Hi @Векочел, if you're not going to continue reviewing the article "Government of the Ming dynasty" anymore, I suggest you mark it as failed.Min968 (talk)19:31, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Positions, offices, and occupational titles says use capitals "When referring to an office or title itself, (as King of France); is not plural (Kings of France); is not preceded by a modifier (including a definite or indefinite article) (the King of France, former King of France), and is not a reworded description (Head of Government of France)." You don't appear to be following this atEleanor of Aquitaine. Your changes include changing offices and titles to lower case (such as Queen of France to queen of France) and changing plurals from lower case to upper case (such as counts and kings to Counts and Kings). The guidelines says upper case should be used for titles and lower case should be used for plurals, not the other way around.Celia Homeford (talk)14:10, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you foryour contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits toRaynald of Châtillon when you modified the page, you introducedunknown parameters. Just because you specify|some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The|some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use thepreview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is aShow preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact thehelp desk for assistance.Thank you.Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing})17:44, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
