably sure that your answer is accurate before you post it to the Teahouse. Thanks. Cullen328 (talk) 01:43, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Public oversight (United States)

Hello, Lord Milner. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Public oversight".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thomas Bentley Mott moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Thomas Bentley Mott, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:26, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I'm all wrapped up in World War I stuff right now, but Mott's importance is that his writing is the most credible book written on Marshal Foch, who like Zeus, the God of War, descended from heaven to save the Allies, and then retired into obscurity like George Washington.

Hi, I just received notice that I've been blocked, and I would like to dispute that. I think people are overreacting to "The Life Timeline of Lord Milner". However, if this is for something else, I will certainly address that. My last edit, as I recall, was in the talk section of "William Basil Worsfold". Thank you. Lord Milner (talk) 17:36, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Multiple instances of overt racism were the majority of the reason for the block. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I have no idea what ANI is, and the above post is very offensive. Please have my ban reversed, and I promise to never repost articles that were declined. I didn't know this was against wikipedia's policy. Lord Milner (talk) 17:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

The 'some' link is a comment appropriate for the talk section of the page. I believe that's where I posted it. If it's not liked, you can discuss it there. Lord Milner (talk) 18:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

The 'of' item is in the talk section of a page. Lord Milner (talk) 18:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Firs: It has been said that the fruit fly contains ~96% of the DNA as a white man; thus, the black race is the same as the white. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

The 'absolute' item is in the talk section of a page. I am a former Army officer. I have an MBA, and when I went through our officer candidate program (OCS), none of my classmates had a single college credit. The talk section of a page is where people who disagree can post an argument, where it will be discussed, and, hopefully, the right answer can be reached.

I certainly didn't violate the civility policy of wikipedia. The policy refers to personal attacks. Lord Milner (talk) 00:03, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

A newcomer with 11k edits? What? Qcne (talk) 15:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

That came from civility page guidelines. I'm reading talk page guidelines right now. Why are you on talk pages? Lord Milner (talk) 15:31, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Where have I made disruptive edits? Nowhere. Why do you dwell on talk pages from years ago? Lord Milner (talk) 15:35, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Inappropriate behavior in 'talk' relates to trolling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines Problems in talk should be discussed in talk, and if it is still a problem, it should be taken to dispute resolution. Lord Milner (talk) 15:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Third, is there a connection between dark colored skin and backwardness; the two just mesh hand in hand. That is appropriate? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

This too, is in the talk section of a page that hasn't been responded to. Otherwise, we would have a discussion. I do not stand on a soapbox with this. Lord Milner (talk) 18:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Wikipedia:The Lives of Lord Alfred Milner and Sir Winston Churchill

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

My apologies to Deor, because I just read her comment, and I missed her instructions (we posted at the same time, & I didn't go back and review the thread).

I would like you to know that I am a serious poster, an autoconfirmed contributor, I have an MBA, 172 college credits, and I take my work very seriously. On certain items, above, articles were removed as 'original research', despite authentic footnotes and references, which I link to the Internet Archive whenever possible. They should review the footnotes and reference sources. If you like Wikipedia, you will love the Internet Archive.

Just now I have been banned for disruptive edits. However, I never interrupted anyone's edit. Ever. A comment in a talk section of a page is not an edit. I feel as if I'm being hurt by political correctness, which stifles ideas and learning, and prevents the truth from being told. I learned that healthy debating brings forth the best ideas of both sides, so that an optimum solution can be reached. Besides, if I offend anyone in the talk section of a page, I would feel bad about it, and I would remove the material. However, this complaint happened after I brought a World War I related page to mainspace...

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A_List_of_Doullens_Conference_Witnesses&direction=prev&oldid=1221556761

...one of extremely high quality and with the best references, which offended editors, who then proceeded to troll me. I don't believe they knew they were picking up talk pages, or that the standards in 'talk' are less than in mainspace. For this, I ask that my article be posted, and that I be allowed to continue along my merry way. Thank you. Lord Milner (talk) 19:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

The only truth that is relevant in this discussion is that you have abused Wikipedia to post your utterly ignorant and grossly offensive racist comments. Wikipedia is not a platform for 'debate', it is a collaborative project to build an encyclopaedia, involving contributors from all sorts of backgrounds, worldwide. If you are really incapable of understanding why your comments are inherently incompatible with such a project, that's your problem, not ours. We don't need you. And we don't need your tedious Lord-Milner boosterism either. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:53, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

The talk page is certainly where views are exchanged. Considering your profile, you should be with me. What's wrong? Do you advocate trolling? Lord Milner (talk) 20:04, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

What's wrong? You are. About the purpose of Wikipedia talk pages. About appropriate behaviour in a collaborative project. And about the purpose of Wikipedia itself for that matter. Wikipedia has many faults, but acting as a platform for clueless bigotry isn't one of them. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I am all about this collaborative project. Be about references, footnotes, and doing your homework. Please eliminate this immature environment. Lord Milner (talk) 20:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

People here are about power, but not productivity. How did you get here? Lord Milner (talk) 20:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
