[edit] UNMIK

You're an experienced user and maybe don't need this, but anyway. I mostly agree with your edits on UNMIK, but could you in future, when switching places of paragraphs and sections, switch them in one edit, and then edit them in another edit? This is because when switching places diffs could hardly be seen, and this could be frustrating, especially if an article could be expected to be a target of POVing.

[edit] Ituri image

It's been a long time since I've been as happy to see an image as I was to see Image:Région Ituri République démocratique du Congo.png. I've already put it on four other articles. Thanks for making it. Cheers, BanyanTree 00:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kurów

Could you please write a stub http://kw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kur%C3%B3w - just a few sentences based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kur%C3%B3w ? Only 2 -5 sentences enough. Please. Pietras1988 ^TALK 10:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanx for excellent article. If on pl wiki isn't yet article about your city I can translating him from en wiki. Pietras1988 ^TALK 08:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quebec

Hi QuartierLatin, Just as a matter of interest, what's your basic stance on the issue of Quebec independance? Are you for it or against it? (I'm honestly not looking to get into an argument - just interested!) Brian 12:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Obviously the question is very complex. Québec is a nation, and independence is an option that belongs to it by right. On the other hand, I think it would be unwise for the Québécois to try to establish an independent state on the basis of a 51% yes vote. The real contest will be for the allegiance of the enfants du loi 101 – once they can be won to the notion that Québec, not Canada, is their nation, then the battle's won. For selfish reasons, I also like Québec in Confederation because they're a good example to the rest of the country. Canada has built its unique social model in part thanks to the influence of Québec labour unions, student groups, feminists, and so on. (In the event of sovereignty, I do think that Nunavik and perhaps James Bay should have the option of becoming a new Canadian territory, should they so desire.) But to answer your question more directly, if I were a Québécois and I were voting in the next referendum on sovereignty, I would vote yes. QuartierLatin1968 16:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll admit for reasons that will become clear that my question was a slightly loaded one, although I have to absolutely stress that I'm not looking to get into a debate, and nomatter what your answer to this second question may be, I'll not respond in anyway other than to thank you for answering! - I just want to give food for thought, as is the nature of encyclopedias! I noticed on your Userpage that you say you're an Irish Republican. If Quebec is distinct from the rest of Canada and therefore a plausible candidate for independence, why would you want to lump Northern Ireland (with its own distinct culture and history) in with the Republic of Ireland? Would you not prefer to advocate self-determination rather than Republicanism? Brian 18:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Aha! All becomes clear. :-) You're right, Northern Ireland (and in particular, the northeast of Ireland) is culturally quite different from the South. Indeed, I can see an argument for believing the "British" community of Northern Ireland to be a distinct 'Protestant Irish nation'. But remember that if there is a 'Protestant Irish nation', these are nations living side by side, in every county and town of Northern Ireland. You cannot separate them; no line of partition would satisfy. The current border's a mess: why is Derry cut off from Donegal, a clear part of its natural hinterland? why is Newry in NI? why are Monaghan and Armagh in different countries? But you can't split the difference either; the result would be equally vexing.

So there's an overarching need for Orange/Green reconciliation, first and foremost. You cannot build a United Ireland on the basis of support from only one community, any more than it has been possible to build a United Kingdom on the basis of only one community. This is why the Good Friday Agreement is essential: it creates a different dynamic from the "either Dublin or London" mentality and challenges people of both communities to imagine themselves with common institutions and symbols. And this is why the process has stalled: faced with that challenge, both Unionists and Republicans have balked, held back, delayed, tried to hang on to their old fiefs and shibboleths. But that process must go on, sacred cows notwithstanding, because the Union won't work without reconciliation and neither will a United Ireland.

There's also the fact tacitly admitted by everybody, at least in unguarded moments, that the 'Protestant Irish nation' or (as it self-identifies) the British community is rooted in Ireland. This is what's unique and special about the Ulster British: their roots are in Scotland and England but they've developed their own definite community characteristics on the soil of Ireland. And as an outsider looking in (I'm a North American of [Northern] Irish descent), it amazes me how much is strikingly similar about both sides – how much is Irish, if you like, in the British community; how much is Scottish in the local Irish community, and so on. Tim Collins makes a similar point about the experience of Irish soldiers (from North and South) serving together overseas.

I don't get that feeling much about Québec. You can't set foot in that country without feeling yourself to be in a very different place from English Canada – a nation all its own. Its literature, cinema, cuisine, music – everything is just so distinct. I love it, but it's not mine. As Duceppe always says of Québec, ni supérieur ni inférieur mais différent. It's a different scenario from Ireland.

So I do support the principle of consent, as do practically all Irish Republicans nowadays. Cross-community reconciliation is the sine qua non – but at the end of the day, I think that people across the island will recognize that more unites them than divides them. (But I also think Ireland has much more in common with Scotland, and other parts of Britain, than is typically admitted in nationalist circles.) QuartierLatin1968 18:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Well I have to say that I am definately impressed! For someone not from the province you certainly have a clear grasp of the situation here. I really appreciate your taking the time to answer, and so thoroughly too! Just one point of clarification I would make, though! The vast majority (myself being in the minority) of the Protestants that I know would not classify themselves as Irish because they identify that word with Irish Republicanism and ofcourse the Republic of Ireland. Even the term Northern Irish isn't often heard, which means that most people simply identify themselves as British. (Even the logical halfway house British Irish doesn't get heard!) I wonder what they'd call themselves if the United Kingdom were to dissolve?! Anyway, cheers for that input, dude! Slán leat, Brian 19:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks, man! It's great to have confirmation from somebody that I'm not totally off my nut! :-) Well, what can I say, I listen to Talk Back. Thank heaven for the BBC in bringing the world together! (You know, your government ought to tax us foreigners; they're providing a brilliant service to us for free.) But yeah – thanks for listening to my thoughts with patience and an open mind. QuartierLatin1968 21:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC) (I wonder if Hiberno-British would ever catch on? Britanno-Ultonian?)

[edit] Constitutional staus

God no - that's why I put it up. If I was going to clean it up, then I would just get on with it. If you think the article's OK, then remove the tag - that article just seemed more like an essay than an encyclopaedia article to me. --Latinus (talk (el:)) 20:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revolutionary Voting

Bonjour Q, I've given my vote for what it's worth. I just hope there's enough traffic to that article to warrant this quarrel! On a different note, do athiests say adieu?! Brian 22:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Brian, thanks for voting! Haha, do I come off as too emotional about this? Isn't it funny how Wikipedia brings out the petty side in all of us? What happened was, I moved this page to Prachanda after giving it some thought, and about an instant later TJive reverts me. And I think to myself, what on earth is going on here? So we argue on each other's talk pages for awhile and I end up giving up in the name of keeping the peace. I wouldn't have revisited the matter if this other guy, DanielM hadn't come along saying he agreed with what had been my position. But it's true, more effort has been expended in thinking about where this article should be, than what should go in it. Sad, sad. QuartierLatin1968 22:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC) PS: Adieu is but the tip of the iceberg. Our own "goodbye" is supposed to come from "God be wi' ye". So God can't really be purged from ordinary conversation.

Why supposedly?! It's derived from "God by ye" (with the meaning of, as you rightly say, God be with you). And the Irish for "hello" is día duit (pronounced "jee-a ditch"), which means "God to you", so it looks like He's really got a monopoly in the greetings business! Brian 22:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hebrides map

Hello Quartier and thank you for the star! Some users here have actually not been afraid to say how dreadful my maps are; so it's nice to have some recognition. Thanks!

[edit] Heart Sutra

Check out the devanagari on Heart Sutra. Is that what you wanted? deeptrivia (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Bonjour!!! Hey, I was just reading the Heart Sutra page, I believe there's something wrong with the transliteration of this sentence:

पारसंगते Pārasamgate [pɑːɾəsəm gəteː] Completely gone beyond

If I recall my sanskrit classes correctly, the anusvāra over letter "sa" is not supposed to be pronounced as a full "m", but rather as a nasalized one, much in the way the "n" is pronounced in French "painture". So, in Latin script that "m" should have a dot over it to show it is a "cerebral" consonant, and in IPA I've seen examples when this kind of sounds are written with a tilde: ã

Au revoir! (addendum: sorry, forgot to sing :) TrollDeBatalla )

You could be right. But in Hindi, at least, the nasal vowel is indicated with a candrabindu, not an anusvāra. If you're right about the Sanskrit, though, the IPA would indeed be ə̃. QuartierLatin1968 16:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celtic Europe

I sure know the criterion of the Celtic League, etc. but it does not just satisfy many people in Europe :) Can you please bother yourself to make a brief research about the Celticity claim of Friuli. I thought the user who produced those dreadful maps was a Friulian Celtophile but he came out to be Dutch. On the other hand, there is a related discussion on the article Europe. Perhaps you may get interested. Best Regards...Behemoth 00:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Burnt Church First Nation site

Thank you for your initial work on the entry for Burnt Church First Nation! I go out there frequently and even look forward to living out that way soon. I was wondering if you would mind if I returned your reference to Burnt Church being near New Jersey as opposed to your Neguac reference - New Jersey is more correct, actually. I would like to add much to the site and feel I could be a real help there. I would even employ some of my friends there to make sure I get things right. I have made much use of Wikipedia and now I guess I have a place to give back some. Obviously, I am a newbie to boot, so thank you for your patience with my inquiry. -- Esgenoopetitj 05:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Maritimes

C'est bon! We'll have to stay in touch. God willing I'll be living out there someday soon. 'Tis a different land on the bluffs of the Miramichi Bay and I have seen pics from my Aunt that Nova Scotia seems to be similar in geography. But man! do I love it out there! I'm here in Michigan-land, 700+ ft. above sea level on the freshwater Great Lakes. There is something different about sea level and salt water! (I was brought up in Aylmer, Ontario and my father's family is from Searchmont, Ontario and "the Soo" - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, hence, this Canadian connection.) Do you have an interest in First Nations people? Or how did you start out to setting up the Maritime First Nations lists?

And thanks for the idea of how to sign my talk edits (I'll have to work out the form yet). I'll keep learning, and be a good Wikipedian! I won't mind critique and tutorial along the way. Merci !!! -- Esgenoopetitj 17:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Native Cornish

yes it is for me. i still feel that you are applying an excessively limited concept of the term "native" (reradless of whether it afects Ken George or not, which, I believe, is neither here nor there). you seem to assume that "nativeness" is based on where a person happens to be born, part of the ius solis tradition. other criteria also exist in law, however, such as ius sanguis, so that, for example, third generation galizans are considered galizan to all efects and purposes by the administration whether or not either they, or indeed eitheir of their parents, were actually born in galiza (as is the case, in fact, for several hundred thoudans of people). may i also suggest that, for example, someone born in india but who has spent all of their life, or the best part of it, living and working in cornall and especially for the advancement of cornall would certainly, to my mind at least, be worthy of the title "native of cornwall". this is rather an open concept and need not be applied based on the narrowest interpretaion available, ie. where someone happens to be born. if that needs to be done, ie. sorting poeple based on their place of birth, may i suggest changing the name of the category to the rather simpler and less controversial "people born in cornwall"? Neal [1]

[edit] from talk:Celtic nations

It's a pity you endorse split infinitives and preposition endings in sentences though :( My biggest bother (besides the Americanisation of the New Zealand dialect and accent) is the use of the singular to reflect plural, such as "there's lots of cats". What's 'heteroflexible'? Enzedbrit 07:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Enzedbrit, that last seems to me to be totally unrelated to the issue. But if you think those are problems, reword them so that they're more pleasing to you. However, QuartierLatin's grammatical preferences are of no relevance to the validity of his edits...especially comments about his user page. Those are best kept to his user talk page. That criticism aside, I'm glad we were able to resolve the map issue for now. Way to go, Quartier. -GlamdringCookies 18:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

For the record, no offence was taken; although I agree, these comments probably are more at home here on my talk page than on talk:Celtic nations. QuartierLatin1968 03:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why POV? (Keltik)

Because to use reclaimed assumes that it was faithfully reacreating something that had before existed. That may be what they thought they were doing but it is arguable that it was not reclamation but invention.

Hi, you contribute very well to Wikipedia. But as I was looking for a Gaulish God named Ivaros (Ivaos), I didn't find him. I'd like to have some information about him, where can I search? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bmarnice (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Respect

Hey QuartierLatin, I just wanted to say that I love all the work you've been doing on the Celtic nations page and perhaps (I forget, they blur together in my memory of my watchlist) Modern Celts too. Just wanted to request, though, that you are a little more respectful to people's submissions. For example, today there was the post that you essentially reverted (appropriately, for sure) and cited some of its content as "rubbish". While respect isn't on the rules for talk pages, being polite is included in the etiquette page. I repeat, I have never disagreed with your altering of the Celtic nations page, but it would be great if you could be just a bit more respectful. I'm sure that you assume good faith, but just keep in mind that being too harsh with people's submissions can hurt their feelings (even if they are unregistered). Keep up the wonderful editing, -GlamdringCookies 21:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] signature

Would you consider removing the flag image from your signature? The signature guideline is strongly against it, as being distracting, vulnerable to vandalism, and an unnecessary load on the servers. Of course there's no reason to go back and re-edit old talk pages, but if you would consider going forth with a streamlined signature, I'm sure many would appreciate it, including myself. -- nae'blis _(talk) 01:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image on Template:BrazImpFam

Hi. Images on such templates are really better off reduced. They are not the "stars" of the template. Did you notice that the resizing you did is throwing off the title of the template? It's not centralized and unevenly distributed in the header. I settled on 25px because (a) it doesn't disturb the template's title, and (b) it is a [deliberately] minimal size that will maintain the image visible enough, but without causing those problems I mentioned in my previous edit. I'm no genius in wiki code, but I figure we can only keep the new size if the problem with it throwing off the header can be solved somehow. If you can do that, ok, but if not, we'll have to go back to the previous size, since, as I said, images are really secondary in the template, and we can only use them if, and to the extension where, they don't disturb the template itself (layout included).
Furthermore, I noticed you replaced the image. As far as I can tell, it seems to be the exact same image only in PNG format. But in case I missed something, and the images are not exactly the same, the previous one was a result of a debate about the historical accuracy of the image to be in the template, since the image that used to be there wasn't completely accurate regarding the colors used in the Royal Family's crest. Regards, Redux 02:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

It's no problem at all. We are all working to improve the project. Your adaptation seems to work. It's not really important which side of the template the image is on. And you are in fact right about the PNG format being preferred over JPG. As I said, we would only go back to the previous format if the PNG image were not identical to the JPG file, due to the historical accuracy issue. I squinted some, and it seems that the images are identical, which would mean that the PNG image should stay. Perhaps you can confirm my "diagnosis", by comparing the two images. As a matter of fact, I will delete the JPG file from our servers for being a duplicate file of the [preferred] PNG image, but I'd like to be completely positive about that, since image deletion is the one Administrative action that is not reversible through the software (someone would need to re-upload the image if we were to need it again for any reason). Cheers, Redux 17:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Lamiae

firstly, let me say that you're right to question the source of that. after writing it, to be fair, i started questioning it, since it wasn't so glossed by Romans, but by Irish monks commenting on Latin texts.

the very first instance of the word "morrigan" in an Irish text is in "manuscript Regina No. 215 in a gloss of Isaiah 34.14, a passage which recounts the desolation of Edom. Lamia is there glossed monstrum in femine figura .i. morigain ‘monster in female form, that is, a morrígan’ (Stokes and Strachan 1901: I.2.6). The codex was written in 876 or 877 A.D.." (as cited in Angelique Gulermovich Epstein, War Goddess electronic edition (1998), Chapter One "The Morrígan in Mythological Tradition", page 2). Epstein goes on to document a number of other instances in which "Lamia" or "Lamiae" is glossed as "Morrígan" or vice versa.

also, apparently i forgot to include the signature, so i'll do that now: Whateley23 11:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rum

• Not neccessarily, Rumelia is a geographical and historical region, Rum province was an administrative region of the ottoman empire whereas Rum refers to a (more or less) ethnic connotation.. Over the centuries Rum was used to mean peoples of the ancient Byzantine Empire (particularly for Greeks). The ottoman sultan who conquered constantinople titled himself Kaiser-i Rum, meaning the ceasar of the romans..

[edit] History of Shaivism to History of Saivism

This is a naive question to be sure because I have little knowledge of the subject, but shouldn't "History of Shaivism" be changed to "History of Saivism" because "saivism" is used throughout the article? Outlook 14:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re Shaivism vs. Saivism

Thanks for your response. I understand. My interest is consistency. Again from a naive viewpoint regarding the subject, wouldn't it be more consistent then to spell all instances of "Saivism" as "Shaivism" in view that most readers—I assume, always dangerous to do—can't view the accent?

Hi! I noticed you made some changes to the Arabs in Turkey article, specifically the part where you changed "Alevi" to "ʿAlawis". I wasn't sure whether the original article was referring to the Alevi or Alawite, as they're different religious groups. Perhaps you know which one? Thanks in advance. —Khoikhoi 23:42, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

No, I agree with you now, we shouldn't mention any other alternate spellings in the article because it would only confuse readers. Thanks for the explanation. —Khoikhoi 04:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

BTW, can you please add the names for the following towns in the Arabic script: Samandağ (Suwaidiyyah), Altınözü (Qusair) and Reyhanlı (Rihaniyyah). Thanks. —Khoikhoi 04:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Alright, thanks anyways. —Khoikhoi 01:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template talk:Celtic mythology

I posted this at the above, but got no responses. In case you or others are not watching that page:

If this template is about Celtic religion now (used to by Celtic Mythology), and we have a category for *ancient* Celtic religion, might it make sense to include a *brief* section on modern Celtic religion? I'd suggest listing Celtic Reconstructionism and possibly modern versions of Celtic Christianity (but I think there have been some conflicts over those articles). However, I think it would only work to include modern religion if it can be kept pretty strictly limited and not include any of the non-Celtic traditions that mistakenly get called "Celtic". Otherwise, it might make sense to change the template back to mythology. Thoughts? --Kathryn NicDhàna 22:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World Cattle Population

I know this is a bit out-of-date now, but I just noticed your request for figures at Talk:Cattle#Cattle population, and thought I would share these data: the FAOSTAT[2] world profile gives 1,529,110,000 for Cattle and Buffaloes; other pages of interest are http://dahd.nic.in/stat_files/table_26.htm (1993-2003 statistics for various animals), http://cattle-today.com (estimates 1.3 billion and gives some info on geographic distribution).
