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)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Caesar Augusta (Zaragoza). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Zaragoza. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Zaragoza – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

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)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Via Clodia may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• route (between Pitigliano , Sorano and Sovana) on the path of the existing Etruscan "Via Cava"). However we can speak of the Via Clodia from the end of the third century BC, and that from 225 BC

Moving and emptying categories

If you want to rename/move categories, there are established procedures for doing so - see WP:CFD. Not only do those procedures allow a consensus to be established (there are often good reasons for category names being what they are, such as matching article names or other Wikipedia conventions), there are automated tools associated with those procedures that save you the trouble of manually editing all the articles involved. It is serious unhelpful to go about doing manual renames off your own bat, as you did recently with all the Roman fort categories recently. If you are unblocked, I hope you bear this in mind - it may help to have a good read of Wikipedia:Categorization first. Le Deluge (talk) 18:34, 27 August 2016 (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)

Villa of Domitian

Hello,

I wanted to comment on an article you created, Villa of Domitian. It seems like it is a translation of the [Italian language version], and it appears you may have employed a computer translator (perhaps Google Translate) instead of a true translation. This means the article has a number of grammatical mistakes and is lacking many needed references, as you did not include them from the Italian article. Having the article in English is great, but references are what makes Wikipedia so valuable to its readers. Coinmanj (talk) 04:44, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

OK thanks; help in improving the text and references would be appreciated Rjdeadly (talk) 21:57, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Blanking categories

Hello. You really shouldn't manually "move" established categories by emptying old ones and creating new ones as you did recently with British Roman walls/limes. This should be done via WP:Categories for discussion - not only will that mean it's done by consensus and pick the brains of more experienced editors, but if approved it means that the actual move can be achieved by bot rather than by an editor manually changing all the articles. So please don't do it your way. Le Deluge (talk) 10:32, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

OK, thanks for pointing that out; I thought the effective renaming would not be controversial; there are a lot of very bizarre categories there Rjdeadly (talk) 21:54, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

I also noticed this editing pattern, and have reverted some of your recent work. I have three objections to e.g. this edit:

1. the edit summary does not state a rationale for removing the category
2. the category was emptied outside the WP:CFD process
3. the category had recently been populated following consensus at CFD 2017 June 1, and there was a link to this in the page history.

It appears from your response above that you have taken this on board in principle already – thanks. (I started typing this note on another page, and only noticed the above discussion when I decided to paste it on your user talk page instead.) – Fayenatic London 07:52, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

What on earth is this "disestablishment" category anyway?? It makes no sense in common language to the pages included. There is no definition in the category of what it means with reference to the pages. I see no discussion of this nor any consensus. Rjdeadly (talk) 19:39, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. "Disestablishments" covers organizations, places, companies, or other things that ended or were disestablished in the period stated. It's the opposite end of the life cycle from establishments, which means the event of founding or establishing such things.

Some (dis)establishment category pages include that explanation already. I will look into adding it to more of them. – Fayenatic London 21:10, 15 April 2018 (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)
