Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Here's some tips:

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela. 12:22, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)

Indo-Greek Kingdom

The dates you gave for the Indo-Greek kings (a) seem rather short for birth/deathl and (b) are all divisible by 5, so presumably are estimated. It would nice if you could follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) when giving dates, for example instead of

Diomedes (95 - 90 BC)

you could write

[[Diomedes]] (reigned c. [[95 BC|95]]–c. [[90 BC]])

(assuming that those are his regnal years and that they are not known exactly) which would come out as

Diomedes (reigned c. 95–c. 90 BC)

The idea is that the links to the years provide historical context. Gdr 22:30, 2004 Jul 27 (UTC)

Greco-Buddhism

Good info, but there's still some work left to be done, i feel, i'd like to see more on the interaction of the cultures, and what happend in the end with the Greeko Budhists. GeneralPatton

Ptolemy I of Egypt

Hi - I'm catching up on past edits, so sorry for delay in asking, but I see that you have been replacing BCs with BCEs in Ptolemy I of Egypt. Is this wiki-style, and I just don't know it? -- ALoan (Talk) 23:00, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment - I'm not sure that replacing BC with BCE and AD with CE really achives much in the way of avoiding a "strong Christian orientation in datation" given that the date of the transition from BCE to CE is the same as that from BC to AD (and in any event, everyone agrees that Jesus was not born at the end of 1 BC / beginning of AD 1). There must be a Wikipedia recommended practice for dates. (Just for the record, I have no particular axe to grind on the Christian front, it is just that I am much more familiar with BC/AD, so it takes me a second to translate BCE/CE.) -- ALoan (Talk) 23:31, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Coin pictures

You uploaded some pictures of some coins. The image description page says that you and the copyright holder agreed that it was fair use for non-commercial purposes. This makes absolutely no sense. Could you please read the Copyright FAQ and explain to me exactly what you had in mind for the license those pictures should use. →Raul654 06:37, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

Attalus I

Hi, FYI: I've just done a major rewrite of Attalus I, since you were a contributer to that page, I though you might like to know ;-) Paul August 05:37, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

Corrected Image for Atttalus I

I see you corrected the image of the coin depicting Attalus I, great!

I have some of questions:

  • Shouldn't Attalus Image:AttausI.jpg be moved to say "Image:Philetaerus.jpg" and Image:AttalusICorrected.jpg moved to say "Image:Attalus I.jpg" (I would prefer the space between "Attalus" and "I" if possible, or with an underscore if not)?
  • I don't know of an image of a coin of Philataerus yet, so I would recommend against putting Attalus instead. You can change image names with the "Move" function, it's fine.
  • Also for both images, you give: http://www.snible.org/coins/hn/syria.html as the source of the images. I can find neither image on that page, I wouldn't expect to since it's the "Syria page". I looked for the images on the "Mysia page" here: http://www.snible.org/coins/hn/mysia.html, and I found the the Philetaerus coin, but it's a "side-by-side" image not the "top-and-bottom" image like the one in the article, did you manipulate it?I couldn't find the Attalus I coin. Can you point me to the page(s) for the images you uploaded?
  • You'll now find the exact references in place. Yes, I did dome paste work for vertical layout.
  • Done. By the way your new intro to Attalus is great. Regards.

Can you add a copyright tag to Image:MIKASA&TOGO.JPG, please? For example {{GFDL}} if you took the picture and you are prepared to licence it under the GFDL; see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags Gdr 17:40, 2004 Nov 1 (UTC) (And for any other images you uploaded; this was the one I noticed.)

DYK

I'm going to be updating the Did you know section shortly, and I'd like to inform you that I will be saving your article "Hasekura Tsunenaga" for later as there is another image I'd like to feature as well. It seems a waste not to use the pic from your article so expect to see it in about 12 to 24 hours. (if your article was in fact written on Nov. 22) [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 08:49, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Your article is now on the front page (with picture). Enjoy! [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 21:57, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

foreign merchant at the silk road

Hello PHG! - I liked your long-nose-picture from the article Silk Road ! - I sharpened it a bit and uploaded it to [1] - Thanks for your license! - The picture is now also in the article de:Seidenstraße. Greetings! --Sputnik-de 22:17, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)


Shimonoseki photo

Thank you so much for uploading that photo! --Historian 23:40, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Commons

Hello - just to let you know, that I've moved your images of Mikasa to Commons here and here - changing "jpg" to lower case. Pibwl 21:55, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Battles of the Imperial Japanese Navy

That was quick! Only six minutes between my writing Indian Ocean raid and your linking to it... Gdr 22:55, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

Good work on the Agathokleia article!


Did you know has been updated
and a fact from the article Agathokleia you recently created is now featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page, or be bold and update the DYK template yourself after reading the rules there.

Indo-Greek Kingdom 2

Could you please suggest me, if you have any in mind,books or sources about the archaeology and history of the Indo-Greek Kingdom?

Kapnisma 14:42, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi PHG, I've recently nominated the fine article Buddhist art for featured article status, and, as you seem to have written most of it, you probably would like to participate in the discussion about it at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Buddhist art. Thanks for your good work here.--Pharos 05:07, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
