==The ''Younger'' Saxony: The Duchy and the Electorate==
[[File:Armoiries Saxe.svg|thumb|right|[[Coat of arms of Saxony]] used since the accession of the [[House of Ascania]] to the dukedom in 1180, comprising the Ascanian arms with an added bendwise [[crancelin]] indicating the Saxon ducal rank]]

The new dukes replaced the Saxon horse emblem ([[File:Coat of arms of Lower Saxony.svg|20px]]) and introduced their Ascanian family colours and emblem ([[File:Adalbert_I_Ballenstedt.png|20px]]) added by a bendwise crancelin, symbolising the Saxon ducal crown, as new coat-of-arms of Saxony ([[File:Armoiries Saxe.svg|20px]]). The later rulers of the [[House of Wettin]] adopted the Ascanian coat-of-arms.

The Ascanian Dynasty continued in Saxe-Lauenburg until 1689, but after the Lauenburg line had finally lost the Saxon Electorate to the Wittenberg line in 1356 and failed to obtain the succession in the Electorate after 1422, recognition of the Dukes of Saxe-Lauenburg as Dukes of Saxony waned. To follow the remnant House of Ascania in Saxe-Lauenburg, follow this table. For the following Electors of Saxony, see below the [[List of rulers of Saxony #House of Wettin|House of Wettin]].

| align="center" colspan=7 | In 1296 Albert II and his nephews Albert III, Eric I, and John II ended their joint rule and partitioned Saxony into the Lauenburg line, where Albert III, Eric I, and John II continued to rule jointly until 1303, and the Wittenberg line, where Albert II continued as sole ruler until 1298. Since the Duke of Saxony was considered one of the [[prince-elector]]s choosing a new [[Holy Roman Emperor]], conflict arose between the lines of Lauenburg and Wittenberg over the issue of who should cast Saxony's vote. In 1314 both lines found themselves on different sides in a double election. Eventually, the Dukes of Saxe-Wittenberg succeeded in 1356 after the promulgation of the [[Golden Bull of 1356|Golden Bull]]. To distinguish him from other rulers bearing the title Duke of Saxony, he was commonly called ''[[Electorate of Saxony|Elector of Saxony]]''.

The male line of Saxe-Lauenburg died out in 1689 with Julius Francis's death. The [[House of Welf|Welfs]] of [[Principality of Lüneburg|Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle]] usurped the territory, preventing the succession of the legitimate heiress, [[Anna Maria Franziska of Saxe-Lauenburg]]. In fact, [[George William, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg]] was a great-great-grandson of [[Magnus I, Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg|Magnus I]] through his great-grandmother [[Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg]]. In 1814, after being deposed by various occupations in the [[Napoleonic Wars]], [[George IV of the United Kingdom|Prince Regent George]] passed Saxe-Lauenburg to his cousin, [[Frederick VI of Denmark]], in a general territorial realignment at the [[Congress of Vienna]]. In 1865, after the [[Second Schleswig War]], the [[Treaty of Vienna (1864)|Treaty of Vienna]] handed Saxe-Lauenburg to [[William I of Prussia]], to whom the [[Estates of the Realm|Estates]] of Saxe-Lauenburg offered the ducal throne. Both duke and estates decided to merge Saxe-Lauenburg into Prussia, as the district [[Herzogtum Lauenburg|Duchy of Lauenburg]], with effect from 1 July 1876.

{{Electors of the Holy Roman Empire after 1356}}

===[[House of Wettin]]===
The Ascanian line of Saxe-Wittenberg became extinct with the death of Elector [[Albert III, Duke of Saxe-Wittenberg|Albert III]] in 1422, whereafter Emperor [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Sigismund]] bestowed the country and electoral dignity upon Margrave [[Frederick I, Elector of Saxony|Frederick IV of Meissen]], who had been a loyal supporter in the [[Hussite Wars]]. Late Albert's Ascanian relative Duke [[Eric V, Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg|Eric V of Saxe-Lauenburg]] protested in vain. Frederick, now one of the seven Prince-electors, was a member of the [[House of Wettin]], which since 1089 had ruled over the adjacent [[Margraviate of Meissen]] up the Elbe river, established under Emperor [[Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor|Otto I]] in 965, and since 1242 also over the Landgraviate of [[Thuringia]]. Thus, in 1423, Saxe-Wittenberg, the Margraviate of Meissen and Thuringia were [[personal union|united under one ruler]], and the unified territory .
gradually received the name of (Upper) Saxony (or simply '''Saxony''').

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]]. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]. Your recent edit to [[:2022 proposed Political Constitution of the Republic of Chile]] seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Bedivere|my talk page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-npov1 --> [[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|talk]]) 22:45, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

== Leamington Spa ==

According to the Ordnance Survey maps the street name is Parade, no definite article. [[User:Murgatroyd49|Murgatroyd49]] ([[User talk:Murgatroyd49|talk]]) 20:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
:And still, everybody in Leamington calls it "The Parade". Even if the article were not part of the name, in a sentence the article (in this case definitely lower case) has to be included. The article does this in each and every other occurence. Reverting the article back out in this one occurence is obviously wrong. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 21:46, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
::And your source for claiming that everybody in Leamington Spa calls it that is? the article should not be part of the link. [[User:Murgatroyd49|Murgatroyd49]] ([[User talk:Murgatroyd49|talk]]) 08:25, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

:::The fact that you lived there is not a reliable source. [[User:Murgatroyd49|Murgatroyd49]] ([[User talk:Murgatroyd49|talk]]) 21:57, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
::::Neither is your insistence that in one instance (and only one) the street must be named without the article. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 22:50, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

::::::You've supplied no source for your claim that in a sentence the (supposedly official) street name "Parade" should not be prefaced with an article.

:::::::I am not insisting that it should apply in only one instance. That is your interpretation.

On [[Traditionis custodes]]: please do not add claims from primary sources as if those were proven. [[User:Veverve|Veverve]] ([[User talk:Veverve|talk]]) 14:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
:I did not. You however reinserted the weasel word "claim". [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 14:24, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

== Matthias Erzberger  ==

Sorry for overdoing my revert when it came to the infobox. Your changes to his stint as minister without portfolio did have the correct info (although I had to make a change today to get the chancellors to display). But I am going to insist on President Friedrich Ebert - you're right that he wasn't minister president as the article originally said, but he was elected president by the National Assembly on 11 Feb 1919. Hope we're good now? [[User:GHStPaulMN|GHStPaulMN]] ([[User talk:GHStPaulMN|talk]]) 11:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
:When was Erzberger appointed chairman of the armistice commission? If after 11 Feb, then yes, it was under President Ebert. But it would be simultanously under Minister-President Scheidemann.
:My main point was that Ebert was never minister-president but served as Chancellor from the "abdication" of Wilhelm II until his own election as President. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 12:23, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

:I've been on Wikipedia for 19 years so your message here is insulting. Maybe you should heed your own advice. 
:You showed no reasoning behind your repeated reverting of my changes - and "unnecessary" is not a legitimate reasoning. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 16:12, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
::If you've been here 19 years you would know about: A) [[WP: BRD]], and B) not accusing someone of ownership just because they're undoing your edits. Unnecessary is legitimate, I can write "not an improvement" if you'd prefer but the same message is delivered. We also have a spoken version of the article on top of it being a Featured Article so changes should have a significant reasoning behind them. For example you moved content about casting of minor characters above main characters for no reason. That would not be an improvement. You keep saying that George was not spying on Lorraine despite him being outside her house peeping into a bedroom window and not being quite as pregnant as her mom, and changing the credit for Lorraine Baines McFly to Lorraine Baines/McFly, when noone uses a slash in a double surname, at least not in English. You can feel your edits were warranted and WP: BRD would tell you to take it to the talk page to discuss it and gain support, my opinion is they were negative for the article and so I restored it to it's agreed upon and supported version. That's not a reason to take it personally. EDIT: I can also see you've changed Lorraine's name on the character list to Lorraine Baines/McFly with a note saying she was never Baines McFly, and yet [https://www.backtothefuture.com/cast/lea-thompson the official site says she was].  [[User:Darkwarriorblake|Darkwarriorblake]] ([[User talk:Darkwarriorblake|talk]]) 16:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
:::"not an improvement" is even worse. It amounts to no reason. 
:::If you don't want to be accused of claiming OWNership, don't behave that way.
:::If it is really Lorraine, I am sure you can prove it.
:::The "double surname" doesn't exist. She is first called Baines, then McFly. The "official site" is no reliable source for that. Only the film is. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 16:48, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
:::: :/ I thought that would be the end of it but you're still claiming it's ownership to disagree with you and challenging me to prove things in the film. I think our discussion is at an end, use the film's talk page to solicit further input, I have no wish to interact with you further with that attitude. [[User:Darkwarriorblake|Darkwarriorblake]] ([[User talk:Darkwarriorblake|talk]]) 17:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
:::::It is ownership to blanket revert any changes to an article even though can only claim that they are "unnecessary" or "not an improvement". [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 17:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Winkler: "Überdies wurde Deutschland seit dem 3. Oktober 1918 de facto und seit dem 28. Oktober de jure parlamentarisch regiert." 

I'll leave it here and let you decide if de jure is an "empty" phrase. (Your last update is grammatically incorrect and needs to be changed anyway.) [[User:GHStPaulMN|GHStPaulMN]] ([[User talk:GHStPaulMN|talk]]) 11:21, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

== [[Sonya Deville]] ==

If you want to replace "gay" with "lesbian", then cite new sources. The current citations just use gay. There is nothing such as lesbian there.[https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/wwe-superstar-sonya-deville-lesbian-lgbt-interview/][https://www.si.com/wrestling/2019/09/18/wwe-news-sonya-deville-lgbt-adam-cole-nxt]: ''said Deville—who is Daria Berenato, the first openly '''gay female''' wrestler in WWE history...'' --[[User:Mann Mann|Mann Mann]] ([[User talk:Mann Mann|talk]]) 20:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
:By definition, a homosexual woman is called lesbian, a homosexual man is called gay. Citations misusing these terms is no reason for WP to follow suite. Also, the consensus on the talk page favours "lesbian". [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] [[User talk:Str1977|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 20:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
