User talk:CSvBibra

Hi, I noticed you're doing quite a lot of work creating biographical articles - good work! You might consider adding your articles to categories as you create them - this helps with organising Wikipedia. I've already added your Lorenz von Bibra article to a few categories, but you would be better placed to know what ones are the most appropriate. You can find a full list of categories here, and if you want more info about using them, you can find it here. Cheers! Martin 04:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

License tagging for Image:Scherenberg.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Scherenberg.jpg.

Bibra biographies and request for the family Sparneck
Hello CSvBibra, this morning i have discovered your work in English and I was very pleased to find so many pictures to illustrate the German article. I am planning to translate your biographies from the prince-bishops, but besides I am very busy at the moment - I will do it the next weeks. Perhaps you could help me with my main theme: I was born in Sparneck and the knights of Sparneck were directly related with the family Bibra, that is why I am especially searching for coat of arms from the Sparneck at Bibras monuments and I am interested in the further context of that relation. It is Johann (or Hans) Christoph Erdmann, who married Domicilla Marie Christine von Bibra on 20.06.1706. Their children were the last carrier of the name Sparneck (ended 1744). They owned Trausnitz and Reuth in the Oberpfalz. Perhaps you will take a look at my article "Sparneck (Adelsgeschlecht)" in the German wikipedia, here you can find links and with Trausnitz another impressive castle. I also recommand "Liste fränkischer Rittergeschlechter". I am trying to underline the community of the franconian knights including their families and bulding bridges over (gone) borders to Thüringen and the Tschechei. With the end of the cold war and the bitterness of WW2 now history is in my eyes a signal to remember togetherness and to create neighbourhood. Archives and researchers are slowly putting their knowledge together. More over the communism didnt like nobility. Documents about Sparneck are spret from Dresden to Prag. I tried to add your picture of the coat of arms at St. Leo church in this Bibra categorie, but I am not sure how to add the categorie after the upload. If you have any comments, please use the discussion of my German account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.56.98.17 (talk) 20:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello CSvBibra, please do not hesitate to upload a picture of the grave in Irmelshause or send it to me per email. Every new trace would be a sensation for me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.245.226.186 (talk) 06:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello CSvBibra, meanwhile I translated 3 Bibra articles and 1 Scherenberg article. Are there any further articles of franconian nobility without a corresponding article in German? Because of the Wikilinks I placed on other sites I expect all these articles growing the next time (with some patience). I would be glad hearing from you for the Sparnecker Wappen. I will close the gap between the two Bibras with an article about "Konrad II. von Thüngen". I have only a few information, but it is a beginning.

Liste fränkischer Rittergeschlechter
Hello CSvBibra, in the German wikipedia is a nomination for "Liste fränkischer Rittergeschlechter" as a worth reading list. I hope you support this with a positive vote. You find a link at the end of "Liste fränkischer Rittergeschlechter". I think this is for making the theme more popular. Peter Braun 84.56.123.143 (talk) 14:36, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello Peter, the article referenced has greatly improved in recent days and I am excited about all the work you have done on it. I particularly like the new table.  Unfortunately, I am a little shy about contributing to a discussion in German because of my inadequate German skills.  Images and photos in German, I can handle.  Paragraphs, that is another story.--CSvBibra (talk) 22:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Stanford Co-op
I saw that you have a connection to Stanford University and was hoping that you (or someone you know) might have some information to add to the Chi Theta Chi article. I wanted to give it a chance before proposing it for deletion. Do you have any sources for it? &mdash;ScouterSig 21:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The only information I have to add is that in from about 1980(or before)to sometime in the 90's or even later, they had a speed limit sign in the upstairs window which was changed from "Speed 55" to "Speed $5". This seems like a strange thing but the altered sign was the defining characteristic of the house for years which stood out whenever one drove by on Campus Drive.--CSvBibra 23:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

.. for the nice images at Astheim Charterhouse - I see that you took the photos as well! (I meant also to thank you a long time ago for the plan and extra information about Würzburg Cathedral). About the v Bibra cat at Astheim, I feel churlish for taking it off, but am not sure that the family connection is strong enough to justify it, unlike the Schwarzenberg connection.

Guttenberg
I undid this edit because it repeated text ("in his hometown, Guttenberg is by courtesy styled Baron (Herr Baron, "My Lord Baron") and known as simply "Herr Baron"). Also, Herr Baron is the form one would use when addressing him directly (by tradition), while "Der Baron" (The Baron) is a term used (at least in Guttenberg, Bavaria) when referring to him in third person.

Jeane Dixon birth date/year
Hi would you please take a look at the Jeane Dixon article. Someone change the year from 1904 back to 1918 claiming that it is original research. I wish the editor left a comment on the talk page. I feel she was born in 1901 not 1918. Thanks-RFD (talk) 19:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Cressy, Tasmania
Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from. This is much appreciated, but unfortunately your repair was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.

Ritter vom güldenen Sporn / equites aurati
Hallo Kresspahl, Tomkater und CSvBibra,

Auf der Diskussionsseite des Artikels Ritter vom güldenen Sporn (equites aurati) habe ich dargelegt, warum ich den Artikel für problematisch halte: equites aurati sind kein erklärungsbedürftiges, irgendwie neues Phänomen des Spätmittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit, sondern "eques auratus" ist schlicht ein von Humanisten geprägter lateinischer Ausdruck für "(zum Ritter geschlagener) Ritter".

Es reicht völlig, "eques auratus" als lateinische Entsprechung von Ritter ebendort anzugeben, was ich eben mal probeweise getan habe.

Kann ich Euch als Hauptautoren für eine Löschung des Artikels gewinnen?

Grüsse Th. Schmid (talk) 18:42, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

My German is not good enough for full discussion in German on the German Wikipedia discussion page. In the case of English page which I have done extensive work, we had the problem of the term being used in several contexts: HRE & Middle Ages, later in the Catholic Church and later Great Britain. The topic is divided on between Knight of the Golden Spur (HRE) and Order of the Golden Spur. As far as the related terms “Eques auratus”, “Eques aureus”, “Equites aurati”, “Miles auratus” and “Eques auratus Sancti Romani Imperii “: they are handled imperfectly with redirets.--CSvBibra (talk) 22:51, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

My understanding is that "eques auratus" is Neo-Latin, coined by humanists around the middle of the 15th century to replace standard Middle-Latin "miles" for "knight", because they recognized that in classical Latin "miles" meant "foot-soldier" (cf. Lorenz Böninger, Die Ritterwürde in Mittelitalien zwischen Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit, Berlin 1995, especially pp. 172, 231f.). These humanists seem also to have recognized that the ancient "eques" wasn't exactly a "knight", so they added "auratus", referring to the knightly privilege of gilded equipment / wearing a gold chain. "Eques auratus" then became the standard term for "a knight (who was actually knighted not just born into a knightly family)". So, there was no special order of equites aurati - anyone knighted by a sovereign (including the Pope), or by an imperial/papal count palatine, or by being admitted to a knightly order was an eques auratus. At some later point confusion about the added "auratus" seems to have arisen (possibly because classical Latin "eques" alone was more and more used for "knight") which then led to the actual establishment of the papal Order of the Golden Spur. Therefore, equites aurati aren't some new phenomenon, they are just knights. Th. Schmid (talk) 21:54, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks greatly.--CSvBibra (talk) 22:44, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Request for opinion
Hi CSvBibra: Sorry to trouble you, but I could not help but notice your expression of affection for TOS on the Wikipedians who like Star Trek: The Original Series page, and so I would be curious of your thoughts on the notability of a Star Trek author for whom I just created a Wikipedia article -- which may be promptly destined for the trash pile. As a newcomer here at Wikipedia, my first article attempt was indeed recommended for deletion within hours of its creation by a senior user named JzG who seems to me to be overly hostile and dismissive of Star Trek, calling it fancruft (= trivial, obscure, of importance to just a tiny group of fanatics). Since you are a Trek fan, if it is also your good faith opinion that my subject is in no way deserving of an article on this site; and you could let me know, I would feel much more comfortable with the justice of the pending deletion action. My proposed article may be seen here, assuming you visit the page soon enough ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Gurian Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 05:20, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

User group for Military Historians
Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
