Happy holidays to you as well! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:58, 28 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks, but shouldn't Chinese Tartary be mentioned? Doug Weller talk 13:47, 29 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi @Doug Weller, please contextualize your question better. What are you asking me about Chinese Tartary? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Perhaps I should have said Tartarian Empire. Before you edited it, the lead said ", as well as areas in present Mongolia, China, and the Russian Far East in "Chinese Tartary"- which was wikilinked. I can't see any justification for removing it.. Doug Weller talk 10:56, 30 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Doug Weller, right, I see what you mean now. Chinese Tartary seems to be an archaic geographic term, and in the context where it was used, "and the Russian Far East in "Chinese Tartary", it didn't make sense to me. Do you think it contributes anything of value to the sentence, or the context? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:57, 30 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

On further reflection, I would say it belongs as a see also. Doug Weller talk 15:27, 30 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Doug Weller, I'm not sure it's all that relevant to the topic, but I won't object if you decide to add it to See also. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I think I will. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 16:09, 30 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Added it as "Chinese Tartary, an archaic geographical term" Doug Weller talk 16:12, 30 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi David - I see we both made changes to this article today. I just wanted to check that you intended to add a tag to the Early Life & Education section that it "may be too technical for most readers to understand". It seems very straightforward to me, so I wanted to check with you.

Hi @Blackballnz, thanks for checking. I added the tag intentionally, as I found the terms "open exhibition" and "first-class degree" to be unclear to most readers without a British background. I suppose I could have tagged them individually though. Instead, would you be able to clarify them in the section? Cheers! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 08:29, 1 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks Revirvlkodlaku, I'll have a look and see if I can make these clearer. Blackballnz (talk) 22:27, 1 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi - I've added a link from first class degree to the British undergraduate degree page article. I've also changed 'open exhibition' to 'place'. Open exhibition seems quite complicated to explain. I'll take the tag off now & I think the article is better than it was a couple of days ago. Blackballnz (talk) 08:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Blackballnz, that's perfect, cheers! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:11, 2 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
