[edit] Modern Latin

You wrote:

  • something about contemporary uses of the Latin language for communication, which could be called neolatin or modern Latin, although those terms are often used to refer simply to Latin after a particular historical period (not necessarily in the present day); maybe particular neolatinists like Andrew Gollan, Hans Oerberg, Nancy Llewellyn, and Father Reginald Foster.

I would support this, but I suspect a lot of other Wikipedians will want to shoot it down. I've gotten away with it on la: because, well, it's obviously relevant there. See La:Auctores neolatini and La:Categoria:Auctores Neolatini for stuff on authors specifically. Having a paralel category on en: could help with things like this. --Iustinus 05:49, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orkut

If you haven't run out of invites, could I get one? --Vizcarra 18:02, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Yup, it's by invitation. I've got an invite for google e-mail and I've got one, but I haven't got one for Orkut. --Vizcarra 02:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Check out the Babel-3 template

Hi Seth. You might want to take a look at the {{Babel-3}} template for the "Languages" section on your user page. It looks a little funky right now. Here's what your page would look like with the template:

Wikipedia:Babel
en This user is a native speaker of English.
la-2 Hic utilisator media latinitate contribuere potest.
pt-2 Este usuário/utilizador pode contribuir com um nível médio de português.

P.S. We actually hung out a couple times when I lived in Berkeley. I came over to S.F. and we went to Bolerium Books to look at an old Voltairine de Cleyre volume (I think it was The Worm Turns, or the posthumous collection of her writings). We also went to Grand View Park (I think it was that park at least). Mike Dillon 17:50, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! Good to hear from you, Mike. Schoen 18:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Wannsee-room.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wannsee-room.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 00:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I find it very ironic that this long explanation of licensing was given to Seth Schoen. Seth knows more about copyright issues than anyone else I've met personally. Made me laugh. Mike Dillon 01:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the tag from Seth's image so that it won't get deleted prematurely. Given his knowledge of copyright, I'm sure he will license his self-published images appropriately next time he has a chance, but I don't want to risk the images being deleted because he doesn't log in to check. Mike Dillon 03:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I actually don't know what German copyright law would say about taking pictures in a museum of documents that are original works of the wartime Nazi government. However, I did finally apply GFDL tags to all my Wannsee pictures. Thanks for the reminders. Schoen 05:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks so much for the revision of the Itaipu article! It's much better now. -- VdSV9•♫ 14:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for translation

Thanks so much for your work on Referendum concerning the prohibition of the sale of firearms and ammunition. There is very little information available on this in English, and you've really done a valuable service in translating this.--Pharos 14:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the devil's in...

You should publish User:Schoen/The world, the flesh, and the devil into the main name space. Even if it's not complete, you can tag it with {{cleanup}} and let others get to it. —mako (talk•contribs) 14:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flesh

Google brought me to your subpage on the world, the flesh, and the devil. The article on flesh was nominated for deletion, and I have been seeking to improve it. I brazenly helped myself to some of your citations, so I thought I'd leave a note to thank you. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:16, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Great minds think alike. I began wondering where the phrase "the world, the flesh, and the devil" originated as soon as I learned that it was apparently not a direct Bible quotation. I do not have an answer, but I mean to look. - Smerdis of Tlön 03:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map of the Portuguese Empire

Hello Schoen! The map I did for the Portuguese Empire was done using the information presented at Evolution of the Portuguese Empire. That's how I did it. That and with the help/comments of other editor regarding more specific locations (such as Brazil or Indonesia), as you can see in the talk page and in the map's talk page. I find nothing equivalent for the Spanish Empire, sorry! Regarding your questions about the map you are making, I would prefer to see the treaty lines drawn against the eventual colonial territories, because in this way you can see the historical areas of de facto influence, rather than the more reduced areas of present linguistic spread of Portuguese or Spanish. Good luck! The Ogre 15:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your draft has been drafted

I have, without shame, taken the draft article that you were working on at User:Schoen/Sequence of tenses, added to it, and moved it into the main article namespace at sequence of tenses. I hope that you don't mind. I needed a discussion of the sequence of tenses (in English) at the Administrators' Noticeboard, so I indulged in a little writing Wikipedia articles to prove a point. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 16:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
