25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Welcome to Wikipedia ↗. We appreciate your contributions ↗, but in one of your recent edits to :Toronto FC ↗, it appears that you have added original research ↗, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say ↗. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source ↗ for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources ↗. Thank you.

Sanskrit/Prakrit

I have reverted your edits on Sylheti language ↗, Bengali language ↗ and Assamese language ↗. Please note that these languages did not come from Sanskrit but Prakrit, though their standard forms have Sanskrit influences. Chaipau (talk) 14:49, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
: Please do not revert these, as you have done. You have cited no reference to show that the Middle-Indo-Aryan (Prakrits etc.) are derived from Vedic Sanskrit. Also, please look at Oberlies (2003)
:{{talkquote|MIA languages are not younger than (‘Classical’) Sanskrit. And a number of their morpho-phonological and lexical features betray the fact that they are not direct continuations of Rgvedic Sanskrit, the main base of ‘Classical’ Sanskrit; rather they descend from dialects which, despite many similarities, were different from and in some regards even more archaic.}}.

Lists of monarchs

I undid your changes at three "Lists of <CountryName> monarchs" articles, because they were not an improvement, they added unhelpful material into table cells about European monarchs through history, resulting in making the whole table longer, without any benefit to the reader, and because they were unsourced. If you disagree, please open a discussion at the Talk page of one of the articles. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 08:08, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

The edit summary field

25px|alt=Information icon|link= ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗.

{{The edit-summary field|new=y}}

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief ↗.

'''Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.''' With a Wikipedia account ↗ you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting {{myprefs|3|check=Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary}}, and then click the "Save" button.
Thanks!{{sp}} Mathglot (talk) 08:11, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Unsourced edits

I've removed your unsourced edits at List of predecessors of sovereign states in Asia ↗ and List of predecessors of sovereign states in Europe ↗. In the latter case, you added 3 kb of unsourced content in {{lne|List of predecessors of sovereign states in Europe|7|202209120306}}, none of which included a citation ↗ to a reliable source ↗. Please have another look at Wikipedia's Verifiability policy ↗, and please add citations as you add new content to articles. Beyond that, none of them contained an edit summary ↗; please see the previous section ↗.

In a much more minor issue, in these ↗‎ three ↗ edits ↗ you introduced disambiguation links ↗ into the article, where you probably didn't intend to. Please see WP:Disambiguation ↗. More serious, is the sourcing issue, and it's important that you understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗ about verifiability ↗, and adhere to them. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me at my Talk page, or feel free to ask questions at the Help desk ↗. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:16, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
: I just reverted three more edits of yours at List of predecessors of sovereign states in Europe ↗, so you just carried right on making edits after that? Are you reading these messages on your Talk page? The problem at that article was more serious than I thought, and I have rolled it back to the last good edit of 28 July, reversing several dozen of your edits, with 15kb of unsourced content. '''Please do not add any more unsourced content to this article''', or to any other article at Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability ↗ policy, and follow its recommendations on the use of citations ↗. See Help:Footnotes ↗ for more details. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 07:55, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Undiscussed page move undone

Your move ↗ of Royal families of the United Arab Emirates ↗ has been undone by another editor, restoring it to its original title. Please do not perform any other page moves (other than fixing misspellings or obvious title errors) without discussing the move first on the talk page of the article. See WP:RM#CM ↗ about how to nominate a single article for a new name, and follow the procedure there. (In this case, your proposed new name was almost guaranteed to fail in a move discussion for reasons of WP:COMMONNAME ↗, as there are only two occurrences of it to be found on the internet (in non-wiki sources) compared to around 14,000 of the current name.) If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my Talk page, or you can ask any question about editing Wikipedia at the WP:Help desk ↗. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 08:26, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

List of Polish monarchs ↗

Please self-revert. The list is based on scholary consensus. Russian tsars aren't included in such lists in scientific literature. Marcelus (talk) 21:22, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Formation date of England

Your recent edits to the List of sovereign states by date of formation ↗ caught mt eye. I'm USian, and my knowledge of English history is scant, but your edits look like original research to me, and see WP:NOR ↗.

I took a look at {{section link|England|Middle Ages}} and at the England in the Middle Ages ↗ article, looking for confirming content and supporting cites, and found neither. It seems to me that those recent edits ought to be removed for now and possibly reintroduced, citing support, into one or both of those other articles before being mentioned in Summary Style ↗ in the article where you've been inserting them. Please respond, either here or on the article talk page. Wtmitchell (talk) <small>(earlier ''Boracay Bill'')</small> 22:31, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

:I was tired when I was editing and ended up writing wrong information when I was done. Thanks to you I went to check what was written wrong and... I noticed that I wrote that Wessex conquered the other kingdoms with wars, when in fact the English kings had sworn an oath of loyalty to the first English king of a unified England. I would have checked later. HealthKnight1993 (talk) 23:11, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
::You seem to have added that info to the article (like your other edits, without an explanatory edit summary ↗) in this edit ↗ I still feel that most of this info ought to bi in appropriate detail articles, per the WP:SS ↗ guideline, and ought to cite supporting sources (per WP:V ↗) there. Without consensus to the contrary on the article talk page, I'll probably revert your edits as WP:OR ↗ after announcing intention to do so there. Wtmitchell (talk) <small>(earlier ''Boracay Bill'')</small> 23:49, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

"Turkey" vs. "Türkiye"

Hi! I saw you used the name "Türkiye" as the name of the country generally known in English as "Turkey" in your recent edit.

'''Q:''' Why don't you use the name ''Türkiye'', the correct name for this country?

'''A:''' Because the English-language Wikipedia has a WP:COMMONNAME ↗ policy. We use names for countries and places that are the names commonly used for them ''in English'', regardless of what official organizations use. Technically, this kind of name is known as an exonym ↗. For example, we use the name ''Germany ↗'', instead of the native endonym ↗ ''Deutschland ↗''.

If or when that general English-language usage changes (as has happened in the past with place names such as Mumbai ↗ and Beijing ↗), the same WP:COMMONNAME ↗ policy implies that the English-language Wikipedia will necessarily also follow suit. So far, that hasn't happened.

This has been discussed many times, with the same result every time because of the common name policy. If you'd like to discuss this further, please take it up at Talk:Turkey ↗. However, for the reasons given above, there is currently a moratorium on further requests for name changes to the Turkey ↗ article until 1 December 2023. — The Anome (talk) 13:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

"The Spanish Renunciation"

Hi,

In an edit ↗ you made in July to "List of French monarchs ↗", you added the phrase "because of the Spanish renunciation", with a link to "Philip V of Spain ↗". I was about to delete the same phrase from the article on Louis Philippe I ↗ (added here ↗ in 2022), but I did a bit of searching first to see whether I could make sense of it, and found your edit. Could you explain what it means? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 21:59, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

:It means that the descendants of Philip V of Spain renounced the right to one day assume the throne of France in the Peace of Utrecht HealthKnight1993 (talk) 22:53, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

::Ah, I see. So to put it another way, Louis Philippe succeeded Charles X after the July Revolution because Philip V's descendants were ineligible as a result of the Peace of Utrecht. The way the sentence is constructed made me think that Charles X was forced to abdicate ''because'' of the July Revolution and the Peace of Utrecht, which made no sense. Thank you.

::I'm having to waste a lot of time reverting your spurious addition of "surnames" to various royal articles. It's completely unsourced and disruptive.

::::::Maria Theresa, as an example, was a member of the House of Habsburg ↗. If she had a surname it would be von Habsburg if anything. Her modern descendants, who live in Republics, have adopted that (or a version of it) as a surname. "Of Austria" is a territorial designation i.e. signifying she was of the ruling house that came from there. No one has ever called it a surname. Most royal families are treated, traditionally, as not having a surname. It's a convention. But there's debate over that on a case by case basis. It's a complicated topic.

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the Balkans or Eastern Europe''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}} Bogazicili (talk) 18:42, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Self closing tags

Hello, hope you are having a nice weekend. If you don't mind, would you please stop reintroducing invalid HTML of selfclosing small tags ↗ to List of sovereign states by date of formation ↗ as you did here ↗? Only a few types of HTML tags end with "/" and small is not one. Thank you! Zinnober9 (talk) 21:38, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

:Yes, I'll do that. Sorry for any inconvenience. HealthKnight1993 (talk) 21:55, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Edits on list of sovereign states by date of formation

Hello, you have done a lot of work on the list of sovereign states by date of formation, though some would say that there should be a discussion before introducing so many radical changes. In any case, I would like to make one point regarding Bulgaria - if the acquisition of sovereignty of Turkey is 1299 (the foundation of the Ottoman Empire) or of France is 843 (West Francia), then for Bulgaria it should be 681, as it was recognized by treaty under the name "Bulgaria". As the Turkish republic considers itself a successor of the Ottoman Empire, the current Bulgarian republic considers itself a successor of the previous Bulgarian Empire. Best regards, --Gligan (talk) 13:43, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

:Hello friend, I took into consideration more the continuous existence of states as sovereign entities, and also when International Law would consider when the current state emerged... many states have become extinct throughout history. And in reality, I was just following ideas from other users who had said in the Talk section that it would be best for the page to focus more on modern states and not on predecessor states that became extinct throughout history. Look... I'm Brazilian, from a country that emerged in the 19th century after decolonization, maybe there was a bit of a culture shock (I'm not a European used to seeing Roman ruins or medieval castles... I'm someone from a former colony). I was thinking of changing the article title to List of modern sovereign states by state formation (one of the suggestions in the talk section). I simply used the same criteria that are used for former colonies in Africa and America for European countries; for example, the date of creation of Mexico and Peru is when they became independent from Spain, not the date of creation of the Aztec Empire or the Inca Empire. The reasoning is the same. HealthKnight1993 (talk) 19:46, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

::Hello, thank you for the response. The difference in reasoning between the Mexico/Peru and Bulgaria is that the modern countries have little to do with the Aztec/Incan Empires other than sharing (partially) the same territory - they speak Spanish, the population, religion, statehood, culture, everything is defined mostly as a consequence of the the Spanish rule, not the previous indigenous states that existed before. Bulgaria, on the other hand, has the same name, language, religion, culture, statehood, etc. The modern concept of nation-state and national (not personal) sovereignty does come from 18th-19th century, but in that case Turkey, Russia or France should also have a later date of acquisition of sovereignty. All three of these particular countries have as much to do with the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of France or the Tsardom of Russia, as Bulgaria has with the Bulgarian Empire.
