I'm working on Juan Mateos and will let you know once I'm done. I have a couple of things to add to JMS - I remember seeing an old photo of the square while it was being excavated for the construction of the underground air-raid shelter, so I'm trying to remember where I saw it in order to upload it. I've also found quite a bit of info on John Mackintosh himself, so it might be a good idea to start one on him too. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 12:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're done with Juan Mateos... --Gibmetal 77talk 14:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: John Mackintosh Square

Sorry I havent reviewed it yet, I've had a few busy days as well as being unable to go online most of yesterday due to a Gibraltar-wide power failure also affecting Gibtelecom's services even after power was restored. I notice you've already moved it to the mainspace, however, I'll still have a look at it and might add some more. Normal editing should resume soon, just bare with me a little... --Gibmetal 77talk 22:40, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Yes I'll think of something for DYK. I already did for Juan Mateos. --Gibmetal 77talk 07:01, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article is looking good! The events section can be expanded a bit by adding something on Hassan and Isola's visit to the UN, when crowds filled the square to wish them well and then again to welcome them back. The Gibraltar Government Lottery also used to be drawn publicly at the square and still is at times. However, I think the evacuation section has too much irrelevant detail. I suggest trimming the background information so the bit relevant to the square is more prominent and linking to History of Gibraltar during World War II or the future article on the evacuation. Your thoughts? --Gibmetal 77talk 19:42, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you look in at Talk:Pedro Roldán? Two places where I could use a view from a native Spanish speaker. - Jmabel | Talk 06:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Larios family

I've brushed up on the History of nationality in Gibraltar and it seems you may be right. Feel free to reinstate it, especially if it's what the source says (I'd be grateful if you could check the source when you can). Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 20:31, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the confirmation, Ecemaml. Change it back, it should be OK. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 22:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the links. Perhaps another article we can write? --Gibmetal 77talk 22:00, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi to you

Hi Ecemaml.

You are completely right. On the other hand, I think that we all can work together more easily (at least, I know we have to work together if we want to edit the Gib article) and I was giving it another try, because if we don't solve this issue now, sooner or later we will end up wasting lots of time. Also, I didn't want to keep editing the Gibraltar articles until the dispute was over (in order to avoid bad feelings): when this is over I want to make some edits in a few Gib articles... Anyway, you are right and I won't dedicate much more time.

Meanwhile, I am mostly working -offline- on sources for a completely different article: Karl Popper. It's a shame that this article does not even reach the Good category because of lack of citations (I understand why, because I'm having a pretty hard job going over all of the material, years after I last saw it...)

I really don't think that you will get blocked (I really think that it would be completely disproportionate) and, in the worst case, three months is nothing! (and, sadly, it's less and less every year...) Tell me anything that I can do to lend a hand. Un abrazo. -- Imalbornoz (talk) 16:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC) PS: I sent you an e-mail regarding a totally off-wiki hobby, did you receive it?[reply]

Re: Off

That's a real shame as it seems we were on a roll! However, I find it's not worth stressing over anything at all. If you do decide to stay away for sometime, you'll be missed but I'll try to carry on working on new articles by myself. Let me know as soon as you return. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 22:53, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No prolem. I'll be looking into Casemates next. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 06:48, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
Thanks for the observation... that's true and I recognize that it would have been better to discuss it before.

United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories

Hello!
[1] That sounds better :) However, I have one question: Why putting "occupied by Morocco" while putting "under the control of the Polisario"? Isn't sth like "under moroccan control" more NPOV?
Btw, thanks :)

Re: Back

Good to see you're back! I'm off to a Museum lecture now. I'll catch up with editing tonight. --Gibmetal 77talk 18:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was quite interesting, but it was just a lecture held at the John Mackintosh Hall theatre so nothing to photograph there. Here's the synopsis and here's a picture of the traditional red cloaks. I don't have a photo of Bomb House (Gibraltar Museum) yet but it's a photo I have in mind together with another thousand or so - I haven't forgotten about taking pics of the shrine and cathedral of St Mary the Crowned as you requested! Today I had the remainder of my stitches out and soon I'll be able to carry a bit more weight so I can take my camera bag with me. I've been finishing work late these days so I'll have to find a weekend for this. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 22:15, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gibraltar

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following is a summary of the remedies enacted:

  • Any uninvolved administrator may, in his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor editing Gibraltar or other articles concerning the history, people, or political status of Gibraltar if, after a warning, that editor repeatedly or seriously violates the behavioral standards or editorial processes of Wikipedia in connection with these articles.
  • Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard) or the Arbitration Committee.
  • Gibnews (talk · contribs) is topic-banned from editing the Gibraltar article and other articles concerning the history, people, and political status of Gibraltar, broadly construed, for one year. Should Gibnews return to editing relating to Gibraltar following this period, he is reminded to edit in accordance with the principles discussed in this decision and will be subject to the discretionary sanctions remedy should he fail to do so.
  • Gibnews is strongly warned that nationally or ethnically offensive comments are prohibited on Wikipedia and that substantial sanctions, up to a ban from the site, will be imposed without further warning in the event of further violations.
  • Justin A Kuntz (talk · contribs) is topic-banned from editing Gibraltar and other articles concerning the history, people, and political status of Gibraltar, broadly construed, for three months. Should Justin A Kuntz return to editing relating to Gibraltar following this period, he is reminded to edit in accordance with the principles discussed in this decision and will be subject to the discretionary sanctions remedy should he fail to do so.
  • Ecemaml (talk · contribs) is admonished for having, at times, assumed bad faith and edited tendentiously concerning the history and political status of Gibraltar.
  • Editors are reminded that when editing in subject areas of bitter and long-standing real-world conflict, it is all the more important to comply with Wikipedia policies such as assuming good faith of all editors including those on the other side of the real-world dispute, writing with a neutral point of view, remaining civil and avoiding personal attacks, utilizing reliable sources for contentious or disputed assertions, and resorting to dispute resolution where necessary.
  • Any editor who is closely associated with a particular source or website relating to the subject of Gibraltar or any other article is reminded to avoid editing that could be seen as an actual or apparent attempt to promote that source or website or to give it undue weight over other sources or website in an article's references or links. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, it may be best in these circumstances to mention the existence of the source or website on the talkpage, and allow the decision whether to include it in the article to made by others.

For the Arbitration Committee, ---- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 23:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Advice...

Ecemaml - I suggest you avoid all contact with Justin and Narson. Ignore their posts elsewhere on the arbcom case and don't post on their talk page. Let's just conduct ourselves with decorum on the Gib pages, being civil etc. If they are not willing to draw a line in the sand now, then perhaps in time they may be willing to put the past behind them on the basis of our contributions from this point forwards. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 14:24, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To quote from Rollback's section on acceptable uses of rollback: to revert content in your own user space. Always best to double check before trying to lecture people. --Narson ~ Talk • 17:43, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's not that simple: see here --Ecemaml (talk) 10:01, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately from my own experience once Justin holds a grudge he will not budge. I tried to make peace with him but he wasn't interested at all. RHOPF is right when he say's you should avoid his comments. Cheers.--English Bobby (talk) 19:48, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Capital punishment in Gibraltar

Hi Ecemaml. I want to release this article into the mainspace soon and was wondering if you have any further info you might want to add? I'll upload a photo for it soon. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 19:07, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I appreciate your help. Hope the kids are OK. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 15:24, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

El Calpense - expansion

FYI, I've purchased the latest Gibraltar Heritage Journal which includes an article on this newspaper by Joshua Marrache. I'll therefore be working on expanding the history section. Regards, --Gibmetal 77talk 19:14, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea on the photo wishlist! Actually, yesterday was the Museum's open day and even though photography is not allowed within the museum I took my camera to take some shots of the area (Bomb House, both cathedrals, etc). I've already uploaded a couple and I'll go uploading the rest as and when I can. Luckily, before I left home yesterday I saw you were working on the Gibraltar Archives so I took a shot of its entrance. I had also just learned that the Imprenta Calpense was located at College Lane so I went to have a look. Lo and behold I found a doorway bearing the plaque "Calpense House", so I took a shot of that too! --Gibmetal 77talk 15:38, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
Can you please help me to understand what did Bokpasa write on my commons discussion page[2]? (My Spanish is weak and Google Translation didn't give me sth "understandable")

2006 Referendum

Hi Ecemaml. I undid your "restoration" of the 2006 paragraph. I'm not sure whether you missed it, but I had added mention of and a link to the referendum at the point where the Constitution is discussed, in the 2006 referendum. [3]. The "recent history" has way too much information - we need to be ruthless in cutting it down, and this is really a matter for the politics section, which can be covered in detail in the Politics of Gibraltar and Gibraltarian constitutional referendum, 2006 articles.

Help about copyrights

Hi Ecemaml,

Do you think that some picture here could be copyright free? You can see that they were taken in 1909 and published in "El Periódico Melillense".
