? Jadeite on Somerset Levels

Hi, Thanks for your extensive edits to Somerset Levels. Do you know if the axe was Jadeite? Also I see you've added lots of references but can you indicate which pieces come from which sources - I can help with the referencing format if you need it?— Rod ^talk 12:39, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

PCT

Adresia, if you want to discuss the PCT, do so, at the Paleolithic Continuity Theory article, or, if you must, at the Proto-Indo-European Urheimat hypotheses article, but please stop inserting this stuff at Indo-European languages: see WP:UNDUE. dab (𒁳) 10:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Sources

Have you got any sources for the information that you added to History of the Royal Navy? Per Wikipedia:Verifiability, every addition needs sourcing. As it is, I know the article needs work and a lot more sources, but all the same, sources please? Woody (talk) 13:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to History of the Royal Navy. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. Woody (talk) 14:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, do you not think that the page is getting a bit top-heavy. Whilst the information is useful, I think it is placing undue emphasis on the Anglo-Saxon and pre-saxon periods, where actually there wasn't a Navy. The page is already getting long and I think some of the information above the "The beginnings of an organised navy, 1485–1642" and particularly the "Norman" should be trimmed.

Hill forts in Somerset

Thanks for your comments at Category talk:Hill forts in Somerset. I've responded on that talk page - do you have enough information from WP:RS that could be used to start the missing articles?— Rod ^talk 16:15, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I've noticed some of your contributions, specifically your efforts in adding information on Iron Age hillforts. It's a good effort on a subject not well enough covered on wikipedia. If you intend to further contribute to wikipedia, which I sincerely hope you do, it might be worth reading up on WP:V, especially how to use citation templates and filling in the necessary fields; this allows the reader, especially an academic doing research, to see where each piece of information has come from. It's not so important for small articles, but becomes more important for longer articles. A useful source is pastscape, it's particularly useful for finding out whether a site has Scheduled Monument status. Happy editing. Nev1 (talk) 15:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Tin

Thank you for your recent addition to the Tin article. However, the information was not appropriate due to the extent of the content that is entirely related to Great Britian. Following Wikipedia standards regarding undue weight and keeping a neutral world view, an article about Tin should not have so much information about the production of tin from a single location. Do not take the removal of your information as a personal attack, but feel free to incorporate the information into a more appropriate article with proper sources, such as an article on mining in Great Britian or tin mining in Great Britian. Thank you and if you have any questions please let me know. Theseeker4 (talk) 15:56, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Albion, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 16:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

That's not how we do it. See WP:CITE. Toddst1 (talk) 16:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Adresia! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 2 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Simon James (archaeologist) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Miranda Green - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Old news

This edit is ancient, but I thought I'd drop you a line anyway: Otloh doesn't have this information; it's from the early 14th century, from a local (Exeter) history. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 20:25, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Diagram of British Isles

Re "This should include Alderney and Sark also, as geographical entities but not political divisions. Adresia (talk) 11:25, 23 November 2009 (UTC)" - Why would you list them but not the Isle of White or Achill Island? 84.203.70.133 (talk) 18:31, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Aquae Sulis

I've had to revert you here as the footnote numbers don't link to anything and as it stands, without attribution it is a copyright violation. I'm guessing this is from another of our articles, so what you need to do is go into that article in edit mode and then copy the material into Aquae Sulis so that we can see the sources. At the same time you need to put into the edit summary "copied from name of article to avoid a copyright violation. We need to be able to trace back edits to editors in order to avoid what we call copyvio. I ran into this problem myself when I was new. Dougweller (talk) 11:52, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Some time ago, at this edit, you added "A paper in "The Last of the Britons" conference in 2007 suggests that the West Wansdyke continues from Maes Knoll to the hill forts above the Avon Gorge and controls the crossings of the river at Saltford and Bristol as well as at Bath ." I can't find this publication and wonder if you have access to a copy? Richard Keatinge (talk) 22:27, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
