Solstice or

Festivus or even the
Saturnalia, this is a special time of year for almost everyone!
Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{ subst: User:WereSpielChequers/Dec16a}} to your friends' talk pages.
You referred to the cited article as "vague and speculative". As in contrary to the other sections of the article? It's called "Possible causes". Could you point out the part in the paper that disqualifies it as a source in the Wikipedia article, in contrast to the other sources? https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ad24fb Hipporoo ( talk) 00:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you reverted changes I made to the article regarding Henry III of England. In your summary you stated that it was "too colloquial", and I had some thoughts on that. First, I'm wondering if you read through the entire list of changes? For example, there is one point in the article where the way the sheriffs treated the lower classes during the reign of Henry III is described as "robust" when I assume they meant "heavy-handed", using "robust" (strong and healthy; vigorous / able to withstand or overcome adverse conditions) there doesn't make sense, and I don't understand why this part would warrant being reverted.
Also, how is making an article more colloquial a bad thing? I understand that some things can be lost in translation or over-simplified but I don't believe the edits I made reach that level and this website is to provide knowledge to as many people as possible, right? This can't happen if the language used is too complex or scientific, especially if the terms used are too archaic - but, again, I don't believe my changes really touched on anything like this to begin with.
I would like you to describe more thoroughly what the issues with my changes were so we can discuss it properly.

Maybe you know something I don't, but I thought Bristol West was being replaced by Bristol Central (UK Parliament constituency) for the next election. Tammbeck talk 16:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you today for Nicholas of Worcester, introduced: "Nicholas was Prior of Worcester in the early twelfth century. He was the leading follower of Saint Wulfstan of Worcester and fought for the rights of monks in the church in a period when they were despised by the Norman bishops. He was a source of information for historians such as William of Malmesbury and Eadmer, who held him in great respect. He was of unknown but "exalted" descent, and may have been a son of King Harold Godwinson."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about Samuel Kummer, one of five items on the Main page - more musing on my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:57, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about the TFA, by sadly missed Vami_IV. You supported it in 2018, thank you! For more related thoughts and music, look on my talk for 1 June. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Does your interest in history extend to this? I am hoping you would be willing to give this, especially the Middle Ages sections, a look over with a view toward achieving FA quality. Please help if you can. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 19:17, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
