July 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to SCA heavy combat may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

request a defeated combatant die a dramatic death for good [[Showmanship (performing)|showmanship]]).

Move request

I haven't performed the move request, although perhaps someone else will.

While I understand the rationale, (I think), I notice the target SCA Armored Combat is fully capitalized. I'm not convinced that is correct. Can you check into it and see if SCA armored combat would be a better choice?--S Philbrick (Talk) 16:58, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I did not think about that. I guess lowercase would be correct because the name is more descriptive than a proper noun, like kung fu is not capitalized.NicoloSt (talk) 17:07, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SCA Armoured Combat

Hi Nicolo, it's actually not an SCA rule, it's a Wikipedia rule(MOS:RETAIN). The article is written in Non US spelling, so all words in page have to be in Non US spelling, you can't have some words in one type of English and others in another type. As for Armour or "Armoured combat"...I don't believe there is a standard worldwide spelling, spelling differs depending on what country. I'm in Lochac, the word in Australia is spelt with a U, and that is how it is spelt in the Official Lochac Fighters handbook: http://lochac.sca.org/marshal/handbook/marshalsHandbook.html Deathlibrarian (talk) 22:55, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Nicolo - If an article is written in one variety of English, there are specific Rules for when you can change an article's to another variety of English spelling - they are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Strong_national_ties_to_a_topic. If the Article has strong national ties to a country (like if the it's about the Tower of London, or the American Civil War, then you could change it). However the SCA is not tied to the US in that way, so the changes wouldn't be warranted.Deathlibrarian (talk) 00:14, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Flail (weapon), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Morning star. 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.

Disambiguation link notification for January 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lajos Kassai, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Equestrian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Agenda

Hi, I just wanted to add, if you're concerned about my 'agenda', please see User:Sebthepleb/sandbox for what I hope is proof that I'm not here to slag the SCA. Thank you and have a nice day. Sebthepleb (talk) 18:02, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
