replies: text: I believe Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen was the principal regent. The source I have at hand says that Agnes resigned as regent in 1062 (and took the veil), and that Henry came of age in 1068. After that he ruled as German king until he was crowned Emperor.

message: According to Saint Afra Chapel in Speyer Cathedral, Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor was born on Saint Afras Day, what is the 5. August (although according to some missals it is on 6 August or 7 August). Wikipedia says Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor died on 5. October, what means that something on the dates must be wrong. 
So lets take for sure that medieval people knew when the Saint Afras day was, cause if 1 of them wouldnt be born or dying on Saint Afras day they would have given that chapel in the imperial cathedral another name.
So, if anyone have some more holy spirit inside ;), please, examine that stuff a little further and correct the data  P.juka 13:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It's a regnal name which gets translated even for modern monarchs. His contemporary regnal name wasn't "Heinrich" either but "Heinricus" if you look at the documents.--MacX85 (talk) 22:04, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is not about Henry... 

message: "After the indecisive battles of Mellrichstadt (7 August 1077)[6] and Flarchheim (27 January 1080),[7]" is incorrect.  It was on 7 August 1078.  This is the date identified in the wikipage on the Battle of Mellrichstadt.  Also in the history of Thuringian Nobility (http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/THURINGIAN%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc425497092) as the date of death of Poppo at the battle.  This same date is recorded in the 1595 Edition of Ortelius Theatrum on the plate discussing The Principality of Henneberg.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hennebmw (talk • contribs) 01:43, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Corrected Date of Battle of Mellrichstadt 

message: Borsoka thought I'd ping you since you are responsible for getting this to FA, and so I thought I'd leave this decsision to you.
I was reverting a sockpuppet Perry Pat Etic Poleaxe of a sockmaster blocked for disruptive page moves and engvar changes that I noticed had edited this page diff. Normally I'd just revert here so they get the hint none of your edits are wanted and they won't stick so go away. But since you've been doing most of your excellent work in the current engvar it would be extremely rude of me to change it without discussion to say the least.
So I leave it in your hands if you want to revert or want me to revert it then go and do it, or just ask. On the other hand if you prefer the article in it's current state then go ahead and leave it as is. I have removed  because that is not an actual thing, and I'm thinking that limiting the number of transclusions will make the sockmaster more obvious when they reappear, but feel free to go ahead and place a template for whatever variety you feel comfortable with, thanks for making this an FA. 74.73.230.173 (talk) 22:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your message. Sorry, but I have almost no knowledge of differences between English variants, so I cannot decide which variant is used in the article now. I understand the consequent usage of one of the variants is the principal requirement. I assume the article meets this requirement. Borsoka (talk) 02:13, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Just a friendly note 

message: The infobox says his marriage to Eupraxia ended in divorce, but this is not attested elsewhere. Evidently they became estranged, but this is not the same as divorce. Considering the pope got involved in the estrangement, one would think any divorce would be explicitly mentioned; but as far as I know, there is no divorce in Catholic canon law, and canon law would not have permitted an annulment under such circumstances.

replies: text: Thank you for your edits and your message. I think the use of the term "divorce" is not wrong, because WP is not based on canon law and their marriage ended without doubt. However, we can adopt any term that is more appropriate according to your views. Borsoka (talk) 13:20, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Divorce 

message: Borsoka: The introduction needs a summary lead paragraph before the four-paragraph narrative biography. Most encyclopedia users want the overview of Henry's significance right away, not somewhere at the bottom of the intro. 
Also, the word "antiking" looks strange in English, it should be hyphenated for clarity (anti-king).
