PIMSRight, sorry! I didn't realize I deleted the names as well. Adam Bishop (talk) 08:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC) Hi, I notice that when you merged information from these articles that you also blanked the pages. Please do not do this during an AfD; content should remain visible in articles until the conclusion of the AfD process since blanking the pages makes it harder for the articles to be evaluated and some editors may not realise that the pages have been blanked. In article merging it is common practice for pages to be redirected. However, that is a separate process. TerriersFan (talk) 22:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC) Hello Dr. Thomson: I linked the name using the French form; an article had already been written back in 2006. Thanks! If you ever need any research help, please let me know. I work at the Library of Congress, where we have a large collection of things mediaeval; and I have contacts at Catholic University of America (Frank Mantello, whom you might know...); ave valeque! Peter --FeanorStar7 (talk) 15:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC) Blanking talk pageHi, I notice that you are regularly blanking your talk page. Though permissible, it is not recommended since it makes it harder for other editors to follow discussion threads. A better approach is to periodic archive the page - see WP:Archive. HTH. TerriersFan (talk) 19:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC) MedeshamstedeHi, I see that you are a member of the Wikiproject: Middle ages, and that you are an active editor. I have recently helped a little with the article on Medeshamstede, with a non-expert peer review. I think this article should be rated 'B' class, or at the very least 'Start' class, following the considerable work put into improving it, chielfy by user:Nortonius. I would assess it myself, but lacking any expertise in the subject area, I feel that would be inappropriate. Therefore, if you can spare the time, I would very much appreciate your assessing it and rating it (as B or Start). The work is still in progress; after a time, it should be worthy of a GA review.

History of Science WikiProjectRon, Nice to see you on Wikipedia; it's a useful place for us retired academics to present our insights to a broader audience. I see that most of your edits have not been in your professional field, but in case you want to get involved, you might want to join the Wikiproject dealing with the History of Science. Another historian of medieval science would be most welcome to help retain some balance on articles. As you may have noticed, there is a current tendency for some editors to go overboard in trying to compensate for the perceived neglect of Islamic science. That's a politically sensitive, and time consuming project and I would understand if you don't want to get into that area; I've somewhat backed off the more general articles myself. Anyway, glad that you're involved. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 19:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Igreja de Sao RoqueHi Ron, I found your article on the Sao Roque church of Lisbon wonderful, you should consider nominating it as Featured article. However, I had already written an article on this church, called São Roque Church (Lisbon), some time ago. The one I wrote is much less complete and less referenced than yours, but somehow we need to blend the two, perhaps incorporating the photos and other details from mine into your article, which is much more authoritative. I know you are new to Wikipedia: when starting a new article, it is always advisable to search extensively for similar articles, so as to avoid making duplicates. It would have been perhaps much easier to have edited the preexisting article than starting anew. Best wishes, Fsouza (talk) 14:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC) Wow, I didn't know you were writing a guide to the church and museum! When I visited the church the museum was closed, unfortunately. In the church I got a small guide which was actually just a sheet of paper, but the info was very complete and accurate. The blending you did looks right to me. I'm going to clean the other page. If I get more photos I'll try to add them. Cheers, Fsouza (talk) 01:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC) Garcia FernandesHey, many thanks for your corrections. Please feel absolutely free to change whatever you find is wrong in my contributions. I try to do my best but I'm not a specialist and my bibliographical resources are rather scarce. Actually, I don't even live in Portugal and finding info is difficult, particularly on Portuguese painters. Concerning the St Roque guide, I've got the Portuguese version (it was 2004), which looks very nice to me. Good luck with the new guide. Cheers Fsouza (talk) 22:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC) OláOlá Ron B. Thomson. Poderias dar a tua opinião em [1] pois o artigo não tem a visibilidade e os esclarecimentos que tem em PT [2] . Cumprimentos. Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Madeira work groupHello Ron B.

ResponseTo your comment at the AFD of Greater Europe. The reason you ave for deletion was "per nom". I am sorry but this does not qualify as a reason, since if you cared to check the history of the article, you would have seen that the reasons given for deletion in the nom no longer apply to the current article, as has been pointed out by another user. 78.146.235.129 (talk) 20:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC) Winter Kept Us WarmI'm not particularly interested in getting into a disagreement about it; I know only what the sources that exist on the web said. If they're getting it wrong, that reflects badly on them. Bearcat (talk) 15:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Antonis MorI originally noticed the image was obstructing the text above it and also a series of section edit blocks were appearing out of order at the bottom. I had seen this happen before when a number of images are placed one after another. I first moved the last image to the right and that corrected the problem on my browser (Firefox). But someone else using a different browser reverted my change because it looked worse on his. I then re positioned all the images and tested it with Firefox, IE and Chrome and that had solved both issues AlexGWU (talk) 02:32, 11 August 2009 (UTC). War Edition at DiliUsers J. Patrick Fischer (talk) Merbabu (talk) and Darwinius (talk) are removing systematically the symbols of the city alleging they are not used anymore. The problem is that they doesn´t quote any relevant source to remove the symbols and prove they are not used anymore, despite there´s a law supporting them. I gave the data, he is disputing it, just for personal taste. Domaleixo (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.41.242.19 (talk) 14:22, 21 March 2010 (UTC) Pedro I of BrazilHello, Ron. You seem quite interested in Portuguese history. I was wondering if you have access to high quality pictures of Emperor Pedro I of Brazil (King Pedro IV of Portugal)? To be more precise, I've been trying to find, for some time now, a good quality version of the painting made by John Simpson (1782-1847). There is one awful uploaded version at commons (File:29- Imperador Rei D. Pedro IV - O Soldado.jpg) and that's not even the full painting. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 20:15, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Peregrinus De Maricourt Astrolabe ChartsHello, I am wondering if you can provide a source or more information about the image you provided on the Peregrinus of Maricourt page (the diagram on back of his astrolabe). It is quite different than other astrolabe charts and I am very interested to know what the charts were utilized for. I can't find and translations for most of the labels that appear in the actual image. Thanks very much for you input and time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.120.114.144 (talk) 19:31, 3 October 2012 (UTC) ?? Can you identify yourself please? RBT

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II X.jpgThank you for uploading File:Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II X.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 22:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC) Hi, Europe 10,000 Challenge inviteHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!
