Proposed deletion of Manuel de Lardizábal y Uribe

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Manuel de Lardizábal y Uribe, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? -- lucasbfr ^talk 20:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Pedro Verdugo de Albornoz Ursúa

A tag has been placed on Pedro Verdugo de Albornoz Ursúa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.  Chzz  ►  02:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Dimitri Ivanovich Dolgorukov

Please stop your unhelpful edits on Dimitri Ivanovich Dolgorukov. The content you are adding is not about Dimitri Ivanovich Dolgorukov, but about others associated with him, be it either Washington Irving or Baron d¨Oubri. Those edits should go on other pages. Similiary, stories about Three Russian heads of staff has nothing to do with the subject of the article. Finally, your additions do not meet Wikipedia policies on verifiability. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 17:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Sofia Tolstaya

I'm very glad there are people to work on subjects like this, but could you make some effort to polish up the translations? Perhaps its machine translation? The characteristic features of machine translation are literal use of non-idiomatic phrases, and use of the wrong tense. To figure out the tense of a non-English verb and get the right English one requires context, because in most languages,including English, there are more than one possible tense that are spelled the same. It's generally clear in context, but a machine doesn't know context.

There's another point. I'm not sure where you are translating from, but it isn't the Russian WP article. I don't know all that much Russian, but the article does not even approximately match. If its an actual translation, not arewriting, it wouldalmsot certainly be a copyright violation, depending on date of publication.

Additionally, most of the article is about Leo tolstoy, not Sofia Tolstoy. She is important enough for an article, but the basic information about her husband's career does not belong here.

If, on the other hand, you are writing it yourself, please ask someone who is little more familiar with English idiom take a look at what you write before you submit it. I could do some cleanup here, but I am reluctant to do the work unless I know for sure that it is not a copyvio. DGG (talk) 04:26, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Some general issues

I think you should be careful about some problems with yours edits. As noted in the previous comment above, you seem to be bringing in irrelevant information into articles you edit. The information should pertain to the actual subject of the article, and an article shouldn't go into tangents about other topics. You're also making unhelpful changes that go against the prevailing style at Wikipedia. Adding the dates of birth and death of every person who is mentioned isn't necessary and detracts from the readable of an article. An article ought to lead with the title of the article. Articles about married women shouldn't be changed to replace the title of the article with their maiden names. Some of your additions are written with very confusing grammar. I think it would be helpful if you were mindful of these issues when making future edits. Thanks. --JamesAM (talk) 19:01, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. You should avoid filling articles with information that is only tangentially related to (or irrelevant to) the actual subject of the article. That's disruptive. In addition, you shouldn't add the dates of birth and death for every person who is mentioned in an article, unless there's a particular reason that the dates of birth and death needed to be in that article. --JamesAM (talk) 16:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Juan de Aragón, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Aecharri precissions on Bombardment of Fort Charlotte at English Wikipedia

I am an erratic user of Internet, paying per hour here and there at telephone and Internet public, hired places. I learn, today 12 June 2010, I am not allowed to open my IT contributions to Wikipedia english as my actual IP at this place is thought, or suspected to be, some sort of "zombi" slave of another "bad" address. I do hope these reasons are genuine, and the only explanation to be thus forbidden access till July 9 , 2010 to be able to carry out any editing possibilities at Wikipedia english. I still believe Wikipedia is a FORUM of ideas and not the particular parcel of POWER of anyone, but when you try to write on places such as Hartheim Castle in Nazi times Austria or on Maricopa, Arizona history before 1850, under Spanish and Mexican rule, anything could crope out, even if moderating you language with newcomers or young sophomores as I have done, as a Ph. D. holder University professor, for several tens of years, but anything could be related to anything. You never know when dealing with anonymous people. Well, Fort Condé recently reconstructed to a smaller scale than the original true life sizes should be located at "Bombardment of Fort Charlotte" at 30° 41′ 19.57″ N, 88° 2′ 23.28″ W . Can anyone interested add this location data before July 9, 2010, date of eventual re opening, perhaps conditional, of my freedom to speak and write again there?. Sorry for exchanging IDEAS in Spanglish and not "perfect" English.--Aecharri (talk) 17:04, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hola Dr.:

Lamento no poder comunicarme muy bien en español y por lo tanto le ruego que me tenga paciencia. Aunque he encontrado algunos pequeños problemas con sus contribuciones, no creo que sea tan problematico como para impedir que siga escribiendo. Sólo tengo un par de objeciones. En primer lugar, a menudo se me hace un poco difícil entender sus escritos. Sin embargo, creo que sería una gran ventaja poder aprovecharnos de sus conocimientos, ya que Vd. es experto en historia. Es por eso que intento arreglar un poco la gramática y la estilística de sus escritos.

El otro consejo que le tengo es lo siguiente: el utilizar las leyendas de las fotos para proveer información más allá del simple «¿qué o quién aparece en este imagen?» puede ser confuso para el lector y además, va en contra de la política de la Wikipedia (o por lo menos, la política de la Wikipedia en inglés). Las leyendas no deben de ser más de unas cuantas palabras, e.g. "El castillo del duque Fulanito de Tal, localizado en las afueras de la antigua ciudad de Dondequiera". Cualquier otro punto de información debe escribirse en el espacio prinicipal del artículo.

Desafortunadamente, no soy bibliotecario, así que no puedo desbloquearlo.

Images at Gonzalo de Cordoba

Ciao! Please stop re-introducing those images of characters different from the entry one. Their caption is long like as an article, further. All those informations can be read in their article. Let me know and good work. --'''Attilios''' (talk) 18:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Exchange of views with Attilios, 17th July 2010, figure captions on Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba sketch

I respectfully disagree with your views on the subject of figures captions, even in spite many people in Wikipedia and IT seems to disagree with me. 1) Path to Italian success through earlier failures is and was an expression alien to me and it must have been over two years there before YOU and I read about it in this Wikipedia sketch on Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba actions in the Italian Wars. I try however to be respectful with other people learned views and I left it there all along this time, although I thought, as you did, it was not a too clever heading to the military actions described there. There is a spirit, however, between the so called "Librarians", to create niches for information as those, simple French XVIII Century Encyclopedists did:

Where should I put a reference to same paper related to... in such a way anyone can retrieve it from such an INFO wher information on.... can be retrieved?. Fortunately, we are in the XXI Century and my goals are different : For what reasons Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba WAS SENT TO NAPLES AT ALL?. Did it matter, for example, that king Ferdinand II of Aragón had had hard words with his father king John II of Aragon, the surviving broher of King Alfonso V of Aragón, a.k.a. Alfonso I of Naples, and preferred that his younger sister, Joanna of Aragon DID NOT MARRY the later king Frederick IV of Naples but rather better, for political reasons, Frederick IV widower father, king Ferrante I of Naples?. These things leave me little room to "preach" lured attendats on my historical views on what happened, really, in my own opinion, there and then.

For instance, where do I say that when preparing the XVIII Century Encyclopedic Virtual Niche required for Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba some people believe Wikipedia SHOULD BE while having to interact with so called "historians" interested only in describing Gonzalo´s little battles against Frenchies or Turks while being a ·tourist" in Italy? .

You seem to be an intelligent enough and adequately educated enough person to be spared these reflexions provided you acknowledge, too, your youth, and restlesness, hence, inadequate preparation, to rewrite Italy´s History, better still, the Centenary History of Kingdoms and Republics in Italy nowadays. It is not as straight and as clear as Berlusconi´s type of politicians, too busy searching for money, assisted by their Carabinieri would dream.

Go on with your enthusiastic work but allow others, having read for many years things on Italy unknown to many actual Italians, to go on also with their jobs and with their views. It is worth to see, and reconstruct, first the biographies of so many tens of Viceroys in Sicily, in Naples, in Sardinia, of Venetian rulers, of Tuscan Princes and foreign ad Italian Popes, no actual living Italian seem to undertake, then, the geographical circumstances, droughts, famines, plagues, French and Turkish Corsars all around , etc. before wishing to be a culturally isolated member of the Padana Republic, believe me.

5th Marquess of Londonderry

In that he did not become the 5th Marquess until 1872, if he was Ambassador to Russia from 1867 to 1871 it was as Earl Vane. RGCorris (talk) 17:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Answering RGCorris on the 5th Marquess of Londonderry, British ambassador to Russia 1867-1871

Yes, indeed, I knew very well why I put both dates by the side. I found many supposed British nobility "Sirs" and "Lords" are described for instance, too, as Marquess or 5th Marquess or Lord or whatever. If someone has done already a biography, stating like here 5th Marquess, I believe I should not put him as a Viscount or a Baron WHEN HE/SHE WAS young, and he died later as a Marquess. Otherwise, a person already described in Wikipedia, COULD NOT BE FOUND AT ALL when using HIS REAL TITLE WHEN HE ACTED AS AN AMBASSADOR THERE. " This "lices sorting jobs", as members of the primates, monkeys, community are however necessary. Depending on the compiler, someone acting as ambassador in the USA and described as "Lord", can be described while acting as an ambassador in Paris as " Sir" or Rt. Hon. Sir if he/she had his living father holder of the nobility title still living or is/was a cadet brother of the family. Protocols are very complicated and I am not wishing to act as some sort of Master of Ceremonies for the British Crown either. We, common mortals, need to save neuronal networks for our old time, if anything. I notice you got my message quickly. What to do and how to achieve clearness about someone diyng later as a 5th Marquess is really rather irrelevant to me, believe me. What matters is to get Wikipedia as impressive and throughly informed as it is/can be in certain matters finding works already done rapidly. Thanks. Aecharri (talk) 18:10, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

For comparison, the Prime Minister of the UK in the late 1950s was Harold Macmillan. Although he later became the Earl of Stockton no-one would refer to him as that during his period as PM. By the same token, the British representative at the Congress of Vienna was Viscount Castlereagh - the fact that he later became the 2nd Marquess of Londonderry does not mean that he should retrospectively be referred to by that title. It is quite straightforward in Wikipedia to link to the appropriate individual's page while using the appropriate name or title at the time referred to. If you are unable to comprehend this then your efforts to "get Wikipedia as impressive and throughly informed as it is/can be" are more likely to cause confusion than add to the clarity. What matters is accuracy and you seem to have a problem with that. RGCorris (talk) 12:27, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Giovanni Borgia in Saint Francis Borgia article

Hi there. I thought you'd care to know that your edit to the Saint Francis Borgia article was misinformed. You seem to have inserted a bit of text that conflates Francis Borgia's father Juan de Borja (or Juan Borgia or Giovanni Borgia) with the same-named Giovanni Borgia, dubbed the infans Romanus. The former was the 3rd duke of Gandia, and died in 1543 (per St. Francis Borgia's Catholic Encyclopedia entry). The latter was never Duke of Gandia and died in 1548. Accordingly, your edit has been undone. I advise greater care in future edits. --Mercurio (talk) 16:49, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Also, without wishing to be rude, the page as written is mostly unsourced gibberish that skirts close to being not even written in English. There is no way of knowing if what anything you have put there is true or accurate; and the section headings alone are bizarre, chatty observations rather than encyclopedic division markers. This seems to be a pattern, as is your habit of adding details of random family members to WP pages that are not about those people; adding death dates for people mentioned in articles that are not about them; adding wholly irrelevant pictures to pages with absurdly long captions; adding random foreign language links and book recommendations to "reference sections". Obviously some scrappy content can always be tidied up and subbed by others later - this is how Wikipedia works. But this goes way beyond that, and you have been here long enough, and others have raised these issues with you enough times now, for this to be more wilful than naive. You would appear to have a knowledge of and interest in areas that are often obscure to other people; while this is in principle valuable, it also allows you to add a lot of material without much scrutiny from your peers. English is also clearly not your first language, which makes it seem odd that you wish to devote so much time to the English language wikipedia. Please stop, or at least slow down a little or ask for mentoring or editing advice? Thank you. N-HH talk/edits 00:17, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

The page is even more of a mess now than it was when you started it. Since you have chosen to ignore polite notices from me and others before me, this time I will be rude - the majority of the content you introduce on pages here is appallingly formatted, badly written random irrelevance or total nonsense. There may be something of value hidden deep within it, but there's no way of telling as you refuse to include any inline citations. Seriously, stop it, or I'll take you off to some noticeboard or other. In extremis, that could end up with you blocked. Thank you. N-HH talk/edits 20:44, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Cleaning up your articles

I have been working to clean up a couple of articles that you have been working on, on the assumption that your were contributing in good faith. I now see that several other editors have informed you that you are adding material that is not directly relevant to the subjects of the articles, and that it is incorrect to add birth and death dates for people mentioned in the articles. Since you have ignored the advice and requests of several editors, I will stop editing your articles, and instead revert any contributions that you make that do not meet Wikipedia's standards. Please do not waste the time of other editors, and your own time. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 16:10, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Headings

Per WP:HEAD:

• Headings should not refer redundantly to the subject of the article, or to higher-level headings, unless doing so is shorter or clearer. (Early life is preferable to His early life when his refers to the subject of the article; headings can be assumed to be about the subject unless otherwise indicated.).
• Headings should not normally contain links, especially where only part of a heading is linked.

Per WP:MOS, section headings. like article titles should be "be recognizable (as a name or description of the topic), natural, sufficiently precise, concise, and consistent with the titles of related articles.

In some articles you have introduced long, detailed heading packed full of information, like dates. they have also violated the style guide direction to:

• Use "sentence case", not "title case"; that is, the initial letter of a title is capitalized..... Otherwise, capital letters are used only where they would be used in a normal sentence (Funding of UNESCO projects, not Funding of UNESCO Projects).

Please follow the Wikipedia style guide. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 16:19, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Linking

• The Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles says: "When you do create links, link only one or a few instances of the same term; don't link all instances of it."
• Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes warns against "Over-Wikifying": "Wikipedia thrives on internal links, but keep it within reason."
• Also, links should be made only where they are relevant to the article, and not to every word. See Wikipedia:Make only links relevant to the context.

WP:OVERLINK specifically says:

"Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, it is generally inappropriate to link:

• plain English words;
• terms whose meaning would be understood by almost all readers;
• items that would be familiar to most readers, such as the names of major geographic features and locations, religions, languages, common professions and common units of measurement (particularly if a conversion is provided);
• dates."

Ground Zero | t 16:38, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Foreign languages

MOS:FOREIGN says: "Foreign words should be used sparingly." There is no need to put the Arabic alphabet transliteration of a name in English except in the article about that person or place. Junking up the text with extra information like this (and birth dates/death dates) makes the articles difficult to read. Ground Zero | t 16:44, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Please stop. It's not the first time you've been asked, by me or others. If you don't see what the problem is, I'm not going to spell it out for you yet again. You can always ask for clarification on specific points if you're genuinely confused. N-HH talk/edits 15:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

• I've taken a look at the edits, and agree with N-HH -- once again Aecharri is adding biographical details that are relevant to the person mentioned, but that are not relevant to the article to which they are being added. It is the same problem that has been raised with Aecharri many times. It seems that Aecharri wants to edit on his/her own terms, instead of in accordance with Wikipedia rules.

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Jacopo Salviati, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Charles V and Gondi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Continuing problems

Following this edit, it is clear you are still insisting on adding unsourced and often tangential facts about people in your own idiosyncratic style. This time I've given much of the substantive content you added the benefit of the doubt and quickly copyedited much of it for style rather than reverting the edit or removing much of the content. Anyway, not for the first time, please note, among other points ..

• Content must be sourced and referenced. Even seemingly trivial facts such as "X taught at Cambridge University in 1876" need verification. You may "know" it to be true and accurate. How does anyone else? See WP:V and WP:CITE
• DO NOT add random tangental information about other people, or random photos that bear little relation to the topic of the article.
• DO NOT add other people's birth and death dates when their names come up in main article text.
• DO NOT leave random spaces between words, before commas etc.

Thank you. I'm being blunt because people keep having to tell you these things even though they are pretty basic. You do not own this site and it is not yours to play with as you wish. N-HH talk/edits 19:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Warning

Please stop your disruptive editing. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in you being blocked from editing. Wow. Within 15 mins of the above notice, you're adding birth and death dates again. In Spanish! Do you take any notice of what anyone else says? Seriously, I'll take you to a board and get you blocked. N-HH talk/edits 20:33, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

More problem editing

The pictures added in this edit are enormous and are disrupting the visual look of the page. The new one is probably a worthwhile addition, but can you please resize and reset them?

This edit appears, in part, to be yet another example of your adding extraneous and often repetitive detail into parentheses. It also broke up well-ordered paragraphs in the lead into scrappy standalone sentences. I will revert this one.

I will continue to query and/or revert your edits until you slow down and take note of what is now an accumulation of criticism and questions from several other editors here. If you continue to be unwilling to respond to or take on board any of that - as you have until now - I will open some more formal process in respect of your editing, such as a request for comment.

Last warning

For I think about the 402nd time now, among other problems, stop adding 1) birth and death dates into the main text of pages about other people; and 2) massive (and often random) pictures into the middle of text. Do you seriously think that this improves the visual aesthetics of the page on Kim Philby? Seriously? If you don't know what you are doing with images, please ask someone for help. I am not an expert on pictures, hence why I don't go around adding them to pages and making a mess. The points that have been repeatedly raised with you are all pretty simple and obvious ones. As noted before, this has long gone beyond overenthusiastic naivety and into wilful borderline vandalism. N-HH talk/edits 15:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ancestors of the Counts of Siruela

The article Ancestors of the Counts of Siruela has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DrKiernan (talk) 13:19, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Continued editing practices

I and other editors have repeatedly pointed out the problems with your edits. They are messy, unsourced and usually written in incredibly poor English. Sometimes they absolutely wreck the visual aesthetics of a page with huge pictures, bare URLs and bizarre formatting - to no apparent purpose - and add utterly tangential and random information. You have never responded directly to any attempts to solve the problem, but simply continue doing what you have always done. As a result, you have been told that the worst of your additions will simply be reverted, and that is what I and others have been doing. You can't complain about that if you ignore every piece of polite advice you are given. Your habit of then reverting in turn the repair of articles only compounds the problem. As noted previously, the next step is a bid to get this account blocked altogether. N-HH talk/edits 10:33, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 16:17, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Adding citations

The easiest way to add a citation to text that you are adding is to put <ref> before and </ref> after the information about the document you are citing. You must make sure that {{reflist}} appears at the bottom of the article under a "References" heading" This will automatically put a footnote in the references section and a superscript number after the text you have added. This number will be linked to the footnote that has been created so that the reader can easily find the information. This is more effective that just adding the information about the document at the end of the article.

There are still a lot of problems with (a) your written English, (b) your insistence on adding excessive detail to the articles, and (c) formatting problems that you are creating. You have to be more careful, or you will be blocked from editing further. Ground Zero | t 17:38, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

There are many procedures in hundreds of programs explained in dozens of languages about "How to", perhaps too many, and hard to locate or even to know when you are just about a normal person and trying to help anyone seeking further information on something or somebody when Wikipedia, for instance opens anything as apparently innocent as a STUB.

People does not seem to realize bed-ridden people, retired people , people flying away of their own reality.....for some time, etc. does not mind to provide a part of their time, former lectures, interest and/or their own knowledge FREE OF CHARGE such an INFO to such curious and philosophical ground breaking institution as WIKIPEDIA.

Unfortunately, let us be frank, too, unprepared "shariffs" with plenty of symbolic 5 pointed stars patrol around barking everyone around willing to help, as dogs do in the British fox hunting seasons, a lot of noise and disconcert either. They are, or seem to be highly stressed because of their own nature in the GAME overreacting perhaps to what is only a relative dumbness in the foxes concerned. We allow for that, but you are the first person in several years bothering to explain to me how citations can be improved, believe it or not.

Further, "sharif" is probably one of the first Arabic words introduced some 9 Centuries ago by ancestors of Richard the Lion Heart not far from Nottingham and 5 pointed stars are/have been used by Arabic countries, Chinese, Cuban, Texas, Morocco, and many other revolutionary countries in the world besides the U.S.A. , Hollywood series westerns and so on.

Therefore, please keep your head cool before boasting about anything enhancing worldwide the well earned curiosity described by the word Wikipedia when talking to someone not as versatile in English as William Shakespeare.

Although you/others mention the word "polite requests by Wikipedia" I am sorry but you are quite wrong and you can ask anyone collaborating or trying to collaborate there. In any case, we do not look forward to be banned for ever because of our feelings and I can only feel satisfied a XX Century witty British Spy Woman and Diplomat , Rosita Forbes, will be better known now than in her lifetime and afterwards, by the English speaking public at last, albeit for the moment as a "STUB" for the time being.

I am Sir, your Obedient Servant, as the well bred British Public Servants used to say during my lifetime, not so long ago either. --Aecharri (talk) 17:20, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

I agree that Wikipedia has a lot of policies and guidelines, and no-one can be expected to understand all of them. I have been an editor for many years, and I am still learning. Wikipedia is now a very large community, and like any large community, it has developed this large body of policies and guidelines to help everyone work together better. When someone refers you to a Wikipedia policy or a guideline, they are usually doing so in order to help you understand why they are making the changes they are making, or reverting the edits you have made.

While Wikipedia depends on the contributions of all of its volunteers like you and me, it is the policies and guidelines that make Wikipedia better. Requiring the edits meet the standards of WP:verifiability and WP:neutral point of view, and WP:balance, for example, results in better quality articles. I know very well that it is frustrating to have your work reverted by other editors – it has happened to me on many occasions. But I have come to accept the wisdom of the community – I am not always right, and even when I disagree with the changes that have been made to my work, I accept that in a community, I don’t always get my way.

I am very sorry to read that I am the first person to explain how to create citations. Wikipedians should do better than that. We should try first to explain how to do things right, and I apologize that I have not provided more advice to you in the past.

I do note, however, that you have not followed advice that has been provided to you, especially when it comes to adding information that is not directly relevant to the subject of the article (e.g., biographical information about other people). If you do not understand how to format pictures so that they appear correctly, then you should ask someone, like the person who is complaining to you of these problems. I don’t know how to add pictures, so I can’t help you with this problem. If there are other questions you have, I can try to answer them. I will add below links to the five most important pages to read to learn about how to contribute more effectively to Wikipedia.

So you should not be surprised when editors turn to more serious measures like threatening to block your from editing to get you to pay attention.

With respect to your written English, I respect you for contributing in a language that is not your first language. I am not proficient enough in any other language to feel comfortable making anything but minor edits in other languages. At the same time, Wikipedia must maintain a standard of writing that is comprehensible to readers, so if a non-English speaker makes edits that do not make sense in English, they have to be removed. I am sure that you can understand that.

Best regards to you, kind sir, Ground Zero | t 21:20, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen

Hi, I was disambiguating your recent edit to Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen. Despite my best efforts I couldn't understand exactly what you meant. by: "The Tunisian Hafsid Sultans were seen at the time by the Spanish Nasri, Portuguese, Genoese, Venetian, French, Castilian and Aragones Diplomats, since around 1270, under Muhammad I al-Mustansir , as the Almohad Arabic speaking business traders located in the Western North Africa between Tlemcen, Algiers, and Tripoli, hindered by the Eastern Turkish-Ottoman navies since the middle of the 15th century."

This seems mostly background information on what an Hafsid king is. And as such it probably belongs on the already wikilinked Hafsid dynasty. In any case I would appreciate it if you could rewrite it in several shorter sentences. Or if you just explain it here, i'm more than willing to do the copy editing.
