[edit] Response

Thanks for getting back to me about Flaming turquoise. I've marked the page for deletion and it should be cleared away soon. I appreciate your work here on Wikipedia and really appreciate your reasonable response to my warnings. Leave the jokes to user space and keep up the good work!

[edit] Bulgarian-Latin Wars and Byzantine-Bulgarian Wars

Hi! You've done a great job with those two articles! They cover the topics well, and especially the one related to Byzantium is very thorough while remaining concise. Here are some suggestions:

  1. {{cite book}} is a good way to cite your sources, so they could all have a single, unified formatand be easier to browse.
  2. Generally don't capitalize all words in section headings.
  3. Make sure you add the article to the relevant categories (the Bulgarian-Latin Wars one had no categories).
  4. Don't link years, centuries, decades in most cases, but do link full dates.
  5. Regarding long articles with many sections, try to organize them as tidy and logical as possible, so they could be easier to read (I think the Bulgarian-Byzantine Wars needs some restructuring).

Well, that's it mostly. Bulgarian history is quite underrepresented in Wikipedia (and until recently was very underrepresented), so I hope we could work together to have a good coverage of this extensive topic in the future. Best regards, Todor→Bozhinov 15:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


Hey you posted me in December about clean-up of one of my articles ive checked it and could you tell me what the hells wrong with it. Thanks King Alaric

Hey its User:king Alaric, I am still trying to sort out this artical on the Roman wars with Antiochus, ive deleted the piece on the battle at Magnesia like was suggested, however you seem to think a better title might be the Roman-Syrain wars i came to change this but i dont know how to change a pages main title if you could tell me i would be most grateful.

Greetings! There are four new battles between Bulgaria and Byzantium (Ongala, Skopie, Spercheios, Solun) which are not added in the template. I do not know how to add them, so would you do that? --Gligan 20:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Greetings! I would like to ask you is it a good idea to divide the battles of the Byzantine-Bulgarian Wars in the same manner like those in the Byzantine-Arab Wars. If you agree, we may discuss the possible division and improve the template. Regards, --Gligan 18:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking very much like you for the division . The only difference was that I did not think of a separate section for Krum's wars, but the idea is very good provided that there are even two more battle in these wars (but 1st Adrianople is the same as Versinikia, so we should remove it). The battle of Ostrovo may go to Samuil-Basil wars, as Peter Dalyan was of Samuil's kin, or we may create a seperate section for Bulgarian rebelions (there was another unsuccessful battle near Solun in 1040). In general I agree with your division: ) Best, --Gligan 10:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title change

Many Thanks for altering the title of the Roman- Syrain war and i look forward to seeing it being developed. However this page has caused me a major headache im sticking to the Punic wars from now on!!! User:king Alaric

[edit] Warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Jesus, are considered vandalism and are immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. --Just James 04:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant to revert the changes my friend made, but you were too quick. Slow down there; I mean Jesus no harm. I love him! Crispus 04:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus

Hello. Before making potentially controversial edits, such as those you made to Jesus, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. Deville (Talk) 04:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Compromised account?

Greetings -- I was suspecting this might be a compromised account, since you have nothing but a long and excellent edit history, and was just about to block it and post a note at WP:ANI -- were you letting a friend mess around? If that was all it was, no problem. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 04:52, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem... we've had a lot of password crackers recently, so a lot of us are on the lookout for this kind of thing. Antandrus (talk) 04:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awards

Image:Bstar 500+.jpg
For making a difference! Hmm... I am going to have to make a 1500+ for you. This Barnstar isn't free, as payment please give this star to at least 3-5 others with 500+ edits but no barnstar; then encourage them to give it to 3-5 others that deserve it.

[edit] Help needed with template

Hi,

You may have noticed that an unpleasant edit war has erupted between myself and a newbie user over a template you created, Template:Notable Rulers of Sumer.

The other user, User:Sumerophile, has repeatedly switched the template to be right-justified in the past 2 weeks, and moves the template to the top of the article. Many if not most of these articles are stubs and this causes a long line of boxes extending down the right side of the article many screens longer than the text itself.

Moreover, the information on the template is not suitable for an infobox style. It is a list of related articles and should be at the bottom of an article near the "See also" section, as with other such templates.

He has simply brushed aside my arguments and continues to enforce his own idea of where the template should go over my reverts, causing blocks and warnings for both of us as a result of the ensuing edit war. I have tried in vain to solicit any discussion about this from a third party. Can you please offer your views on this and help us come to a resiolution or consensus?
