Hi. There has been an argument over the article on Max Mosley, son of the 6th Baronet Mosley, over something so simple as whether if we should include the name of his parents in law, or father in law, and information on his own children.

Hi Moonraker2,
I don't want to re-edit your recent edit on Arthur August Tilley but would like to ask you to consider the following information and then amend your latest revision:
Sir John Tilley married Cecilia Frances Trollope on 4th February 1939, Bryanstone Square Marylebone (I have a copy of the entry of marriage). They had 4 children which I have been able to verify to this point: Frances Trollope Tilley b. 1840 (d. believed around 1850 but not verified). Cecilia Isabel Tilley b. 1840 d. 1850. Anna Jane Tilley b. Sep 1842 d. 1850. Arthur William Tilley b. 1845 d. 1850. Edith Diane Mary Tilley b. 1846 d. 1925. Cecilia Frances died 1849.
Sir John then married Mary Ann Partington in 1850. They had Arthur Augustus Tilley.
Sir John then married Susannah Anderson Mongomerie in 1861 and had William George Tilley b. 1863 (no further details known) and John Tilley (John Anthony Cecil Tilly) b. 1869 d. 1952.
I hope you don't mind me asking you to correct it, but just going back on and correcting what you have written seems kind of churlish and I wanted to explain to you why I believe your information is not correct. If you need me to send you copies of birth certificates, baptism registrations etc. let me know.
Best wishes JCTilley ( talk) 21:44, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Moonraker2. This is kind of scary because of the citations and verifiability. I can verify some of the details on John Anthony Cecil Tilley page through documents I hold (passport for example) but these are obviously not in the public domain. My understanding is, that I can not use this to verify what I have written. Am I correct?
I'm plodding through creating a page for Sir John Tilley Secretary of the General Post Office as no-one has written about him yet and having been married to Cecilia Trollope and having a distinguished career in the post office and being a close friend of Anthony Trollope I think the links are very interesting. I'm just very slow with getting the citations right. I'm sure I will have some more questions if that is OK with you. JCTilley ( talk) 22:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I've reverted your edit on the above. I don't know whether you saw it, but I've explained in talk why I had changed it. Basically it doesn't comply with the WP:MOS which says the article should open with the bolded title of the article. But also to assert without secondary sources (i.e. WP:Reliable sources) that "Great Britain" is correct and "Kingdom of Great Britain" is "less correct" is original research based on an interpretation of a primary source, the Acts of Union. I happen to think that interpretation is wrong. But that is irrelevant, it's still original research unless you can get secondary sources to support what you say. I can go into why I think your interpretation is wrong if you would like, but, as I say, that is irrelevant in the absence of secondary sources. DeCausa ( talk) 08:36, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Moonraker. I have reverted your move of the above article for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the German term (much like Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe) are used extensively in English-language sources. I have read extensively on the German navy in the Imperial era, and rarely see the term translated (unlike Hochseeflotte and I Geschwader, etc., which usually are translated). Secondly, moves that are likely to be contentious should always be discussed first, even if it's just on the talk page (as opposed to through a formal requested move, for instance). If you would like to discuss the article title, I will be happy to do so with you, either here or on the article talk page. Regards, Parsecboy ( talk) 00:35, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Moonraker. I noticed you just renamed an article qualifier from "MP" to "politician" claiming naming convention. What is this naming convention and what is its rationale? MP is the most familiar term used for these people in the UK and has a long history of use. Since the 13th century many MPs have been landowners lawyers etc who just happened to get elected to parliament - not career politicians as that term implies. And MP means specifically a representative at the England|Britain|UK national level and distinguishes well from the USA which does not have MPs. References always invariably refer to these people as MPs. Furthermore it is tiresome and more error prone to have to type ten letters instead of two. Now funnily enough these are exactly the objections I have raised in the debates about renaming categories relating to English schools! The difference is that I can and do choose not to use categories - especially those starting "People...", whereas it is not so easy to avoid lengthy and inappropriate article names. As a matter of inconsistency I note that MP categories are labelled precisely that - ie "Category:UK MPs 1885-1886". If that lot get wind of this we will end up with "Category:Politicians of the United Kingdom parliament from 1885 to 1886" subsequently revised to "Category:Lawmakers in the parliament of the United Kingdom from 1885 to 1886".

Hello Moonraker. I noticed a recent editorial change to the admission age requirements given at the University of Oxford article. I tried to check the source via the citation provided, but unfortunately the citation's incomplete. I've taken your original figure as correct, and have reverted but as you seem to have added the whole of the relevant section (per this diff), I thought it best to bring the matter to your attention. Best, Haploidavey ( talk) 21:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Moonraker, I see that you created this article last year. As someone else has already noted on the talkpage, the 1947 birthdate of the subject seems to be wrong, for that would make him only 12 years old when he was gazetted as a 2nd lieutenant in 1959. The sources listed in the article don't appear to give a birthdate for him at all, and a quick Google search doesn't turn up anything for me. Would you please review this and correct it? Thanks.

Have you got any other secondary sources discussing the impacts of the constitutional amendment?
Also, since you were the other participant in that discussion, you should be made aware of this page. Nightw 09:13, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
I notice you've been making some changes in the Raj-related pages in which you're replacing "British Raj" with "Presidencies and provinces of British India." For better or worse, the wikipedia page for "India under British Rule (1858–1947)" is "British Raj." It is the name of the country as well as the rule. As you know, it is not the same thing as British India, which was only one part of the Raj. I have corrected most of the changes (related to this nomenclature); your other edits were fine and I've left them alone. Please bear this in mind during future edits. Thanks.

Hi, Moonraker, thanks for tidying up the name of the article on George Mellish that I started. I gather that titles like "Sir" are not included in the name of the article, but can be in the opening sentence of the lead paragraph? could you point me to an info page on the naming conventions you mention? would be helpful if I create any more articles.

If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 19:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Moonraker2,
I don't want to re-edit your recent edit on Arthur August Tilley but would like to ask you to consider the following information and then amend your latest revision:
Sir John Tilley married Cecilia Frances Trollope on 4th February 1939, Bryanstone Square Marylebone (I have a copy of the entry of marriage). They had 4 children which I have been able to verify to this point: Frances Trollope Tilley b. 1840 (d. believed around 1850 but not verified). Cecilia Isabel Tilley b. 1840 d. 1850. Anna Jane Tilley b. Sep 1842 d. 1850. Arthur William Tilley b. 1845 d. 1850. Edith Diane Mary Tilley b. 1846 d. 1925. Cecilia Frances died 1849.
Sir John then married Mary Ann Partington in 1850. They had Arthur Augustus Tilley.
Sir John then married Susannah Anderson Mongomerie in 1861 and had William George Tilley b. 1863 (no further details known) and John Tilley (John Anthony Cecil Tilly) b. 1869 d. 1952.
I hope you don't mind me asking you to correct it, but just going back on and correcting what you have written seems kind of churlish and I wanted to explain to you why I believe your information is not correct. If you need me to send you copies of birth certificates, baptism registrations etc. let me know.
Best wishes JCTilley ( talk) 21:44, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Moonraker2. This is kind of scary because of the citations and verifiability. I can verify some of the details on John Anthony Cecil Tilley page through documents I hold (passport for example) but these are obviously not in the public domain. My understanding is, that I can not use this to verify what I have written. Am I correct?
I'm plodding through creating a page for Sir John Tilley Secretary of the General Post Office as no-one has written about him yet and having been married to Cecilia Trollope and having a distinguished career in the post office and being a close friend of Anthony Trollope I think the links are very interesting. I'm just very slow with getting the citations right. I'm sure I will have some more questions if that is OK with you. JCTilley ( talk) 22:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I've reverted your edit on the above. I don't know whether you saw it, but I've explained in talk why I had changed it. Basically it doesn't comply with the WP:MOS which says the article should open with the bolded title of the article. But also to assert without secondary sources (i.e. WP:Reliable sources) that "Great Britain" is correct and "Kingdom of Great Britain" is "less correct" is original research based on an interpretation of a primary source, the Acts of Union. I happen to think that interpretation is wrong. But that is irrelevant, it's still original research unless you can get secondary sources to support what you say. I can go into why I think your interpretation is wrong if you would like, but, as I say, that is irrelevant in the absence of secondary sources. DeCausa ( talk) 08:36, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Moonraker. I have reverted your move of the above article for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the German term (much like Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe) are used extensively in English-language sources. I have read extensively on the German navy in the Imperial era, and rarely see the term translated (unlike Hochseeflotte and I Geschwader, etc., which usually are translated). Secondly, moves that are likely to be contentious should always be discussed first, even if it's just on the talk page (as opposed to through a formal requested move, for instance). If you would like to discuss the article title, I will be happy to do so with you, either here or on the article talk page. Regards, Parsecboy ( talk) 00:35, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Moonraker. I noticed you just renamed an article qualifier from "MP" to "politician" claiming naming convention. What is this naming convention and what is its rationale? MP is the most familiar term used for these people in the UK and has a long history of use. Since the 13th century many MPs have been landowners lawyers etc who just happened to get elected to parliament - not career politicians as that term implies. And MP means specifically a representative at the England|Britain|UK national level and distinguishes well from the USA which does not have MPs. References always invariably refer to these people as MPs. Furthermore it is tiresome and more error prone to have to type ten letters instead of two. Now funnily enough these are exactly the objections I have raised in the debates about renaming categories relating to English schools! The difference is that I can and do choose not to use categories - especially those starting "People...", whereas it is not so easy to avoid lengthy and inappropriate article names. As a matter of inconsistency I note that MP categories are labelled precisely that - ie "Category:UK MPs 1885-1886". If that lot get wind of this we will end up with "Category:Politicians of the United Kingdom parliament from 1885 to 1886" subsequently revised to "Category:Lawmakers in the parliament of the United Kingdom from 1885 to 1886".

There was nothing there when I created the page as the page had been deleted already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Somethingunique ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the note - membership of the OCS is virtually universal as the membership fee is included in the termly fee notes - so whilst theoretically someone could elect not to join, it is a lot of hassle - why do you think that many past and present members are not members of OCS? As an OC myself this is not my experience! That being said I have no particularly strong views on how its done aas long as the information is preserved. Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere!

Thank you for your comment. I have come across many articles on Wikipedia, and not just the English one, that are peppered with foreign words in a parenthetical mess. It is my opinion that this disrupts reading flow when done excessively in the body text and should be avoided when the Wiki's own language has sufficient equivalents. I take it you agree.

Thank you for improving Markus Flaig greatly! The flowery words of the reviewer probably can't be translated well, in "Eine in lichter Höhe verankerte, ins Schwarze reichende Tiefe zeichnete den Bassisten Markus Flaig aus", "reichend" (reaching) is not quite deep enough saying "touching upon", I don't know if "altitude" is what you say for a voice (I kind of hear "above sea level"), and "leichte Höhe" should ideally sound easier than bright ("strahlend"), with the ease of His yoke is easy, and His burthen is light, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:36, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello Moonraker. I noticed a recent editorial change to the admission age requirements given at the University of Oxford article. I tried to check the source via the citation provided, but unfortunately the citation's incomplete. I've taken your original figure as correct, and have reverted but as you seem to have added the whole of the relevant section (per this diff), I thought it best to bring the matter to your attention. Best, Haploidavey ( talk) 21:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Moonraker, I see that you created this article last year. As someone else has already noted on the talkpage, the 1947 birthdate of the subject seems to be wrong, for that would make him only 12 years old when he was gazetted as a 2nd lieutenant in 1959. The sources listed in the article don't appear to give a birthdate for him at all, and a quick Google search doesn't turn up anything for me. Would you please review this and correct it? Thanks.

I notice you've been making some changes in the Raj-related pages in which you're replacing "British Raj" with "Presidencies and provinces of British India." For better or worse, the wikipedia page for "India under British Rule (1858–1947)" is "British Raj." It is the name of the country as well as the rule. As you know, it is not the same thing as British India, which was only one part of the Raj. I have corrected most of the changes (related to this nomenclature); your other edits were fine and I've left them alone. Please bear this in mind during future edits. Thanks.

Hi, Moonraker, thanks for tidying up the name of the article on George Mellish that I started. I gather that titles like "Sir" are not included in the name of the article, but can be in the opening sentence of the lead paragraph? could you point me to an info page on the naming conventions you mention? would be helpful if I create any more articles.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Charsley's Hall, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Charsley's Hall. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 19:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
