I don't want to curb your enthusiasm, as you showed with the
Richter magnitude scale we just try to keep the number of red links in the article to a minimum and external links really have to be relevant. I would encourage you, however, to have a go at creating a page for the
Oaxaca earthquake (Mexico), 1999. I f you need any help just leave me a note on my talk page.

The grammar error was Roger's. :-) I think Roger referred to your Nome de Plume. Wee Curry Monster talk 15:59, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've deleted your edit to Wars of the Roses, my reasoning is given here: Talk:Wars_of_the_Roses#Cousins.27_War. Essentially it seems to have been popularised by Phillipa Gregory, based on the writing of Alison Weir. I've never seen the war described like this anywhere else. Weir does not seem to provide any good sourcing for her assertion that "Cousins' War" was the contemporary term, and whether she is truly a Reliable Source has been questioned in the past. Weir apparently got the term from reading of other historians, but she doesn't specify which, so unless you can find the original, non-Weir source, or another good source providing support to contemporary use of the term, I don't think this can go in, sorry. -- Merlinme ( talk) 13:12, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
