Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 11:33, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AIV[edit]

Thank you for your report at WP:AIV. I've elected to protect the page to prevent further violations of our edit warring policy. Please note that multiple editors, including yourself, are in violation of WP:3RR, and I have elected not to block in this case since you may not have been aware of that policy. In the future, you must avoid reverting more than three times in a 24 hour period - regardless of the merits of the edit. Kuru (talk) 13:50, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thanks for reacting. I usually just discuss the topic at discussion page, but I had to react to his edits. Philosopher12 (talk) 19:44, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with Davide41[edit]

Hi there. I just filed a complaint at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents against Davide41. Talking to him is somewhat like banging your head against a brick wall. Equally useful and painful. Just wanted to let you know :) --AnnekeBart (talk) 20:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I've been talking all along. If he is a retired university professor (as he claims), then I'm queen Elisabeth of England. :) Philosopher12 (talk) 21:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't buy that claim either. If he were really a history professor he would be able to come up with better sources and he would not be ignoring the real literature. --AnnekeBart (talk) 11:50, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I put up a "solutions?" subsection in the complaint at the noticeboard. I would appreciate it if you would add something. Just so the admins know I am not the only one who has a problem with him. --AnnekeBart (talk) 13:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did, thanks for notifying. Philosopher12 (talk) 14:52, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Giulio Clovio[edit]

It is not my intent to revive the debate about many artists and writers from Dalmatia. From my perspective the actual concept of nationality is inappropriate for people living in Dalmatia before the XVIII century. However, if really nationalities have to be claimed sources such as the Britannica are authoritative enough to support a nationality claim in the headline of the article. --Silvio1973 (talk) 17:37, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
