Hi Carlstak, I've left a reply to your message on my talk page -- Marek. 69 talk 01:40, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know I ran into you on the James Dean page, as I was making my very first edit there. In turn you led me to the great, nice and welcoming Marek. Since you and I seem to be in the same place - discovering Wiki editing, etc, I just wanted to welcome you and send my thoughts your way. Good luck and have fun! Maybe I'll run into you again. However (and obviously) I'm not the to go to for many answers yet lol. Just extending my warm wishes. Jill333 ( talk) 22:44, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

This is your personal opinion. You do not know the standards of Wikipedia. This can be seen on your opinions and very short internship at Wikipedia. Subtropical-man ( talk) 17:40, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
How long I've been editing at Wikipedia is immaterial to whether or not my opinion is correct, and you haven't answered my question. How can you show that Barcelona is the seventh most important fashion capital in the world? What is your source for this dubious information? Your English most definitely needs improvement, as shown here: "...on your opinions". Carlstak ( talk) 17:50, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Editors who contribute text to English Wikipedia should learn to write it correctly. Carlstak ( talk) 04:27, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Carlstak,
First of all, I have to congratulate you because of all the great job you're doing in the Valencia article: you're doing something that should have been done ages ago! However, there's a small problem with what you're doing, and it's that you haven't added a single reference. As far as I know, Wikipedia is based on the principle of verifiability, so all the information which can be challenged should be referenced (see Wikipedia:Verifiability). -- Erraticus ( talk) 22:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Ok, Carlstack, all right: my english is really very bad. As I'm going to put on the discussion the sources, we have time to make all the corrections, and it's true that someone is going to write (or correct them), because my english is awful. My best salutations, Jorge alo ( talk) 15:00, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
One thing I forgot: the article is already good, but there are some (only a few) errors and we can put it even better (and joining all the references needed). Jorge alo ( talk) 15:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I agree interely with you: the great problem it's really my english (very bad). But there are also some historic nuances that are a little difficult for me to explain. for example, Leonor Teles, by the Treaty, could not proclaim them, it was necessary a proclamation by the naturals (all people that was propietary), and who said the treaty was unfair was Juan I of Castile and a part of his counselors (I think I will arrived to that passage today, maybe). But I think that with the sources and the translations, in the end all will be clear. I'm going to work on this maybe two months, or more, and I not only agree with you on not making changes before talking about it, but I even ask you to do them, after we talked, because of my bad english (I can read more or less easy, with the diccionary help, but I'm a danger on writing. Jorge alo ( talk) 16:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Ok, let's work. Don't bodher with the time on answering, we have all the time on the world (I confess I have a problem with time: for me it seems that "thing" don't exist). It's enough that you read what I'm puting on the discussion page, and you can make the improvements without saying nothing to me, because as I'm going only little by little, step after step, I can easilly follow the corrections and improvements you will make on the text. Abraço, Jorge alo ( talk) 17:26, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
@Carlstak, there are two great errors to correct on the borders of sucession, in the end. The first, we can't separate León From Castile because, in that time, it was only a Crown. So, it´s a great mistake to say the he was a) King of Castile and B) King of León. He was King of Castile and of Leon. This article is the only one that has such border after the preceded unification of the two Crowns. Second, it's true that even João das Regras, on Cortes of Coimbra, 1385, classified John I of Castile as a pretender and as one of the possible heirs of the portuguese Crown. So, no doubt he was a recognized pretender, but, first, I think it's inedit research to say that a pretension is as tittle, and, second, a pretender can't be preceded and succeded by Kings. Logically: or he was a King preceded and succeded by kings or he was a pretender succeded and preceded by pretenders on a specific pretension. As we say in my country, we can't make the addition of oranges with apples. So, I propose the quick correction of these borders. Abraço, Jorge alo ( talk) 15:01, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Dear WikiProject Spain member,
There is currently a proposal to ban articles concerning a large area of southern Andalusia from appearing on the Main Page of Wikipedia in the Did you know? section. This would affect a significant number of articles within the scope of WikiProject Spain. If you have a view on this proposal, please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs#Proposal for one-year moratorium on Gibraltarpedia DYKs. In addition, you may have a view on an alternative proposal to lift restrictions on Gibraltar-related articles on DYK - please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs#Proposal for lifting the restrictions on Gibraltar-related DYKs.

Hi. Just to give you a heads up, I reverted this edit of yours. It appeared to only be dash format changes, which doesn't seem a helpful change (and I hope your other edits aren't similar as far as only changing dash formats) Personally I disagree that any script should change the dash format at all, but changes that appear to *only* make dash format changes are really pointless - they appear exactly the same to readers in HTML anyway. So the format should be up to editors of the page. It's much easier to tell the difference between an n-dash and an em-dash in the – forms, IMHO, and if it doesn't matter to readers, what's the point of changing it? Clearly the original editor preferred it that way...
It's a very minor issue of course, so nothing too big a deal, just a pet peeve of mine that so many automated scripts consider it an improvement to change the dash format for no reason... SnowFire ( talk) 04:13, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak. I should be the last guy to comment about an article on a user's talkpage. I find such visits unnecessary and perhaps annoying. But I felt that I should comment here to let you know that you make some very good points with which I agree completely. However I think that some comments regarding the other editors should not be given so much emphasis because they detract from the other excellent points which you are making. This is not meant as criticism but given that I support your points I think the discussion could be helped if we stayed focused on the article issues. Sorry for the trouble. Best regards.

Dear Carlstak,
I just wanted to say I am happy we can work together in a helpful and friendly manner.

Thanks for your edits... I am going to revert the change from normal to "curly" x, in line with the WP IPA guide for German. Note that Wiktionary is not a "Reliable Source" in the official sense, because it is no more reliable than WP (so a sly insert of any nonsense into both would mean they were preserved for ever!) But please see, and if possible comment on my earlier comment about this at talk:Johann Sebastian Bach#Pronunciation footnote for name.

Wikipedia seems to have an inconsistent policy on date ranges. The clearest policy is MOS:DATERANGE which says:
but this conflicts with other advice (e.g. I can't find it now, but I'm sure I've seen 1881–1892 recommended when expressing someone's lifespan or a series of football seasons).
As for defence vs defense at Belém Tower, I'm well aware that defence is the British spelling (I'm British myself) but I've been editing a few articles on Lisbon subjects today and most of then either use a mixture of American and British spellings and phrases, or wholly American, so I was trying to follow MOS:RETAIN. Unlike other Lisbon articles, Belém Tower does, however, seem to use mainly British spellings (despite a few Americanisms like "protested the site's degradation"), so defence is perhaps better here. WP:ENGVAR is a bit of a minefield when there are no "strong national ties" to the topic; even though my preferred style is British, I'd rather an article was written consistently in US English rather than a mixture of the two.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from St. Augustine, Florida into History of St. Augustine, Florida. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{ copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Hi Carlstak, re: this, in case my edit summary wasn't great, I totally get why you reverted--good watchdogging. I was concerned as well, but I figured out that editor Hike removed the convert template because the parameter he's using automatically converts metric to imperial, so {{ convert}} wasn't necessary, and the geo coordinates that he removed were 00s, so they're not particularly useful. Hope that helps. Regards, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 18:40, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Carlstak,
I never revert edits, however my edit/reference comes from britishlistedbuildings.co.uk, which is a well respected online listing of British Listed Buildings, and they have used as a source Cadw. It states that "In the mid C19 the Hall was occupied by the eminent Professor of History, E A Freeman". Therefore my edit "He lived in Llanrumney Hall, Cardiff in the mid 19th century" was well referenced, while "After some changes of residence, Freeman bought a house called "Somerleaze", near Wells, Somerset, and settled there in 1860" has no references at all.

People like Hervey de Glanvill were Normans aka "Anglo-Normans" aka "Norman French". Remember 1066? Richard II (1377-1399) was the first King of England since William who was fluent in English (it probably still wasn't his first language though). To refer to Norman crusading knights who spoke Old French and who called themselves "Franks" as "Englishmen" is - yes - an anachronism. ZinedineZidane98 ( talk) 18:28, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

EastFloridaHistorian, You are trying to impose a revisionist view of the history of Florida not supported by the peer-reviewed academic literature on the subject, as indicated by some of your edit summaries. For example, your summary, "Tried to remove discriminatory rhetoric against Native Floridians. FYI: It's good to be sensitive and respect other people's cultures", ignores the Spanish natives of Florida, the Floridanos, many of whom were members of families that had been in Florida for hundreds of years before the events of the so-called "Patriot War", and were most certainly "native Floridians". Being "an 8th generation Floridian" has no bearing on the correctness of your edits to the content of this article. Information added can be challenged, as you did concerning the year of Harris's killing, and must be supported, as per WP policy, by reliable sources. The neutral point of view "stuff" is also WP policy, not a personal preference. We are not here to "fight" over what content is included in the article. That is what the article talk page is for. Carlstak ( talk) 15:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi. I do not care if a text I reverted into António de Oliveira Salazar article stays or not, so I will not re-revert (also I rather discuss than revert multiple times). But I ask you not to remove the exact same text for two contradictory reasons, it confuses editing. You removed it first as unsourced and now for following the source too closely, thus a copyright violation. As I said, I don't care if the text stays or not, and the second reason maybe correct. So I simply ask you to be careful when providing reasons; no problem, it happens, certainly. - Nabla ( talk) 21:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed your recent cleanups and improvements to the article on Nathan Bedford Forrest, and as you commented there's been "quite a show" going on there. I've stumbled into the fray as a result of a WP:3O request, but it is way more complicated than a two-editor dispute over content. I suspect the article has a POV problem, but I do not have the topic-knowledge necessary to assess that properly. There's probably also an article ownership issue. Several editors (most recently Deisenbe who called me in) have raised issues on the Talk page, only to be firmly told that "There is no dispute". Which kind of suggests there is one. I'd like to get the article properly reviewed for NPOV -- I'm not asking you to do that yourself (unless you'd like to ) but if you support the idea, would you consider keeping an eye on the article to see if we can keep a POV-check tag in place without it getting reverted?

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Olá. A Wikimedia Portugal é uma associação portuguesa sem fins lucrativos, fundada em 2009, reconhecida pela Wikimedia Foundation como "chapter" de Portugal. A nossa missão é, em geral, contribuir para a disseminação generalizada do saber e da cultura, através do incentivo à recolha e criação de conteúdos isentos de restrições de utilização, modificação e distribuição, e da difusão dos mesmos; e em particular, promover e apoiar os projetos da Wikimedia Foundation, entre os quais a Wikipédia, com ênfase para os projetos nas línguas faladas em Portugal, o português e o mirandês.
Gostaríamos de contar com o apoio de (e reciprocamente apoiar) todos os voluntários naturais, residentes ou simplesmente interessados em Portugal. Embora fundada em 2009, a associação teve um largo período de inatividade, que estamos agora a ultrapassar. Vimos por isso convidá-lo, caso nisso tenha interesse, a inscrever-se como associado da associação, demonstrar apoio à existência de um "chapter" em Portugal, e a envolver-se em atividades futuras inscrevendo-se na lista de distribuição de email. Recentemente, a Comissão de Afiliações da Wikimedia suspendeu o apoio à Wikimedia Portugal, pendente, entre outras coisas, do apoio da comunidade de editores portugueses. [9]
Agradecemos desde já!
Hi! Wikimedia Portugal is the Portuguese chapter of Wikimedia, founded in 2009 and recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation. Our mission is to contribute to the general dissemination of knowledge and culture through the incentive to the collection and creation of content without restrictions on use, modification and distribution, and promote their difusion; we promote and support the Wikimedia Foundation projects, among which Wikipedia, with emphasis on projects in Portuguese and Mirandese.
We would like however to count on the support of (and in turn ourselves support) all volunteers that are citizens, resident, or simply interested in Portugal. Despite being founded in 2009, the chapter has gone through a long period of inactivity that we are trying to overcome. We have sent you this message to invite you, if you are interested, to enroll as associate to the chapter, demonstrate your support to the existence of a chapter in Portugal, and get involved in the discussion of future activities by registering in the mailing list. Recentely, the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee suspended support to Wikimedia Portugal pending, among other things, the support from the community of portuguese editors.

Carlstak, you are absolutely right that I have made some serious mistakes which you have corrected me on, and I’m very grateful. And that my credentials are largely (not completely) irrelevant. And that I tend to shoot my moouth off about things and get riled up, sometimes unnecessariliy.
Here is where I am at. If you look at my most longest recent article, America Is Hard to See (play), you’ll see I cite all sorts of sources. Or Angola, Florida. Or Texas Confederate Museum. All of which are entirely my work.
Actually I’ve been criticized in a review for using too much documentation (in my book _A Study of “Don Quixote”,_ in Spanish _La interpretación cervantina del “Quijote”_). I could dig out the reference.
My problem is that I have a lot of knowledge but not much ability to check sources on the sort of topic like Reconquista. I live in a retirement community and my resources are limited to the Palm Beach County Public Library and whatever electronic resources I can access. I have the WP Ebsco access and have applied for others. I get some electronic resources through the public library. Interlibrary loan can get me an occasional book or article, I’m using one right now (The Maroons of Prospect Bluff and Their Quest for Freedom in the Atlantic World, isbn 9780813044544). That can take weeks and the limit is five active requests at one time. The local universitty libraries, Florida Atlantic University and Lynn University, don’t have much of what I need, and I cannot borrow things without paying. In fact the closest library where I would have the resources I need is at Florida State, where I used to teach, and that’s a 10 hour drive. The University of Miami (over an hour) and University of Florida (5-6 hours) libraries would help some but not totally. And I’ll admit that it’s a lot of work, I’ve already done tons of it, I’m retired, and I do what I feel like. I’ve paid my dues.
Something like Reconquista I care passionately about. It’s a vitally important article, as I see it. It has a lot of things wrong with it, as I see it. So rather than do nothing, I make undocumented edits and people like you hopefully catch the mistakes. Actually I make undocumented edits and original research all over the place, most of it never challenged. Here’s an example: Miguel de Cervantes. I was the editor for 8 years of the journal of the Cervantes Society of America, which shows that I must know quite a bit about Cervantes, but not that I’m infallible or that my memory is perfect. I believe Cervantes was an accountant (not a dignified profession then) for part of his life. He worked as a purchasing agent and tax collector and had to keep accounts. He was friends with two bankers. In his works there are a lot of figures and computations. Cervantes knew multiplication which was not a common skill then or taught in school (you had to learn it from a book). There is no published source that I can cite to support my contention that he was an accountant. I could write one, and probably get it published, but that is a lot of work and it would be read by maybe 20 people. If I just go ahead and make the edit to the Cervantes article, I reach a much larger audience of people with much less effort. I am quite convinced that I am doing much more good than harm. But I’m grateful for any errors you catch. deisenbe ( talk) 11:52, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
My apologies, my attempt to merge after an edit conflict did not work correctly. If I could impose on you: I’m writing on a pad, and I am not competent with it yet. If I try to fix it, it’ll likely get worse. Could you put your section back in for me? Qwirkle ( talk) 14:53, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Gullah.
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at
User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at

I appreciate the removal of my edit to the article. I am new to the process and agree that the factoid does not belong in the intro. The problem remains that the unsourced statement that he was declared by JPII to be patron saint of the internet remains and is used a source elsewhere on the internet. I do have references for it not being declared prior to JPII death. Perhaps a subheading on the article under "legacy" discussing the Internet hoax?

Let's talk about the etymology of Hidalgo.
This argument has bothered me for years, more than the existence of WP.I am aware that the popular notion is that the word is a contractionof hijo de algo, and that this ideation is reflected in the likes of Encylopaedia Brittanica, but I have had issues with Brittanica as it is politically (religiously, ideologically motived),just like many editors on WP.
As you know hijo de algo means son of something, and the turn of phrase is nonsense in both Spanish and English translation, and that is not "original research". Son of something is stating that a man is son of an object. Others are aware of the nonsense and have tried to assert that it means son of somebody. Then along comes others who rationalize and obfuscate claiming that something means "riches".
The only problem with hijo del Godo. Is the "del",we need to discover where "al" enters into the etymology, and I hold that here we have an influence that shows up in the Spanish language in many forms.. Arabic. Al is Arabic for "of" or "of the", You see that in Arabic names e. Muhammad al Tikriti. In other words hijo de al godo, a mixed language phrase, which is not uncommon in the Spanish language see Algeciras, and that is one case. With your background and knowledge I am sure that you can find many other mixed Arabic and Spanish words and phrases.
OK I can see where someone could claim that this statement is "orginal research" But we really don't have much to explain the etymology of hidalgo as son of something insults and assaults reason and language. Oldperson ( talk) 19:16, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

He has erased all the content of the Lead and is copying all the content of the article “Genetic history of the Iberian Peninsula” and pasting it in this article.

Hi User talk:Carlstak, your zealous eye for detail is appreciated. However, I suggest you moderate your rants- the comma may not be used in the American variant of English as it is in England but that doesn’t make it an error. Also, the Suebians were never in Catalonia- the Franks were. I added that very useful piece information which you had removed.

Good morning Carlstak, first of all I hope you will accept my apology for my mistakes in editing, and for your work in correcting my writing errors in English. It was certainly a bad job and I regret it. I agree with what you've written: it's not our place to make value judgements that violate neutral-point-of-view, because I myself have corrected edits of other users who had made the same mistake, I certainly didn't have a good day.
I'll be more careful in the future.-- REKKWINT ( talk) 12:48, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, 90% of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated!

Hi Carlstak, you have greatly improved my editing in Battle of Covadonga, and I really appreciate that. I feel bad about giving you a lot of work again. Sorry Carlstak.
Finally just a comment, my link was to a PDF with an index, this is true, but the PDF has 11 pages, and page number 8 corresponds to the page that interests us which is number 5 of the document written in the newspaper El Museo Universal by F. Navarro Villoslada. This is visible at least with Acrobat Reader in Windows, wich it displays a column on the left with thumbnails of each page.

This edit [11] seems to have upset you, so perhaps a quick explanation should be forthcoming.
The edit prior to yours added unreferenced material, and your subsequent followup edit slightly modified that unreferenced material. Your edit had to be reverted before the previous edit could be dealt with. Hopefully you understand. SolarFlash Discussion 18:45, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
As far as I am aware you use a possessive to show the relationship or (chain of) from the name, "Hawkins financial reforms of the Navy upset many who had vested interests." Why would you employ a possessive on that sentence? The sentence is describing an action, not a relationship. So I am confused by the English here, it seems different to what I was taught.

Hi Carlstack, thank you for your good advice. It's incredible forty five editions for a ridiculous number of images. I've had a lot of work but I can't stand vandalism. You know I have been about to employ the following method: a slight modification in thr first vandalic edition and with this we managed to undo all the subsequent changes, but I have been careful, when seeing intermediate editions made by you, this ruled out that option. I am sure he has made forty-five editions believing that he would make the reversal as difficult as possible. He may be a vandal but he knows the WP edition, he has even made links, and modified some code text.
Thank you for your good advice, and also for your spelling corrections when I make a not quite correct edition. You show a lot of patience,and a lot of interest in improving WP by keeping an "encyclopedic spirit" at all times, but one thing is certain, in the end there are some good editions that add new content that did not appear in the various articles in which we have both intervened

I was wondering if you had checked the edits made to Bernardo de Gálvez such as [13] [14] and the number of other edits by the same editor?
Do these edits seem reasonable? Are they supported by sources?
The reason for asking is that the editor in question puts out a large number of edits, often on relatively unrelated subjects, and with very short time intervals between edits. This does not seem to fit with using sources before making changes. Some edits have value (correcting clear errors) but many appear questionable. These characteristics are similar to those of User:Snagemit. Hence the concern. As I am not familiar with the subject matter of this article, it seems sensible to ask an editor who does know the subject.

So I did, but then there came a problem with "verifying claims because of a language barrier".

From the anon editor that got nervous about anti-semitism:
Just wanted to thank you for letting the final revision on doo-wop stand. I know you have done a lot of research on this part of history for music you're passionate about. I hope you can kind of see where I was coming from an audience looking at these articles for the first time. It wasn't a question of whether each individual piece was factually correct, but it's been said that propaganda is as much about emphasis as content. The narrative of "jews in control" and being especially greedy is super dangerous.
I may have overreacted -- especially by removing the entire sections as a first edit for an issue I could have brought to the talk page. I stayed anonymous because it can be genuinely risky engaging in some of these conversations when you don't yet know who you are engaging with. That said, I can see how it could look like idiotic vandalism.
Thank you for your work -- I'll stop messing with these pages. I hope at some point you'll be willing to take a read-through of what you wrote and ask how a layperson would engage with that content (say, someone who hasn't read a ton of work by Jewish and Black Authors and is looking to confirm biases they might hold) and ask yourself about the impact of those words on the audience reading them.
But if you don't, that's fine too. It's clear by now how much work you've put in and it's not fair to continue making you feel as if you're being accused of doing that work poorly or in bad faith. Thanks for all the time you volunteer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.125.197 ( talk) 18:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak, did you read my last update to the edit I undid? Because I never mentioned anything of this sort-"their potential to treat drug dependence, anxiety or mood disorders." I only updated the information, under research, to only include the types of expiremental research being done on animals. As it is research, and did not include anything about how it relates to medicine or therapy. Simply, unbias, real research, under research. How does this violate anything?

Dear Carlstak, I have started an RfC on the article Goths that may be of interest to you, see Talk:Goths#RfC.-- Berig ( talk) 21:01, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Two years ago, we held an RfC to decide if the Estado Novo regime should be considered Fascist or not, no consensus was reached, so it was decided that the status quo would be maintained, and the status quo was that it was indeed a Fascist regime:
This also means of course that Salzar should be considered a Fascist ruler.
But despite this, the user JPratas has continued to make edits that go against what was decided and imposing his POV on many pages, including this one, a few months ago he was even threatened with being blocked if he continued to do this on the Fascism in Europe page, see the last comments on the section:
So as you can see, I'm not the one disrepecting WP:BRD, JPratas is, he is the one that is going against what was decided. -- 201.20.66.11 ( talk) 04:45, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

I wanted to suggest adding a page on Juan Jose Eligio de la Puente y Regidor.
He was a prominent St Augustinian during the transition of control from Spain to the British in the 1760s. He is credited with the creation of the map detailing St Augustine's fort and city as it was in 1763.
He is the great-grandson of Spanish Florida Governor Juan de Ayala y Escobar. (Through Ayala's daughter Francisca).
Information regarding him can be found here: [1]
Some additional information can be found in the History of Cuban Families volume 5 page 90 (99 of the pdf): [2]
Also, on page 87 (96 of pdf) there is information regarding Jose Eligio de la Puente y Castillejo, who marries Francisca de Ayala y Diaz-Mexia. Their son Antonio is Juan Jose's father.
The map he created: [3]
Actually, after finding this link...I just noticed you posted it...but you have his name misspelled. It is Eligio, not Elixio. Also, should be Jose not Joseph.
Also, it is misspelled in the article/caption of the map here as well: [4] When abbreviating his name, it should be Eligio de la Puente, not Puente by itself.
Disclosure: I have conflict of interest, as I am a descendant of Juan Jose Eligio de la Puente y Regidor. Thus, I would prefer to have someone without a COI fix the spelling and if possible, create a page for him.
Thanks

Hello Carlstak, and thanks for your contributions to the encyclopedia. I noticed that this edit of yours to Confederate States of America removed sourced content and reinstated a recent change to the wording of the lead of the article regarding terminology related to slavery in the American South while a discussion was already going on about this wording change at the Talk page. This started when another editor boldly inserted new wording in the lead and was reverted; this prompted creation of this discussion at the Talk page.

Hi there. I had some fun last month putting infoboxes on the early administrators of New Spain and ran into a lot of basic questions about the proper terminology and conceptualization of the era, as would be appropriate for infoboxes and list articles. My full plea for help was posted in Wikiproject Military history and got no replies, so if you didn't see it before I wanted to ask directly if you could lend any insight? To me, the officeholder infobox conveys a sense of important authority, and in my opinion it should only definitively state what the official documented positions of the Cortés crew were. Otherwise, if they really were just a bunch of idiots who unofficially took the reins whenever someone went on campaign or on trial, a different kind of presentation might be necessary. I'd appreciate any thoughts and recommendations you have. Thanks! SamuelRiv ( talk) 18:35, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for your contributions to Recession; the actual article is indeed what needs the most attention. Regarding your recent comments on the talk page, I would suggest that if you don't read someone's thoughtful reply to your comment, it would be less demoralizing for the other editor, and honestly a bit less rude to not say anything at all than to say you didn't read it because it was too long, even if that's the honest truth. And it's certainly more civil to be silent than to call a comment that you didn't read "boring". Thanks, Beland ( talk) 17:17, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Your more recent comments railing against "Brandonites" and saying "who of course will ignore it and say it's fake" goes very much against the Wikipedia guidelines that require us to assume good faith, and not to make Wikipedia an ideological battleground. This sort of rhetoric does nothing to make a better article, helps create an impression that Wikipedia is politically biased, are a turn off to editors who both agree and disagree with you, and reduce the changes that other editors will be willing to cooperate with you in the future. -- Beland ( talk) 22:59, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Come on, @Carlstak, we are editors here and we should be trying to to be collaborative. Look, I empathize and relate with you, truly, not only as a fellow editor that shares some of the same viewpoints but also because I am a Cherokee descendent. Many years ago I actually walked much of the route that my direct ancestors walked as part of the last group to leave Cherokee territory in 1836. It's hard to separate our emotions from how we edit, especially when its about polarizing issues like this which directly impacted our lives but we have to. @Sandy is right and I think it's very fair that they are trying to communicate with you here and not taking this further which they could do. It's best to take a step back and listen to them. This is not the hill you are going to die on. Please. The article will be reviewed once all disputes are settled. If a solution can not be found then it may get delisted but that's a call the community will make at that time. So please stop editing for now and instead engage in discussion. -- ARose Wolf 16:10, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Not sure why you would remove my edits because the people I mentioned were still living. Of the five that I mentioned (other than Jan's first wife whose family name I corrected) I know definitely that one is deceased (Bonnie Whaley). I have no idea about the three males although during the past few years I have tried to find them using various identity search tools and it's likely that at least one of them is still living. Kathi Weller (now Kathryn Weller-Renfrow) is still living in Northern California. As far as being a 'reliable' source my contributions aren't any less reliable than other unattributed information about Jan's forbears which I assume may've have come from his daughter. The reason I know these things is that Jan and I roomed together while both attending Ventura J.C. The last time I saw him was in the spring of 1965 and he was with Bonnie and I was visiting a girlfriend in Ventura. Jan also had a cousin from Bakersfield, Greg Pace, who I knew from high school and had relocated to Ventura with his folks. Pretty sure that Jan was living with the Paces when I first met him. My former girlfriend knew Bonnie Poorman from Camarillo HS and kept up with her for a while but after Jan's acting career began to take off they lost contact generally. I met Jan's mom once when she and a friend of hers came down to Ventura and they took us out to eat a local Mexican restaurant. It's possible I met his dad but not sure but I have an image of him so I may've seen a picture. Horace Jacoby ( talk) 18:50, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak, thank you so much for getting into the nitty gritty of the Jackson article in the edits now. Except for just micro-changing, I'm done with the biography for now. I'm wrapping trying to draft the last two parts of legacy to meet the concerns of talk. But I know the article is still messy and needs cleaning. Please don't hesitate to make larger changes if you need to. (I don't think you need the encouragement- but given the issues with editing a while back, one never knows.) I've also asked another editor, John, to jump in too. He was a delight to work with when we were working on the Joan of Arc article and has a great eye for catching and cleaning poor writing, too.
Once I'm done with legacy, I think the lead needs to be tackled. Most of it seems okay as is, though it could use a bit of trimming. But that first paragraph is may require care. I think where will be interesting. Once its ready to be tackled, think all invested parties will have to pitch in on talk. I'm looking forward to seeing a compromise that most of us can agree to forged in five sentences or so.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you are doing, and am glad you hanging around and keeping your eye on my edits of this article. Wtfiv ( talk) 23:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your correction. I suggest you to correct the full article using your English references and tge same enthusiasm, because the lack of Historic accuracy in pro of nationalist and ethnocentrist perspectives are damaging the information of this population in the English version.

King of the Hill is in the naturalistic style, meaning it's as realistic as possible. In early episode ' The son that got away' a cave system is described. In a late episode in the series (Harlottown) stone formations (the tea Kettler) are described. In BOTH cases the topography plays a central role in the episode. WHERE else in Texas but the HILL Country could the stone formations described in King of the HILL be found - reallistically? 186.12.22.94 ( talk) 22:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

I saw this edit where you added a ping to a user, and just wanted to let you know that they likely will not get a ping for it. For whatever reason if you edit a comment after the fact and add a ping, it will not actually ping the editor; it must be a comment that has a signature added via four tildes (~~~~) in order for it to ping correctly (per WP:MENTION). It's weird and frankly unintuitive, but I just wanted to let you know that the ping won't work when added to an existing comment. - Aoidh ( talk) 02:22, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey Carlstak, I was looking at the Long hot summer of 1967 page today and saw your edit summary stating that the table of riots was removed for coatrack that added material longer than the page before my edit. If it was for " Compilations of Something Very Bad", then I'll have to disagree with your statement because it had a reliable news source and included riots started by both whites and blacks, so I'd like to know exactly why you thought it was coatrack and how it could be fixed.

Hello, and thanks for the edits that you just made to the Francis Drake page—I had flagged it myself but you beat me to it. I laughed out loud at your comment, since it has been exhausting to just get the community of Drake editors to acknowledge that Drake's role in the slave trade is notable at all. That said, a new consensus does seem to be emerging, and hopefully the result of that long and frustrating discussion will be treatment of Drake's role in the early slave trade that is less susceptible to endless edit wars. Ynizcw ( talk) 01:37, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
I apparently incorrectly attributed the mess of dates in the slaving section of Francis Drake to you, and I wanted to apologize for my mistake. I'm sorry for that. In checking the history, I must have misread who did what. It's all gotten a bit hard to follow.
Ynizcw and I have been working hard to achieve a consensus/compromise that will not get reverted every other day. It has been exceedingly tedious, but is showing some progress. I am leaving it to him to act on our latest discussion.
I don't know whose edits you "watch" - which seems a bit like "hounding" [17] imo - but I do know that the section following slaving lacks sufficient sourcing. It would be great if you could help fix that. Thank you for your input to the article and again, sorry for the mistake. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 19:21, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak. I did some good faith changes in the editing of these total speculative claims about Cabrilho being Jew. This has nothing to do with private research, but with basic common sense. If anyone who read both books can point me to a single document, single line of evidence, I will stop saying that is not History anymore. It seems though people do not read the books and just quote anything. I read both books and this Jewish claim is total bogus - thus not providing valuable information to Wikipedia. If anyone can just dump here any source, without a certain quality criteria...I can imagine, if being consistent, that Wikipedia page about Columbus must list all the putative nationalities too many speculators ascribe to him, from Polish, to Portuguese, to Hungarian, Catalan, etc, Columbus was Genoese as anyone who reads books and cares for solid evidence knows, despite a sea of rubbish and speculation out there. What worries me is to see how easy it is to have anyone just add some low quality sources into a Wikipedia article, when one of the principles is also that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and in this case there is none, zero evidence...thus surely not extraordinary...I am puzzled by this way of working but if that is how Wikipedia works...I drop the towel and let people add all kinds of junk.

Hiya, I mean all that I am saying here in the nicest possible way, so if some of it sounds sarcastic, it's not meant to be. I live in England and am a native speaker of English, and have always called the city Alacant, even with my friends. Alicante is not an English name as opposed to the native language in the same way that Mexico City, Athens or Istanbul are. As someone with family from the region and also having had members of my family punished for speaking the Catalan Language, I find it quite hard to accept the normalisation of using the non native name. The name of the article is Alicante, and people will see it as the Spanish name, but will read "Alacant" the Valencian/Catalan name, which will teach them (the whole point of an encyclopedia); that the Valencian language is the native one, not the common misconception which is that it is Castillian Spanish.

Thank you for your efforts to move Lost Cause forward with better sourcing. If Wikipedia is going to call bullshit on something, like pseudoscience or fringe beliefs, I believe it essential we do so with at least sufficient sourcing to properly rebut random drive-by complaints as they arrive. This field is difficult territory, because recently even great scholars have admitted their own societal bias and failure to combat it through scholarship. Stridency is reasonable but sourcing is better. I suspect we'll be rewriting a lot of this material eventually, but today I'm thankful for your collegial approach and willingness to add supporting sources. Thank you.

Hi Carlstak,
First of all, I have to congratulate you because of all the great job you're doing in the Valencia article: you're doing something that should have been done ages ago! However, there's a small problem with what you're doing, and it's that you haven't added a single reference. As far as I know, Wikipedia is based on the principle of verifiability, so all the information which can be challenged should be referenced (see Wikipedia:Verifiability). -- Erraticus ( talk) 22:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Ok, Carlstack, all right: my english is really very bad.

My best salutations, Jorge alo ( talk) 15:00, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
One thing I forgot: the article is already good, but there are some (only a few) errors and we can put it even better (and joining all the references needed). Jorge alo ( talk) 15:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I agree interely with you: the great problem it's really my english (very bad). But there are also some historic nuances that are a little difficult for me to explain. for example, Leonor Teles, by the Treaty, could not proclaim them, it was necessary a proclamation by the naturals (all people that was propietary), and who said the treaty was unfair was Juan I of Castile and a part of his counselors (I think I will arrived to that passage today, maybe). But I think that with the sources and the translations, in the end all will be clear. I'm going to work on this maybe two months, or more, and I not only agree with you on not making changes before talking about it, but I even ask you to do them, after we talked, because of my bad english (I can read more or less easy, with the diccionary help, but I'm a danger on writing. Jorge alo ( talk) 16:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Ok, let's work. Don't bodher with the time on answering, we have all the time on the world (I confess I have a problem with time: for me it seems that "thing" don't exist). It's enough that you read what I'm puting on the discussion page, and you can make the improvements without saying nothing to me, because as I'm going only little by little, step after step, I can easilly follow the corrections and improvements you will make on the text. Abraço, Jorge alo ( talk) 17:26, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
@Carlstak, there are two great errors to correct on the borders of sucession, in the end. The first, we can't separate León From Castile because, in that time, it was only a Crown. So, it´s a great mistake to say the he was a) King of Castile and B) King of León. He was King of Castile and of Leon. This article is the only one that has such border after the preceded unification of the two Crowns. Second, it's true that even João das Regras, on Cortes of Coimbra, 1385, classified John I of Castile as a pretender and as one of the possible heirs of the portuguese Crown. So, no doubt he was a recognized pretender, but, first, I think it's inedit research to say that a pretension is as tittle, and, second, a pretender can't be preceded and succeded by Kings. Logically: or he was a King preceded and succeded by kings or he was a pretender succeded and preceded by pretenders on a specific pretension. As we say in my country, we can't make the addition of oranges with apples. So, I propose the quick correction of these borders. Abraço, Jorge alo ( talk) 15:01, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Just to give you a heads up, I reverted this edit of yours. It appeared to only be dash format changes, which doesn't seem a helpful change (and I hope your other edits aren't similar as far as only changing dash formats) Personally I disagree that any script should change the dash format at all, but changes that appear to *only* make dash format changes are really pointless - they appear exactly the same to readers in HTML anyway. So the format should be up to editors of the page. It's much easier to tell the difference between an n-dash and an em-dash in the – forms, IMHO, and if it doesn't matter to readers, what's the point of changing it? Clearly the original editor preferred it that way...
It's a very minor issue of course, so nothing too big a deal, just a pet peeve of mine that so many automated scripts consider it an improvement to change the dash format for no reason... SnowFire ( talk) 04:13, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak. I should be the last guy to comment about an article on a user's talkpage. I find such visits unnecessary and perhaps annoying. But I felt that I should comment here to let you know that you make some very good points with which I agree completely. However I think that some comments regarding the other editors should not be given so much emphasis because they detract from the other excellent points which you are making. This is not meant as criticism but given that I support your points I think the discussion could be helped if we stayed focused on the article issues. Sorry for the trouble. Best regards.

Thanks for your edits... I am going to revert the change from normal to "curly" x, in line with the WP IPA guide for German. Note that Wiktionary is not a "Reliable Source" in the official sense, because it is no more reliable than WP (so a sly insert of any nonsense into both would mean they were preserved for ever!) But please see, and if possible comment on my earlier comment about this at talk:Johann Sebastian Bach#Pronunciation footnote for name. In English, I suspect the pronunciation varies hugely from place to place, and by individual, but I have always heard "Ba:x"; a list of all the possibilities could get out of hand...

Wikipedia seems to have an inconsistent policy on date ranges. The clearest policy is MOS:DATERANGE which says:
but this conflicts with other advice (e.g. I can't find it now, but I'm sure I've seen 1881–1892 recommended when expressing someone's lifespan or a series of football seasons).
As for defence vs defense at Belém Tower, I'm well aware that defence is the British spelling (I'm British myself) but I've been editing a few articles on Lisbon subjects today and most of then either use a mixture of American and British spellings and phrases, or wholly American, so I was trying to follow MOS:RETAIN. Unlike other Lisbon articles, Belém Tower does, however, seem to use mainly British spellings (despite a few Americanisms like "protested the site's degradation"), so defence is perhaps better here. WP:ENGVAR is a bit of a minefield when there are no "strong national ties" to the topic; even though my preferred style is British, I'd rather an article was written consistently in US English rather than a mixture of the two.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from St. Augustine, Florida into History of St. Augustine, Florida. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{ copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:02, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Hi Carlstak, re: this, in case my edit summary wasn't great, I totally get why you reverted--good watchdogging. I was concerned as well, but I figured out that editor Hike removed the convert template because the parameter he's using automatically converts metric to imperial, so {{ convert}} wasn't necessary, and the geo coordinates that he removed were 00s, so they're not particularly useful. Hope that helps. Regards, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 18:40, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Carlstak,
I never revert edits, however my edit/reference comes from britishlistedbuildings.co.uk, which is a well respected online listing of British Listed Buildings, and they have used as a source Cadw. It states that "In the mid C19 the Hall was occupied by the eminent Professor of History, E A Freeman". Therefore my edit "He lived in Llanrumney Hall, Cardiff in the mid 19th century" was well referenced, while "After some changes of residence, Freeman bought a house called "Somerleaze", near Wells, Somerset, and settled there in 1860" has no references at all.

People like Hervey de Glanvill were Normans aka "Anglo-Normans" aka "Norman French". Remember 1066?

EastFloridaHistorian, You are trying to impose a revisionist view of the history of Florida not supported by the peer-reviewed academic literature on the subject, as indicated by some of your edit summaries. For example, your summary, "Tried to remove discriminatory rhetoric against Native Floridians. FYI: It's good to be sensitive and respect other people's cultures", ignores the Spanish natives of Florida, the Floridanos, many of whom were members of families that had been in Florida for hundreds of years before the events of the so-called "Patriot War", and were most certainly "native Floridians". Being "an 8th generation Floridian" has no bearing on the correctness of your edits to the content of this article. Information added can be challenged, as you did concerning the year of Harris's killing, and must be supported, as per WP policy, by reliable sources. The neutral point of view "stuff" is also WP policy, not a personal preference. We are not here to "fight" over what content is included in the article. That is what the article talk page is for.

Hi. I do not care if a text I reverted into António de Oliveira Salazar article stays or not, so I will not re-revert (also I rather discuss than revert multiple times). But I ask you not to remove the exact same text for two contradictory reasons, it confuses editing. You removed it first as unsourced and now for following the source too closely, thus a copyright violation. As I said, I don't care if the text stays or not, and the second reason maybe correct. So I simply ask you to be careful when providing reasons; no problem, it happens, certainly. - Nabla ( talk) 21:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed your recent cleanups and improvements to the article on Nathan Bedford Forrest, and as you commented there's been "quite a show" going on there. I've stumbled into the fray as a result of a WP:3O request, but it is way more complicated than a two-editor dispute over content. I suspect the article has a POV problem, but I do not have the topic-knowledge necessary to assess that properly. There's probably also an article ownership issue. Several editors (most recently Deisenbe who called me in) have raised issues on the Talk page, only to be firmly told that "There is no dispute". Which kind of suggests there is one. I'd like to get the article properly reviewed for NPOV -- I'm not asking you to do that yourself (unless you'd like to ) but if you support the idea, would you consider keeping an eye on the article to see if we can keep a POV-check tag in place without it getting reverted?

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Olá. A Wikimedia Portugal é uma associação portuguesa sem fins lucrativos, fundada em 2009, reconhecida pela Wikimedia Foundation como "chapter" de Portugal. A nossa missão é, em geral, contribuir para a disseminação generalizada do saber e da cultura, através do incentivo à recolha e criação de conteúdos isentos de restrições de utilização, modificação e distribuição, e da difusão dos mesmos; e em particular, promover e apoiar os projetos da Wikimedia Foundation, entre os quais a Wikipédia, com ênfase para os projetos nas línguas faladas em Portugal, o português e o mirandês.
Gostaríamos de contar com o apoio de (e reciprocamente apoiar) todos os voluntários naturais, residentes ou simplesmente interessados em Portugal. Embora fundada em 2009, a associação teve um largo período de inatividade, que estamos agora a ultrapassar. Vimos por isso convidá-lo, caso nisso tenha interesse, a inscrever-se como associado da associação, demonstrar apoio à existência de um "chapter" em Portugal, e a envolver-se em atividades futuras inscrevendo-se na lista de distribuição de email. Recentemente, a Comissão de Afiliações da Wikimedia suspendeu o apoio à Wikimedia Portugal, pendente, entre outras coisas, do apoio da comunidade de editores portugueses. [9]
Agradecemos desde já!
Hi! Wikimedia Portugal is the Portuguese chapter of Wikimedia, founded in 2009 and recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation. Our mission is to contribute to the general dissemination of knowledge and culture through the incentive to the collection and creation of content without restrictions on use, modification and distribution, and promote their difusion; we promote and support the Wikimedia Foundation projects, among which Wikipedia, with emphasis on projects in Portuguese and Mirandese.
We would like however to count on the support of (and in turn ourselves support) all volunteers that are citizens, resident, or simply interested in Portugal. Despite being founded in 2009, the chapter has gone through a long period of inactivity that we are trying to overcome. We have sent you this message to invite you, if you are interested, to enroll as associate to the chapter, demonstrate your support to the existence of a chapter in Portugal, and get involved in the discussion of future activities by registering in the mailing list. Recentely, the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee suspended support to Wikimedia Portugal pending, among other things, the support from the community of portuguese editors.

Carlstak, you are absolutely right that I have made some serious mistakes which you have corrected me on, and I’m very grateful. And that my credentials are largely (not completely) irrelevant. And that I tend to shoot my moouth off about things and get riled up, sometimes unnecessariliy.
Here is where I am at. If you look at my most longest recent article, America Is Hard to See (play), you’ll see I cite all sorts of sources. Or Angola, Florida. Or Texas Confederate Museum. All of which are entirely my work.
Actually I’ve been criticized in a review for using too much documentation (in my book _A Study of “Don Quixote”,_ in Spanish _La interpretación cervantina del “Quijote”_). I could dig out the reference.
My problem is that I have a lot of knowledge but not much ability to check sources on the sort of topic like Reconquista. I live in a retirement community and my resources are limited to the Palm Beach County Public Library and whatever electronic resources I can access. I have the WP Ebsco access and have applied for others. I get some electronic resources through the public library. Interlibrary loan can get me an occasional book or article, I’m using one right now (The Maroons of Prospect Bluff and Their Quest for Freedom in the Atlantic World, isbn 9780813044544). That can take weeks and the limit is five active requests at one time. The local universitty libraries, Florida Atlantic University and Lynn University, don’t have much of what I need, and I cannot borrow things without paying. In fact the closest library where I would have the resources I need is at Florida State, where I used to teach, and that’s a 10 hour drive. The University of Miami (over an hour) and University of Florida (5-6 hours) libraries would help some but not totally. And I’ll admit that it’s a lot of work, I’ve already done tons of it, I’m retired, and I do what I feel like. I’ve paid my dues.
Something like Reconquista I care passionately about. It’s a vitally important article, as I see it. It has a lot of things wrong with it, as I see it. So rather than do nothing, I make undocumented edits and people like you hopefully catch the mistakes. Actually I make undocumented edits and original research all over the place, most of it never challenged. Here’s an example: Miguel de Cervantes. I was the editor for 8 years of the journal of the Cervantes Society of America, which shows that I must know quite a bit about Cervantes, but not that I’m infallible or that my memory is perfect. I believe Cervantes was an accountant (not a dignified profession then) for part of his life. He worked as a purchasing agent and tax collector and had to keep accounts. He was friends with two bankers. In his works there are a lot of figures and computations. Cervantes knew multiplication which was not a common skill then or taught in school (you had to learn it from a book). There is no published source that I can cite to support my contention that he was an accountant. I could write one, and probably get it published, but that is a lot of work and it would be read by maybe 20 people. If I just go ahead and make the edit to the Cervantes article, I reach a much larger audience of people with much less effort. I am quite convinced that I am doing much more good than harm. But I’m grateful for any errors you catch. deisenbe ( talk) 11:52, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
My apologies, my attempt to merge after an edit conflict did not work correctly. If I could impose on you: I’m writing on a pad, and I am not competent with it yet. If I try to fix it, it’ll likely get worse. Could you put your section back in for me? Qwirkle ( talk) 14:53, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
PS: Either I've fixed this, or perhaps it never was a real problem, but an artifact of editing on one server vs. another, but if there is still a problem, then It still needs to be fixed. Qwirkle ( talk) 16:08, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Gullah.
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref>
and one or more <ref name="foo"/>
referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
but left the <ref name="foo"/>
, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/>
with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>
; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at
User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at

I appreciate the removal of my edit to the article. I am new to the process and agree that the factoid does not belong in the intro. The problem remains that the unsourced statement that he was declared by JPII to be patron saint of the internet remains and is used a source elsewhere on the internet. I do have references for it not being declared prior to JPII death. Perhaps a subheading on the article under "legacy" discussing the Internet hoax?

Let's talk about the etymology of Hidalgo.
This argument has bothered me for years, more than the existence of WP.I am aware that the popular notion is that the word is a contractionof hijo de algo, and that this ideation is reflected in the likes of Encylopaedia Brittanica, but I have had issues with Brittanica as it is politically (religiously, ideologically motived),just like many editors on WP.
As you know hijo de algo means son of something, and the turn of phrase is nonsense in both Spanish and English translation, and that is not "original research". Son of something is stating that a man is son of an object. Others are aware of the nonsense and have tried to assert that it means son of somebody. Then along comes others who rationalize and obfuscate claiming that something means "riches".
The only problem with hijo del Godo. Is the "del",we need to discover where "al" enters into the etymology, and I hold that here we have an influence that shows up in the Spanish language in many forms.. Arabic. Al is Arabic for "of" or "of the", You see that in Arabic names e. Muhammad al Tikriti. In other words hijo de al godo, a mixed language phrase, which is not uncommon in the Spanish language see Algeciras, and that is one case. With your background and knowledge I am sure that you can find many other mixed Arabic and Spanish words and phrases.
OK I can see where someone could claim that this statement is "orginal research" But we really don't have much to explain the etymology of hidalgo as son of something insults and assaults reason and language. Oldperson ( talk) 19:16, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Good morning Carlstak, first of all I hope you will accept my apology for my mistakes in editing, and for your work in correcting my writing errors in English. It was certainly a bad job and I regret it. I agree with what you've written: it's not our place to make value judgements that violate neutral-point-of-view, because I myself have corrected edits of other users who had made the same mistake, I certainly didn't have a good day.

Hi Carlstak, you have greatly improved my editing in Battle of Covadonga, and I really appreciate that. I feel bad about giving you a lot of work again. Sorry Carlstak.
Finally just a comment, my link was to a PDF with an index, this is true, but the PDF has 11 pages, and page number 8 corresponds to the page that interests us which is number 5 of the document written in the newspaper El Museo Universal by F. Navarro Villoslada. This is visible at least with Acrobat Reader in Windows, wich it displays a column on the left with thumbnails of each page.

This edit [11] seems to have upset you, so perhaps a quick explanation should be forthcoming.
The edit prior to yours added unreferenced material, and your subsequent followup edit slightly modified that unreferenced material. Your edit had to be reverted before the previous edit could be dealt with. Hopefully you understand. SolarFlash Discussion 18:45, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
As far as I am aware you use a possessive to show the relationship or (chain of) from the name, "Hawkins financial reforms of the Navy upset many who had vested interests." Why would you employ a possessive on that sentence? The sentence is describing an action, not a relationship. So I am confused by the English here, it seems different to what I was taught.

Hi Carlstack, thank you for your good advice. It's incredible forty five editions for a ridiculous number of images. I've had a lot of work but I can't stand vandalism. You know I have been about to employ the following method: a slight modification in thr first vandalic edition and with this we managed to undo all the subsequent changes, but I have been careful, when seeing intermediate editions made by you, this ruled out that option. I am sure he has made forty-five editions believing that he would make the reversal as difficult as possible. He may be a vandal but he knows the WP edition, he has even made links, and modified some code text.
Thank you for your good advice, and also for your spelling corrections when I make a not quite correct edition. You show a lot of patience,and a lot of interest in improving WP by keeping an "encyclopedic spirit" at all times, but one thing is certain, in the end there are some good editions that add new content that did not appear in the various articles in which we have both intervened
I will study what you tell me about menu buttons to automate common tasks and WP:ROLLBACK,it's very interesting. Greetings -- REKKWINT ( talk) 23:40, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

I am not an historian or scholar, by any means. However, I do enjoy reading historical articles, here on WP. I am fairly astonished, and dismayed, by the so-called improvements made to the article. I have watchlisted, obviously, and can add my voice to disapprove, at the very least, the poor English in the "improvements". Thanks for your edits, so that Andrew Lancaster is not a lone voice crying in the wilderness. Best, Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 04:13, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
I recently undid an edit of yours in this article, which you then undid. This was fine with me, I went to the talk page to continue discussing what we had begun and discovered that much of what we were discussing had been slash & burned by an annon editor, certainly not me. So I started a discussion on the talk page and hope to see you there. One of the points we were discussing was the cultural appropriation issue, I have the book, the source used and would like to post the entire paragraph because, it's late and I can't exactly remember why, but it seemed relevant.

I was wondering if you had checked the edits made to Bernardo de Gálvez such as [13] [14] and the number of other edits by the same editor?
Do these edits seem reasonable? Are they supported by sources?
The reason for asking is that the editor in question puts out a large number of edits, often on relatively unrelated subjects, and with very short time intervals between edits. This does not seem to fit with using sources before making changes. Some edits have value (correcting clear errors) but many appear questionable. These characteristics are similar to those of User:Snagemit. Hence the concern. As I am not familiar with the subject matter of this article, it seems sensible to ask an editor who does know the subject.

Regarding the width of the Utah monolith, equilateral triangles are shorter than they are wide:

Dear Carlstak,
I´m working in the biography of Draft:Juan Cabrera Garrido. After submission, I was kindly adviced to introduce new quotes and footnotes to the biographical information to improve it. So I did, but then there came a problem with "verifying claims because of a language barrier". At that point I tryed to obtain help from the WikiProject Biography but, after a couple of months, I haven´t received any feedback... That is whay I write to you, in order (if possible) to ask for help and advice about how to continue.
Thanks a lot in advance and regards! -- Tulkas76 ( talk) 11:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

From the anon editor that got nervous about anti-semitism:
Just wanted to thank you for letting the final revision on doo-wop stand. I know you have done a lot of research on this part of history for music you're passionate about. I hope you can kind of see where I was coming from an audience looking at these articles for the first time. It wasn't a question of whether each individual piece was factually correct, but it's been said that propaganda is as much about emphasis as content. The narrative of "jews in control" and being especially greedy is super dangerous.
I may have overreacted -- especially by removing the entire sections as a first edit for an issue I could have brought to the talk page. I stayed anonymous because it can be genuinely risky engaging in some of these conversations when you don't yet know who you are engaging with. That said, I can see how it could look like idiotic vandalism.
Thank you for your work -- I'll stop messing with these pages. I hope at some point you'll be willing to take a read-through of what you wrote and ask how a layperson would engage with that content (say, someone who hasn't read a ton of work by Jewish and Black Authors and is looking to confirm biases they might hold) and ask yourself about the impact of those words on the audience reading them.
But if you don't, that's fine too. It's clear by now how much work you've put in and it's not fair to continue making you feel as if you're being accused of doing that work poorly or in bad faith. Thanks for all the time you volunteer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.125.197 ( talk) 18:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak, did you read my last update to the edit I undid? Because I never mentioned anything of this sort-"their potential to treat drug dependence, anxiety or mood disorders." I only updated the information, under research, to only include the types of expiremental research being done on animals. As it is research, and did not include anything about how it relates to medicine or therapy. Simply, unbias, real research, under research. How does this violate anything? I don't want to sound rude, I just don't understand how this is something you deem unworthy of being noted? Is it not research? Jmorales96 ( talk) 03:50, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Dear Carlstak, I have started an RfC on the article Goths that may be of interest to you, see Talk:Goths#RfC.-- Berig ( talk) 21:01, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
Two years ago, we held an RfC to decide if the Estado Novo regime should be considered Fascist or not, no consensus was reached, so it was decided that the status quo would be maintained, and the status quo was that it was indeed a Fascist regime:
This also means of course that Salzar should be considered a Fascist ruler.
But despite this, the user JPratas has continued to make edits that go against what was decided and imposing his POV on many pages, including this one, a few months ago he was even threatened with being blocked if he continued to do this on the Fascism in Europe page, see the last comments on the section:
So as you can see, I'm not the one disrepecting WP:BRD, JPratas is, he is the one that is going against what was decided. -- 201.20.66.11 ( talk) 04:45, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
What's your source for Salazar's 1.75 m height ? — AnnaBruta ( talk) 14:46, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
I wanted to suggest adding a page on Juan Jose Eligio de la Puente y Regidor.
He was a prominent St Augustinian during the transition of control from Spain to the British in the 1760s. He is credited with the creation of the map detailing St Augustine's fort and city as it was in 1763.
He is the great-grandson of Spanish Florida Governor Juan de Ayala y Escobar. (Through Ayala's daughter Francisca).
Information regarding him can be found here: [1]
Some additional information can be found in the History of Cuban Families volume 5 page 90 (99 of the pdf): [2]
Also, on page 87 (96 of pdf) there is information regarding Jose Eligio de la Puente y Castillejo, who marries Francisca de Ayala y Diaz-Mexia. Their son Antonio is Juan Jose's father.
The map he created: [3]
Actually, after finding this link...I just noticed you posted it...but you have his name misspelled. It is Eligio, not Elixio. Also, should be Jose not Joseph.
Also, it is misspelled in the article/caption of the map here as well: [4] When abbreviating his name, it should be Eligio de la Puente, not Puente by itself.
Disclosure: I have conflict of interest, as I am a descendant of Juan Jose Eligio de la Puente y Regidor. Thus, I would prefer to have someone without a COI fix the spelling and if possible, create a page for him.
Thanks

I disagree with you re respecting use of hyphen instead of en dash. The point is what helps the reader more. An en dash makes it more readible. Faithfully conserving a hyphen between numbers serves no purpose that I can see.

Hello Carlstak, and thanks for your contributions to the encyclopedia. I noticed that this edit of yours to Confederate States of America removed sourced content and reinstated a recent change to the wording of the lead of the article regarding terminology related to slavery in the American South while a discussion was already going on about this wording change at the Talk page. This started when another editor boldly inserted new wording in the lead and was reverted; this prompted creation of this discussion at the Talk page. It's contrary to WP:BRD to reinstate such a reverted change while the discussion is ongoing; please undo your change and join the discussion at the Talk page.

Hi there. I had some fun last month putting infoboxes on the early administrators of New Spain and ran into a lot of basic questions about the proper terminology and conceptualization of the era, as would be appropriate for infoboxes and list articles. My full plea for help was posted in Wikiproject Military history and got no replies, so if you didn't see it before I wanted to ask directly if you could lend any insight? To me, the officeholder infobox conveys a sense of important authority, and in my opinion it should only definitively state what the official documented positions of the Cortés crew were. Otherwise, if they really were just a bunch of idiots who unofficially took the reins whenever someone went on campaign or on trial, a different kind of presentation might be necessary. I'd appreciate any thoughts and recommendations you have. Thanks! SamuelRiv ( talk) 18:35, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for your contributions to Recession; the actual article is indeed what needs the most attention. Regarding your recent comments on the talk page, I would suggest that if you don't read someone's thoughtful reply to your comment, it would be less demoralizing for the other editor, and honestly a bit less rude to not say anything at all than to say you didn't read it because it was too long, even if that's the honest truth. And it's certainly more civil to be silent than to call a comment that you didn't read "boring". Thanks, Beland ( talk) 17:17, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Your more recent comments railing against "Brandonites" and saying "who of course will ignore it and say it's fake" goes very much against the Wikipedia guidelines that require us to assume good faith, and not to make Wikipedia an ideological battleground. This sort of rhetoric does nothing to make a better article, helps create an impression that Wikipedia is politically biased, are a turn off to editors who both agree and disagree with you, and reduce the changes that other editors will be willing to cooperate with you in the future. -- Beland ( talk) 22:59, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Come on, @Carlstak, we are editors here and we should be trying to to be collaborative. Look, I empathize and relate with you, truly, not only as a fellow editor that shares some of the same viewpoints but also because I am a Cherokee descendent. Many years ago I actually walked much of the route that my direct ancestors walked as part of the last group to leave Cherokee territory in 1836. It's hard to separate our emotions from how we edit, especially when its about polarizing issues like this which directly impacted our lives but we have to. @Sandy is right and I think it's very fair that they are trying to communicate with you here and not taking this further which they could do. It's best to take a step back and listen to them. This is not the hill you are going to die on. Please. The article will be reviewed once all disputes are settled. If a solution can not be found then it may get delisted but that's a call the community will make at that time. So please stop editing for now and instead engage in discussion. -- ARose Wolf 16:10, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Not sure why you would remove my edits because the people I mentioned were still living. Of the five that I mentioned (other than Jan's first wife whose family name I corrected) I know definitely that one is deceased (Bonnie Whaley). I have no idea about the three males although during the past few years I have tried to find them using various identity search tools and it's likely that at least one of them is still living. Kathi Weller (now Kathryn Weller-Renfrow) is still living in Northern California. As far as being a 'reliable' source my contributions aren't any less reliable than other unattributed information about Jan's forbears which I assume may've have come from his daughter. The reason I know these things is that Jan and I roomed together while both attending Ventura J.C. The last time I saw him was in the spring of 1965 and he was with Bonnie and I was visiting a girlfriend in Ventura. Jan also had a cousin from Bakersfield, Greg Pace, who I knew from high school and had relocated to Ventura with his folks. Pretty sure that Jan was living with the Paces when I first met him. My former girlfriend knew Bonnie Poorman from Camarillo HS and kept up with her for a while but after Jan's acting career began to take off they lost contact generally. I met Jan's mom once when she and a friend of hers came down to Ventura and they took us out to eat a local Mexican restaurant. It's possible I met his dad but not sure but I have an image of him so I may've seen a picture. Horace Jacoby ( talk) 18:50, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak, thank you so much for getting into the nitty gritty of the Jackson article in the edits now. Except for just micro-changing, I'm done with the biography for now. I'm wrapping trying to draft the last two parts of legacy to meet the concerns of talk. But I know the article is still messy and needs cleaning. Please don't hesitate to make larger changes if you need to. (I don't think you need the encouragement- but given the issues with editing a while back, one never knows.) I've also asked another editor, John, to jump in too. He was a delight to work with when we were working on the Joan of Arc article and has a great eye for catching and cleaning poor writing, too.
Once I'm done with legacy, I think the lead needs to be tackled. Most of it seems okay as is, though it could use a bit of trimming. But that first paragraph is may require care. I think where will be interesting. Once its ready to be tackled, think all invested parties will have to pitch in on talk. I'm looking forward to seeing a compromise that most of us can agree to forged in five sentences or so.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you are doing, and am glad you hanging around and keeping your eye on my edits of this article. Wtfiv ( talk) 23:33, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

I just wanted to say I'm glad to see you're keeping an eye the Jefferson article. I thought it was interesting it popped up in FAR after mostly finishing with Jackson. It seems like a real challenge, particularly once it gets closer to the legacy section. I hope you are doing well, and all in Florida is renormalizing! Wtfiv ( talk) 23:07, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
I saw this edit where you added a ping to a user, and just wanted to let you know that they likely will not get a ping for it. For whatever reason if you edit a comment after the fact and add a ping, it will not actually ping the editor; it must be a comment that has a signature added via four tildes (~~~~) in order for it to ping correctly (per WP:MENTION). It's weird and frankly unintuitive, but I just wanted to let you know that the ping won't work when added to an existing comment. - Aoidh ( talk) 02:22, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello. At Punic people, you removed content containing five sources and left an edit summary instructing another editor to "provide a source". ??? Largoplazo ( talk) 13:52, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Hey Carlstak, I was looking at the Long hot summer of 1967 page today and saw your edit summary stating that the table of riots was removed for coatrack that added material longer than the page before my edit. If it was for " Compilations of Something Very Bad", then I'll have to disagree with your statement because it had a reliable news source and included riots started by both whites and blacks, so I'd like to know exactly why you thought it was coatrack and how it could be fixed.

Hello, and thanks for the edits that you just made to the Francis Drake page—I had flagged it myself but you beat me to it. I laughed out loud at your comment, since it has been exhausting to just get the community of Drake editors to acknowledge that Drake's role in the slave trade is notable at all. That said, a new consensus does seem to be emerging, and hopefully the result of that long and frustrating discussion will be treatment of Drake's role in the early slave trade that is less susceptible to endless edit wars. Ynizcw ( talk) 01:37, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
I apparently incorrectly attributed the mess of dates in the slaving section of Francis Drake to you, and I wanted to apologize for my mistake. I'm sorry for that. In checking the history, I must have misread who did what. It's all gotten a bit hard to follow.
Ynizcw and I have been working hard to achieve a consensus/compromise that will not get reverted every other day. It has been exceedingly tedious, but is showing some progress. I am leaving it to him to act on our latest discussion.
I don't know whose edits you "watch" - which seems a bit like "hounding" [17] imo - but I do know that the section following slaving lacks sufficient sourcing. It would be great if you could help fix that. Thank you for your input to the article and again, sorry for the mistake. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 19:21, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
Did you intend to leave part of Frank's edits in place? You reverted one of his two consecutive edits. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 06:43, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Greetings fellow editorial comrade. Listen, not sure what your schedule looks like, but I recently edited the page on Ricimer in its entirety and it could probably use your keen copy-editing editorial eye...should you be so inclined. Danke sehr und mach's gut. Obenritter ( talk) 19:32, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Re: your edit summary, the date 1541 appears throughout Lady Eliott-Drake's book. I hope your other claims about sources are less inaccurate. DuncanHill ( talk) 20:14, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Carlstak. You added a reference for "Weatherly 2014" to the Hank Williams artice, but no such work is defined there. You also added a cite for "Wilmeth 2014" did you mix the names up? If not could you add the required cite, or let me know what work this refers to? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆ transmissions∆ ° co-ords° 13:10, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Carlstak. I did some good faith changes in the editing of these total speculative claims about Cabrilho being Jew. This has nothing to do with private research, but with basic common sense. If anyone who read both books can point me to a single document, single line of evidence, I will stop saying that is not History anymore. It seems though people do not read the books and just quote anything. I read both books and this Jewish claim is total bogus - thus not providing valuable information to Wikipedia. If anyone can just dump here any source, without a certain quality criteria...I can imagine, if being consistent, that Wikipedia page about Columbus must list all the putative nationalities too many speculators ascribe to him, from Polish, to Portuguese, to Hungarian, Catalan, etc, Columbus was Genoese as anyone who reads books and cares for solid evidence knows, despite a sea of rubbish and speculation out there. What worries me is to see how easy it is to have anyone just add some low quality sources into a Wikipedia article, when one of the principles is also that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and in this case there is none, zero evidence...thus surely not extraordinary...I am puzzled by this way of working but if that is how Wikipedia works...I drop the towel and let people add all kinds of junk.

Hi! I saw your comment here. I don't have access that article, and am not prepared to give my email address to academia in order to get it; I'm sort of assuming that you do? This search seems to show that the page includes the phrase "taken from Wikipedia"; if so, I don't think we need worry about the copyvio aspect. If not, would you kindly let me know – and tell me the date of publication of the paper so that I can try to look at the situation in greater depth? Many thanks, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 09:52, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
Hiya, I mean all that I am saying here in the nicest possible way, so if some of it sounds sarcastic, it's not meant to be. I live in England and am a native speaker of English, and have always called the city Alacant, even with my friends. Alicante is not an English name as opposed to the native language in the same way that Mexico City, Athens or Istanbul are. As someone with family from the region and also having had members of my family punished for speaking the Catalan Language, I find it quite hard to accept the normalisation of using the non native name. The name of the article is Alicante, and people will see it as the Spanish name, but will read "Alacant" the Valencian/Catalan name, which will teach them (the whole point of an encyclopedia); that the Valencian language is the native one, not the common misconception which is that it is Castillian Spanish.

Thanks friend, but due to the country where I live, many pages are blocked on my computer, one of the Few things I don't like about my country :), This appears when I click on the link you gave me,
'Google. 404. That’s an error.

No, sorry friend I have nothing to do with that sock, I like the hispanic things, like so millions Latinos who feel identified, but I also contribute and want to contribute in cities and buildings in many countries that are unrelated around the world, have a nice day, and I will continue editing the Alcazar of Seville, I will spend Sunday editing, have a good time.-- LaGuairabeach ( talk) 14:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Soon i will be translating the Cathedral of Buenos Aires, it seems to me that few people have put effort into the articles of Argentine constructions and history. Of Italy I also want to do. With the url's of the books, I tried, I will keep trying but I don't think it works, I have done what you tell me and I get an error as if the url's are misspelled or something is missing.-- LaGuairabeach ( talk) 01:08, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your efforts to move Lost Cause forward with better sourcing. If Wikipedia is going to call bullshit on something, like pseudoscience or fringe beliefs, I believe it essential we do so with at least sufficient sourcing to properly rebut random drive-by complaints as they arrive. This field is difficult territory, because recently even great scholars have admitted their own societal bias and failure to combat it through scholarship. Stridency is reasonable but sourcing is better. I suspect we'll be rewriting a lot of this material eventually, but today I'm thankful for your collegial approach and willingness to add supporting sources. Thank you.

I am so sorry for my poor edit of the Province of Carolina page and for the great mistake I made confusing Barbados and the Bahamas. Thank you for your edit and patience with my error.

Thanks for adding the Google Books link; I don't know why I didn't see it. But why did you choose page 72? It doesn't mention Jessie Donaldson. I searched the book for her name and four pages came up, but Google Books doesn't allow us to read the full pages, so I could not tell which if any mentions her invitation to Douglass.
