Hi!
I've been working on the german articles to this subject und just wrote the english one for Fyrkat. I have tried to make a table of the language versions here de:Benutzer:T.woelk/Wikinger. Not really pretty but at least the top eight rows or so might be of interest to you.
Being from Odense couldn't you add more dates to Nonnebakken? Something like when the nuns built their Abbey, what became of it and about the structures of the 19th century. What does the place look like today? Are there any finds in a museum? I have found different dimensions for the longhouses in Fyrkat, is there any recent publication on this in Denmark? Soon I will translate some of the Fyrkat stuff back to german and add it to the german de:Fyrkat article. How about defining a generall layout and adjusting all related articles to that. What we could use would be a generall map showing the whereabouts of all six sites as well as sketches of each layout.
And last but not least: any chance of getting a danish da:Langhus article started, with lots of info from Vorbasse? And now of to seeding more interest for this in the dutch wp ... anybody fluent enough in french to start stubs there ;-).......... T.woelk 11:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Just letting you know, I actually found one! Then again, one stub does not a category make...but it's a start. Panchitavill e talk 00:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
I am sending this message to editors I know who have done work on articles related to communism.
Adam Carr recently started bringing the Cuba article up to standard, gradually rewriting each section. In the meantime, his work has been resisted for several weeks by a group of Castro supporters who dispute, among other things, that the fact that Cuba is not a democracy. Adam Carr is now at a conference for a couple of weeks, meaning his work will likely be undone. If you have the time and the interest, please take a look.
Best regards. 172 | Talk 05:25, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, please feel free to update that Directory! I think that it is almost getting to the point where it can be added to the main Wikipedia: space (several more continents to go though!). TheGrappler 16:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
If {{
Panama-stub}} is a representative sample, I see nothing wrong with the coding of your stub templates. I noticed that you're removing template top-sorting from some others, though (with <noinclude>| </noinclude>
). Any particular reason for that? I'm not aware of any issues with that particular trick...

Hello! I am seeking detailed information on the history of the villages of Ясенівці and Залісся (Золочівський район, Lviv 'oblast'). They may be in English, Polish, Ukrainian or Russian. Zalissia was called Zalesie in Polish. Yasenivtsi (also spelled Yasenovtsy, Jasenivci) was spelled Jasienowce, Jasieniowce and Jasionowce in Polish. The only information I've got come from Slownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego 1880-1902 and Księga Adresowa Polski(=Poland Business Directories) of the years 1891,1926-1930 - there are some population data and some surnames. I have placed these information at uk.wikipedia.org (Залісся, Ясенівці). So far, the largest source on them is there... I would be grateful if you could help me and provide me with some additional information on the history of these villages. These may be some Ukrainian encyclopedias/glossaries/guide-books entries. Word or scanned documents. I am willing to help you in the things you are interested in... I may look up some information for you. Have a nice day! -- Riva72 21:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I took out the Montenegro-bio-stub for Stefan Uroš I, adding the following summary: "Montenegro stub removed. Article doesn't say he had anything to do with Montenegro". You've put the stub back without explanation. Did he have anything to do with Montenegro? If so, could you add a sentence to the article to make this clear? Andrew Dalby 12:02, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, Valentinian. What I think is needed is some more say in which of the "general fixes" AWB applies – of which this categories-stubs/stubs-categories order is one – rather than the "all or none" presently offered. Ironically, I'm starting to think the categories-then-stubs order currently applied by AWB (and presumably Martin's preference, without Wikipedia consensus...?) may be preferable – despite the other appearing to be the norm – but I believe AWB needs to offer a choice, unless one of these orders is or becomes policy. I'm intending to post an inquiry at sourceforge.net about making AWB's "general fixes" more configurable; currently, though, I'm a little inundated. (I'd also love to see AWB made available on other wiki, in particular the Commons.) Best wishes, David Kernow 01:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Thue
I noticed your redlink on Anders Fogh Rasmussen. I'm a bit uncertain in information about the collaboration policy should be included under Occupation of Denmark or its own article. Do you have any particular preferences? Regards. Valentinian (talk) 12:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for bothering but I felt I had to ask. You are from Denmanrk and you call to "support repressed people of Belarus." Have you ever been to Belarus or have you even met a single person from there? I've been there repeatedly, I happen to know over a dozen Belorussins and none of them feel repessed. I realize that's your opinion and you are free to express it, but I'm wondering whether you're basing it on the right sources. The Wikipedia article on Belarus doesn't, for instance, mention repression in Belarus as a fact. NapoleonIII 20:02, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi - I note your interest in this stub. However, by putting Nelson Mandela as the image, one feels that it is not representative of the entire political structure of South Africa. Imagine putting a picture of Tony Blair for the British government! I would like your input regarding a potential change, or alternatively making Mr Mandela less prominent (after all, would you put US and Soviet flags for an "nuclear weapons" stub?). He may be well recognized, but he isn't everything. -- Chris Lester talk 10:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Greetings. As a recent contributor to the survey on the names of Byzantine rulers at Talk:Constantine XI, you may be interested in the following. A mediation sought by Panairjdde resulted in the recommendation that "that proposal two from this page be implemented in the short term, until a consensus can be reached about proposal three". Accordingly, before resuming the editorial process, I am seeking feedback on whether option 2 or 3 of the former survey is more acceptable. Please state (or re-state) your opinion in the follow up survey on Talk:Constantine XI. Thank you for your time, Imladjov 14:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg | Hello Valentinian. Thank you for your support at request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation.

Hello. I had noticed that you gave warning to a user here: User talk:168.233.1.6. This person is again placing Greek categories on pages that are not to be classified as such.

Thanks for the info. I was just trying to correct my previous mistake, but i guess i just made another. I figured the admittedly poorly named stub {{ stp-stub }} could just be deleted, since I replaced all the Sao Tome and Principe articles with the new suggested one {{ saotomeprincipe-stub }}. I am working to populate all the stubs I created but in the future, I will most definitely follow the procedure. Thanks-- Thomas.macmillan 13:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, thanks! I need to do something about those sandboxes, they're just sitting there hogging space. :/ Btw, if you ever turn into a similar situation again, it might be better to use what the person is most famous for in brackets in the title - so Michael Lumb (cricketer), instead of Michael John Lumb. No harm done, though. :) Sam Vimes 13:18, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't respond to the troll on Carthage. He thrives on attention. I know its hard not to - I made that error last go around.
He's been stupid enough to 'admit what he's going to do where the admins can read it. Leave him alone until/unless he actually does it, then we can request protection and perm-banning of the user account. - Vedexent ( talk · contribs) 15:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I've been 'bugged' by my hot button issue of the default skin hiding categories from the user for around two months, and this related thing punched the button pretty much dead center as the same point has been nagging at me as is made by the originator. Seems to me a VP listing ought be made on both, as it were, by at least a mention 'synopsis' with link, and the common debate on kept this page. This seems preferable, as both VP:Technical and VP:policy are certainly apropo venues for a link posting, and I think we've all seen some of the bad effects of the current trend. This point made by the originator is sparse, but on point and imho, important. By keeping the discussion there, it can be similarly referenced on other BB's (Meta for one), and there are a few others. I'm much too focused on wikiEditing to keep up with all the discussion forums, so where should it go, should it be given a seperate venue (Yet another 'proposed guideline'!), or what? In sum, seems to me the 'Internal links' section with such a category template would solve both problems with minimal edit dislocation.
My confidence is high that a structural problem in presentation is present under current standards (editorial guidelines), but my crystal ball shattered some years back <g>, so I can't measure it's severity there and it's hard to gauge it's exact magnitude using anything but inductive reasoning. Personally, I rarely visit the nether regions of a web-page, and admittedly tend to attribute that to other 'oldsters' as well. I guess the key question is: If one is reading casually, what reason have they, 'our customer-readers' for looking lower down past the references? Advice? Best regards! // Fra nkB 15:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi V - actually Owain did create one of the templates, which is why I couched my comments in terms of "I know it's not all your fault, but...". I originally though he'd made two of them, but had to go offline before I got a chance to find out who'd done the others. I've softened my comments to him a little, and will have a small chat with Sloman. Grutness... wha? 08:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks so much Jesper. I didn't know I can request for help through the WikiProject on Commons until you told me. Could you please help halt the .svg drive over these two flags here on English Wikipedia, until the inaccurate .svg images on Commons are replaced? Thanks in advance. — Insta ntnood 13:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Moved (as you've noticed). In this case no actual admin action was really required (aside from whether the redirect should be deleted, which is more to do with bot-effort to replace the template uses). I decided against "speedying" in this case, especially as one of the things we get intermittent gripes about is eliminating redirects, so I felt that the full discussion period was preferable.

Thanks for voting! Hello Valentinian/Archive 2, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care. |

Hi. I have a question: You sadad that tens of thousands of stub articles are double-stubbed. Many thousands are also triple-stubbed - I would like to know, from what you make what estimate? (Let me point, so there be no misunderstood, that there is a diffrence between double-categories, and double-stubed) Egon 18:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, any article whith more than one stub can be of two kind:
Now I understand that '1' point isn't the problem. And for the secound, I think that it can be some Bot runing which will estimate the most often combination of categories, to propose them for a new stub. Kiping the example you thrown: If we Bot would find many entries like: {{Multi-stub|||Poland|politic|biography|mildle east}} it will propose to create the new stub for these categories. I think if such a Bot will run from the begining of existing of Multi-stub, then nombers of articles using this stub shouldn't that large. But, than again, i might be wrong. I know that then we talk about English Wikipedia it is much more articles to manage. Egon 19:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, thanks for the explanation. I thought about it as a template instead of a stub; that is where my mistake started. I am learning my way through TFD after AFDs, so I know nothing about SFDs. Hopefully you will not have to correct mistakes from me ever again :-) -- ReyBrujo 20:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Valentinian. First of all, thanks for the message. The information posted on Flags of the World is not very good, beginning with the bits of historical information that appear there. The Ecuadorian State flag has clear indications for the width of the three colors on the flag, but to the best of my knowledge there are no specific regulations regarding total width to length ratio. I believe this is also true for the Colombian State flag. What sets them apart is not the size of the flag (we all use a 2:3 ratio generally) but the national coat of arms, which is absent in the Colombian State flag. The Venezuelan flag is an entirely different matter, as the three horizontal bands have all the same width. On the other hand, I haven't heard anything about we having a "civilian flag", ever. Still, you have left me wondering about this ratio thing...I will look into this matter (I'm Ecuadorian, and I live in Ecuador) and will come back to you with a definitive answer as soon as possible. Best Regards. Andrés C. 04:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Valentinian, you have been moving George I of Halych earlier, at least twice, to location which is the one you desire, but you have done those moves without any discussion.

Hi! I think it was your recent edit that caused the template to show up as an item in the Category:People stubs. I do a bit of editing to keep that area clear by assigning more specific stubs.

Hi Thue
I noticed your redlink on Anders Fogh Rasmussen. I'm a bit uncertain in information about the collaboration policy should be included under Occupation of Denmark or its own article. Do you have any particular preferences? Regards. Valentinian (talk) 12:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for bothering but I felt I had to ask. You are from Denmanrk and you call to "support repressed people of Belarus." Have you ever been to Belarus or have you even met a single person from there? I've been there repeatedly, I happen to know over a dozen Belorussins and none of them feel repessed. I realize that's your opinion and you are free to express it, but I'm wondering whether you're basing it on the right sources. The Wikipedia article on Belarus doesn't, for instance, mention repression in Belarus as a fact. NapoleonIII 20:02, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi - I note your interest in this stub. However, by putting Nelson Mandela as the image, one feels that it is not representative of the entire political structure of South Africa. Imagine putting a picture of Tony Blair for the British government! I would like your input regarding a potential change, or alternatively making Mr Mandela less prominent (after all, would you put US and Soviet flags for an "nuclear weapons" stub?). He may be well recognized, but he isn't everything. -- Chris Lester talk 10:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Greetings. As a recent contributor to the survey on the names of Byzantine rulers at Talk:Constantine XI, you may be interested in the following. A mediation sought by Panairjdde resulted in the recommendation that "that proposal two from this page be implemented in the short term, until a consensus can be reached about proposal three". Accordingly, before resuming the editorial process, I am seeking feedback on whether option 2 or 3 of the former survey is more acceptable. Please state (or re-state) your opinion in the follow up survey on Talk:Constantine XI. Thank you for your time, Imladjov 14:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg | Hello Valentinian. Thank you for your support at request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. If you need any admin assistance, feel free to ask me, and naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out and I look forward to working with you in the future, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC) |
OK, I'm impressed. That was quick work! Grutness... wha? 11:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
WHAT IS YOUR STANCE ON THE CYPRUS ISSUE?
Thanks, the list is quite long and apparently difficult to handle :) // Halibu tt 06:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
My mistake. I didn't know how to make a line break at the time. Now I do. Actually, I never even finished moving all the quotes to Wikiquote but its on my to do list. ;) savidan (talk) (e@) 16:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I had noticed that you gave warning to a user here: User talk:168.233.1.6. This person is again placing Greek categories on pages that are not to be classified as such. One examle is the Artemis of Bana-Mighdall page. If you look under the history section you will see that I have deleted his edits with explaination given. He continues to re-submit his entries. FYI.

Thanks :) - CrazyRussian talk/ contribs/ email 15:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I was just trying to correct my previous mistake, but i guess i just made another. I figured the admittedly poorly named stub {{ stp-stub }} could just be deleted, since I replaced all the Sao Tome and Principe articles with the new suggested one {{ saotomeprincipe-stub }}. I am working to populate all the stubs I created but in the future, I will most definitely follow the procedure. Thanks-- Thomas.macmillan 13:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, thanks! I need to do something about those sandboxes, they're just sitting there hogging space. :/ Btw, if you ever turn into a similar situation again, it might be better to use what the person is most famous for in brackets in the title - so Michael Lumb (cricketer), instead of Michael John Lumb. No harm done, though. :) Sam Vimes 13:18, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't respond to the troll on Carthage. He thrives on attention. I know its hard not to - I made that error last go around.
He's been stupid enough to 'admit what he's going to do where the admins can read it. Leave him alone until/unless he actually does it, then we can request protection and perm-banning of the user account. - Vedexent ( talk · contribs) 15:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I've been 'bugged' by my hot button issue of the default skin hiding categories from the user for around two months, and this related thing punched the button pretty much dead center as the same point has been nagging at me as is made by the originator. Seems to me a VP listing ought be made on both, as it were, by at least a mention 'synopsis' with link, and the common debate on kept this page. This seems preferable, as both VP:Technical and VP:policy are certainly apropo venues for a link posting, and I think we've all seen some of the bad effects of the current trend. This point made by the originator is sparse, but on point and imho, important. By keeping the discussion there, it can be similarly referenced on other BB's (Meta for one), and there are a few others. I'm much too focused on wikiEditing to keep up with all the discussion forums, so where should it go, should it be given a seperate venue (Yet another 'proposed guideline'!), or what? In sum, seems to me the 'Internal links' section with such a category template would solve both problems with minimal edit dislocation.
My confidence is high that a structural problem in presentation is present under current standards (editorial guidelines), but my crystal ball shattered some years back <g>, so I can't measure it's severity there and it's hard to gauge it's exact magnitude using anything but inductive reasoning. Personally, I rarely visit the nether regions of a web-page, and admittedly tend to attribute that to other 'oldsters' as well. I guess the key question is: If one is reading casually, what reason have they, 'our customer-readers' for looking lower down past the references? Advice? Best regards! // Fra nkB 15:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Did you know...
Hey...guess what? I finally got around to adding in the chorus-y sections. See to listen! -- M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 ( T | C | @) 01:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
No problem, it was a nice article and an interesting fact for using on DYK, keep them coming. And thanks for fixing the typo on my DYK page, I dont mind at all, cheers. -- Cactus.man ✍ 06:38, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi V - actually Owain did create one of the templates, which is why I couched my comments in terms of "I know it's not all your fault, but...". I originally though he'd made two of them, but had to go offline before I got a chance to find out who'd done the others. I've softened my comments to him a little, and will have a small chat with Sloman. Grutness... wha? 08:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks so much Jesper. I didn't know I can request for help through the WikiProject on Commons until you told me. Could you please help halt the .svg drive over these two flags here on English Wikipedia, until the inaccurate .svg images on Commons are replaced? Thanks in advance. — Insta ntnood 13:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Moved (as you've noticed). In this case no actual admin action was really required (aside from whether the redirect should be deleted, which is more to do with bot-effort to replace the template uses). I decided against "speedying" in this case, especially as one of the things we get intermittent gripes about is eliminating redirects, so I felt that the full discussion period was preferable.

Thanks for voting! Hello Valentinian/Archive 2, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care. |

Hi. I have a question: You sadad that tens of thousands of stub articles are double-stubbed. Many thousands are also triple-stubbed - I would like to know, from what you make what estimate? (Let me point, so there be no misunderstood, that there is a diffrence between double-categories, and double-stubed) Egon 18:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, any article whith more than one stub can be of two kind:
Now I understand that '1' point isn't the problem. And for the secound, I think that it can be some Bot runing which will estimate the most often combination of categories, to propose them for a new stub. Kiping the example you thrown: If we Bot would find many entries like: {{Multi-stub|||Poland|politic|biography|mildle east}} it will propose to create the new stub for these categories. I think if such a Bot will run from the begining of existing of Multi-stub, then nombers of articles using this stub shouldn't that large. But, than again, i might be wrong. I know that then we talk about English Wikipedia it is much more articles to manage. Egon 19:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, thanks for the explanation. I thought about it as a template instead of a stub; that is where my mistake started. I am learning my way through TFD after AFDs, so I know nothing about SFDs. Hopefully you will not have to correct mistakes from me ever again :-) -- ReyBrujo 20:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
You voted for Fourteen Points, this week's Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured- standard article. - Davodd 23:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Seeing that the Sierra Leone stub is well received, should i go about creating it and adding it to the ones I've found?-- Thomas.macmillan 03:20, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Valentinian. First of all, thanks for the message. The information posted on Flags of the World is not very good, beginning with the bits of historical information that appear there. The Ecuadorian State flag has clear indications for the width of the three colors on the flag, but to the best of my knowledge there are no specific regulations regarding total width to length ratio. I believe this is also true for the Colombian State flag. What sets them apart is not the size of the flag (we all use a 2:3 ratio generally) but the national coat of arms, which is absent in the Colombian State flag. The Venezuelan flag is an entirely different matter, as the three horizontal bands have all the same width. On the other hand, I haven't heard anything about we having a "civilian flag", ever. Still, you have left me wondering about this ratio thing...I will look into this matter (I'm Ecuadorian, and I live in Ecuador) and will come back to you with a definitive answer as soon as possible. Best Regards. Andrés C. 04:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Valentinian, you have been moving George I of Halych earlier, at least twice, to location which is the one you desire, but you have done those moves without any discussion. You are not entitled to claim the location you chose anuy better than location chosen by others. Please cease from sending overreacting warnings. Maed 13:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi! User_talk:Xoloz#Small_World Take a peek and suggest ways and means if you would. Thanks // Fra nkB 20:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for help at the national anthems template. I've begun breaking it into smaller ones by continent/geographic region as well, as you may have noticed. Badagnani 13:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. There is a move request for several Palaeologus/Palaiologos dynasty emperors at Talk:List of Byzantine Emperors. I tought you might be interested in.-- Panairjdde 22:16, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
If I understand it correctly, it is time to create the stubs for the countries you listed, such as Swaziland and Niger? Or should we continue waiting?-- Thomas.macmillan 03:52, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed that you actually have done a couple of updates to this - thank you very much, it's appreciated. Now that page really is almost ready to go "live"... TheGrappler 15:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah commons is fine with me. So is the licensing. (Sorry for being a while about the reply, I was on holiday) - Рэд хот 19:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
On Talk:List of Byzantine Emperors I've suggested a limited moratorium because I don't think the current discussion is leading to, or can lead to, consensus. I hope you'll vote, for or against! Best wishes Andrew Dalby 13:17, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I think it was your recent edit that caused the template to show up as an item in the Category:People stubs. I do a bit of editing to keep that area clear by assigning more specific stubs. Do you want to take a look at it? I would rv. to an older version but I'm sure your edit was intended to do something of which i'm not aware. Thanks and "cheers!". Stormbay 21:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Valentinian I wish to thank you for your eloquent contributions. All the best. Dr.K. 16:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Yep, I'm aware of that page. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. (PS -- As I add this I'm seeing a note from the system that your Talk page is 52 Kb in size. Might be time to archive again.) -- llywrch 19:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
