[edit] Religious terrorism

See my edit comment. None of those are Islamic groups, they're generally secular, some are communist. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:13, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Lists by religion-ethnicity and profession

Hi, could you elaborate on your comment to the discussion? If you think the proposal needs to be changed to be more inclusive then please describe exactly what change would satisfy you. Regards, Durova 00:15, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Do not add in claims about people's sexuality without cast-iron certainty. Otherwise you could leave yourself liable to being sued by them. WP is protected from such a defamation case but you may not be. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 01:59, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your Email

Regarding your email, you were not blocked against policy. I suggest you stop complaining about it, as the block will expire in about 23 hours. After that, please add citations for entries you add to List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people, a particularly controversial list. By the way, legal threats will not help you and are grounds for a permanent ban on their own. Superm401 | Talk 19:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC) I note that you didn't flag User:Jtdirl's threats to me. Obviously you are biased against me: why? Carlossuarez46 01:03, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Civility

Please follow Wikipedia:be civil. Calling another editor's comments "useless" doesn't contribute to collegiality. Thanks, -Will Beback 22:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CARTOONS OF MOHAMMED

Showing the figures of Mohammed is disturbing muslims. And it is a insult to Islam. In Islam making and also looking the figures of Mohammed is forbidden.That is raping the holy things of Islam.And it is not about "freedom".PLEASE get back your sıgnature.Thanks.--Erdemsenol 01:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

It's about freedom of speech and no Islamic terrorism is going to deter the truth from outing. And if it's forbidden to look at figures of Mohammed how come you did it; are you going to hell? Carlossuarez46 18:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Religious affiliation category

I see that you have removed "Baptists" from Clay Aiken's entry again, again saying there is no evidence. In his memoirs Aiken states that he grew up in the Baptist church, attended the Moravian church for a time as a teen, and then returned to the Baptist church (pp. 212-213). On page 213 he states, "Today I am a proud Southern Baptist." In addition to that evidence, here's a link from the Raleigh Leesville Baptist Church's website: [1]. -Jmh123 00:35, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Simply put the cite in the article. Carlossuarez46 20:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please avoid moving articles by Cut&Paste

If you want to move an article, like Aleksey Gennadievich Cherneshov do not do cut & paste. Instead just click on the move button (located between history and watch) it is much faster and preserves the history of the article, so it easier to see the changes. Thanks for your work anyway there are not that much Russian editors around abakharev 07:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Russian politicians

Thanks!!! What you are doing is great.

I am fully supportno patronimics in the titles Russian bios (unless there are two equally notable people sharing the same First name and Last name but distinguised by patronimics - in that case First name+Last name should be a disambig), in fact it was a consensus of a discussion on the Russian board. I have moved quite a few of the articles myself, but there are tons more and I am lazy. abakharev 22:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• I do not have an answer for your question and moved it into the Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board#Aleksey or Alexey? Aleksander or Alexander?. Lets see the discussion there abakharev 22:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the {{For templates on Tkachyovs, they help a lot. Maybe in this case we should use the patronimics in the titles and have Alexander Tkachyov as a disambig? abakharev 22:46, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think it is a good idea to move the list, getting rid of the acronim and having List in fron is a Good Thing abakharev 20:47, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translit

Hi, Carlossuarez! Saw your messages on Alex's talk page, regarding translit in particular. Just wanted to welcome you to our can of worms :) Feel free to ask questions if you are interested.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 23:02, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1800Flowers

I posted this on the AfD, but thought I'd ping your talk page since it runs directly counter to what you said:

It is on NASDAQ as "FLWS." As a publicly traded company, you can find the requested info (733.74M USD revenue; 3000 employees). Finally, there has been a lot of non-trivial, non-ad press on the company. --Karnesky 01:42, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of interesting or unusual place names (2nd nomination)

Despite the overwhelming support for keeping the list in article namespace, the above relisting was closed early. At Wikipedia:Deletion review#List of interesting or unusual place_names, the deletion is being reviewed once more (to restore the list from Wikipedia to article namespace (it's currently at Wikipedia:List of interesting or unusual place names). -- User:Docu

[edit] Former place names

Hey, thanks. I can't believe the other guy is accusing me of chauvinism. --Khoikhoi 22:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm. Not that I know of. You might want to check the WikiProjects. --Khoikhoi 22:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello Carlossuarez46,

Yes, many Middle Eastern cities, districts, mountain ranges, rivers, etc have several names. I've added many Kurdish names to Kurdish-related articles. I'll keep adding them whenever I meet such articles. Thanks.

[edit] Salvation Air Force

Hi. I notice you expressed an opinion on the deletion debate, saying that the band was not notable. I had a look at the band, and they seem to satisfy the WP:MUSIC criteria, and I would really appreciate any explanation of why you considered them to be non-notable. I'm not trying to dispute any AFD results, but just trying to work out what it is that makes people think they are not notable. Any comments welcome. DJ Clayworth 16:55, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pages up for deletion

Revolution within the form and Cretan/Spartan connection is up for deletion. I ask for a vote to transwiki. Thanks. WHEELER 00:44, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi. See here, here, and here for discussion on the copyright status of the Turkey map images connected to your requested template. We need to validate the use of these on Turkish Wikipedia so that we can properly identify their copyright provenance for here. --CBDunkerson 12:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Auxentius of Bithynia

I don't think there's a hard and fast rule. Since the birth year is circa 400, I guess I could have used Category:400s births or even 5th century births depending on the vagueness of the information. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please help

Hi, it's nice to meet a fellow Californian here! I really need your help on the Adana page - User:TuzsuzDeliBekir has been several paragraphs, many of which you wrote. He says here that they're about Antioch (Antakya), not Adana. Please join in on the discussion, it would be much appreciated. Thanks. --Khoikhoi 06:55, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch, thank you also for all the hard work you do. :) If the user objects to the paragraphs again I'll let you know. --Khoikhoi 00:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re:Elaea

that makes more sense. its going to have to stay as a MEast-geo-stub tho rather than whatever country it might or might not be in (a shame - if it could be pinned down to yemen then we could use Yemen-geo-stub). BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 03:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

if thats the case then AfricaE-geo-stub (East Africa) would be a better one (that covers everywhere from Ethiopia to Tanzania). thanks. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 01:46, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jonathan Williams Page Deletion

Here you go, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jonathan_Williams_%28pastor%29_%282nd_nomination%29 you said delete last time hopefully this time we can make it stick.

[edit] Another question

According to this, the user says that Μερσίνη is not the historical name of Mersin. Do you any idea what is? --Khoikhoi 06:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. :) Good job on the Adana page BTW. --Khoikhoi 00:37, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pregunta

Are they always this puritanical when it comes to porn stars? I'm a conservative Republican and I see nothing wrong with these articles. YellowPigNowNow 22:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Country subdivisions

...IMO splitting the cats into a group of "Administatrive divisions of some countries" and "Political divisions of some other countries" is not useful.

could you maybe change your vote on Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_4#Category:Subdivisions_by_country_to_Category:Political_divisions_by_country

and let's discuss this on the project page

Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Subnational_entities/Naming#Umbrella_terms

first? It is really is mass rename, since it not only involves the cats and subcates but also lots of articles. As Lorenz pointed out the most important seems to be that we find clear definitions of what the terms mean. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 07:53, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subdivision category debate

The original debate for renameing the country subdivision categories was closed and a new debate on the subject has now been listed. The results of the old debate are shown, but will not be counted when the current debate is closed. You are being notified because you were involved in the previous debate. If you still have an interest in the outcome, please come and participate in the new debate. - TexasAndroid 20:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey Carlos,

Thanks for notifying me. I'll vote now. :) Cheers, —Khoikhoi 05:25, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Assyrian villages

Hi Carlos,

Ah no, I didn't write the list, one of the main contributors is User:Chaldean, I think he'd be able to help you out on that. All the best, —Khoikhoi 00:31, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Carlos, yes, the village names that I have written under the Turkey tertory were original names that come from all the way back to the Byzantine. Almost all of these villages in the Turkish section of that page are now inhebitated by Kurds or Turks and thus the name of those villages have been changed. I will add the modern name (Turkish name) of them as soon as I get a chance. If you need anything else, let me know.

oh and I think this new finding might interest you; a couple months ago they discoved art/wall scripts in the Asyrian-Iraqi town of Baghdida, that historian believe comes from the Byzantinian time, when Byzantine ruled that portion of the world. Chaldean 01:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

oh wow, I just looked and I guess you already did that :) Chaldean 03:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for writing

Yes my friend there is a lot of Kurdish cities that I haven´t had the time to add yet , belive me I will. Did you know that only 40% of the current population of Istanbul and 60% of Ankara or Izmir consist of people who were originally born in those cities, there are living more Kurds in Turkish areas than in Kurdish areas because of immigration, and becuase of this Kurdish majority exist in several Turkish cities.

Like you said, these are always being attacked by Turkish, Iranian and Arabic editors, couldn´t said it better myself. The thing is when I watched Wikipedia for a couple days agao I saw how Kurdish personalities, politicians, musicians and most of all Kurdish cities are showed as Turkish, Iranian and Arabs.

Wikipedia is for the truth not the opposite and the truth is what we are working for. Thank You --OtrO DiA OtrO DiA 12:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

The whole category of Former Catholics should be deleted because it is POV. What you said about church rules being POV is retarded. If the category is going to be about the Catholic church, how do you ignore the Catholic church? Use some sense. 75.3.4.54 03:04, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not Monroeville

Hi, Carlossuarez46! I see that you added Monroeville, Pennsylvania to the "cities named after presidents" category. I reverted your edit because Monreville was not named after James Monroe. Are there other cities that you added to this category erroneously? -- Mikeblas 01:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CfD proposals

• Category:Disappeared people
• Category:Possibly living people

Please revisit these proposals in case anything that has been added since your votes might prompt you to reconsider them. Thanks, David Kernow 09:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

...Thanks for revisiting these. Re "Possibly living people", my concern is not the nature or criterion for this category, but rather the ungainly construction of its name, not least for any non-native English speakers who might see it and think that "Possibly living people" is a construction that's commonly used. Best wishes, David 23:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the messages and the chance to clarify or change position ... both [titles] seem to allow for the possibility of a person being both dead and alive. Without being metaphysical here, people tend to be either dead or alive ... For example, Jimmy Hoffa is either dead or alive he's not "possibly living" and he's not "maybe alive".

...at which point I was thinking of Jimmy Hoffa inside a box cuddling this!

Perhaps the clunkier but more accurate view is something akin to Category:People who have disappeared and not returned. I think the have could also be moved following the "and" and sound more like USA-English.

I suppose I consider "People who disappeared" to be less ambiguous than "Disappeared people" as a shortened form of "Category:People who (have) disappeared and (have) not returned". Thanks for your thoughts (and entertaining imagery!)  David 17:45, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Til Barsip

Dear Carlossuarez46, I´m quite sure you misinterpreted the information since Apamea is the name of several Hellenistic cities. However, the Helsinki Atlas online clearly puts Til Barsib in Syria south of Gargamis/Carchemish: [2] (needs Whip Plugin software). Further, the excavation led by Guy Bunnens I refer to in the Til Barsip article took place at the Syrian site of Tell Ahmar: [3] Hope this helps. --JFK 19:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Comments

I like your comments on the AfD discussion of Names of European cities in different languages. I find myself in agreement with your main points. Thanks for sharing and giving me something to consider. Interlingua ^talk 22:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please review an deletion made contrary to consensus

Hi Carlos, I looked over the AfDs, and it appears as if they were closed by Mackensen, and it also appears as if you have sent a small message to that user already. I suggest you continue the dialog there. Was there anythe else you were hoping I can do? Cheers, Deathphoenix ʕ 18:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see, I was wondering why you contacted me. Well, I'm one of the admins willing to restore content for others to look at, but I don't usually go around unilaterally undeleting articles that have already been deleted through AfD. I suggest that you continue to talk to Mackensen, who may also provide you with rationale and perhaps a further line of action if you continue to disagree with the deletion. If you need additional assistance, I will be glad to provide it, but I won't undo Mackensen's actions in closing the AfD. I suggest you just continue your dialog and see what comes of it. --Deathphoenix ʕ 19:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion Review

As a single admin I'm not prepared to unilaterally overturn Mackensen's decision. However, I have placed the matter at Deletion Review where questioned deletions are subjected to checking. If you would like me to resurrect the last version of the articles before deletion in your user space, I can do that. David | Talk 19:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Carlos, thanks for your message. Please keep me posted. Pasquale 19:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dominick Dunne

At the moment I'm a bit confused as to what actually happend. I moved Dominick dunne to Dominick Dunne because of spelling, Normally there should not have been an article named Dominick Dunne before the move. When looking at the page histories I don't show up, yet the page move does show up on "my contributions". Mmm. But since it has been rectified, I guess we'll just put this down to a software glitch. Could you check the page again, to see if the current version is the one you want ? Travelbird 20:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I think I found out what happened. There are actually two pages now : one called Dominck Dunne and one called Dominick Dunne. Which one is the correct one ? Travelbird 20:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Big stoner

Wow, thanks for the quick speedy deletion notice on Big stoner. I guess I gave the author too much credit and tried to add {{prod}} (complete with Google search results link!). An edit conflict revealed that you had a much better idea. I should have realized that the article was complete bullocks quicker. Have a great day and happy editing! ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 21:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I know what you mean about fixing articles instead of just killing them. I tend to go and painstakingly wikify articles that I know I'm just going to {{prod}} or {{speedy}} anyway. It's a disease... And don't worry about stepping on my toes. It happens. =) ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 21:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Urban Legend

Yes, here's the citation that says the List of Banned Songs is an Urban Legend. See Snopes [6] Morton devonshire 20:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Two problems: (1) the list is frequently edited by the article's gatekeeper, LGagnon, to insist that a ban really did exist (and he can't be convinced otherwise); and (2) besides the Snopes article itself, there is nothing to verify that Clearchannel actually had such a list, so how can we know what was supposed to be on the list? The only references to the list in the media seem to be to the urban legend that Clear Channel actually banned the songs. The net result is that the article lends credence to the notion that Clear Channel actually banned these songs, and it didn't. The better result is to delete all mention of Clear Channel in the article, or just to delete the article entirely. Morton devonshire 23:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello. You recently participated in an AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taco Bell menu. The article was deleted but is up for deletion review here. I thought you may be interested in participating in that discussion. Ifnord 03:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pyramus River

What do you think if I move this page to Ceyhan River? It seems a bit weird saying that there was a river called the Pyramus. I think the article should be in the present tense, and to do that we should probably move it to the present name. However, then we also have articles like Lamos (Cilicia), Lycus (river of Bithynia), Lycus (river of Phrygia), etc. that don't mention the modern names at all, and therefore the reader has no idea whether or not they exist today, and where they lie Turkey. Anyways, just wanted to hear your thoughts on this.

One more thing, the Tarsus (city) article says, "is a city in Cilicia Prima". Shouldn't it mention Çukurova in the intro? Thanks in advance. —Khoikhoi 04:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean, that makes a lot of sense. BTW, I just noticed that we have two articles about the same city: Charax (Tigris) (created by you) and Charax Spasinu (created by John Hill). Which one do you think should be merged? —Khoikhoi 18:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! (to be honest, I will probably never look at those two pages again) ;-) —Khoikhoi 04:46, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comuni

Hi Carlos. How or whether to translate comune in Wikipedia articles is a question that keeps coming up in various places, without ever quite getting settled. Or rather a different decision is sort-of made each time. Leave it in the Italian, in which case it’s italicized and keeps its Italian plural form; use ‘municipality’; or use ‘commune’. They all have arguments in their favour. But your idea of treating ‘comune’ as an English word is new to me. It’s not in any English dictionary I have to hand—except for an ancient big OED which lists it as an obsolete word. ‘Commune’ however is defined in the Collins Concise as ‘the smallest administrative unit in Belgium, France, Italy and Swizerland’. ‘Municipality’ I personally dislike (perhaps it’s more commonly used in American English), but it is used on the ISTAT English pages, for instance. If I recall correctly my Italian-English dictionary says something like translate as ‘commune’ when referring to France, Belgium, etc., otherwise as ‘municipality’.

Anyway, it might be worth reviving the most recent discussion which was at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(settlements)#English_form_of_the_Italian_word_comune, and followed on directly from this one. It would certainly be useful to achieve a deeper consensus. —Ian Spackman 01:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Roman sites by country

I think you have misunderstood the proposal, which is that the surviving category should be called Category:Roman sites not that it should be called Category:Roman archaeological sites. Edton 03:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The C-word

Hi Carlos. Of the two options I prefer the Italian plural (comuni), and italicizing the word when it appears. That way readers won’t see it as a mis-spelling of the English word ‘communes’. (Of the four options I like ‘communes’ best and ‘municipalities’ least. At some point, probably when standardizing the cats for places in Italy, there will need to be a consensus, and I can’t second-guess what that will be.) Good luck with making the lists: they will be useful. Cheers —Ian Spackman 06:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

8.00 am here, in England. Are you across the Pond? I don’t really know what a county ward is, though I have come across the expression. (British local government structures are quite complex and ever-changing: and I don’t find them very interesting!) But ‘ward’, in this case, means an electoral district or constituency. I liked your idea of the orphan, though: it was entirely logical. —Ian Spackman 07:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Medieval Wonders

Carlos, I hope you don't misunderstand the AfD and take it personally. The purpose is not to try and change your vote. AfD's are not decided on numbers alone. They are decided by the closing admin based on the strength of the rationales presented. We are encouraged to engage in debate, that is how Wikipedia works, not by the tyranny of numbers. I have seen AfD's decided in favor of the minority number of votes because the minority had a stronger argument, and the objections to those arguments were weaker. It is a subjective decision by the Admins how to decide, they don't have to go with the majority of voters - how you vote is only part of the picture, so I'm not too concerned about your vote, rather the strength of your rationale - for example I think your last response that is purely rhetoric, instead of addressing facts and specific reasons why the article should be deleted, will lessen the strength of your position. So I am not "arguing" with you or trying to change your position, it's nothing personal. -- Stbalbach 14:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bisexual people

You are over-analyzing the phrase "delete and salt." Salt refers to WP:SALT, a way to keep a deleted page from being re-created. It has nothing to do with Sodom and Gomorrah. --N Shar 20:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you made a bit of a mistake there. However, would you like to join WikiProject LGBT studies? I think you would be interested. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

No, "delete and salt" and "kill with fire" are standard expressions used in AfDs. {User|Essjay}}, who is gay, regularly uses "kill with fire" when he votes. I do not believe there is homophobiain any of that AfD - even the nominator most recently created an article on someone who is gay. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• For evidence that delete and salt isn't anti-gay propaganda/hate speech, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of palindromic phrases in English, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deaths in Final Destination 3, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Denny Klein, and my own contribution to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nepassa. --N Shar 21:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It's nothing to do with being sensitive or not (but for the record, no I don't go around trying to be offended by everything a straight person says) - I have been involved with AfDs for over eight months, across several Wikimedia projects, and "kill with fire" is a standard expression used by many people, including homosexuals, and it is not a anti-gay expression, unless you think people are just being homophobic on every AfD they vote on. Which is silly. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Peruvian Jews

Carlossuarez46

You recently participated in an AfD on this article. Despite a majority for retention, it was deleted.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_February_20#List_of_Peruvian_Jews)

The trouble with this and similar articles (Latin American, Chilean, etc.) is that very few editors have enough expertise in Spanish or Portuguese to search for references in these languages to demonstrate that the people in these lists are Jewish, so that nearly all the names are unsourced. Would you have time, please, to participate in this.

[edit] Pisistratus

Hi Carlos, you might want to take a look at WP:GREEK. "Pisistratus" is the preferring spelling on enwiki. Personally, I'd rather spell it "Peisistratos", but that's not our standard. --Akhilleus (talk) 21:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Carlos, did you look at WP:GREEK? That guideline is intended to cover a wide range of articles, and based on that, it's almost certain that someone will want to move Peisistratos to Peisistratus or Pisistratus. ("Pisistratus" is what the Oxford Classical Dictionary uses.) I don't particularly care which spelling we use, but I noticed you were changing all the links, and when the article gets moved, someone will have to change them again...

I do think, however, that the Athenian tyrant is by far the most famous Peisistratos, and he should be the main article at that name--the disambig page can be at Peistratus (disambiguation). --Akhilleus (talk) 21:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Carlos, WP:GREEK actually specifies that names/nouns ending in -ος get transliterated as "-us"--see the section "Equivalence changes". --Akhilleus (talk) 22:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Carlos, the only reason I made these comments is because I see you're expending a considerable amount of time and effort fixing redirects, and it's quite likely Peisistratos (Athens) is going to be moved. I acknowledge the Google Scholar results, but you get a different picture with regular Google, and I've seen enough RM discussions that I think I know which set will win out. I'm not trying to argue with you; if I were king of Greek transliteration, Heraclitus would be at Herakleitos and Cypria would be at Kypria--just look at my username! But I think it's very likely that Peisistratos (Athens) is going to be moved, both because of the spelling issue and because he's the most prominent figure of that name. I'm just telling you all of this because fixing redirects is enough of a pain, but doing it twice is even worse... --Akhilleus (talk) 22:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quite a bold edit there!

Hello Carlos,

I have noticed how boldy you striked out a lot of useful material from the page Jihad_(disambiguation). Without reverting to an older version and rediscussing the changes you have suggested time-consumingly, can we just discuss how we can reintegrate some of my previous material with your sizzling changes? :o) (Please note that I am a Lebanese--so an Arab if you want as well--born and raised in a Christian-Muslim-Druze multi-confessional society, and what I wrote about the subject is to me as real as your experiences are to your life, see my point sir?) See you there! ;-) Hasta pronto... ----Jixavius ^@ 12:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BLP

i disagree with your interpretation of WP:BLP, it clearly refers to information that may be 'contentious', or disputed. do you really contend that listing people such as Malcom X and Martin Lings are converts? i will endeavour to source them, nonetheless. you have also overlooked one rather important thing: a lot of the people you removed are deceased and as such do not fall under WP:BLP. please could you restore them? thank you. ITAQALLAH 01:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

they may not comply with WP:V, but in those cases we fact tag and allow some time for it to be verified. immediate removal is not mandated, especially as they fall outside of WP:BLP. ITAQALLAH 01:48, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for the keep vote on Višnjica, you said some really nice things there :o) Greetings from Belgrade PajaBG 15:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

You are right. That's why I wrote in the debate that if you only recycle what you already know or read you will never learn anything new. And I don't try to make things better. If it is a poor, visually unattractive neighborhood, slum...I write that and I had problems with other Serbian members of Wikipedia who thought no bad things should be written. My plan is to add all the known neighborhoods of Belgrade as stubs and then I will add other data, certainly merge some of them, etc. But it takes time. And...leave the Star Trek alone! :o))))) I am not a Trekkie who wears Starfleet uniforms or has no life outside of it, but I am the fan of the show :o) Take care PajaBG 09:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Ancient mints

I was thinking of deleting this category, and creating a List of ancient mints. There are several reasons. One of the big ones is that the articles about the cities don't mention much if anything about them being mints. The articles have all been tagged as belonging to the Numismatics WikiProject, but I don't think they really belong. I saw that you had created the category last year, and thought I'd check if that would bother you. If you have an opinion, please share it at WT:NUMIS#Things that should not be in project. Ingrid 00:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. I didn't realize it had historical importance. Would you object to renaming the category so it's clear that the articles aren't about the mints? Something like Category:Sites of ancient mints or Category:Cities with ancient mints? Or something else? Ingrid 21:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't actually know anything about it. My interest is in modern coins, and I'm an organizer at heart. I was having enough trouble thinking of a good name when I thought cities or sites would work. I guess it's fine the way it is (I've taken the category out of the numismatics project, and put a note on its talk page). Anyway, thanks for taking the time to give me a little more perspective.
