Moved article
Hi Grshiplett, I appreciate your work creating this article. For the time being, I've moved it into your own userpace at User:Grshiplett/Saul Ascher, where you can continue to work on the translation from the German. In general, an article shouldn't be created in the mainspace until it's somewhat ready for "prime time," e.g., no comments like "I'll add the content soon." You can move it back whenever the article's ready to go. All the best—  Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 06:30, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Some sources for Serrano people being massacred
At Talk:San Bernardino, California, I supplied some sources regarding the fate of the Serrano people in San Bernardino in the 1866–1867 time frame. Binksternet (talk) 21:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Regarding "Please expand the tables"
Hello. I see that you have filed a request in Talk:Comparison of notetaking software but have forgotten to mention exactly what you want. Please complete your request. It would be greatly appreciated if you be clear, concise and to the point. Thanks in advance. Fleet Command (talk) 20:48, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Marina Tsvetayeva
Thanks for your thoughts on the Marina Tsvetayeva article. I have copied my article talk page comments here. I would be happy to talk further if you fancy discussing sourcing in further detail. Span (talk) 00:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * quote: "USSR stamp featuring Tsvetayeva (1992)". This caption may be incorrect: are we saying the stamp was designed before the demise of the USSR? Am I wrong in thinking the USSR no longer existed after 1991? G. Robert Shiplett 14:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Robert, I imagine the stamp is so titled because this is the description given to the file. "Thsvetaeva USSR original stamp 1992". It's entirely possible it is wrongly attributed. Please change to what you think it should be and note it on the talk page. Span (talk) 23:56, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

McDuff and others provide no links to Russian originals (and his English book lacks any list of originals) - and wikisource in English is no better so I suggest a link such as http://www.stihi-rus.ru/1/Cvetaeva/ which is a list of links to pages with a total of some 140 of her poems. I find that fr.wikipedia.org and de.wikipedia.org are often doing a better job of assisting a reader wishing to see the original poem (although it is as difficult to find originals of poems in many of their pages as well, for example, haiku.) Poetry translations with no pointer to the source are regrettable: in prose it may be excusable. G. Robert Shiplett 14:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the problem is coming up with a solid scholarly source for the poems and their translations. Is Stihi-rus anything like that? From what I have seen of their website it doesn't seem so. There were private, personal webpages giving translations which are not considered reliable. When you say "Poetry translations with no pointer to the source are regrettable" do you mean that the examples of poetry given in the article should point to source in Russian? An editor who speaks Russian, has access to reliable sources for the original texts and is willing to spend time working on the articles of Russian poets would be a valuable editor indeed.

Asian elephant
I reverted your edits to Asian elephant. The paragraph you added did not cite any sources. Wikipedia is not a reliable source. If the other Wikipedia articles do cite reliable sources, then you can use those sources to support material you add to the Asian elephant article. -- Donald Albury 15:38, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. - Balph Eubank ✉ 20:25, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just a reminder that it's better to sign comments as described here with tildes, than to write your full name and the date - it gives other editors a link to your profile (so that they can leave you a message on your talk page if they need to), and it shows unambiguously which user made the comment. It's also a little quicker! --McGeddon (talk) 10:08, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Re:Talk:Ogura Hyakunin Isshu
Hi, I just noticed your comment on the talk page for this redirect. I have replied to it, but I am concerned that you may not understand the issue. I was not interested in "deleting" anything. The redirect is standing in the way of a non-controversial technical move that I was trying to perform. The article should be located at Ogura Hyakunin Isshu and Hyakunin Isshu should be a redirect. In order to preserve the edit history in its correct place (the article), it is necessary to delete the current redirect first. This is required by Wikipedia policies regarding copyright and attribution. Your post implied that you understand that "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu" is the primary name of the work, so I don't think we will have any problem, but if you like we can discuss the move at Talk:Hyakunin Isshu. (However, I request that you do not simply oppose the move in order to preserve your edit history on a redirect page, as this derailed the move last time.) elvenscout742 (talk) 03:46, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
