Angevins vs. Plantagenet

In line with your addition of 'Angevins' to the Royal Houses of Europe template, perhaps the infoboxs on Richard the Lionheart, John, Henry II etc need to be updated. At the moment they give their royal house as 'House of Plantagenet'. I'm unsure if some would consider this contentious or not - maybe some consensus should be sought on the House of Plantagenet talk page? I'm not exactly in the know about the subject, so it may just be a case of being bold and going for it. Sotakeit (talk) 13:13, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Question

Do you still want me to copy edit House of Plantagenet, or are you getting a bit impatient? I prefer to take my time when copy editing, to ensure that I do not make rushed decisions, but some others can copy edit much faster than I can. I'm still more than willing to do it, since that is a very interesting subject to me, but I don't want to delay your FAC longer than I have to... --Biblioworm 14:55, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Biblioworm:—I am happy with what you have done to date (although I occasionally raise an eyebrow at some of the edits). It looks great and would appreciate it if you completed it to the same high standard. So my answer is yes, please. I can wait, if we are going to get this right. What would be good would be if you could give a rough estimate of when you might complete the edit based on what you have learned to date and the amount of text to go? Thanks for everything so far, regards Norfolkbigfish (talk) 10:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi again, Norfolk. Unfortunately, I am unable to continue copy editing this article. Please see the note that I left on the GOCE requests page. Regards, --Biblioworm 02:02, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Copy edited House of Plantagenet

Hi Norfolkbigfish. I've finished the copy edit you requested. Sorry again that it took so long. I'll keep it on my watch list for now. There are some comments and questions on the talk page. One point: several names are linked many times. As the article uses so many names, I think this helps to avoid confusion, so I haven't removed any (or not many), but this might be questioned at FAC. I'm not sure. Kind regards, --Stfg (talk) 22:34, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

GOCE Request: Owen Tudor

I have finished editing the Owen Tudor page, as per your GOCE request for it to be copy edited. A few comments:

• At the end of the Background section you included the phrase "and to the end of that predominance." I could not figure out its place in the sentence, so I removed it. Feel free to add it back in.
• Clarify the phrases "Welshmen secured positions at the court," "steward of the king's court," "the liaison prompted," and "with a position in court". Whose court? Which king? What liaison? Which court?
• At the end of the Early Life section you included the phrase "to serve in France." I could not figure out its place in the sentence, so I removed it. Feel free to add it back in.
• In relation to Tudor's son, Jasper, you wrote that he "was attainted as a traitor in 1461." In the presence of the typo I assume you had meant to say something along the lines of "was branded as a traitor in 1461." If I distorted the meaning, feel free to change it.
• Clarify the meaning of "protection from the statute on dowager queen's remarriage". It would probably be best to elaborate on this concept where the statue is initially discussed, in the Catherine of Valois section.
• I removed the sentences about the family of Margaret, wife of Tudur Fychan, as it is not relevant to how Owen Tudor descends from Rhys ap Gruffydd, the purpose of the Ancestry section. I would not recommend adding the section back in, as it adds clutter to the article, however, you can add it back if you wish.

Otherwise, it looks great!. You should be good for a GA nomination. Hampton11235 (talk) 00:28, 25 June 2015 (UT

Definitions of crusades don't match body text

Hello, I'm trying to ce Crusades, but the definitions don't seem to match the body text. The defs in two sections on the page seem to want to limit crusades to only those sanctioned by the relevant Pope, and then draw a further distinction between (sanctioned) religious actions and (also sanctioned) political ones. However, the pages also discusses shepherds' crusades etc. which seem to be only (non-sanctioned) popular movements. Thoughts? Change or explain definition (preferable) or remove popular movements (less preferable)?  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 02:23, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

• @Lingzhi:—thanks for the help. This one has caused massive argument on here in the past and also generally amongst historians. I suspect they do match but arn't worded clearly. What is called pluralistic really does cover the Papal sanctioned Crusades i.e. a crusade is any military activity sanctioned by a Pope for religious reasons. What is called narrower I think is any campaign by Europeans to recover the Holy Land in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries which just about covers the popular crusades although of course they never even got there. I could source this to the OED. What do you think? Norfolkbigfish (talk) 08:52, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

• If people have been arguing about this then yes of course we must source it to the best source(s) available. I will probably have some time tomorrow or maybe the next day to fix things according to your post here. Please do look over the lede and see if I screwed anything up other than the def of crusade. :-) Will keep working but am busy in real life right now. later!   Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 09:09, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

• PS while I'm here the lede mentions poerty and songs 'n stuff but I don't see it in body text. PLease see other comments on talk page. More comments later. Tks  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 09:11, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

• I've actually done some genuinely nontrivial editing so far... I'm on vacation now, though. Things are slowing down here and I might have more time in the next few days to do more editing, but I can't guarantee that. So, I could mark the Crusades as "done" on the GOCE page, or we could just continue to play it by ear as we have been. What do you think?  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 01:43, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

• @Lingzhi:—I think play it by ear. You have already improved this article a great deal thx, it would be a shame not to complete what you can editing wise. Is this ok with you, though? Cheers Norfolkbigfish (talk) 09:04, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

• I could mark it Done on the GOCE page but still continue editing later, maybe three weeks from now, after my vacation. At that time I would have much better access to computer time and reference resources. For the next two weeks or so I can make no promises about being able to do anything at all (tho I might find some time in there somewhere). OK?  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 16:12, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Crusades 2

Hello, Norfolkbigfish -- I hope you don't mind, but I made a few more edits tweaking your clarifying edits, all of which were definite improvements. There is one sentence that I still think needs attention:

• While Helen Nicholson argues that the increased contact between cultures brought about by the Crusades improved the Western perception of Islamic culture, it is difficult to compare the impact of the Crusades with other interactions between Europeans and Islam.

(a) Who says, or thinks, "it is difficult to compare..."?

(b) If not introducing the second of two simultaneous actions, "while" usually introduces a contrast. Here, I don't see a contrast, or, at least, the contrast is not clear. The first clause is:

• contact...improved Western perception of Islamic culture

The second clause is saying:

• difficult to compare...Crusades with other interactions.

The two clauses seem to have little to do with each other. Do you mean, perhaps:

• It is difficult to compare the impact of this increased contact to other interactions between Europeans and the Islamic world.

and, to make it even clearer, and make it clear that there are differences of opinion among historians,

• other historians say that it is difficult to compare...:

• While Helen Nicholson argues that the increased contact between cultures brought about by the Crusades improved the Western perceptions of Islamic culture, other historians say that it is difficult to compare the impact of this increased contact to other interactions between Europeans and the Islamic world.

But I still wonder about the necessity of introducing the idea of comparison here.

 – Corinne (talk) 14:09, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

• @Corinne:—thanks for that, it made me think a lot for the sake on a sentence. I have edited and give it a go to remove the compare. What do you think? Norfolkbigfish (talk) 16:01, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

A slight improvement. Here is the first part of the paragraph as it is now. I will number the sentences for ease of discussion:

• (1) Historians argue that western Christian and Islamic interaction was a significant, ultimately positive, factor in the development of European civilisation and the Renaissance. (2) Western perceptions of Islamic culture improved through many interactions between Europeans and Islam across the entire length of the Mediterranean Sea. (3) This makes it difficult for historians to identify the source of various examples of cultural cross fertilisation. (4) However, Helen Nicholson believed a significant contribution was made by increased contact between cultures brought about by the Crusades.

Regarding sentence (2):

(a) I don't think the interactions were between people ("Europeans") and a religion ("Islam"). They should be between two groups of people, two religions, two cultures, or two spheres of influence. You might get away with "Europeans and the Islamic world", or "Europeans and the people of the Islamic world", or "Europeans and the culture of the Islamic world", or "Europe and the Islamic world".

(b) You should have "the" before "many interactions". I also think it would help to give a time period, even a rough time period, here, perhaps at the end of the sentence, something like "during the medieval period", "during the Middle Ages", from the xth to the xth centuries".

Regarding sentence (3), "This makes it difficult for historians to identify the source of various examples of cultural cross fertilisation,":

(a) The word "this" is a little vague. It sounds like it refers to "Western perceptions...improved," and it shouldn't.

(b) I would re-word the sentence as follows:

• Historians thus find it difficult to identify the specific source of various instances of cultural cross-fertilisation.

I would re-word sentence (2), turning it around, and join sentence (3) to it:

• The many interactions between Europeans and the Islamic world across the entire length of the Mediterranean Sea led to improved perceptions of Islamic culture, but also make it difficult for historians to identify the specific source of various instances of cultural cross-fertilisation.

If you want to, you can put the time period after "Mediterranean Sea".

By the way, regarding sentence (1), it was I who added, in this edit, the phrase "ultimately positive" as I was re-wording it. You didn't change it, so I guess that means you approved, but I just hope it reflects the source; you might want to check; if it doesn't, you could remove these two words and the sentence would still make sense.

Regarding sentence (4), I think this sentence is related to sentence (1); in fact, it supports it. Why not move it, and join it to sentence (1)? There is no reason for the contrast expressed by "However". Would it make sense simply to write for sentence (1):

• Many historians, including Helen Nicholson, argue that the interaction between the western Christian and Islamic cultures was a significant, ultimately positive, factor in the development of European civilisation and the Renaissance.

(If you're going to indicate a time period for the interactions, it should be in this sentence, not the next one.) So, if you do this, the first part of this paragraph would read:

• Many historians, including Helen Nicholson, argue that the interaction between the western Christian and Islamic cultures [optional time period here] was a significant, ultimately positive, factor in the development of European civilisation and the Renaissance. The many interactions between Europeans and the Islamic world across the entire length of the Mediterranean Sea led to improved perceptions of Islamic culture, but also make it difficult for historians to identify the specific source of various instances of cultural cross-fertilisation.

Two sentences instead of four. Best regards,  – Corinne (talk) 17:24, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

• I like this @Corinne:—Thank You. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 10:06, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi there!

I’m not very active nowadays with work but I’ve noticed you’ve added a fair number of cn tags to the Angevin Empire article. I rewrote a fair amount of the article a number of years ago and so I would guess it lacking enough citations is in large part my fault! I will aim to go through it at some point soon and add the relevant citations. Luckily I still have all the books on hand that I used! Many thanks! SamWilson989 (talk) 00:58, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Last reminder

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Borsoka (talk) 13:16, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

PoV pushing

WP:NPOV is a basic principle of our community. We are not here to push certain PoVs, but to try to provide a fair picture of all relevant scholarly PoVs. Your edits in the "Crusades" article, your methods of communication and some of your remarks about your fellow editors suggest that you are unable to approach this subject in a neutral way. Pushing a single point of view is a main pattern of disruptive editing and disruptive editing may result in a topic ban. Borsoka (talk) 01:08, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

A very personal question

Do you really think you can edit the "Crusade" article? Identifying an Oxford historian as a PR manager may suggest that you do not have enough knowledge of the crusades. I assume that you actually read Prawer, but there are dozens of other historians who wrote books about the crusades. Actually, congratulations - you almost achieved a new FA. :) Borsoka (talk) 18:33, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Put the link to the PR manager you cited on your talk page Norfolkbigfish (talk) 18:49, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

You are right. He works as PR manager. However, his book was published by the Oxford University Press. Borsoka (talk) 02:07, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

My question is still valid. During the last two months, you may have realised that your limited knowledge of the crusades prevent you from properly summarize scholarly views. Almost half of the sentences in the old version of the article contained original research or original synthesis ([6]). With your remarkable communication skills and social intelligence you almost achieved a FA promotion, but during the last two months you have been able to make few edits which did not contain new pearls of original research or original synthesis. I emphasize that I am willing to cooperate with you, because your literary skills are outstanding, especially in comparison with my primitive English, but you must be exhausted. Sorry, but I have been working with people for decades, so nice sentences containing false information can rarely impress me. Borsoka (talk) 02:54, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

I am really tolerant and patient. However, you are unable to make edits without making new errors. Are you still sure that you should edit the article? Borsoka (talk) 13:21, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion

(not a warning or anything heavyhanded) Wikipedia is a place where people who are passionate about things often need to collaborate. That passion is A Good Thing, even if it leads to disagreement. To keep things as calm as possible and help everyone focus on deciding the often difficult disagreements, just comment on the issues and not the other user's manner, style of editing etc. I know that policy gives a fair amount of latitude in this area, and we all feel justified sometimes, but everything works much smoother if you take this advice.

A very personal message

Today you wrote about six sentences in the article about the crusader states. They contain two serious errors and a minor mistake ([7]). I do not want to mention your remarks about Tancred's princely title. After reviewing your edits for more than six months, I am convinced that your edits do not improve articles about the crusades or crusader states, but destroy them. Coming through pages and negligently summarizing their content can hardly be described as editing. I know that you were made believe that you could write high-quality articles about the crusades. I think you have already realised that editors who have read dozens of books about the crusades and their historiography can detect the obvious limits of your knowledge with ease. I kindly ask you to consider my previous advice and improve your skills in articles with more limited subjects.Borsoka (talk) 16:38, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Historiography of the Crusades

Thanks for your note. Most Wikipedia users deal with their compatriots in a polite fashion. Some don't. I may pick up the article, but only after everyone has moved on. In my experiences here and in business is that some one person needs to step up and rewrite these things. I've been in that position a few times, mostly successfully, but when the powers-that-be decide they don't your stuff, it's just too much bother to fight it. If you're trying to edit an article that they were the original author, forget about it. Back to the article, my current thinking is to follow Srnec's suggestion to have a separate, more detailed article on Medieval Sources. Adding all the material that needs to be there into this article would, I think, be overwhelming. I would add a section on archaeology in the original article, but other than that the structure seems sound. My only concern is that the new article would be flagged for immediate deletion as there is already an article on the subject. I've only thought about is cursorily and there may not be enough for a separate article, but I think there is. If I decide to go that route, I'll let you know.

Assise sur la ligece

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Assise sur la ligece has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

In the final sentence with word "balliage" appears. I was completely unable to find a meaning for the word except as an alternate spelling of a word referring to a specific woman's hairstyle, which I suspect has no relevance. Perhaps, if you know, you could add a definition in brackets following the word.

Hi Gog the Mild-I'll try and find some time to have a look it over. With the caveat it is not a period I am too familiar with. Looks like it has go a bit convoluted already!! Norfolkbigfish (talk) 17:34, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

I think that that is a surface impression. It is being reviewed by two subject experts, so there is much thrashing out of detailed issues. But these all seem to be getting resolved amicably. This is my twelfth FAC from the Punic Wars, so I am confident that it will all get sorted out. I would actually like a review from a non-period expert, even if a little superficial. I worry a that we may be assuming knowledge and that it may not read too well for the mythical "ordinary reader". So comments on grammar, flow and "what does that mean?" would be welcome.

If you could give it a skim I would appreciate it. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:47, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

I know you've chimed in before on the issue of article length vs. readable prose. So what ever you can do would be appreciated. Dr. Grampinator (talk) 18:24, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Dr. Grampinator, FWIW I think you are doing a remarakable job on the sources suite of articles, in the face of some epic WP pedantry. I hope I am helping rather than hindering, let me know if not. RFC is intended to get some fresh eyes on the subject, which I hope will apply WP:COMMONSENSE. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 23:07, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I can't decide if the amusement factor of all of this is greater than the frustration factor. (I have to be careful about what I say as the DWS (deep Wikipedia state) is apparently monitoring our Talk pages.) I was hoping someone would confess to the view that there should never be a largest article, but no one would bite. Nevertheless, the good thing about this little exercise was that it focused my attention on the whole picture. I never wanted to write on modern historians as I was really focused on the medieval and classical ones, and didn't know much about them other than the usual cast of characters. Plus I though that the references would just be links to Amazon. But I was pleasantly surprised and am learning a lot. I did move all of the 20th century stuff to the modern section and created a new one on archaeology, which needs to be beefed up with some material from the Sources page. The new article is under 600k, so I give it another 24 hours before the calls to split are renewed. Thanks for your input.

Again, thanks for your input. I can't believe the ugly tone the discussion took, but shouldn't be surprised given the events of the day. I moved the Traveller section over to the archaeology document, so this one is now 20th in line. I hope they now turn their attention to some of the other stellar articles in the "longest" list. Sadly, I just got a copy of a book (Austin Evans, Bibliography of English Translations from Medieval Sources) that will push it back to the forefront once I start adding the material in. If you're interested in this stuff, it looks to well worth the $8 I paid on Amazon. Dr. Grampinator (talk) 05:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Crusading

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Crusading has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I'll point out a couple of things that came up in the course of my copy edit. Another editor insists on a specific citation in the lede for the term "sanctioned" by the Latin Church. They are not satisfied with the citations in several areas in the body of the article where this is mentioned. I added several "Clarification" tags in the Historiography section where the sentences make no sense. I added rough translations for Latin and French terms so this is consistent throughout the article. (You may not feel this is necessary, please feel free to remove them if this is the case.) Best of luck with the article moving forward.I see that there is much discussion around it and the topic in general.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:31, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist:, just for clarification: the editor does not insist on a specific citation for the term "sanctioned", but for the whole first sentence. As an other editor mentioned, for the time being the whole article is a fork of the "Crusades" article. Borsoka (talk) 03:25, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Borsoka Thanks for the clarification. 12:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Crusader states

The article Crusader states you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Crusader states for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Crusader States maps

Hello Norfolkigfish, I've gone and replaced the top map in the article with a revised version based on the map that was there. The new version, has imo text that is easier to read, and it makes the Crusader States more prominent. I can add more to the map if you have any suggestions.

Some of the other maps in the article are not properly referenced on WikiCommons and are of dubious quality, so I might be making some changes to them as well to help you get them through the GAN process. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 21:22, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

What was the original motivation for Crusading?

We should support initiatives of contributors, unless we have some reasons not to, because, obviously these contributors worked on these initiatives for some reason. This is just common sense. I see no reason to object the split as described by johnbod and you, so I believe we should support this plan. This being said, even though it will not affect my position, I am curious to know what was the original motivation. Is it only because the article felt too big? There is another reason that would make sense. It could very well be that you felt that too much space was given to the traditional crusades and this created an imbalance. WP:NPOV says that the importance given to a point of view must correspond to the notability of the point of view, but this does not apply here, because a subject is not a point of view. Covering less an aspect (which is a subject in itself) and more another aspect does not break any rule. For example, saying very little about milhist so that it is covered in another article is not pushing one point of view against another. It breaks no rule. It is something to be decided among editors. However, some people might somehow attach a point view, an implicit statement, to the space given to the traditional crusades in the "top" article and wish that this point of view is expressed in Wikipedia. I have no idea what could be this point of view, but doing this would be very disrespectful of Wikipedia philosophy, because points of view must be attributed to their authors. They should not be expressed by Wikipedia, especially not in an indirect manner. But, here, I am just making wild guesses, because I don't understand why people are against your proposal and they provide no explanation. Borsoka says it's because the traditional crusades are linked to all other crusades, but that's not a big problem. It just mean some duplication is required to give a context for these links. It breaks no rules. It's not enough to reject the proposal. Certainly not enough to justify these long discussions. Dominic Mayers (talk) 02:19, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Dominic Mayers II—I attempt to answer this in a roundabout way by explaining my overall motivation and a little bit of my WP history. I like the challenge of shaping this sort of article in WP and getting it validated through GA, Milhist ACR and FAC. When I came to Crusades it was one of those C-Class articles from the dawn of WP that was based on uploaded out of copyright text. It was like what I found with House of Plantagenet which also had contested scope, a plethora of other summary articles e.g. House of York, House of Lancaster and a wealth of detail articles. I achieved GA, ACR and FA but establishing a scope that was suitably summarised and uncontentious. There were a few false starts but to this day I believe it may be the only dynastic article on WP at FA. With Crusades it failed three times. First time in lack of content, particularly on the Crusader States. Second time it timed out. Thirdly, I believe on the conflict between narrative history and thematic history. There are scores of popular histories that start with a mention of 7th century Islamic expansion, Manzikert, Pope Urban and run through the traditional crusades, Reconquista, a bit of political crusading, the Northern Crusades, some popular crusades a bit about Heretics and Cathars and then peter out for no reason in the 15th or 16th centuries. There are editors involved in this debate who believe that because there are numerous books formatted like this, this article should follow this chronology. There is no rationale for what connects all these events and there is no easy way to format this in a way that does not give WP:UNDUE or omits detail entirely. I think on WP List of Crusades to Europe and the Holy Land already covers this quite nicely. The subject is dominated by the First Crusade and following that the numbering system gives a false sense of coherence. Crusading in the Middle East was continual from the dawn of the First Crusade through to the fall of Acre with a couple of aftershocks. To cover this, draw the various strands together and fill in the gaps an article is needed dedicated to the traditional crusades. Quite rightly it has been pointed out that this does not cover the entire range of academic concerns on Crusades. It is always worth having Constable’s definitions in mind but not be too wedded to them. Traditionalists, I have covered above, and I think requires an article. Popularists only include those where there were groundswells of popular supports e.g. First and popular crusades. This I feel is too narrow. Pluralists include all conflict clerically sanctioned. Better, but popular crusades are therefore excluded so still a little bit narrow. Lastly, generalists include everything, and the article becomes one of Catholic Holy War albeit called crusades. This resolves several issues. Firstly, Reconquista and other formative conflicts started before there was even the idea of a crusade, indeed the word was not used until the end of the 12th century, crusading was not formulised until the beginning of the 13th and Tyerman has argued that there were no crusades in the 12th century between the First and the Third (although his tongue may have been in his cheek). This I think is the other article, I hope you can see both are hugely different. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 10:46, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Stepping back a bit, my most important question is which of the two articles will be your primary target for FAC. I suspect that it is Crusades and your purpose is to have a scope that is "suitably summarised and uncontentious" for this article, but maybe not. I think it will be a good idea to focus on Crusades reaching FAC at the least as much as Crusading reaching FAC.

This is a GAA that I create for myself, because abbreviations and acronyms sometimes need a glossary:

GA : Good article, which is Good article in the Military History Assessment criteria.

Milhist ACR : Military history A-Class review in the Military History Assessment criteria.

FAC : Featured article candidate, which is Featured article candidacy in the Military History Assessment criteria.

When you write "There is no rationale for what connects all these events" do you mean there is no rationale at all or no rationale is provided in the chronological history format, which you previously described? I bet it's the latter, but I am checking.

Can you be more specific about the WP:UNDUE that is created in this format? I guess you answer this with "The subject is dominated by the First Crusade", but I am checking. Similarly, which details are otherwise omitted?

You write "This resolves several issues". Could you be more specific? "This" is not clear from the context, especially given the fact that you mostly previously explained approaches that do not work, including Constable’s classification to define subjects. I bet you mean the generalists approach, but I am checking.

Most of what you say to support "this" approach has to do with the usage of the term "Crusade" (by different scholars in different perspectives). For example, whether or not there were crusades in the 12th century between the First and the Third depends on how we define "crusade". Are you suggesting that the subject of the article is about that. This could indeed be an interesting subject and there are perhaps enough sources for WP:Notability. I would not worry that the subject is too focused. On the contrary, precise subjects are better. No need to merge artificially. OTOH, given the context provided by previous discussions, I bet this is not the subject. I believe the subject is the generalists definition as offered by Constable. The meaning of Crusades among scholars is one aspect only.

If my understanding is correct, I would suggest an RfC that asks "Should there be an article that focuses on the traditional crusades?" with the hope that the consensus will be Yes. One thing that I would suggest is that we do not say that Crusades is this article. This is a separate question and it should be answered separately, because it is a technical aspect related to the work already done in Crusades (or rather the expectation with which it was done before your split). My bet is that the choice of the majority will be that Crusades is about all crusades, but that's fine and if it is discussed in the RfC, I suggest that we agree with this technical aspect and only concern ourselves with the question of the RfC. There is a good chance that there will be a strong support, because, for example, it is part of the strategy of RandomCanadian. By the way, I cannot see why you do not support RandomCanadian, because the global organization is the same. The target article in the merge that RandomCanadian proposes cannot belong to RandomCanadian, nor Crusading should belong to you. So, why not use this target in the same way as you want to use Crusading. The outcome would be exactly what you want. Dominic Mayers (talk) 15:40, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Dominic Mayers II—I think that is a good idea. The only reason I don't support RandomCanadian is in timing. Merging Crusading into Crusades rather moves this article, which is predominately traditional anyway, away from the end point. If the RFC you suggest was successful, and a Crusades to the Middle East was created first I could fully support RC, as I suspect could Johnbod. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 09:47, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

You have not answered my other questions. I will assume that my tentative answer to my question is correct, if you don't answer. Otherwise, I would appreciate to know what's wrong with my tentative answer. Dominic Mayers (talk) 10:41, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Five steps toward an RfC

I propose the following five steps toward an RfC.

1. Invitation. We invite all contributors that are interested to participate in this five steps approach as way to move forward. This step could be done later, say after the second step.
2. The framework. We create the pages Talk:Crusades/Crusades (Traditional view) and Talk:Crusades/Crusades (General view). The titles are only informative, not final. At the beginning of the traditional view page, we add "This articles covers all crusades in the traditionalists view. For the generalists view see Talk:Crusades/Crusades (General view)." We do the equivalent in the general view page.
3. Temporary merge. Only as a starting point, we put all contents that concern crusades in the generalists view page. This would of course include content that makes sense in the traditionalists view. The text should be coherent. This step can be done in parallel with the next step when it's obvious, not controversial.
4. Split. We create the same structure in terms of sections and subsections in the traditionalists view page. We move every thing that is pertinent to appreciate the traditional crusades from the general view to the traditional view page. In the process, editing will be required to keep both pages coherent and reasonably self-contained. Link between pages should be used to avoid unnecessary duplication. We reorganize sections in the traditional view page, e.g., merge sections that are too small, if needed.
5. RfC. We create a text that explain the issue. I believe that part of the issue is that having a page on the generalists view is seen as opposed to the traditionalists view, but yet this split is not a content fork and breaks no Wikipedia rules. We call the RfC. This step can be done much earlier, but the idea is that we must do some work so that the RfC is well prepared.

By the way, you use incorrectly the concept of WP:undue in your above comment. Having an imbalance toward a subtopic does not break WP:Undue, because a subtopic is not a point of view. This is explained in WP:NPOVFACT and WP:SPINOFF. It would not break any Wikipedia rules to keep that imbalance, but it does not mean that we must keep it. Though, if an implicit statement is made by this imbalance, then it breaks WP:WIKIVOICE because it makes Wikipedia asserts implicitly a statement. It creates an editorial bias. Dominic Mayers (talk) 10:38, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Maybe Dominic Mayers II—I am not really interested in WP rules anyway, they are only there for guidance, they are not enforced and they are largely open to interpretation. The point I was making was that in order to beef up the content that is beyond the crusades to the Middle East content with tenuous or no connection to crusades has been added. Events are given undue weight, or indeed some weight, that they don't warrant considering the subject matter, only because similar events that there have a rationale for inclusion are mentioned. Examples include the development of Latin polities in the Iberian Peninsula, Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, the expulsion of Jews and Muslims from Spain in 1492, Reisen, Władysław II Jagiełło,Jadwiga of Poland, Battle of Grunwald, Byzantine civil war of 1341–1347, and Feast of the Pheasant. All may be notable. But there is no, or little, rationale for their inclusion given in the article and in most cases none exists. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 16:45, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

I deeply share your view that WP rules are there for guidance only, but this guidance is very important, because it is a way to get a common perspective. Anyway, I nevertheless made a mistake to bring these rules here, because it was a diversion from the main point, which is the five steps proposal. What is your feelings about this approach. I understand what you wrote (you refer to the fact that the subject must be precise and content should be pertinent given the subject). I interpret it as a point against a mix of the generalists view with the traditionalists view (though your point might be that, say the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, does not even fit in a generalists view), but I would like to see the connection with the proposal. It's similar to RandomCanadian's proposal (it is a merge together with a separate article on the traditional crusades), but it's also indirectly conditional to a successful RfC as you requested in your support to it. Perhaps, the link with the proposal is that the merge step seems unnatural, but it's temporary and if it really appears unnatural, it's good, because the split will be natural.

Crusadering movement

Hi, I've tuned out of the Great Debates, but sometimes look in - it looks as though ever-deepening ruts are being worn in the mud. But if there is ever a moment when you think an intervention would be helpful do let me know. I admire your patience; if it was me I think I'd find something else to do for a year or so. Johnbod (talk) 23:08, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Johnbod—much appreciated. I think your last sentence probably contains some useful advice for me :-) Norfolkbigfish (talk) 07:16, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

I tried to find what kind of word play there is in "Crusadering", but could not find any. I don't understand it. It must be a typo. However, I do understand that you are not happy with the outcome of these long discussions. I do not understand exactly why though. It's not only exhaustion, because, even if one worked hard to get something, if the result is good, one usually feels like celebrating and I don't see that you are celebrating at all. I would appreciate to better understand why you do not seem satisfied. A couple of reasons come to my mind, but they are only guesses. I would prefer to hear it directly from you. Dominic Mayers (talk) 13:43, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

It's a joke. I hope your first two sentences are too, but I'm not sure. Never mind. Johnbod (talk) 16:03, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

I appreciate you Johnbod. I was mistaken when I wrote that it was a typo. My formal English was not good enough to appreciate it. Dominic Mayers (talk) 11:50, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Dominic Mayers—I am not really sure I understand the question, I agree 100% with Alsee that this is a young article that should be given time to grow and evolve in the normal WP way. It needs the input of other editors using other sources to get to the point I thought it should. I also agree with Dr Graminator that it would be useful to WP:RM it to Crusading movement as the name always prompts some unnecessary contention. I imagine that Srnec would support this, and it was he who placed the original tag, because he has suggested Crusading instituitions. Personally, I don't think instuitions is as easy to understand, particularly when the article should include popular perceptions outside formal organisations. Btw Crusadering is Johnbod's title, I suspect it is a typo as well, but we all know what he means. It is probably grammatically correct, but my formal English doesn't go that far. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 14:40, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps it just me that had the impression given your above exchange with Johnbod that you were disappointed with the outcome of these long discussions, but you do not seem so disappointed after all. Dominic Mayers (talk) 14:45, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Regarding an overlap between Crusades and Crusading movement

FWIW, I think Crusading instituitions and ideologies is better than Crusading movement. I understand that Crusading movement has the advantage of being broader, but it so broad that it certainly includes the milhist, maybe not in your mind, but it actually does, and something so broad might invite oppositions. Dominic Mayers (talk) 15:26, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

I think WP:CONCISE applies here Dominic Mayers. Happy to go with consensus, but I remain of the opinion that Crusading movement is more appropriate. As Dr Graminator pointed out we can use Riley-Smith and the Oxford Encyclopedia as a starting point, which uses this exact phrase. This article should refer to the military campaigns, but just not at the MILHIST level of detail e.g. the failure that was the second crusade can de covered in a sentence, but its impact on the confidence of Christendom lasted 50 years and could be a useful thread through a number of topics. FWIW Johnbod and I have been involved in these debates for years and some editors make it much harder than it should be. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 15:55, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I was indeed referring to a concern that "Crusading movement" overlap with "Crusades". It's again the duplication issue that shows up here, but, as you know, it has always been the main concern. What is needed is to remove the misunderstanding that WP is against an overlap of subjects. There is no need for Crusades to be seen as being about the traditional crusades or for Crusading movement to be seen strictly about institutions and ideologies. The overlap is fine and we simply deal with it when we consider specific content. When we consider how content is included in Crusading movement, we do what is best for this article while taking advantage of the article Crusades and, reciprocally, when we consider how content is included in Crusades, we do what is best for this article while taking advantage of the article Crusading movement. We avoid overlap as much as possible (see below), but without compromising in any way the quality of each article. In this manner, both articles with their distinct though overlapping scope have the best chance to reach FA. No Wikipedia policies can be broken by having two great articles. Space is not an issue in WP. In fact, all core policies apply to a single article at a time: they say nothing about how two articles must relate. The guidelines for admissibility of articles do consider splitting and merging, but they basically say that editors must use their judgment and they are only guidelines anyway. Dominic Mayers (talk) 16:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

At the same time that I have the above view, which basically says that we must not worry about duplication, I must admit that I am very concerned when I see duplication in Wikipedia for a reason that is not mentioned often enough: we have limited human resources. Many articles that could easily be consolidated into a single article are not a good use of our human resources. It means that each article receives less attention and because of that might more easily violate core policies. A good global organization of the WP articles, even though it is not covered by core policies, is important for an optimal use of our human resources and it is also less confusing for the end users. An overlap is fine in the case of Crusades vs Crusading movement, but I appreciate that people are concerned when they see an overlap. Dominic Mayers (talk) 17:12, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Dominic Mayers, a tiny proportion of the users of WP edit, and only a tiny proportion of those edit in this topic so this is very much a red herring. In any case when it comes to overlapping, if that is the major concern, you are considering the wrong article. For example, if you consider the related articles Crusades, Crusading, First Crusade and Crusader States the article with the greatest overlap with the other articles is Crusades, and the one with the least overlap is Crusading. This would be expected because all the other articles are dominated by MILHIST, and Crusading is not. This is even allowing for the fact that a certain amount of overlap would be expected due to the page furniture, shared teminology and events. Crusading and Crusades are very different articles within the context of the same topic. As Almee pointed out Crusading is a young article that will grow and develop. As Dr Grampinator pointed out changing the name to Crusader movement would be helpful to readers. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 08:35, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure I follow your counterargument. You might be correct that the proportion of users that edit this topic is tiny, but this justifies my concern more than it makes it a red herring. We should adopt a strategy to optimize the usefulness of the many experts, perhaps not yet WP editors, that visit the topic and might sometimes offer their time to check its exactitude, etc. An efficient global organization of the topic, which avoid unnecessary duplication, seems a natural part of such a strategy. I do not want to minimize the importance that the tiny group that you have in mind somehow feels that it owns the topic in Wikipedia. It is good that this tiny group feels responsible for the topic, but their responsibility should include an effort to optimize the use of other editors. Your counterargument also ignores that an efficient global organization is not only the one that is seen by the tiny group, but also the one that is seen by the ordinary users. In other words, you might know that there is little overlap between Crusades and Crusading movement, but, for an ordinary user, this is not obvious from these names or even from the leads of the articles. This is a global organization issue, even if there is no overlap in the understanding of the tiny group. Dominic Mayers (talk) 09:54, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

First Crusade

Norfolkbigfish. My plan is to clean up the First Crusade and the first-tier articles it references. Mostly just for terminology, consistency and to make sure citations are to references that are generally relevant and available. Eventually, I want to do the same for Crusades, once the differences between it and Crusading Movement are clear. Crusades will be a bit harder, as the powers that be will fight every modification. I also want to fix Historiography, but again, that's a battle. Dr. Grampinator (talk) 16:20, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

It would be good to see one of your customary tidy-ups on the Crusades, particularly the Histography section, Dr. Grampinator. To me, it looks in a relatively good state, pretty close to the version that passed ACR and nearly reached FA—but it does need a fresh pair of eyes. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 17:23, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Norfolkbigfish I expect I'll finish up the First Crusade this week, and let it gel for a while. I would like to start on the Crusades, but am still playing around with some ideas. My personal view is that Crusades should focus on the straightforward military history and personalities of the major players a la the Routledge Companion, with more of the Crusading movement stuff (Tyerman, later Riley-Smith, etc.) in that article. I do think Riley-Smith's Oxford History is a good starting place with newer material (e.g., Jotischky) and some of the later historians who offer a bit of alternate history mixed in. I think a novice reader would be more comfortable with a straight-shot history (Crusades) followed by the more modern ideas (Crusading movement), but that's just me. After a year of thinking about Historiography, I'm starting to think that maybe there should be one that discusses the "chronologies" in Crusades and one that discusses things like "just war" and Erdmann's work in Crusading movement. Dr. Grampinator (talk) 22:27, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Makes sense to me :-) Norfolkbigfish (talk) 08:19, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

As you can see, I've begun to work on the Crusades, and was thinking there should be a summary section on the Crusading Movement, a la what you've been working on. After Section 5.0, and maybe move the Military Orders section under it? Thoughts? Dr. Grampinator (talk) 19:39, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Dr. Grampinator—I have been following your edits, looking good. Although it is a British English article and some International English spellings have slipt through. When you finish I'll ce if you like? I think your suggestion is an excellent way to summarise the link between the two articles and the wider context. Particularly, as in the 19th century, the military orders were the last active legacy of the Crusades to expire. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 07:32, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Feel free to jump in with edits/comments at any time, particularly when I change things from British English (as I surely will). I thought I'd do a brief, introductory section on the Hospitallers/Templars in the 1095–1291 chapter, with more detail in the Crusader movement section. The structure I put in is just a placeholder--the final should probably reflect the same in the main "movement" article. Dr. Grampinator (talk) 16:56, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Historiography of the Crusades

Can you explain what you were trying to fix with this edit? I don't think it had its intended purpose. Legoktm (talk) 07:20, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Good spot @Legoktm. I was attempting to fix the archiving on Historiography of the Crusades that didn't appear to be active and add the index banner. As I don't know how the bot works or the template I copied from another page but forgot to change the references to that page afterwards. I have tried to fix, but if you can correct my edits I would be more than happy. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 07:44, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Your most recent edit should have fixed it. I also created the index page, the bot will start generating it in its run tomorrow. Legoktm (talk) 05:33, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you @Legoktm, much appreciated. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 10:21, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Help me!

Please help me with... I tidied a citation to the ODNB in Crusades to use the ODNB template, however the original editor (@Dr. Grampinator) quite rightly pointed out that this says that the article is behind a paywall, which it isn't so the eroneous message might put off readers following the link. My changes are below

• Murray, Alan V. (2009). "Participants in the third crusade". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/98218. (Subscription or UK public library membership required.)

Would be useful to fix the template but it is not something I have experience of, all advice welcome. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 17:30, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

No need to fix the template. Just read the documentation and add the right parameter.

* Murray, Alan V. (2009). "Participants in the third crusade". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (online ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/98218.

It looks like you can just add |freearticle=y to your existing cite. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:56, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks @Jmcgnh, for next time where do I find the documentation? I did search, but failed. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 08:06, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for being so slow to get back to you. Templates - the things you use by surrounding them with doubled curly braces - have their own namespace on Wikipedia. So the documentation for {{cite news}} lives at Template:cite news/doc, but by convention appears on its superpage Template:cite news. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:54, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

April 2022

Your recent editing history at Crusading movement shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

GOCE copy edit of Crusading movement

Thank you @Dhtwiki, good work much appreciated. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 18:23, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Note that I left a clarify template here. I couldn't determine what "the clerical twentieth" referred to. Dhtwiki (talk) 01:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Dhtwiki, added the explanation that is effectively a 5% tax on the income of the church. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 12:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I made some tweaks. I was wondering whether the tax was a new one imposed at that time, or revenue from an already existing tax was diverted. The present wording implies the latter. I had googled the term "clerical twentieth" and came up with nothing. Dhtwiki (talk) 03:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Dhtwiki, I only got 10 myself when looking to respond to your query. Best was https://www.brepolsonline.net/doi/pdf/10.1484/J.RM.2.305599 which has To pay for this enormous undertaking, the Council agreed that all clergy should be asked to give a twentieth of their ecclesiastical income for three years, with the exception of some religious and those going in person and cites this to Elizabeth Siberry, Criticisms of Crusading 1095-1274, Oxford, 1985,np. 129. I note there is a duplicate use of the work tax in the sentence, I'll delete. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 10:28, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

If it was a new tax especially for the occasion, I would consider saying "Imposed" rather than just "Used", as though an exiting tax's funds were being diverted. Dhtwiki (talk) 06:51, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Hmmmm @Dhtwiki, I think it is then a question of timing, Ugolino wasn't yet Pope, so it wasn't his tax - it was Innocent's. But reading the source as he used the funds but I agree wholeheartedly that the wording is open to interpretation. Any good ideas? Norfolkbigfish (talk) 08:43, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

It now sounds as though it was an already-established tax and that the present wording is fine. Dhtwiki (talk) 23:34, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Crusading movement ACR

I noted this has been pending for quite a long time and thought I could probably bring the ACR to a conclusion. Assuming no big time problem gets in the way and no intervening review, I intend to do the third review before the end of this month. The article has been reviewed by two of the best reviewers and contributors on Wikipedia so I would expect not to have many more comments. In addition to online sources, I have three of the books. Given the prior reviews and source review, I doubt I will need to consult them, however. Donner60 (talk) 09:57, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Crusading movement has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Borsoka (talk) 04:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

I am informing you that the article was delisted during the reassessment process (the reasons are listed here [8]). I suggest you should as soon as possible clean the article from close paraphrasing and plagiarism. Please also consider reviewing other articles that you previously nominated, such as House of Plantagenet if you think they may violate copyright, because copyright violations not only harm Wikipedia's redistributability, but also create legal issues Borsoka (talk) 05:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
