Regarding your edit to Francesco Patrizi:
[edit]Your recent edit to Francesco Patrizi (diff) was reverted by automated bot. You have been identified as a new user editing a page that experiences malicious edits by banned users that continue to edit via shared IP ranges or open proxies. Since these ranges are too large (collateral damage) to be blocked and user's IP addresses are not visible, edits to this page by logged-out editors of server or shared IP ranges and new users are reverted. The changes can be reviewed and restored by established users. // VoABot II 20:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Proposing to merge List of basic classics topics to Classics

UCFD
[edit]I have nominated a category you created, Category:Wikipedians Walking Mancunian Way, for deletion. I'm not quite sure what it is supposed to be used for. Perhaps you can contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion. Thanks, VegaDark 22:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- No worries, if in case you accidentally create something again you can place "{{db-self}}" at the top of the article and an administrator will delete it. VegaDark 23:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Human sciences vs Humanities
[edit]I saw that on March 9th, you moved sh:Category:Humanističke nauke from Category:Human sciences to Category:Humanities. And you changed the links of that category in the sh: WP. The way you proceeded is fine, because you treated the links in the right places. However, I'm concern of the translation. Humanističke nauke should logically translate to Human sciences, even though in the en: WP, the category is not used in the proper way. In fact, Humanities is the category that should include Human sciences, and not the other way around. Humanities are more or less Human sciences combined with Art and Litterature. (I'll try to correct that situation, but in this WP, it's hard to change these things.) If the sh: WP plans on including categories relating to art, then your move was right. Otherwise, it should be reverted to represent the exact translation and link Humanističke nauke to Human sciences. Don't you agree?
Regards. — Robin des Bois ♘ ➳ ✉ 18:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for such a quick response and for your explanation of the proper translation. In the light of your arguments, I would suggest that we insert a short comment (both in English and in Serbo-croatian) in the category's talk page to avoid the confusion. We have to keep in mind that in many languages, Human sciences are often confused with Humanities and with Category:Social sciences (that should include politics, anthropology, ethnology and sociology, for that matter). Generally, what litterally translates to Human sciences in other languages does not include arts. Many people (and bots) might make the mistake I made. I agree that the interwiki links should always consider the semantics, as you seem to suggest, and not the content of the categories, a subtlety that no bot can understand...
- Regards. — Robin des Bois ♘ ➳ ✉ 21:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. Are you the user who sent me this nice note in the French WP?
- Good then. I will leave it that way. But if you have the time, would you be able to insert the above mentionned comment in the category's talk page? I can't write in your language. Thanks for your concern. And yes, I feel very welcome in this WP. I'll do my best to improve it as much as my time and knowledge allow. Robin des Bois ♘ ➳ ✉ 21:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello. I'm in agreement with the recent revert you madeon Wii. Not sure if you already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Best regards, Funpika 20:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image (Image:Wikipedia-logo-sh.png)
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Wikipedia-logo-sh.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:37, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

The Ephesian school
[edit]Since you wrote the article about the Ephesian school: do you know any publication or website, preferably book or other such publication, where information about the Ephesian school can be found or where the school is mentioned? I haven't found any information about it in any of the (mostly swedish) books I've looked in and I've only found one or two sites on the internet mentioning it (where this information don't appear as obviously taken from Wikipedia).

Regarding your edit here: You should watch out what you are reverting to. At any rate, the IP removed the material again and I'm strongly inclined to agree with that removal of unsourced and poorly worded material. — aldebaer 16:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I wrote the sentence: "In the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, which are Crown dependencies rather than separate realms, she is known as Duke of Normandy and Lord of Man respectively." into the article.[1] So, I'm aware of what they mean, but other readers do not. They should not have to click on a link to find out. It should be explained in the article. DrKiernan (talk) 10:34, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. And how dare you speek to me? Zelim vam da umrete. Ziveo Vukovar! Zivelo Sarajevo! Zivela Srebrenica! --Igor Windsor (talk) 21:22, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- The Doc is correct, you may have breached the 3RR limit. GoodDay (talk) 00:17, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
- For the benefit of non-Serbo-Croat speakers, "Zelim vam da umrete" means "I want you to die". Igor, please see our civility policy at Wikipedia:Civility. Such language is inflammatory and uncivil, even when an attempt is made to disguise it. DrKiernan (talk) 09:03, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not too impressed with that expressed wish, now that I know what it means. GoodDay (talk) 17:34, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Liverpool F.C. wiki
[edit]Hello, I am the lead sysop on the Liverpool F.C. wiki. It is a wiki dedicated solely to Liverpool F.C.. We aim to make the ultimate database for the club we all love. Since adopting the incredibly inactive wiki about a month ago we have greatly increased the article count and modernized it from it's previous state. The problem is there are not many active members on the site and we need more for the site to properly grow. It is well organized and on it's way to be a great site we just need more editors to expand. It is based on Wikia's network of wikis. Like Wikipedia it is free to use and the editing process is exactly the same. If you know how to edit Wikipedia you will know how to edit the Liverpool F.C. wiki. Now for the question you may be asking yourself. Why edit there? Wikipedia has articles on Liverpool. This is true. At the Liverpool wiki it is all about Liverpool. We allow editors to edit anything about Liverpool no matter how trivial. We allow edits on reserve and academy players, and even things as trivial as the fitness coaches for the year 2011. We also do not lock pages to registered users. That means if you have something to say about Steven Gerrard you can click edit and not view source and actually write something. I would love for you to come by and check the wiki out. Feel free to edit any page. Every time you click edit your ARE helping this wiki grow. Thanks for taking the time to read this! http://liverpoolfc.wikia.com/wiki/Liverpool_FC_Wiki --Coffeeclub213 (talk) 17:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Nomination of Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia for deletion
[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. eh bien mon prince (talk) 01:55, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Igorwindsor. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Igorwindsor~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]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! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:05, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
