message: This article is now such  a mess that  it could not  be left  in its current  state. I have reverted it to  the last  coherent  edit which  was here. I  will  be informing   have informed all the subsequent  editors and inviting invited  them  to  join  this discussion. Some of the issues after numerous edits and/or additions by various contributors were:
#It began to read like a research paper. See ORIGINAL RESEARCH
#Wikipedia articles do  not  discuss suppositions or posit  theories -  they  report facts that  are as accurate as possible. Suppositions must  be referenced and sourced to  published works that  have made such  suppositions. See RELIABLE SOURCES, VERIFIABILITY, and CITING SOURCES
#Other Wikipedia pages are not  reliable sources and  references (particularly  footnotes) should not  be made to  them, other than inline  links to  other related articles, or in  a 'see also' section at  the end of the article. See WIKILINKS
#HTML should not  be used. Wiki  markup  has its own way  of creating  indents and line breaks. See WP:LAYOUT
#Long  articles must  be broken into  sections with  relevant  headings. See TEXT,  SECTIONS,  and HEADINGS
#Material  must  not  be copied from  external sources. See COPYRIGHT VIOLATION
Please improve the article and restore any  missing  vital content  caused by  the revert, by  searching  for your additions in  the Article  History without  reintroducing  any  formatting  errors. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:48, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi Surtsicna,
You removed the earlier image of the site of the scaffold at Tower Hill where the 12th Earl was executed from the Infobox stating that the image should be of the subject. I asked about this at the Help Desk, and it appears there is no specific rule to that effect. I've replaced the earlier image in the Infobox with a different image which specifically names the 12th Earl as one of those executed on the site. NinaGreen (talk) 18:09, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Bedouin have inhabited this area for millennia (albeit using the area for seasonal grazing); they still do.

“It was better to look hardship in the face than to break down the rules of law - he saw that as clearly as Lord Eldon saw it.”

:I started the article "Voyageurs"  (from what was previously a redirect page) by copying the Voyageur section from the Coureur Des Bois article.   Voyageur is an extensively used term, with a different meaning than Coureur Des Bois.  It was discussed there that it should be a separate article.  I used the plural form for the title because the singular is the title of a disambig page. Eventually the Voyageur material should get reduced in or removed from the Coureur Des Bois article, but I'm not going there now.

This section is purveying a myth that has attained the status of fact. 
In fact, Maj Gen Grey ordered the force to advance with weapons unloaded or,  if necessary,  with flints removed. At least one battalion commander, Major Maitland of the 2nd Light Infantry battalion, remonstrated, saying that his men always advanced with loaded weapons and vouched for the fire discipline of his men, and Grey relented.

message: I know there is a movement to integrate the East German formula drivers within the German drivers category. Before we do that, I think it is important that we expand some of at least the most famous East German drivers. There is actually a lot of history behind the early East German drivers and the pioneering they did under the restrictions they were under the Government. Many of them built and raced their own cars, with funding and parts being more difficult to come by due to the fact there were no somewhat large private enterprises. With the amount of history that surrounds these drivers like Rudolf Krause, it could be argued that the category of East German Drivers could stay separate, as long it is actually given the love and attention needed to stand by itself. The information is there, it just needs writers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dseberha (talk • contribs) 20:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
