[edit]I've reverted the additions for the following reasons:
- "was a Norman who held lands in England after the Norman Conquest.[2] lord of 59 places." Per MOS:LEAD the lead does not require citations when the information is sourced in the body of the article - so we don't need a badly formatted link to Open Domesday to show that Hugh held land. The "lord of 59 places." is unsourced and not a full sentence, and even if it was, it would need to be capitalized.
- The list of descendants is mostly unsourced, repeats the children who are already listed with a source in the paragraph above and goes into too much detail about descendants. Per WP:NOTGENEALOGY we don't do this sort of multiple generation descendancy.
- Even if we did genealogical descendancy charts - "To Ida had six children and to Gunnora had one son." is ungrammatical and frankly hard to parse.
Please learn what wikipedia is for and don't waste others time dealing with this sort of unhelpful editing. Ealdgyth (talk) 13:28, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Beauchamp Pedigree in the Publications of the Bedfordshire Historical Record Society, Vol. 1 states the family tree of this family I was going to add this as a reference point for the deleted genealogy, additionally I hyperlinked to other entries in Wikipedia. for the deleted tree.

That is incorrect see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stammliste_der_Karolinger Stammliste der Karolinger
- Can you remember to sign AFTER your post and learn how to indent, please? And that page is for German wikipedia - their policies and such do not apply here on English wikipedia. Ealdgyth (talk) 19:22, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has no educational boundaries, what is represented in any of the Wikipedia entries is applied globally. Pipera (talk) 19:26, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- English Wikipedia does not generally do these sorts of long detailed genealogical descendancies. The idea is that each article is confined to information that helps the reader understand about that subject, not about tangential information - which the grandchildren and great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren are. Unless non-genealogical secondary sources discuss such things, we shouldn't either. Ealdgyth (talk) 19:32, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- That is also incorrect see: House of Tosny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Tosny Pipera (talk) 19:35, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- That isn't an article on a single person like this one is, so the comparison is not useful. What is useful to understand the subject of an article will differ between a biography of one person (this article) and an article covering the history of a noble house. Apples and oranges. Ealdgyth (talk) 19:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Charlemagne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne
- Wives, concubines, and children is detailed on all his children and their details and this is an English Wikipedia article. Pipera (talk) 19:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- And this article already gives wife and possible children. We just don't need the grandchildren, the spouses of the grandchildren and the parentage of those spouses, or the great-grandchildren and thier spouses and parentage of those spouses. Charlemage's article just give spouses/wives/concubines and his children. Exactly what this article gives (because there is just one wife and two possible offspring, there is no need for a bulleted list). Ealdgyth (talk) 19:52, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

- Each are detailed. Pipera (talk) 19:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Please learn to LINK articles within wikipedia .... you've been here long enough to know how. The Cemais one is a list, and not genealogicaly listed. The FitzMartin article I found FitzMartin, is again, about a noble house, not an individual. Also - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is useful reading - just because there's an article/list/something that doesn't fit with a policy/guideline, doesn't mean that we should scrap the policy/guideline.

- I used https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9F%A5%E7%90%86%E6%9B%BC as a source in a German article on Charlemagne and this is educationally sound, it enforces a reference that I used in an article to support this. Pipera (talk) 19:33, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Pipera (talk) these edits have made a total hash of this ... learn to figure out what a citation is and who the author is (hint - the 1913 Bedfordshire Historical Record Society thing you're trying to cite is already in the article - it's Chambers and Fowler. These cites break cite-text integrity, and are just not the way we write encyclopedia articles ... this has been explained over and over and over ...
