[edit] Roman categories

Hi, glad to see you hacking on Roman stuff! My theory on Category:Ancient Romans and Category:Roman emperors is that they should only be for articles about individuals, the idea being that as subcategories of Category:People, one could merge all the subcats of people recursively and thereby generate a complete list of WP bios. So I'd rather see people-related stuff be put in other cats, and certainly under Category:Ancient Rome there are plenty to choose from... :-) Stan 05:32, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Further to that, if one thing is a subcategory of another, then you don't need to link both categories. Like Category:Ancient Roman women is a subcategory of Category:Ancient Romans, so you only need the Ancient Roman woman category. Similarily, Category:Roman empresses is a subcategory of Ancient Roman woman, so you only need the empresses category. Adam Bishop 01:24, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The Arthur Stone

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm puzzled by your reference in Historical basis for King Arthur (an article I'm surprised has existed for so long without my knowledge) to the inscription found at Tintagel that read "Artognou, father of a descendant of Coll, has had this built". Examining my references for this part of Britain (viz., Elisabeth Okasha Corpus of Early Christian inscribed Stones of South-west Britain, and C. A. Raleigh Radford & Michael J. Swanton Arthurian Sites in the West), I find neither of them mention this inscription. Could you provide more information about this intriguing inscription? -- llywrch 02:49, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi, if you are very keen on creating a category for roman women *at least* make it a sub-cat on Category:Ancient Romans and remove all the girls from one to the other. As it is, being categorized in both, its just silly. Regards, [[User:Muriel Gottrop|muriel@pt]] 10:26, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I cleared up the doubled categories in the Roman girls. It was such a mess. Even Zenobia was there... Cheers, [[User:Muriel Gottrop|muriel@pt]] 21:14, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] More categories

Hey again, more about categories - if we really need a Category:Justinian Dynasty, it should be a sub-category of Category:Byzantine Empire, and then you don't need both categories on the same page, just the Justinian one. See? Adam Bishop 22:13, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Image:Spqr-under-augustus.gif

Hi. I see that somebody marked this image you uploaded as {{unverified}}. When you have time, can you add an appropriate license from Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags ? Thanks! --iMeowbot~Mw 13:53, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article layout

Please put interwiki links at the very bottom with categories above it. Two of your edits: [1] [2]. See my edit afterwards for what I mean. Cburnett 01:00, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ten Thousand (Greek)

Well done that was an article which needed to be written. Philip Baird Shearer 11:42, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, the Anabasis is perhaps my favorite book of all time, and I'm surprised that no one wrote an article for the Ten Thousand yet. I'll have to start making articles for the generals, next. Kuralyov 19:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Palpatine

Recently, you made the following addition to Palpatine:

Several fans have noted how similar his appearance in the original trilogy is to Pope Benedict XVI, and in the prequels to U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman (although the former is certainly just coincidence). [3]

Please cite your source, because of today's current events, some might view this addition as vandalism. Thanks. Zzyzx11 | Talk 01:27, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Also if you do not cite sources to that addition, people might view it as either a personal attack or POV. Zzyzx11 | Talk 01:34, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Kuralyov, could you please use the edit summaries as recommended by Wikipedia:Edit summary? Specifically:

Always fill the summary field is one of Wikipedia's guidelines. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Accurate summaries help people decide whether it is worthwhile for them to check a change.

They are also very useful when trying to review changes to an article over time. Thank you for your cooperation. — Jeff Q (talk) 06:55, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I ~~second~~ third this request. Please include edit summarries. It is very tiresome to other editors to have no indication of what an edit was about without doing a diff. Thank you very much. Johntex 23:26, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You don't have to, I don't, it will just add the section. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 22:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revenge of the Sith credits

Thank you for lending a hand in the correction of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith credits. Let's keep an eye on that page... I certainly have been doing so for weeks. Copperchair 8 July 2005 01:29 (UTC)

Please be aware that you have violated the WP:3RR at this article. This is a blockable offense (24 hour block), but I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you were unaware of the rule. If you revert it after this warning you will be temporarily blocked from editing. violet/riga (t) 8 July 2005 22:12 (UTC)

Sorry, I am kind of new around here. Thank you for your link to the info and for your understanding. It will not happen again. Copperchair 05:59, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

As a side note, could you check back with that page? We're trying to get some sort of consensus going so we get this lame thing over with. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 21:07, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Imperatrix

Hi Kuralyov,

Have you any idea when the Latin term "Imperatrix" came into being? I have two Latin dictionaries, neither of them listing this word. In a more modern on-line dictionary the only context that is mentioned is that of the "Benediktbueren manuscript, which is middle ages. So it seems a bit strange to me it would go back to antiquity. Have you any other information (preferably, of course in the form of a reference), e.g. which authors from antiquity used this word? Could it be used in a non-monarch way? etc...

--Francis Schonken 19:54, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Kuralyov, best to use user talk pages for your comments and not user pages. I only saw your reply by accident, since an edit of a user page doesn't send "you have a new message", like an edit of a user talk page does. Re. Imperatrix:

I'll see whether I can check Suetonius. I thought he'd use "Augusta". If he'd use "Imperatrix" it would be in my dictionaries that always indicate the female form if it is used.
- Negative: I checked the Latin Suetonius at the LacusCurtius website, no root "imperatr" to be found in any of the books of the Twelve Caesars. --Francis Schonken 08:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Still to be checked: "wife of a republican Imperator" - sounds very unconvincing to me. But if this is the way it is, I'd be happy to add it to the "imperator" page, with a straight reference.
Of course "imperatrix" is the female form of "imperator" anyone knowing a bit of Latin could've constructed the female form from the male form. The question is since when it was used, and in what meanings it was used in different epochs (if the meaning shifted).

tx! --Francis Schonken 08:20, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Roman battles

Is there any particular reason you're so insistent on recreating this category? It was my impression that a clear consensus exists that battles should be categorized under "Battles of Foo" rather than "Fooish battles". Kirill Lokshin 16:40, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please check your WP:NA entry

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:

If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BDAbramson T 03:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Julia Caesaris (character) in SPQR series

I made this page whilst rationalising Julia Caesaris, but I don't know the series myself and so can't put in enough to save it from speedy deletion. Can u help? Many thanks

[edit] Accusation of Sock Puppetry

I am not RabinicLawyer and I don't appreciate the accusation that I am rabiniclawyer simply because I choose to side with him. Please refrain from making accusations when you have little evidence to back it up. I simply agree with RabinicLawyer and is a friend of mine, just like how Goons are friends of yours. --TrollHistorian 01:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion for Star Wars Galaxy

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Star Wars Galaxy, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Star Wars Galaxy. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- MrDolomite | Talk 17:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celestial Matters now an article

I noticed on your list of "Things to Do" you wanted to write an article about "Celestial Matters". Thank you, but I have now written it. (Beg pardon for the unorthodox signing; it was only my first day on Wikiedia when I first posted here.) Artemis-Arethusa 19:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of My Tank Is Fight!

A tag has been placed on My Tank Is Fight!, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

No direct assertion of notability. No independent sources. Article previously deleted for these very reasons (see AFD discussions)

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Drat (Talk) 06:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't have a hatred of SA. I've been reading and enjoying it for years. However, the point stands that no-one seems prepared to show that the book has been covered in any non-trivial way by sources wholly independent to the site, author, publisher, sellers, etc. It's one thing to dance around and say there are sources. It's another to actually cite those sources. I also did not delete the page. I simply tagged it, with a reason, and whoever deleted it agreed with those reasons. Please take note of the first and second Articles for Deletion discussions.--Drat (Talk) 10:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
