Welcome edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 2601:249:9301:D570:E902:46B:D28:AC6A, made test edits on the page John Adolph of Nassau-Usingen which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to perform. If 2601:249:9301:D570:E902:46B:D28:AC6A is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I recommend that you get a username. You do not have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit the Teahouse, our help forum for new users, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! –DMartin 07:36, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Monarchs edit

I see you are adding a lot of categories sons/daughters of monarchs to people who are not such. Monarch means sovereign. German counts, dukes, etc. didn't become sovereign until the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. So, all the nobles before that date cannot be sons/daughters of monarchs.

It seems Non-sovereign monarchy is a thing. 2601:249:9301:D570:E902:46B:D28:AC6A (talk) 15:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that's correct. For the German nobles following the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Not before that. Until then only the Holy Roman Emperor was the monarch. Roelof Hendrickx (talk) 15:51, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

January 2023 edit

Please stop adding those categories where the parent was not a monarch! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:09, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
