Joan of Arc

Hi, could you provide a citation for your addition to Joan of Arc? Durova 04:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi -- I guess I can't, not right now. Until I find the book, I'll remove the section (if it hasn't been removed already.) Thanks! --Idols of Mud 13:34, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Rocky's departure

Still in an edit war over this, if you haven't looked recently. You are completely correct, and the PBS doc is a very good source. Tvoz 21:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks -- I made many of the same points you did here, but didn't get a response. Oh well. Another admin's involved now, at least.--Idols of Mud 22:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Braveheart edits

I didn't get a chance to do so at the time, but you were quick to provide a citable source for the comment in question, and I wanted to say that I appreciated your professionalism. Thanks. :)
Unfortunately, I think you missed the second part of the edit summary instruction, which was to note a citation that spoke to both Primae noctis to the film Braveheart. Finding a historical definition and reference to the practice of p.n. without connection to Braveheart forces you to make that connection in the article, and that act of connection is called synthesis. Synthesis isn't allowed in Wikipedia. I have to revert your contribution for now, but if you find a source that speaks to both Braveheart the film and the practice of p.n., please feel free to include it. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 20:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, etc. We once collaborated on a mystery here, it always stood out as one of the more memorable interactions I have had around here. :-) So, in the spirit of the holidays I just thought I would drop you line. --IvoShandor (talk) 15:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Memorable for me as well; thanks for the kind thoughts. And happy holidays.--Idols of Mud (talk) 19:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Phil Ochs

Thanks for the kind words. I've been a fan of Phil's music for more than 30 years, so it's a pleasure writing about his songs. I'm glad people enjoy reading about them. :-) — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 02:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Romulus Augustus

Hy there, I don't know if you are willing to go through with an "official move request". By the way the original title of the article was "Romulus Augustus" and NOT "Romulus Augustulus". Pmanderson seems intent in making a couple of sloppy mistakes. As far as I have been able to gather both names are equally popular and between an ancient nickname and the original official name/title I honestly would choose the second. Either way the issue is probably going to be debated in the next couple of days. Flamarande (talk) 00:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I've already encountered a lot of issues in just the lede, as described here. I'm going to plow through the rest but I'm concerned that the citations aren't lining up as they should. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:53, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
