šar māt Šumeri
Hi! I need your help about a piece of information in King of Sumer and Akkad. I read there: Despite both of the titles "King of Sumer" and "King of Akkad" having been used by the Akkadian kings, the title was not introduced in its combined form until the reign of the Neo-Sumerian king Ur-Nammu. I have strong doubts about this "king of Sumer". AFAIK, Sargon chose "king of Akkad", "king of Kish", "king of the land", "ensi of Enlil"; Rimush was "king of Kish" etc.

Mario Liverani, 2009, pp. 267-268, writes (poor translation is mine): "The extension of power beyond the city area was seen in the past as an aggregation of different local regalities (Sargon still boasts of having put together in his person the title of En of Uruk and that of Lugal of Kish); then, starting with Naram-Sin it was reorganized in a vision of a universal empire (king of the four parts); now, with Ur-Nammu it assumes a regional connotation" (now referring to "king of Sumer and Akkad").

The problem is also that King of Sumer redirects to Lugal, so that en.wiki gives no clear explanation of this "King of Sumer" title.

In our article I find also: As such, the royal titles used by Sargon and his Akkadian successors were King of Akkad (Akkadian: šar māt Akkadi) and King of Sumer (Akkadian: šar māt Šumeri). The source given for this information is page 72 of The Inscriptions of Nabopolassar, Amel-Marduk and Neriglissar, by Rocío Da Riva, a book concerning Neo-Babylonian kings. This page 72 mentions the title šar māt Šumeri u Akkadî, but not šar māt Šumeri alone.

What do you think? Thanks in advance and sorry for my Itanglish. :D --Pequod76 (talk-ita.esp.eng) 18:49, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Megalograptus scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the Megalograptus article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 17, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Today's featured article/October 17, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:07, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, "about a large and strange prehistoric sea scorpion"! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Final works
Hello my friend, hope you're doing well in your life.

I once basically promised you I'd work on Pruemopterus and co-nominate it to GA with you, unfortunately after three years I can reliably say I am not going to be able to deliver on this. Back in the day Wikipedia was my only way of realistically doing meaningul, high-effort projects on the Internet, nowadays though I'd like to move on, keep this hobby more casual and finish all the high-effort projects in Wikipedia I've been dragging on for years, including this one. My motivation for eurypterid topics is non-existent anymore and it appears you had also lost interest. Still since I basically blocked for three years the GA nomination on the article you worked on I've decided to nominate it. I will give you the merit and add it on your userpage once it's promoted as it's the page you worked on, hope you don't mind. I think I will also do this with Angustidontus, I remember asking you if you'd nominate it and you said you would once there was a life restoration, and someone made one.

I do this out of respect to you, I pretty much learned researching and editing properly by copying your edits, it was also fun working on eurypterids with you even though it was always an overwhelming mission and our articles are now unfortunately becoming outdated as new papers appear. Would be cool to hear again from you. Regards, Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 18:11, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Please return!
I keep coming across your work and discussions due to my interest in Roman-Byzantine history. I believe Wikipedia -- I mean, the internet -- is at a loss that you are not longer contributing. I do hope you return and can continue your great work one day. Biz (talk) 07:57, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
