[edit] Reply on Otten

Actually, his name is Heinrich Otten and he is a German scholar who has worked much with Hittite sites. Yes, I´ve been writing and editing a few articles about ANE sites. Strange enough, my article about Ortaköy/Shapinuwa seems to have vanished, so this would be my next project. --JFK 16:02, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article listed for deletion

Hi Amizzoni,

I noticed from the Inclusionist category page that you're an inclusionist, too, and a native Spanish speaker. So, I was wondering if you would be able to do me a huge favor and possibly place a vote here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embarazada. I added a ton to it, citing my sources. If you could, I would be greatly in your debt.

Best wishes,

[edit] Stop uploading the unfree Cyrus Cylinder image

Please stop uploading the image from the British Museum. It was already speedily deleted once, yet you uploaded it under another name again, and edited the Cyrus the Great article with it. Images from the British Museum are not free, and thus cannot be used on Wikipedia. ♠ SG →Talk 02:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem! You live, you learn. I too wish we had a better image of the Cyrus Cylinder. ♠ SG →Talk 15:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Started Karl Hoffmann (German historian)

Hi, Amizzoni. Just letting you know that I started the article Karl Hoffmann (German historian) thanks to you. Thought you'd like to know, since you were the one who first listed him on Wikipedia. Still a stub, though; doesn't even detail the later years of his life or most of his work. ♠ SG →Talk 16:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing archaeology topics

I wonder if you could have a look at this list of missing archaeology topics - Skysmith 13:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cylinder image

Right, my apologies. I'm not familiar with the OTRS system, but I've gotten myself up to speed. In any case, see if you can get a larger image of the cylinder from Jona Lendering. That version has been made far too small for the article. ♠ SG →Talk 01:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Haha, I love the twist; I guess you got me. As for the image size, the original replacement you used was a different, smaller image. Glad you got a larger one this time, looks great. ♠ SG →Talk 05:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Thapsacus

Can you explain your objection to separating Biblical and secular references in this article?

Classical/Modern is an acceptable approach to me, but "Alleged Babylonian" is not parallel to that classification system. Unless you want "Alleged Classical" "Confirmed Classical", etc.... but let's not go there.

Let's pick an system of reference organization and stick with it. I don't particularly like Classical/Modern, because the only modern reference is the 1911 Brittania (and it's based on ancient sources!)

Please let me know why you think Biblical/secular is orthogonal to the article so we can discuss it.

Thanks for the explanation on my talk page. I now understand your concerns about biblical/secular - but I'm still not comfortable with your proposal of classical/modern/babylonian - they're not parallel thoughts (time period/time period/culture of origin).

Perhaps we can just scrap the subdivisions in this section? Honestly, I don't think it's such a big loss. Or, if you feel strongly that you want them organized into groups, let's continue to discuss a system that presents a clear and consistent method of organization. -- dpotter 15:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
