Your experience with Wikipedia so far

Hello WatermillockCommon,

I am conducting research about newcomers to Wikipedia and I was hoping to ask you some questions. I’ve noticed you’ve had some good activity recently. Is there any chance you have time in the next month to speak with me? If you are interested or have any questions, please email me at gmugar [at] syr.edu or leave a message on my talk page.

I hope to be in touch soon,

Hello again! Can I recommend that you add something to your user page. This could be a summary of your editing habits or you may be interested in adding some userboxes.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Gordon Banks

Watermillock, it is a fact that PM May's Husband and Matthew Gordon Banks were at school together for several years, though Phillip May is slightly older. Is it that much of a problem for you to not include this this his biography somewhere? These are the sort of details people like to read. His work in Parliament of Aviation and Shipping Safety for example does get a look in because an over addiction to references. Phillip May was a key factor in Gordon Banks rejoining the Tory Party even though he is no longer tribal and frequently critical of HMG. Charlbury4 (talk) 23:39, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charlbury4, thanks for your message. I am not disputing that this information is fact (I do not know), but all Wikipedia requires is some kind of accessible reference which can corroborate the fact. If we have a reference (an interview, article etc) then I think that the information probably best belongs in either the Early Life or the Personal Life sections - what do you think? It just seemed a wee bit out of place where it was before... WatermillockCommon (talk) 21:24, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Thanks for contributing to the article John Chetham McLeod. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 21:47, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Thomas Southwell, 1st Baronet

Dear WatermillockCommon. Thank you very much for creating the article Sir Thomas Southwell, 1st Baronet. I have tried to do some further work on it. You might want to have a look and do some checks. Please correct me wherever needed. I am still learning Wikipedia and am a foreigner whose English and understanding of Irish history might be wanting. Please, more specifically I wanted to ask your help about Sir Thomas's death date. Already in the article's first revision in 2015 you stated that he died on 7 December 1680. I wanted to add an inline citation but could not find a source for it. I hope you might still have an idea about where you got it from.

Gustavus Hamilton, 1st Viscount Boyne

Dear WatermillockCommon. We seem both to write biographies of Irish aristocrats in similar styles and encounter similar problems. Thanks for your recent intervention on the article "Gustavus Hamilton, 1st Viscount Boyne" where you bolded the first mention of "Baron Hamilton" and "Viscount Boyne" in the main text. I find this interesting because in the past I did the same thing, but then I was corrected by User:Peacemaker67 during the A-class review of Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty(see[1]. He told me "Unbold 2nd Viscount Muskerry", I was astonished and replied "Done. I was so convinced bold was prescribed for the first mention of article title terms in the body in the MOS (under MOS:BOLD under Article Title Terms?) but I can't find it any more" and he insisted "To my knowledge, bolding in the body has always been deprecated". So I am now confused. Would you please point out to me where this bolding is prescribed, with many thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 14:17, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Johannes Schade, thanks for your message. An interesting one. I had always assumed bolding was prescribed, but only because that it is how I found it in the many articles I used as templates when starting out. Unfortunately I do not have any evidence (beyond weight of usage) to back it up; I'm not an experienced reviewer. I have mainly used bolding when referring to the creation of a new title (such as Edmund Pery, 1st Earl of Limerick), rather than when referencing inheritance. I know that bolding is still widely used, including in articles for new life peers (see Alistair Cooke, Baron Lexden, Bernard Ribeiro, Baron Ribeiro, Paul Strasburger, Baron Strasburger among many others). In my opinion, it's useful and should be followed, particularly when an individual may have been known by several titles over his or her lifetime, but I am sorry to have caused confusion! WatermillockCommon (talk) 15:53, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dear WatermillockCommon. Thank you very much for your kind reply and especially the examples that you cited. I used one of these examples, Bernard Ribeiro, Baron Ribeiro, to open a discussion with the Wikipedian Atchom, who added the bolded "1st Baron Ribeiro", in that article at a position after the lead. Upon that User:Peacemaker67 wrote a reply on Atchom's talk page, which you might have seen. He cites the rule in MOS:BOLD and carefully discusses some possible exceptions. I find the conclusion is unescapable: all the cases of bolding after the lead that we mentioned here are not MOS-conform and should be unbolded, even if I would agree with you that this bolding is often useful as the biographical subject changes name at this place. I have removed the bolding from "your" article Sir Thomas Southwell, 1st Baronet discussed higher up on this talk page. What do you think? With thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 20:52, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
