Re the website http://www.populationparty.org.au/ which I have re-edited today 3 March 2014:

The URL no longer corresponds to this Party's new name, viz. the Sustainable Population Party.

I do not know how to fix this. Could some more experienced editor please transfer this webpage to a new URL corresponding to the Party's current name?

Thanks.Marcasella (talk) 22:31, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments at Talk:Emilia Lanier

Hi Marcasella,

Regarding your two recent posts to Talk:Emilia Lanier. You've placed these inside a topic headed "Shakespeare authorship" started in 2008, and which, I believe, refers to the Shakespeare Authorship Question. Unless you specifically intended to reply to the editor commenting in that section, it would be better to place your comments in a new section, with a heading that reflects the gist of your comments. That way we can keep threads of discussion organised and people will better notice your comments. Also, if your two comments are addressing separate issues, it would probably be a good idea to put each in their own section so that any discussions that follow are kept on topic.

If you would like assistance with moving the comments, or how to create new sections and so forth, please feel free to ask (I'd be happy to help). Also, if you reply to my message here you may wish to use the {{ping}} or {{re}} templates (they're aliases of each other and work the same) to make sure I get notified of the reply: {{re|xover}} → @Xover: [1]. This will generate a notification (in the little bell menu at the top of the page) for me; unlike a reply without it where i would have to notice it in my Watchlist (where I will certainly look for it, but where it's very easy to miss when you have a lot of pages on your watchlist). --Xover (talk) 11:18, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Xover: Hi Xover. Yes i would appreciate advice on how to create new sections within that Talk page, and how to move my comments into it Marcasella (talk) 12:06, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For future comments, to create a new section on an article (or user) Talk page, you can usually find a button labelled "New Section" at the very top of the page (a little to the right of the "Read" and "Talk" buttons). When you press this you should get a page with two text fields: a single-line one for the topic (what the heading will be), and a bigger one for writing your comment in. If you do it that way your comments will go in their own section.

To move the existing comments to their own section, you can instead press the "Edit" button. This will give you a text field with the wikicode for the whole talk page. Here you can find your comments, cut them using your normal text editing shortcuts (typically Ctrl+C or Cmd-C), then scroll to the very bottom of the page to paste them. You can then add a heading to each or both of them by typing it in surrounded by double equals signs, like so: == My heading ==.

Note that there are some settings in the Preferences of your user account that may affect the details here. For instance, one setting changes the "New Section" button to read just "+" (to save space), and others may enable the "Visual Editor" (a rich text editor that makes editing Wikipedia more like using Microsoft Word rather than using formatting codes like ==) which will change whether you see text fields or not.

Apart from the obscurity of manual formatting codes, you should be able to figure a lot of it out by just guessing; and since all old versions are preserved, it's really easy to restore an old version if you make a mistake. Give it a try, and send me a "ping" if you run into trouble.

PS. Another tip: the convention on talk pages here is to use indentation to show that a comment is in reply to a previous one. You can use a colon (":") at the very beginning of a line to indent one level; two of them ("::") for the second, three (":::") for the third, and so on. It's not a big deal, but it helps keep discussions readable and easier to follow. --Xover (talk) 12:38, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Xover: Many thanks Xover! Have done so. Marcasella (talk) 14:49, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Square brackets not producing the normal display.

At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crollalanza_theory_of_Shakespeare_authorship

the first Note is displaying as

"Shakespeare, l'inglese di... Valtellina"

What am I doing wrong?

Actually, you showed the solution above: the first one is correct, the second has a newline character in it - hard to see if the text line-wraps at or near the same point. I fixed it for you. --NSH001 (talk) 09:28, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shakespeare Authorship Question: Crollalanza's fitness

 Why should Crollalanza have needed a pen-name?

   Proximity1 (talk) 10:56, 23 April 2017 (UTC)proximity1[reply]

Crollalanza's fitness for what?

Why did he need a pen name? The accounts of him vary in their explanations for his double change of name. This was from Michelangelo Florio to Guglielmo Crollalanza (i.e. a transfer to his mother's surname, with in some versions also a change of first name, said to be done before he reached England, and intended to throw the Inquisition off his trail) and then secondly from Collalanza to Shakespeare. I don't think any of the varying accounts of this nebulous person describe any of his names as a pen name. (Authors who use a pen name normally keep their own name in daily life). So the suggestion is that in England he both lived and wrote under the name of Shakespeare. But in Iuvara's version there seems to be only one change of name: he presumably arrived in England perhaps as Michelangelo Florio, joined his mother's kin in Stratford, who had already assimilated and anglicised their name to Shakespeare, and allegedly took on the name of a cousin called William who had died in childhood. I don't think it is suggested that he tried to conceal his Italian origins by changing his name. Marcasella (talk) 16:16, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

March 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to George Pell, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 12:14, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Smallpox Epidemics among Aborigines in Australia from 1789 to the 1860s: Uncertainties and Debates

Hello Marcasella,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Hughesdarren, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Smallpox Epidemics among Aborigines in Australia from 1789 to the 1860s: Uncertainties and Debates, for deletion, because there's already a page about that topic at [[2]]. Please don't be discouraged; we appreciate your effort in creating new articles. To avoid this in the future, consider using the search function to find pages that already cover what you want to write about.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hughesdarren}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

@Hughesdarren:Thanks for your work, Hughesdarren, and tactful remarks. I've placed a reply, which I think will appear on the Talks page there. Cheers. Marcasella (talk) 13:20, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Marcasella

Thank you for creating Smallpox Epidemics among Aborigines in Australia from 1789 to the 1860s: Uncertainties and Debates.

User:Jack Frost, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Hi Marcasella, what a fascinating article! Thankyou for expanding Wikipedia's coverage of Aboriginal Australians with such a thoroughly researched work. At the moment it is very much written in the academic paper rather than encyclopaedic style; I've left a tag on the article, and it seems you're still working away at it. When you're done and think it might be helpful, let me know as either myself or another editor might have a crack at a copyedit? Thanks again!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Jack Frost}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

@Jack Frost:

Thanks Jack Frost. I would appreciate that. It may take me half a week to get this page reshaped as a free-standing article. I will try in the process to make it less academic, and will then look forward to your comments. Marcasella (talk) 12:47, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jack Frost:

Re the Smallpox page's current state, and a comment on its Talks page:

Jack, I've done what I can to improve the article, and have explained its current state at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Smallpox_in_Australia#Removal_of_the_%E2%80%9CMultiple_Issues%E2%80%9D_notice?

The article itself is now at Smallpox_in_Australia I would appreciate your input.

Smallpox in Australia

I have only had a very very brief glance at the revised and new articles, but on face value it looks like a lot of work well done. The only comment I might make at this point, and it is a minor one, is that some of the 'further information's looked a but repetitive? Aoziwe (talk) 09:42, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoziwe: Thanks. Well spotted. Will fix at History_wars#Controversy_over_smallpox_in_Australia. Marcasella (talk) 13:41, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than just remove some of the repetitions, it might mean you need more granular sections in the target arrticle? Aoziwe (talk) 22:04, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
