[edit] Redirects for deletion

See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion. A number of redirects you created are being considered for deletion. Personally I have to agree, as titles like "The 10th" can refer to many things other than one specific person. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 18:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

Hi there; the correct format is #REDIRECT article. Capitalisation and spacing is critical.--Anthony.bradbury 13:19, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James VI

Well done!

[edit] English people

The English people article simply claims that they can trace their heritage back to the ancient Britons, I don't understand why this is at all contentious. There is no doubt that English people are descended from ancient Britons, there's plenty of research to back this up. It is also true that many archaeologists claim to see continuity in the record throughout the period, indicating an indigenous influence on Anglo-Saxon culture. Nowhere in the article does it claim that Angles spoke Welsh. I fail to understand why it is not obvious that English peple are the product of the fusing of two cultures, that of the indigenous Brythonic peoples and that of the incoming Germanic peoples. I think I can find a reference to support this claim in Britain AD by Francis Pryor. Please don't make this sort of very big change to an article before getting consensus on the talk page. All the best. Alun 05:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anne, 3rd Duchess of Hamilton

Sounds good! Happy editing. :) --Fang Aili ^talk 22:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] French Garde du Corps

There's some bits and bobs from Susane's History of the French Cavalry in the Maison du Roi piece, but I think you already have more in Garde du Corps (France). The book I got my info from is L.A.V.V. Susane, Histoire de la cavalerie française; the Gardes du Corps are in volume one mainly, but it doesn't have much information beyond when and how they were created, uniforms, mottos and commanders. I don't know if you've tried Gallica: the subject catalogue doesn't have anything under "Gardes du Corps" or "Garde et maison militaire du roi", but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything. If you're looking for particular people, it might be helpful. There are no end of C19th periodicals on there. Apparently there's an ancient book by one Francisque Michel, Les Ecossais en France et les Francais en Ecosse (2 vols, 1862), which gets quoted quite often. Contamine's piece on Bernard Stewart, Lord of Aubigny quotes an article he wrote in Grant Simpson (ed.) The Scottish Soldier Abroad, 1247–1967 (Edinburgh, 1992), which should at least be easier to find than some antique from 1862. Probably not really helpful. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

[edit] Policy

I suggest you read the wiki Manual of style with regard to not including knighthoods for peers. Wiki articles should follow wiki style or policy guidelines so I will have to revert changes that go against them.

As to the Dukedom you're mistaken about the the remainder. Even assuming N could under peerage law confirm someone who is not the heir under the remainder to the title (which he couldn't in strict law) it would still not be held by the present duke. The clear claimant to the title is the present Earl of Derby as heir general under the terms of the original creation. Setting that aside to play fiction and assume that N restored the original title it would, under the original remainder, have descended to the daughter of the 12th Duke and her heirs male then female. It would not have jumped back all the way to the decendants of the 4th Duke this is french peerage law not scottish it was not to heirs male whatsoever. Most authorities maintain that Ns actions were a new creation which would under the law of the time be heirs male again in its french meaning not Scottish and so have become extinct with his death.Alci12 22:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scottish national identity

I've opened a Request for Comment on Scottish national identity. As an editor with previous involvement in this article, you may wish to add a statement or comment. Best wishes, --YFB ¿ 18:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scottish Cuisine

Hi, I'd appreciate your input on the Scottish cuisine talk page, further to our wee exchange earlier. I think there's room for compromise on this article. It is far from my intention to talk down about Scottish food and I recognise that my choice of words ("hearty") didn't adequately describe the real situation. I've suggested a way forward on the talk page of the article - let me know what you think! Thanks, Nach0king 13:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
