[edit] AWB
Hi Eldredo, and welcome to Wikipedia! I've not approved you for AWB, because you don't have enough edits yet. I encourage you to keep editing Wikipedia and reapply when you have passed the threshold. Also, about correcting "an" and "a", be sure you have read A and an#Discrimination between a and an before changing anything. Keep in mind that changing British English to American English or vice versa is against policy. —METS501 (talk) 22:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Charlemagne
Because you made your edit in three parts, I reverted it without seeing that it was finished (b/c I saw it as incomplete). I am going to leave it as is, but you can revert it if you like. You should have made that edit all at once! Srnec 20:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your recent edits
Please refrain from repeatedly undoing other people's edits, as you are doing in [[:, as you are doing in [[:{{{1}}}]]]]. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The three-revert rule (3RR) prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, please discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Dppowell 21:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Louis VI and the working class
Hello. First, though my revert of your initial spelling changes was accidental, my reverts of your nickname changes was intentional: as you can see at Talk:Pippin the Younger, there is ambiguity with that name. I have requested an article move. Feel free to voice your opinion there.
Also, I noticed you removed an "anachronistic" reference to the "working class" in the Louis VI article. Your absolutely right that the terminology is anachronistic and thus out of place, but I wonder if there is not a meaning behind the original editors words which we shouldn't simply excise from the article. Perhaps peasantry was meant? Anyways, not a big deal. I actually wanted to just point out that the concept of three social "classes" (for lack of a better word) did exist in Louis's time: the oratores (pray-ers), pugnatores (fighters), and laboratores (workers). Therefore, the term "working class" is not really anachronistic, but the concept which the term nowadays denotes cannot be applied to the twelfth century. Srnec 05:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your message on my talk page
I was patrolling recent changes; you appeared to be repeatedly adding content that was being removed by another editor. I issued an applicable warning. If I see it again, I will do it again. If you consider that "interference," that's your problem. Cheers! Dppowell 15:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] French monarchs
There had been a recent edit war between me (and a few other editors) and User:Michaelsanders. As you have shown interest in improving the articles on the French monarchs, I would urge you to review some of the reverts that have been ongoing at various articles on the Capetian/Valois kings. You can also see the dispute at French monarchs and some other talk pages. If you wish to stay out of it, that's fine, but I wish to see this edit war ended. Srnec 20:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

"In the regnum [Kingdom of Germany], in Aachen, the electors chose the German King without asking leave of the Pope. In the imperium [territorial Holy Roman Empire], too, the King of the Romans reigned independently of the Pope." Michael Sanders 19:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Emperor-Elect
I have read your comments about the emperor-elects. I am afraid that I must disagree with you. I have copied my explanation that is also on the discussion page of the Holy Roman Emperor article:
- I think that the references to emperor elect should stay and that the pages of all emperors-elect should say Holy Roman Emperor elect because, as far as I know, the emperors-elect did not recieve all of the benefits of being crowned (such as being ordained subdeacons). I was always under the impression that the title emperor-elect was created just so Maximillian could use a higher title (emperor is higher than king). Therefore, if the emperors-elect did not recieve the full benefits that came with the coronation, then there is a differnce between crowned and uncrowned emperors, there for the emperor-elect references should stay.

[edit] WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5
|
Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007 |
|
Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

[edit] Monarchs in general
Hello Eldredo. I must honestly say, I've never heard of the term Holy Roman Emperor-elect, nor have I heard of Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angouleme and Henri, comte de Chambord having reigned as Kings of France. Anyways, I too disagree with the 'elect' thing. GoodDay (talk) 18:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
