Template:Infobox peerage title has been nominated for merging with Template:Infobox family. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you.

On 30 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hathumoda, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an attempt to portray Abbess Hathumoda as a Christian saint after her death failed because everyone knew that she could be quite petulant? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hathumoda. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hathumoda), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Hi, in this edit to Guy of Lusignan you introduced an sfn reference {{sfn|Bennett|2021|p=106}}. Unfortunately no work "Bennett 2021" is listed, so nobody can look the reference up, and the article is added to Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. If you could supply the missing source it would be appreciated. DuncanHill (talk) 22:01, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Thanks. Surtsicna (talk) 22:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article Maria Komnene, Queen of Jerusalem you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Maria Komnene, Queen of Jerusalem and Talk:Maria Komnene, Queen of Jerusalem/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi Surtsicna, hope you're doing well. With regard to this page, I really doubt a regular citizen such as hers could go without a surname. Heck we have surnames attached to the pages we have on figures such as Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. Do you think that she was simply using Hamilton as a surname or is her situation similar to that of Elizabeth Longford? Keivan.f^Talk 21:10, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Keivan.f. I have no doubt that she had a surname throughout her life. I would just prefer not to speculate on what that surname was. All we know from reliable sources is that it was Robertson up until some point in her life. None of the sources cited in the article, and indeed none I can find online, mention Douglas-Hamilton as her surname at any point in her life. Besides, the policy is to use the most common name. "Jill Douglas-Hamilton, Duchess of Hamilton" is used literally nowhere. Surtsicna (talk) 21:22, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not advocating for that title. If it's not used anywhere then it's not to be used here either. But it just seems unlikely that she was 'surnameless'. Which is why I asked to see if she was commonly known as "Jill Hamilton" (kinda like Elizabeth Longford); The Guardian has her listed as Jill Hamilton by the way. In any case, I'm sure you have done your research with this topic. Cheers. Keivan.f^Talk 00:34, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 1 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Amalric of Nesle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Patriarch Amalric was, according to the archbishop of Tyre, "reasonably well educated but bereft of intelligence and virtually useless"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Amalric of Nesle. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Amalric of Nesle), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Thank you for cutting out some of the minor offices from this infobox. Your rationale, that offices were not mentioned anywhere in the text, is valid, and as I look at other articles about U.S. presidents, I will be keeping that in mind!

BTW I chuckled at "behemothous", but if you needed a more conventional word, "bloated" might not be bad. Bruce leverett (talk) 01:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, thanks, Bruce. Unconventional sizes inspire unconventional words! Surtsicna (talk) 09:26, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
