Why can't you accept that ?
I leave you alone too.  --AndreaMimi (talk) 18:07, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not personal, and you should assume good faith. I frequently look on British royalty articles, and came across these edits that way. Date links are no longer used, see MOS:SYL, and are being removed across Wikipedia. I also suggest you read WP:OWN, as your comments above "never destroy my work" suggests you think you own this page or part of it - you don't.--UpDown (talk) 07:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Discussion is not necessary. The MOS is quite clear, and these were removed by another editor. Please also not I stopped reverting - to avoid an edit war - and reported the user.--UpDown (talk) 12:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You should only link dates when there is a good reason. For instance, if you are editing an article which mentions a revolutionary event in 1848, that would be a good reason to link that year because that was a year of revolutions that are mentioned on the year's page. Wikilinks always make a page a bit harder to read, and if there are a lot of linked dates, it can look very messy. The fact that many other articles don't follow guidelines is not a good reason for you to link dates. Doug Weller (talk) 13:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Her date of death is given as 9 June a couple of times, but then it says she "died aged 77 at Schomberg House on 19 June 1923" just before the contents. Which is correct? Anthrcer (click to talk to me) 18:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

message: In the article, it says "As well as that of Ranger of Windsor Park, Christian was given the honorary position of High Steward of Windsor, and was made a Royal Commissioner for the Great Exhibition of 1851."
I am not familiar with his life, but was he really a Royal Commissioner in 1851, when he was only 20 years old, long before his marriage into the Royal family? Or could the year be wrong?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.27.242.131 (talk) 15:52, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 is a charity. It still exists and there are still Royal Commissioners today . Christian was appointed to the Commission after 1851. DrKiernan (talk) 07:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
