Hello Johanthon. Thanks for the work on Marcomer. I'm still confused about Ammianus, but not a big deal. I haven't seen that there are many people working on Merovingian Frankish articles. User:Srnec and some others do Carolingians. So if you want to rework Faramond or Clodion or whatever, I recommend you go straight ahead and do it. One thing where en.wikipedia differs from other ones is in the emphasis on citing sources. If you do rework articles, can you add a references section? If, for example, you used the PLRE, add that, and whatever else is relevant. There's no need to add footnotes unless you particularly want to. The usual layout is something like in Osgod Clapa, or if you want footnotes, have a look at Fiachnae mac Báetáin for how to do them. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Uncategorised, and categorisation
The tagging isn't a comment on the usefulness of the articles, nor on whether they have incoming or outgoing links, which is a different thing again (they'd generally get tagged as "orphaned" and "to be wikified", respectively). Basically it just adds them to a (currently rather long) queue of articles to be categorised. See the Categorization FAQ for more information on the purpose and nature of categories. If you need any help, or have any other questions, please feel free to ask me. Alai 21:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Julian the Apostate
Johanthon, which discussions were ongoing? I tried not to archive anything that had been commented on within the last month. You can unarchive yourself, you know--just edit the archive page, and move whichever discussion you need to the talk page. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Uh, Johanthon, I hope you are not planning to leave Talk:Julian the Apostate at 103k. That's a bit too big to edit easily, and most of the discussions haven't been active for months. It would be better to archive most of it and leave any discussions that are still ongoing on the talk page. --Akhilleus (talk) 19:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Johanthon, the poll is ancient. If someone wants to discuss moving the page (again), you can just say, "this was already discussed--look in the archives". Anyway, since you seem to have a strong opinion about this, I'll just leave the archiving to you, ok? --Akhilleus (talk) 20:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
