[edit]

When you said that the Spanish Navy uses tanks, were you referring to the Spanish Navy Marines? Or are there actually sailors driving armor about? bahamut0013wordsdeeds 09:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient History - Barbarosa, Suleiman, Invasion of Malta, etc.

[edit]

Good morning Catalan: I am a new Wiki member and am looking for a mentor. I am also involved in writing a novel set in the AD 312-337 time period. My interest in editing on Wikipedia arose yesterday when I tried to get information concerning "galley slaves" and was shocked to find so little about them. Under that category only Greek and Roman galley slaves from the 1500's forward are discussed. And their lives are pictured as tea parties compared to a book on the subject, Empires of the Sea, Siege of Malta, Battle of Lepanto, and the Contest for the Center of the World by Roger Crowley. 2008

So, my interest, (by the way, I am a retired person) is Ancient History. Aside from this gap in Wikipedia's data base, I figure I can contribute additional bits and pieces of world history,as I come across the data and be of service to you. I have no agenda, other than insuring that subject matter from an historical viewpoint is comprehensive.

I would be interested in talking to you about this. --Actxiom101 (talk) 15:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Economics census

[edit]

Hello there. Sorry to bother you, but you are (titularly at least) a member of WP:WikiProject Economics, as defined by this category. If you don't know me, I'm a Wikipedia administrator, but an unqualified economist. I enjoy writing about economics, but I'm not very good at it, which is why I would like to support in any way I can the strong body of economists here on Wikipedia. I'm only bothering you because you are probably one of them. Together, I'd like us to establish the future direction of WikiProject Economics, but first, we need to know who we've got to help.

Whatever your area of expertise or level of qualification, if you're interested in helping with the WikiProject (even if only as part of a larger commitment to this wonderful online encyclopedia of ours), would you mind adding your signature to this page? It only takes a second. Thank you.

Message delivered on behalf of User:Jarry1250 by LivingBot.

Firstly, thank you for signing the census, and an apology if you are one of those editors who dislike posts such as this one for messaging you again in this way. I've now got myself organised and you can opt-out of any future communication at WP:WikiProject Economics/Newsletter. Just remove your name and you won't be bothered again.
Secondly, and most importantly, I would like to invite your comments on the census talk page about the project as a whole. I've given my own personal opinion on a range of topics, but my babbling is essentially worthless without your thoughts - I can't believe for one moment that everyone agrees with me in the slightest! :)
All your comments are welcomed. Thanks, - Jarry1250 [Humorous? Discuss.] 17:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you get a chance can you please stop by and state what has been done to address them. As the ACR was commenced on 1 June, it will be scheduled to be closed on 29 June so if you can address the comments soon it should still be able to be promoted. Cheers.

Adopt-a-user reminder

[edit]

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:

  • If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
  • If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.
  • You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter here.

Cantillon

[edit]

Hey Mac, long time no see. I tried to look over the article, but to be honest it's somewhat far outside my safety zone of MILHIST. The biography stuff was fine, but I just started glazing over with the economic theory doodahs as I don't really understand a word of economic theory. However, economics aside, it looks like a polished and well-researched article, so I can't see it having any problems. If you do ever decide to do some more MILHIST work, ping me if you need a review or some copy-editing. I'm not hugely active, but I'll make sure to spare some time.

Welcome back

[edit]

Been a long time Mr. Catalan. It's good to have you back.

Also, I'm gradually reading my way through a lot of your articles both at Mises and Economic Thought. You clearly know your stuff, though I am finding myself disagreeing with large chunks of it (which I suspect is mostly due to ideological differences. Socialists and Libertarians don't tend to see domestic economic policy along the same lines...). Irregardless, welcome back to the 'Pedia. Cam (Chat)(Prof) 03:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Things are good on my end. I've just started into my first year of a double major in Global Politics and History at Carleton University, which is great fun, but lots of reading, writing, more reading, more writing, and even more reading etc etc. I'll be around the wiki as much as time allows.

Thanks!
Well, my goal is to write an article on business good enough to be on WP. That is good in English and content of course.
I still don't know what it would be about, the topic is part of the project. So if you come up with any suggestion it would be great :-D I'm on it too.
Right now I try to understand how WikiProjects work. Maybe there is where I can place my future article.
If you could help me with some advice first on what you believe a good topic would be for WP (based on your experience, I mean, for it no to be deleted afterwards :( ) I would appreciate a lot. Then I could start my research. Be sure I'll come to you and ask for your opinion.
That's for starters :-D
Thanks again!

Hi! As I'm still getting familiar this wikitricks to contact people around, I answered your message in my page. I wanted to ask you where do you prefer us being in touch, your page or mine. Whatever is more practical and comfortable for you is OK.

M22 Locust

[edit]

Not a huge amount to be honest, as all the info is in there that I can find. It just needs a good copy-edit to make sure it passes FAC criteria for that. Might have to check all the references have the i's dotted and the t's crossed. But at the moment I really don't feel upto doing an FA; I'm trying to get back into wiki, but FAC is a harsh business at the best of times. Skinny87 (talk) 08:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have Flint with me at the moment, which contains the lions share of the info on the Locust, but I can get it out of storage in a little while. Did you want to take it to FA at some point then? Have we finally lured you back to MILHIST? Skinny87 (talk) 08:13, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
December seems like a god time to take it to FAC, plenty of time for me to re-gather my sources and get it copy-edited. Shame the grant didn't come through for you - what is the source, by the way? Was it hugely expensive? Skinny87 (talk) 14:24, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An update from adopt a user

[edit]

Hi there Catalan! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.

On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.

Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.

Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

If you think that it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs).

Cover of the Ludwig von Mises's Institute new edition of Essai.

Richard Cantillon (1680s –1734) was an Irish economist and author of Essai Sur La Nature Du Commerce En Général (Essay on the Nature of Trade in General), a book considered by William Stanley Jevons to be the "cradle of political economy". Although little information exists on Cantillon's life, it is known that he became a successful banker and merchant at an early age. Essai remains Cantillon's only surviving contribution to economics. It was written around 1730 and circulated widely in manuscript form, but was not published until 1755. Despite having much influence on the early development of the physiocrat and classical schools of thought, Essai was largely forgotten until its rediscovery by Jevons in the late 19th century. During the late 1710s and early 1720s, Cantillon speculated in, and later helped fund, John Law's Mississippi Company, from which he acquired great wealth. Cantillon's entrepreneurial success, however, came at a cost to his debtors, who pursued him with lawsuits, criminal charges, and even murder plots until his death in 1734. (more...)

Thanks for the review! I think that's the first time I've ever had a "hands-off" GA nomination :-)

I saw your note about the sourcing. This was my original worry about the article (well, that and how to handle 1940s racial terminology, which can be awkward) - I really wasn't sure if it would pass or not given the limited sourcing. The main problem is that there's not much else out there - they mostly get passing mentions in general histories of the early-1945 fighting, and those mentions are usually either trivial (they merely confirm what Lee covers in more detail) or personal recollections so riddled with errors as to be of very dubious validity. Always a difficult call! Shimgray | talk | 19:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Cantillon and Ballyheigue

[edit]

You have done a great job on improving the article on Richard Cantillon. Kudos for that!

I have noticed several unsourced claims in the Ballyheigue article that relate to Richard Cantillon or the Cantillon family more generally. If you should happen to have sources that would source the assertions, it would be helpful if you would take a look and consider adding them. Cheers. N2e (talk) 05:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of tanks in the Spanish Civil War

[edit]

I'm so sorry! i'm a rather new editor and didn't thought that that wikibreak talked about in the last review was a permanent one. My sincere apologies. I was going to re-nominate it, but i barely did any work on it at all (just the niggles mentioned in the review) so i was apprehensible about it. I think it would be best that you re-nominate it as early as possible and if the reviewers detect any issues i could pitch in in fixing them. Good luck!--Macarenses (talk) 05:56, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Main page appearance

[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on December 28, 2010. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 28, 2010. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The Lince was a Spanish main battle tank development program during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was intended to replace the Spanish Army's M47 and M48 Patton tanks which it received through a military assistance program between 1954 and 1975. The Lince was also intended to complement the AMX-30E tanks manufactured for the Army during the 1970s. Focusing on mobility and firepower, the program put secondary priority on protection and aimed for a tank lighter and faster than its competitors. The vehicle's size was also restricted by the Spanish railroad and highway network. To achieve a sufficient level of firepower and protection, given the size requirements, the Lince was to use Rheinmetall's 120 mm L/44 tank-gun and German composite armor from the Leopard 2A4. The Spanish government decided to upgrade its AMX-30Es in the late 1980s, which distracted attention from the program. The Lince was eventually canceled in 1990 when Spain adopted a large number of North American M60 Patton tanks retired from Europe in accordance with the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.
