Your contributed article Segobriga

Hi I've noticed that you have done a lot of work in May on Roman sites in Spain. I think this page of information needs to be moved to Archaeological Park of Segobriga which links to List of Roman sites in Spain. I may do this in a day or so if that's okay with you. I haven't edited Wikipedia for a while but I thought I might do something on this as I have some photos. SuzanneKn (talk) 14:48, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Just seen your comment. I think Segobriga is important enough to need its own page, like the Spanish one, without the need to include "Archaeological Park" in the Title. I will add to it soon. I have no objection to including the material in Archaeological Park of Segobriga. --Rjdeadly (talk) 17:43, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Translations

Hello. It seems you're interested in having some articles on locations in Spain created here on English Wikipedia. If the articles are already on Spanish Wikipedia and you'd like to recommend that others use those as the basis for articles in English here, a couple of ways to go about that are explained at WP:Translation. If you want to take the approach you were taking, you should at least create proper stubs in English. If you do that, then the {{Expand Spanish}} template acts as a suggestion to anyone who might be inclined to expand the stub that they might borrow material from the Spanish version if they are so inclined. If you add no content on your own, it's as though you're giving out assignments for others to do for you. :-) —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Copy-pasting from Wikipedia

Hi! I noticed that you copy-pasted material from Rome into Founding of Rome with the parent page in read-only mode. The citations are therefore merely numeric, and empty per this diff]. Obviously, you didn't thoroughly check the results of your edit. You also performed the copy-paste without acknowledging the Wikipedia source. I really would prefer not to kick up a fuss about this at administrative level, as you do good work here; but you've been politely informed about this and similar copyright issues on several occasions by others, myself included, and have been briefly blocked for breaches in the not-too-distant past. You were unblocked on the understanding that you undertook to comply with policy. Please fix things up at Founding of Rome, take the relevant policy more seriously, and edit with more care in future. Thanks in advance for dealing with this. Best, Haploidavey ([[User talk:|talk]]) 16:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haploidavey: Ok I've explained the text copying on the relevant talk pages, but I don't know how else to comply e.g. to modify the edit summary for the Founding of Rome as it's too late for that nowRjdeadly (talk) 22:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, and the rapid response. Of course, once you hit "save", that's that -- whatever you've done is in the history, "warts and all" -- but you've done the right thing in crediting the source on the talk-page. The citation problem remains, and must be addressed. I suggest you open both Founding of Rome and the Rome article in edit mode, and replace the relevant Founding of Rome content complete with fully embedded inline citations. Then carefully check the refs, giving full titles etc if these have been truncated (which is likely). Complete the edit summary (including acknowledgment of source), hit save, et voila! you've made good. Hope that's clear. Haploidavey (talk) 08:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haploidavey: Thanks. Hope that's ok now Rjdeadly (talk) 10:22, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Pretty much OK, apart from the Coarelli reference, which should be written in full, with page number, for the first use under "References". Although Coarelli is also under "Further reading", that's a slightly different issue (it suggests reading the whole work, not just the particular page used in the references. It would also be helpful to include the relevant page number for Heiken, G., Funiciello, R. and De Rita, D. (2005). Cheers. Haploidavey (talk) 10:57, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Now you are asking me to further improve the originals, as the Coarelli reference was not written in full for its first use, neither was relevant page number given for Heiken. Perhaps someone else can help.Rjdeadly (talk) 13:58, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Well, one can ask, and every little helps. But as you say... Haploidavey (talk) 14:14, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, call me cynical but I have yet to see much major support on improving some of the very poor pages on similar subjects in the last few yearsRjdeadly (talk) 16:53, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Roman Walls & Limes

Hi, you seem to be systematically emptying categories of the articles. You seem to have a preference for Category:Roman defensive walls in Britain. Why is this? What's your problem with categorising walls / limes by Roman province? Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:51, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Roman Walls is a nonsensical category. There are many thousands of Roman walls most of which do not warrant a description nor certainly a category. What is meant by walls in these pages is "defensive walls" so the correct description should be used. "Limes" is word that is obscure and has a specific meaning and context, mainly applying to the border in Germany. The use of this word elsewhere is a bizarre invention. "Defensive wall" is clear, obvious and better. Rjdeadly (talk) 19:32, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

It is not my personal view as the quality of this sculpture is well documented in the references (and others) given. You seem to think there is no difference between a superb sculpture and a lump of stone, and no way of judging the quality of pieces of art. Is the Mona Lisa just a piece of cloth and paint?

Villa Guilia (Ventotene) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Villa Guilia (Ventotene), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Melania the Younger. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:28, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
