[edit] Latin

What was the Latin project you asked user:Jowfair about? --Iustinus 00:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Um... you're welcome, but I'm not entirely sure how I've helped you. --Iustinus 20:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I was more curious than anything. I would certainly be willing to help you, if I can find the time. I did take a quick look at the page, and noticed only minor errors... nitpicks even. If I get a chance I'll correct some.

Oh, and btw, my screenname starts with an i not an l... it has nothing to do with lust :P --Iustinus 18:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your welcome to the Latin wikipedia, what don't you understand about "these things"? --Iustinus 22:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not mad, I'm just not sure what you mean. --Iustinus 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I understood that. It's just that you said "But maybe you didn't realize, i don't know how these things work :)", and I wasn't sure what that meant. I mean, if there's a specific problem, there's a chance I would be able to help ;) --Iustinus 19:51, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

No no, I knew who you were. I don't think that's any reason not to send the welcome. More to the point, I only just made that welcome template a few days ago, so I'm eager to use it whenever possible ;) --Iustinus 16:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been getting increasingly busy lately and probably shouldn't be wasting so much time on wikipedia to begin with. I should take a look at your lunae maria page one of these days, though, like I said I would. --Iustinus 17:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My apologies

Sorry if my quick use of the copyedit tag on Latina (Madrid) was offensive. I thought the article would have benefited from it, and somehow didn't realize you were still editing. –Mysid^(t) 10:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ladino

Hola Gaudio,

(usted prefiere hablar en ingles o español? Puedo hablar en los dos) No estoy seguro de la repuesta a su pregunta, porque tengo ninguna experiencia con la lengua en situaciones actuales donde tendria que pensar de las formas diferentes de la segunda persona para usar. Sin embargo, creo que no hay diferencias entre el useo de la segunda persona en Ladino y Español. Tambien el 'babel template' de Ladino en mi Wiki no funciona correctamente, asi mi conocimiento realmente es mas cerca de nivel dos de la lengua :P. Saludos, Hauser 12:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh ok, thank you for the clarification. Now, from what I've seen (which admittedly isn't a LOT of Ladino), 'usted' is not used at all. Tu/vozótros is the pretty much standard way of referencing each other: I think part of this could be due to the fact that Ladino speakers are a close group and don't really traditionally use the same polite forms. Vos only occurs in the accusative case from what I have seen. Hope that is of some help! Hauser 14:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, plus I think a lot of the time the passive 'se' form is used as well when being polite. It's possible there is a way of doing it that I've never heard, so I'll ask someone next time I see a Ladino speaker on the Ladino Yahoo Group. About the Chinese, that's good to hear (and yes I agree it's very hard!). What operating system do you use? The best way of turning pinyin into chinese characters is using the built in language thing, but si estas usando Linux o otras sistemas, tienes que obtener una programa como 'NJ star' (http://www.njstar.com hay ediciones gratis en la red ;D). Saludos! Hauser 01:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Pues 'Windows' es la sistema de ordenadores (Podria llamarse 'Ventanas' en Español) http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows es la pagina de lo en Wiki. Tienes un CD de 'Windows'? Si tienes, puedes usarlo para escribir palabras chinas por el ordenador. Gracias, Hauser 12:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seamus Heaney

So i can classify Seamus Heaney in: writers in English, writers in Irish and writers in Anglo-Saxon, right?

That is correct.--Play Brian Moore 01:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem.--Play Brian Moore 00:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ayuda con los artículos sobre España

Hola, Gaudio, soy Garcilaso. Estoy echándole un vistazo a los artículos relativos a la cultura y el arte españoles, y me he encontrado con que hay lagunas muuuuuy grandes en esta enciclopedia, que no hacen justicia en absoluto a nuestra historia. Me he metido enWikipedia:WikiProject Spain, pero tiene muy pocos miembros (5), y no está muy activo. Te pido tu colaboración para arreglar un poco el artículo Spanish poetry, que da pena verlo. Mi nivel de inglés es relativamente bueno, pero cuando uno escribe en serio es cuando se da cuenta de las carencias gramaticales... En general la situación está muy mal. Si bien hay unos cuantos escritores españoles con artículo propio, hay carencias, sobre todo en los artículos generales: Spanish poetry, Spanish Literature, Spanish Renaissance... He visto que estás escribiendo artículos sobre poetas, actores...Creo que es bueno coordinarse un poco, así que te animo a apuntarte al wikiproyecto. Un saludo, --Garcilaso 15:01, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Gracias por tu contestación. Efectivamente la Wikipedia en inglés es la "madre de todas las wikipedias", y se puede encontrar información a veces más amplia que en las específicas. Es por eso que es importante rellenar los huecos sobre nuestra cultura, porque si no, para un gran número de gente que consulte, ni siquiera se enterará de que existe. Como bien dices, los escritores están bastante bien cubiertos aquí. Pero, por ejemplo, échale un vistazo a Castile y alucina. La confusión de términos, y las colaboraciones mal documentadas hacen que no sea un caso aislado. Según el artículo, hoy día Castilla se divide en Castilla la Nueva y Castilla la Vieja, y luce frases como "Castilians are known as the inhabitants of those regions of Spain where there is no regional identity which conflicts with that of "Castilian". "Castilian identity is now defined negatively rather than positively", y se mete en emobados como poco discutibles, como que los extremeños del norte son castellanos y los del sur andaluces... sin mencionar nada de la cultura catellana. Este artículo es sólo un ejemplo (aunque bastante gordo) de lo que pasa en general con los temas españoles en esta enciclopedia, y supongo que se debe a lo que dices, a que los hispanoparlantes somos algo reacios a traducir textos. Yo mismo me he limitado a completar listas en varios artículos y a escribir algunos párrafos en artículos como Baroque, Baroque architecture, Romanesque architecture, Renaissance architecture y otros del estilo, pero mi capacidad es limitada. No creo que se trate de suplir todas las carencias y escribir artículos memorables, sino de rellenar mínimamente todos los vacíos clamorosos. Respecto a Spanish poetry, con que eches un vistazo sobre todo a los del último siglo e incorpores los que nombres creas conveniente creo que sería más que suficiente. Claro que el artículo daría para escribir un libro, pero poco a poco, ¿no? :-) Agradezco tu apoyo, y considero admirable la cantidad de artículos que llevas escrito sobre el tema. Un saludo, y hasta la vista. --Garcilaso 10:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of {{stub}} is no longer recommended

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! -- Where 03:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Estefan vs. Estéfan

Regarding your edit to the article Gloria Estéfan, please do not replace articles with blank content as this is considered vandalism. It looks like you wanted to create a redirect instead. Cheers. --P e ruvianLlama^(spit) 20:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The best way of dealing with an incorrect (yet still popular) spelling is to create a redirect to the correctly spelled article. So Gloria Estéfan should redirect to Gloria Estefan. And if it were a popular misconception of how Gloria's name were spelled, or even a popular typo, we could have Gloria Estephan redirect to Gloria Estefan as well. Redirects are cheap, and if it helps even a few potential Wiki-readers find what they're looking for, then it's worth it. Cheers! --P e ruvianLlama^(spit) 07:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oscar de la Renta

This is the English Wikipedia, and Oscar uses the English spelling as the name space article was before your move to Óscar de la Renta, so I question this. Even his logo and signature do not use the form you have moved the article to. The redirect, it seems to me, should be the other way around. Comments? Doc 15:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I understand that you would be correct for Castillian usage, but the guideline for article titles on Wikipedia is the 'common' usage most prevalent and/or what the person uses. I have never seen him use this form personally or in business. As such, at most it should be an alternative in the article as the name origin, and a redirect from Óscar de la Renta to Oscar de la Renta for the rare person that might search for it that way. Consistent MoS here on the English Wikipedia would still, I believe, dictate that Oscar de la Renta should be the article title. Doc 23:07, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

As I have said before, I do not question the 'correct' if here were living in a country using Castillian, or perhaps even in the Spanish v. of Wikipedia. I am only stating was is correct by standard usage on the English Wikipedia. If he used the foreign form here that would make a significant difference, but he does not, as I have stated before. Thanks for your understanding. Doc 02:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Don't know that I really consider myself 'famous' but a friend thought I should be listed and started the entry based on what she knew and my user bio here and on Find A Grave. Yes, I've been in medical research, sleep research to be specific for almost forty years, but have always loved history and had used Wikipedia as a resource for several years. When a friend of mine was picked up from his obituary in the New York Times, here on Wikipedia, but didn't have an article yet, that started my contributing. Now I'm hooked!

While I understand that English is language based, not a national project, as I understand it one of the cornerstones of naming articles here is 'common usage' and/or what the person themselves use. On that basis, I did change the title back to Oscar de la Renta with the redirect from Óscar de la Renta, but I did leave the opening name in the article which should be the full name as Óscar de la Renta. I hope that this balance is acceptable to you.

For instance the title of Bill Clinton's article is not William Jefferson Clinton, it is Bill Clinton, which is the common usage. The opening line of the article has his full name and his name at birth. Does this make sense? Hope so, and good to dialogue with you. Doc 14:54, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Not sure that I understand quite what you mean to be something different. I try to check my spelling for clarity. If you would like to dialogue further, how about clicking the link to email me from my user page and we could discuss further. I'm also very interested as you contribute in Spanish and French, both of which I can read and understand some, but am not adequate to write clearly. There are several articles that I would like to see included in those languages. Thanks, Doc 18:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

When I click your 'Email this user' it says "This user has not specified a valid e-mail address, or has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users." That link on my user page should work, others have used it and when I tried it right now it links to the email form for me. Doc 20:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 's after z

I would recommend using "Lopez's" in all situations. Current usage in the case of names ending with s (such as my name: James) varies. Both James' and James's can be considered to be correct. Personally I have a strong preference for "James's". With names ending in z, where the pronunciation is /loupezis/ most speakers would write Lopez's, and that is what I'd recommend you do too. Zeimusu | Talk page 15:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accent marks

You've done several page moves to add accent marks to several people's names. Unless the person is commonly credited with an accent mark in their name, these changes are not correct. Above, Doc has already explained why you shouldn't do this, but you haven't stopped. So I am asking you now to please stop or you might be crossing into vandalism. It would be nice if you reverted your changes (i'll be reverting some anyway, but there are quite a few to do). Also, please read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). Thank you. Crumbsucker 10:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I understand that your intentions were not malicious, but we have to follow the naming standards on English Wikipedia. It's fine to create a redirect with the accents, but the formal article names have to follow the rules. Crumbsucker 11:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuation of page moves, vandalism warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Crumbsucker 12:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

None of it matters. Even if a person doesn't credit themselves with proper accentuation, we still have to go with it. I'm not an administrator, so i can't block you, only warn you. You may, however, be blocked by an administrator if you don't stop. So please stop because you will be reverted and warned. Crumbsucker 13:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Tell me what ones and i'll check them. Crumbsucker 10:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concha Buika

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Concha Buika may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. Jibbles | Talk 14:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

When I spotted the article it appeared to be covered by WP:NN as a non-notible artist. The criteria for speedy deletion is "an article about a real person, group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject", and I didn't believe that the article asserted any importance. I therefore nominated it for speedy deletion, but the admin who checked it disagreed and it wasn't deleted. Having looked deeper into the topic, I see I was mistaken. My apologies. Jibbles | Talk 15:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hola

Gracias por tu interes en el articulo sobre Dinio, algunos quieren quitar el articulo, quizas te gustaria trabajar un poco en el Gracias.
--Trade2tradewell 15:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting incorrect page moves is not vandelism

Neither is doing a page move that conforms to the MoS. Placing a false warning on someone's user talk page is vandelism, tho. Especially an unsigned one. You need to accept the fact that you are wrong and move along. Crumbsucker 00:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another warning for improper, uncited name changes

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Crumbsucker 12:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Il dolce suono

Hola Guadio, "Il dolce suono" no es exactamente la "aria", es el "recitativo". La "Scena della pazzia" es más larga y la "aria" empieza con las palabras "Ardon gl'incensi". De todos modos, puedes buscar más noticias en it.wiki: it:Scena della pazzia (Lucia di Lammermoor). Yo soy musicologo, así puedes fiarte ;-) Saludos --Al Pereira (talk) 11:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Categories and alphabetization I've had lots of issues with the alphabetization in categories. If you notice any others, please feel free to fix them as appropriate. I've since stopped alphabetizing Oriental names using Western conventions. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 16:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
