Re:I'm Confused

Someone on your IP range (likely someone in your neighborhood) edited Wikipedia in an abusive manner. I imposed the block to prevent this user from creating multiple accounts to disrupt Wikipedia. Unfortunately, at times, these blocks can affect good users, such as yourself. I apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you log in to your account to edit.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Vicar. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Cognate247 (talk) 09:41, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Black tie, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Suit (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.

BC vs. BCE

Your contributions are greatly appreciated by the Wikipedia community at large, but please be aware that arbitrarily changing the era notation (i.e. BC to BCE) of any given article is not appropriate as per the guideline outlined at WP:ERA. Both the Common Era and Anno Domini notations are equally acceptable for use here, and the guideline for arbitrary change is in place to avoid unnecessary conflict. Please note that I have also replied to your comment at Talk:Byzantine Empire here. Thank you. — FoxCE (talk • contribs) 22:49, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ionian Islands under Venetian rule

Hello! First of all, thanks about your edits. The information you added about Venice was really necessary! The problem is though that you didn't cite any sources, so I will start searching myself. But the info you added on the fourth crusade is not at all necessary, as this article is about Venetian period on the I.I. and not about the venetian-byzantine relations or the fourth crusade. Anyway, thank you very much for your edits! You are welcome to make any other correction you want but don't forget to cite your sources! Amicably, --Marcofran (talk) 06:11, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"elided into"?

I know of no meaning for 'elide' that would fit with your edit to Parlour. Perhaps you meant 'glided' or some other word? Shenme (talk) 03:01, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Byzantinism may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it.

Your edits

You seem very confident about your edits, but I notice they are often very dubious, always completely unsourced, and sometimes change the meaning of referenced material without changing the reference. This is an especially egregious example (long reverted of course). Please be more careful in future. Johnbod (talk) 12:58, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I reject the merit of this snotty comment, which is simply false in a number of ways. The "egregious" example cited is, in fact, quite proper. It changed a footnote referencing a specific book and page so that the statement more accurately reflected what the cited author said on the cited page of the cited work. (Oh, and it HAS NOT been reverted, by the way.) TheCormac (talk) 01:08, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense, the text now says "The deposition of the last emperor of the west, Romulus Augustus, in 476 has traditionally marked the end of the Western Roman Empire.[12][E]" with a note about Julius Nepos. You changed "This is the date of the deposition of the last western Roman Emperor" to "This is the year the last western Roman Emperors were driven from Italy", which manages to introduce two errors, as Julius Nepos was driven out in 475, and Romulus Augustus remained in cosy retirement in Italy for years, if not the rest of his life. Wickham agrees with the original and current texts but not at all with yours. You're proving my point here. Johnbod (talk) 19:58, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your reading of Wickham is fanciful in my opinion. He specifically says: “The year 476 is the traditional date for the end of the western empire, at the overthrow in Italy of the last emperor, Romulus Augustulus, although 480 is an alternative, for Romulus’ predecessor Julius Nepos Held out in Dalmatia until then.” Which does NOT comport with the sentence construction you defend. Your point that my attempted revision (which as I said before, stands and has not been reverted as you asserted) could be misleading in another (less vital) way is fair. I will attempt to revise the sentence to improve it further. It seems to me that you might, in the spirit of the wiki project, merely have done that yourself and assumed good intent rather than shout snotty lectures from glass houses.TheCormac (talk) 16:21, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Vatican Museum Artemis.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Vatican Museum Artemis.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
