Article Revision

Regarding your revision to the article on the Highland Clearances: I would appreciate it if you negate what I said with a source. I can understand it is a delicate issue for some people, yet it remains in the written record and I was as fair about this in my wording as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.7.13 (talk) 15:31, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hunnic language

So I spend hours of researching about the Hunnic language, I edit the Hunnic language page TO ADD to Wikipedia, and you come and tear it down, what is wrong with you? I cited my sources, and I abided by Wikipedia's policy, why do you want to wreck hours of my work? Please tell me what I was doing wrong. You could have at least come to me and told me you didn't like it before ruining my work... you said in your user page you revert vandalism, THIS IS NOT VANDALISM IT IS A HUGE CONTRIBUTION TO WIKIPEDIA. Sorry for the cap spam.

This conversation will be more appropriate on the relevant talk page. Richard Keatinge (talk) 19:26, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Liu Fei, Prince of Jiangdu

On 7 September 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Liu Fei, Prince of Jiangdu, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 2,100-year-old mausoleum of the King of Jiangdu contained a kitchen with food, 100,000 coins, and the only undamaged jade coffin in China? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Liu Fei, Prince of Jiangdu. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for September 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bradshaw rock paintings, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages San and Sandawe. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It is more than 1 historian, Attila appearance confirm by Mongoloid Denis Sinor

World leading historian of Central Asia Denis Sinor also claimed his appearance was Mongoloid. Please do not write only 1, as there are few more Hungarian I know

The Cambridge History of Early Inner Asia, Volume 1 edited by Denis Sinor

This is what he said:

'"The eye-witness description of Attila given by priscus is that of a Mongoloid "'

The description of Huns given by the Romans has prompted historians to believe they were of East Asian origin. Denis Sinor, noting the paucity of anthropological evidence, wrote that:

"there is no reason to question the basic accuracy of the western descriptions, and the absence of massive supporting evidence by physical anthropology cannot weaken the point they so tellingly make. It is the unusual that most attracts attention.
