Brahe

I found your information on Brahes very useful. Could you add the information on the history of the Brahe family to Brahe? Also, could you add references? All of that information would help clarify why all the Brahes should be listed and discussed together. Thank you, Dr. Submillimeter 15:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll try to, but it'll take a few days. I'm pretty busy IRL. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 20:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

When you do this, please use references other than the Swedish and Danish versions of Wikipedia. Thank you, Dr. Submillimeter 21:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The references that you suggested using seem good. Thank you for expanding the article. Dr. Submillimeter 21:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I just remembered that the Great Danish Encyclopedia is not the first of its kind. Salmonsens Konversationsleksikon from 1915 is partly digitized (including B) so I could start with that. [1]. The Swedish Nordisk familjebok is the same [2] and [3] and they are considered PD by their respective Wikipedias. Even a direct translation will still take some time, though.

Note to myself: Two editors worked on volumes 22-26: Johs. Brøndum-Nielsen (1881-1977) and Palle Raunkjær (1886-1980). The editor of the first 21 volumes Christian Blangstrup lived (1857-1926). Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 23:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanx, signing actual articles was something I wasn't sure of and couldn't find through a quick look at the tutorial.

Argentina-film-stub

Hi how long is the discussion going on for Category:Argentine film stubs? We now have almost 140 articles - I corrected many of the earlier tags and have been adding new stubs to write into full articles later. The guy who proposed it said 43 articles we now almost have 143!!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes I think so. I have been taking on a mammoth task of filtering lists of feature films to add to wikipedia and expand later into full articles. Every page shows up like 15 missing actors, direcotrs, cinema characters!! -the notable ones of these will all be started. I have been compiling the List of Argentine films is going really well. Category:Argentine films only had about 6 articles 6 weeks ago!! And I have done 95% of existing Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) material too!!! If I can get them off to a good start it sets a foundation then for proper expansion Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

You see List of Argentine films and the rest of the country lists are intended to be part of the Cinema of pages and document the entire cinema of every country by decade and year. Eventually I will get around to filling in all the details, See the navigation box on the right hand side takes you through the decades. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes I wrote some of them myself and those that are very similar to the site I will have to change slightly but they are telling a story of facts and owning all of them myself if you blind folded me not to see that site and I wrote the articles they would look very similar. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll work on it. I have a welath of my own details to add anyway and I plan a box for the chracters and actors of eack episode. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes I have to sort out the final episodes and restructure 1-10 which I forgot to correct. Trust me on this one I am quite capable see the main Randall page I have developed it myself analysing the series overall. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I look forward to reading the finished result. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 20:37, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Landsting election of 1920

Hi Valentinian

I agree with your dates. In addition to the two dates: The Valgmandsvalg was 24 September, followed by the actual election (valg af valgmandsvalgte) on 1 October, and by a temporary clause in the constitution the 19th of the 19 Landstingsvalgte was elected by those of candidates elected on 1 October, who had residence in South Jutland. The Faroese candidate (the seventh constituency) was elected by the Løgting, and apparently on another day than the rest of the elections.

The article on the Landsting (Denmark) really needs an explanation of the election systems, though. I have added that to my todo-list. Hemmingsen 06:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 10:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I may have misunderstood you earlier. Were you referring to both Landsting elections or just the second? (By the way, five parliamentary elections in one year, in addition to the plebiscites and a referendum, how insane is that?)

If they should be moved, then they should be moved from August to either June or July and from October to September. But all my sources refer to the elections by the date of valg af valgmandsvalgte, using "the Landsting election of 1 October 1920" and "the Landsting election of 10 August 1920", so I adopted that convention, even though referring to them by the date people actually voted would make just as much sense to me. Hemmingsen 17:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I think, I just realised what you meant by your original question. Well, better late than never. You suspected that the election of 10 August should have been 10 September, right? This isn't the case, as the August Landsting election and the July Folketing election were a requirement to change the constitution by calling a referendum on 6 September. And as soon as the new constitution was finally approved, a new set of elections were called in order for it to take effect. The dates 10 September and 1 October belong to the same election – the October one. Hemmingsen 19:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Re:Cyprus-stub

It went as I feared. Oh, btw, both of us have now officially been labelled as pro-Turks [1]. Funny, I didn't know that myself.

Sigh. Pro-Turk, huh? Don't tell my mate Kyp - he wouldn't be impressed (erm, "Kyp" is short for Kypros Kypri, BTW - guess what he thinks of TRNC!) Grutness...wha? 05:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Valentinian, I am very sorry if I gave you to understand that you are a pro-Turk. I have seen past editings and referings to other discussions and I am sure you are not. You helped me several times and I appreciate that. It was my mistake to talk for "pro-turks" rather than "pro-turk". However I disagree, whatever you will tell me about user:Grutness, which actually I was refering to him as pro-turk and I am insisting of that. If he is not, surely his is Anti-Cypriot. Many of his referings can be considered like that. I don't want to write why I believe that. It is my POV. But I am not at all considering you Pro-Turk rather than friend of Cyprus.

I understand the problem which is created with the people who support the pseudostate, however think also and the other side POV. It is a lot disturbing us the Cypriot to not have our own flag. I saw these days the stub of other countries with their own flag and our to be absent and was hurting a lot. Our problem is the disapperance of our flag, not what image there will be. Anyway I know we will not solve that problem by discussing the two of us rather than in Template talk:Cyprus-stub. By the way I want to be honest with you, I am the anonymous who had edit war with you one year ago about Cyprus stub image. I did have user name that time.

Saguamundi? He continues to behave like that. He also put Turkish Cypriots under category:Turkish X. Input of Cypriot politicians as Asian can not be because they are political articles and Cyprus politically belongs absolutelly in Europe. Regards KRBN 00:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say anything in Greek about you. Also every country has its own flag in this wikipedia. So as a Cypriot I am getting disturbed to see the flag of other countries and ours not. Since those templates are causing problems, they must not be included but it is general that every country uses its own flag. I think the flag must not be a reason to create such stubs. Also other countries with disputed territories use their flag. Even if TRNC-stub would have been acceptable, it has less than 60 stub to be accepted and also it was rejected. If Cyprus flag is going to be removed then Turkish flag must be the same because otherwise it would be unfair. KRBN 00:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Flag_of_Lebanon_(bordered).svg

Hey ... that image is not currently being used right now. I have uploaded it to Commons. (Commons images are accessible by any Wikipedia project and it will be completely transparent - even once the image is removed from Wikipedia, the link above will remain blue and anyone will be able to use the image in articles.) In general, orphaned images are either deleted or moved to Commons. The only reason I nominated this one for deletion is that I didn't realize it was potentially useful. Since it is, I have moved it to Commons and withdrawn my nomination at IFD. Thanks for pointing it out to me. --BigDT 23:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

-lev

• Since you seem to know Danish, what does "-lev" at the ends of Danish place name mean (e.g. Haderslev, Halslev, Harlev)? 81.159.157.247 Anthony Appleyard 17:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Some queries about year 1864 (Second War of Schleswig)

If it is possible to find this information, please:-

• (1) In 1864, when did the spring thaw come?
• (2) What railways existed in and around the area at the time?
  • These would affect ability to transport bulky military items. For example, the pontoon bridge used to cross the Alssund: were its components brought from Germany (and how?), or was it made on site from whatever could be found?
• (3) Is there any more information about the Prussian attack on Arnæs/Arnis? I cannot find any by a web search.
• (4) Where was Mysunde? Were there more than one place called Mysunde?

Iceland project

So noted. Tried copying from more than one source. Will work to standardize them now. Thanks for the information. I do screw up more often than I like to admit, and am grateful for the quick notice. Badbilltucker 23:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment. --ZeframSpark 00:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I have no problem with AGF but I do have a problem with you supplying incorrect sources. I own a copy of that book, and it is a black-and-white work. That image never came from page 176 of that book, and I have seen the coloured version before. Well, I see that someone has deleted it already.

Thanks for the tip! I had been putting off looking into that solution, but it seems to be highly necesary. By the way, I think we might have seen the return of an old friend [4]. Inge 10:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

"Most of England"

Im puzzled by the explanation you provide for the statement that the Normans conquered "Most of England" rather than its entirity: "Wessex was never conquered by the Vikings." I dont see the relevance of that. The Normans conquered the Kingdom of England in its entirity, not partially, and the statement that they conquered only most of it is incorrect. siarach 22:52, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Messages

About the messages you left on my talk page, as you noticed, I am deferring to Lar for resolution as I'm not familiar with that particular editor nor the topics that are being edited. Lar is aware of the past history and I'd be intervening without the full history. However, the recent comment left on the article talk page was out of line and any further comments like that and I would issue a block on my own. I hope you understand my reluctance at stepping in. -- Gogo Dodo 22:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Like I said, I have no problem issuing a block for trolling or user page vandalism if it happens again. It's the sockpuppet issue that I am deferring on. Hopefully, Lar will be able to look at it soon. The test4 is fine. -- Gogo Dodo 22:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
