Question regarding old edits
[edit]A few years ago, youaddedthe 1919 Rebellions to theList of wars involving Luxembourg article.Recently, these edits have been removed as people say they were not a war. I saw you have made a decent amount of edits regarding Luxembourg, and I wanted to ask your opinion. I know this was many years ago, but I noticed you made a few edits to Luxembourg-related content, so if you are interested, there are ongoing discussions about theLuxembourg Rebellionsarticles.LuxembourgLover(talk)00:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Your input is valuable
[edit]I really appreciate your input regarding the modern period discussions. It's been very helpful! I understand if you feel disheartened at having to defend the same point over and over again. I feel the situation with historical periodization is very much a matter ofRandies from Boisiewanting to place themselves at the same level as academic historians. I doubt they would ever do with the natural sciences, that is "real" science.
I'm really going to do what I can to try to improve our historical coverage and periodization beyond the mere listing of historical events (as is the case athuman history). What's sorely missing from Wikipedia is obviously input from professional historians or at least people with a grasp of historiography. And the attitude of way too many history-writing Wikipedians is most likely discouraging a lot of academics from commenting. A very good example of this is the reaction tothis threadover atViking Age.
If you want to get back in the discussion, I think your input would be very valuable. But if you want to just share suggestions or thoughts regarding this and similar issues, don't hesitate to contact me throughthe email form.

- @Peter IsotaloThanks, I appreciate your message! You and I found a lot of agreement in our understanding of the topic and Wikipedia's coverage of it, and the RS as well as the policies and guidelines are on our side. But in order to enforce it, we would have to engage in conflict with the few non-expert Wikipedians who disagree, and at the moment I do not choose that battle. (It's quite frustrating that after conceding to move the discussion to another talk page, I still did not get any substantive response or concession from the other side). I'm sorry to abandon you, but at this point we have too few others who agree with us to easily settle the issue. I'm moving on for now, but perhaps I'll revisit the question in the future.

Category inquiry
[edit]Hello there. I was just wondering, I noticed back in October 17 2016, you put Coralie Colmez in the category British Skeptics. I thought she was French?Jack Riding(talk)08:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like you're right, she lives in the UK but holds French citizenship.NLeeuw(talk)09:07, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- She has lived in the UK and in America, but she’s back in France now. On her Wikipedia page, her nationality only says French. I’ve removed her from the category of British Skeptics, and put her into the French Skeptics category.Jack Riding(talk)09:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just out of interest, did you put her in the category British Skeptics because she has lived in the United Kingdom?Jack Riding(talk)11:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Probably.NLeeuw(talk)11:50, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- In order for her to actually be British, she’d have to be naturalised. She’s French, through and through.Jack Riding(talk)11:59, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Whatever dude. Stop bothering me please. You only created an account 5 days ago and all you seem to care about is telling everyone she's French and not British. I got it. Have a nice day and enjoy your tea.NLeeuw(talk)12:02, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, didn’t mean to bother you. It’s just important that the information on Wikipedia pages is accurate. All the best.Jack Riding(talk)12:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I know, I've been doing it for 15+ years, and you for 5 days. I already told you 3 hours ago you're probably right. Do you want a medal for correcting me, or will you see yourself out? I've got things to do.NLeeuw(talk)12:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
