Battle at Emmaus
I finished the first paragraph after the headline "Battle at Emmaus," and added the section headline "Battle at Emmaus." You can change it and add a cleanup thingy. :(

Battle of Rome, 390 BC
I want to create this article on the Battle of Rome in 390 BC. What do you think? Of course, I have a few reliable sources.

--Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 00:47--Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 00:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC), 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Check to make sure that there isn't an article about it already under a different name, or there isn't a subsection about the same thing. Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 07:08, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I did. There was nothing about the Battle of Rome in 390 BC. There was really no record of the Battle between King Brennus and Camilius.


 * --Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 07:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, that should be fine. Also check Notability, although being a history article I'm not too sure what it would fall under.  I'll have to ask.  Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 07:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It's very notable, I can assure you. It was one of the main contributing reasons why the Roman Legions were developed. It was the predecessor of Marius' legionaries. It practically put Rome's military top dog in Italy. Go Romans! --Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 23:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll work on it. It might take a while, considering no one has really written anything. But I'll try. It'll probably by pretty bad. But I'll try. I would love so say my favorite quote here, but it might be offensive. I'll just Anagram it. GWI!!! --Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 23:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benedict of Constantinople (talk • contribs)


 * Sounds good. By the way, also check WP:TALK (just FYI). You should try to make a personal sandbox, too.   Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 23:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a Battle of Rome. But it's called the Battle of the Allia. I'll just edit that, because it is a bit short for such a decisive battle!--Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 00:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * That's why it's important to check. :)  Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 00:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

History notablity (?) question
What does history fall under in the notablity guideline? I'm not too sure that it applies. Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 07:15, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Though we don't have any specific guidelines for it, I'd say that if it has been covered/researched extensively it would be notable. However, you may want to check with the people at WikiProject History; I'll look around as soon as I get back home from school. Oh, and thanks for the barnstar! :) Master of Puppets   Call me MoP! ☺  13:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * You're welcome! It seems like the notablity guidelines only deal with the recent.  Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 20:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If I may jump in, history falls under the general criterion at WP:N. I would imagine that pretty well anything that happened in 380 BC would either be notable or would have insufficient information to write an article about it, so I'd say go for it. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification :) Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 22:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

about 216.56.27.19...
Hello!

I have two questions:


 * 1) Some time ago, I spotted some damaging edits that seemed to constitute vandalism | here done by 216.56.27.19. When I reached his talk page | here, I was stunned by the list of vandalism warnings that were issued to him, to no avail. This chronic vandalism seems to be intractable (I would in fact go a step further to imply that he is proud of his desctructive edits). Is there a way to stop vandals such as 216.56.27.19 for good?


 * 1) This is of rather less importance: I would like to send out user warnings to vandals as administators can. As an average Wikipedian, am I authorized to issue user warnings?

Thank you for your consideration. --MusicalConnoisseur  Got Classical? 04:56, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It seems that that IP does have a history of vandalism; however, (as noted here), admins usually don't block IPs indefinitely because IPs can belong to a wide array of editors and affect many people.


 * Yes, anyone can (and should) issue warnings to other editors when they vandalize (like here). Template messages for warning can be found at Template messages/User talk namespace.  The templates have 'levels'; if the editor vandalized once, then place a level one template; if the editor vandalized twice, place a level two template etc. If the editor vandalizes after you issue a warning from the fourth level, then the next step would be to report them to Administrator intervention against vandalism.


 * If you have any more questions or anything, just leave a message on my talk page. :) Happy editing,  Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 07:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC) P.S. I'm not an admin, by the way :)

uploading image for Chocola
Hey Midorihana! I want to place an image or a few of them on the Chocola entry page/s. I uploaded an image of an ancient stone drain thinking I would then be able to position it on the page as I wanted. Can't figure out how to do it! Please advise. It is my own photograph from my project. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan Kaplan1938 (talk • contribs) 11:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

MoP
What happened to Master of Puppets? Basketball 110  20:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm his adoptee and we usually communicate once or twice a day, but I haven't heard from him for three days. I asked him a few things on the 17th and 18th, but never got a reply. Basketball 110  21:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Basketball 110  22:01, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping out Basketball110; I feel guilty for abandoning him for three days. Anyway, sorry if I neglected you, too. Cheers, Master of Puppets   Call me MoP! ☺  22:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * There's no problem :) Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 03:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * And thanks for the comment on Wikidude's barnstar. I feel loved. ^_^ Cheers, Master of Puppets   Call me MoP! ☺  22:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thank-spam
, I wish to tender my sincere thanks for your support in my successful request for adminship, which ended with 37 supports, 2 opposes, and 2 neutral. The results of the RfA are extremely bittersweet because of the recent departure of my nominator, Rudget. Hopefully I can live up to his and your expectations. I would especially like to thank Epbr123 and TomStar81 for mentioning that they were preparing to offer me a nomination. The past week has been one of the most stressful weeks in my life, and I appreciate your vote of confidence in me. If you ever need anything, just get in touch. -MBK004 21:06, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Changing the article name
Hey, sorry for not answering fast. I think I'll recover from my holidays and be back to my full editing capacity in about a week. So anyway, I think it's a good idea to change the article name. I had thought about it, but I don;t recall why I didn't bring it up. On another topic, I fixed my sig! XD. -- 23:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey -Midorihana- I just wanted to thank you for your kind words and support at my RFA. I was taken back by the amount of support I received.

RE: Template
Hey there! I'd suggest changing the title to "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology". Also, adding a header to the section with people might be a good idea; title it 'founders' or such. Finally, might I suggest a background colour change? It makes it hard to see the v d e and show buttons. Cheers, Master of Puppets   <font color="#7d7d7d">Call me MoP! ☺  06:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Another user informed me of that and I can't figure out what the problem is... meh. I'll look more tomorrow, must sleep now. Anyway, glad to help and good night! Master of Puppets   <font color="#7d7d7d">Call me MoP! ☺  07:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Some minor trouble
Hey, I've been meaning to make a section in What Is Your Dangerous Idea? about how the book was made, but I can't think of a good title for the section. "Making" sounds too ordinary but "synthesis" is downright nerdy. Any ideas? -- Slarti bartfast   1992   22:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Nick gave me the word "development". I think I'll start the section tomorrow. -- Slarti bartfast   1992   02:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds fine. :) Midorihana ~いいです ね？ 05:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Lol I wrote a couple sentences and then I just didn't know what else to write. I guess it's fine as is (it's not a section after all). -- Slarti bartfast   1992   22:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks just fine, except for a bit of funny wording. There really isn't much to say about the development, hm... I hope I can dig up some sources. Midorihana ~iidesu ne? 06:52, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
