[edit] Edit/deletion to Don Quixote
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from an article. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
- Additionally, you may wish to see how citations is accomplished. Your edit destroyed a citation. Furthermore, you should not erase your talkpage when it has messages like this one posted on it. Ronbo76 21:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- The citation was no longer correct because another user had modified it, and was thus removed. I was not sure what to do but my intention was to delete misinformation found on Wikipedia. Bewtros 21:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have watched all the translations/edits. Part of the problem is that when the novel was written, Spanish was truly a Romance language with poetic if not literary alliterations. With the evolution of English and even Spanish, any one word can be translated almost 10 different ways at a minimum. I would suggest since someone else modified your original citation, to please discuss what the original statement was. For example, if I had put in a translation saying Los dias tiene calor meant The days are hot with a properly cited source, I would create say exactly that:
-
- The translation said Los dias tiene calor meant The days are hot and was properly cited. I recommend the change be over-turned and restored to its original sentence.
-
-
- Almost no one could argue with you on that point and would break it out just like this example so every editor can easily see what is the change. Ronbo76 22:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not erase your talkpage
This has been discussed. Another erasure will bring a message template. Ronbo76 22:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Whoops!
I didn't think the above was relevant any longer but will leave it in case it is. Sorry! Bewtros 23:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- That is part of the reason I did not respond on your page. It is pertinent because it is being discussed on two other talkpages. As Recent Changes Patroller, I know to check a user's history tab if the page is blank. Almost no user on Wikipedia has a blank page.
- It is one thing to archive or store pages when they become long like mine. But to erase warning as from a bot telling you submitted an untagged image or the conversation from the Catalan Portal could be important to another editor in assisting your user level. Warnings should never be erased. Storage, however, in an archive is permitted and should be found somewhere as a link on your user or talkpage. Ronbo76 23:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- I see. It's embarrassing to make (rookie) mistakes (thus the deletions, which will be reinstated), and I'm only here to try to help. It's easy to get discouraged, however. Bewtros 23:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Catalan Literature nominated for deletion
Unfortunately it looks like Portal:Catalan Literature is a portal based on a topic for which there is not a non-stub header article, and as such is a candidate for deletion. feydey 18:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- I suggest reading Wikipedia:Portal/Guidelines. Also if you disagree with this page’s proposed speedy deletion, please add: {{hangon}} to the portal page. feydey 19:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- The problem is still, that Catalan literature, the article this portal is built upon, is a stub article. I suggest working on the mainspace articles before creating a portal. Best, feydey 19:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:AtheneodegrandesaTenditinardua.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AtheneodegrandesaTenditinardua.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 06:05, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Off to a great start
Do not be discouraged. The learning curve is huge. If you think of Wikipedia like being a term paper written for the strictest professor you know, who expects properly cited material with footnotes, you will do okay. Ronbo76 23:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
