Roman categories

Hi, glad to see you hacking on Roman stuff! My theory on Category:Ancient Romans and Category:Roman emperors is that they should only be for articles about individuals, the idea being that as subcategories of Category:People, one could merge all the subcats of people recursively and thereby generate a complete list of WP bios. So I'd rather see people-related stuff be put in other cats, and certainly under Category:Ancient Rome there are plenty to choose from... :-) Stan 05:32, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Further to that, if one thing is a subcategory of another, then you don't need to link both categories. Like Category:Ancient Roman women is a subcategory of Category:Ancient Romans, so you only need the Ancient Roman woman category. Similarily, Category:Roman empresses is a subcategory of Ancient Roman woman, so you only need the empresses category. Adam Bishop 01:24, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Arthur Stone

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm puzzled by your reference in Historical basis for King Arthur (an article I'm surprised has existed for so long without my knowledge) to the inscription found at Tintagel that read "Artognou, father of a descendant of Coll, has had this built". Examining my references for this part of Britain (viz., Elisabeth Okasha Corpus of Early Christian inscribed Stones of South-west Britain, and C. A. Raleigh Radford & Michael J. Swanton Arthurian Sites in the West), I find neither of them mention this inscription. Could you provide more information about this intriguing inscription? -- llywrch 02:49, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi, if you are very keen on creating a category for roman women *at least* make it a sub-cat on Category:Ancient Romans and remove all the girls from one to the other. As it is, being categorized in both, its just silly. Regards, [[User:Muriel Gottrop|muriel@pt]] 10:26, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I cleared up the doubled categories in the Roman girls. It was such a mess. Even Zenobia was there... Cheers, [[User:Muriel Gottrop|muriel@pt]] 21:14, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

More categories

Hey again, more about categories - if we really need a Category:Justinian Dynasty, it should be a sub-category of Category:Byzantine Empire, and then you don't need both categories on the same page, just the Justinian one. See? Adam Bishop 22:13, 30 Nov 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:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

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:

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:

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)

Hi. I see that somebody marked this image you uploaded as {{unverified}}. When you have time, can you add an appropriate license from Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags ? Thanks! --iMeowbot~Mw 13:53, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Article layout

Please put interwiki links at the very bottom with categories above it. Two of your edits: [1] [2]. See my edit afterwards for what I mean. Cburnett 01:00, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

Ten Thousand (Greek)

Well done that was an article which needed to be written. Philip Baird Shearer 11:42, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, the Anabasis is perhaps my favorite book of all time, and I'm surprised that no one wrote an article for the Ten Thousand yet. I'll have to start making articles for the generals, next. Kuralyov 19:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Palpatine

Recently, you made the following addition to Palpatine:

Several fans have noted how similar his appearance in the original trilogy is to Pope Benedict XVI, and in the prequels to U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman (although the former is certainly just coincidence). [3]

Please cite your source, because of today's current events, some might view this addition as vandalism. Thanks. Zzyzx11 | Talk 01:27, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Also if you do not cite sources to that addition, people might view it as either a personal attack or POV. Zzyzx11 | Talk 01:34, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Kuralyov, could you please use the edit summaries as recommended by Wikipedia:Edit summary? Specifically:

Always fill the summary field is one of Wikipedia's guidelines. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Accurate summaries help people decide whether it is worthwhile for them to check a change.

They are also very useful when trying to review changes to an article over time. Thank you for your cooperation. — Jeff Q (talk) 06:55, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I ~~second~~ third this request. Please include edit summarries. It is very tiresome to other editors to have no indication of what an edit was about without doing a diff. Thank you very much. Johntex 23:26, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Revenge of the Sith credits

Thank you for lending a hand in the correction of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith credits. Let's keep an eye on that page... I certainly have been doing so for weeks. Copperchair 8 July 2005 01:29 (UTC)

Please be aware that you have violated the WP:3RR at this article. This is a blockable offense (24 hour block), but I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you were unaware of the rule. If you revert it after this warning you will be temporarily blocked from editing. violet/riga (t) 8 July 2005 22:12 (UTC)

Sorry, I am kind of new around here. Thank you for your link to the info and for your understanding. It will not happen again. Copperchair 05:59, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
