00:40, 26 November 2005 (UTC) Santa Luċija
- Santa Lucija - months ago I had created this article. Obviously it has to be merged with St. Lucia's. I personally do not agree on the name St.Lucia's. If anything, It should be St.Lucia - or simple merge with Santa Lucija, as renaming as St. Lucia one would have to create a disambiguation page with St. Lucia (Malta) and St. Lucia (the country) Maltesedog 15:44, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- In the MaZE it is Santa Luċija with the ċ. I don't at all prefer the spelling linked into the template.. I found it linked that way from the 'list of local councils'. Sounds like the Santa Lucija should move to [{Santa Luċija]] and the links move to point there.. can probably request deletion on st.lucija's? Srl 16:36, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yes I agree. But I doubt whether people are willing to search with the Maltese alphabet. Certainly foreigners do not have such characters on their keyboard. So its good if we place a rediret from St. Lucija to St. Luċija. (This would be done automatically if we move the page.) In the meantime I'm placing an afd for St. Lucia's.
- I think such things should be redirects here on en, with the real content with the correct names. On mt we have only the correct names. Srl 22:23, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Matter resolved by redirecting St. Lucia's to Santa Luċija. Maltesedog 20:26, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Boy um, ... that was a short AfD phase, mhux hekk? np though i think since i made the other page. I think you didn't fix the template and LC lists, i'll fix 'em. Srl 21:57, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- I fixed the templates. St. Lucia's is history! I think this matter is resolved.. Srl 10:29, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Malta template? 00:43, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Please discuss the template itself here. Srl 21:33, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- The template has St. Paul's Bay in brackets.
Also the english version of Santa Lucija is Sta Lucia as far as i know not St. Lucia's. I have also replied to your comments placed on the peer review page. Maltesedog 10:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Cool. I just finished making an article for all of the malta LC's (not gozo yet..) they are very stubby please feel free to expand.. as to St. Lucia's i just created it, sorry :/ how should it best be fixed? Srl 09:30, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- Categorization question here - input needed.. Srl 09:48, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
07:28, 27 November 2005 (UTC) Saint Julian
I had made an attempt to throw most of the information in this town under an article called St. Julian because its irrelevant to the village.
A certain person has replaced the content back into the village.
How are we to proceed?
Maltesedog 10:57, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- It looks like you removed the section instead of linking to it.. where did you move it to? Looking at Talk:St. Julian's, if I didn't read your comment here, it wouldn't be clear what you are saying, I think you mean "the information on st julian is irrelevant and should be moved elsewhere"? In summary, I suggest that you expand your comments on the Talk:St. Julian's page so that they reflect (briefly) the situation and concern, even to those you are not addressing directly, and lets discuss it on that page. (hope this makes sense..) I think I am in agreement that it should be moved. OK, I found it: Saint_Julian was removed as a copyright violation.. Srl 17:42, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Its probably copied from some book this time as well. I don't know! I had created the article (the IP number is mine), but soon realised it was copied... is this text copied or what? Maltesedog 20:00, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- It says 'from MUSEUM with permission'. I took a stab at separating it again... seem to have avoided the copyvio: Saint Julian.. Srl 01:58, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
- Agree Maltesedog 20:33, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- Discovered another Saint with the name Julian which is redirected from the page St Julian. A disambiguation page is neccessary? Maltesedog 20:36, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yep, i think so. Maybe ask at the Saint or List of Saints page for help? Srl 08:23, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- I think this can be done easily by ourselves, but if you believe we should ask please do so Maltesedog 12:23, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

- Here's a proposal. I don't think a disambiguation page is needed.. I don't know how much of this needs to be proposed on the pages themselves or not.
- Move Saint_Julian to Julian the Poor or something
- make St. Julian's and any other current links link to the new page
- (note St Julian is only linked one time, from Sherborne.)
- Put at the top of both Julian the Poor and Julian of Norwich a see-also link to the other.
I wouldn't be opposed to a disambiguation page, but I almost think it would be better to not do one if there are just links between the two articles. Just my Lm0.02 Srl 17:08, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Not sure whether the reference as St. Julian as Julian the Poor is theologically correct. (Need to check). I think it would be better to ask for help. Maltesedog 12:41, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Ma nafx.. just used that as an example. That's why I said Maybe ask at the Saint or List of Saints page Srl 18:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- please Archive when you are happy, mtdog. Srl 03:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- Placed a request in the saints talk page. Maltesedog 08:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

- Dustin zammit - see Talk:Dustin zammit - copyvio? is he even a footballer? Srl 16:40, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- No results in the "Google Test", would propose for afd as "non-notable" Maltesedog 20:02, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Let's wait to see if he responds. Valletta United (Valletta FC?) is real, a player in it might be notable? Srl 22:31, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
- Valletta United (?) is an old Valletta football team of pre-war times see [1] Maltesedog 12:18, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Sky Malta does not exist. The player is only 16 years old (therefore does not play in local leagues). Non-notability, therefore is an issue. Maltesedog 12:22, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- OK, agree on AFD then.. do you want to propose it? Srl 16:57, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Done, let's see the afd process before archiving Maltesedog 12:38, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

The proposal for {{Malta-stub}} has been filed! You can see it here under stub proposals - please feel free to add Malta related stubs to that list. Srl 17:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Prosit Maltesedog 20:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- My fingers are going to fall off, but i think i tagged 'em all. 「ѕʀʟ·!」 06:06, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the good job. I was a bit busy in the last days, couldn't help much. Maltesedog 09:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi all
Hi, I was wondering if a Maltese Wikipedian could lend their knowledge to an AfD on an article entitled Strampop, which is some kind of article on a genre of music in Malta, which includes everyone from Arctic Monkeys Incubus to Radiohead and Pink Floyd. A guy from Malta has created this article, which is currently up for AfD here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Strampop. There seems to be no google hits whatever to confirm this article exists, and it really looks like he's made it up. However, I don't know anything about Malta, other than it's in the Mediterranean, has a football team called Valetta, and won the George Cross after getting battered in World War 2. Which is to say, I really can't tell if this guy has made this up, or if it really is a widely used term in Malta. Please could you guys weigh in at the AfD. Thanks.
