[edit] Mission Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles

Why on earth did you revert me? That last edit by by User:Lordkinbote not only was misinformed, but was against the consensus being worked on in the talk page and is tactually wrong. ---evrik ^(talk) 20:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• First of all, I posted that the article be renamed, and discussion was not done yet so any major changes were premature. I have also posted my sources and the logic behind what I'm trying to do. There were only 21 missions, and Mission Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles was not one of them. --evrik ^(talk) 20:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Which of the three commentaries are you referring to:

• Template talk:Alta California Missions
• Talk:Mission Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles
• Talk:Spanish_missions_in_California#Not_all_the_items_listed_were_missions

I don't have a problem listing the other churches in the article, just not a missions. If it wasn't a mission, it shouldn't be called mission. --evrik ^(talk) 20:22, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• What am I not getting? Mission Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles should be named La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles. There should be no article named Mission Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles. --evrik ^(talk) 20:28, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• What about Mission San Antonio de Pala? It was an assistencia.--evrik ^(talk) 20:36, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Missions and assistencias were substantively different things. While a mission might have been a church, not all churches were missions.--evrik ^(talk) 20:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• Specious? Hardly. Show me some cites that say asitencias were considered mission? Please elucidate me.--evrik ^(talk) 20:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, specious. Take a look at Spanish missions article for one. This web site [1] not only defines the term, but clearly states that Mission los Angeles was an asistencia. Mdhennessey 20:58, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• You just proved my point. Asistencias were not considered missions. and the article refers to La Placita as Old Plaza Church in Los Angeles and not as a mission. --evrik ^(talk) 21:04, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
• This change to the article Spanish missions in California is another example of the changes I see should be made. --evrik ^(talk) 22:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop

• Please stop this edit war and discussion it out on the talk page. --evrik ^(talk) 21:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Warring

Would you two please stop your edit warring. --evrik ^(talk) 21:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't like getting tage teamed. Do you think I want to waste time fighting over this? --evrik ^(talk)

Multiple editors taking up views in opposition to yours is not "tag teaming." You are the one perpetuating this issue at this point.--Lord Kinbote 19:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

FYI on the above.--Lord Kinbote 19:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hull numbers

Hi Mdhennessey!

I noticed that you edited ony of "my" (:-)) articles (and several others) adding ship "hull numbers". Frankly I don't care much, but Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships)#Referring to ships policy/style is

"Do not give the hull number or other disambiguation information unless it is immediately relevant. Someone who needs to know can follow the link".

so I'm going to revert USS Barrow (APA-61). If you want to change it back, that's fine.

Also, when you do want to use the hull number [[USS Rochambeau (AP-63)]] looks just like [[USS Rochambeau (AP-63)|USS Rochambeau (AP-63)]] and it's a lot less typing. You can get different effects depending on how the pipe (|) symbol is used. So:

[[USS Rochambeau (AP-63)]] (no pipe) shows up as USS Rochambeau (AP-63)

[[USS Rochambeau (AP-63)|]] (nekkid pipe) shows up as USS Rochambeau

[[USS Rochambeau (AP-63)|Rochambeau]] (something after the pipe) shows up as Rochambeau

but they all point to the stuff before the pipe.

Cool, no? --Saintrain 01:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
