[edit] Spanish Inquisition

Let me know if you want me to help with the translation (i.e. dividing the job by paragraphs). E Asterion u talking to me? 12:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure, if you want, but it looks like you have yourself involved in a lot. I'm mainly translating and adding bits and pieces before tackling the major work of the the last paragraph and the introduction. If you don't have too much time, I may just ask you about some nuanced phrasing that might puzzle me.Hobomojo 23:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overlinking and linking

Apologies if "manic" or "green ink" seemed critical. I'm just a miserable sod really.

There's a page at WP:MOS-L which tries to explain the standard way. Basically, the starting position is to link things once. But if it is a long article (as the Inquisition one is), and something was mentioned once and then reappears later, then it might be good to link it again, especially if it is something obscure. I always put duplicate links in picture captions even if they are in the text, but I don't know what the experts say. Something that's not always easy to catch is duplicate links through redirects. Protestant and Protestantism point to the same thing. It's not something to worry about if you have some duplicate links, nor was the Inquisition article especially bad. Indeed, it's almost impossible to avoid without having lots of people copyedit the article.

If you need any help with anything, please ask ! It's great to see your work on the Inquisition article which really needs it. Best of luck ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish

Hi, You've done a minor miracle towards moving the article to a decent state, but the main parts of the intro and other remain, and we can't remove the POV material in the early parts of the article unless there is something better to replace it with. I was wondering what your plans are to continue or if you dont have the time - beggars can't be choosy but just wanted to see if your still around. Thank you. -- Stbalbach 23:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I just got really busy with my dissertation and some other things, so had to take a pause. There will come a point for a wholesale revision of the intro and other sections, rather than just adding translations. It is something I want to keep working on, and perhaps I can do a bit more later tonight and this week.Hobomojo 23:10, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Voltaire

Sorry about the delay but a lot of issues (WP and non-WP) needed fixing. Also, thanks for asking me instead of drawing your own conclusions. The thing is that I do not hate Voltaire - I dislike him. I dislike him for his hate against a body of which I happen to be a member of, which he termed "L'infame" and which he wanted to smash. For his absuing of the victims of the Lissabon earthquake, for his racism (which again shows that reason alone is just as fallible as human beings) and last but not least for his glorification of the worst king France ever had, the main culprit of France's troubles and a chief cause in Europe's troubles. All the while blaming intolerant acts (like the repeal of the Edict of Nantes) on the Church while glorifying that wretched Louis. Not that there is nothing positive about Voltaire: his expounding of the actual, true principle of tolerance ("I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.") Seeing now that this is a misattribution I must remove that from the Voltaire balance. Anyway, I don't that Voltaire had refrained from the massacres that later really happened, given all his other utterances, though he is not the father of totalitarianism. Another positive thing is his eventual fleeing of the Prussian tyrant, though I am not completely informed about the reasons. All in all, a rather spiteful, miserable, conceited creature that deserves our pity and not our hate. Str1977 (smile back) 14:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. Thought I read [[[hate]]] somewhere on your page; either that or I was paraphrasing Tom Tomorrow, or I totally spaced out what prompted the comment. Voltaire was a complex figure, no doubt. I guess I give him a bit more of a break; he was a product of his time (though an iconoclast) and of his local culture (though very cosmopolitan)Hobomojo 23:23, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inquisition

Oi, rapaz, voce é Brasileiro, é? Um grande abraço pra voce :). Como voce me mediu estou escrevendo do artigo Inquisição pra gente discutir melhor. Não entendi a sua dúvida no que eu escrevi. O que eu tava tentando dizer, em resumo, é que Inquisições (a ação de julgar e punir hereges) ocorreram continuamente através da estória, não limitado em pequenos períodos de tempo, apesar de alguns dos movimentos de Inquisição serem limitados em períodos. (Note que alguns duraram séculos) O que os movimentos de Inquisição são é uma intensificação das Inquisições (ação). Note que eu to separando Inquisição (movimentos) com Inquisição (ato de julgar heresia). Há também o significado de Inquisição como instituição (instituição católica para lidar com heresia)

[edit] 3RR

If you arent aware of it please read WP:3RR as if you were to revert Operation Condor again within 24 hours you would be in violation. I would also suggest that you read what Pethr said, SqueakBox 17:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
