Royalty barnstar

The Royalty and Nobility Barnstar
Caponer,

This may be the first award I've given out, but I felt it was well-merited. I happily award this barnstar to you, as I feel you are not recognized enough for your efforts! In particular, I love all of the templates relating to such royal dynasties as the House of Württemberg and Thurn and Taxis. I can tell they took a lot of time and effort! Keep up the good work, and let me know if you ever need any help!

Ruby2010 (talk) 19:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

It was my pleasure. :) Keep up the good work on those WV articles too, as I'm sure they're equally if not more important than our royalty articles (seeing as how many of them are about real places!). I and I'm sure everyone else on the royalty/nobility team will of course welcome you back when you've finished with your current article queue!

P.S. I enjoyed your recent article List of places named after Robert Byrd. Congrats on the DYK nomination! Ruby2010 (talk) 04:17, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Category:Knights of the Militaire Willems Order

Hi Caponer. I just declined you nomination for speedy deletion of this category. Looks like you are in the process of some major shuffling of the Dutch Knighthood, so there is probably a good reason to get rid of the category. However, the {{empty}} template only applies to articles. The right one for categories is {{db-c1}}. The reason I didn't just replace with this is that there are at present five members of the category. Favonian (talk) 23:38, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Leonora, Princess Victor

Thanks for the compliments :-) I'm tending toward using the jewellery theft; what do you think of "...that robbers stole $80,000 worth of jewellery from Leonora, Princess Victor of Thurn and Taxis, but ignored a necklace worth $400,000?" This is 137 characters, well under the 200 max. Nyttend (talk) 02:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

You're quite welcome! Just curious, could you find birth or death dates? Their absence isn't a good reason not to take it to DYK, but it's still significant. Nyttend (talk) 02:26, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
So her name was Lida, not Leonora? Nyttend (talk) 04:04, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Urgent help required, please.

User:The Ogre seems to be biased concerning genealogies. He repeatedly deletes information about the Royal line of O'Neill alledging that "this is not a genealogical site", and even deleted the simple mention of the names of the Cardinals of Portugal. I mean, how can royal genealogies be irrelevant in pages which reason to be here is exactly their descent and royal lineage and their succession? Why has genealogy to be excluded and unknown? Not only is knowledge but a science on its own. Wikipedia isn't a medical site either!... He is also being attacked for other unorthodox views on his talk page. And he acts as if because he's Portuguese and the O'Neill chiefs are Portuguese that he can intervene as he likes to do on Portuguese pages and simplify the O'Neill pages regardless of the more vast procedure with Royal European pages. Perhaps you, as an inclusionist, can solve this together with me? Phoebus de Lusignan (talk) 14:47, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Tatiana von Fürstenberg

I need some help concerning the article on Tatiana von Fürstenberg. Cameron Scott (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) claims that the websites are not reliable. Perhaps your expert on genealogy could solve this argument. Thank you. LoveActresses (talk) 15:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Please, also join the discussion Reliability on genealogy websites on WP:RSN. Thank you. LoveActresses (talk) 16:22, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Also, take a look at the issue of Amy Acker's parents' names and its sourcing. Thanks. LoveActresses (talk) 17:24, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
I also want to suggest you the move of article Princess Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark to a page that has the name Tatiana on it. I mean, it's quite unusual and even ugly to call her by her husband's first name, that doesn't happen to other Princesses. I mean, Princess Charles of Wales??? Or Princess/Duchess Andrew of York??? LoveActresses (talk) 17:40, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Thank you. Either way, some centuries ago, such a custom would be aberrant. LoveActresses (talk) 15:07, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Colross

The article Colross you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Colross for things which need to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:09, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Assistance required, please.

I've read somewhere once that "you're an inclusionist". Also, you seem to have knowledge about sources and sourcing. I have some issues to present you about the repetead reverts of User:Agricola, for which I require your attention:

With my regards. LoveActresses (talk) 11:58, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

PS: Also, another user removed some elements from Eyre Coote (British Army officer) claiming that wargs.com is not a WP:RS, and specifically says on that page that information "should not be considered either exhaustive or definitive, but rather as a first draft.", subjectively interpreting that "first draft", which means, incomplete, instead means "false". If you know or can confirm the removed data in some way that can validate wargs.com, I thank you. LoveActresses (talk) 12:09, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, take a new look on Tatiana von Fürstenberg. Someone like you knows for sure, unlike the others, that her deleted biographyt is accurate, since everyone knows who she is. If you can find sources for the deleted contents, I also thank you. LoveActresses (talk) 15:07, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Maria Maximilianovna

Hey Caponer,

I just created the article Princess Maria Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg, and saw that you had it on your to-do list. The article still needs some work though, so I invite you to edit it all you want, as I know it is an area of interest to you (and I loved what you did with her husband Prince Wilhelm of Baden (1829–1897)). Thanks! Ruby2010 (talk) 01:18, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Well I certainly hope you come back to us soon! Wikipedia will be a sadder and much less interesting place without you. Good luck, Ruby2010 (talk) 16:35, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Please, urgent!

User:Agricolae is deleting or redirecting articles just because they have "too much" genealogy. As an inclusionist you should oppose what he has done to articles Rodulf II de Warenne and William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, saying without proof that things are conjectural (as if there weren't other uncertainties in the 11th century) and non-notable!!! (as if they weren't notable or people from the 16th century back weren't notable by themselves in wikipedia's chriteria). He has also removed one granddaughter on Francis Knollys (the elder) and Catherine Carey's articles saying that we don't have to link every article on wikipedia, something people wouldn't say about anything else (orphan articles), but he says because it's genealogy. Please, help me reverting these acts of vandalism he so arrogantly says not to be so. He is also planning to delete or redirect the page of John de Sutton V on the same grounds of being "too genealogical" and allegedly "non notable". The rapid editing of wikipedia and these particular cases demand that people like you, who even has a Royalty Barnstar, don't be away for so long as you are doing.
