King Arthur historicity

I appreciate there is alot of work you put into this article and know it is a pain when people considerably alter one's work. I want to try and address your points (Celt & Saxon connot be left out though, nor can we discredit people openly here, we can only try to present our point impartially, and without preference (hard I understand) and the result can only be the best if this is done). I am going through it again and will try a slightly different approach. Once it is done you can do your edits as you please. You may want to wait until is is done to respond in discussion.WikieWikieWikie (talk) 18:24, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok no problem. My feeling on the bias arises when there is settlement on the argument against the argument for, rather than equal criticality, on the both parts. I dont think it is right for one side to be shown to defeat the other. I cant see any bias in my work on the article. I may try to tip the balance back the other way slightly and I will try to find other refernces to support this. I am sure John Morris say something to the effect of the B-E ref.

King Arthur

No worries, I'll check it out.--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism

My friend, I just looked the article on Arthur, and I am afraid that you will find it has been vandalised. Some rather childish references to mail genitalia have been inserted. A shame that people have nothing to better to do with their lives.

It is indeed; however, I'm impressed by how speedily vandalism has been reverted today, which reaffirms my faith in wiki :-) Cheers Hrothgar cyning (talk) 19:44, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mainpage

I had no idea, last time I checked it wasn't even on the rotation yet. You're right about just waiting a bit to try and tune it back up to concert pitch; any good edit right now is just as likely as a bad one to get swallowed up in the deluge. Once again, many thanks and congratulations on the article being put up, it's clearly some of Wikipedia's finest work, and one of the best encyclopedia articles on Arthur that's out there.

And thanks about the degree, it was a long time coming.--Cúchullain ^t/c 23:52, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's all working out. The FA version of the article still stands and there are several devoted editors keeping watch to make sure it doesn't suffer too much from mediocre revisions.

As for my degree, I've gotten a "real job" at my school (University of North Florida), which will help me pay for graduate school if I stay there. I plan on pursuing an MA in English literature with a focus on medieval literature, though this all depends on extenuating factors like time, money, and my girlfriend's plans.

I hope all is going well with your research. I try to keep up with the Arthurian world, but find myself having less free time these days. I recall you saying some time ago you were finishing up another book? How goes it with that?--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

King Arthur

I thought about dropping by and congratulating you for the quality of the article, but this is probably a better compliment: [1], in case you were not aware of it :) 189.105.102.249 (talk) 22:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - that really is an impressive number of visits! Cheers, Hrothgar cyning (talk) 14:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur's name

Hey Hrothgar, it's been a while. There have been some changes to King Arthur#Name by a user who has called into question some of the sources previously used. I don't know if the solution is removal, or at least relocation to the Arthur article, or if just supplying counter arguments in the section will do it. Please weigh in if you get a chance. I hope all is well with you.--Cúchullain ^t/c 12:27, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
