[edit] Signpost

Could you help me please in translating?

For example, I'd like to say:" In addition, in the Hungarian Wikipedia, the community votes for the article to be published on the main page." -- is it good? NCurse Image:Edu science.png work 16:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

That's what I wanted. :) Thanks. NCurse Image:Edu science.png work 17:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Would you be so kind as to help me? Still User:NCurse/Signpost. Please make a copy-edit, then make In the media section into prose. To be honest, I'm a science-oholic, so I can read scientific articles without any problem, but I'm in trouble when I have to translate properly common sections. :) I really like Miskolc...

You're a nice, aggressive girl, Alensha :D (and I see, you are proud of Flood in Miskolc, 1878 :P) – Kdano 19:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

It was just a sketch:
  • media coverage should be in prose, so we should tell people about these articles.
  • images were randomly choosen, I want to show nice and informative pictures, I just added these to have an example how it will look like...
  • I'll add hun portal.
  • "we could also write something about the growth of our encyclopedia", just go on, we'll include it. :)

Thanks for help. NCurse Image:Edu science.png work 22:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] LGT

Hi there: I am sorry that my placing a notability tag on this article upset you, and am also sorry to take so long to reply; I have been away. The tag does not mean that the article is bad, it just means that you need to explain why the subject deserves an encyclopedia article. Usually this means that you have to expand the article, which you have now done, and I see that the tag has gone. You, as an editor, have the right to remove tags of this type, although it is expected that in doing so you will address the problem - which of course in this case you have done. Friends?--Anthony.bradbury 07:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Géza Lakatos, Miskolc, etc

Hi, on 12 November 2005, you edited Géza Lakatos article and inserted " Adelaide, My 24, 1967 " for place and date of his death. I wonder if you could check your source and confirm. I have a different place and date (Sydney, May 21, 1967) Ref. Kursietis, Andris J. The Hungarian Army and its Military Leadership in World War II.

On a separate note - Do you have any information or sources on Miskolc's history during the 1956 uprising and the role played by the army vis a vis the AVO. (I understand that the military barracks were across the road from AVO headquarters.) I am researching various aspects of Hungarian military history and am anxious to get my facts right.

[edit] Vitkovics

Szia, nem tudnád feltölteni esetleg a magyar wikiről az angolra azt a képet, ami a Vitkovics Mihály szócikket illusztrálja? Én nem nagyon értek hozzá, meg nem is vagyok regisztrálva a magyaron, úgyhogy le se tudom tölteni magamnak. Azért kellene, mert Panonian írt egy szócikket a magyarországi szerbekről és Petőfit rakta be illusztrációnak. Sikerült meggyőznöm róla, hogy ez így kicsit gáz, és elfogadná Petőfi helyett a Vitkovics képet. Ha van egy kis időd a dologra előre is köszi. Zello 18:29, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1956 revolution

Szia Alensha, the 1956 Hungarian revolution is on the Article Creation and Improvement Drive (shortcut: WP:AID) in the hopes that we can get it all cleaned up nice and ready to be the featured article on Oct. 23, the 50th anniversary of the uprising! The thing is, it needs votes. (This whole campaign was actually user:Istvan's idea but I'm helping him out.) I'm just randomly typing messages to various Hungarian Wikipedians encouraging them to go vote. Would you please help up out? Hajrá Magyarország! ;) K. Lastochka 00:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Alensha and Lastochka, I caught your post re: the Hungarian aricle - I wouldnt say its without merit, there are quite a few valuable but disjointed facts listed which could be brought over to the English site - perhaps doing this first, before backtranslating the En:article would at least allow you to say it actually had the Hungarian input first. BTW, Im happy this has your attention. Istvan 13:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Szívesen! I love barnstars....thinking of creating an even more prestigious Hungarian one for when the article gets FA and we can all bask in our own glory. :) Love, Lastocska K. Lastochka 16:25, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Archduchess Walburga + sisters

I basically moved these articles because they were located at NN, Archduchess of Austria, which isn't the right title for princesses. I think it's actually used for grand dukes and some kings, ie, Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse, and not used to title princesses or archduchesses. Morhange 03:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] September 2006 Riots

Hello Alensha, Your report of Szonda Ipsos poll forecasts for the upcoming local elections are very interesting.

 + * In towns having less than 10,000 inhabitants: Fidesz 38%, MSZP 19% 
 + * In larger towns: Fidesz 30%, MSZP 26% 
 + * In cities with county rights: Fidesz 35%, MSZP 19% 
 + * In the capital: Fidesz 27%, MSZP 27%. 
 +  
 + (Source: MTI Report, September 22, 2006.[1])

These figures confirm the impression I formed on a visit to Hungary earlier this year that there is a significant divide, in many respects, between the capital (Budapest) and rest of Hungary. Do you have any information / statistics / etc., or your own views, why MSZP is running neck and neck with Fidesz in the capital, but trailing significantly in the rest of the country? In what way does the electoral demography of the capital differ from the rest of Hungary?
On a different note - your excellent reports on what’s going on there might not be reaching their target audience cose wiki page "2006 protests in Hungary‎" is not integrated into any of the 'mainstream' Hungary pages, where one would naturally look for info. I came across your reports by chance.
Regards (and take care!), Bardwell 23:39, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks! BTW - are you aware of wikinews? See: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page. Your on-the-spot reporting would fit there v. nicely, I think, and would get greater exposure. Bardwell 12:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hungary portal

Jó napot Alensha! I do indeed love Hungary--basically I'm Hungarian like Liszt Ferenc was: hardly any actual ethnic Magyar blood, but patriotic Hungarian to the core. :) I'd love to contribute to the Hungary portal--can't promise I'd be able to do stuff every week but I'll gladly help out if I'm needed. I can be of most use on culture-related stuff, especially music as that is my area of expertise. :) By the way, how about that vote of confidence, eh? I thought for sure Gyurcsi was political dead meat!! Is the rest of the country as annoyed as I am? :) K. Lastochka 17:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Excellent! Glad to see NCurse is an admin too! I'm with you on the political crap--if I were suddenly granted Hungarian citizenship I'd probably be one of those "hold your nose and vote Fidesz" types, at least for now, but I'd try to stay out of politics. K. Lastochka 18:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Are they really that close to KDNP?? I was under the impression that they were just your basic centre-right party. K. Lastochka 18:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Budapest railway stations

Regarding your comment on my talk page, my recent moves of the Budapest station articles were motivated by the prior work done on articles akin to the likes of Berlin Hauptbahnhof and Praha hlavní nádraží. Whilst I would normally agree with your argument that on the English Wikipedia English placenames should be used, it is a slightly different matter with railway stations. Most railway operators in continental Europe use the original names for the stations their trains pass through (i.e. a train going from Brussels via Munich to Prague would likely be labelled as Bruxelles-München-Praha), so I believe this to be an exception to the rule.

There's also been a discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains#Station_naming_scheme which might be of interest regarding this subject matter.

Regarding your comment about the name being "grammatically wrong", I used [2] and [3] which both list the station as "Budapest keleti pu". It is also commonly found on destination indicators abroad. If there is any official MÁV station naming scheme, I'm interested to hear of it, but I highly doubt that even MÁV omits the "Budapest". --doco (☏) 19:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments for both sides

It may be odd but I can't really take sides in this matter.

Arguments for using English:

  1. easier to browse and identify for 99.99% of readers
  2. (could be) universal through the English-language Wikipedia.

Arguments for preserving the Hungarian:

  1. translations may sound silly or unusual for native speakers (just imagine Piccadilly Körönd – example from Problem English, ISBN 9631833240, p. 126), due to the mixed associations and/or the different naming conventions in different cultures
  2. translations almost always can be debated; often as many guide books, as many translations; one may express the basic idea more faithfully while another version may be more widespread etc.
  3. they don't help the reader identify the actual name of the place in question
  4. if someone is really interested in a country, they can pick up the words for "street", "square", "railway station" in about one minute; constraining the translated form may become somewhat affected afterwards
  5. it's hard to draw a line between things common enough to be translated and less important things where a translation can only be occasional and arbitrary.

Adam78 20:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

All right, Keleti Railway Station is a good compromise, I think! Adam78 13:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Party election results

Hello. I've been inserting the tables found on Hungarian political parties that show the number of seats and votes won, etc. If you could sort of go through them, maybe translating the footnotes from Hungarian, that would be nice. More importantly, though, there's a problem with Fidesz. The Hungarian version says that it won 266,689 votes in 1990 and 279,686 in 1994; the English one says 439,481 and 379,295. If you happen to know the actual numbers, please tell me so that I can make an accurate table for Fidesz as well. Thank you. Biruitorul 22:03, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I've looked through the whole thing again. I'm sorry, but I afraid I'll have to tell you to run it through deletion review instead. And you may or may not have a case because it is likely that editors will tell you to avoid Wikipedia itself as a self-reference (although you can use the sources in the original article, untranslated), and the English Wikipedia doesn't really accept anything considered as "trivia" these days. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 08:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South American Community of Nations

Hey, how are you? Having a look at the discussion of the article in question I could notice how you congratulated and supported the SACN. I just wanna thank you for your nice words and your feeling for South America as a whole. Unfortunately, I cannot see the changes we were supposed to experience with the Union. Recently, there has been a meeting in which every associate member agreed to revoke the so-called visa. This visa, as you may know, was a compulsory and expensive document required when travelling from one country to the other. I'm pretty sure this fact is really important for us as a subcontinent, because it allows everyone to cross the border for a maximum of 90 days without showing any documentation. Anyway, there are still many things to do. I hope we can see the difference in a couple of years time.

[edit] Hungary portal, and problem articles

Szia! I'm sorry I haven't been helping out on the portal, I've been pretty busy and actually I'm not entirely sure how to manage a portal. :) So if you need/want help on anything, just let me know and I'll do whatever I can. I'm still pretty busy for the next few weeks but will be able to do some work here. :)

BTW, I noticed on the portal talk page that there is a big list of articles that need lots of work--Magyarization, KoH, Trianon etc.....I completely agree that they are a big mess. (I made the mistake of getting involved in some weird nationalist arguments a few weeks ago, sent my wikistress level through the roof!) I've noticed that those articles are usually monopolized by a certain alliance of Slovakian and Serbian wikipedians who are very vigilant to let their own rather POV version of events dominate the article, and any time any of us comes along to try and balance it or correct misleading statements, we get jumped on and discredited just for being Hungarian. I'm well aware that we have our own obnoxious POV-pushers, but even those of us with no "bad nationalist" agenda get slammed along with the obnoxious ones--leading to a stalemate. :( It was mentioned on the problem article list that a Wikiproject might be needed to clean up the mess. I think that's a good idea--but i came up with an idea of my own last night, thought I might run it by you: a lot of the charges leveled against us on those articles are obviously ones of blind nationalism, saying that "of course, no one, and especially not the Hungarians, can be trusted to see their own history in a balanced NPOV way." There is indeed some truth to that, for every country. So what I was thinking is, how about we form some sort of informal "alliance" with a bunch of wikipedians from somewhere else? I was considering asking the Poles--we've historically been friendly with them, and the Polish wikipedians (especially Piotrus!!) are amazingly well-organized and professional (have you SEEN their portal and noticeboard?!). What I'm thinking is they could help resolve some of our disputes, they could be a friendly-yet-critical, reliable source of copyediting, information from more neutral sources etc., and in return we could help them with whatever similar problems they encounter. (Just think: "The Alliance of Polish and Hungarian Wikipedians"!)

I know it might sound a little silly! :) It was just a random late-night idea I had, and I've always wanted to play diplomat and forge some great alliance. Why not here on Wikipedia, all for the good of the encyclopedia? :) Just a thought. :) K. Lástocska 18:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


Szia! I thought of that too, if we do try and start a little "alliance" we should make it very clear it's not some sort of Anti-Slovak-and-Serbian Society. :) That's not my intent in the slightest. My idea really was just to have a reliable, friendly but also critical group of people to help us out if our credibility is questioned (by anyone, not just the Slovak-Serb group), help resolve disputes (again, with anyone), neutrally let us know when we DO get too POV, etc. And of course we would help them however we can. I remember back in August when the 56 project was just barely starting (still on the AID drive!), István suggested that we could enlist a group of Czechs to help us with 56, then when it came the Prague Spring's turn for an FA anniversary celebration, we would return the favor. But I couldn't find any big organized groups of Czechs, so that didn't happen. I imagine doing something similar with the Poles--and it wouldn't be all dispute resolution and arguing with annoying nationalists either, our countries have historically been pretty close and there is a lot of good we could jointly do on ordinary history and culture articles. :) K. Lástocska 21:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Jeszcze Polska nie zginiela! :) I don't have any Polish blood (as far as I know) but I completely adore the country and the people, for all their eccentricities. :) Poland and Hungary seem to have a lot in common--mainly how we've both been kicked around and caught in the crossfire every single time the big European powers start fighting. Arrrgh... :) anyways yes, I'll ask the Poles. I might leave a talk-page message for Piotrus first, just to see if it is a good idea from his perspective, and then maybe post something about it on the Polish noticeboard. :)

Is it really your birthday btw? If if is, happy birthday!!! K. Lástocska 21:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Egypt

Hello there:

Glad you liked the blog entry about the visit to Berlin, and the Ägyptisches Museum there. Am very much a museum enthusiast, and was just lucky that a business trip landed me in a hotel that was just up the street from "Museum Island". I have another business-related trip to Boston in February and am hoping to make a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts while there. The previous week I made a point of photographing the Egyptian exhibits at the local (to me) Royal Ontario Museum, and I plan to upload those over the next few days, so there will be more to come on the Commons. The organization efforts of the images there are really just part of trying to tie together all of the usable images documenting Ancient Egyptian history.

As for the English Egyptology wikiproject, please just add your name to the list! Of those listed there, the contributors I run into most are Thanatosimii, Markh, and more occasionally llywrch. Thanatosimii and I worked on bringing the Ahmose I article up to Feature Article status, I have lent a hand to Marhk's efforts on the Valley of the Kings, and I am also helping to add to the Thutmose III article prior to submitting it for peer review. The collaborations tend to be informal, but together we have been able to improve a significant number of articles on the topic of Ancient Egypt.

As for the templates, best thing is to simply start with a template of interest and use your own sandbox to play in. Probably the most useful thing to do would be to head to the page of a given pharaoh, such as Ay, and look at the use the "Pharaoh Infobox" template —which is arguably the most useful template currently in use — and consider applying it to articles of pharaohs using the "old style", such as Shepseskare Isi for example. This will give you a bit of a feel for how the templates are used in general. In terms of how to enter the text to appear in a cartouche, there are two methods: see List of hieroglyphs/german-Gardiner-list-translated and Gardiner's Sign List. I believe this functionality is built into a Unicode library supporting Ancient Egyptian on Wikipedia -- it just needs to be invoked within a template to be displayed.

[edit] little question

Szia Alensha, I've got a sort of stupid request. Yesterday I left a message for NCurse about a slightly disturbing statement somebody made on an article talk page, asking if it was something we should worry about. He replied, but entirely in Hungarian. You know me, I'm only half-magyar, born in exile the United States, and my Hungarian is atrocious. :( I tried translating it but I'm not sure I got it right. When you have some spare time, can you take a look at it, my reply to NCurse's reply and tell me if I've missed something? Nagyon szépen köszönöm....K. Lásztocska 15:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Köszi! That's what I thought he said but I just wanted to make sure, I really appreciate your help. :) (I promise, I'm studying magyar, soon enough I'll be able to translate on my own...)K. Lásztocska 19:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] szia!

Hi! Thanks for your note, I'm going to break my wikibreak for a while to respond. :)

Yeah, I am female. I know the football stuff, plus the military history of 56, is kind of a "guy thing"--I get that a lot, also because I rarely indulge in "girl talk", I always surprise people online when I reveal my true gender. I put that "this user is female" box up there after one too many people called me "Mr. Lásztocska". :)

"Pusztalakó" still makes me laugh. He doesn't mind, does he? You should have a nickname just based on the word "város", to contrast the city with the great big empty Alföld. And don't worry, when I ever make it back to the old country I'll visit Miskolc AND Debrecen. But given my current unfortunate situation I should maybe be nicknamed "Külföldi" !!!

István really wants to see the Puskás article as FA on April 2, for what would have been his (Puskás, that is) 80th birthday. I'm with him (István) as usual, only I'm totally useless so far because I really don't know much about him that isn't already in the article. I'm trying to get a copy of his autobiography "Puskás on Puskás" but it seems to have totally vanished from every bookseller in this godforsaken country...if I find it I'll be back to help out, otherwise will still be obscure for a while. Keep an eye on the Franz Liszt article for me in my absence, will you please? Lately he's been the target of vandals and trolls asserting he was REALLY Slovak, or Austrian, or German, or anything but magyar. Knowing how much he loved Hungary, it's quite an insult to say otherwise--see my rant on the List of Austrians talk page. :)

Anyway, hope everything goes well here, on HuWiki and in real life! I'll be back soon (and probably still around sporadically in the meantime.)

K. Lásztocska 16:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC) (a.k.a. Külföldi!) :)


I wish I was planning to visit Hungary. Or Kassa, wherever that is now. :) No, I'm stuck stateside for at least the next four years--I might try and study at the Liszt Ferenc Zeneakademia in BP after that. But have fun at the meetup, say hello to everyone for me. Thanks for the eBay link--British Amazon.com seems to have some copies too. (Always count on the English to have everything relating to football...) Cheers, K. Lásztocska 18:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] People born in Jerusalem

Hi,

I've noticed you was the editor who added the split request to the Jerusalem article. Was that list moved to somewhere or was it simply deleted by the anonymous user who edited it at 17:24, 9 January 2007? I noticed this quite accidentally (I was searching for that section of the article in the page history because I need the template that arranged the list into nice columns), and now I don't know whether I stumbled upon unnoticed vandalism or the list is safely moved to somewhere. – Alensha talk 15:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not sure what happened to it either. I saw the list had suddenly disappeared, but not moved to another article. I just didn't say anything about it because I didn't think it was necessary for the article anyway and surmised that someone else had agreed with me on that point. -- tariqabjotu 15:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Universelles Leben

Thank you for editing hu:Univerzális Élet. I am unilingual in English and I only have an account for Main page. Since you have an account in hu:Kezdőlap, maybe you could add an interwiki link to Universal Life on hu:Univerzális Élet. That way, Hungarian-speakers who are browsing the Hungarian article will notice there is a corresponding English page, and hopefully some of them will also know English and translate some of the Hungarian article and post the English translation onto Universal Life. Universal Life is still a stub. Both the history pages of pl:Życie Uniwersalne and hu:Univerzális Élet have many more users than the history page of Universal Life. I'm curious if there is any info on hu:Univerzális Élet that doesn't appear on Universal Life. I think it's weird that of all the languages the de:Universelles Leben has been translated into, English is the one with the article that is the shortest. Anyway, if you ever decide to write in English on Universal Life, I'm sure I will find it helpful and enjoy reading your contribution.

I do not have a professional level of English, but I am a native speaker, and I think this line of yours is incorrect: "I work as a translator from the English into Hungarian)." I think the word "the" shouldn't be there, and I think the parenthesis after the word "Hungarian" shouldn't be there either (since the beginning parenthesis is missing). However, I have not read your entire userpage, so I could be wrong.

This is only my second post on a User talk page, so I hope I haven't made any mistakes!--Xandiar 05:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

for your welcome note on the Talk:Romania page, related to my country's admission in the EU. merryXIV 23:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mutemwiya

The reason I removed the Artatama Mitannian info. is that absolutely nothing is known about her origins. That is why Aidan Dodson--who is a true professional Egyptologist--says nothing about her background in his book on Egypt's royal families. No one can prove if she was linked to the family of Yuya--or not because no text or document mentions her paternity! If her son hadn't become king, she would have remained an obscure minor wife of Thutmose IV. The O'Connor & Cline book just quotes Betsy Bryan's book the reign of Thutmose IV in stating that claims that Mutemwiya was from Mitanni are likely unfounded and merely an attempt to add colour to her unknown origin. The same goes for claims that she was linked to Yuya since this is pure speculation without proof. When nothing is known of one's origins, anyone can dwell and speculate on her true origins but Wikipedia shoult dwell on the facts. Thank You. 24.87.136.31 03:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Madam, I have Nicolas Grimal's 1992 book titled 'A History of Ancient Egypt'. Grimal--who is also a professional scholar--writes that Mutemwia is "wrongly identified as the daughter of Artatama I" as once thought. (p.221) Frankly, many people would like to say that King X or Lady Y was the son or daughter of this person or that when we know absolutely nothing about King X or Lady Y's family history from the historical texts. In this vacuum, people make all sorts of guesses--whether they are absed on facts or not. I should stress that king Siptah was once thought to be the son of Tiaa, one of Seti II's wives even though no historical document mentioned his parentage. Some Egyptologists just guessed that it was Tiaa! But then 4 years ago, scholars found a relief from the Louvre museum which establishes that Siptah was actually the son of an unknown Canaanite woman named Sutailja. She was probably a king's concubine. So, now, all the previous theories about Siptah's mother have been discredited! This shows that it is safer to say that nothing is known about Mutemwia or Siptah's parents rather than to speculate because a new discovery could make everyone look foolish. I hope this helps. Fabian 24.87.136.31 09:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I did not remove the reference to Yuya's possible Mitannian ancestry because no Egyptologist that I know of can dispute this theory. In contrast, both Betsy Bryan--who wrote a 1991 biography on Thutmose IV and knowsmore about the situation here, Nicolas Grimal and Aidan Dodson--by omission in the later case state or imply that Mutemwiya was not a daughter of Artatama. You have to read Betsy Bryan's book to see all the reasons why she rejects the previous assertion that she was Mitannian. Yuya, however, is a major problem. His name can be rendered in several different ways--not just Yuya but Iouiya for instance. Someone once gave me 4-5 different spellings of his name. This is not normal and MAY suggest that Yuya was a non-Egyptian though not necessarily from Mitanni. I've always thought he was Egyptian since he came from Akhmin in Upper Egypt which was mostly native Egyptian but his name is rather rare. So far no scholar can dispute Yuya's foreign origins; so, I prefer to leave the reference to Yuya's alleged Mitanni background in place and just cite the source fror this belief--Gaston Maspero's analysis in Theodore Davis' 1907 book on the discovery of Yuya's tomb. Imagine, its now 100 years and we still don't know if Yuya was Egyptian or not. This shows just how far Egyptology has come in this matter! Regards.

There are 5 different spellings for Yuya. (I found the message) The variations are "iAy", ywiA", ywA [reed-leaf with walking feet], ywiw" and, in orthography, usually a sign of something foreign, "yiA"[man with hand to mouth]. The spellings all come from Maspero's comments on Yuya in Davis' 1907 book. My contact says that "it is not usual to have so many spelling variants" for an Egyptian name which hints at a non-Egyptian origin for Yuya. However, she states that there are many known foreigners from Upper Egypt since the famed Brooklyn Papyrus lists 95 servants. "A list of them is included which states their titles, names and surnames, and their occupations. Of the seventy-seven entries which are presented well enough to enable the individual's nationality to be read, twenty-nine appear to be Egyptian while forty-eight are 'Asiatics' . . . Although the foreign names were not precise enough to enable the exact homeland of these Asiatics to be identified, it can be said that they were from a 'Semitic group of the north west' . . . The Brooklyn Papyrus is important here because it shows that one household employed a large proportion of Asiatics and this household was situated in Upper Egypt (the south) and not in the Delta; therefore it is apparent that Asiatic servants were by now disseminated throughout the community."

No, I don't know how to do hierolyphic signs. Sorry. 24.87.136.31 01:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Alensha, I don't know to type in hieroglyphs at all but I know someone on Wikipedia who does! Here is the web link for the list of changes for the Wikipedia article on The Sea Peoples. [6] You will notice that a user named Flembes added the hieroglyphs for the Sea Peoples in his first post on the subject on October 25 at 9:30. click on last to see how he does it. Flembes is the one you want; he has added hieroglyphics for other Egyptian articles too, I notice. You should contact him. I'm just not technically proficient here but I will add the 5 ways of spelling Yuya's name on Wikipedia's article on Yuya. It was nice talking with you. 24.87.136.31 09:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hungary-history-stub

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of your new stub type, while it looks a reasonable category and will almost certainly reach the required number of stubs, it is not named according to stub naming guidelines and will probably be renamed to the more standard {{Hungary-hist-stub}}. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-standard capitalization of names

Hello, I saw your post at Talk:Bell hooks regarding the related capitalization issue. There is currently a similar, somewhat stagnating discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Individual typographical choices for personal names, for which I am trying to render input by more editors. Hence I was wondering whether you would like to comment. Regards - Cyrus XIII 09:00, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christiane Desroches Noblecourt

No problem. The main stumbling block the translator and I have come across is that the description of the transportation of the temple of Amada is very unclear in the original French. Do you know how this temple was in fact moved? I'm not sure my present description is totally accurate... WJBscribe 23:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beketaten

Dear Alensha, I notice you frequently cite Aidan Dodson's useful 2004 book on Egypt's royal families in your posts regarding various Egyptian personalities. You probably have a copy of it in your home. Does Dodson make any comments concerning Beketaten--ie: her identity, etc? Beketaten does not appear as one of Akhenaten's 6 daughters. I strongly doubt that she is Nebetah for one reason. Unlike Amenhotep III's other 3 daughters, she is only attested once in the historical records by a colossal statue. She is not mentioned in small items, unlike her three sisters. This suggests to me that she had a brief life. Leoboudv 10:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Beketaten was the daughter of Amenhotep III? That's strange. Maybe it is based on new information. I have a photocopy of Cline & O'Connor's comprehensive 1998 book on Amenhotep III's reign and they state that Amenhotep III had only 4 known daughters with Queen Tiye: Sitamun, Henuttaneb, Isis or Aset and Nebetah. I gave my reference in the 'Family' section of Amenhotep III. On the theory of a Amenhotep-Akhenaten coregency, I reject the idea because the tomb of Amenhotep III always his prenomen written as Nebmaatre Amehotep--a situation which is imposible in a 19+ year long coregency. In contrast, in Akhenaten's reign, Amenhotep III's name was always written as 'Nebmaatre Nebmaatre' to avoid mentioning his father's Amun affiliated birth name. Also, a diplomatic letter addressed to Akhenaten is now believed to date to Year 2, rather than Year 12, of Akhenaten's reign as Aldred once thought. I wrote an Amazon.com review on Nicholas Reeves book "Akhenaten: Egypt's False Prophet" and it is still online there concerning these points. You can look it up. Regards, Fabian Leoboudv 20:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

As an Aside, I recently expanded the article on Ramesses IV by including more information on this king's various expeditions and providing a short list of attestations for him under my anonymous 24.87, etc log in No. Someone wrote here previously that his Queen was a certain Tetopet but I know nothing about her. I assume it is true but I don't even know if her name is spelled Tetopet? If Dodson's book includes any comments on her, I invite you to add in some information on her currently blank Wikipedia web page--if you wish--since you have done the same for other Egyptian personalities. With kind Regards. Fabian Leoboudv 02:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I will change the reference to Beketaten being Akhenaten's daughter in the Nebetah page if you haven't already. Reeves book is very good on the reign of terror of Akhenaten's reign as well as the paranoia which afflicted his reign. He also correctly rejects a long coregency. But Reeves proposed identification of the male mummy in KV55 as Akhenaten is wrong; it is the body of a young man between age 19-20 years old. I have Bob Brier's 1998 book on an Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt who confirms this based on the kings bones. This is far too young for Akhenaten since the latter had 6 children in his reign and was obviously a mature adult at his accession. Secondly, his proposed identification--based on John Harris GM 1973 paper--that a ruler named Neferneferuaten was both Nefertiti and later king Smenkhkare is wrong--since several epithets given to her have the words "effective for her husband." So, the king Smenkhkare would be the young man in KV55 who died by age 20. I plan to post some information on Smenkhkare one day. PS: James Allen, in a forthcoming book in memory of Bill Murnane, thinks Nefertiti died before her husband's name and that the ruler Neferneferuaten was one of Akhenaten's five living daughters; see his article here: [7] Regards, Leoboudv 20:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I added a small amount of the deleted information on Sitamun back to her article. She lived in a time when women featured prominently in history. I also added some references. Hope you approve. I did not save the reference to the Crown Prince Thutmose as you suggested. It was nice contacting you. PS: Thanks for the help on Ramesses IV's wife. Goodbye. Leoboudv 03:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another translation request

Szia Alensha! Would you be able to translate the Nagybocskó and Nagybocskó (Románia) articles for me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Khoikhoi 08:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. :-) The situation with Nagybocskó reminds me of the situation with Komárom and Komárno. Also, I noticed that Bocicoiu Mare says "In 1992 Bocicoiu Mare and Lonka, which belongs to it..." I'm pretty sure that Lonka today is split in two as well. The northern part is called Луг ("Luh"), and the southern part is called Lunca la Tisa. Perhaps it should be changed? As for the Toldeo pic, thanks! I thought it was too big when I added it, but I haven't got tired so far of looking at it. Khoikhoi 05:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, please keep me updated. Cheers, Khoikhoi 05:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Great. According to this:
This Romanian Communa consists of
  • Bociciou Mare (Administrative Center)
  • Craciunesti (Jewish Religious Center)
  • Tisa
  • Lug
Ukrainian Town – Velykiv Bychkiv, Zakarpatska, Ukraine
I'm guessing that "Lug" (which is another transliteration for "Луг"), is in fact Lunca la Tisa. Also, I noticed that the two articles now contradict each other. Bocicoiu Mare says "The village was first mentioned in 1373, by the name Boshko.", while Velykyy Bychkiv says "The village was first mentioned in 1358, by the name Buchku." Which one is correct? Khoikhoi 01:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, ok. Thanks, I get it now. BTW, I noticed there was an article on Alsóvalkó. If you could translate that one too, I would be very grateful. :-) (this is the last one) Khoikhoi 21:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again! I suppose I actually do have two more:

The latter one already has some content, so I suppose we'd have to merge those two. Khoikhoi 22:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am asking people who have contributed or are interested in Northern Maramureş to talk about the recent change of the article name and some stuff (mainly spelling) inside. You can find some opinions here and here. Please, leave you comments Talk:Northern Marmaroshchyna. We might need the assistance of an admin to redo certain things (changing the name back, for ex.). Of course, let's first see that everyone agrees on a good name. Thank you.:Dc76 20:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
About Lunca/Lonka, see also Bocicoiu Mare. The Romanian administrative system "peculiarity" is as follows: a comune consists of 1 or several villages (in this case four or five, incl. Bocicoiu Mare and Lunca la Tisa), which have a single common mayor and administration. This is because some small villages (like 100 to 1000 people and only 10 to 30 sq km of land) do not have resourses to keep a school, services, officials, etc, separately. The councilmen would be elected from villages separately, e.g. two per village, so that each one's voice be heard. The villages have the option to organize a local referendum and separate. But usually the opposite happens, they want to join to achieve more together. According to this, there are 4 streets in the comune, called:
  • Necunoscuta (Unknown), with numbers and postal code
  • Sat Craciunesti (Village Craciunesti), idem
  • Sat Lunca la Tisa (Village Lunca la Tisa), idem
  • Sat Tisa (Village Tisa), idem
And, also see this, which officially confirms that there are only 4 villages, those above: Bocicoiu Mare, Tisa, Crăciuneşti, Lunca la Tisa. Area: 24,02 sq km, incl. 1,6 in localities (i.e. where there are houses) and 22,42 outside (i.e. forests, agriculture, etc). Population: 4,476. No of households: 1,366. No. of living quoters: 1,374 (apparently some people have two houses built near by). Kindergardens: 4. Schools: 6. No high school. Main economic activities: agriculture, manufacturing of bricks, woodcraft, comercial activities (meaning perhaps shops, etc). Interested to tourists: 1) etnographic museum "Pipas" in Tisa 2) Băile Crăciuneşti, i.e. Craciunesti baths with (apă mineralizată), i.e. mineralized water. 3) Movilă naturală, i.e. natural knoll. (Tax) facilities for investors (who): make bricks, use minaralized water, fitting of the leasure zone Tepliţa. Investement projects (by the state): 1) "rehabilitation" of he system of drinking water; 2) to asphalt and modernize the road Bocicoiu Mare - Lunca la Tisa.  :-) :Dc76 21:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Erdély elvesztését meg hülyeség szegény Lipót nyakába varrni, akkor már inkább Szapolyaiékat kéne megrugdalni, meg a Diploma előtt kb. 150 évig regnáló fejedelmeket.

[edit] Translation help?

Hi! I found your name on the translators list, and was wondering if you'd be able to help a bit with my attempt to expand Golubac fortress. I found this page, and have been told that it's probably Hungarian, rather than Romanian, but I can't read it either way. If you have the time to translate that (or summarize, or bullet points, or whatever else -- I realize it's kind of long, and I'm not picky, just looking for information.), it'd be much appreciated! As well, I found this short bit which I imagine doesn't say anything I don't already know, but it never hurts to double check. Thanks in advance, -Bbik 04:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I had actually already found the links for the Hungarian kings based on the dates, though don't know if I'll work either of them in specifically, but thanks for that, too. :) -Bbik 22:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi again! I found another page that I think might actually have something this time. All the boxes have several links too, though, and I don't have the foggiest idea what they are, though I'm guessing they're ads or something, since they're to a completely different website. If they're not, and there's actually more info in them, could you summarize what they're about, and I'll let you know which ones would be most useful to actually get all the details? Thanks! -Bbik 08:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles on Murnane

You once asked where I got James Allen's article on Smenkhkare. It is from a Univ. of Chicago web site which will publish a series of book featuring these series of online articles in honor of the late--and great--William Murnane (d.2000) sometime this year, I believe. Anyway, several more articles have been posted on this web site including an interesting new one by Van Dijk on Meketaten. This site basically has the latest research on Egyptological matters. Here is the link: [8] Regards, Leoboudv 07:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Madam, I am happy that you liked Dijk's article on Meketaten. May I ask what sections of Egyptology you are mostly interested in: is it the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, the New Kingdom, the Third Intermediate Period or the women of Ancient Egypt? I notice you have posted much good information on Ancient Egypt's many women. Personally, I am quite interested in Ancient Egyptian Chronology--I hope to see the new book by Erik Hornung and his team of specialists soon at my University--and also like the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period. Do you have easy access to specialised Egyptian serials like GM. Here in Vancouver Canada where I live, Egyptology is a minor subject--my University only recently ordered GM in 2005--and we have no Egyptology courses and only one real Egyptologist--Thomas Hikade. Before 2005, we only had JEA, BASOR, Orientalia and JNES, but little more serials that covered Ancient Egypt but little else. Regards, Fabian Leoboudv 09:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I too am an amateur on Egyptology. But my University has the second largest collection of books in Canada after the Univ. of Toronto. So, I have all the best books all the periods on Ancient Egypt. I just live far from my library and am no longer a regular university student. I have posted this review of Kitchen's TIPE book. Did you know Kitchen will publish a 4th updated edition of TIPE in April 2007. Thsi is unprecedented but show the popularity of his TIPE book. Here is my review of his 2nd edition 1986 TIPE book. [9] BTW, have you seen this large dispute about the touregypt.net reference site here. [10] If you wish to give a reply, you have to sign in though. Many people are angry that some Wikipedia administrator has decided to ban it because it contains links to some Ads. Personally, I believe strongly the harm it may cause is outweighed by the amount of material it gives. Regards, Leoboudv 01:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Alensha, Thank You for your comments. No, I don't plan to be an Egyptologist but a few years ago I was on a certain Egyptological Forum where one of the participants was Frederic Payraudeau, an Egyptologist who has written articles on thew Third intermediate Period in BIFAO, Rde, GM and JEA. He taught me a lot of important information about this era. That is why I know much about Kitchen's interpretation of the evidence as well as some major problems with his view. Since Kitchen will published a 4th edition of TIPE soon, I hope he has corrected his errors here. Today almost all scholars accept that king Takelot II was never a king of the 22nd Dynasty; he was rather a king of the 23rd Theban dynasty in Upper Egypt. And his son Osorkon B did indeed become king as Osorkon III contra KItchen's view that Osorkon B was outmaneuvered to the throne. Kitchen maintains taht the Thebans would never accept Osorkon B as their king but he fails to understand that if Thebes was involved in a civil war which lasted for 20+ years, most people would get weary and be willing to accept him as their king if he did indeed defeat 'his unnamed enemy' Shoshenq VI as Osorkon claims in a Karnak Quay text dated to Year 39 of Shoshenq III. They would do so to gain stability and peace in their lives. Today, Egyptologists have found the Tehna stela; this document actually calls Osorkon III a High Priest of Amun. That person can only be the High Priest Osorkon B. This means Osorkon III=the HPA Osorkon B. All Egyptologists including Aidan Dodson, Gerard Broekman, J. Von Beckerath, Jansen Winkeln, Rolf Krauss, etc have accepted this view--except Kitchen for the reasons I gave you. With kind Regards, Fabian Leoboudv 06:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

OMG, that poem is gorgeous! I'm going to set that one to music! :) Anyway, I'll take a closer look at the translation later tonight.

The thing I did with the DYK was, I accidentally nominated Ferenc Rákóczi instead of the new article. But I fixed it, much to Biru's dismay. :) K. Lásztocska 23:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] oops/éljen!

Uhh...we just accidentally won the contest w/ the Romanians, because Stupid Külföldi, a.k.a. yours truly, inadvertantly cheated, got her time zones mixed up and nominated the article three hours early. Goddammit, Biru is going to hate me for life. K. Lásztocska 18:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

....and never mind? as I was writing to you someone removed us from DYK because we didn't qualify. Ajjajjajjajj, I am confused....K. Lásztocska 18:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Right. On an unrelated theme, could we by any chance please get hu:Révai József and hu:Farkas Mihály onto en.wiki? I would appreciate it. Biruitorul 23:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll try to make some mention of them in the People's Republic of Hungary article, as they, together with Gerő and Rákosi, do appear to have formed the leading quartet, though with the latter in a dominant position.
I put in a pronunciation note for Labiş - at least I think that's how you do it. He is indeed a fine poet, and his article is one of my targets for expansion. I need to mention that the "accident" that killed him was almost certainly the work of the secret police, as he had opposed the regime during the protests in Romania in late 1956 and witnesses saw him being pushed under. Biruitorul 17:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] help

can you take a look at our szlovak friend's latest posting on the Hungarian noticeboard, he and I got into a dumb fight over Tamás Priskin's nationality and now I'm pretty sure he just insulted me in full view of everyone on the noticeboard. And he knows I can barely read Hungarian, which is why he wrote in Hungarian, just to expose me as the shameful charlatan and pseudo-Hungarian that I really am. K. Lásztocska 18:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, Priskin is a good footballer and plays for the national team (the HUNGARIAN one, I might point out--grr!) and even plays in the English Premier League now, so he definitely deserves a Wiki article. I did see all that mess on HuWiki--pretty stupid. Where does Mt7 get off, saying I and whoever else are "against Slovak-Hungarians"? I'm not against anyone, I was just trying to clean up what I thought was a silly-sounding sentence, and then this dumb war breaks out...

On an unrelated note, the Romanians won the contest so I had to alter my userpage--it's barely visible though. :) K. Lásztocska 22:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Alensha. User Mt7 started to revert and whitewash Hungarians in Slovakia articles, claiming all are Slovaks, LOL. I have reverted all his related edits and blocked him for 24 hours for 3RR violation on Tamás Priskin article. His actions should be more watched in the future.

[edit] Nicolas Sarkozy

Concerning the "castle" of the Sarkozy family, you can read this article published in February 2007. It is in french and gives the testimony not of the mayor but of a deputy ;) Best regards --Asaraft 08:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


Some historical info about the region of Alattyán & Jasz people

note: from the above article (given by Asaraft) it is understood that Sarkozy's family is originally from Bocsa, a small town which is in the south of Hungary. this is just an independent info about history of the region Alattyán, Jaszag, and maybe it should be re-placed as a separate article (if Alensha agrees of course)

The town is in the region "Jaszag" and its name comes from the people called "Jasz". Jasz people were originally Sarmatian, they were still speaking their unique language until 14th century. Sarmatians were a coalition of nomadic tribes and they invaded Europe from the north of Black Sea. Most of the scientists believe that King Arthur legend was revealed after Sarmatians. Except Jasz people, today the only Sarmatian people left are Ossetians (descendants of Alans) living in the North Caucasus.

In history there were three main tribes, Alans, Roxalans and Iasyges (the last one is actually our Jasz people) and they were speaking almost the same language. No written record left from the historical Jasz language, just one example. Within this example Jasz prince salutates Hungarian king and this salute is still easily understood by modern Ossetian language.

There is a strong ground for King Arthur theory, as 5.500 Iasyges cavalrymen were sent to north Britain by Romans to defend the Hadrian Wall against local tribes. Sarmatians were superior warriors as heavy cavalry regiments. They were almost same as the medieval knights, but about 1000 years before the medieval times. Historians tell that they were the main inspiration for medieval knigthood in terms of their armors, fighting skills and manners.

Sarmatians were also the inspiration for Polish nobility in the middle ages. Polish noble families believed that their ancestors were Sarmatians and they tried to adopt a Sarmatian way of life with their equestrian features and garmants, which was derived from the nomadic cavalrymen (such as a long coat and leather boots, cavalryman hood made by fur and a long sabre).

The most famous leader of the historical Jasz people was legendary Lehel. Historical records show that he was not from the Arpad dynasty. Lehel had a horn, and a legend says that he rushed and killed the German emperor with that horn when he was captured by them (for that story you may read the section "Lehel" in wikipedia, I do not know how to make a direct citation). The first interesting thing is, horn is also a sacred item in modern Ossetians. The second one, when Lehel killed the emperor he said: "you will die before me and become my slave in the other world", as he knew that they will kill him after his action. This pagan belief was common among Sarmatians, and also Scythians, a group of nomadic people who were relatives of the Sarmatians. Partly chipped horn is kept in Jaszbereny Museum.

[edit] RMDSZ

Szia Alensha. I've been helping Dahn correct the spelling of RMDSZ politicians at User:Dahn/Templates. However, I'm still unsure about a few of them:

  • "Laszlo Borbely" — I can say for certain that the correct seplling is László, but I'm not sure about the surname. Is it "Borbély"?
  • Hajdu Gábor — has two articles about him on the Romanian Wikipedia: Menyhért Hajdu Gabor and Menyhért Gábor Hajdu. "Gábor" is probably his given name, as it translates to "Gabriel" in English. However, it might be his surname, what do you think?

If you could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Khoikhoi 00:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Two more:
  • Ákos Birtalan — is there any connection with the given name "Bertalan" (nickname "Berti")?
  • Francisc Baranyi — now this is an interesting one. I knew someone called Feri (pronounced "fedie", right?), so I assumed that his name was Ferenc. However, I remember seeing his name spelled "Francisc" somewhere, which I assumed was simply a typo for Francisco (he moved to Mexico). However, is Francisc a Hungarian name? What is the English equivalent? Also, I'm pretty sure "Francisc Baranyi" isn't the correct spelling in Hungarian.
Thanks again, Khoikhoi 21:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I see. What confuses me is that an RMDSZ member can have a Hungarian surname (Baranyi), but a non-Hungarian given name ("Francisc"). As for Feri, I had always thought that the nickname was indeed pronounced "fedie"—are there any Hungarian nicknames that sound similar to that? Khoikhoi 22:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
There are two different people with this name: the first is the one that I knew personally, and the second is the RMDSZ member. I suppose it's more likely that he was called Feri, since Francisco = Francis = Ferenc. Khoikhoi 22:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, check out this. I'm guessing his Hungarian given name is László, but I thought "Gergely" was a given name as well. Khoikhoi 01:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

See Vasile Luca. :-) Khoikhoi 12:34, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm, I see your point. BTW, it should say "born László Luka" instead, right? Khoikhoi 12:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm constantly having to archive it. Oh well. Khoikhoi 13:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oszkár Jászi

Hey Alensha, I guess I have another question. I was reading the Constantin Mille article, and noticed the sentence "Again present in Transylvania in 1921, he notably met and conversed with Hungarian historian and sociologist Oscar Jászi." This spelling is supported by the book A Twentieth-Century Prophet: Oscar Jászi 1875-1957 by György Litván. However, I noticed here that he spelled his name "Oszkár Jászi", which is the correct spelling of his name. However, he's what I discovered using Google:

Google Books:

Google Scholar:

In my opinion, the article should remain at Oszkár Jászi, but do you think it should be renamed to the more common spelling, even though it's wrong? Khoikhoi 22:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again! Khoikhoi 04:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alensha, I see you reverted my edit Kassa > Kosice.

How did you learn to type hieroglyphs for certain Wikipedia articles? I can't find a manual at all. Leoboudv 08:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll give it a try soon hopefully. The thing is I wish there was a hieroglyph for the nomen and/or prenomen of the 21st Dynasty kings Siamun or Amenemope. I don't know if all the signs for their names are in the Gardiner's list Captmondo gave. Regards, Leoboudv 05:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow. Thanks for the tip on the Spanish Wikipedia web site. I'll check it with the official one given in Peter Clayton's book--Chronicle of the Pharaohs. Leoboudv 05:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Meketaten

Hello there:

I just wanted to pass along kudos for the good work you are doing on various Amarna-era princesses. Inspired, I managed to find a photo I had not yet posted to WikiMedia that I had taken while visiting the Brooklyn Museum earlier in the year. You may find a few other images of Amarna-era princesses on Wikimedia, though I have done my best to slot those images I have taken into that category. You may find it useful to browse through the gallery of the pics I have taken, as you may be able to find a few other useful images there. You can find everything here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Captmondo/gallery.

I had a quick look at several of the articles and I could find no fault with how things are phrased in English -- your English is arguably better than some native-speaker's additions I've run across. ;-) Some articles are weak when it comes to explicitly citing their sources, and Meketaten is one of them. I also wonder whether or not the tomb paintings you reference may in fact be those representing Kiya, as the descriptions sound similar. Without citing the source I can't independently check to see if that's the case.

Cheers! Captmondo 16:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meritamen (wife of Amenhotep I)

Hi,

Just a little note -- don't worry if you accidentally create an article at a wrong title. Even if nothing links to the resulting redirect, it is still useful (as a possible alternative search term, for referencing indices, etc.) In general, Wikipedia's philosophy is "redirects are cheap" -- unless a redirect is clearly unrelated, nonsense, or hopelessly ambiguous, it is left in place. I've removed your speedy tag from this particular one. Thanks for helping Wikipedia grow! :) Best wishes, Xoloz 04:28, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] B/b H/h

Szia Alensha!

Don't get me wrong, I think her choice to write her name in all lowercase is a terribly pretentious bit of radical-chic and quite the silly affectation. On the other hand, Wikipedia is supposed to report on things as they are, not how we wish they were. (Otherwise I would have changed "Franz" Liszt's name to Ferenc long ago. LOL) The best parallel example I can think of is e. e. cummings. Yes, it's grammatically incorrect, and perhaps silly, but that's how he wrote his name and we shouldn't mess with it. I just hope she doesn't go any further with her name-changing: I'd hate to have to refer to bell hooks all the time.. ;-) K. Lásztocska 15:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] szívesen :)

No problem, luv. I nominated a handful of others as well (Biru, István, and Monsieur Doria from the Liszt wars). Incidentally, have you seen the drama on the high seas that Biru and I are writing in our spare time? It's going to be a Wiki legend, I promise. :-)

I've been meaning to ask you, would you be interested in the eventual drive to get Prague Spring to FA status? Repeating our 56 success and all, only this time with Czechs. We're tentatively planning a mid- to late-August start (or once all the Czechs get back online, István's life gets back to normal, and we can all find enough books between us.) Interested?

Till then I'm trying to focus more on musical matters: I've rewritten our good compatriot Joseph Szigeti's article, and hoping--again--for FA. I need to improve it still, though, and I've been meaning to properly cite my sources (page numbers and all) for about two weeks. If I haven't at least started on it by tomorrow night, kick me!! ;-) K. Lásztocska 15:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


I used to be a huge Egypt geek...gave it up eventually though. :( I'm still a Trekkie, though, so there's one more thing we have in common. ;-)

I'm not an expert on the Prague Spring either, that's what research is for. :) I'll have some nice blocks of spare time this summer (though not much for a few weeks) in which to read up on my Czech history--I was careful to propose the project long enough in advance that we'll have time to research and work at a less frantic pace than on 56.....that was one hell of a mad dash.

[edit] Yay for interwiki barnstars

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
I've gotten plenty of greetings on my interwiki accounts (37 total, including en), but yours was the first one that (a) responded entirely in English and (b) actually took into account the fact that I'm not a wiki-newbie. Thanks for the very pleasant surprise. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Székely

AAAAAHHH Alensha I miss you!! :( I haven't seen you forever--you're so busy single-handedly writing Wikipedia's coverage of Ancient Egypt. If you don't mind a brief return to Hungarian matters, I have a question for you: do you happen to know anything about the origin/etymology of the word "Székely"? I posted something about it on Talk:Székely, but I might be totally wrong (and I hope this isn't something that is such common knowledge it makes me look dumb for not knowing.) I hope you are well, and stay cool in the heat wave!! love, K. Lásztocska Review me? 04:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Kösz. I suppose even wild guesses can be worked into encyclopedic format somehow--maybe under the heading "etymological theories" or perhaps more accurately "etymological speculation". K. Lásztocska Review me? 16:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Ahhh, and I just noticed your post on my editor review. Thanks so much, you are so sweet! (I don't know when I've ever been called any sort of angel before, much less a guardian angel!) ;-) I'm probably not going to run for admin this fall, actually, I was going to but decided I was still too uncertain and I have plenty to deal with in real life this fall. Maybe around New Years I'll run? K. Lásztocska Review me? 16:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Random and non-Wiki-related: I just came across this article and it scared the szar out of me. I think it was the description of the uniforms that got me--sounds like the f*cking Arrow Cross all over again. You know better than I do what the current political atmosphere in Hungary is--PLEASE tell me everyone's just going to roll their eyes and laugh this off, and it isn't the beginning of a descent into fascism!?

[edit] The mother of Ramesses IV and VI

Dear Alensha, Do you know if Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton's book on Egypt's Royal Families lists the names of the mother of king Ramesses IV and Ramesses VI? A new Wikipedia subscriber named GM Cupertino has written that their mother was Iset Ta-Hemdjert but as far as I know this is certainly wrong. Ramesses IV and VI were sons of Ramesses III but by other queens of Ramesses III. Cupertino has made many claims on the royal geneaologies of Egypt's kings based on a 1991 paper by Christian Settpani. Some are correct but many are exaggerated, highly speculative or slightly outdated. Leoboudv 21:39, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

If Dodson Dodson & Hilton's book says Iset Ta-Hemdjert is the mother of Ramesses IV and VI, then the matter is settled. I had the impression Ramesses IV and VI were different branches of Ramesses III's family....but I did not modify Iset Ta-Hemdjert 's page because I don't know the truth. Cupertino posts much geneaological information on Wikipedia but he is perhaps a French speaker since his edits are quite repetitious or very long in English. He simply follows Settipani's 10991 paper uncritically like when he makes Siptah the son of Twosret, rather than Sutailja or Pimay the successor of Shoshenq III rather than Shoshenq IV. These are wrong ideas now. I corrected these errors---that was why I thought maybe he made the same mistake on Iset Ta-Hemdjert. Thank You for clarifying the issue. Leoboudv 19:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Alensha, I created a page on Ramessesnakht, the High Priest of Amun at Thebes who served from the reign of Ramesses IV up to the Ramesses IX and possibly Ramesses X. If you wish, you can list some of Aidan Dodson's comments on him. All that I know is he was still alive in the final years of Ramesses VI and likely VII. He was succeeded by his son Amenhotep who served in office as High Priest during the first half of Ramesses XI's reign. He is an important person because the centralisation of power under the Amun priesthood really started under his tenure. Regards, Leoboudv 23:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Alensha, You're right unfortunately on Ramessesnakht. I hope my short article on him mentions his importance. I don't know the hieroglyph for High Priest of Amun. On Semenmedjatre, I nominated it for deletion. Would you like to second it here? [12] No one is ever going to type in Semenmedjatre for Semenenre at all, that's for sure. That is why it should just be removed from Wikipedia. Leoboudv 20:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Alensha or Anita? The name Semenre or Semenenre is also attested on an axe balde from the Second Intermediate Period according to Kim Ryholt. I don't have access to his book right now and can't cite the precise page; I can only say this: according to Ryholt's study, his prenomen is Smenre and no mention occurs for his nomen. This is in stark contrast to the situation with Seuserenre Bebiankh, Semenenre's successor who ruled Egypt for 12 yrs according to the Turin Canon. He left behind a partly damaged stela from a mining expedition during his reign. Fortunately, the undamaged portion preserves both his prenomen and nomen: Seuserenre Bebiankh. IMO, Semendjaatre (sorry I can't even spell this complex name correctly) is just a mistake someone made early in Wikipedia's lifetime...and should be deleted. As an Aside, Wikipedia claims it has 1.956 million English entries but pls don't be misled--a small percentage are likely redirects. Thanks for your excellent conversation and your excellent library of books. Myself, I have only Grimal's A History of Ancient Egypt, Joyce Tyldesley's study of Ramesses II and Hatchepsut/Hatshepsut and KA Kitchen's 1995 edition of TIPE. The rest, I copy from my University in Vancouver or my local Library in Surrey, B.C. Leoboudv 00:06, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Akhenaten & Muwatalli

There is an excellent on-line article titled 'The failed reforms of Akhenaten and Muwatalli' by I. Singer that the British Museum has posted online. See here: [13] Are you an EEF member? There is lots of discussion about the latest archaeological finds/resources. I did not know about this on-line resource until EEF mentioned it in their weekly news update. Singer's article is in British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan Vol. 6 (2006). Both Akhenaten of Egypt and Muwatalli II of Hatti founded a new capital city--Tarhuntassa for the latter --in their reigns and instituted a number of reforms only to have them reversed by their successors. Here are other online BMAES electronic paper: [14] Regards, Fabian Leoboudv 00:05, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Anita, Did you see the Wikipedia front page notice that they now have 2 million articles. It seems great at first...until you realize that some articles are duplicates of other articles and others have minimal content. Sadly, there are lots of crackpots and vandals on Wikipedia. I wonder if Citizendium is any better? I have heard that they too have experienced vandalism problems. Also, Citizendium is rather slow: they don't even one article on any of the Ramesside kings...unbelievable. (I just checked) Maybe, that is why Wikipedia's open format style is more popular to users: you get more articles uploaded daily by users.

Anyway, if you care about Hittite affairs, the best BMAES story is the one by Trevor Bryce, the noted Hittitologist on the supposed Hattusili III-Ramesses II "peace treaty." [15] As Bryce correctly notes, this is a misnmomer. Hattusili was actually desperate to gain diplomatic recognition for his unexpected reign over that of his nephew Urhi Teshub (Mursili III) whom he had deposed. So, its more a treaty that openly acknowledged Ramesses II's acceptance of Hattusili III as the new king of Egypt. Bryce is a great psychologist: he gives us a Hittite king's motives. The BMAES issue here is a surprising; ostemsibly, it is supposed to deal with Egyptian and Sudanese (ie: Kushite) matters, not Hittite affairs, but I guess Hittite topics fall under the Egyptian component. Fabian Leoboudv 21:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad you liked the British Museum article by Bryce. It is definitely an excellent paper. BTW, thanks for backing me up on that Semen...re article. It was removed sometime ago here: [16] Even Iridescent changed his mind to Delete after searching for primary sources on this person and finding none.

[edit] Request to add your opinion/vote to renaming of KV62 -> Tomb of Tutankhamen

As someone whose opinion I value, I am asking if you would take a peek at Talk:KV62, and voice your opinion on the suggested move. I am not trying to solicit an Oppose vote, but instead am trying am asking people who have an active interest in things Ancient Egyptian to contribute to the talk as well. Cheers! Captmondo 17:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for adding your opinion/vote to the Talk:KV62 re: KV62 -> Tomb of Tutankhamen. I wanted to solicit opinions/votes from those I thought might have a real interest in the issue. Ultimately the main thrust of the argument for centers around WP:NC, which I think is being too broadly applied in this instance (but that's my opinion). Thanks also for the reply on my page, and I wish in retrospect that you had mentioned your own experience with the article on the Hungarian wiki, since I think some multi-language perspective is useful (one of my own arguments referenced the chaos on Wikimedia Commons given the multiple names for "Tut" across languages). Though I read more oppose votes than for, in the end there was no consensus (a simple majority may not apply in this case) to move, so there's every chance the debate will continue sometime in the future. Cheers! Captmondo 11:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the additional comments Alensha!

[edit] Neferneferuaten

I'm afraid I don't, Alensha/Anita. The hieroglyphs for Neferneferuaten were the best I could find since this is a newly discovered king--who doesn't even figure in Peter Clayton's 1994 Chronicle of the Pharaohs. Its a reasonable approximation of her prenomen. If you can improve it, go ahead. Leoboudv (talk) 10:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Dear Alensha/Anita, I talked the matter of Neferneferuaten's precise prenomen with someone on EEF. He sent me a PDF of Rainer Hannig's HWB book which has the CORRECT royal names for the late 18th dynasty and early 19th dynasty kings. In short, Neferneferuaten's nomen on Wikipedia is wrong! Hannig's German book is called 'Grosses Handwörterbuch Ägyptisch-Deutsch. Die Sprache der Pharaonen, 2800 - 960 v. Chr.' by Philipp von Zabern, 1995; 2nd edition 1997, 1473 pages and seems comprehensive. I've seen this pecific comment on the book: [It's] Not cheap, but a terrific have (if you can read German). The next best thing after the monumental WB (the 'Wörterbuch der Ägyptische Sprache'(1926-1953) of Erman-Grapow). More than 1400 pp, including some great appendices. This 'HWB' covers the language from the Old Kingdom to 500 BC, so you can use it on Late-Period and Ramesside texts.

I apologise if this is hurried but I am in a major University course at UBC and don't have much time for hieroglyphs. Just ignore Hannig's chronology or equation of Smenkhkare with Neferneferuaten; they are both separate kings since they are royal nomens. Of course Hannig's book was first published in 1995--while Neferneferuaten's existence as a new female king distinct from the male king Smenkhkare was only established in 2003/2004 by Egyptologists. PS: I am 8 hours ahead of you so maybe its 9:17 PM in continental Europe. Its 1:17 PM here in Vancouver. Regards, Leoboudv 21:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

As an Aside, I was looking at your talk page and I can't believe Wikipedia deleted an image of Miskolc's flag that you uploaded. I mean that's a real place.

[edit] Misinformation

Hi, on the Hungarian wikipedia, I noticed this phrase:

"A Chyna Girl című dalt feldolgozta a S.H.E együttes (Super Star címmel), valamint Skye Sweetnam is."

As "feldolgozta" probably means "was recorded by", "együttes" meaning "band", I think this sentence attempts to state that Chyna Girl was covered, which is false. Robert Rosan produced "Super Star" (August 2003) before Adagio was even recorded (2004). It's kind of hard to prove foresight; how can you say that S.H.E covered Chyna Girl when Chyna Girl wasn't even recorded yet? If anything, Sweetbox re-released Super Star as Chyna Girl. It even says on a press release (Use Chinese Traditional Big5 encoding) from the group's label, HIM International Music:

(Chinese) After the second comma in the second paragraph:
專輯同名主打歌可是耗費百萬巨額製作費，由德國SWEETBOX製作人GEO特地為S.H.E量聲定作的

Translation:
The title song of the album cost a lot of production money, because Germany's Geo especially wrote this song for S.H.E.

I can't write in Hungarian, so if you can rectify this, that'd be great. (If I read the sentence wrong, my apologies. But you can still use the citation, I guess). Pandacomics (talk) 23:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I haven't had the priveledge to intereact with you in the past, or at least I do not racall it, like I know Istvan, Lastochka, KIBD, Fz22. The EE/CE issues are very heated on WP, including such ugly things as Polish vs Lithuanian. Fortunately, however, Hungarian-Romanian stuff have been kept very civilized, due in big part to very dedicated and civilized users I just named. However, WP will grow, and new people will come. Chances are we will see a lot of idiots/fanatics/uneducated coming in the future, and it is not impossible for them to steer the things just enough to get close to the Polish-Lithuanian thing. I would like you to know that there are many Romanians who are keen to avoid this kind of dangerous spinning. We can weigh in, just let us know when anything happens. I am only speaking in my name now, but I am sure if you would tell Biruitorul, AdrianTM, MariusM, Dpotop, Dahn, Turgidson, Eurocopter_Tigre, Roamataa, Ronline of any problem, they won't be very helpful. Anyway, it is a priviledge to know that we have risen above the degrading situations in other parts, and can be given as a positive example.

[edit] The parents of Ramesses IX

Dear Alensha, Does Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton ever state who were the parents of Ramesses IX in their book on the Royal families of Ancient Egypt? I have only Nicolas Grimal's book, A History of Ancient Egypt, and Grimal does not mention this issue. Some people have suggested that Montuherkhopshef (son of Ramesses III), a son of Ramesses III was Ramesses IX's father since Mentuhirkhepsf was married to a king's mother named Takhat. But I don't know if this is false or true. I don't even know if Mentuhirkhepsf was really married to a king's moter named Takhat. Many people have strange ideas on Wikipedia but you have Dodson and Hilton's book. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 09:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

PS: You are a Trekkie? I did not know that...until now. I am a fan of Star Trek TOS, TNG and DS9. I'm afraid Star Trek slowly went downhill with Voyager and Enterprise. Around December 17, 2007, CBS fired a whole bunch of staffers who maintained the startrek.com website and now no new Star Trek film reviews of any series are posted there. It tells me CBS doesn't really care about Star Trek. I guess ST was a phase--very popular from 1966 to 1999 when DS9 ended and much less popular now in the 21st Century. New leading edge sci-fi shows like Battlestar Galactica have far surpassed it today. Maybe JJ Abrams can revive the new Star Trek franchise with his new film but I doubt it. Once a series falls in popularity, people usually tune it out. But I wish him the best. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 08:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Alensha. I suspected that the "King's Mother" Takhat was Ramses IX's mother because she is the only person whose son is unknown. It would be nice to know that Mentuhirkhepsef was the father of a king. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 18:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alensha, If you upload an image, you have to give a rationale now or it will be deleted in 7 days. See this excellent rationale: [18] Hope this helps, Leoboudv (talk) 09:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems album covers will be deleted anyway so I stopped uploading them. From now I don't think I'll write about anything else than Ancient Egypt in enwiki, since basically everything else I write gets deleted and they don't even notify me about the deletion... At least in huwiki I can keep an eye on tings. – Alensha talk 18:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

There is a new article called battle of the Delta which is connected to Ramesses III when that pharaoh fought the Sea Peoples. You may wish to link it to huwiki--both to Rmss III and the actual article itself: Battle of the Delta. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 05:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

[edit] Fordítás

szia, ha szabad ilyet kérdeznem, miket fordítasz a való világban? azért érdekel, mert én is fordító volnék, de egyáltalán nem könnyű itt Bp-n könyv/filmfordítást szerezni. Pá. Gregorik (talk) 23:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

köszi. ezekből a fordítói adatbázisokból csurranó-cseppenő dolgokból amúgy meg is lehet élni? A. Gregorik (talk) 12:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

ezt értem, de tényleg regényeket és forgatókönyveket fordítasz? (amiket asszem a legeslegnehezebb megszerezni.) vagy egyéb dolgokat? A. Gregorik (talk) 20:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hungarian-Slovak poll

Hi Alensha, you might like to know that there's a poll going on about modifications to the Hungarian-Slovak naming convention proposed earlier. Voting is open until 11 May 20:06. Markussep Talk 14:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
