[edit] Policy in this talk page

Under my personal policy of "easier, simpler, better" I am organizing all entries under the correct user/paragraph and will be deleting old (and only old and out-dated mail, there will be no censorship) from time to time. It´s simply better for me to notice, find, understand and eventually to answer your mail. What can I say? I am simply lazy. Flamarande 21:24, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:


You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome. - JustPhil 17:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How I did a merge

Here are some links showing how I did that merge you requested. I did it the other way round, with Transalpine Gaul redirecting to Gallia Narbonensis - if you disagree, let's discuss it at the talk page for Gallia Narbonensis. Anyway, the process (and I don't claim this is ideal or 'correct') was:

The important point is to link to both articles in the edit summaries (links not shown above, but are shown if you follow the links). That makes it clear what is going on. Hope that helps. Carcharoth 16:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maps; Western Europe

Hi Flamarande, sorry for not replying earlier - i've been away for a week and a bit. I don't have any real wisdom to share with the maps - I just loaded it up in an image editing program (GIMP in my case, since I was on a linux box, but even Microsoft Paint will do) and used the "bucket fill" tool, etc. Then saved as a png format to avoid losses. Good to see there's a couple of us trying to hold the fort on "AU" over at Western Europe ;-) Deuar 13:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Outsider

Flamarande, thanks very much for your contributions to the article and to your valiant attempts during the AfD's. I knew it was a losing battle, but I certainly appreciate your support. I think you and I both agree that notability requirements for fictional subjects are extremely silly for a web-based encyclopedia... I mean, what harm is it if there are 10,000 articles on webcomics? They don't "clutter" anything as the user is not likely to stumble across one unless he's looking for it, and the AfD's take up more bandwidth than the actual article does. Obviously there are many who disagree. But as you say, not a big deal, just a thwack to the ego.

Hope TylerXKJ doesn't get in too much trouble.

I'll be happy to answer your questions, either here or in the Outsider Forum. You may get quicker response using the Forum. - Ariochiv 23:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Byzantine Empire

Hello! I have put your suggestion about the purple maps to a vote at Talk:Byzantine Empire, and I have left messages on the user pages of those people who contribute to Byzantine Empire topics. Please place your vote as soon as possible! Thanks, Bigdaddy1204 13:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ancients

Hi Flamarande. As our discussion is personal and has nothing to do with the article we might as well take it in private. Seeing that you're a native German-speaker I thought you might be interested by E. Friedell's "Kulturgeschichte Griechenlands". Despite its title, it is not restricted to Greek culture. It's one of my favourites and a classic of its kind, it would be a shame for a German-speaker to miss it. Unfortunately the author died before compiling the equivalent work focusing on Roman culture.
