Hello Kenwilliams please have a look on your german page!

Kenwilliams, thank you for your comments on the Talk:Aulus_Aemilius_Pudens discussion page. I originally split the Puden's article into two, recognizing that there were two Pudens (father and son). I have been engaged in a debate with Wetman and others who do not accept the association of the Biblical Pudens with the husband of Claudia (the Briton), owner of the Santa Pudenziana.

Though the Pudens family is not my strong suit, I have tried to sort out the relationships, and early references to them. I have continually been brought back to your German article, and though I don't speak German have a basic gyst as to what it says. I concede that the German article is perhaps more authoritative than my efforts to develop an English equivalent. I have found that that article pretty much conveys why scholars beleive that Martial's Pudens was the son who served in Britain. Therefore could you assist me with the following articles en:Rufus Pudens Pudentianna, en:Aulus Aemilius Pudens and en:Claudia Rufina. My understanding is that Aulus Aemilius was the father, Rufus the son, and Claudia the wife of the son. WikiRat 11:05, 4 November 2005 (EST)

I wrote my Comment there some minutes ago. There are DEFINETLY two different Persons. I spend hours, days to find Informations (but it's OK, Ive learnd to do that ;)). Aquila Pudens was the Father an more important one. Maybe - MAYBE!!!!! - he was the Pudens of Martial. But they found an Epigraph about him - and there were written: "[...]lus Pudens" - it's an other Name. So he's known as "Aulus Pudens" (but actually the Scientists believe, that this was not correct completet. Then there are the Officer. He served under emperor Claudius in Britain. And he should have been one of teh first Christians there (like the others of his family he should be converted). And than there are the Legend about the Princess... - at the End there are definetly 3 rememberable Persons, all with the Name Pudens. Maybe more, because in my eyes also the two later Senators und the Proconsul are in a way important. Kenwilliams 17:05, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wolfgang Tiefensee

Hi Kenwilliams! Ich wollte dir nur eben sagen, dass Tiefensees Ministerium - zumindest laut [1] - nicht den Aufbau Ost im Namen trägt. Gruß --Stefan ■ 22:15, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Nuja - vieleicht nicht im offiziellen Namensbestandteil, aber es wird immer wieder ausdrücklich erwähnt, daß es dazugehören soll. Zumal die Bereiche in der Übersetzung eh verlieren. Wollte es so vollständig wie möglich haben, ist ja vieleicht auch für Briten oder Amerikaner interessant, daß es sowas überhaupt noch geben "muß". Vieleicht kann man es ja in Klammern dahintersetzen.

[edit] Category:Entertainers who died in their 80s

I nominated this category for deletion. However, the good citizens of Wikipedia chose to keep it. Regards Arniep 13:11, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I've realized that. I was too late... Kenwilliams 18:23, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ancient prostitution

On the Talk page for prostitution, you posted:

That a fault. Herodotus is for such things not trustworthy. I would write it new by myself, but my english is much to bad. Actually it's definetly not OK. It's pure Horror for every serious historian.

First - I suggest, then, requesting a translation of de:Prostitution in der Antike (I suggest creating the page for the translated article under the name "Ancient prostitution" or "Prostitution in ancient times"), and then linking to it from the prostitution page.

Second - I hope you don't mind if I correct your English here a little? (I'm learning Spanish right now, and I find it more helpful than insulting when people correct me, and "helpful" is the way I mean it):

• That a fault. That should be That's or That is. "Fault" is also, while maybe not 100% incorrect in actual usage, here, a bit awkward. Usually one would say That's a mistake.

• I would write it new by myself, normally a person would just say I would rewrite it myself, .

• English should be capitilized, as it's a proper noun being used to refer to a language.

• It's actually supposed to be too bad, not to bad. This is a very common mistake even among native speakers. :) It may be helpful to remember it as having more "o"s than it needs, just as if there are too many of something, that means there are more than are needed or more than are desired of that thing. ;)

• It's spelled definitely. This is a word that is also frequently misspelled even by native speakers, probably because the spelling seems a little odd, visually. :) It's just definite with ly attached, though.

I hope this was helpful! :) Runa27 06:29, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment on my candidacy

I replied in my talk page with this, I again apologize, my german is worse than your english! aAnd I am a native Spanish speaker...:

Ich stimme zu... einer meiner punkte ist genau die anhaltende unterstutzung und die expansion das nicht-englischen wikis... Ich schlug ein "Wikibabel" für das Füllen des Abstandes zwischen Sprachen und Kulturen vor. Damit kannst du sehen, dass ich zustimme. Ich entschuldige mich, da mein deutschsprache schlechter als deine englischesprache ist. :D--Cerejota 02:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] benutzername

Mensch Marcus, du solltest entweder deinen Account umbenennen lassen oder wenigstens den Benutzernamen reservieren so lange er noch frei ist ;-) Gruß --BLueFiSH ✉ 06:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Na habsch doch schon - der Account ist Kenwilliams, mit einer weiterleitung auf meinen richtigen Namen ;). Also beide gesichert ;) Kenwilliams 01:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Marcus, you're all set with your new username on en.wiki. See WP:CHU if you'd like more background. Have fun - Taxman ^Talk 16:29, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sex Tourism

Marcus, good work on the prostitution page. You have a lot of good information to contribute. Would you please take a look at the Sex Tourism page. We are at the end of a dispute and there is still a flag on the links. Would you remove the flag if you find the links acceptable.

Oh, sorry, I read this here today the first time. But I also now much about this theme. I know more about the historical things, mostly in the ancient world. For actual Problems I'm not informed enough. And an other Problem: my English isn't good enough for real Article work. But I will take a look. Marcus Cyron 18:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP Munich

Kingjeff 17:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Ich antworte mal auf Deutsch, da es mir leichter fällt und du dich auf deiner Benutzerseite als Deutscher outest ;) - Nein, ich kann es mir nicht vorstellen, um kien Geld der Welt - sicher nicht bei einem Projekt Beyern - oder gar bei irgendwas mit Bayern München. *g* Ich bin Brandenburger und Hansa- und BVB-Fan. Ich bin nur zurch Zufall auf der Seite mit der Zweiten Mannschaft der Bayern gelandet, ich war erstaunt, daß es hier in der en:WP einen Artikel zu Emanuel Bentil gibt. Zudem ist mein Englisch für echte Artikelarbeit zu schlecht. Marcus Cyron 18:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles

Is there no way to get the historic pederastic article deleted? It is filled with false information not based on historical fact but slander of previous centuries.--Margrave1206 05:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't know. I'm not really active on th en:WP, I can't say, what's here possible, what's not. In my home-WP (de:WP) such a list would never be possible. But it seems, here it's not possible to work on an higher level. Al Bullshit (sorry) is taken as "information" - as idiotic it will be. Marcus Cyron 12:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neaira (hetaera)

Thanks for your message. Ja, bitte hilf mir dieser Artikel verbessern. I know there are many mistakes.

Deatonjr 03:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, for translations I'm not the best, my english isn't really good enough. But I will see, what I can do. Marcus Cyron 11:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Marcus. I saw your question on the article's talk page, and thought that this would be the best place to answer. A "B article" is an article assessed as being at a B-level of development, or below "Good Article" level. The German Wikipedia equivalent would probably be Kandidaten für lesenswerte Artikel -- those I've looked at appear similar in length and level of detail and referencing to the B-level articles I've seen. Apollo 13, for instance. On the English Wikipedia too, most Good Article candidates are B-level. Well, Ich hoffe diese Informationen Hilfen Sie. Für deine übersetzung Arbeit danke -- sie ist sehr wertvoll.  :-) --Fsotrain⁰⁹ 13:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the informations :). But I#m not the translater, I'm only the original author at de:WP. Normylly I'm much more modest, but this is one of only 2 artcile I'm really proud of. I don't know how good the translation will be, but normally it's worth to be an A-Level-Article (but at the end it's not so important for me how it is here, my home is de:WP). If it will be an B-Level-Article it would be fine. I will make a check after the translation is ready, to lool for mistakes. But my english (I think you already have noticed ;)) is not the best. I will see, what I can do for the article. Marcus Cyron 01:30, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
