Objective criteria for episode notability

I've attempted to synthesize the discussion. Again, feedback welcome.Kww (talk) 18:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

On 16 February, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Constantina, wife of Maurice, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Adminship

Adminship Thanks for the thought (I know it was also kind of tongue in cheek referring to the number that had to be patrolled) but of course I was suggested for adminship well over a year and a half ago and I turned it down although I could use some of the admin tools certainly. I've put in ten times more edits that many admins on here, but I prefer to contribute purely encyclopedically and not get too tied down with debates and administrative which often makes me feel bad about wikipedia when some people are uncivil etc, I'm sure you know what I mean! i find it silly that nobody will flag my account given my contributions -it would save new page patrol a lot of work!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 19:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Archiving Your Talk Page

Would you like me to archive your talk page?--TrUCo⁹31¹ 20:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject Greece

You have added the Wikipedia:WikiProject Greece template to talk pages for (1) articles about non-Greek entities that have Greek-derived names and (2) articles that mention or discuss the Greek language derivation of certain English words, but that otherwise appear to have nothing to do with Greece. Do you have reason to think that Fear of youth, Ephebophilia, Orpheion, and Omophagia belong in this wikiproject, or were these automated edits? (There may be other examples like these...) --Orlady (talk) 13:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually I have added articles that were already in Category:Ancient Greece or disambiguation pages included within. The category and its contents are relevant to thw WikiProject which also covers the Greek language. Dimadick (talk) 13:07, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

• On that basis, I see the value of keeping Orpheion and Omophagia in that wikiproject. Fear of youth and Ephebophilia probably got included due to a link from a page related to the root word Ephebos. I see no reason for Wikiproject Greece to need (or want) to fool with these articles, so I removed the Wikiproject templates. --Orlady (talk) 14:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Euphemia, wife of Justin I

On 6 March, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Euphemia, wife of Justin I, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Electoral histories

Hi there, I see that you have been editing many of the same pages that User:Darth Kalwejt has. I have a question regarding your views on "Electoral history" sections on politicans pages, information that Darth Kalwejt has added to just about every American politician Wikipedia article. Do you support them, and do you support their formats (there are many different formats, but do you support any?)? I suppose they could be beneficial in certain instances, but I am largely opposed to how they are currently being used and presented (see my comments here). Anyway, I'm just curious as to what you think; a reply would be very helpful. Thanks, Happyme22 (talk) 06:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't care much for them. They seem to be mostly duplicating information from other articles. I am just correcting misspelling of names. Dimadick (talk) 06:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay thanks for your reply. I've been trying to contact Dath Kalwejt but he hasn't responded. Thanks again, Happyme22 (talk) 17:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Crusades task force

Hi Dimadick, I notice you've been adding a lot of WPMA templates; I've just created a Crusades task force as part of the Middle Ages WikiProject, so if you'd like to help with that as well, that would be great! Adam Bishop (talk) 09:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I have been adding the templates for quite a while now because it seems to be the only way to get the articles noticed. I df the new task force can get some Crusade articles noted, why not. Dimadick (talk) 07:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Floris III, Count of Holland

Noticed you added a WikiProject Middle Ages project banner in the article talk. But in the other projects, the article has been rated start class. But you did not assess it. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 07:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

The Medieval Wikiproject has its own assesment criteria and does not necessarily follow the bio assesments. Dimadick (talk) 07:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toni Ann Gisondi

You voted to keep this article based in part on an award win. Just wanted to make it clear that the article was poorly worded and the actor was merely nominated for the award, in case this makes a difference to your vote. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

tags

You might add the $$visual arts}} tag to those articles like illuminated manuscripts where it applies and has not yet been added. We don't do much tagging, although we are more active in maintaining these articles. Thanks, Johnbod (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I was unaware that project also covered manuscripts. Dimadick (talk) 13:17, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Talk:Blacasset

A tag has been placed on Talk:Blacasset, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Talk:Blacasset|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Hot200245 (talk) 14:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Manuscripts

I'm fairly sure it is a mistake to all Project Judaism tags to Christian Old Testament manuscripts that have no textual interest for Jews. However, as mentioned before, the Visual arts tag is an appropriate addition. Johnbod (talk) 10:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

What are you talking about? I have added mEdieval but bot Judaism tags to the various manuscriptsDimadick (talk) 10:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I was talking about Old Testament fragment (Naples, Biblioteca Vittorio Emanuele III, 1 B 18), but I see you are right - you added WPMA, someone else the Judaism. Both in fact are wrong, as this is a late Antique 5th century MS, as are several others you have added the WPMA tag to. Please use edit summaries btw. Just "+WPMA" would be fine. Thanks. Johnbod (talk) 11:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually this is the only project so far which has dealt with the Roman and Byzantine articles of the 5th century. So I don't consider it a mistake. Dimadick (talk) 11:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

How "dealt with" (other than by tagging)? Some of these have the "classical Greece and Rome" banners, and the main contributor to them by far is User:Dmsgold who is not affiliated with either project, probably followed by myself, who is in both. Johnbod (talk) 11:19, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Dealt with in assessing and/or preventing vandalism mostly. For some reason "Classical Greece and Rome" has not included several articles on Roman figures of the period of the Theodosian dynasty or their successors in the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. The situation dealing with the 476 - 500 period is not that clear. Dimadick (talk) 11:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Succession boxes

Hello. According to this succession boxes should be about the last thing on the page. I am not a great fan of consistency for its own sake, but in this case I think it would be as well if everything was done the same way. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

However this renders them practically invisible in articles with long list of references. I consider them more useful at the end of the actual text. Dimadick (talk) 10:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The tables in this article repeat the row which include Picture, Name, Status etc. parameters as headings in both top and at the bottom of each table. Can you please fix it? Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 09:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 32)

Hallo, Dimadick! I'm hoping you can help me. The page on G. Domitius Ahenobarbus (consul 32) gives his date of birth as 11th December 17 BC. But where did this date come from? No source is given. I don't know who wrote the original page, but I notice that you've taken an active part in the discussion, so maybe you could advise me. Thanks, Larmel (talk) 12:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

The date seems to come from "Suetonius' Life of Nero:An Historical Commentary" (1978) by Keith R. Bradley. Dimadick (talk) 15:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Estonian Government in Exile

Hi Dimadick, I noticed that you included Estonian Government in Exile under WikiProject Former Countries. It might be me that I'm missing something but how does it make sense? Thanks! --Termer (talk) 13:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

You are missing that the project even has a task force devoted "to articles on extraordinary governments, such as provisional governments or governments-in-exile". Dimadick (talk) 17:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

About Constantine

Recently you have added king Constantine I of Greece in the category of Greek people of World I... I do not thing should be there, since he wasn't Greek. Yes he was born in Athens but his line is not Greek (Glücksburg). I will remove him from the category for now... If you disagree please post your opinion in the talk page of Constantine I of Greece. Thank you in advance. A.Cython (talk) 13:37, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for this, i'am spanish wikipedian and Latins should be like it:Latini and es:Latinos (es:Latinos was translated from it:Latini), Shooke (talk) 00:08, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject tagging

You've just tagged Diameter, Dolphin and Dissertation as being part of Wikiproject Greece, despite the fact that these have nothing whatsoever to do with Greece. Please stop inappropriately categorising articles like this. Hut 8.5 17:45, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

They are included in category Greek loan words and the Project also covers the Greek language. Dimadick (talk) 17:47, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

That's not a sufficiently strong connection to tag the article's talk page. Only do it if the article has a strong connection to the Wikiproject. Hut 8.5 17:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Theodora Kantakouzene

A tag has been placed on Theodora Kantakouzene requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. – moonty (talk) (contribs) 09:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Apologies for what was probably an incorrect speedy deletion. To avoid such problems in the future (though I'll be a bit more careful), read Wikipedia:Starting_an_article#How_to_create_a_page. – moonty (talk) (contribs) 10:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

About your Wikiproject tagging again

I came here because I had concerns about your Wikiproject tagging, although apparently User:Hut 8.5's already dropped a similar note, but I do want to add my voice to his/hers. I've seen you popping up across the spectrum of my watchlist for some time now, and while I admire your dedication and diligence, I have to say that I think your tagging is indiscriminately broad, which greatly reduces its helpfulness to the projects involved. Adding everything with any kind of relation to classicism, no matter how remote or in what minor proportion, is not what those tags are for. When you find yourself tagging things like World's Finest Team as being supported by Wikipedia:WikiProject Greece, Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome and Wikipedia:WikiProject Mythology, you have ventured into a categorical inclusiveness that compromises the value of those tags in the first place. I urge you to exercise a greater selectiveness, particularly in cases of modern fictional characters that are related to or in some way based on classical myth. Namorita shouldn't be tagged for Wikiproject Greece any more than Lex Luthor should be tagged for WikiProject United States presidents because he won an election in a comic book. Thanks. Ford MF (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

You seem under the impression that "classicist" means ancient. Much of the project articles actually include modern authors, artists and cultural depictions. In concepts as broad as depictions of Greco-Roman mythology there is little difference between sources and depictions. Did you even notice that "Namorita" is another depiction of the Atlantis myth? Dimadick (talk) 14:00, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I mostly came because of the wholesale tagging of comics- and TV-mythology articles with templates for WP:GREECE, &c., so yeah, I'm aware there exists in the Marvel Universe a thing called "Atlantis". I'm willing to believe that these Wikiprojects may in fact be agreeable to the inclusion of derivative characters and works, legion though they may be, but your tagging does I think raise a legitimate question of scope. You didn't mention a rationale for World's Finest Team, although I presume it is the mere presence of Wonder Woman, and it makes one wonder how far down the ladder you're going to go, because that's pretty far down.

Mythological articles habitually accrue "trivia" or "in popular culture" sections that list myriad mentions of the subject in modern popular culture, but would manga like Spriggan (to pick one example) really need to be tagged for classical mythology merely because its characters use weapons of orichalcum? Ford MF (talk) 14:24, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, I am willing to believe I am in the minority in this regard, so I've posted a similar question on the talkpages of interested projects regarding their scope. Ford MF (talk) 14:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I'd also like to ask you to please stop the excessive project tagging. Every character of the Xena television series and every article in Xena does NOT belong in any of those projects. You seem to just be tagging without actually considering the article contents. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 15:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I echo the concerns of others. Stop tagging anything with a Greek or Roman name. Not everything tangentially connected to either empire needs be tagged that way, unless you also plan to tag all articles on democracy, republicanism, science, and so on. they've all got latin and greek name roots. ThuranX (talk) 15:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree with ThuraX and Collectonian. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:57, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, this is Blackwatch21 from WikiProject Superheroes. I see that you have been putting our project banner, if you want you can join our project. Thanks. BW21.--BlackWatch21 16:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

When it comes to superhero articles I am more often a reader than an editor. But having some fresh eyes examining articles that have not seen many edits in more than a year is probably a good idea. Wish you luck with your new WikiProject. Dimadick (talk) 16:50, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Ancient Olympics Games

I noticed you answering some questions on the talk page here; are you knowledgeable about the games? And if so, can you tell me if this is accurate; if so it could lead to significant expansion of the article. Ironholds 15:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that the page is its lack of a list of its own sources and use of expressions such as "some scholars" which leaves the reasoning quite vague. I suggest finding more sources supporting a statement before incorporating it into an article. Dimadick (talk) 16:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks :). Ironholds 18:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dimadick. It's been a long time but it is nice to see you again and I would like to thank you for your support and your valuable contributions, as always, to the article. Take care. Tasos. Dr.K. (talk) 14:32, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Always nice to see interesting subjects covered in new articles. Good work, Tasos. Hope you can find enough time to work on your subjects of choice. Dimadick (talk) 16:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much Dimadick for your nice comments. I always try to write a few things that I care about and I am very pleased to get feedback from editors I hold in high esteem. I also appreciate your many contributions and great work in this area and even though it is the nature of editing here that sometimes we lose track of each other, it is always nice to see you again. Take care and all the best. Tasos (Dr.K. (talk) 21:35, 16 August 2008 (UTC))

Western Roman Empress consort

You have created this table in articles and so....

Placidia is not last Western Roman Empress consort but wife of Julius Nepos which is married to niece of Leo I. Procopius is even writing about Julius Nepos grandchild, but for me name of his wife is mistery !?--Rečanin (talk) 23:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Because it is a mystery for everyone. The name was never recorded to my knowledge and there is too little information about her. Whether she was a niece by Leo by blood or marriage is also unknown. Also unclear whether she was alive during the reign of her husband. Dimadick (talk) 09:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Onomatology of Byzantine Emperors

Hi Dimadick. I saw your efforts to revert the changes that Deipnosophista made to the Komnenos article. Thank you for that. I informed Yannismarou and Adam Bishop about the situation and requested a reversal of these unjustified, stealthy, misleading and counterproductive moves. If this is not resolved soon we must take further action. Please let me know about any ideas you may have. Thanks. Tasos (Dr.K. (talk) 04:52, 13 September 2008 (UTC))

Yannis, as usual, fixed it. I just left him a message about the others too. Tasos (Dr.K. (talk) 14:35, 13 September 2008 (UTC))

Category:Documentaries alleging war crimes

You had participated back in February in this CfD regarding the Category:Documentaries alleging war crimes, which ended in no consensus. A new proposal has been made to eliminate this category and merge its contents to Category:War documentaries which is now going on at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 September 24#Category:Documentaries alleging war crimes. You are encouraged to reconsider the original CfD, revisit your opinion in that discussion and participate again in this latest CfD. Alansohn (talk) 20:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Ratings

Please stop rating for the Visual Arts Project, of which you are not a member. I don't think you should rate for other projects where you are not a member & have no specific expertise either. Johnbod (talk) 15:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually I am only applying recent ratings of one relevant Wikiproject to the others. I consider it bettyer than leaving them unrated for a lengthier period.Dimadick (talk) 15:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Generally the VA view is that no ratings are better than Biography project drive-bys, so please don't. Johnbod (talk) 15:22, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I tend to ignore the biography project myself. I have encountered states and artifacts wrongly included in that project and given ratings. I meant the projects by country, more recently the German one who has been quite active in assessments. Dimadick (talk) 15:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

{{WikiProjectNotice-LSBY}}

Please can you be more careful when adding WikiProject notices to articles. Firstly, Template:WikiProjectNotice-LSBY (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) is no longer in use, and is only retained because some pages have not yet been converted to the newer tag, which is {{WPSpace|TLS=yes}}. Secondly, most of the articles you have added this tag to are not in the scope of WP:TLS - of the twelve articles you have tagged today, the only one which should have been tagged was 1973 in spaceflight. The more generic {{WPSpace}} tag (without the TLS=yes parameter) should have been used in all other cases. Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 20:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Greece)

Thank you very much for your contributions to Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Greece). As you can see is still under construction, I do have all the information, just need time to punch it in. Typically I do the wikilinking job at the end (after copy edit), but you have helped a lot.

If you do not mind, I can post you a note here when I add more information about the other coins.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Settlements established in 744, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Settlements established in 744 has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Settlements established in 744, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Category:WikiProject Khitan articles by importance

I notice that this category is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to (are members of) it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you, the creator of the category, in case you wish to (re-)populate the category by adding [[Category:WikiProject Khitan articles by importance]] to articles/categories that belong there.

I have also blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

Category:Rulers by century

I finished my expansion of the category you created. Any suggestions on how to improve the category? Dimadick (talk) 18:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

• Well the first thing you can do is do to go here and vote to have Category:21st-century former rulers merged into Category:21st-century national presidents.
• Now looking at your work... this is awesome... I am not sure where to start, I see from your recent contributions you have added a lot of monarchs, mostly from Asia, mostly from the 11th to 18th century? Maybe you can tell me what else you have done so far.
• I will tell you some as well.
• I filled basicly by myself from about Category:7th-century BC rulers to Category:10th-century rulers. I forget where I left off on the BC side as you get records for fewer rulers each century, but basicly have 100% of the rulers up to the 10th-century. The category were then getting so big I knew I should begin breaking them up by area (I plan on Asia, Caribbean, South America, Oceania, Europe, Central America, North America, Africa, Middle East) from then on, and by type (monarchs, presidents, prime ministers, etc.) from about the 18th-century onward.
• I wanted to have a sytem so that I planned in advance the category and could not have retag each article many times. I guess I spent most of the time since then (doing other projects and) dividing all the Heads of state by area. I know someone who has a bot that can divid up the names by century, and then all we would have to do is go down lists of articles and tag them.
• Have you ever, by chance, used a bot?
• In any case I have the them done already for the 21st century rulers here: User:Carlaude/Rulers#List_C.
• I also have lists ready of rulers that could be recategorized by area here: User:Carlaude/Rulers#List_A. It is not really as high a priority but it would be nice to do especially if it could be done by bot. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 22:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

As I said, one of the simplist things you can do to "improve Category:21st-century national presidents" is go Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_July_16#Category:21st-century_former_rulers and vote to have Category:21st-century former rulers merged into Category:21st-century national presidents.

You can post a vote in just one sentence... Did you already add them all in already? I saw a lot were at one point. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 18:04, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Monarchs by century

I am not so sure that Category:10th-century monarchs, etc. are that useful as subcategories. Since most rulers in these centuries are monarchs-- until republics begin (again) in the 18th century-- nearly all the rulers would have to in these categories for them to be complete, and the rulers that are not monarchs would sometimes be hard to determine, since we may have very limited records of back then, and many titles are used of monarchs and non-monarchs. The cut-off doesn't have to be the 17th-century if there are some non-monarchs before then, but I was not sure you thought about this. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 22:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I never indicated they are were only monarchs, but there looks to be stilll at least 90%-95% monarchs-- and then someone could come along later and just propose in a CfD that it all be merged/deleted, each [Category:00th-century monarchs] into its parent [Category:00th-century rulers].

If you still want to include a [Category:Monarchs] within each [Category:Rulers] then I would still like to have us working together. Could we leave the non-monarchs together in the top category until a 18th-century or so? Having some ruler-types in small categories will greatly increase the chances that later someone will nominate all the categories to be all merged. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 11:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. Dimadick (talk) 17:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I see your new Category:9th-century monarchs does show up with the first page of Category:9th-century rulers because Category:9th-century rulers has nearly 400 articles in it. This can be helped it articles are moved out of Category:9th-century rulers and into subcategories like Category:9th-century rulers in Asia or Category:9th-century monarchs in Asia, rather than just adding them to Category:9th-century monarchs.

You could also just add a blank before the sort key like this... [[Category:9th-century rulers| Monarchs]]. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 22:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

21st-century national presidents

I see you are doing thing with these categories but I don't understand why you avoid much of any communication. Do not want to do any working together?

The main thing I notice is you have added a couple hundred articles to Category:21st-century national presidents and/or Category:20th-century national presidents-- which is a good thing-- but the point of my efforts to indentify them by area, e.g. Europe, is that they can be entered directly into Category:21st-century national presidents in Europe or whatever. To enter them all into Category:21st-century national presidents and then later into Category:21st-century national presidents in Europe takes twice as many the edits. What do you think? ^{Carlaude:Talk} 22:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I placed the various 21st century presidents there because there was not a subacategory for them. I think I included everyone with an article. If you create subcategories, I can help with the edits needed to disambiguate them. Dimadick (talk) 07:31, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank for responding. I have created all the 21st century president sub-cats for ya.

Also still curous what else you have worked on that I just haven't seen yet? ^{Carlaude:Talk} 15:01, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I have created various more such as 9th- to 14th-century monarchs in the Middle East, in Asia, and Chinese monarchs and the various more 20th century president sub-cats.

Just let me know where you will work and I can create categories for you, or at least sample ones. I don't want to create categories until one of us is planning to use or fill them soon after.^{Carlaude:Talk} 22:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I was planning to work on Indian rulers for a while. Already covered the presidents and the Emperors from 1877 to 1947. Dimadick (talk) 03:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks. Looks like the categories you need are there. A couple points.
• Please avoid putting a person in a "monarchs is Asia" etc. if they live in Europe-- in a non-conntected way, e.g. any of the UK monarchs over India. I think there may seen as Wikipedia:Overcategorization and reverted or an excuse to even toremove the categories all togther, as they are new. (these people would end up being monarchs "in" of every continent-- but I think still having leaders of Russia and Turkey rulers as rulers "in Asia" will make more sense to people.)
• Also, it is not as usefull to have So-and-so's folder in these categories as to have So-and-so's article. In fact, if leave the people categories out, altogther that is prefered to me, but do include people articles.
• There are a few categories of people here and there in the 1st- 12th-centuries that are each within a whole century-- these are good. (In fact in these cases I have not even put the people within in that century category, but you can if you want.) But there are a few categories in the 19th and 20th centuries that overlap centuries. I will try and remove them all tonight, but we do need to remove them, so they are not confused with the ones that can stay. We will also have to get rid of the caliph categories later, since they all overlap. It may be nice to set up "caliphs by century" categories. ^{Carlaude:Talk} 05:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Arsinoe IV of Egypt

Hi there. I see you have made an amendment to the article Arsinoe IV of Egypt, categorising her as a "female ruler". Arsinoe IV was undoubtedly female, but was she ever a ruler of anything at all? Wdford (talk) 14:58, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

She was rival queen in a civil war. Dimadick (talk) 14:59, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

She wasn't much of a rival, as history proved. She went off in a sulk, she attempted a coup without much support from anybody, and her own army sold her to the enemy. She never won the war, and never came to rule Egypt, or anywhere else. History remembers Cleopatra as the last ruler of Egypt, after her father. Does that really make Arsinoe a "ruler", or merely a spectacularly unsuccessful "wannabe"? Wdford (talk) 15:08, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

You'd be surprised to know hom many Roman emperors have no more claim to the title than she did. Dimadick (talk) 16:46, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

If they never ruled, then they were never rulers. Let's delete them all as well. Wdford (talk) 22:18, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Marcellus (6th century AD)

Hello Dimadick! I have responded on Marcellus' identity at Talk:Marcellus (6th century AD), and await your reply. Best regards, Constantine ✍ 18:12, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

So it does need a disambiguation page. If you want to edit the Bury phrases. Do so freely. It is just the most detailed account of the events I have found. Dimadick (talk) 18:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

It is, and good old Bury was virtually the first serious work on Byzantium I ever read :) However if we include links to the text itself, IMO including entire passages is a bit redundant. We should summarize, like all encyclopedias. Anyhow, good work on these new articles, I am looking forward to more! Take care, Constantine ✍ 18:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Marcellus (6th century AD)

The article Marcellus (6th century AD) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

per Talk:Marcellus (comes excubitorum), implausible & misleading redirect. There were several Marcelluses in the 6th century, and the proper dab page for them is at Marcellus

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Constantine ✍ 11:06, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Germanus

Hello! I have seen the German article, but they seem to mix up the Caesar, who acc. to the PLRE is only recorded once, for 582, with Germanus "the Patrician" of the later reign of Maurice. The PLRE however makes a clear case that the two are distinct. Other than that, the German article uses only the info from the PLRE entry. If you do not have access to it, I have a copy and can write the article up tomorrow. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 14:04, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, this does resolve why I could not find more references to the Caesar. I have information on his role in 582 but nothing before or after that. Dimadick (talk) 04:46, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Romans and Visigoths

As regards this edit, should I put him in the "Romans" category even if he was a Visigoth? --TakenakaN (talk) 10:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

He served in the Roman army. If we exclude all Roman officers of barbarian or semi-barbarian origin, we end up without listing the majority of them in the 5th century. Problematic on itself. Dimadick (talk) 06:09, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Yennenga

Hello. I see that you're currently tagging a number of articles as being part of the LGBT wikiproject. Why would Yennenga fall under that scope? There's nothing relevant to LGBT in the article.--BelovedFreak 13:18, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

LBGT stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender". Yennenga and other cross-dressers fit under the definition for transgender: "individuals, behaviors, and groups involving tendencies to vary from the usual gender roles.". Dimadick (talk) 13:22, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I realise what LGBT stands for, but I don't think that Yennenga would be classified as transgender just because she wore men's clothing as a disguise to escape her father. These categories and/or project tags can be controversial, and it's sometimes a good idea to discuss them first. I've not checked on all the other ones you've added, but please be aware of WP:BLP issues too, if you're adding the tag to BLPs. These "accusations" (and, yes: some people do see it that way) need to be scrupulously sourced. --BelovedFreak 13:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, so I guess it looks like you don't really want to discuss this. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies. Not that I think I'm right and you're wrong, but I would like some more input.--BelovedFreak 13:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

2nd Century Consuls

Dimadick, you have me at a loss. Why did you undo my corrected edit for the Roman consuls of the year 169 AD? As someone who appears to have significant knowledge of Roman naming convention, you are surely aware that the consuls for that year was several individual, not one massive block of a name? I am going to undo your edit, and remind you that names like Lucius, Aper, Gaius and sextus are praenomen not cognomen or nomen. Thank you. --I am the Blood 12:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

DEFAULTSORT Stuff

Hi Dimadick! I'm here to learn and hopefully you can send me in the right direction. I noticed that you changed the DEFAULTSORT on Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 10th Earl of Shaftesbury. Therefore, I'm thinking that you know a bit more about formatting them than I do. I was told that the order goes, SURNAME, (PREFIX) GIVEN NAME, SUFFIX, but then you changed it to place the suffix first. I keep seeing it so many different ways and it gets confusing. Can you direct me to the official formatting guidelines for the DEFAULTSORT? Try as I might, I've never been able to find it. Your help is appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!

WPGR tags

Hello Dimadick! Good work on tagging, but two requests. Please be a bit more careful with the WPGR tag, you've added it to quite a few irrelevant articles recently. Also, it would be good, since you already add the tags, to assess the articles as well and add the relevant parameters too. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 02:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

One of the main reasons I tag articles is to have editors with an interest on them actually viewing them. It would kind of beat the purpose if only I reviewed them and forgot about them. Dimadick (talk) 10:33, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Dimadick (talk) 07:07, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. However the tags are mostly for project maintenance, and reviewing them does not preclude any interested editor from reading them, either ;). As for the Judaeo-Italian languages, you are right, there is relevance. I've reverted the removal. However in many other cases, such as the Dené-Caucasian languages etc, I can't really see any connection. Best regards, Constantine ✍ 10:39, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

WPMA

Intriguing - I had always in my exposure to academic interpretations of history - I had always assumed Middle Ages was a euro-centric allocation - relative to the cultural sphere of Europe - do you have any good links that say they identify the label to un-related cultures (in that Java was hardly affected by the european influence till after) at all? SatuSuro 06:49, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Have you noticed the article History of Asia and its section "Middle Ages". What makes you think you thin the Project is eurocentric? Dimadick (talk) 06:52, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

To clarify - I have nothing to do with WPMA project - however if I look at the main article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Middle_Ages - it is very specific about its context.

South east asia is very different from the over-sided Asia category and its issues (of which I disagree very strongly as a grab bag for widely disparate cultural spheres) and would defend questioning of all your WP MA tags on Javanese items as being close to nuisance tagging - sorry to say - as the article from which I cite specifically is related to europe.

As for any attempt to draw in all four quarters of asia in any one article is IMHO intellectually arrogant anyways - they are all disparate, anthropologically, linguistically and historically - wikipedia has a very large fault in allowing the asia category and all its disparate elements being put together in one bag. SatuSuro 06:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Yet, the Project has specific teams working on the History of Western Asia and North Africa. It is only East Asia that seems currently overlooked. Dimadick (talk) 07:07, 15 August 2010 (UTC)|

That does not make Borobudur and Prambanan medieval monuments (which are not in East Asia but very specifically South East Asia- maritime at that) - sorry - they are not european - and I would stongly suggest you shore up a better justification for the tagging than that - as I see no reason to leave those tags there - in all WP:AGF - please either go and re-write the main medieval history article lead sentence and see what a response you get from other editors over that one - or please leaves Javanese monuments alone - thanks - or giver very very good reasons at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indonesia to defend your case SatuSuro 07:13, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

there are already many dubious project tags being spammed on every article, editors should take care to ensure that when they do spam project tags they are only doing into articles that are clearly with the scope of the project in particuar I'll draw your attention to the definition of Middle ages project This is a WikiProject on the Middle Ages, for those Wikipedians interested in that middle age of European history that definition clearly excludes areas of the current day Indonesia and most other areas of asia except for some portions of the middle east where empires//crusades etc occurred. I suggest that you undo your erronous tagging rather than leaving it for others to clean up. Gnangarra 07:56, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

I still don't see how it is "erroneous tagging" but my edits have already been reverted. Dimadick (talk) 08:06, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Germany

I see that you re-added the WikiProject Europe banner to Talk:Germany, although the banner had previously been removed, and you do not refer to any discusssion on the matter.

Please note that Germany is not within the scope of WikiProject Europe, which explicitly restricts itself to those articles not covered by a more specific project:

"The Project does not take responsibility for areas of Europe already covered by a project. For example, where a European country is covered by a national project [my emphasis] or a regional project (e.g. WP:EEUROPE, WP:MICROSTATE, etc.). The project shall also not cover articles involving the European Union, Eurovision or European History."

Boson (talk) 18:57, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

In response to your reply on my talk page:

No, I had not noticed that someone had added the project banner to some other European countries that have their own projects. Possibly that was done by someone who is not a member of the project. I see that France was also added very recently. Like most project members, I imagine, I did not have non-project countries on my watchlist. I noticed Germany because I am also a member of WP:GER. The Europe project explicitly excludes such countries from the project. It was set up explicitly to cover those countries that did not have their own project and those pan-European topics that were not covered by the European Union project. I think it would be best if consensus were reached on the project talk page before changes are made to the scope of the project. --Boson (talk) 19:40, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Pages to merge

Hi

It may not be efficient for pages to be created with single ssentences. They are not really worthy of even a stub classification. I came across some of your pages on Sumerian religion and would suggest you merge them. If not then I will begin to stick merge tags on and even do some of it myself if the articles are not expanded soon.

Many of those little stubs can be quite easily included on the main pages of the religion and do not warrant a page of their own. A simple list would have been better.

Heraclius the Elder

Congrats on expanding this really important article! Very comprehensive and in-depth work. I do think however that the section on the Armenian revolt should be condensed and sourced, if possible, from somewhere else. The verbatim block of text, with its toherwise unmentioned Armenian names and the peculiar style, really stands out to the eye and is rather incomprehensible as it lacks any context. Do you know some other, secondary source that discusses Heraclius' actions there in detail? Constantine ✍ 00:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

If I did, I would use them. Unfortunately the Armenian events are mostly overlooked. Dimadick (talk) 05:08, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Question

Why are you putting cryptid templates in (talk) pages about mythological animals? As far as I know, "cryptid" is not synonymous with "mythological animal"--Mr Fink (talk) 14:22, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Then it would be a good question why the project covers article such as genie and werewolf. Dimadick (talk) 14:34, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Why do movies belong in Wikiproject American Old West?

I noticed that you'd like The Gambler (TV movie series) (among other movies) to be part of WikiProject American Old West. I do not think it fails under the scope of that project. This is a fictional portrayal of the Old West and it has nothing to do with the real American Old West. Nothing in the Wikiproject's description suggests fictional accounts of the Old West fail under the scope of that project. The wording there indicates otherwise, in fact. I see that many movies have been tagged as part of this project. If indeed, fictional accounts of the Old West fall under the scope of that project, it ought to be explicitly stated on the project page. This would first require discussion. I'm strongly of the opinion that it makes no logical sense to include movies under that project. Having a Wikiproject American Western Films or some sub-project of Wikiproject Films would be much more sensible. Jason Quinn (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

I have started a discussion on the project talk page. Please do not add any more films to this wikiproject until some resolution is made. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:00, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Please do not be upset, your contribution has been exceedingly valuable, and I don't want to step on your toes. The reason I removed some of the tags is because the project has self identified as a mid level scope project, which means that its aim is to cover regional issues, events, entities, etc. and historical entites. As a general guideline, for contemporary issues, events, entities etc. if more than one country within East Asia is involved, it is within our scope. If only one country is involved, or multiple countries are involved and only one of them is within East Asia, it is not. By this logic, 1950s in Hong Kong does not fall within our scope, while Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong does.

For more information, or if you would like to voice a concern over our scope, please feel free to visit the project page. While you're there, consider signing up as well. We could use you!

Sincerely, Sven Manguard _Talk 22:07, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Please read our scope document

Please, I implore you, read our scope document. It's on the project page, and specifics are on the talk page (WP:WikiProject East Asia.) Most of the things you have tagged since my last message are not within the project scope. WWII battles not between two East Asia countries are not covered. India, Guam, and the Philippines are not covered. US-Japan relations are not covered. This project does not cover everything in East Asia, it's scope is much more specific. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please try to understand where this is coming from. If you want to comment on our scope, please do, but please abide by the scope in your tagging until consensus is reached.

Thank you,
Sven Manguard _Talk 19:39, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Umm Wha?

Hi there. A you have a new message alert popped up and I saw the linked difference. I'm not sure what exactly happened there. If you wanted to leave a message, please feel free to do so.

As for the above, I wanted to first apologize if my messages above seemed harsh. I realize that you were offering help, and should have been nicer. Second of all, I wanted to thank you for those 300 or so tags. A lot of them were exceedingly useful and boosted the project a great deal. It seems that you have a knack for finding pages.

So, well, we didn't get off to the best of starts, but I am sorry if you feel mistreated. Feel free to contact me, and feel free to join the project. Cheers, Sven Manguard _Talk 05:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

More overzealous/inappropriate tagging

As other editors have already asked, please could you take the time to read the comments posted on the WP:EASIA Talk page. Indiscriminately slapping project tags on the talk page of every single article related to East Asian countries is not especially constructive, as, as far as I can see, articles on cities or regions in Japan or other East Asian countries do not appear to be within the scope of WikiProject East Asia. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 11:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Added links for Rust and Hippler

Thanks for adding the links for these individuals! I'm a new user and hadn't gotten around to figuring that out just yet, so it'll be a good model for me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ...the point is to change it (talk • contribs) 03:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit summary reminder

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.Valfontis (talk) 20:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Help on Dacian categories

Thanks for the help! Here is an invitation to the project too. Best regards!

Hi! From your edits, it looks like you might be interested in ancient Dacia. Would you like to join the WikiProject Dacia? It is a project aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to these topics. We need help expanding and reviewing many articles, and we also need more images. Your input is welcomed! Thanks and best regards!

--Codrin.B (talk) 20:53, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi again! I see you are already pretty involved with articles relating to the project and adding project banners. If you wish you join, you can add your name in the list of members. Regards! --Codrin.B (talk) 21:14, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

With the ever expanding Wikipedia, I feel the basic need for any Wikiproject is locating articles of interest. Which is why I am typically adding project banners. I am afraid I am not knowledgeable enough in Dacian matters, lacking sources. I am just glad that a Wikiproject pays attention to an area of Europe that is often overlooked. Dimadick (talk) 07:36, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

People on the project came with different interests and backgrounds. We have some interested only in project structure and not in the articles. I myself focus more on the project infrastructure, categorization, assessment than the articles themselves, at least at this point. We need more than article content help so your involvement so far is more than necessary to make you a member. Thanks for the kind words and help.--Codrin.B (talk) 15:25, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

'Dacian' archaeological cultures

Just thought I'd leave a note to explain why I reverted a series of your recent edits. You added {{WikiProject Dacia}} to a few article talk pages: Talk:Linear Pottery culture, Talk:Boian culture, Talk:Gumelniţa-Karanovo culture, Talk:Usatovo culture, Talk:Cernavodă culture. But in each case the archaeological culture that is the subject of the article dates to several millennia before the Dacians existed - therefore they really had no connection to the Dacians and aren't in the scope of that WikiProject. I also removed WP Dacia from Talk:Stari Ras, since that's a Medieval city that again has no connection to the Iron Age and classical era tribe known as the Dacians. —Joseph Roe^Tk•Cb, 09:44, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi guys! Just wanted to pitch in from WikiProject Dacia. We clarified the scope of the project here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dacia/Goals. Indeed those cultures do not fit the time span described in the scope, even though they fit the space. But I just wanted to clarify that not only Dacians as a people are in the scope of this project, as described at the link provided. Projects like History, European History, Archaeology, Romania would be more appropriate. Not sure if there are projects about Prehistory and cultures. I hope this helps and I welcome your comments. --Codrin.B (talk) 21:06, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Notes Codrin.B (talk) 15:26, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

History of Cluj-Napoca

One observation: I don't know if you should set the assessment and the importance of an article to be the same for all projects. The importance of an article definitely varies for each project, while the quality assessment varies (usually not that much though). Each project has their own process of assessment and designation of importance and members of each project will assess the articles individually and separate from other projects. As in our example, I would think History of Cluj-Napoca should be of high importance to Romania, mid to Dacia, low-to-mid to European history, low to History. But I would let members from those projects determine that. Let me know your thoughts.--Codrin.B (talk) 14:08, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Ideally this would be so. But many articles are left unasessed for years, so a single assessment is better than nothing. Take for example Wikiproject Romania. 1626 unasessed articles, most of them left like that for over a month. Dimadick (talk) 14:16, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I know, there is a lot a of work needed to assess everything. Maybe is better to assess quality for all and let them put the importance? Or just assign the most sensible or logical importance. But I think you should consider joining some of these projects, even if you help only with assessment and categorization. You are doing the tasks that members usually (should) do after all. Cheers! --Codrin.B (talk) 17:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

La Tène culture

Take a look at La Tène culture. I've been trying to add a few relevant projects there and there is a guy who insists on stopping me. See the conversation on the talk page. I can see some of his points but I think is better to have more relevant project than less, since it stirs collaboration. I know you are very judicious about categorizing and adding WikiProjects. What do you think? Thanks and regards! --Codrin.B (talk) 18:52, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for not responding earlier, but I was preoccupied with the creation of another article and a template. I had attempted to add a further Wikiproject to the La Tène culture in August 2010, at least from what I can see in the talk page's history. It is the Wikiproject of the United Kingdom since the article specifically mentions: "La Tène cultural material appeared over a large area, including parts of Ireland and Great Britain (the lake dwellings at Glastonbury, England, are an example of La Tène culture". May addition was removed by Johnbod, citing "Let's just have wp Switzerland; this could be under 15 or so country projects otherwise". Which doesn't really sound much of a reason to me. The wide scope of this article should ideally help list archaeological sites in each of these countries. But I would like to avoid edit warring about it. Dimadick (talk) 16:56, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Ablabius (assassin)

—HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 06:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Crime categories

Hello. You seem to be putting people into crime categories. People may be criminals, but they are not crimes. For example, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. is a 1968 crime. James Earl Ray, the man who killed King, is not a 1968 crime. Please consider this before you add people to crime categories. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 07:20, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Please stop. I don't want to make a big deal of this, but people do not belong in crime categories. People may be criminals but they are not crimes. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 17:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Angilas

Hi. I'm Monstrelet (talk · contribs)'s missus - he asked me to have a look at the page. Could I ask that next time you are tempted to turn a redirect into an article about something that's not related to where it's redirecting, you ask an admin to clear the decks first. Takes two minutes, saves considerable fannying about later :). I've got to sort it, you'll see some weird edits for the next few minutes. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

You are aware that the redirect was only used in a single article, right? Dimadick (talk) 14:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Quite aware. I'm also aware that the history of the article prior to redirect was stuck at the bottom of your article, and needed to be elsewhere, and the talkpage contained references to the original article and the reason for redirecting it. The correct thing to have done was to have moved Angilas to Angilas (Film monster) (or some similar name), to free up Angilas for your article. That preserves the history and the talkpage content, and would have saved me 20 minutes of fannying about to fix it (see WP:HISTSPLIT). Still, it's fixed now, so no worries. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:46, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Siege of Phasis

Hello Dimadick! A most impressive article, especially for a first-time effort. Well done! Only one observation on citing. Please cite each individual fact/sentence/paragraph with the page where you found it, not the entire page range that concerns the whole article. It is both more professional and helps anyone who wants to check up facts. BTW, have you nominated it for DYK? There's lots of absurd misunderstandings there that might pique the interest. And thanks for the heads up on WPDacia, I didn't know the Goths had been included in its scope. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 19:13, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

No, I have not nomitated ir for DYK. I was under the impression it rarely deals with Medieval articles. About the citation, it might look more professional. But I try to avoid representing five pages from the same source as five different sources in the reference pages. Dimadick (talk) 08:56, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Anastasius (Samaria)

Hello! I tried to qualify Anastasius' role with what was most appropriate in relation to his involvement in religious matters, but you may be right that neither Byzantine clergy nor Byzantine theologian apply, at least as far as we know. The best way to describe him is probably just as holder of a political office, and Magistri officiorum is good enough for that. I'll remove this category. Place Clichy (talk) 11:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Anatolius (Osroene)

Orlady (talk) 18:03, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm puzzled

I noticed that you added a tag to the article Yohannes III of Ethiopia connecting it to WikiProject Women's History. I'm puzzled at your action: how is he relevant to Women's History? I could see how his wife, the Empress Menen Liben Amede, would be -- I've been unable to find enough information to write more than a perfunctory stub about her, which I don't want to do -- but IFAICS Yohannes as the person himself provides no insight to the subject. Unless weak figureheads notable mostly for their religious devotion can be said to be relevant to Women's History. -- llywrch (talk) 00:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

That "minor edit" check box

You might consider using it when adding a template to hundreds of talk pages. I don't appreciate having my watchlist fill up with dozens of (+51) edits by you that I can't filter out. john k (talk) 01:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

DYK for 557 Constantinople earthquake

Materialscientist (talk) 18:05, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Definitely--I wonder how THAT was omitted

I see that you added a needed category for Josephine Baker shortly after my editing-unrelated proposal (thereby perhaps making it editing related). That's of pretty high importance to me, so you also help reinforce that fact for me. Thanks.Julzes (talk) 11:32, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Internet in Turkey - Turkish page?

Marhaba,

I saw you created "Internet in Turkey" If there is a Turkish page for "Internet in Turkey" could you link from the English page?

Jzlcdh (talk) 15:11, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I did not create the article, only its talkpage. I am not sure if there is a counterpart in other Wikipedias. Dimadick (talk) 15:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Elizabeth College, Guernsey

Hi, I was wondering why you added Elizabeth College, Guernsey to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women's_History. Elizabeth College is a (mainly) all boys school. Having been there, I'm not really clear that it would have any relevance to Women's History! Mrh30 (talk) 14:41, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

The monarch would be listed as 'founder' of lots of institutions around the time. There's a question of notability - it is a notable fact for the school that Elizabeth I was listed as the founder (or more precisely, it was founded on her orders). The fact that she founded Elizabeth College wouldn't be classed as notable for Elizabeth. Mrh30 (talk) 15:05, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wife of Julius Nepos

A tag has been placed on Wife of Julius Nepos, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

there is just nothing here to write about

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:11, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Tagging again

I see you have been very active tagging for the Women's history project however I wonder if most of the articles tagged are just about a women. I wonder how you are discerning what counts was "women's history". Anne Michaels, Jackie Collins, Enid Blyton and ‎Anne Stevenson ‎are women writers but I don't really see how they clearly fit under this project more than most articles about women. Are you involved with any consultation with others on the project concerning the choice of articles? Please advise. Thank you. Span (talk) 12:00, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Women who have either made significant contributions in politics, arts. and literature or gotten significant coverage for other reasons. Dimadick (talk) 12:14, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Is that not every article on Wikipedia with a woman as its subject? There would not be an article unless she was notable. It does seem that every woman is being tagged. I suggest this would undermine the category and the project. Span (talk) 14:32, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Not really. Up till now, the project is merely locating articles of interest and has yet to substantially improve particular articles. Dimadick (talk) 06:34, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I came here to discuss this very thing with you. I don't see how women such as Julie Brown, Lisa Kudrow, or Kelly Gallagher (alpine skier) have a direct relation with women's history. They are women and notable but they aren't notable for having influenced the history of women as a whole. Dismas|^(talk) 09:16, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

At this point I am looking for negative stereotypes of women in the media. Brown and Kudrow are both listed in association with such roles. Kelly Galagher seems to be important for Northern Ireland.

There are no women who have influenced the history of women as a whole. There are no men who have such influence either. At most they have influenced the course of history on their country or region. Not on a planetary scale. It would be setting the bar for inclusion too high. Dimadick (talk) 09:24, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

I've asked for commentary by more members of this particular wikiproject here. Dismas|^(talk) 09:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

There is current discussion pertaining to this at the Women's History project page here. Would you mind not templating BLPs until a consensus has been reached? Cynwolfe (talk) 15:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ You've been asked politely now to join the discussion at the WikiProject and stop tagging BLPs. Please do so. Otherwise, I will take your disruptive behavior to WP:AN/I. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:55, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

From what I see on the Project's discussion page, the conversation is about inclusion of males and works about males. Which is what I have responded to. Dimadick (talk) 05:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Please see WT:WikiProject Women's History#Where's the bar for inclusion in this project?, especially the recently added subsection, Discussion to reach consensus. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 06:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Please respect the wishes of other Women's History project members, as well as other editors participating in the discussion linked above, and stop placing the Women's History banner until we resolve issues of scope. Every editor who's expressed an opinion wants you to stop. If you find articles that you're sure other project members would find appropriate, please take time to assess the article when placing the banner, and place all the articles you banner on your own watchlist. Otherwise, you're only creating work for other project members that we don't want. We need to establish the credibility of the project. Cynwolfe (talk) 14:43, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Women's history project

Hi Dimadick, several editors have expressed concern that you're adding this tag to so many (arguably unrelated) articles that it's effectively becoming meaningless. Could I ask you please to stop adding that tag completely for now, and join the discussion here instead? Many thanks, SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 14:50, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

H again, I meant please stop adding the tag or adding any assessments, until the other editors on the project agree with what you're doing. Jessica Simpson, for example, could not reasonably be described as of mid-importance to women's history. Please don't add the tag or assess any other articles until the issues are resolved. Many thanks, SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 17:24, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Wait a minute. You count consensus and expect me to remain silent? I am still discussing notability with other editors. Dimadick (talk) 17:26, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

There's consensus that you were adding the tag inappropriately. It's difficult, for example, to see the relevance of Olivia Newton-John to women's history (no disrespect intended), so it appeared that you were adding the tag to all pages about women. As a result, people asked you to stop adding either the tag or the assessments. There's now a workshop set up to decide the scope of the project, so perhaps you could take part in that and abide by whatever decision is made there. SlimVirgin ^{TALK|CONTRIBS} 18:36, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

The discussion is still ongoing. Particularly since fiction related-articles were added by another user. Dimadick (talk) 05:50, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of War over Water for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article War over Water is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at its deletion discussion page until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Thank you.Greyshark09 (talk) 21:25, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Discussions

I would like to bring to your attention that in discussions on talk pages your tone often comes across as argumentative or defensive. While I know it was posted over a week ago, your response on the Women's History Scope page regarding the miscellaneous topics, was addressed directly to me, rather than contributing to the overal question posed. Quite frankly there was no need given the format of the page for you to offer an insult. Furthermore the accusation made was clearly out of line as I had directly linked the article in question, not copied it from someone else's comments. I wholeheartedly stand by my position that the article in question has nothing to do with women's history, although its role in fashion is clearly pertinent. The remainder of your comment was to call into question other editors (who I have not checked history to determine) who had tagged articles you did not agree with. In all you did not answer the question, only offered insult to myself and other editors. I post this in hope that you become aware that these behaviors are viewed less than favorably by other editors, and that you take a moment to step back and realize the majority of editors are not talking directly to you, but rather in a general sense. Our overall goal is to improve the encyclopedia. Your opinions and contributions are valued, and it would be appreciated if you would show other editors the courtesy and consideration they show you. Thank you. --Tbennert (talk) 04:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject templates

Hi Dimadick, WP:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America is a daughter project of WP:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of the Americas. There's no need to place WP:IPA templates on every article that already has a WP:IPNA template. WP:IPNA is fairly active, so indigenous subjects in Canada and the United States get comparatively much more attention than articles pertaining to indigenous peoples of the Americas outside of these two countries, which could benefit from tagging and updating categories. -Uyvsdi (talk) 17:40, 17 July 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi

For the most part WP:INPA and WP:IPA articles don't have WP:WikiProject Ethnic groups templates. I was thinking of bringing the subject up at WP:IPA discussion and will do so. Cheers, -Uyvsdi (talk) 17:59, 17 July 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi

BTW, do you have any interest in assessing articles? WP:IPNA has almost 2K unassessed articles here: Category:Unassessed Indigenous peoples of North America articles. Cheers, -Uyvsdi (talk) 18:16, 17 July 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi
