Dear In ictu oculi,
There is again vandalism and bullying going on at the page Saint Thomas Christians. Editors are coming together with an agenda against Syriac traditions of the Malabar Nasrani people and questioning even the most mundane facts. This has gone to absurd extent of stating that the term for the Syriac community 'Mar Thoma Nasrani' may be a derivative of english term 'Saint Thomas Christian'. Besides being absurd and revealing their agenda, most references clearly and logically explains how 'Saint Thomas Christian' is a derivative or translation of the syriac term 'Mar Thoma (Saint Thomas) Nasrani'. Nasrani is an ancient Hebrew Syriac-Aramaic term coined much before Modern English evolved through the works of Chaucer and others. I have left other comments regarding this bullying on the talk page of the article Saint Thomas Christians. But there is nothing I can do when administrators abuse their power with an agenda. Please look into it. The article was renamed as 'Saint Thomas Christians' instead of 'Mar Thoma Nasrani' and now they state that the Syriac term could be a derivative of the english term. It is like saying the term 'Deutschland' is a derivative of 'Germany'. One does not need references to know this is nothing but BULLYING. This kind of bullying was anticipated when the agenda was clearly set for the renaming and merging of the page Syrian Malabar Nasrani. The editors are bullying others apparently working in concert though there is no way to ascertain it, though one may clearly feel so by the nature of their work in tandem. Your help is requested to stop this bullying. thanks Robin klein ( talk) 14:44, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Proceeds in excellent fashion, I don't intend to fiddle around the edges while you are working on it. But just a small request - in the case of a sentence like e.g. "In effect they were retaining much of the form of trinitarian worship, while re-interpreting it in anti-trinitarian terms." - is that Palaeologus' view or is that George Huntston Williams' view? Important distinction with WP:PSTS. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
I think the reference is actually to comment on Socinianism from MacCulloch or Cameron, I will try to track it down and cite it. Any other such sentances that need citations, please alert me. Otherwise, I think it has gone as far as I can take it; futher improvement might be more a matter of subtraction rather than addtion, and others may be better at doing it.

I note your objection to the correct comparison of communion to a simulated cannibalism ritual, however, it is a quite accurate description of the custom. Some like to talk around this obvious point with meaningless semantical 'distinctions', such as this claim from the catholic.com web forum: "The Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ are contained truly, really, and substantially in the Eucharist. They are not present materially..." However, the basic fact is that the ritual is symbolic of cannibalism, and the scriptures are quite clear about the ritual being an allegory for cannibalism. John 6:48-66; Mark 14:22-24; Matthew 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20. In the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, the bread and wine are interpreted as literally becoming Jesus' flesh and blood.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Joseph Michel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Aunty-S ( talk) 14:16, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I note the likelihood that your inclusion of the 'cannibalism' thing at the section at the execution article is an oblique way of 'alerting' readers coming from WP:Christianity to an unrelated topic in order to elicit offense. If this is your intention, it is extremely inappropriate. If it is not your intention, there is no need to refer back to the history for the 'benefit' of those readers.

A number of scholars disagree with the Wednesday Crucifixion theory, but nonetheless find it pervasive and compelling enough to address and refute. The Mystery of the Last Supper: Reconstructing the Final Days of Jesus, written by Prof. Colin J. Humphreys of Cambridge University and the Royal Institution in London, recounts and refutes the arguments for Wednesday Crucifixion. Jimmy Aiken of the National Catholic Register also takes time to refute the Wednesday Crucifixion theory here, noting that "some Protestant churches, especially Fundamentalist ones" subscribe to the theory. Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ by H. W. Hoehner also discusses this at length. Other sources from books which advance the theory include Wednesday Crucifixion by Rev. George L. Miller and this older doctoral dissertation by Jeremiah Knigh Aldrich, altough neither of these two authors are professors. Taken together, the Wednesday Crucifixion position is certainly a minority one but I included it because of its pervasiveness in the scholarly discussion of crucifixion dates.-- YHoshua ( talk) 05:41, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Nice article you've started. A couple of comments:
1) The Roman day began at midnight long before the Julian reform. See Censorinus XII and particularly note 109. Censorinus also gives information about the introduction of sundials to Rome in the same chapter.
2) Some of your quotes are truncated at some arbitrary point -- see notes 4, 5, 9.

Their creed:
I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, Creator of Heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible. And in his Spiritual Son, Jesus Christ, Whom was born of Mary and Joseph, Was not consubstantial nor co-eternal with God the Father almighty, Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day His Spirit was resurrected. He ascended into Heaven, And sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty. Whence he shall come again to judge the living and the dead, Of whose Kingdom there shall be no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, The Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, The communion of saints, The forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the Spirit, And life everlasting. Amen.
Does that sound anything at all like Arianism? LOL. It sounds like a mix of Origenism, Adoptionism, Ebionitism, Watchtower doctrine, and the Jesus Seminar, leaning towards Deism. He says at the end, "I believe in the forgiveness of sins" - well, according to the rest of the creed, how is that to be accomplished? Moral Therapeutic Deism? Animal sacrifice? What is the point of Christianity if not that Jesus died for sins? (Paul says as much, that if he didn't die and be resurrected in the body, that the faith is a fool's belief and a waste of time, but they don't hold that high of an opinion of the good Apostle.) In that creed, he's just some crucified dude (yea, aren't we all spiritual sons of God by adoption?). Arius is rolling over in his grave (and yelling "wake up!" at Pelagius, while grabbing Charles Taze Russell in one hand and Paul Tillich in the other, with Origen telling them all to pipe down)!

In [2] and identical edits to 6 other talk pages, you refer to a guideline saying "the subject's full name should be given in the lead paragraph, if known." But you never say what you think should be changed in the 7 articles. Is your concern that a common English form of the name is given first and in bold? "full name" in WP:Manual_of_Style/Biographies#First_mention means to include often omitted parts of the name like a middle name. "full name" does not mean the name in the native language of the subject. For that, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section#Foreign language. The name of the native language should not be italicised but apart from that the leads look OK to me. PrimeHunter ( talk) 23:22, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
The Ebionites article has already been accepted for further review by the Arbitration Committee, although the beginning of the case was stalled in an attempt to try mediation. I regret to say that, given the complications from a serious head-injury a few years back and the generally slight chance of recurring seizures as a result of same, at this point it is not necessarily in my own interests to spend much concentrated time on subjects which cause significant emotional responses and accompanying elevated neuromuscular tension to me. I have elsewhere indicated my disgust with certain other regular editors regarding that content, and, unfortnately, at this time, view it as probably being the only discussion here which might be counterproductive to my own health. I was wondering what you might think of, perhaps, assisting me in reviewing the previous discussions, some of which you yourself seem to have been involved in previous discussion, and was wondering what you might think of perhaps assisting in the evidence-collection and preparation stage.

Hi - You recently participated in a move proposal discussion regarding articles about zombies and zombie pop culture archived at Talk:Zombie. That proposal was not approved, and a new discussion is taking place at Talk:Zombie (fictional) that is narrower in scope, and concerns only whether the older Voodoo and newer Romero zombie pop culture should be included in the same article or whether it should be separated.

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Bible translations into Manx, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Translations of the Bible into Celtic Languages. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot ( talk) 03:06, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

We now have a proposed MOS for religious content at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Manual of style. I have recently added some material which I basically copied from the extant Judaism and NRM manuals, but think that one of the big problems this MOS might have to face that others might not is how to deal with content, like John the Baptist and some other Biblical figures, which is important to multiple religions, although not necessarily for the same reasons or in the same way. John the Baptist, for instance, is considered the Messiah by the Mandaeans, who see Jesus in a negative light. If you would have any opinions on how to structure guidelines dealing with such content, I think we would all welcome it. John Carter ( talk) 23:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello In ictu oculi. There was no need to thank me at all, I just expressed what I considered appropriate at that point. I may have been a bit hard on causa sui, but he was hard on you as well, and I didn´t appreaciate after all his recomendation of you dropping the issue after all the efort you have done, and all of that because of no valid reason for you to drop it. He should either expressed a valid rationale that could be usefull for the discussion, or otherwise simply recomending someone to give up just because he prefers it that way is kind of a non-valid argument.
The throuth is that I appreciated your effort in getting this discussion finished once and for all, and your effort in trying to archive some consensus and guideline for everyone over this issue. Avoiding it, or dropping it as causa sui suggested, will inevitably just further delay the solving of this problem and create further unecesary discussions over this in future. I already participated in a number of this same discussions over the last couple of years, and it was painfull to see each time us going nowhere after great ammount of effort and time that has been dedicated in those discussions by numerous editors. So, at least this time I hoped some result would be archived at the end. Anyway, thank you for your kind words. Best regards, FkpCascais ( talk) 00:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Since you asked, a number of your questions are answered in the Messianic Judaism history section. Specficially: Note 10 (Ariel) says the term 'resurfaced' in Israel in the 1940s and 1950s, leading the casual reader to assume it had existed prior to then. Note 52(also Ariel) explains that in the 1890s "immigrant Jews who had accepted the Christian faith yet contained to retain Jewish rites and customs ... (promoted) the idea that Jewish converts should not abandon their cultural and religious heritage." Note 58 (Cohen-Sherbok)says Rabinowitz was writing blended orders of service in 1865. With note 54, Rausch explains the the Messianic Jewish movement and the Hebrew Christian movement were both operating in 1915. The sources seem to indicate the Messianic movement grew quietly in the US after the 20s, seeking respectability, and continued to operate in other countries (including Russia and Israel); the Hebrew Christian viewpoints took precedence until the 1960s, when Jesus Movement and Jews for Jesus saw a growth of young people not content to sit in HC congregations, and in Note 57, Hocken explains these youth changed the purposes and the name of the HC congregations and started using the name Messianic Judaism.-- DeknMike ( talk) 04:19, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

As you will be aware I have just placed this onto the the talk page of [[WP:AT]
I was going to follow it up with a second paragraph, but that second paragraph is really an editor to editor message so I have decided to post it here instead:
That you want to create a short cut to overemphasise one criteria that you think will help you advance you point of view is a bad idea. There comes a point where passionate argument for a point of view becomes disruptive and I think that if you create this redirect without a clear consensus to do so, when other editors have expressed their opposition, you will have crossed the Rubicon into disruptive behaviour. My opinion of course is just that, but I suspect that others will agree with me. I dislike user RfCs because they are very time consuming and so I have never initiated one, but if you create this link when other have expressed clear objections I may. You have to ask yourself would two other editors second it? -- PBS ( talk) 08:45, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
You've claimed that there is a "2 vs 1 situation" 'against' AuthorityTam. In fact, several editors (including pro-JW editors) indicated at the previous ANI that AuthorityTam's behaviour—particularly his frequent digs at BlackCab— are inappropriate. The main problem is regarding AuthorityTam's persistent irrelevant comments about other editors, and it's entirely unclear how requesting that he cease that behaviour would be at all detrimental to his making useful edits to JW articles.-- Jeffro77 ( talk) 08:46, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
I have recently nominated Joses up for merger. A few other editors have objected. It is interesting to check the communications between some, by the way. Anyway, considering that article is more or less in your specialty field, if you could produce evidence that it is notable, or have an opinion on the merger, either would be more than welcome.
And, by the way, I have finished the article list for "Israelite religion" (the Hebrew Bible, basically). It can be found at User:John Carter/Religion articles#Israelite religion. I'm going to try to finish the rest of the lists, and then look for and assess all the related articles. John Carter ( talk) 00:12, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, you may be blocked from editing.
From your recent edit history it is impossible for you to be unaware that these moves would controversial and as you have participated in WP:RM discussions that you are aware of that process.
I have reverted the moves and put them up for a WP:RM. If you make such moves in future then use the WP:RM. If you come across any other editor making moves of articles with accent marks to without--or visa versa--without without discussing it on the talk page first, preferably with a WP:RM request, let me know and I will take the necessary administrative action to rectify the moves.
From you user history recent controversial moves:
-- PBS ( talk) 08:28, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Not to mention it is completely standard to make these sorts of moves without a request for move. It only goes to request for move if someone objects. The fact that you (PBS) forced all the moves to RfM is far more disruptive than their initial move especially when its fairly clear it will end up being moved anyways. Essentially you just wasted a lot of peoples time. - DJSasso ( talk) 18:44, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi In ictu oculi, I just wanted to tell you that I was planning in some near future to open a debate about the fact that all languages using Gaj's Latin alphabet letter Đ should have their letter transliterated in English into Dj. To back this proposal, which will affect 4 languages and numerous articles, I was counting on WP:COMMONNAME and the fact that most (if not all) English language sources use the letter Dj instead. Novak Djokovic is already an exemple of it. However, that proposal should be announced in all related projects and a consensus about it should be reached. As I haven´t had the necessary time for it, for time being I was delaying it, but I just thought that it would be nice to let you know about it, and to hear your thoughts perhaps.

Fyunck, hello. Yes I know, you have put them back. I just changed only 3 of the 15 following the Gérard Solvès move to agree with the consensus, and you restored them immediately against the consensus as if the consensus and move hadn't happened. Doesn't WP:OPENPARA or that fact that a dozen editors, even those who agree with you on use of sports sources such as Kauffner, have asked you to please not to add this line in bother you at all? My only "crusade" was to weigh in with the majority against your WP:TENNISNAMES bullying of other tennis editors, otherwise I simply getting on with life editing articles in accordance with what everyone else on en.wp does and what the guidelines, and erring on the side of leaving articles with badly sourced sports websites where necessary. However the English-sports-sources problems shouldn't affect scholars, scientists, composers and politicians. You need to get on with life and find something more useful to do than putting these silly WP:TENNISNAMES arguments into BLP ledes. In ictu oculi ( talk) 06:57, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
I too, have a growing concern with these unilatteral page moves to diarticial titles - which haven't ceased. These moves come across as quite arrogant in nature & don't make for a good atmosphere around the topic. GoodDay ( talk) 17:22, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
It would be a first for me that anyone has objected to a French non-sportsperson being given a French name given that François Mitterrand is actually used as an example in WP:OPENPARA. Since GoodDay cannot make/revert on diacritics I have no objection to bundling Hegesippe Legitimus and a few other guadeloupean/martiniquais bios through RM, if it helps reassure GoodDay that French names are uncontroversial on en.wp.

In answer to your query, the only information I could find on this ace's death was that he died in a clinic in Pozzi. By the wording, the death would seem to be of natural causes, since Over the Front makes a note of deaths in action.

Anything on him? The Germans had a page de:John Hunt (Theologe) on him first, explained presumably by his sympathy with the Old Catholics. The introduction to his Essay on Pantheism [6] explains a bit what he thought he was up to. Biographically he pretty well sunk without trace in English, though. His History of Religious Thought gets cited here. It looks like a tough industrial parish in Sunderland drove him into books.

Sorry for the trouble! When I modified the article's title I was not aware that there was a RM and discussion going on. I rarely take part to such discussion, which are usually of little interest or use. The fact is that whatever the decision, the correct name of the man is Édouard Hambye (without the 'René'). Father Hambye himself, whom I have known personnally, would have been surprised by such discussion and decision... Only in India and when publishing in the anglo-saxon world did he use the form 'Edouard R. Hambye' or 'Edward R. Hambye'. While in Belgium or in Rome, it was always 'Édouard Hambye'. There are enough Jesuit documents to prove this... A title such as 'Edouard René Hambye' looks really odd. Zerged ( talk) 22:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

"is a small minority view which does not reflect the reality of where en.wikipedia articles are ..." The vast majority of articles which are discussed at WP:RM are discussed in terms of reliable sources. Take for example the current discussion at Talk:Côte d'Ivoire. There although a minority of editors are stating that Wikipedia should follow official usage, the majority are debating usage in reliable English language sources. The major debate is over how accurate OCR counts of Côte d'Ivoire is and how that skews the debate, rather than questioning the methodology of using English language sources to decide the issue.
Having claimed that the CMOS supported your position -- which I took at face value (not having examined that MOS -- I noticed with interest that you made no comment on the last interesting answer that the editor of the CMOS gave to the question:
Hello from Poland! While I have never actually seen CMOS (there is no copy in the US Consulate Library in Poznan where I live), I have seen it mentioned as an authority everywhere. I am now working on a project that requires automated identification of persons and would be grateful to know if CMOS addresses the question of translating given names. When and where are they translated and when do they remain in the original language? Are there any rules in English for this? Of course, one knows the most obvious cases such as Karl Marx and Charles the Bald, but many other cases are not so obvious. For instance, Russian princes are usually named Yuri rather than George. I shall be most grateful for any tips/suggestions.
Hello from Chicago! In the books that we publish, we depend on our authors to understand their audience and to style names accordingly. If the book is for a general audience, then names will probably appear in a form familiar to English-speaking readers. If the subject of the book is more narrowly defined and will be read by specialist scholars, the author might prefer to use the original-language names. Sometimes an author writing for a general audience will wish to educate readers by using the original names, but will introduce them by popular name. Merriam-Webster’s Biographical Dictionary is a good source for variations on names. [7]
It shows that the CMOS does not consider there to be a "correct spelling". We do not follow their formula, but use one that saves us the need to make such editorial decisions ourselves, because if we follow the lead taken in English language reliable sources, then we automatically pick up the nuances of whether the subject of a biography is usually referred to using what the CMOS FAQ editor describes as "general audience, then names will probably appear in a form familiar to English-speaking readers", while a subject that has a predominance of scholarly articles about him or her may well use a different style of address. Using reliable English language sources to decide this issue removes the need to make Editorial judgements about such names particularly as editorial personal preferences tend to be a matter of aesthetics and not something that can automatically be agreed upon, while editors editing in good faith can often agree on frequency of usage in reliable English language sources.

In case you're not watching the page (although probably you are), I left a response at Talk:Pear Tomato to a remark by you. — BarrelProof ( talk) 15:22, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello In ictu oculi -
First, I'd like to say that I don't consider myself a fanatic in the intractable WP diacritics debate. I have both added and removed diacritics on occasion, depending on the situation. So, with that as a preface:
A few days ago, you reverted a few instances where I had added a common rendering of a name to an intro, citing WP:FULLNAME and WP:OPENPARA. I'm not sure how those apply to that issue, so if you could explain, that would be great.
Also, I'd like to hear from you why you think removing a single early instance of a rendering that is seen in the vast majority of English-language sources improves the encyclopedia. Someone who has only ever seen the rendering "Walesa" (for example) may be slightly disoriented or uncertain when they see "Wałęsa". Adding "Walesa" to the first sentence immediately reinforces that the reader is at the correct article, and the rest of the article can then go on to use whichever rendering has been chosen. Isn't that a benefit to the reader? No information has been lost, and some helpful information has been added. What do you think? Dohn joe ( talk) 19:16, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
A side note on liberation: In case you had not noticed, the great siphon-off has now started. So whatever has value in Wikipedia will be used elsewhere. Now they have just siphoned off the nodes, in time they will grab whatever is worth grabbing. And the boys in Redmond will do the same sooner or later. My prediction: a few people will build Wolfram alpha type versions of Wikipedia and what there is in Wikipedia now will be just the lowest level of the food chain. That is certain to happen now, given the force of the universe principle. History2007 ( talk) 00:19, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I hope it's OK that I'm going to be pretty blunt here. Can you please explain how you came across
Bui doi and made
this edit? It looks like you are following Kauffner's contributions and, if you are, I strongly advise you to stop. Following the contribs of an editor that you are so regularly in disagreement with and then reverting their edits could easily be seen as
hounding. Of course, if you do have a reasonable explanation, I unreservedly apologise for jumping to conclusions. Also, and this is not really a problem, in your edit summary you said "not the correct location", but the redirect is actually the correct place to put a {{db-move}}
tag.
Jenks24 (
talk) 09:48, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
{{db-move}}
should not be used to do so. However, moves involving capitalisation are often, but not always, uncontroversial, which means it's OK to {{db-move}}
. Seeing as the article does not have prior title discussions on the talk page and uses lower case throughout, why do you think a move to the lower case would be controversial?
Jenks24 (
talk) 13:59, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
{{db-move}}
– I agree it should not be used for diacritics, but it is perfectly OK to use for capitalisation. To be clear: there is no black-and-white rule, each case must be judged on its merits. Do you actually think the the article should remain the capitalised title, or did you remove the tag because of a misinterpretation of what Malik had said?
Jenks24 (
talk) 10:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
I think there is a larger problem here; I have also been watching Kauffner's edits, mainly as a result of several RMs he has put forth that are contentious. Kauffner is well aware that removing diacritics is disputed, yet over the past month or so he has moved dozens if not hundreds of articles without any discussion, and then has gone back and re-categorized the redirects, which prevents anyone from reverting the move. The result is, a consensus title (e.g a title that had been stable with diacritics) is now changed, and it can't be changed back without going through a RM. I feel that this is (a) not in line with the VN style guide, which suggests use of diacritics is fine if sources follow and (b) somewhat sneaky. I would suggest that some other action should be taken to ask Kauffner to cease these actions, and open up a larger RfC on VN diacritics. In any case, the unilateral page moves should stop. -- KarlB ( talk) 18:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

You will want to look at the close I left there. I appreciate your efforts to shed light on the subject at my Talk page, and I saw evidence you'd "stepped away form the revert wars", so my note here should not be construed as a warning. The short form of my close is that existing policy isn't specific enough for me to say dediacriticed forms are or aren't significant alternate forms. A local consensus about that question would based on less than half a dozen comments would have not gotten us any real resolution. So....
What I would suggest is getting that nailed down with an RfC at WT:AT. It sucks, I wish this could be handled in a lighter-weight way, but I unfortunately I'm left with the belief that that's the only way a result is going to stick. In the meantime, the behavior of edit warring has to stop, and I hope that I've now made it clearer that further reversions on this subject won't be looked at kindly until this is resolved.

Hi--
Back in June you asked a question on my talkpage about a few Categories you were interested in, and I replied that I didn't know anything at all about Categories - which is still true. Now I want to ask you about an apparently obsolete and useless Category page, which I just happened to notice below where I had been posting at Talk:Deconstruction#About the French wikipedia article for "Deconstruction", called "Category:Articles linked from high traffic sites". I didn't know what this meant; the article on Deconstruction is certainly not "high traffic". Looking at the Category page I seem not to find a complete history - just two quite old entries, one from a bot. And on the talkpage, clicking the link See visitor traffic goes to a dead end. Would this entire Category be a candidate for deletion? Milkunderwood ( talk) 01:58, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Why do I get the feeling User:Leaky caldron has some sort of vested interest in keeping the article at that title? There are certainly very strong arguments for having the article at Inter Milan, but there are equally strong (if not stronger) arguments for having it at F.C. Internazionale Milano. I'm trying to leave a reasonable gap before reopening a move request, but once enough time has elapsed, I'm going to make sure that the RM is adequately advertised, unlike the others. Oftentimes, it is sufficient to advertise in the table at WP:FOOTY, but at other times, we have to post on specific people's talk pages; this is one of those times. – Pee Jay 00:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your support of retaining Vietnamese diacritics. I'm also one of the very strong supporters for that. Just to remind you that when after you create an article with name in diacritics, please don't forget to make a redirect from the title without diacritics.

Greetings. I see you have changed several occurrences of Iñigo to Íñigo (with an acute accent on the letter I), and I was wondering if you could provide some insight on the matter. I too am under the impression that Íñigo is the correct orthography, and Behind the Name, a website dedicated to the etymology and history of first names, and Wiktionary seems to coincide with this. However, as I was recently writing the article Iñigo Martínez on Finnish Wikipedia, most of the sources I found had his name as Iñigo instead of Íñigo. I’m wondering why? Is it a relic from the typewriter times when it was impossible (or so I’ve heard) to use accents on capitalized letters due to technical restrictions? Another factor might be that most of the people with the name are Basques, and there are no accents in the Basque language, but the name’s Spanish though (according to Behind the Name, the Basque form is Eneko), so that shouldn’t matter either, right? I’d just like to be sure before going about moving the article (and possibly several others). – Kooma ( talk) 11:25, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh yes, I want to do that too, but not just Hồng Bàng but many other articles about Vietnamese dynasties as well. As you can find them in Template:History of Vietnam, Kauffner had also renamed several articles to that without diacritics with the same reason as in Talk:Ngo Bao Chau despite that the Vietnamese dynasty articles were NOT part of that RM. And yes, actually, you can help me to put a RM for that because I somehow don't speak English very well (English is not my native language).
Moreover, I see that you also put RM to further various articles to rename them with diacritics in their titles. Similar to the case in Talk:Ngo Bao Chau, you should gather all of them together into one RM.
As for the case about the word "dynasty", you can help me argue about that too (perhaps in the talk page of some WIKI:Naming convenience project). There were 2 actions that contrasted one another. Some users attempted to rename the articles by de-capitalizing the word "dynasty" (check out Vietnamese dynasty articles, Kauffner and User:Tony1 renamed them by dropping the word "dynasty" to lower-case form). Yet on the other hand, some users also renamed other articles by putting "dynasty" in upper case (such as in the cases of Ottoman Dynasty and Chakri Dynasty
I don't get this. What does this mean anyway? I was thinking that: do we have two policies about this? We probably have to bring this issue to some talk page of Wiki:project about history and capitalization for many more users to discuss. ༆ ( talk) 09:14, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps I've teased you enough about this one. No, áo doesn't translate as shirt, tunic, blouse, or anything really.

"Cat" is con mèo, with con a classifier used for animals and children. Kauffner ( talk) 03:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
i do not think that I can help you to clarify this. It is a year ago, and I cannot noe recall it except by reviewing the page history. As far as I can see it was, or seemed to be, a straightforward move to eliminate the diacritical marks, which is reasonable in the English wikipedia. this is all that I did.

I did not reply to this, but I was wondering if you could explain it, in the context:
...moreover a bunch of living persons where considerable effort in the form of redirects was expended to spell incorrectly. The notability issue is something for WP:HOCKEY to address.

In ictu oculi (talk) 12:00 am, 24 August 2012, last Friday (6 days ago) (UTC−4)
I was complaining about people creating stubs with no effort to make them into articles, which applies to any article, of any category. Editors are supposed to create articles with intent to expand them into articles right away. The notability guidelines don't exempt that obligation, only allow a way to create articles without immediate deletion. I don't see what your tagging it to my comment was about. It seems like 'last-wordism', to coin a phrase. Secondly, I don't know if any of the players named in the various moves have appeared in any top-flight international competition. From the sample I've seen, they are just run-of-the-mill players too. Are we in opposition on something? Do you perceive some bias here on Wikipedia?

The only guidance I can find in the MoS that's somewhat relevant is here:
Names of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, stars, constellations, and galaxies are proper nouns and begin with a capital letter (The planet Mars can be seen tonight in the constellation Gemini, near the star Pollux). The first letter of every word in such a name is capitalized (Alpha Centauri and not Alpha centauri; Milky Way, not Milky way). In the case of compounds with generic terms such as comet and galaxy (but not star or planet), follow the International Astronomical Union's recommended style and include the generic as part of the name and capitalize it (Halley's Comet is the most famous of the periodic comets; Astronomers describe the Andromeda Galaxy as a spiral galaxy).
By analogy, Dynasty should be capitalised, but that part of the MoS is disputed - some would prefer, for example, that Halley's Comet should have a lowercase 'c'. I personally lean slightly toward preferring capitalisation, but style guides seem to be divided on the subject, and inclined to make subtle distinctions. Chicago says to use 'Eighteenth Dynasty' but 'Sung dynasty', on the grounds that 'Eighteenth Dynasty' is a proper name. Colonies Chris ( talk) 19:25, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

FYI... you need to add the comma after the surname. It actually makes a difference. If there is no comma, the software treats the name as one big word. For example, "Nguyen Tran" and "Ngyuen, Hoang". "Nguyen Tran" is one word, sort is Ngyuen[space]Tran and the space causes it come before any Ngyuen with no space. So, "Nguyen Tran" will come before "Ngyuen, Hoang" in a list. The comma is required for all names with a surname. If there is no surname, then the comma can be omitted. The problem can be seen at [:Category:Vietnamese people stubs]. The first cluster of Nguyen's either have no defaultsort set or no comma. The second cluster has a comma in the defaultsort. I hope my explanation is somewhat clear as I can be confusing.

One small notes: since the time of Monarch Đinh Tiên Hoàng (968 - 979), the VNmese monarchs all called themselves "Emperor" (皇帝, Hoàng đế), not "King" (王, vương). The reason is: these monarchs wanted to prove everybody that they are the rulers of an independent "empire", not a "vassal kingdom" of China. However, since VN also wanted to maintain good relationship with its old nemesis (China), the VNmese monarchs did not say anything when the Chinese call them "king". After all, the ancient Chinese Empire always wanted to see Vietnam as an vassal of it, even if in name only. And the VNmese believed that "it is not shameful to avoid an gigantic elephant".
So, on my opinion, I guess we should not call the monarchs Lê Hiến Tông and Lê Hiển Tông as kings. They are not kings after all.
In VNmese, we usually use the word "vua" to call the monarchs. A "vua" can be king or emperor, or any kind of head-of-a-monarchic-state. Михаил Александрович Шолохов ( talk) 15:25, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
In modern Vietnam, its vua Bảo Ðại/"King Bao Dai". [12] Hoàng đế/"emperor" is a Sinification, and out of style in this age of plainspoken vernacular. If a primary source is written in classical Chinese, it won't won't use a purely Vietnamese word like vua. Kauffner ( talk) 09:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Not wanting to clutter the Senegal River thread for others, I'd rather reply to your comments here. Permit me to be honest: I confess I did not immediately assume good faith when you came to the Senegal River page on the heels of the Peter I/II/III RM discussion. And the nature of your comments seemed so nitpicky and narrow (and absurd*), I actually thought you were deliberately mocking my pedantic demand for similar precision in the Peters case.
I say "absurd", because to me, it is something that I believed anybody with even the faintest awareness of Africa would have been aware of - from the regular run of a normal newspaper, as simple and common as knowing that the Thames is not spelled Tems or the Nile is not spelled Nil. But being someone with more-than-usual interest in Africa, I might have misjudged the extent of common knowledge about the geography of the continent. But needless to say, believing it so prevalent - and that even the simplest search would have cleared it up - I assumed that the only explanation was that you must be pulling my leg.
To be frank, I undertook the search not because I believe you comments merited it, but because I didn't want you to sabotage someone else's RM on my account, over a debate we had elsewhere. I still don't believe it was a good use of my time, I believe it is something you could have cleared up yourself to your satisfaction in a matter of seconds, certainly far less time than it took you to find those exceptions and compose your posts. And I'm still not sure why you didn't. But having done more than I think I ought to have, your comment "its a good use of your time" sounded to me like mockery, and I didn't take it well.
So, let me apologize for not assuming good faith. It may have been hasty and unfair of me to guess at your motives and read your comments in a way different than you intended them. So I'm going to refrain from guessing at your reasons, and assume you were earnest - even if a bit overly pedantic.
I will refrain from making comments on your comments there. And I ask that you please refrain from sabotaging the Senegal River RM on my account. Walrasiad ( talk) 06:40, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, I posted some comments for you on Talk:Joseph Inguimberty, but I thought I'd stop by here to tell you about a really cool tool you can get to format citations called "ProveIt" - just by setting something in your "My preferences". See User:ProveIt GT#English Wikipedia. It makes it pretty easy to have the citations completed in an easy manner.
Also, for google.books - you can get the bibliography information for the citation from the initial page for the book (very bottom of the page in the large, right-hand section. Or, if you did a query to get search results, from the left hand side of the google.books page, click on "About this book" and you'll get the initial page for the book.

You're doing some great work related to the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine articles: you're finding reliable sources and ensuring that you're not copyrighting the info which are two huge plusses. Thanks so much for all your hard work on expanding this interesting topic.
You were also very right to broach the topic of notability about the instructors at the school! Since some of the stub articles, though, don't really seem to be notable for an article, I moved them over to the school article. It may be, though, that there is more information found to prove that they are notable - for instance for have completed a number of works within a movement that received significant national and international attention. If so, all that has to be done is go back to history and bring back the previous version (before I redirected it) and expand the article.
In the short run, though, putting their information in the school article seems the best. The good news is that because of the redirect, anyone who wants to found out about these artists will be able to do so!

I've nominated the Georges Barrière and Alix Aymé articles for three reasons:
You did exactly the right thing by reaching out about this earlier - we may have just had a misunderstanding. For what it's worth, I've gone through this process, too - and have learned about this through this process, too. Some times I've saved articles once I explained why the article topic was notable - and sometimes I haven't because it just wasn't notable.
I'm happy to talk you through this by taking a closer look at the articles - and to make this process easier and not so stressful. Hang in there, the topics are very interesting - it's just making sure they're encyclopedic content. There may even be a way to roll the artists into a larger conversation like "Art schools in Vietnam during French occupation" or a similar construct. Again, here to help.
Please also look at the questions on the deletion discussion page. If you can answer why they're notable, I'll back you up.-- CaroleHenson ( talk) 17:47, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
I don't think Đỗ Minh Quân meets WP:NTENNIS guidelines. Here is his ITF link and ATP link. ITF Future wins mean bubkis.

Thanks for the appreciative comments. I can see changing non-standard letters into their more familiar equivalents, so Dollfuss not Dollfuß or Heydar Aliyev not Heydər Əliyev. But when it comes to ordinary diacritics above or below regular Latin letters, I truly do not understand the fuss. They do not impair reading and they are supported by pretty much any browser nowadays. The "English usage" argument is nonsense: yes, not every newspaper will bother printing them, but academic texts nearly always do and have for a number of years; moreover, there is no reason for us to want to lower our level to that of a press uninterested in such matters. They also aid in pronunciation and avoid confusion if you know how to read the language. Take for example Dărmăneşti and Dârmăneşti. Free of diacritics, one assumes (even if one knows Romanian) they have the same pronunciation. With them, it of course makes a difference. I know I'm preaching to the converted, but it's just too bad so much time needs to be wasted on something quite obvious. This is actually one of the things that drew me to Wikipedia: I would wince a little when I saw " Brancoveanu" or " Bratianu" or " Marasesti", and it was quite refreshing to see them spelled correctly and in an English text. - Biruitorul Talk 14:46, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi In ictu - I moved Ho Chi Minh prize again, leaving a more detailed reasoning on the talk page, but now I realize I should probably have gone through RM. Problem is, someone else has already commented. I thought I'd ask you your opinion on the best way forward. Of course, RM is only for controversial moves, and if my reasoning and examples have convinced you, there may be no controversy, and we can leave well enough alone. :) Dohn joe ( talk) 17:38, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
In ictu - I don't understand. I made a page move, and left my reasoning on the talkpage. You reverted, saying it was an undiscussed move - but didn't respond to my reasoning, which was on the talkpage at the time you reverted (which is what I was referring to when I said my post was "ignored"). Instead, you came to my talkpage, asking if I knew it was "your" article. After a delay, during which I was essentially away from WP, but which I apologized for - I explained that I did not know this was your article, but asked you again to respond to the expanded reasoning I left on the article talkpage. I moved the article again, but, acknowledging that it was probably an error in judgment, I came here to ask your opinion on the best way forward. You responded by moving the page again (which I actually don't have a problem with in itself), and accusing me of targeting one of your articles, being in cahoots with some editor that I don't recall ever interacting with, and generally making things personal - all of which are untrue. Believe it or not, I don't have any bone to pick with you. I don't think you understand my position on diacritics, but that's neither here nor there. I've asked you to retract your false accusations at the HCM Prize talkpage. If you have anything to say in response besides that, please keep it here or my talkpage, and leave the article talkpage for discussions of content. Thanks.

Based on the comments on the RPP section, I think as you noted the lack of page protection on these pages is just an invitation for waste of time on "after the fact discussions" when someone boldly/suddenly moves a page that has been stable for many years.

Perhaps you are not aware the issue of Chinese characters on Vietnamese articles has long been controversial, with Chinese editors adding them and Vietnamese editors taking them off. [13] Even comprehensive Vietnamese dictionaries generally do not include such characters. ( This is all I could find on the web, but I have also looked at printed dictionaries.)

Looking this up for fun I was puzzled by the lead which seemed pov, using the word 'However' and citing a person who seems to be a minor academic and isn't mentioned in the body of the text.

I don't think Handy's view is clear in your edit, which could be read as denying a Mesopotamian source. Normally I would just charge in and rewrite, but as it's you I wonder if you'd like to do it?

When you create a disambiguation page, please do not add it directly to Category:Disambiguation pages, but use the {{ dab}} template instead. That way AWB recognises it as an article not to label as a stub, and also it gets the appropriate footnote appearing in the article. I've fixed this one now.
Please also note that there is a specific format to use for disambiguation pages where there is a primary usage, as here - see WP:MOSDAB. Again, I've fixed this one now. Pam D 12:36, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Heya In ictu oculi,
It is completely optional whether or not to leave a notification about SPI cases with the accused users. In many cases, it can hinder the investigation if such notices are provided, so they are sometimes omitted. Generally this is left up to the person filing the case, but there is nothing to stop anyone else from leaving such warnings.
It seems very clear that Kauffner is not a first-time editor, hence why I have endorsed for a check. I do agree that it is not clear-cut as to whether or not he is a sock of ༆, which is why checkuser is helpful so as to clear the matter up.

When you create a disambiguation page (such as Semitic (disambiguation)), please do not add Category:Disambiguation pages. Please add the template {{ dab}} or {{ disambiguation}}. The template does much more than just add the category: it creates the footnote telling the read it's a dab page, and it also warns bots like MenoBot that this is a dab page, so that future bots or editors don't add inappropriate tags like {{ stub}} and {{ orphan}}, which in turn wastes the time of editors stub-sorting or doing cleanup.
This is the fourth time I've explained this to you (see above 5 Oct, 16 Oct, 30 Nov). Continuing to do something wrong when it has been repeatedly pointed out to you is disruptive to the encyclopedia. Please try to get it right in future. Thanks. Pam D 21:03, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello Oculi, You edited the article on phrasal verbs a couple of weeks ago. You appear to have added a lengthy foonote. The information in that footnote is helpful, but it doesn't belong in a footnote. It should be, I believe, integrated in the main article, with a note pointing to the source that it comes from.

Dear In ictu oculi,
There is again vandalism and bullying going on at the page Saint Thomas Christians. Editors are coming together with an agenda against Syriac traditions of the Malabar Nasrani people and questioning even the most mundane facts. This has gone to absurd extent of stating that the term for the Syriac community 'Mar Thoma Nasrani' may be a derivative of english term 'Saint Thomas Christian'. Besides being absurd and revealing their agenda, most references clearly and logically explains how 'Saint Thomas Christian' is a derivative or translation of the syriac term 'Mar Thoma (Saint Thomas) Nasrani'. Nasrani is an ancient Hebrew Syriac-Aramaic term coined much before Modern English evolved through the works of Chaucer and others. I have left other comments regarding this bullying on the talk page of the article Saint Thomas Christians. But there is nothing I can do when administrators abuse their power with an agenda. Please look into it. The article was renamed as 'Saint Thomas Christians' instead of 'Mar Thoma Nasrani' and now they state that the Syriac term could be a derivative of the english term. It is like saying the term 'Deutschland' is a derivative of 'Germany'. One does not need references to know this is nothing but BULLYING. This kind of bullying was anticipated when the agenda was clearly set for the renaming and merging of the page Syrian Malabar Nasrani. The editors are bullying others apparently working in concert though there is no way to ascertain it, though one may clearly feel so by the nature of their work in tandem. Your help is requested to stop this bullying. thanks Robin klein ( talk) 14:44, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

I note your objection to the correct comparison of communion to a simulated cannibalism ritual, however, it is a quite accurate description of the custom. Some like to talk around this obvious point with meaningless semantical 'distinctions', such as this claim from the catholic.com web forum: "The Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ are contained truly, really, and substantially in the Eucharist. They are not present materially..." However, the basic fact is that the ritual is symbolic of cannibalism, and the scriptures are quite clear about the ritual being an allegory for cannibalism. John 6:48-66; Mark 14:22-24; Matthew 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20. In the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, the bread and wine are interpreted as literally becoming Jesus' flesh and blood.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Joseph Michel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Aunty-S ( talk) 14:16, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Humphreys of Cambridge University and the Royal Institution in London, recounts and refutes the arguments for Wednesday Crucifixion. Jimmy Aiken of the National Catholic Register also takes time to refute the Wednesday Crucifixion theory here, noting that "some Protestant churches, especially Fundamentalist ones" subscribe to the theory. Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ by H. W. Hoehner also discusses this at length. Other sources from books which advance the theory include Wednesday Crucifixion by Rev. George L. Miller and this older doctoral dissertation by Jeremiah Knigh Aldrich, altough neither of these two authors are professors. Taken together, the Wednesday Crucifixion position is certainly a minority one but I included it because of its pervasiveness in the scholarly discussion of crucifixion dates.-- YHoshua ( talk) 05:41, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Nice article you've started. A couple of comments:
1) The Roman day began at midnight long before the Julian reform. See Censorinus XII and particularly note 109. Censorinus also gives information about the introduction of sundials to Rome in the same chapter.
2) Some of your quotes are truncated at some arbitrary point -- see notes 4, 5, 9.

Their creed:
I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, Creator of Heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible. And in his Spiritual Son, Jesus Christ, Whom was born of Mary and Joseph, Was not consubstantial nor co-eternal with God the Father almighty, Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day His Spirit was resurrected. He ascended into Heaven, And sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty. Whence he shall come again to judge the living and the dead, Of whose Kingdom there shall be no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, The Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, The communion of saints, The forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the Spirit, And life everlasting. Amen.
Does that sound anything at all like Arianism? LOL. It sounds like a mix of Origenism, Adoptionism, Ebionitism, Watchtower doctrine, and the Jesus Seminar, leaning towards Deism. He says at the end, "I believe in the forgiveness of sins" - well, according to the rest of the creed, how is that to be accomplished? Moral Therapeutic Deism? Animal sacrifice? What is the point of Christianity if not that Jesus died for sins? (Paul says as much, that if he didn't die and be resurrected in the body, that the faith is a fool's belief and a waste of time, but they don't hold that high of an opinion of the good Apostle.) In that creed, he's just some crucified dude (yea, aren't we all spiritual sons of God by adoption?). Arius is rolling over in his grave (and yelling "wake up!" at Pelagius, while grabbing Charles Taze Russell in one hand and Paul Tillich in the other, with Origen telling them all to pipe down)! I feel like posting this on the Christianity or Theology board, as I have never seen something quite so theologically confused. St John Chrysostom Δόξα τω Θεώ 13:15, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

In [2] and identical edits to 6 other talk pages, you refer to a guideline saying "the subject's full name should be given in the lead paragraph, if known." But you never say what you think should be changed in the 7 articles. Is your concern that a common English form of the name is given first and in bold? "full name" in WP:Manual_of_Style/Biographies#First_mention means to include often omitted parts of the name like a middle name. "full name" does not mean the name in the native language of the subject. For that, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section#Foreign language. The name of the native language should not be italicised but apart from that the leads look OK to me. PrimeHunter ( talk) 23:22, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
The Ebionites article has already been accepted for further review by the Arbitration Committee, although the beginning of the case was stalled in an attempt to try mediation. I regret to say that, given the complications from a serious head-injury a few years back and the generally slight chance of recurring seizures as a result of same, at this point it is not necessarily in my own interests to spend much concentrated time on subjects which cause significant emotional responses and accompanying elevated neuromuscular tension to me. I have elsewhere indicated my disgust with certain other regular editors regarding that content, and, unfortnately, at this time, view it as probably being the only discussion here which might be counterproductive to my own health. I was wondering what you might think of, perhaps, assisting me in reviewing the previous discussions, some of which you yourself seem to have been involved in previous discussion, and was wondering what you might think of perhaps assisting in the evidence-collection and preparation stage.

Hi - You recently participated in a move proposal discussion regarding articles about zombies and zombie pop culture archived at Talk:Zombie. That proposal was not approved, and a new discussion is taking place at Talk:Zombie (fictional) that is narrower in scope, and concerns only whether the older Voodoo and newer Romero zombie pop culture should be included in the same article or whether it should be separated. These are articles that receive a lot of hits, and should probably get more input than just the two editors having the current discussion. I'm flagging all old move discussion participants regarding the new discussion, and your input would be appreciated. LaTeeDa ( talk) 21:51, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Bible translations into Manx, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Translations of the Bible into Celtic Languages. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot ( talk) 03:06, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hiya speedy! (in reference to "in the blink of an eye" ),
I just wanted to drop a note to you that I left a rather lengthy reply on directed your way on my talk page. I think that I rambled on a little but, but I'm fairly sure that everything is on point so I hope that it's not too difficult to read through. I wasn't sure if if you intended to "sign off" with your last reply (you said "thanks for this answer.", which kinda closes off your reply), and my response is lengthy, so I just wanted to drop a note here.

Hello, In ictu oculi. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
We now have a proposed MOS for religious content at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Manual of style. I have recently added some material which I basically copied from the extant Judaism and NRM manuals, but think that one of the big problems this MOS might have to face that others might not is how to deal with content, like John the Baptist and some other Biblical figures, which is important to multiple religions, although not necessarily for the same reasons or in the same way. John the Baptist, for instance, is considered the Messiah by the Mandaeans, who see Jesus in a negative light. If you would have any opinions on how to structure guidelines dealing with such content, I think we would all welcome it. John Carter ( talk) 23:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello In ictu oculi. There was no need to thank me at all, I just expressed what I considered appropriate at that point. I may have been a bit hard on causa sui, but he was hard on you as well, and I didn´t appreaciate after all his recomendation of you dropping the issue after all the efort you have done, and all of that because of no valid reason for you to drop it. He should either expressed a valid rationale that could be usefull for the discussion, or otherwise simply recomending someone to give up just because he prefers it that way is kind of a non-valid argument.
The throuth is that I appreciated your effort in getting this discussion finished once and for all, and your effort in trying to archive some consensus and guideline for everyone over this issue. Avoiding it, or dropping it as causa sui suggested, will inevitably just further delay the solving of this problem and create further unecesary discussions over this in future. I already participated in a number of this same discussions over the last couple of years, and it was painfull to see each time us going nowhere after great ammount of effort and time that has been dedicated in those discussions by numerous editors. So, at least this time I hoped some result would be archived at the end. Anyway, thank you for your kind words. Best regards, FkpCascais ( talk) 00:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Since you asked, a number of your questions are answered in the Messianic Judaism history section. Specficially: Note 10 (Ariel) says the term 'resurfaced' in Israel in the 1940s and 1950s, leading the casual reader to assume it had existed prior to then. Note 52(also Ariel) explains that in the 1890s "immigrant Jews who had accepted the Christian faith yet contained to retain Jewish rites and customs ... (promoted) the idea that Jewish converts should not abandon their cultural and religious heritage." Note 58 (Cohen-Sherbok)says Rabinowitz was writing blended orders of service in 1865. With note 54, Rausch explains the the Messianic Jewish movement and the Hebrew Christian movement were both operating in 1915. The sources seem to indicate the Messianic movement grew quietly in the US after the 20s, seeking respectability, and continued to operate in other countries (including Russia and Israel); the Hebrew Christian viewpoints took precedence until the 1960s, when Jesus Movement and Jews for Jesus saw a growth of young people not content to sit in HC congregations, and in Note 57, Hocken explains these youth changed the purposes and the name of the HC congregations and started using the name Messianic Judaism.-- DeknMike ( talk) 04:19, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

As you will be aware I have just placed this onto the the talk page of [[WP:AT]
I was going to follow it up with a second paragraph, but that second paragraph is really an editor to editor message so I have decided to post it here instead:
That you want to create a short cut to overemphasise one criteria that you think will help you advance you point of view is a bad idea. There comes a point where passionate argument for a point of view becomes disruptive and I think that if you create this redirect without a clear consensus to do so, when other editors have expressed their opposition, you will have crossed the Rubicon into disruptive behaviour. My opinion of course is just that, but I suspect that others will agree with me. I dislike user RfCs because they are very time consuming and so I have never initiated one, but if you create this link when other have expressed clear objections I may. You have to ask yourself would two other editors second it? -- PBS ( talk) 08:45, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
You've claimed that there is a "2 vs 1 situation" 'against' AuthorityTam. In fact, several editors (including pro-JW editors) indicated at the previous ANI that AuthorityTam's behaviour—particularly his frequent digs at BlackCab— are inappropriate. The main problem is regarding AuthorityTam's persistent irrelevant comments about other editors, and it's entirely unclear how requesting that he cease that behaviour would be at all detrimental to his making useful edits to JW articles.-- Jeffro77 ( talk) 08:46, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
I have recently nominated Joses up for merger. A few other editors have objected. It is interesting to check the communications between some, by the way. Anyway, considering that article is more or less in your specialty field, if you could produce evidence that it is notable, or have an opinion on the merger, either would be more than welcome.
And, by the way, I have finished the article list for "Israelite religion" (the Hebrew Bible, basically). It can be found at User:John Carter/Religion articles#Israelite religion. I'm going to try to finish the rest of the lists, and then look for and assess all the related articles. John Carter ( talk) 00:12, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I have reverted the moves and put them up for a WP:RM. If you make such moves in future then use the WP:RM. If you come across any other editor making moves of articles with accent marks to without--or visa versa--without without discussing it on the talk page first, preferably with a WP:RM request, let me know and I will take the necessary administrative action to rectify the moves.

Hi In ictu oculi, I just wanted to tell you that I was planning in some near future to open a debate about the fact that all languages using Gaj's Latin alphabet letter Đ should have their letter transliterated in English into Dj. To back this proposal, which will affect 4 languages and numerous articles, I was counting on WP:COMMONNAME and the fact that most (if not all) English language sources use the letter Dj instead. Novak Djokovic is already an exemple of it. However, that proposal should be announced in all related projects and a consensus about it should be reached. As I haven´t had the necessary time for it, for time being I was delaying it, but I just thought that it would be nice to let you know about it, and to hear your thoughts perhaps.

Fyunck, hello. Yes I know, you have put them back. I just changed only 3 of the 15 following the Gérard Solvès move to agree with the consensus, and you restored them immediately against the consensus as if the consensus and move hadn't happened. Doesn't WP:OPENPARA or that fact that a dozen editors, even those who agree with you on use of sports sources such as Kauffner, have asked you to please not to add this line in bother you at all? My only "crusade" was to weigh in with the majority against your WP:TENNISNAMES bullying of other tennis editors, otherwise I simply getting on with life editing articles in accordance with what everyone else on en.wp does and what the guidelines, and erring on the side of leaving articles with badly sourced sports websites where necessary. However the English-sports-sources problems shouldn't affect scholars, scientists, composers and politicians. You need to get on with life and find something more useful to do than putting these silly WP:TENNISNAMES arguments into BLP ledes. In ictu oculi ( talk) 06:57, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
In answer to your query, the only information I could find on this ace's death was that he died in a clinic in Pozzi. By the wording, the death would seem to be of natural causes, since Over the Front makes a note of deaths in action.

Anything on him? The Germans had a page de:John Hunt (Theologe) on him first, explained presumably by his sympathy with the Old Catholics. The introduction to his Essay on Pantheism [6] explains a bit what he thought he was up to. Biographically he pretty well sunk without trace in English, though. His History of Religious Thought gets cited here. It looks like a tough industrial parish in Sunderland drove him into books. But the biographical information is partial and even inconsistent until Dean Stanley took pity on him. Charles Matthews ( talk) 12:48, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the trouble! When I modified the article's title I was not aware that there was a RM and discussion going on. I rarely take part to such discussion, which are usually of little interest or use. The fact is that whatever the decision, the correct name of the man is Édouard Hambye (without the 'René'). Father Hambye himself, whom I have known personnally, would have been surprised by such discussion and decision... Only in India and when publishing in the anglo-saxon world did he use the form 'Edouard R. Hambye' or 'Edward R. Hambye'. While in Belgium or in Rome, it was always 'Édouard Hambye'. There are enough Jesuit documents to prove this... A title such as 'Edouard René Hambye' looks really odd. Zerged ( talk) 22:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

"is a small minority view which does not reflect the reality of where en.wikipedia articles are ..." The vast majority of articles which are discussed at WP:RM are discussed in terms of reliable sources. Take for example the current discussion at Talk:Côte d'Ivoire. There although a minority of editors are stating that Wikipedia should follow official usage, the majority are debating usage in reliable English language sources. The major debate is over how accurate OCR counts of Côte d'Ivoire is and how that skews the debate, rather than questioning the methodology of using English language sources to decide the issue.
Having claimed that the CMOS supported your position -- which I took at face value (not having examined that MOS -- I noticed with interest that you made no comment on the last interesting answer that the editor of the CMOS gave to the question:
Hello from Poland! While I have never actually seen CMOS (there is no copy in the US Consulate Library in Poznan where I live), I have seen it mentioned as an authority everywhere. I am now working on a project that requires automated identification of persons and would be grateful to know if CMOS addresses the question of translating given names. When and where are they translated and when do they remain in the original language? Are there any rules in English for this? Of course, one knows the most obvious cases such as Karl Marx and Charles the Bald, but many other cases are not so obvious. For instance, Russian princes are usually named Yuri rather than George. I shall be most grateful for any tips/suggestions.
Hello from Chicago! In the books that we publish, we depend on our authors to understand their audience and to style names accordingly. If the book is for a general audience, then names will probably appear in a form familiar to English-speaking readers. If the subject of the book is more narrowly defined and will be read by specialist scholars, the author might prefer to use the original-language names. Sometimes an author writing for a general audience will wish to educate readers by using the original names, but will introduce them by popular name. Merriam-Webster’s Biographical Dictionary is a good source for variations on names. [7]
It shows that the CMOS does not consider there to be a "correct spelling". We do not follow their formula, but use one that saves us the need to make such editorial decisions ourselves, because if we follow the lead taken in English language reliable sources, then we automatically pick up the nuances of whether the subject of a biography is usually referred to using what the CMOS FAQ editor describes as "general audience, then names will probably appear in a form familiar to English-speaking readers", while a subject that has a predominance of scholarly articles about him or her may well use a different style of address. Using reliable English language sources to decide this issue removes the need to make Editorial judgements about such names particularly as editorial personal preferences tend to be a matter of aesthetics and not something that can automatically be agreed upon, while editors editing in good faith can often agree on frequency of usage in reliable English language sources.

In case you're not watching the page (although probably you are), I left a response at Talk:Pear Tomato to a remark by you. — BarrelProof ( talk) 15:22, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello In ictu oculi -
First, I'd like to say that I don't consider myself a fanatic in the intractable WP diacritics debate. I have both added and removed diacritics on occasion, depending on the situation. So, with that as a preface:
A few days ago, you reverted a few instances where I had added a common rendering of a name to an intro, citing WP:FULLNAME and WP:OPENPARA. I'm not sure how those apply to that issue, so if you could explain, that would be great.
Also, I'd like to hear from you why you think removing a single early instance of a rendering that is seen in the vast majority of English-language sources improves the encyclopedia. Someone who has only ever seen the rendering "Walesa" (for example) may be slightly disoriented or uncertain when they see "Wałęsa". Adding "Walesa" to the first sentence immediately reinforces that the reader is at the correct article, and the rest of the article can then go on to use whichever rendering has been chosen. Isn't that a benefit to the reader? No information has been lost, and some helpful information has been added. What do you think? Dohn joe ( talk) 19:16, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
A side note on liberation: In case you had not noticed, the great siphon-off has now started. So whatever has value in Wikipedia will be used elsewhere. Now they have just siphoned off the nodes, in time they will grab whatever is worth grabbing. And the boys in Redmond will do the same sooner or later. My prediction: a few people will build Wolfram alpha type versions of Wikipedia and what there is in Wikipedia now will be just the lowest level of the food chain. That is certain to happen now, given the force of the universe principle. History2007 ( talk) 00:19, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

What I'm trying to achieve is described here, near the bottom.
There's quite a good tutorial here on how to use search engines to research article titles and names. However it's hard to find. There is a link to this wierdly-titled "Search engine test" article near the bottom of the Common names section of Article titles, but most Wikipedia users will never find the article, much less read all the way down to the tutorial. I feel that it would be beneficial to many users to link direct to this tutorial section from near the top of Wikipedia:Article titles. How do you feel about this?

Hi. I hope it's OK that I'm going to be pretty blunt here. Can you please explain how you came across
Bui doi and made
this edit? It looks like you are following Kauffner's contributions and, if you are, I strongly advise you to stop. Following the contribs of an editor that you are so regularly in disagreement with and then reverting their edits could easily be seen as
hounding. Of course, if you do have a reasonable explanation, I unreservedly apologise for jumping to conclusions. Also, and this is not really a problem, in your edit summary you said "not the correct location", but the redirect is actually the correct place to put a {{db-move}}
tag.
Jenks24 (
talk) 09:48, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
{{db-move}}
should not be used to do so. However, moves involving capitalisation are often, but not always, uncontroversial, which means it's OK to {{db-move}}
. Seeing as the article does not have prior title discussions on the talk page and uses lower case throughout, why do you think a move to the lower case would be controversial?
Jenks24 (
talk) 13:59, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
{{db-move}}
– I agree it should not be used for diacritics, but it is perfectly OK to use for capitalisation. To be clear: there is no black-and-white rule, each case must be judged on its merits. Do you actually think the the article should remain the capitalised title, or did you remove the tag because of a misinterpretation of what Malik had said?
Jenks24 (
talk) 10:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
I think there is a larger problem here; I have also been watching Kauffner's edits, mainly as a result of several RMs he has put forth that are contentious. Kauffner is well aware that removing diacritics is disputed, yet over the past month or so he has moved dozens if not hundreds of articles without any discussion, and then has gone back and re-categorized the redirects, which prevents anyone from reverting the move. The result is, a consensus title (e.g a title that had been stable with diacritics) is now changed, and it can't be changed back without going through a RM. I feel that this is (a) not in line with the VN style guide, which suggests use of diacritics is fine if sources follow and (b) somewhat sneaky. I would suggest that some other action should be taken to ask Kauffner to cease these actions, and open up a larger RfC on VN diacritics. In any case, the unilateral page moves should stop. -- KarlB ( talk) 18:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

You will want to look at the close I left there. I appreciate your efforts to shed light on the subject at my Talk page, and I saw evidence you'd "stepped away form the revert wars", so my note here should not be construed as a warning. The short form of my close is that existing policy isn't specific enough for me to say dediacriticed forms are or aren't significant alternate forms. A local consensus about that question would based on less than half a dozen comments would have not gotten us any real resolution. So....
What I would suggest is getting that nailed down with an RfC at WT:AT. It sucks, I wish this could be handled in a lighter-weight way, but I unfortunately I'm left with the belief that that's the only way a result is going to stick. In the meantime, the behavior of edit warring has to stop, and I hope that I've now made it clearer that further reversions on this subject won't be looked at kindly until this is resolved.

Hi--
Back in June you asked a question on my talkpage about a few Categories you were interested in, and I replied that I didn't know anything at all about Categories - which is still true. Now I want to ask you about an apparently obsolete and useless Category page, which I just happened to notice below where I had been posting at Talk:Deconstruction#About the French wikipedia article for "Deconstruction", called "Category:Articles linked from high traffic sites". I didn't know what this meant; the article on Deconstruction is certainly not "high traffic". Looking at the Category page I seem not to find a complete history - just two quite old entries, one from a bot. And on the talkpage, clicking the link See visitor traffic goes to a dead end. Would this entire Category be a candidate for deletion? Milkunderwood ( talk) 01:58, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Why do I get the feeling User:Leaky caldron has some sort of vested interest in keeping the article at that title? There are certainly very strong arguments for having the article at Inter Milan, but there are equally strong (if not stronger) arguments for having it at F.C. Internazionale Milano. I'm trying to leave a reasonable gap before reopening a move request, but once enough time has elapsed, I'm going to make sure that the RM is adequately advertised, unlike the others. Oftentimes, it is sufficient to advertise in the table at WP:FOOTY, but at other times, we have to post on specific people's talk pages; this is one of those times. – Pee Jay 00:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your support of retaining Vietnamese diacritics. I'm also one of the very strong supporters for that. Just to remind you that when after you create an article with name in diacritics, please don't forget to make a redirect from the title without diacritics.

Greetings. I see you have changed several occurrences of Iñigo to Íñigo (with an acute accent on the letter I), and I was wondering if you could provide some insight on the matter. I too am under the impression that Íñigo is the correct orthography, and Behind the Name, a website dedicated to the etymology and history of first names, and Wiktionary seems to coincide with this. However, as I was recently writing the article Iñigo Martínez on Finnish Wikipedia, most of the sources I found had his name as Iñigo instead of Íñigo. I’m wondering why? Is it a relic from the typewriter times when it was impossible (or so I’ve heard) to use accents on capitalized letters due to technical restrictions? Another factor might be that most of the people with the name are Basques, and there are no accents in the Basque language, but the name’s Spanish though (according to Behind the Name, the Basque form is Eneko), so that shouldn’t matter either, right? I’d just like to be sure before going about moving the article (and possibly several others). – Kooma ( talk) 11:25, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
As I said before, I'm not personally keen on moving Banh canh back to Bánh canh, although another admin might want to do it. In general I'm not keen on preserving diacritics on enwp page titles if a version without them has entered common usage in English-language literature describing the concept.

I agree with you that this debate is not going anywhere. Both sides have already presented all their concerns and reasons, but both failed to persuade their opponents. Keep discussing in this topic only adds more unneccessary heat to the place. I guess I will go to have several glasses of trà đá then :). Sincerely.

Seconded. I think it's time that we post another message on Village pump or something; reading the latest batch of comments from the anti-diacritics side started to annoy me, and that's really not a good sign. Personally, as an editor who came to this issue from an outside source, who had no prior involvement initially, I'm really getting sick of the personal attacks, and the incivility aimed at you, me, and the others in that thread.

Hi In ictu oculi. Can I call you IIO? I came here encouraging you to stand for adminship just to see people have recommended it before. I'm not surprised. From what I've seen at RM, you have a solid grasp of policies and a cool head. In April, you cited your position on diacritics in tennis names as a potential stumbling block to adminship, but since then, the tide has turned rather decisively in favor of your position. I hope you'll reconsider. I'd be happy to nominate you (although you could probably find more of a heavyweight to do that), or at least to register my strong support.

Oh yes, I want to do that too, but not just Hồng Bàng but many other articles about Vietnamese dynasties as well. As you can find them in Template:History of Vietnam, Kauffner had also renamed several articles to that without diacritics with the same reason as in Talk:Ngo Bao Chau despite that the Vietnamese dynasty articles were NOT part of that RM. And yes, actually, you can help me to put a RM for that because I somehow don't speak English very well (English is not my native language).
Moreover, I see that you also put RM to further various articles to rename them with diacritics in their titles. Similar to the case in Talk:Ngo Bao Chau, you should gather all of them together into one RM.
As for the case about the word "dynasty", you can help me argue about that too (perhaps in the talk page of some WIKI:Naming convenience project). There were 2 actions that contrasted one another. Some users attempted to rename the articles by de-capitalizing the word "dynasty" (check out Vietnamese dynasty articles, Kauffner and User:Tony1 renamed them by dropping the word "dynasty" to lower-case form). Yet on the other hand, some users also renamed other articles by putting "dynasty" in upper case (such as in the cases of Ottoman Dynasty and Chakri Dynasty
I don't get this. What does this mean anyway? I was thinking that: do we have two policies about this? We probably have to bring this issue to some talk page of Wiki:project about history and capitalization for many more users to discuss. ༆ ( talk) 09:14, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps I've teased you enough about this one. No, áo doesn't translate as shirt, tunic, blouse, or anything really. It's a classifier for clothing: áo sơ mi is a shirt, áo đầm is a dress, and áo bà ba is the famous "black pajamas". There is a lot of this in Vietnamese. "Cat" is con mèo, with con a classifier used for animals and children. Kauffner ( talk) 03:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
i do not think that I can help you to clarify this. It is a year ago, and I cannot noe recall it except by reviewing the page history. As far as I can see it was, or seemed to be, a straightforward move to eliminate the diacritical marks, which is reasonable in the English wikipedia. this is all that I did. Any other moves or taggings (which I cannot see) were not done by me. I have, of course, no problem with being reverted here.-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 22:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
I am surprised here! I am not sure if it is the correct spelling Gooroodas Banerjee and Gurudas Banerjee. Being a native speaker of Bengali, I can se the spelling Gooroodas is completely weird. It is like spelling (Mother) Mary as May-re. There is no problem if that person used to use that weird spelling, I think. Also note the surname is a complex one (Banerjee also means Bandopadhyay, it is like Jimmy and Jimbo), So, it should not be a quick decision! -- Tito Dutta ✉ 00:19, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I did not reply to this, but I was wondering if you could explain it, in the context:
...moreover a bunch of living persons where considerable effort in the form of redirects was expended to spell incorrectly. The notability issue is something for WP:HOCKEY to address. But (myself having no interest other than the BLP accuracy angle), by WP:WORLDVIEW these Czechs and Slovaks are probably more notable globally than many Canadian players who have never represented their country and are only of local Canadian interest. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:00 am, 24 August 2012, last Friday (6 days ago) (UTC−4)
I was complaining about people creating stubs with no effort to make them into articles, which applies to any article, of any category. Editors are supposed to create articles with intent to expand them into articles right away. The notability guidelines don't exempt that obligation, only allow a way to create articles without immediate deletion. I don't see what your tagging it to my comment was about. It seems like 'last-wordism', to coin a phrase. Secondly, I don't know if any of the players named in the various moves have appeared in any top-flight international competition. From the sample I've seen, they are just run-of-the-mill players too. Are we in opposition on something? Do you perceive some bias here on Wikipedia?

The only guidance I can find in the MoS that's somewhat relevant is here:
Names of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, stars, constellations, and galaxies are proper nouns and begin with a capital letter (The planet Mars can be seen tonight in the constellation Gemini, near the star Pollux). The first letter of every word in such a name is capitalized (Alpha Centauri and not Alpha centauri; Milky Way, not Milky way). In the case of compounds with generic terms such as comet and galaxy (but not star or planet), follow the International Astronomical Union's recommended style and include the generic as part of the name and capitalize it (Halley's Comet is the most famous of the periodic comets; Astronomers describe the Andromeda Galaxy as a spiral galaxy).
By analogy, Dynasty should be capitalised, but that part of the MoS is disputed - some would prefer, for example, that Halley's Comet should have a lowercase 'c'. I personally lean slightly toward preferring capitalisation, but style guides seem to be divided on the subject, and inclined to make subtle distinctions. Chicago says to use 'Eighteenth Dynasty' but 'Sung dynasty', on the grounds that 'Eighteenth Dynasty' is a proper name. Colonies Chris ( talk) 19:25, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

FYI... you need to add the comma after the surname. It actually makes a difference. If there is no comma, the software treats the name as one big word. For example, "Nguyen Tran" and "Ngyuen, Hoang". "Nguyen Tran" is one word, sort is Ngyuen[space]Tran and the space causes it come before any Ngyuen with no space. So, "Nguyen Tran" will come before "Ngyuen, Hoang" in a list. The comma is required for all names with a surname. If there is no surname, then the comma can be omitted. The problem can be seen at [:Category:Vietnamese people stubs]. The first cluster of Nguyen's either have no defaultsort set or no comma. The second cluster has a comma in the defaultsort. I hope my explanation is somewhat clear as I can be confusing. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
One small notes: since the time of Monarch Đinh Tiên Hoàng (968 - 979), the VNmese monarchs all called themselves "Emperor" (皇帝, Hoàng đế), not "King" (王, vương). The reason is: these monarchs wanted to prove everybody that they are the rulers of an independent "empire", not a "vassal kingdom" of China. However, since VN also wanted to maintain good relationship with its old nemesis (China), the VNmese monarchs did not say anything when the Chinese call them "king". After all, the ancient Chinese Empire always wanted to see Vietnam as an vassal of it, even if in name only. And the VNmese believed that "it is not shameful to avoid an gigantic elephant".
So, on my opinion, I guess we should not call the monarchs Lê Hiến Tông and Lê Hiển Tông as kings. They are not kings after all.
In VNmese, we usually use the word "vua" to call the monarchs. A "vua" can be king or emperor, or any kind of head-of-a-monarchic-state. Михаил Александрович Шолохов ( talk) 15:25, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
In modern Vietnam, its vua Bảo Ðại/"King Bao Dai". [12] Hoàng đế/"emperor" is a Sinification, and out of style in this age of plainspoken vernacular. If a primary source is written in classical Chinese, it won't won't use a purely Vietnamese word like vua. Kauffner ( talk) 09:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Not wanting to clutter the Senegal River thread for others, I'd rather reply to your comments here. Permit me to be honest: I confess I did not immediately assume good faith when you came to the Senegal River page on the heels of the Peter I/II/III RM discussion. And the nature of your comments seemed so nitpicky and narrow (and absurd*), I actually thought you were deliberately mocking my pedantic demand for similar precision in the Peters case.
I say "absurd", because to me, it is something that I believed anybody with even the faintest awareness of Africa would have been aware of - from the regular run of a normal newspaper, as simple and common as knowing that the Thames is not spelled Tems or the Nile is not spelled Nil. But being someone with more-than-usual interest in Africa, I might have misjudged the extent of common knowledge about the geography of the continent. But needless to say, believing it so prevalent - and that even the simplest search would have cleared it up - I assumed that the only explanation was that you must be pulling my leg.
To be frank, I undertook the search not because I believe you comments merited it, but because I didn't want you to sabotage someone else's RM on my account, over a debate we had elsewhere. I still don't believe it was a good use of my time, I believe it is something you could have cleared up yourself to your satisfaction in a matter of seconds, certainly far less time than it took you to find those exceptions and compose your posts. And I'm still not sure why you didn't. But having done more than I think I ought to have, your comment "its a good use of your time" sounded to me like mockery, and I didn't take it well.
So, let me apologize for not assuming good faith. It may have been hasty and unfair of me to guess at your motives and read your comments in a way different than you intended them. So I'm going to refrain from guessing at your reasons, and assume you were earnest - even if a bit overly pedantic.
I will refrain from making comments on your comments there. And I ask that you please refrain from sabotaging the Senegal River RM on my account. Walrasiad ( talk) 06:40, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

You're doing some great work related to the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine articles: you're finding reliable sources and ensuring that you're not copyrighting the info which are two huge plusses. Thanks so much for all your hard work on expanding this interesting topic.
You were also very right to broach the topic of notability about the instructors at the school! Since some of the stub articles, though, don't really seem to be notable for an article, I moved them over to the school article. It may be, though, that there is more information found to prove that they are notable - for instance for have completed a number of works within a movement that received significant national and international attention. If so, all that has to be done is go back to history and bring back the previous version (before I redirected it) and expand the article.
In the short run, though, putting their information in the school article seems the best. The good news is that because of the redirect, anyone who wants to found out about these artists will be able to do so!

I've nominated the Georges Barrière and Alix Aymé articles for three reasons:
You did exactly the right thing by reaching out about this earlier - we may have just had a misunderstanding. For what it's worth, I've gone through this process, too - and have learned about this through this process, too. Some times I've saved articles once I explained why the article topic was notable - and sometimes I haven't because it just wasn't notable.
I'm happy to talk you through this by taking a closer look at the articles - and to make this process easier and not so stressful. Hang in there, the topics are very interesting - it's just making sure they're encyclopedic content. There may even be a way to roll the artists into a larger conversation like "Art schools in Vietnam during French occupation" or a similar construct. Again, here to help.

Thanks for the appreciative comments. I can see changing non-standard letters into their more familiar equivalents, so Dollfuss not Dollfuß or Heydar Aliyev not Heydər Əliyev. But when it comes to ordinary diacritics above or below regular Latin letters, I truly do not understand the fuss. They do not impair reading and they are supported by pretty much any browser nowadays. The "English usage" argument is nonsense: yes, not every newspaper will bother printing them, but academic texts nearly always do and have for a number of years; moreover, there is no reason for us to want to lower our level to that of a press uninterested in such matters. They also aid in pronunciation and avoid confusion if you know how to read the language. Take for example Dărmăneşti and Dârmăneşti. Free of diacritics, one assumes (even if one knows Romanian) they have the same pronunciation. With them, it of course makes a difference. I know I'm preaching to the converted, but it's just too bad so much time needs to be wasted on something quite obvious. This is actually one of the things that drew me to Wikipedia: I would wince a little when I saw " Brancoveanu" or " Bratianu" or " Marasesti", and it was quite refreshing to see them spelled correctly and in an English text. - Biruitorul Talk 14:46, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Instead, you came to my talkpage, asking if I knew it was "your" article. After a delay, during which I was essentially away from WP, but which I apologized for - I explained that I did not know this was your article, but asked you again to respond to the expanded reasoning I left on the article talkpage. I moved the article again, but, acknowledging that it was probably an error in judgment, I came here to ask your opinion on the best way forward. You responded by moving the page again (which I actually don't have a problem with in itself), and accusing me of targeting one of your articles, being in cahoots with some editor that I don't recall ever interacting with, and generally making things personal - all of which are untrue. Believe it or not, I don't have any bone to pick with you. I don't think you understand my position on diacritics, but that's neither here nor there. I've asked you to retract your false accusations at the HCM Prize talkpage. If you have anything to say in response besides that, please keep it here or my talkpage, and leave the article talkpage for discussions of content. Thanks.

Based on the comments on the RPP section, I think as you noted the lack of page protection on these pages is just an invitation for waste of time on "after the fact discussions" when someone boldly/suddenly moves a page that has been stable for many years.
I think we should make a suggestion on a relevant guideline page that:
The mentality of "let it be moved, then discuss later", was OK 7 years ago, but with 4 million pages will just eat life like Pac-man. Wikipedia:Moving a page is just an info page. Where is the suitable page for suggesting that? Thanks. History2007 ( talk) 08:54, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps you are not aware the issue of Chinese characters on Vietnamese articles has long been controversial, with Chinese editors adding them and Vietnamese editors taking them off. [13] Even comprehensive Vietnamese dictionaries generally do not include such characters. ( This is all I could find on the web, but I have also looked at printed dictionaries.) The Latin name of Alsace is reasonably well-known, but it is not included in the article's infobox. Kauffner ( talk) 05:06, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Looking this up for fun I was puzzled by the lead which seemed pov, using the word 'However' and citing a person who seems to be a minor academic and isn't mentioned in the body of the text. I then discovered it was your edit [14]. Now I haven't read Handy, but I found [15] and better than that [16] which is more relevant to your edit and perhaps even a better source. I don't think Handy's view is clear in your edit, which could be read as denying a Mesopotamian source. Normally I would just charge in and rewrite, but as it's you I wonder if you'd like to do it? I found several 'however's' and a 2010 fact tag in a para that is probably pov if not OR. Thanks. Dougweller ( talk) 05:37, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on The Sky Above the Liberated Zone requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

When you create a disambiguation page, please do not add it directly to Category:Disambiguation pages, but use the {{ dab}} template instead. That way AWB recognises it as an article not to label as a stub, and also it gets the appropriate footnote appearing in the article. I've fixed this one now.

Heya In ictu oculi,
It is completely optional whether or not to leave a notification about SPI cases with the accused users. In many cases, it can hinder the investigation if such notices are provided, so they are sometimes omitted. Generally this is left up to the person filing the case, but there is nothing to stop anyone else from leaving such warnings.
It seems very clear that Kauffner is not a first-time editor, hence why I have endorsed for a check. I do agree that it is not clear-cut as to whether or not he is a sock of ༆, which is why checkuser is helpful so as to clear the matter up.

When you create a disambiguation page (such as Semitic (disambiguation)), please do not add Category:Disambiguation pages. Please add the template {{ dab}} or {{ disambiguation}}. The template does much more than just add the category: it creates the footnote telling the read it's a dab page, and it also warns bots like MenoBot that this is a dab page, so that future bots or editors don't add inappropriate tags like {{ stub}} and {{ orphan}}, which in turn wastes the time of editors stub-sorting or doing cleanup.
This is the fourth time I've explained this to you (see above 5 Oct, 16 Oct, 30 Nov). Continuing to do something wrong when it has been repeatedly pointed out to you is disruptive to the encyclopedia. Please try to get it right in future. Thanks. Pam D 21:03, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

The picture is included in the following websites. http://www.nationalturk.com/en/khodzhaly-massacre-protests-gone-wrong-in-istanbul-you-are-all-armenian-you-are-all-bastards-16707 http://www.focushaber.com/-hepiniz-ermenisiniz-hepiniz-picsiniz--h-115245.html http://yevaylen.wordpress.com/2012/02/26/hepiniz-turkuz-hepiniz-picsiniz/ Is there a way we can upload any of these pictures? I would greatly greatly appreciate it! Thank you! Proudbolsahye ( talk) 01:34, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Do you have one single source you are using as a bible to add your "history" sections one Lord Mayors etc in the wrong articles. Please stop adding to the wrong articles and please add to more appropriate places such the article son the Lord Mayors of on the cities. This is getting quite irritating this conflation of posts and causing of unnecessary confusion where none previously existed. Sport and politics ( talk) 04:02, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello Oculi, You edited the article on phrasal verbs a couple of weeks ago. You appear to have added a lengthy foonote. The information in that footnote is helpful, but it doesn't belong in a footnote. It should be, I believe, integrated in the main article, with a note pointing to the source that it comes from. I suggest adding that information to the section on "A diagnostics". You might rename the section to something like "Diagnostics for identifying types phrasal verbs". What do you think? -- Tjo3ya ( talk) 16:37, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
