Encyclopedia BritanniceHi regarding this edit[1] I'm curious why? When you link to a EB article from Wikipedia, the full article is freely available. If you go to the URL directly, it won't work. You have to click on the URL from within a Wikipedia article for it to work. EB allows this on purpose. -- 71.191.36.194 14:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Resource ExchangeHi, can you please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange, I need your opinion on a big merge concerning your project. Key to the city 12:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC) So, the project I mean by 'your project' is Wikipedia:Library. I thought this was your project because you had the first edit of that page, and a lot of edits following after that first one. Maybe I'm wrong. On the discussion page of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange, I started a discussion about the merging of Library with 3 other projects with a similar goal. Anyways, you can ignore all this if you weren't one of the founders of the Library project. Key to the city 19:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC) Self centeredA "hazzah" to you for deleting that page so fast after I tagged it!

Arm I, p. 660?[2] If so, I think we've already got a transcript (just saving you some work). It says, "The king of Armenia, back from his raid against the Sultan, went to Jerusalem. He found that all the enemies had been put to flight or exterminated by the Tatars, who had arrived before him. As he entered into Jerusalem, he gathered the Christians, who had been hiding in caverns out of fright. During the 15 days he spent in Jerusalem, he held Christian ceremonies and solemn festivities in the Holy Sepulchre. He was greatly comforted by his visits to the places of the pilgrims. He was still in Jerusalem when he received a certificate from the Khan, bestowing him Jerusalem and the surrounding country. He then returned to join Ghazan in Damas, and spend the winter with him." It was accepted as a source by Dr. Sylvia Schein in her 1979 article "Gesta Dei per Mongolos," but rejected by Dr. Angus Donal Stewart in his book "The Armenian Kingdom and the Mamluks", where he called it "an absurd claim" from an unreliable source. I can get you more info and exact cites if you like, just let me know! :) --Elonka 00:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Wikignome Award MfD about the Wikipedia:WikiProject_ROMacedoniaHi, I noticed you voted for the project deletion. I'm sorry I noticed this thing a little bit late, please review my comments on the MfD page here and also here, I think we are going to make a big mistake if we delete a whole project because of the To do page dispute. I'm open for discussion. MatriX 22:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Origin of the Kingdom of MysoreThanks for your copy edits on this article. The article looks much better now. Do you have time to copy edit the Kingdom of Mysore which I plan to nominate for peer review in a week or two. I have two more sections to complete there, which I will in a week.thanksDineshkannambadi 23:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Beethoven-MozartHello Danny, I think you're quite right in restoring the comment Mozart (may have) made about Beethoven -- it's famous and readers will want to know if it's legit. I found, and substituted, what I think is the first printed version, i.e. in Otto Jahn's 1856 book (posted for free on Google). But I'm currently having trouble finding (a) where Jahn got it from; (b) why contemporary musicologists think so little of its credibility that they don't even cite it. It must have been debunked, but who debunked it, and when? Also, since the whole business is pretty messy and takes up space, I made it into a separate article. Yours very truly, Opus33 21:45, 29 September 2007 (UTC) Cultural difference of the term "fag"Why did you delete the "Cultural difference" section in the Cigarette article addressing the highly important and culturallly relevant issue that in Great Britain cigarettes and called fags?

Do you remember that you're an admin in Commons?It seems that it won't last long... MandelstamDear Danny, Once you said: “One contributor, Dmitri Smirnov, is hard at work creating stunning translations of some of the major Russian poets, including Baratynsky, Mandelstam, and Pushkin. Here is just one example: More tender than tender.” However now, because by new Russian law all works by Mandelstam are copyrighted again until the year of his last rehabilitation (1987) + 70 years - that is until 2055. Because Osip Mandelstam had no children and or relatives left, everything is inherited now by the Union of Russian Writers and the Russian State which killed him in a concentration camp of GULAG in 1938. I do not understand why Wikimedia (+ Jimbo himself) support this unfair & barbarous action. For me it also means that I have to destroy about 300 pages of Russian and English parts of Wikisourse as the User:Alex Spade insists. The same problem is with the works by Daniil Kharms and many more Russian authors. What would be your advise??? What is the best solution? Thank you for your attention and assistance in advance. Yours, Dmitrismirnov 10:50, 5 October 2007 (UTC) Homeopathy leadThe homeopathy article is protected. Can you get rid of the extra white space in the lead? Wikidudeman (talk) 17:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC) Hello. The article Night of the Long Knives will be tomorrow's featured article, and due to its "hot-button" topic matter (Nazism), I think that it should be semi-protected for the next day or so. I and others put a lot of work into to making it comprehensive and neutral, and I see it's been anonymously vandalized in the last few day a couple times. Thanks.--Mcattell 18:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC) I see toy are beavering away in there. I have just uploaded this image Image:Tyreconnelfamilyat Belton.gif to replace the fair use image deleted.

Regards Giano 13:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC) I hope I haven't caused any problems by restoring the link to Francis Johnson (architect); this is the correct person. I think the page Francis Johnson (architect 2) only existed for a short while because of some confusion with Francis Johnston (architect).

VeropediaWhat a neat project, I wasn't even aware of it. Thanks for the kudos, free knowledge is a great cause and I would be visiting many of the landmarks even without Wikipedia. This project gives me a chance to share what I learn, and see, really, its pretty fulfilling.

lolVeropedia's been blocked at school, but I'm fairly certain that's because it came up as a false positive. I've submitted it for review. MessedRocker (talk) (write this article) 15:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC) Franco-Mongol allianceThank you very much for your previous comments at Talk:Franco-Mongol alliance#Request for comment. We are still having a bit of a stalemate at the article though, so if you have time, I was wondering if you could offer another opinion? I have created a subpage in my userspace where I have rewritten the article from top to bottom, shrinking it down from 167K to a little less than 70K, removing some of the unreliable sources and less relevant information, splitting other sections out to more appropriate articles, and most importantly, trying to smooth out the writing so as not to give undue weight to certain POVs. My rewritten version of the article is currently at User:Elonka/Franco-Mongol alliance. I've announced it at Talk:Franco-Mongol alliance#Article rewrite, but because this is such an obscure subject, it's really been very difficult to prove that there is consensus for the new version. If you have a few minutes, could you please look over the rewrite, and offer an opinion on it? I am very open to making changes, but I'm in a situation where I basically have one editor (PHG) who keeps saying "no," and no one else seems to want to comment and help break the stalemate. We've been trying mediation for the last month, but without success, and even our mediator appears to have gone AWOL, with no posts for over a week now. I would very much like to find a way to move forward through this dispute without having to further escalate it towards ArbCom, and it's my genuine hope that if we could just get some more editors actually commenting there to prove a consensus, it could help a great deal. Any assistance appreciated, Elonka 17:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the help!I appreciate the assistance on Turks and Caicos Rock Iguana, thanks a million!--Mike Searson 00:01, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:ADGordon.JPG Thanks for uploading Image:ADGordon.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:42, 17 November 2007 (UTC).

Veropedia <> Good articles?I'm having my first look at Veropedia, and I looked at Arch dam, featured on its home page, and compared it to Wikipedia's article. They are, of course, the same. So, thought I, if I look at the article's Talk page on Wikipedia, I will find that this article is a Good Article. Not so. Shouldn't it be? After all, if the selection process that results in inclusion in Veropedia is not marked somehow on Wikipedia, then the dismal Good Article count shown on your user page will improve much more slowly than need be, no? Looking further, Jang In-hwan is rated Start Class on Wikipedia. Is this strange, or am I missing something? -- Mwanner | Talk 21:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Vero?Maybe Göttingen Seven, maybe Christmas tree cultivation (yeah that's mine). Illinois Freedom Bell is the most comprehensive thing on the web about the topic. The Manzanar article is pretty good here, so is Ronald Reagan, and I did two of the related articles: Ronald Reagan Birthplace and H.C. Pitney Variety Store, both part of the Main Street Historic District (Tampico, Illinois). I have a whole series I wrote on Registered Historic Places in Orangeville, Illinois, the article itself I mostly developed as well (all the NRHPs are linked in the village article). Speaking of which, National Register of Historic Places, Historic district (United States) and Contributing property are all decent as well. Many of these I worked on solely and others I grabbed and made not suck, kinda like the internet and Wikipedia. To keep with the blatant self promotion theme of this post, I would also point you toward John H. Addams, John H. Addams Homestead and Jane Addams Burial Site. Just some thoughts on the mission to bring free, verified knowledge to the masses. Sorry I haven't had much time to jump in, to be honest, I am kind of gunshy at the moment, my wiki experiences haven't been the greatest lately. Anyway, hope those few suggestions help, I will come back with more. I also hope this wasn't an inappropriate place to talk about this, I figure 'tis fine considering both projects benefit.

Thanks for the note on the ContestOne last question for you regarding the contest: is it acceptable to add an article or articles to the candidate list? I've a few in mind... Mr Which??? 16:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC) Core articlesI noticed that your list includes Drug addiction (609 pages link here) and Alcoholism. Another article of similar importance and consideration for the list is domestic violence. It's linked to 986 times in Wikipedia. That is a critical article, but of poor quality. It used to be much worse than that [6] before I spent some time on it in June/July. I had put it on hold, as it's a very difficult topic to work on. Someday, I'd like to make it a featured article. Not sure how quick that can happen. But now is a good time to continue work on the article. --Aude (talk) 17:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC) The Value of WikipediaWhile Wikipedia is at 2 million articles and counting, this is no cause for celebration. Many of these articles are having some cleanup, citation or other issue that detracts from the quality of our site. As of this message, we have not even reached 1,600 featured articles and not even 3,000 decent articles. So, out of the sheer madness that we call Wikipedia, less than 5,000 pages have been identified with some sort of decent quality control. This is disturbing to me and it should be disturbing to you. I am not sure what will make the community wake up; a nice cup of coffee, a message like this or a swift kick in the testicles; but something has to be done. Whatever path you choose to take is completely on your own, regardless, we must do the following: Forget quantity and let's get quality. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 08:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC) There are two reasons why Wikipedia is far different and far better than other encyclopedias: (1) It has more articles because more people can and do create them.(2) Its articles are in a constant state of improvement because more people can and do improve them. Featured articles or "decent articles" are not part of the reason. Bensaccount (talk) 19:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC) Veropedia questionHi Danny. In the past few days I've seen a number of references to Veropedia on Wikipedia. Can you help me understand how these references—which include userboxes, Wikipedia:The Core Contest/Entries, and a Veropedia user who carries a link to an an essay about Veropedia in his or her signature that was recently proposed for deletion—do not constitute using Wikipedia for advertising purposes? The Wikipedia article on Veropedia states that Veropedia is "for profit". WP:NOT states "Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any organizations and does not set up affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Furthermore, those interested in promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so."

ArbCom table with portfolio linksHello! As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well. I believe that conflict resolution skills are most pertinent to the position, but if you want to highlight other skills, please feel free to use a new letter and add it to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table#Columns of this table. — Sebastian 05:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Core competitionThis is a brilliant idea. I personally think this should be done more regularly - I am certian we would see a great deal of improvement this way and is gives users an incentive to address what really needs doing and some kind of reward other than barnstars for doing it. The Amazon River and Clint Eastwood are possible ones that interest me. I think of this as kind of like an investment in the project. Have you any articles which you know are shocking? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC) As yet I haven't started on those articles but I'll definately see what SPECTRE can conjure up!! Some of the articles I've found most shockingly sparse on wikipedia or been most disappointed with is articles on regions and districts within countries. Some english villge with a population of 8 people can have a full article and an article on the local church yet entire regions of countries often which cover several million sq. kilometres are barely a few lines long. I strongly agree that people need to focus far more on quality but that isn't to say that there isn't a huge amount missing from the project too. Wikipedia can shock you at lack of development in places and it can also amaze you at how much detail is put into certain subjects which seme trivial. One such example is we have an articles on all the List of Pokemon characters and the Power Rangers yet serious articles like Wildlife of Brazil and Deforestation in Brazil are missing. I remember saying a while back the proportion of GAs 3000 out of 2.1 million really is appalling. FAs are difficult to obtain but there should definately be more of a focus to turn the core articles into at least a GA and many of the others too ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 23:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC) Yes there are tens of such articles I can think of off hand that you;d be amazed are missing. Many of them are overview articles which are seriously needed and highly encyclopedic such as Mining in South Africa, Ecological management in Honduras and by country etc,, (would cover environmental policy in the national parks etc -my cousin worked there for years), Environmentalism in Mexico etc, -basically real world issues which are affecting the planet today . I see somebody has realised how major the missing articles above were -that deforestation in Brazil is one of the biggest problems facing the planet today removing an enormous sink to absorb Co2 emissions. This should quite rightly not only have one article but be split into several articles on this topic alone such as Logging in .... Province etc to be more specific and detailed in exmaining such a topic. Most of the world haven't a clue about Deforestation in Cambodia either -another article I stubbed but I am gradually aiming to write a feature on. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 17:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC) If you would permit me to add some of the articles which I think are core to the list- such as Mining in South Africa (this is a massive industry that affects the world economy) etc this would be a very good ide. I remember starting Mining in Wales (once the worlds biggest coal exporter a while back. The missing articles which provide very important overviews of major issues around the world are not always that obvious but there are hundreds even thousands missing guaranteed and yes it is extremely concerning why these sort of articles don't exist yet when we have tens of articles on the characters of Shortland Street! I strongly agree with you I think its time to reconsider what is important in the world and to an encyclopedia of this magnitude. Hopefully this scheme could be funded on a regular basis and core articles which are either poorly developed or missing entirely can be addressed will give editors an incentive to realise what is important and help at putting it right rather than being impressed by the article count soaring. Is there some wikiproject or something that aims to address this? I think it should be made central to the wikipedia community ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 17:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC) The nearest thing I can think of is the WikiProject GA group. I certainly think it would be a top idea to set up an organized formal project aiming to address the core issues we are concerned with on a permanent basis. When I'm feeling a bit better I think I'll propose something to WP Council and try to get a project set up aiming to highlight the most deficient areas of core articles and aim to set it right in an oreganized way, Hopefully you and many others would support such a move. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 17:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC) Yep no article on Communism in North Korea either. Even in the government and politics of North Korea articles it isn't really covered well. I think I'll aim at drawing up the Deforestation in Brazil article up from scratch. This is one of the most important world issues today so why not start here huh? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 19:10, 26 November 2007 (UTC) I added Loire River -the longest river in france 117,000 km2 and over 1000km long and barely anything solid on it at all. I won't add mnay more as the list is large enough as it is. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 16:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
OK I've begun working on the new article Deforestation in Brazil which was shockingly missing!! Its only in its infancy but I hope I can at least give wikipedia an half decent article on one of the major issues facing the world today. Very concerning this article was missing I think. I wonder how many other important articles are barely beyond a stub or missing entirely! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 23:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Domestic sheepHey Danny, thanks for your copyediting on the article. However, I'm unsure of this dab fix. It doesn't make sense to me. Why change the name for a specific rite to a generalized phrase? VanTucky talk 05:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC) You probably have more experience in this realm than I do, so I'd appreciate it if you could provide an opinion. Was I right to undo my addition of a fair use image here? I would really like to use it, but it seemed to me to be one of the listed unacceptable uses of non-free content. I did provide a rationale, and the film in question is specifically named in the article.

His edits are clearly POV however his beliefs are not idol worship. This has become a common argument that has no basis: when he reffers to the Rebbe with the present tense, that is not avoida zara in any way, even if he reffers to the Rebbe as "King Messiah", that is not avoida zara. You may say he is mistaken, however not that he is doing avoida zara. Perhaps in some comment he said something that was avoida zara, however I did not see any such edit. As the founder of veropedia, it is very important to me that you acknowledge this truth, being fanatically attached to a Jewish leader and even calling him alive after death and believing he is Moshiach is not idol worship.Gavhathehunchback (talk) 20:45, 4 March 2008 (UTC) PorchesiaWhy did you delete Porchesia?
