File:Anna Roemers Visscher02.jpg
Hello! I was just reviewing File:Anna Roemers Visscher02.jpg and I wanted to follow-up with you. For the future, it's better to create a new image if you're uploading something completely different with a different licensing history, as you were in this case. Also, I visited but nothing there made it clear to me that the museum's high-quality image was in the public domain. Could you please direct me to where that declaration is? Thanks, Mackensen (talk) 14:54, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, it is the same object, just a free photo from https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/BK-NM-8186 as i mentioned, click there on "More details". I didn't want to create many similar images as separate files, my upload was just an upgrade. Besides, there is an ongoing donation from the Rijksmuseum to wikimedia, already ~ 100.000 images transferred.


 * Could you put please the hi-res image back? Thanks a lot, kind regards, Hansmuller (talk) 10:17, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It's available already from Commons: File:Engraved rummer - Vincens tu - Anna Roemers Visscher - Rijksmuseum - BK-NM-8186.jpg; there was no need to upload it here as well. Mackensen (talk) 11:22, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The time sequence was the other way around: at the English wp i found a small image File:Anna Roemers Visscher02.jpg with the wrong "fair use" license. Next day i solved the problem on Commons by the upload. Now there is a small image with the wrong license - you checked? - at File:Anna Roemers Visscher02.jpg. No "fair use" complications needed there! Could you please redress the license and image? Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 08:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Wikimedian in Residence BoF at Wikimania 2017
Hello!

My name is David Alves (User:Horadrim~usurped), and I'm an Wikipedian in Residence at RIDC NeuroMat (User:Horadrim). I've reach your contact through the Wikimedian in residence page in Outreach. As you may know, Wikimania 2017 is coming! I am here because, as a fellow WiR, I believe this would be a great opportunity for us to share experiences, discuss difficulties and exchange solutions, creating a community among us capable of supporting in other projects that would benefit from residents. In that sense, I have submitted a proposal of a Birds of a Feather activity to Wikimania that you can check out here. I hope to count with your support in this project and would like to invite you to join us if you participate in Wikimania. In case of any doubts, please feel free to contact me, either in my talk pages or by e-mail at david.alvesoutlook.com.

Thank you very much! ‎Horadrim~usurped (talk) 00:33, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Hague Academy of International Law Renaming
I noticed that you previously renamed the Hague Academy of International Law article which I was a substantial contributor to, and I was wondering if you would support renaming the related List of Hague Academy of International Law people article, and related categories, Category:Hague Academy of International Law and Category:Hague Academy of International Law people. Please feel free to contact me if you support renaming the article and categories.--TommyBoy (talk) 01:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * @TommyBoy Thanks for your interest! Yes, i support renaming them, i could do it (* do you want me to? or do you do it, ok of course) but then in that case i need to be sure that i am not going to mess things up, so could you please state (again) what the correct name is, you are expert on this subject? Cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 09:24, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Considering that you renamed the main article to The Hague Academy of International Law, the List of Hague Academy of International Law people article should be similarly renamed. With regard to renaming, we may need to check with another user more familiar with Wikipedia category naming conventions.--TommyBoy (talk) 01:35, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

@TommyBoy I trust myself with category conventions after creating lots of categories etc. without protests or hassle, so that does not need to be a problem. To other users it will be clear what we are doing and why. Good day, Hansmuller (talk) 10:02, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Following up on my previous comments, I have initiated discussions on the affected article and category Talk pages in order to encourage further discussion from our fellow Wikipedians on the subject, and I would encourage you to share any further thoughts you have on this discussion on the Talk pages for List of Hague Academy of International Law people, Category:Hague Academy of International Law, and Category:Hague Academy of International Law people.--TommyBoy (talk) 01:04, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Laminar flow in the Victoria Falls
Thanks for clarifying! I was playing it safe because the article said nothing about waterfalls, barely even suggesting that laminar flow could occur in nature, it's all plates and pipes and aircraft wings. If waterfalls are a schoolbook case of laminar flow, the article should definitely give that some text and sources. I had a brief look for sources to write something up myself, but was only finding artificial indoor waterfalls which are designed to produce a curved sheet of water. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:54, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Lord Belbury . It is just that laminar flow is the simplest slow flow anywhere, for instance immediately under your water tap. Soon turbulence sets in as the water drops from your tap and accelerates downward: the transparency of the laminar flow is lost. I hope your blood flow too is laminar ;-) (of course blood is a complicated fluid, unlike the simple water in the Victoria Falls.) Hansmuller (talk) 17:59, 16 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for updating the article there. I've had a look through Commons for some clearer photographs of waterfall edges, but once you get a decent close-up (eg. the one to the right here) you can see that the surface of the water is very rough. I suppose it's all relative, but maybe a photo of a running tap would be better to open the article with. I haven't found a good one of those yet. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:23, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * @Lord Belbury I have put your image in front, you're right that the detail is much better! Hansmuller (talk) 09:51, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Not sure I see the need for a date on the photo. It'd be vital in an article that was specifically about the waterfall, but for an illustration of laminar flow the reader doesn't need to know how recent a waterfall photo is. For the opening image that shows a close-up of a waterfall edge I wouldn't even think it was necessary to name the waterfall! --Lord Belbury (talk) 11:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * NB Please refer to User_talk:Lord_Belbury for the conversation there. Hansmuller (talk) 07:12, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

(Translation)
Dear Hansmuller,

I've got a two page document in Dutch with the following bibliographic information:

Title: Nieuw Nederlandsch biografisch woordenboek, Leiden, A. W. Sijthoff's uitgevers-maatschappij, 1911-37.

Article Title: The entry on "Petrus [or Peter] Serrarius"

Volume: 10, Pages: 911-913.

I was wondering if you could help me translate it into English? If you can, I can send you the PDF document I've got through my Inter Library Loan via email. I'd really appreciate your help with this, since I've read it over 10 times already, but most of it I simply don't get. I haven't gotten some Dutch-English electronic dictionary setup on my computer yet, but before I do that, I thought I'd ask you for some advice, or if possible, for some help too. Thanks a lot. Regards, warshy (¥¥) 20:42, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Dear @warshy, yes, you're welcome, making a (not too large) translation is fun to me. If you just copy your text as plain text (.pdf is not necessary isn't it?) into a mail using the mail function (menu in the left column "Email this user" or similar) i can have a look. Probably i attack using Google Translate (GT got much better lately, is great), correct the GT results and send them to you. Cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 07:37, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * PS I see "Petrus [or Peter] Serrarius" (Serrurier = lockmaker in French, so he could be called "Slo(o)temaker" in Dutch) was part of Spinoza's group. I happen to be working on a detailed summary of Spinoza's Ethica, first in Dutch, later to be translated in English i hope, at https://nl.wikibooks.org/wiki/Spinoza_Ethica . Perhaps that's how you found me. Do well (do good deeds) and be happy, Hansmuller (talk) 07:37, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * @warshy Probably you mean [this Dutch text]? I have sent you a translation of that page. Good luck! Hansmuller (talk) 14:09, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Wow!↓ Thank you SO MUCH, Hansmuller! You have really helped me A LOT with this. I was able to clarify a very important point just with the first paragraph of your translation! I will explain to you later in more detail the importance of your contribution to my research on this character and on his work. Thank you so much again for taking the time to help me with this document. Regards, warshy (¥¥) 17:33, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Dear @warshy, if you need a translation for presentation / publication, i can brush my previous version up (it was just a quick attempt, correct in the meaning but of course it can still be improved stylistically, quoting the publications correctly etcetera.). Please let me know if you need a better text. Carpe diem, Hansmuller (talk) 07:53, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Dear Hansmuller, your translation is great and it is fine for my needs right now. Since the main modern researchers of Serrarius do not use this source, and since it is used by an indirect researcher, about whom I am myself writing, I needed to see the document he is referring to and what it says. Your translation has determined that this secondary, indirect researcher did not understand the document correctly, and therefore (based incorrectly on it), gave in his book the birth year of Petrus Serrarius as 1580. As your translation has shown, the document does not purport to know or to provide Serrarius' birth year with certainty. It only mentions in parenthesis that there was a certain Antoine Serrurier in Antwerp in 1580. It does not say that Petrus Serrarius was born in 1580, as the secondary researcher concluded erroneously. So, your translation has clarified the error of the researcher, and I can now explain his error in my own research. As I progress with my own work I will give you more details, such as the names and works of these three researcher I refer to above. But on the meantime, as I wrote, you have already helped me clarify and explain the researcher's mistake about the birth year of Petrus Serrarius. Thanks a lot for all your help so far. When I get the work of Ernestine G. E. van der Wall about Petrus Serrarius in Dutch through my Interlibrary loan I intend to ask you some more questions, if it is OK with you again. But thank you so much again for your help with this so far. Carpe Diem, warshy (¥¥) 18:44, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

(Book on Serrarius)
Dear Hansmuller,

I had requested the following item through interlibrary loan here in the US:


 * van der Wall, Ernestine G. E., De mystieke chiliast Petrus Serrarius (1600-1669) en zijn wereld, Leiden, Ph. D. Leiden Universiteit, ICG, 1987 (diss.).

Searching on WorldCat and on Google books I was able to determine that the ISBN for this dissertation/publication is 9789090015569 and the OCLC number is 46001165.

Intelibrary loan here is telling me that no Library in the US or Canada is willing to lend this item through interlibrary loan. Would you have access to it, to have a first look at it, to see what the table of contents is, how many pages total, how many chapters it has and what these chapters are? It would certainly have a bibliography section (how many pages?), but I am not sure it would have an index also, probably not.

I would really appreciate it if you could may be take a first look at this book or Ph. D. dissertation and could maybe answer some of these initial questions about it. Thanks a lot again for all your help with my research so far. Hope everything is well with you over there in Utrecht. Warm regards, warshy (¥¥) 16:46, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Huis te Warmond.jpg @Warshy, you target an interesting book from an interesting emeritus professor - apparently she still has many ongoing PhD students. This book is available in the Netherlands through various university libraries (list on Worldcat). On the internet everywhere it is stated that it has "Dutch text, English summary."
 * You will have found this discussion in French of her thesis in the column at the right. It states that this book was published "with the author, Huys te Warmond", so she lived or had an office there?! (Perhaps that was the very first printing, not yet commercially available, just internally for the university etc. The location is sociologically interesting, i am just a commoner you see. Picture at the right)
 * Leiden University should scan all PhD theses. I could as yet not find a scan of this van der Wall 1987 thesis.
 * You wanted
 * number of pages: UBU (Universiteitsbibliotheek Utrecht) says "825 p. ; 23 cm". Still to be answered: table of contents, bibliography, index (yes there is!)? I hope to find this book. Of course I assume you want that summary in English. A presto! Hansmuller (talk) 07:25, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Dear Hansmuller,

Thanks a lot for your thorough research on my inquiry, just from one day to the next! I have read the French review of the book and it helps a great deal also! I have looked at her page which you found and sent. I did not know if she was still alive and active, but it definitely looks like she is. This is great news, and I will try to contact her still today. I am sure that through her I should be able to get a copy of the main parts of her dissertation some time soon. Nice picture of her, and nice picture of the "Huys te Warmond". It looks like this is the place/building where her office is located at Leiden University. I have a pretty large collection of her articles already, but for my research I also need to be sure I reviewed her initial Ph.D. thesis very thoroughly. The interlibrary loan people are saying they could request photocopies of chapters or pages of the book, so having a table of contents and the index would be very helpful to begin with. I will let you know as soon as I make more progress, and if I get a reply directly from her too. You have helped me a great deal again, and I am very grateful for all your help. I hope your own work on the Ethica's logic is also progressing nicely. warshy (¥¥) 17:12, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

On Spinoza and Serrarius
Hello Hansmuller,

Sent you a long message about your scanned file, your help, your translations, your pages, and my research. Thank you so much again for all your help. Sincerely, warshy (¥¥) 18:08, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Antonius Hulsius
Warshy wrote to me: “Dear Hansmuller,

I just sent you a question from a German Wikipedia page here, but I don't know if you got the message. Look at the talk page there for my question. Do you think you can help with this translation task for the English Wikipedia? After all he taught at Groningen and Leiden, and I think he does need his own page on the English Wikipedia also. Thanks! Regards, warshy (¥¥) 19:50, 15 September 2020 (UTC)“
 * @Warshy : Interesting fellow this Hülse or Hulse perhaps?, the German article can be translated using Google Translate plus some tweaking afterwards. You know English is a creole language of French and say Dutch/German, so if you add the German and French articles for Hulsius and divide by 2, the result will be just about right! If you want me to, I can try, but otherwise i don't want to steal your pleasure of starting the English article on Hulsius. Ave et vale, Hansmuller (talk) 15:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Your problem editing this page was caused by the missing closing "|}" of your kind Barnstar. Thanks! Hansmuller (talk) 15:52, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

I am very sorry for the mess with all the notification messages, must have been pretty confusing at first. I tried to fix it dozens of times, and I can't believe I never came up with the right combination. Just look at the history of all my attempts at trying to fix the mess! I came pretty close, but apparently did never get myself to the winning combination - "|}" - in a new, separate line. What a mess, and I can't believe that with all the tries I just never got it it myself... It is frustrating to me, but sorry for the mess again! Thanks to the tips on how to proceed with the creation of the new page and the translation process. I thought there was a wiki template that could help in the process, but I understand from you that I just have to translate it myself using Google translate, not a wiki template. OK. With some time in the near future I will try/do it. Thanks again! Ave et vale, warshy (¥¥) 16:44, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * @Warshy Don't worry be happy. Perhaps i'm simply old-fashioned, there might now be a real AI translation helper, i'm just not aware of any as yet... Si vales, valeo Hansmuller (talk) 12:38, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Navigation
Hallo, Thank you for creating Tireli, Mali. When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie Tireli), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page - or, in this case, by creating a disambiguation page as there was a person with the surname. This helps the reader to find your article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one.

Please also note that stub goes at the end, not the top - see WP:ORDER. It makes life easier for editors sorting stubs if (a) they know where to find the stub tag, and (b) it doesn't have to be moved. Thanks, and Happy Editing. Pam D  18:20, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @PamD Thank you for noticing this stub and for your edits! I know but just ran out of time, and was almost thrown out of a closing university building last night :-)). We can't do everything on our own in one go. I was more worried about the lack of a source... Successive improvement, like you practiced, is the essence of Wikipedia.

Is There a God? (Swinburne book, 2010) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Is There a God? (Swinburne book, 2010), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

 * I helped a bit with the draft, did a mention of both versions while keeping the original one first and accepted the draft to a proper title (no need for a disambiguation since there's only this book with such a title). If you have some time in the future, please add a Reception section (how the reviewers found the book, as in what they did/didn't like and a short summary of their opinions, common thing with most book articles). Regards, Jovanmilic97 (talk) 09:13, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Broken redirects
Hello, Hansmuller,

Please do not change redirects to red links, so they point to a blank page or they will just be deleted. Do not change a redirect until there is an article to point it to. Liz Read! Talk! 20:06, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Dear @Liz, I'm sorry to have caused a hiccup. However, a link from a page to a redirect back to that page itself, as was the case, is not useful. Then a red link would be better, signaling a missing article.
 * How could i have remedied this?
 * I'll see if i can create this missing article myself. Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 18:52, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

The extensive formula for the Lagrangian L_SM


This picture really is humongous and quite difficult to read. Could we at least have a list of symbols and their meanings? :) Not sure what it adds to the page really, except that "it's possible to write the equation on a page, if the font is small enough". Also notice the discussion on the talk page for the inclusion of a much simpler equation. · · · Omnissiahs hierophant (talk) 23:09, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Nachtwacht_(27008744135).jpg Dear @Omnissiahs hierophant, Thanks for noticing.

Cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 05:56, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You are right, of course the formula is indeed humongous and quite difficult to read: that is perhaps an understatement, it is quite beyond high school physics material. For instance, there are 26 constants involved. The image immediately brings to light how complicated the Standard Model is.
 * Could we at least have a list of symbols and their meanings..: yes, we could, but perhaps that goes beyond the scope of Wikipedia, but you are welcome. The formula is now given as it stands, like a painting. We don't need a full list in the article, as the picture is not part of the text, it is an image only. In the metadata of the image at Wikimedia Commons we could provide a list etcetera. Wikipedia as an encyclopedia is not a textbook for detailed advanced physics, but should provide "the summary of all knowledge" (Jimmy Wales) and can show as we do here. You don't really want that list here, isn't it? But we could do it in some way.
 * Not sure what it adds to the page really..: well, here you have it, the large formula as the - my - physics community of the Netherlands has published it recently in a commemorating issue of its monthly magazine. This formula is essential.
 * This is it, the Standard Model, the real thing! In a way it is like Rembrandt's The Night Watch (real name: De Nachtwacht): too? complicated but illuminating for some who want to read it and can do so... Of course you can add the other interpretations and images if you like.
 * Please don't be shocked by some now classical physics, thanks!


 * Yeah.. Yea. Why not. Regarding explaining exactly everything on Wikipedia - Why not? It's not limited in space like oldskool paper-encyclopedias, so there is actually nothing beyond the energy of the wikipedia authors that stop wikipedia from elaborating extensively upon everything. Especially the physics pages could go a lot deeper into the subjects, imho! Not sure what Jimmy Wales says about that, but whatever, i am autonomous from him :) · · · Omnissiahs hierophant (talk) 04:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Dear @Omnissiahs hierophant, Thanks for your reaction.

Enjoy our star, the sun! (That's illuminating complicated physics, too.) Hansmuller (talk) 08:08, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * A relevant physics book is say Cliff Burgess: The Standard Model. A Primer, Cambridge University Press, 2006.
 * "Summary of all knowledge"? In User:Hansmuller/The sum of all knowledge Wales is cited at https://www.euronews.com/2015/10/29/wikipedia-co-founder-jimmy-wales-it-is-about-international-people-working, video at 5:25, etcetera.
 * You correctly referred to Talk:Mathematical_formulation_of_the_Standard_Model. There you might contact real particle theoretical physicists, which i unfortunately am NOT. I'm just a naive astrophysicist/biophysicist/archivist/teacher...
 * I am also not a physicist. Thank you for the book recommendation :) I like the way you express yourself :D · · · Omnissiahs hierophant (talk) 01:14, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Dear @Omnissiahs hierophant - Thanks! (By the way, "also not a physicist"? i have a Dutch style PhD in experimental physics and a Dutch MSc in astrophysics from Utrecht University, was fun, for the most part.) Cheerio - or it that corny?, Hansmuller (talk) 08:21, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear @Omnissiahs hierophant, Perhaps the references in the metadata of File:Formula_of_the_Standard_Model_of_particle_physics_-_Lagrangian_L_SM.jpg help you somewhat? Perhaps even better: the short version File:Formula for a Lagrangian in Yang-Mills theory.jpg. Cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 12:10, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nijenhuis (Diepenheim)


A tag has been placed on Nijenhuis (Diepenheim) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.komoot.com/highlight/1056181. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

Thank you for uploading File:My Observations During the Explosion at Trinity on July 16, 1945 - E. Fermi.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by 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 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 seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Nomination of Car speed and energy consumption for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Car speed and energy consumption 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/Car speed and energy consumption until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 until the discussion has finished. Fermiboson (talk) 12:59, 18 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Hansmuller I see that you are making edits to the "Car speed and energy consumption" article. I want to encourage you to reply to the comments in Talk:Car speed and energy consumption. In my opinion, the edits you are adding are increasing the overlap of the article with other existing Wikipedia articles. That will not resolve the issues raised by other editors. Every article needs a unique ('notable') reason to be; two articles with substantial overlap will be merged. So again I would encourage you to help find that unique reason or to help improve another article most closely aligned. I believe that is Energy-efficient driving.

Automobile edficiency
Please look at the various articles in https://www.google.com/search?q=automobike+engine+efficiency+versus+speed. When everything is included the typical number for the most efficient speed is ~ 55 mph, which is why that was at one time the speed limit. Most consumer cars are designed to be optimum for this speed, within constraints of what they think buyers will spend etc. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:09, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Africa
Hi, there's something strange going on here. The ISSN 0001-9720 is listed with the dab on top of the Africa (Rome) article as belonging, to the CUP journal Africa (journal), but on MIAR it leads to Africa (Rome) and is cited as such in the reference to MIAR, but not in the infobox. If what I'm writing is a bit confused, that's because I am confused... :-). Perhaps you can have a look at this. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 15:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Dear Randykitty, Thanks for your interest. Indeed those journal titles are confusing. On Wikipedia Africa (Rome) redirects to Africa (Roman province). On MIAR "Africa (Rome)" leads correctly to https://miar.ub.edu/issn/0001-9747 "Africa (Rome)", by library convention the journal Africa published in Rome, so Africa Rivista trimestrale. The link for ISSN2 at the bottom of the Infobox in Africa (Italian journal) leads to WorldCat https://search.worldcat.org/search?fq=x0:jrnl&q=n2:0001-9747 . And MIAR indicates correctly the CUP journal Africa for https://miar.ub.edu/issn/0001-9720, the ISSN number indicated in the dab for Africa (journal) on top of Africa (Italian journal) you mentioned. So i think all is well after all. Thank you, cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 10:40, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
