Miguel de Cervantes
I removed the two paragraphs you added to the start of the Cervantes article. That sort of content should go on the Talk page (found via the "discussion" link at the top of the page) rather than in the article itself. In addition, I'm not comfortable with anything that dissuades users from contributing; even if a user's English skills aren't strong, he may have content worth contributing that other users will happily clean up later. | Keithlaw 21:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Project Gutenberg
Criticism is OK, but please make sure that it's adequately sourced - original research ("I've checked X books there and none of them mentions what edition they digitised.") isn't allowed. Also, please use neutral wording - "is blissfully unaware of [...] various versions or translations" is a biased statement (and one that would be hard to prove), "doesn't state which edition or translation the digitised text is based on" would be more neutral. --Six words (talk) 07:23, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page
I replied to your message on my talk page, but I've moved the conversation to the article's talk page as that's the best place to discuss an article. I also noticed that you didn't sign your post, here's some information on how to do that.

When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you and I hope you like Wikipedia and decide to stay. Experts are always appreciated. Just make sure you back up what you write with reliable sources (see WP:REFB for instructions on how to do that). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:33, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring...
Daniel, sorry but please use the article Talk page to discuss edits instead of repeatedly reverting. Repeatedly reverting may be considered edit-warring, and can result in a block, especially if you do more than 3 within a 24-hour period, see WP:EW and WP:3RR. 01:43, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * yes please come talk. Jytdog (talk) 01:51, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Silk Road
Hi Daniel. In the Silk Road (marketplace) article I have removed your edit, "Silk Road has been said to reduce violence connected with the traditional illegal drugs trade." This is because, 1) it is in the "Criticism" section, and it is not a criticism, and 2) it may be true, but it needs a reference, otherwise it is hearsay. - Oniscoid 09:33, 19 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, the new section and the refs are fine, and it's a valid point. Though as an aside, the current annual trading volume of illegal drugs on Silk Road is approx US$50M; whereas the annual total trading volume worldwide of illegal drugs is approx US$500B, (10,000 times greater); though Silk Road may be physically safer for its users, it is unlikely to have a major effect on violent crime statistics. - Oniscoid 15:02, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Nifty erotic stories archive
Hello, Deisenbe,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Nifty erotic stories archive should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Nifty erotic stories archive.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Your recent editing history at Middle Ages shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Repost of Porn for the blind
A tag has been placed on requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page.

Campaign for "santorum" neologism
You need a published source making that observation. We don't just add random comments made by editors to articles. --Neil N  talk to me 18:17, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Why this policy
In answer to your question about "why this policy" at the OR notice board, I pointed you to some better venues to have that discussion. However, in the spirit of discussion, my own answer to the question has to do with Wikipedia's need for verifiability. We are trying to build an encyclopedia that the public can turn to for reliable information. In order to do so, we rely on the fact that the information presented here has been published elsewhere in a reliable source first. We count on the fact that those reliable sources are exercising some level of editorial review so that facts published in them can be reasonably relied on to be true. When users publish their own original research, we have no idea of the validity of that information. Because of Wikipedia's anonymous user accounts, we don't even have a reasonably expectation that "experts" are who they say they are. So, by banning original research, we maintain a higher level of verifiability. Make sense? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 23:04, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Translators of Miguel de Cervantes


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Translators of Miguel de Cervantes, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do, and take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
 * It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Mater lectionis
The use of the word abjad to mean "consonantal alphabet" is a somewhat recent neologism, which is by no means universally accepted, so there would need to be further explanation for it to be used in that article. (Also, "consonant" has no "e".) -- AnonMoos (talk) 04:41, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

It’s sad Sabrina Erdely’s article wasn't better investigated
As a father of a beautiful daughter, I am saddened that Sabrina Erdely’s Rolling Stone article about the alleged gang rape wasn’t better investigated. I think the discussion our society needs to continue having about handling rape better has been hurt because Erdely didn’t investigate the allegations more before publishing. The article could have started a discussion about how to reduce rape on colleges; it has instead become a discussion about what really happened to Jackie. Samboy (talk) 23:12, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Your edits to University of Virginia / avoid edit wars
It appears you bypassed the Talk page where the topic of "A Rape on Campus" was previously discussed and resolved.

Needless to say, please do this if you wish to address this topic on the UVA article in the future, to avoid edit warring. Thanks! Omnibus (talk) 18:50, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Temple Beth-El
Hi, Deisenbe:

Yes, I did edit and patrol Temple Beth-El (Hornell, New York). This meant that I checked the page for errors, possible copyright violations, issues and the like. The message you received was to confirm that I "patrolled" the page and deemed it acceptable for inclusion on Wikipedia. I also added some content on a vandalism incident, sourced from The Evening Tribune. In the future, it would be great if you could add some additional sources to this page for verifiability. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! --The one that forgot (talk) 02:31, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Polyamory
Hi. I'm happy to clarify what the problem is. We cannot make the assumption that all non-monogamous relationships are polyamory. There are other forms of non-monogamy: for example, open relationships, open marriage, and swinging. Polyamory is very specific: all relationships must be love based, which is not true for the other examples.

In addition, we must have a source which specifically calls the relationship "polyamorous". As Wikipedia editors, we are not allowed to draw conclusions: if there is not a source that refers to a relationship as polyamorous, we cannot call the relationship polyamorous. Drawing conclusions from facts is called original research which is not allowed on Wikipedia.

In addition, with respect to living people, a third-party source is not sufficient. For a living person, that person must refer to themselves as "polyamorous" or call their relationship "polyamory", that is, they must self-identify using the term in a reliable source that we can cite in the article to support use of the word. In the case of Robert Rimmer, I don't believe the word "polyamory" had even been coined at the time where he became notable for what he referred to using different terms!

Finally, no categories cannot be added to articles without cited support for the category in the text of the article. In particular, we cannot engage in polyamory activism by classifying relationships as polyamorous simply to build up the category. There must be clear sources which specifically use the word with respect to the subject of the article.

Don Quixote/Don Quijote
Thanks for your note, Deisenbe. Good question. I appreciate that it's inconsistent to spell "Novelas ejemplares" with J, but "Don Quixote" with X — but to my understanding these are both customary usage in English. I take questions like this to the Google Books Ngram Viewer  to see what is the most frequent form. DQ was translated to English in 1612 (Shelton); I speculate that the Novelas were not translated until much later, and that this is the reason for their different treatment.

Nomination of How to learn a foreign language for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article How to learn a foreign language is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/How to learn a foreign language until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 13:08, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Your contributed article, How to learn a foreign language


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, How to learn a foreign language. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Language education. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Language education – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:40, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Template:American Civil War
Please read the Rationale and usage guidelines at the top of the template's talk page. This template has been stable for many years because consensus decided it would be better to have a concise tool instead of a bloated one. Please consider the ample discussion on the talk page about this. Many of the entries you are adding are only mildly connected to the subject; if we were to allow every possible entry the template would have thousands of links and be practically impossible to use.

Thanks for your offer and recent edits
I warmly welcome your offer and would appreciate it a lot if you check the language of the article and make the expression more efficient. The said article is quite large already and could definitely use some condensing, where it would not result in losing any information. I mostly aim to the text being understandable and count on native English speakers to do the fine tuning. Unfortunately not many editors have been too interested in doing that, so thank you very much for stepping in. Please exercise caution when editing, so that the article won't lose any relevant information. There were two paragraphs that were altered after your recent work in a way which in my opinion gave bit wrong impression how the registration level/length is determined.The Overview section said: ″In some states, the length of the registration period is determined by the severity of the crime; in others all registration is for life.″ For all what I know, the severity of the crime is not determining factor in vast majority of state states. The conviction offense is. Eg. 18 year old recording otherwise legal sexual encounter with his 17,9 year old partner has committed "production of child pornography"- offense which under AWA requires tier 3 level and means automatic life time registration period. In rest of the states it falls under category of "child sex offense" which often requires life on the list. Recording a rape of a toddler is also "production of child pornography" as it should be and requires tier 3 and life registration. Anyone can see these two acts are not from same moral universe. Latter is severe crime, when the first one would be considered a petty offense by any reasonable person. Yet, both fall into same category in judicial sense. That is pretty much the problem with US systems, they do not generally allow any review on the actual severity of the crime and this is what the readers should understand. Other than that, I salute you for your contributions. I will be expanding constitutionality article soon, please feel free to improve the language. PS I'm fine with Flyer, and she seems to be fine with me at least most of the time. She rightly disciplined me almost a year ago when my edits were admittedly very POVish.

Criminal law template

Speedy deletion nomination of Brutal Raps 1: Sex & Lies


A tag has been placed on Brutal Raps 1: Sex & Lies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.  PK T (alk)  02:40, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Re:Deletion
In response to the tagging of the Brutal Raps: Sex & Lies article for deletion on G11 promotion grounds you wrote: This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... The publisher of these records no longer ecists, 24 years later. There is nothing to promote. I do not know any of the artists or anyone involved with this album in any way. However that fully not fully address the matter of the alleged promotional material. There were sources or 2nd/3rd party material given in the article, and in the absence of outer information to check against the material listed here it seemed unlikely that the article could be improved beyond that which was already present in the article to begin with. That being said, I am open to restoring the material and either 1) nominating for afd for community input, 2) moving to the draft space for supervised rebuilding, or 3) userfying the material for you to rework for publication. If you'd prefer to see the matter of the article's fate debated rather than summarily executed I have no objections, I just need to know which open you would like to go with.

In that template, the page number is specified with the "page=##" parameter.  As for why the button was grayed out, I've no idea.

 * Because it's formatted as an external link with spaces; external links should use the URL (which may not contain spaces): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_school#State_Normal_School.2C_Normal.2C_Alabama As an alternative, you could use a wikilink to the section, created without the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ prefix and with double square brackets:  will be displayed as Normal School.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland 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 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 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! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:42, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Desisenbe, I am curious to know why you inserted "Dominicans" in this articles history paragraph (1st). The incorporated "Compagnie de Saint-Domingue", is in French not Spanish as Dominican would have referred to people from the Spanish colony on the eastern portion of the island known as (Captaincy General of) Santo Domingo (modern-day Dominican Republic). Colony-born in Saint-Domingue (the western French colony) were known as Creoles. Either way, in this case using a demonym would be considered original research. I've found no citation that could source this. Savvyjack23 (talk) 00:35, 1 March 2017 (UTC)


 * This is the sourced used . Notice that when "Saint-Dominge" is translated to English from French, it is not translated to "Saint Dominic"; instead Santo Domingo which would create some huge confusion. From time-to-time I continue to see Santo Domingo or San Domingo used in various areas when it should refer to the French colony of Saint-Domingue. Savvyjack23 (talk) 00:39, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

In view of the fact that the last stable version on the article used "Christianity", not "Catholicism", and in view of strong opposition on the talkpage, you should not have reverted to a contested version on Judaism and sexuality.

Disambiguation link notification for April 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cisgender, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Transjordan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: Voseo
I don't think the isolated areas of voseo theory is so universally accepted to just put it in the Voseo page as a plain fact. After all, cities such as Maracaibo or Bogotá were not so isolated. On another matter, I think it's better to discuss such questions in the article's talk page, not in the personal talk page, so that other editors can have a say, too.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of monuments and memorials of the Confederate States of America, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:07, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

I would like to suggest
that when you change the name of an article, as you recently did at Monument and memorial controversies in the United States, that you discuss it on the talk page before doing it. This change actually effects the scope of the article and that is (opinion) not one editor's decision to make. As it turns out I agree with your change so this won't be another scrap like what is going on over at Talk:List of monuments and memorials of the Confederate States of America, but as a mater of process please consider it in the future.

Straight-Out Democrats
Hi. I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve by moving the Straight-Out Democrats redirect to the title "Delete me" (and then moving the resulting new redirect to "Delete me too"), but that's not the way to get things deleted at Wikipedia. If you explain here why you think it should be deleted, I'll be happy to guide you to the appropriate procedure. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:36, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Reconquista IP intervention
Hi, hope you are doing well. You may have noticed that an IP is trying to revert some information from the article. I have not reverted automatically when it is reasoned, although it looks pretty WP:OR, but he is removing your claim that Portuguese historiography did not talk of a 'reconquest'. I kept that statement based on your claim and your academic research and CV. I defended it but it is not supported, and the IP is removing it, so I suggest you reply and preferably add a citation, else s/he may go ahead with it.

Linking to Spanish Wikipeda
I should mention that, if you think the Spanish Wikipedia has useful content not available at the English Wikipedia, you can translate it yourself or make a request. Linking to a Spanish article in the "see also" format is inappropriate as the assumption is that those link to content that readers can access and understand. Linking to non-English sources thus upsets the experience for readers not proficient in Spanish.

RfC at Robert E. Lee
As a recent contributor to Talk:Robert E.

The primary source is a 1856 letter of Lee’s to his wife from Texas as found at Alexander Long, Memoirs of Robert E. Lee: his military and personal history (1886), p. 82-83.

de facto
I agree with your edit to Racial segregation in the United States. Please have a look at hypersegregation, which I believe is a neologism more inflammatory than useful.

Lambchoppers (Florida)
In the 1950's and 1960's, there was a fierce battle over reapportionment of the Florida Legislature. Those who favored the status quo were known as the "porkchop gang," or porkchoppers, because they were committed to pork, not principle. The pejorative name is attributed to James Clendinen of the Tampa Tribune. Their opponents, who favored the implementation of "one man, one vote" apportionment, were known as lambchoppers. See http://dspace.nelson.usf.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10806/120/Schnur_James_Cold_Warriors_SunlandTrib.pdf?sequence=1 which describes that era and uses the term lambchopper.John Paul Parks (talk) 20:05, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Airports for antique aircraft


The article Airports for antique aircraft has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Article has no encyclopedic content and the intro is unclear as to the subject of the article but unlikely to add anything to the encyclopedia of worth"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 14:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC)


 * I feel strongly that this is a useful category and should not be deleted. But I was too narrow - see the latest (possibly temporary) aerodromes added. In the U. S., and to a lesser extent (because there are less hobbyist aircraft) in Canada and Mexico, aerodrome has a different meaning than in any other country. (See the second paragraph of Aerodrome.) It means a would-be airport that does not meet requirements in some way: runway too short, no fire equipment, no lighting or signage, no perimeter fence, things like that. So they are for hobbyists: antique planes, which were usually small and able to land on unpaved surfaces, and now I find ultralights and waterplanes, and probably gliders, using aerodromes.


 * So what I’m going to do, unless you feel more time for discussion is needed, is write a new article Aerodrome (U.S.), and I’m renaming this category Category:Aerodromes (U.S.) At one point I thought it should be North America, but on further reflection I think it’s helpful rather than wrong to call it a U.S. usage, with a little spillover. I have not removed the proposed deletion notice. deisenbe (talk) 15:52, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
