[edit] Cultural relationship between the Welsh and the English

Just curious as to your reasoning for changing "native inhabitants" to "earlier inhabitants". Do you have the same view about "Native Americans", for instance? Would you prefer "indigenous"? Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Re "invasion" and "displacement" - not true, I think ... anyway, "earlier" is very weak and I'd rather change it to "existing" or "indigenous" inhabitants. I don't speak Welsh at all - although I have distant Welsh antecedents and live here now, I was born and lived most of my life in England, which is what makes me interested in the relationship.

[edit] religious nationalism

As an editor of the article Nationalism, please note that the section Religious Nationalism has now been separated from the main article into its own article Religious nationalism. Please join in and help bring this newly formed article up to standard. Especially important is avoiding a Systemic Bias and adding Citations.

[edit] Hello there

How are you doing these days? Still listening to Scandinavian metal? Seen Opeth lately? Do you work on Tajik articles these days? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 18:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I saw some youtube clips of some Finnish metal bands a while ago and I was quite impressed I have to say. WHat is the Tajik connection with you. To the UK having a fluency of the language is quite unusual, do you have Tajik ancestry or something? I tried adding some of the towns and villages a few weeks back but there doesn't seme that much info available on them ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Do you recognize any articles in Category:Cities, towns and villages in Tajikistan which have more informative articles on Tajik wiki? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Khojaly Monument.jpg

Hello Francis. Recently you removed the above image from article Khojaly Massacre. You indicated that it is not particularly appropriate at the top of the page. Well, I think the monument is the only available material at Wikipedia to illustrate the article, and is the only free available image of the monument that can be found on Commons. This being said, do you think we should include the image in the article at all or maybe wait until the deletion request settles? Thanks --Kimse (talk) 20:35, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

The article is about the massacre, and not about the city. So, since we don't have the images from the massacre itself appropriately licensed for commons, it leaves us with only this image to use. Or do you have anything in mind to suggest that could be use from Armenian side? We also could use some images from other languages under Fair Use, but I think they'll get deleted anyway. About the mentioned deletion request, do you know how long they usually last? --Kimse (talk) 22:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I think a city photo would rather be used in Khojali instead of in Khojaly Massacre. Have you seen the images on the subject from other languages? I think this monument image is as neutral addition as it can get, at least for now. In my search of other visual materials for this article, I stumbled upon one from Askeran. Take a look at the article's image, it's close but in my opinion it's not exactly related to the massacre.

As a comparison, let's take a look at (1) Virginia Tech massacre. They don't have images of just the campus there, they have images of mourning students, a satellite photo, student's taking cover and an interim memorial photo besides many others. And (2), Auschwitz concentration camp doesn't just have images of the Polish city of Oświęcim, but also of the sight of the camp, satellite photo, maps, and several memorials. Therefore, I think the Image:Khojaly Monument.jpg is a good visual representation of the article for now. And when more free licensed images become available with time, more of them can be used in the article. I rest my case! :) --Kimse (talk) 23:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
