== Hey - about swiss guard (i forgot to sign in previously) == |
|||
hey, well, just letting you know about those swiss guardes. |
|||
from: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/swiss_guard/swissguard/storia_en.htm |
|||
about: the Reputation of the swiss |
|||
" When, at the end of the 15th century, with Charles VIII the Italian Wars began, the Swiss were described by the Italian historian, Guicciardini, as "the nerve and the hope of an army". In 1495 the life of the King of France was saved thanks to the immovable firmness of his Swiss foot-soldiers. The foreign service of the Confederates was better regulated under the 1521 alliance between France and the Cantons. With it the Swiss agreed to provide from six to sixteen thousand men for the King and in return the Cantons would benefit from the protection of the most powerful European prince. They became permanent allies and auxiliaries, but the Cantons were still the true sovereigns of the troops and reserved to themselves the right to withdraw them. These armed corps were completely independent, with their own regulations, their own judges and their own flags. The orders were given in their own language, German, by Swiss officers and they remained under the law of their Cantons: in short, the regiment was their fatherland and all these customs were confirmed in similar agreements made in later years." |
|||
and from howstuffworks: |
|||
"The first was the Swiss Guard, whose soldiers became so skilled with close-combat weapons, especially the spearlike pike, that warlords all over Europe began recruiting them for battle." |
|||
about swiss being "better" (for a lack of a better word/description in relevance to the topic) |
|||
i place in "a certain aspect" since the swiss were still - even after the widespread use of the arquebus (by general infantry and the Landsknechte) - regarded as 'the best' when it game to pikes. however, the different style of the Landsknechte allowed them to incorporate the arquebus and other firearms much easier - thus making them less vulnerable to fire arms - but still, in hand to hand, it was commonly accepted the swiss where better - that is because they general formation allowed to be more deadly in hand to hand, as the Landsknechte, which had some arquebus armed soldiers, where less effective since they had those arquebus. i'm not sure if this makes sense, but i hope it does... xD |
|||
as for the " the Swiss mercenaries were still looked upon as the best available troops, and the Landsknecht a cheaper copy." it's the same story as above. (which should mention now that i have revisited it, i should have added that it is in relevance to their hand-to-hand and pike skills), perhaps: ( the Swiss mercenaries were still looked upon as the best available troops - in terms of melee -, and the Landsknecht a cheaper copy) and they where actually cheaper, then they did copy the swiss see --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsknecht |
|||
hope this is enough, i also have read books - but i cannot remember the titles right now - its 00.35 here. anyhow. |

Just to avoid any misunderstanding, I deleted the consideration for deletion; the page has already been deleted and there is no requirement to discuss whether it should get deleted or not. In the future, I will provide an explanation if I do this, so thank you for alerting me. For your information, I created that page and wished to delete it, because the issue was not relevant anymore.

editing on a page you messaged me about
I have documented proof that what I edited was approved by a court of law. The persons page I was editing continuously lies about a relationship that never happened for the purpose of reckless attachment. Its all a media ploy. Zero factual evidence supporting her claim. So, moving forward, as she adds her lies for the media, I have the right to delete them. Also, there is no difference between her posting fake marriage information that NEVER happened, and the links of bad press describing her personal life character of being a snake and media whore. Slander is not something taking lightly on the internet in 2012, almost 2013 and she is 100% slanderous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.112.64.32 (talk • contribs)

Joanna Clapps Herman
Hi Jim. I created a Wiki article for Joanna Clapps Herman back in July. It was deleted because she was deemed not notable. I was hoping I could try again, I found some additional citations and believe it could add to her notability, especially as an Italian American woman speaker/scholar/ creative writer. Can you give me some advice as to how I can try again? Thanks so much! Srdemuro (talk) -Sam

Balija
There are a lot of wrong quotations on the article Balija, which is a major Telugu speaking Hindu caste. Books written by authors belonging to other castes, other religions sometimes would be insulting to Balija caste. So when I removed some quotations, lines on Balija caste page, there was a reason since these references were derogative to my Balija caste / community. For a Hindu more then religion, the Caste to which one belongs is more important since the caste/community tag adds prestige. Please kindly understand our sensitivities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.178.250.71 (talk • contribs)

The Fugitive
I had made a number of constructive edits with proper citations to the page in a single edit. The user TheOldJacobite, deleted all of my additions and reverted the page without a proper explanantion. This user then begins to insert some of my improvements to the article one by one. I'm not engaged in an edit war. I'm entitled to make improvements to an article with properly sourced citations. The user TheOldJacobite insists on reverting the page back to an earlier version that contains few, if any reputable reliable sourcing. He then attempts to add my additions one by one. I haven't done anything wrong. He should be given a warning for edit warring. Moovi (talk) 02:34, 25 December 2012 (UTC

Hi, Jim1138,
I am a Taiwanese Wikipedian who mainly edits at Chinese Wikipedia since 2008. Thank You for kindly helping protect my user/talk page. I am a rollbacker and often confront with at least one long-term abuser among others. With lots of new IPs and accounts, this suspected person (very likely from China) vandalizes various articles these three months again and again. I was already targeted many times. Thanks and Have a Wonderful 2013!

Disruptive editing
Hello Jim1138! I'm sorry for the disruptive editing of the strongman article. I made an unfortunate mistake and accidentally overwrote Park Chung-hee while adding the section about Adolf Hitler. In addition, it seems, I misunderstood the note and citation-system. All these brackets and tags are very confusing to me and I lost concentration trying to add what seemed like a simple and correct section. It's indeed quite a puzzle trying to contribute! Thanks for your notice!

List of LGBT characters in television
The reason why I removed Dean Winchester from the list is because he is not bisexual. After 8 seasons, they would've given us at least a hint of bisexuality coming from the character. I do not believe it is correct to insinuate something like that, and misinform people, even if it is said unconfirmed, only because the bromance between him and an other character is so highly exaggerated by a big part of the fandom. That is all. I really recommend you to remove him from the list again, as it would be the most rational thing to do.

- How about a Wikipedia:Third opinion? Or, Wikipedia:Request for comment? The NY Times does seem to be quite clear that he was suspended, but Xyz appears to disagree. Do you have a court document stating that Fisher is suspended? Otherwise this might fall under WP:BLPCRIME, with the emphasis on might. I would suggest starting a conversation in talk:Ivan Fisher, perhaps removing the warning. That is usually a prerequisite to filing a complaint on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. 3RR does bite back, be careful. I am rather busy and won't take the time to look into it now. Good luck, and thanks for minding the fort! Jim1138 (talk) 07:02, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

shoelace nipples
Dear jim1138,
First of all, im a big George Lucas fan. That said, shoelace nipple has been a common nickname for the aglet for as far as I can remember. I would have made the change sooner, but I am new to the internet. During the great depression, when my mother made aglets out of "paper and glue" (as your wikipedia article shows) and she convinced my siblings and me to take care of them by calling them "shoelace nipples" which, at the time (1933) was easier to pronounce than aglet for my younger brother, Woodrow (1929-1987). The name "shoelace nipple" caught on in our camp of Okies and we, in many ways, survived the depression by beginning to manufacture them as a cooperative in the San Joaquin Valley. This term is common in the oral traditions of the Central Valley of California.
Best,

Off-Off Campus edits
Jim1138, I made the edits to the Off-Off campus article because the original article contained some factual errors. The Compass Players started at Fred Wranovic's Compass Tavern down 55th Street from Jimmy's (Woodlawn Tap) and both establishments were near but not actually on the Uni. of Chicago campus despite many student's (and faculty's) hazy memories. As a frequenter of both establishments in the 1950s and 1960s, I have fond but not entirely hazy memories. Jimski20 (talk) 22:13, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey! About the edit I made to Cynthia Ann Parker's page. In the intro paragraph, it says she was kidnapped at age nine. But, she was born on October 29, 1827, and disappeared on May 19, 1836. The math adds up to her being kidnapped at age eight, not nine, if the kidnapping was after Oct 29, then she would've been nine. And even in the info box, that's what it says. Truly, it's no big deal at all, that's just what was going through my mind when I made the edit. Keep it the way it is, or change it, whatever you like. I just wanted to help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.69.245 (talk) 01:39, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- The problem appears to be that her birth date is anywhere from 1824 - 1827. I added refs for those dates and gave her age at kidnapping as 9 or 10. Still does not clarify everything. I would suggest checking sources to verify things before changing them. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 02:03, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

If a page gets vandalized excessively and Doddathota is not by any means heavily vandalized, one can request page protection via wp:rfpp. Only administrators can add and remove page protection. I am not an admin. My recommendation is to put the page on your watch list. BTW: Doddathota was not vandalized, it was more like wp:spammed.

There should be no reason that Alrofficial's view is superior to yours. If you continue to have problems, let me know. Please avoid continuous reverting (see wp:3rr) as it could result in a wp:block Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 11:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

There's no confirmation that he's playing Ramsay Snow.
I made the edit to his page because the official notice from HBO is that he's joined the cast in the role of 'BOY' and have made no confirmation of Ramsay Snow, though it is widely speculated and almost certain that he is playing that role. The official word is that he is 'Boy' and until the show premieres and the spoiler revealed that he is indeed Ramsay, he is boy. You're wrongfully reverting my edits when I actually did provide a source. http://winteriscoming.net/2012/07/iwan-rheon-cast-in-game-of-thrones/ 24.105.216.77 (talk) 01:54, 22 January 2013 (UTC) STOP REVERTING MY EDITS WHEN THEY ARE A FACT
- You were linking to Boy which is about the homosapien youth, not the character. Please check your work before saving. BTW: please use secondary, not primary sources. Iwan Rheon's statements are primary. There are plenty of second sources stating he is to be Ramsay Snow. Iwan Rheon is likely under a non-disclosure requiring that he deny it. So it is *not* a fact.

I know my nation, I do not need any citation for the basic ground reality to prove, reality doesnot need facts to prove. and please do not use militant word wherever my nations name is being used, how would you like if I or any of the people around the world start using this militant word with your or your nation's or their children's name. Intentions should be brotherhood among the world and not to use abusive language. I have deleted the word militant in the description regarding Bharat Mata and other corrections also. All my decisions were correct and appropriate. with regards, A Bhartian Citizen.

You should be trouted, but...
...I don't ordinarily do that sort of thing. Your series of escalating warning at User talk:Colinrhar are totally inappropriate, as he was not editing when you starting reverting his edits. It's fine to leave a single warning (perhaps with a note that you have reverted edits on multiple articles), but beating an editor over the head with warnings when he has not been online to read the first notice is overkill. I am going to revert all of the warnings after your first one, because it's rather extreme newbie-biting. (He's been here for a while, but outside of a pair of edits over three years ago, he hasn't been active for even a week yet). If the disruptive editing pattern continues, escalation is appropriate, but let him read the warning first. Additionally, you need to throttle back on your usage of huggle; you should have caught that the last four edits to his talk page were all warnings left by you, through Huggle. They were sequential edits by you, so it's not hard to notice a pattern if you're not flying through. Horologium (talk) 20:37, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, huggle does not seem to follow those rules very well. It does some of the time and I do undo it when I notice, but it is hard to keep track of it. I did report the problem (again) to Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback. There was no comment about it the last time I reported it. Thanks for catching the problem.

I realize you may have speed editing, rather than actually checking what you were changing, but could you explain to me what is wrong with correcting an obviously wrong year, by removing an unsourced year and replacing it with another unsourced year? I thought there was something about assuming good faith? Obviously I don't back as you didn't.

- Sorry, but I am not going to thoroughly research your edits, and I doubt others will either. If you would leave an wp:edit summary, you might prevent the revert as well as me (and others) having to (re-)research your changes. I did check a November 2012 version in which the date was 1919, suggesting that your edit was not a revert on someone else's vandalism. If you don't want to leave an edit summary, I suspect others will undo your changes too. If you are not going to supply sources, nor explanation, why not flag it as "needs work" and let other's do the work? Sorry about that, but that is the way Wikipedia seems to work. And, I'm sure lots of good edits are removed that way; though far more bad edits. BTW: please read the instructions at the top of my page or on wp:user talk pages on how to leave a note on other's talk pages. It is customary to leave it on the bottom of the page and not in the middle of the page. It makes finding new edits difficult. Jim1138 (talk) 04:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- And I did leave a very brief edit summary, rtfm. This error would be EXTREMELY obvious to anyone who knows anything about the subject, or indeed anyone born in Ireland. Given how obvious it was I felt rtfm was more than enough information. I did not anticipate someone editing on a subject matter they know nothing about, and requiring that any unsourced information removed be replaced with sourced information. 76.26.217.48 (talk) 04:35, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- I am not the first person (by far) to say this to you, please do not make edits on subject matters you know nothing about. I would like to add, don't make edits purely based on edit summaries either, or if you are unwilling to check things. What others may or may not do is immaterial. If you go around all day using tools or bots to do this you are to all intents and purposes vandalizing Wikipedia by throughing away lots of good edits. AGF implies you do not lose some good edits for the purpose of losing bad ones. It is straight up vandalism, and edit clocking. It is not how many edits you make that counts. 76.26.217.48 (talk) 04:47, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- You put an edit summary on Secession an article on international affairs, leave a cryptic summary and expect it to be reviewed only by Irish? No. You need to understand that your edits will be reviewed by lay people and judged by your ability to supply reliable sources and summaries. Most of the comments above are by people who are simply too lazy to do so. This is an international Wikipedia, not the Irish Wikipedia. Jim1138 (talk) 04:55, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- no, I expected no one to revert my change without understanding anything about the content of it. Your scatter fire use of hg makes it clear, combined with numerous complaints, that you regularly revert based on edit summaries rather than knowledge of the content in question. And as I said the bad date I changed was unsourced. The period aka full stop in this paragraph is also unsourced but Im pretty sure it is round. You should not change the year stated unless you know, or have good reason to believe it to be different. whether you are Irish, Maori or Martian, it shouldn't matter. . 76.26.217.48 (talk) 05:03, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- if you felt the date required a citation (dubious) you could have used the template to request one. Though I'm sure as HG doesn't have that it was too inconvenient and would slow you down, as you have already stated you were unwilling to check. Slow down" and stop reverting everyone's hard work, the collateral damage is not acceptable under AGF 76.26.217.48 (talk) 05:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- The burden of evidence is on you. You changed a long standing date. If you don't make it clear what your change is for, expect a revert. Don't be lazy. Jim1138 (talk) 05:12, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

- AGF? That inconsequential warning on your talk page was not AFG? No threats, no consequences. Now you are really blowing things out of proportion. I nor other knowledgeable editors are going to {{cn}} or {{dubious}} every questionable edit. Don't plaster {{Cn}}'s all over my page. That is vandalism. 05:32, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

- The eronious revert, especially combined with your own admission that it was based on a edit summary and that you were unwilling to check whether or not you were correct, you basically made a revert on which you had no basis to know whether or not you were right. That is the AGF problem. It has also made me aware of a user with a very long term pattern of similar reverts with no basis in fact, and extremely tenuous grounds for suspicion, certainly not enough to overcome AGF. in effect, it appears to me' that whether intention or nor (and IMHO unintentional, just a lack of awareness of AGF) constitutes an ongoing, high volume systemic newbie biting, data loss, and basically, vandalism. AGF is designed to prevent amongst other things collateral damage by you treating edits as suspicious unless proven to (your) satisfaction otherwise. Your use of the phrase burden of proof proves it... Please start using AGF in your edits, and take th time to check and understand the content, or stick in subject matters you are strong in. There are far too many edits affected by this behavior, and to be honest I am going to have to get some admin help if it persists. AGF. 76.26.217.48 (talk) 05:41, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Christian Muenzners focal dystonia
I added Christian Muenzner (Obscura, Necrophagist) to a list of notable musicians with focal dystonia. heres my source, he says it himself in this video on his channel, scroll down a bit on the comments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQEofFH5Ncw
"shredguitarchris 1 month ago I suffer from a neurologic disorder that affects my fretting hand due to a re-mapping of neural pathways which leads to misfiring neurons in the brain. This affects my fretting hand which is why my 2nd finger curls back and is almost unusable. 1 2 combinations on the left hand do not work anymore. The disorder is called Focal Dystonia, you can look it up. It does not affect my life outside of guitar playing though. I have it since about 4 years." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.237.201.239 (talk) 17:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion: [[Christian Muenzner]]<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQEofFH5Ncw YouTube: Christian Munzner interview discusses focal dystonia - 12:34]</ref> Replace the time 12:34 with the start of the discussion on focal dystonia? I notice that someone has already replaced his name. If there is a reference on Christian Muenzner's page, there would be no reason to add it again. It should be somewhere per wikipedia:verifiablity.

Thanks for your messages, Jim. I signed my talk page and filled in the edit summary. Talk pages don't have the same rules as the encyclopedia section, do they? As I understand it; they're a place for informal, but polite, discussion. By the way, I think Wikipedia is a reliable source. Sure, anybody can post anything. But their post will quickly be deleted if it's in any way inappropriate. A person only has to check a page several times over a period of months and they can be certain they're getting reliable information.

Hi Jim. I made that edit to the Second Crusade article because I thought it made more sense. Since "Saracens" is used for the Muslims, which was what the Europeans called the Muslims, I thought "Franks" would make sense for the Christians since that is what the Muslims called them. Hope for a reply. 70.187.179.139 (talk) 04:37, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
- Policy, I believe, is to use the most common name. See WP:COMMONNAME regarding article titles. I would suspect that "Crusaders" and more common than "Franks". I personally understand Franks as Germanic tribes, not Crusaders. And Franks article is about Germanic tribes. Franks (disambiguation), the first link is to French people So, it would seem that the "common name" is "Crusaders", and not "Franks" Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 05:04, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
- And the first link on Franks (disambiguation) says: "French people (or Crusaders in general) in the context of medieval Middle Eastern history" And the Article Franks says: "In the Middle Ages the term Frank was used in the East as a synonym for western European, as the Franks were then rulers of most of western Europe." But I understand what you mean about the policy, so forget about that stuff. But going with the same train of thought, wouldn't it be more appropriate then to write "Muslims" rather than "Saracens"? Isn't "Muslim" more common then "Saracen"? 70.187.179.139 (talk) 06:35, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey - about swiss guard (i forgot to sign in previously)
hey, well, just letting you know about those swiss guardes.
from: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/swiss_guard/swissguard/storia_en.htm about: the Reputation of the swiss
" When, at the end of the 15th century, with Charles VIII the Italian Wars began, the Swiss were described by the Italian historian, Guicciardini, as "the nerve and the hope of an army". In 1495 the life of the King of France was saved thanks to the immovable firmness of his Swiss foot-soldiers. The foreign service of the Confederates was better regulated under the 1521 alliance between France and the Cantons. With it the Swiss agreed to provide from six to sixteen thousand men for the King and in return the Cantons would benefit from the protection of the most powerful European prince. They became permanent allies and auxiliaries, but the Cantons were still the true sovereigns of the troops and reserved to themselves the right to withdraw them. These armed corps were completely independent, with their own regulations, their own judges and their own flags. The orders were given in their own language, German, by Swiss officers and they remained under the law of their Cantons: in short, the regiment was their fatherland and all these customs were confirmed in similar agreements made in later years."
and from howstuffworks: "The first was the Swiss Guard, whose soldiers became so skilled with close-combat weapons, especially the spearlike pike, that warlords all over Europe began recruiting them for battle."
about swiss being "better" (for a lack of a better word/description in relevance to the topic)
i place in "a certain aspect" since the swiss were still - even after the widespread use of the arquebus (by general infantry and the Landsknechte) - regarded as 'the best' when it game to pikes. however, the different style of the Landsknechte allowed them to incorporate the arquebus and other firearms much easier - thus making them less vulnerable to fire arms - but still, in hand to hand, it was commonly accepted the swiss where better - that is because they general formation allowed to be more deadly in hand to hand, as the Landsknechte, which had some arquebus armed soldiers, where less effective since they had those arquebus. i'm not sure if this makes sense, but i hope it does... xD
as for the " the Swiss mercenaries were still looked upon as the best available troops, and the Landsknecht a cheaper copy." it's the same story as above. (which should mention now that i have revisited it, i should have added that it is in relevance to their hand-to-hand and pike skills), perhaps: ( the Swiss mercenaries were still looked upon as the best available troops - in terms of melee -, and the Landsknecht a cheaper copy) and they where actually cheaper, then they did copy the swiss see --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsknecht
hope this is enough, i also have read books - but i cannot remember the titles right now - its 00.35 here. anyhow.
