League of Mercy[edit]

Please note that "charitable foundation", "royal charter", are not proper nouns and should use sentence case. Your change of the link to Sir Robert Balchin, Baron Lingfield is a wp:red link and does not link to an article. It needs to be Robert Balchin, Baron Lingfield. You could wp:pipe the link. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 09:44, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adakiko, thank you for your attention, I am very new to this. Yes, I shall correct the link.

Re Royal Charter, please see https://privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/royal-charters/ In British English anything officially Royal is capitalised. Charter is also capitalised.

The title Prince, as in Prince of Wales is also capitalised. Please see https://www.royal.uk/the-prince-of-wales

Can I please go back and correct these, I shall also put in the correct link for Lord Balchin.

I have quite a few edits/corrections to make, so please excuse my naivety.

Indeed, can I ask you for your thoughts on some items I think should be changed?

Best

Multiple accounts, and conflicts of interest.[edit]

Wikipedia does not usually allow users to use two different accounts. It's fairly clear that this account is also operated by you. I have blocked that account; please stick to using this one in the future. Please read WP:SOCK for further information on the relevant policies.

Also, please read our policy on conflicts of interest. According to your userpage, you may have a conflict of interest on pages you have edited; you would need to declare your conflict of interest on your userpage. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:40, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
