On consolidating pages

Hello Maxim. Tangental to our discussion about consolidating the vicariate/exarchate pages, I wonder: do you know how to fold one article into another? I ask regarding a different article: there have been two entries for St Paraskevi, which I recently consolidated together. I turned the duplicate article into a redirect, but it stays as a separate article on the system. Is that the way things must be, or is there a way of getting rid of it?

(We wouldn't want to do so with the exarchate/vicariate issue, if we go that way; this is as I say a tangent).

You know, I've never actually tried to delete something. I have a tab for moving things, but not for deleting them. I think deletion has to go through one of the processes specified on Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion. But, from what I can gather, I think it's quite normal for a duplicate article just to be left as a redirect. Maxim662 15:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merging Vicariate article into Exarchate article

Maxim, I've made the merge discussed on the talk page of the vicariate article. Have a look at the new Exarchate article, which contains the vicariate text, as well as a new section on the history of the Exarchate. Does this look right? If so, we can probably go ahead and convert the standalone vicariate text into a blank redirect to the Exarchate article. —Antonios Aigyptos^talk 18:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me! I modified slightly the headings, and then realised it looked better the way it was before. I think it would be good if, over the next while, the historical section were expanded a little, and a subsection added on the breakdown of the Exarchate on the Continent; that will offset the slight lop-sidedness of the article at present.

Orthodox Church and NPOV

Hi, Maxim662. If the article about the Orthodox Church is given the longer title 'Eastern Orthodox Church' only because of NPOV complaints from others, I believe WP:NCON gives it the right to use the shorter and easier to link name (i.e. Orthodox Church) for more details, please see my comment bellow your vote at: Talk:Roman Catholic Church. Best Wishes. --Leinad ¬ »saudações! 16:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note on adding full Eastern Orthodox Project to your watchlist

This is a note for members of the Eastern Orthodox Project: Since the project's main page has been converted to a portal-style box format, each of the boxes is actually its own page (you can see the page outside its box by clicking the 'Edit' link on any often the section boxes on the project page, which takes you to the edit page for its contents). Because of this, updates to individual box contents will not necessarily show up on editors' watchlists, if you've only got the main project page watched.

In order to keep up to date with all updates to the Project and its pages, I'd recommend adding each subpage to your watchlists. These are:

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy - The main Project page
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Intro - The introduction to the Project text, in the top box
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Scope - Goals of the project text
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Subsections - Listing of Project sub-areas
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Tasks - Main listing of pages, etc., needing work
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Templates - Listing of Project templates
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Participants - Listing of members
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Related - Listing of areas related to Project
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Notes - Notes on Project

If you add all of the above pages to your watchlist, you should be informed whenever any part of the WikiProject Eastern Christianity is edited/updated. To discuss this, please see the relavent section of the Project's talk page. —Antonios Aigyptos^talk 09:23, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use image in user namespace

Hello! You have used a fair use image in your user namespace (User:Maxim662). Criterion 9 of the Wikipedia:Fair use criteria states that "Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are not covered under the fair use doctrine." I have removed it on these grounds. Sincerely, --Oden 17:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How can a picture which is more than half a century old and in public domain be copyright? In future please inform me rather than unilaterally deleting items from my user page. Maxim662 08:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright in most jurisdictions lasts for the life of the author plus some number of years (70 in the US, for instance, which applies to Wikipedia, since it is hosted in the US). Nothing is in the public domain unless either explicitly released to the public domain by its author or it is released by its copyright expiring.

Well that's okay then. The picture was taken in 1931.

Also, whoever you are, please don't delete comments left here by others.Maxim662 00:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
