hi sorry I am probably doing this wrong but for your edit of Temple of Baal - I was there 4 years ago and have a number of pictures you may post if you wish. Especially now that it is gone. Please feel free to contact me at Flickr.com user Craig Jenkins. If you want to see them go to my album Lebanon &Syria 2011

UNMIK
You're an experienced user and maybe don't need this, but anyway. I mostly agree with your edits on UNMIK, but could you in future, when switching places of paragraphs and sections, switch them in one edit, and then edit them in another edit? This is because when switching places diffs could hardly be seen, and this could be frustrating, especially if an article could be expected to be a target of POVing.

Quebec
Hi QuartierLatin, Just as a matter of interest, what's your basic stance on the issue of Quebec independance? Are you for it or against it? (I'm honestly not looking to get into an argument - just interested!) Brian 12:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Obviously the question is very complex. Québec is a nation, and independence is an option that belongs to it by right. On the other hand, I think it would be unwise for the Québécois to try to establish an independent state on the basis of a 51% yes vote. The real contest will be for the allegiance of the enfants du loi 101 – once they can be won to the notion that Québec, not Canada, is their nation, then the battle's won. For selfish reasons, I also like Québec in Confederation because they're a good example to the rest of the country. Canada has built its unique social model in part thanks to the influence of Québec labour unions, student groups, feminists, and so on. (In the event of sovereignty, I do think that Nunavik and perhaps James Bay should have the option of becoming a new Canadian territory, should they so desire.) But to answer your question more directly, if I were a Québécois and I were voting in the next referendum on sovereignty, I would vote yes. QuartierLatin1968 [[Image:Red flag waving transparent.png|20px|El bien mas preciado es la libertad]] 16:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll admit for reasons that will become clear that my question was a slightly loaded one, although I have to absolutely stress that I'm not looking to get into a debate, and nomatter what your answer to this second question may be, I'll not respond in anyway other than to thank you for answering! - I just want to give food for thought, as is the nature of encyclopedias! I noticed on your Userpage that you say you're an Irish Republican. If Quebec is distinct from the rest of Canada and therefore a plausible candidate for independence, why would you want to lump Northern Ireland (with its own distinct culture and history) in with the Republic of Ireland? Would you not prefer to advocate self-determination rather than Republicanism? Brian 18:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Aha! All becomes clear. :-) You're right, Northern Ireland (and in particular, the northeast of Ireland) is culturally quite different from the South. Indeed, I can see an argument for believing the "British" community of Northern Ireland to be a distinct 'Protestant Irish nation'. But remember that if there is a 'Protestant Irish nation', these are nations living side by side, in every county and town of Northern Ireland. You cannot separate them; no line of partition would satisfy. The current border's a mess: why is Derry cut off from Donegal, a clear part of its natural hinterland? why is Newry in NI? why are Monaghan and Armagh in different countries? But you can't split the difference either; the result would be equally vexing.
 * So there's an overarching need for Orange/Green reconciliation, first and foremost. You cannot build a United Ireland on the basis of support from only one community, any more than it has been possible to build a United Kingdom on the basis of only one community. This is why the Good Friday Agreement is essential: it creates a different dynamic from the "either Dublin or London" mentality and challenges people of both communities to imagine themselves with common institutions and symbols. And this is why the process has stalled: faced with that challenge, both Unionists and Republicans have balked, held back, delayed, tried to hang on to their old fiefs and shibboleths. But that process must go on, sacred cows notwithstanding, because the Union won't work without reconciliation and neither will a United Ireland.
 * There's also the fact tacitly admitted by everybody, at least in unguarded moments, that the 'Protestant Irish nation' or (as it self-identifies) the British community is rooted in Ireland. This is what's unique and special about the Ulster British: their roots are in Scotland and England but they've developed their own definite community characteristics on the soil of Ireland. And as an outsider looking in (I'm a North American of [Northern] Irish descent), it amazes me how much is strikingly similar about both sides – how much is Irish, if you like, in the British community; how much is Scottish in the local Irish community, and so on. Tim Collins makes a similar point about the experience of Irish soldiers (from North and South) serving together overseas.
 * I don't get that feeling much about Québec. You can't set foot in that country without feeling yourself to be in a very different place from English Canada – a nation all its own. Its literature, cinema, cuisine, music – everything is just so distinct. I love it, but it's not mine. As Duceppe always says of Québec, ni supérieur ni inférieur mais différent. It's a different scenario from Ireland.
 * So I do support the principle of consent, as do practically all Irish Republicans nowadays. Cross-community reconciliation is the sine qua non – but at the end of the day, I think that people across the island will recognize that more unites them than divides them. (But I also think Ireland has much more in common with Scotland, and other parts of Britain, than is typically admitted in nationalist circles.)

Well I have to say that I am definately impressed! For someone not from the province you certainly have a clear grasp of the situation here. I really appreciate your taking the time to answer, and so thoroughly too! Just one point of clarification I would make, though! The vast majority (myself being in the minority) of the Protestants that I know would not classify themselves as Irish because they identify that word with Irish Republicanism and ofcourse the Republic of Ireland. Even the term Northern Irish isn't often heard, which means that most people simply identify themselves as British. (Even the logical halfway house British Irish doesn't get heard!) I wonder what they'd call themselves if the United Kingdom were to dissolve?! Anyway, cheers for that input, dude! Slán leat, Brian 19:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks, man! It's great to have confirmation from somebody that I'm not totally off my nut! :-) Well, what can I say, I listen to Talk Back. Thank heaven for the BBC in bringing the world together! (You know, your government ought to tax us foreigners; they're providing a brilliant service to us for free.)

Revolutionary Voting
Bonjour Q, I've given my vote for what it's worth. I just hope there's enough traffic to that article to warrant this quarrel! On a different note, do athiests say adieu?! Brian 22:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey Brian, thanks for voting! Haha, do I come off as too emotional about this? Isn't it funny how Wikipedia brings out the petty side in all of us? What happened was, I moved this page to Prachanda after giving it some thought, and about an instant later TJive reverts me. And I think to myself, what on earth is going on here? So we argue on each other's talk pages for awhile and I end up giving up in the name of keeping the peace. I wouldn't have revisited the matter if this other guy, DanielM hadn't come along saying he agreed with what had been my position. But it's true, more effort has been expended in thinking about where this article should be, than what should go in it. Sad, sad. QuartierLatin1968 [[Image:Red flag waving transparent.png|20px|El bien mas preciado es la libertad]] 22:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC) PS: Adieu is but the tip of the iceberg. Our own "goodbye" is supposed to come from "God be wi' ye". So God can't really be purged from ordinary conversation.


 * Why supposedly?! It's derived from "God by ye" (with the meaning of, as you rightly say, God be with you). And the Irish for "hello" is día duit (pronounced "jee-a ditch"), which means "God to you", so it looks like He's really got a monopoly in the greetings business! Brian 22:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Heart Sutra
Check out the devanagari on Heart Sutra. Is that what you wanted? deeptrivia (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Bonjour!!! Hey, I was just reading the Heart Sutra page, I believe there's something wrong with the transliteration of this sentence:

पारसंगते	Pārasamgate	[pɑːɾəsəm gəteː]	Completely gone beyond

If I recall my sanskrit classes correctly, the anusvāra over letter "sa" is not supposed to be pronounced as a full "m", but rather as a nasalized one, much in the way the "n" is pronounced in French "painture". So, in Latin script that "m" should have a dot over it to show it is a "cerebral" consonant, and in IPA I've seen examples when this kind of sounds are written with a tilde: ã

Au revoir! (addendum: sorry, forgot to sing :) TrollDeBatalla )


 * You could be right. But in Hindi, at least, the nasal vowel is indicated with a candrabindu, not an anusvāra. If you're right about the Sanskrit, though, the IPA would indeed be .

Thank you for your initial work on the entry for Burnt Church First Nation! I go out there frequently and even look forward to living out that way soon.

I would like to add much to the site and feel I could be a real help there. I would even employ some of my friends there to make sure I get things right. I have made much use of Wikipedia and now I guess I have a place to give back some.

I'm here in Michigan-land, 700+ ft. above sea level on the freshwater Great Lakes. There is something different about sea level and salt water! (I was brought up in Aylmer, Ontario and my father's family is from Searchmont, Ontario and "the Soo" - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, hence, this Canadian connection.) Do you have an interest in First Nations people? Or how did you start out to setting up the Maritime First Nations lists?

Native Cornish

 * yes it is for me. i still feel that you are applying an excessively limited concept of the term "native" (reradless of whether it afects Ken George or not, which, I believe, is neither here nor there). you seem to assume that "nativeness" is based on where a person happens to be born, part of the ius solis tradition. other criteria also exist in law, however, such as ius sanguis, so that, for example, third generation galizans are considered galizan to all efects and purposes by the administration whether or not either they, or indeed eitheir of their parents, were actually born in galiza (as is the case, in fact, for several hundred thoudans of people). may i also suggest that, for example, someone born in india but who has spent all of their life, or the best part of it, living and working in cornall and especially for the advancement of cornall would certainly, to my mind at least, be worthy of the title "native of cornwall". this is rather an open concept and need not be applied based on the narrowest interpretaion available, ie. where someone happens to be born. if that needs to be done, ie. sorting poeple based on their place of birth, may i suggest changing the name of the category to the rather simpler and less controversial "people born in cornwall"? Neal

from talk:Celtic nations

 * It's a pity you endorse split infinitives and preposition endings in sentences though :( My biggest bother (besides the Americanisation of the New Zealand dialect and accent) is the use of the singular to reflect plural, such as "there's lots of cats". What's 'heteroflexible'? Enzedbrit 07:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Enzedbrit, that last seems to me to be totally unrelated to the issue. But if you think those are problems, reword them so that they're more pleasing to you. However, QuartierLatin's grammatical preferences are of no relevance to the validity of his edits...especially comments about his user page. Those are best kept to his user talk page. That criticism aside, I'm glad we were able to resolve the map issue for now. Way to go, Quartier. -GlamdringCookies 18:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Respect
Hey QuartierLatin, I just wanted to say that I love all the work you've been doing on the Celtic nations page and perhaps (I forget, they blur together in my memory of my watchlist) Modern Celts too. Just wanted to request, though, that you are a little more respectful to people's submissions. For example, today there was the post that you essentially reverted (appropriately, for sure) and cited some of its content as "rubbish". While respect isn't on the rules for talk pages, being polite is included in the etiquette page. I repeat, I have never disagreed with your altering of the Celtic nations page, but it would be great if you could be just a bit more respectful. I'm sure that you assume good faith, but just keep in mind that being too harsh with people's submissions can hurt their feelings (even if they are unregistered). Keep up the wonderful editing, -GlamdringCookies 21:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

signature
Would you consider removing the flag image from your signature? The signature guideline is strongly against it, as being distracting, vulnerable to vandalism, and an unnecessary load on the servers. Of course there's no reason to go back and re-edit old talk pages, but if you would consider going forth with a streamlined signature, I'm sure many would appreciate it, including myself. -- nae'blis (talk) 01:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Image on Template:BrazImpFam
Hi. Images on such templates are really better off reduced. They are not the "stars" of the template. Did you notice that the resizing you did is throwing off the title of the template? It's not centralized and unevenly distributed in the header. I settled on 25px because (a) it doesn't disturb the template's title, and (b) it is a [deliberately] minimal size that will maintain the image visible enough, but without causing those problems I mentioned in my previous edit. I'm no genius in wiki code, but I figure we can only keep the new size if the problem with it throwing off the header can be solved somehow. If you can do that, ok, but if not, we'll have to go back to the previous size, since, as I said, images are really secondary in the template, and we can only use them if, and to the extension where, they don't disturb the template itself (layout included). Furthermore, I noticed you replaced the image. As far as I can tell, it seems to be the exact same image only in PNG format. But in case I missed something, and the images are not exactly the same, the previous one was a result of a debate about the historical accuracy of the image to be in the template, since the image that used to be there wasn't completely accurate regarding the colors used in the Royal Family's crest. Regards, Redux 02:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It's no problem at all. We are all working to improve the project.  Your adaptation seems to work.  It's not really important which side of the template the image is on.  And you are in fact right about the PNG format being preferred over JPG.  As I said, we would only go back to the previous format if the PNG image were not identical to the JPG file, due to the historical accuracy issue.  I squinted some, and it seems that the images are identical, which would mean that the PNG image should stay.  Perhaps you can confirm my "diagnosis", by comparing the two images.  As a matter of fact, I will delete the JPG file from our servers for being a duplicate file of the [preferred] PNG image, but I'd like to be completely positive about that, since image deletion is the one Administrative action that is not reversible through the software (someone would need to re-upload the image if we were to need it again for any reason).

Re: Lamiae
firstly, let me say that you're right to question the source of that. after writing it, to be fair, i started questioning it, since it wasn't so glossed by Romans, but by Irish monks commenting on Latin texts.

the very first instance of the word "morrigan" in an Irish text is in "manuscript Regina No. 215 in a gloss of Isaiah 34.14, a passage which recounts the desolation of Edom. Lamia is there glossed monstrum in femine figura .i. morigain ‘monster in female form, that is, a morrígan’  (Stokes and Strachan 1901: I.2.6).  The codex was written in 876 or 877 A.D.." (as cited in Angelique Gulermovich Epstein, War Goddess electronic edition (1998), Chapter One "The Morrígan in Mythological Tradition", page 2). Epstein goes on to document a number of other instances in which "Lamia" or "Lamiae" is glossed as "Morrígan" or vice versa.

also, apparently i forgot to include the signature, so i'll do that now: Whateley23 11:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Rum

 * Not neccessarily, Rumelia is a geographical and historical region, Rum province was an administrative region of the ottoman empire whereas Rum refers to a (more or less) ethnic connotation.. Over the centuries Rum was used to mean peoples of the ancient Byzantine Empire (particularly for Greeks). The ottoman sultan who conquered constantinople titled himself Kaiser-i Rum, meaning the ceasar of the romans..

Re Shaivism vs. Saivism
Thanks for your response. I understand. My interest is consistency.

Template talk:Celtic mythology
I posted this at the above, but got no responses. In case you or others are not watching that page:

If this template is about Celtic religion now (used to by Celtic Mythology), and we have a category for *ancient* Celtic religion, might it make sense to include a *brief* section on modern Celtic religion? I'd suggest listing Celtic Reconstructionism and possibly modern versions of Celtic Christianity (but I think there have been some conflicts over those articles). However, I think it would only work to include modern religion if it can be kept pretty strictly limited and not include any of the non-Celtic traditions that mistakenly get called "Celtic". Otherwise, it might make sense to change the template back to mythology. Thoughts? --Kathryn NicDhàna 22:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Boann
Hey Quartier, some major problems have been introduced over at the Boann article. I've made a dent, and flagged it for cleanup, since I might not be able to slog through it soon. The changes were initially reverted, but are back now. Some of the information added may be ok, but some of it is rather problematic in terms of sourcing and accuracy. Other problems are that inherent contradictions and stylistic problems have been introduced. If you don't have a chance to get to it any time soon, I'll do it eventually, but would like another pair of eyes on it. Tapadh Leat, ~ Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 21:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd forgotten to bring this up months ago, but my memory got jogged: Can you please explain your edit here, which had the nonsensical edit summary of "Matrona doesn't derive from Matrona, it is Matrona"?

 * I want to apologize. That was a real asshole comment and I wish to apologize. I was disappointed that my evidence for arguing that it should be redirected to the bullet template was drying up (despite the fact that the fixes were good for Wikipedia) and I (unwisely and unfounded-ly[?]) took it out on you. I suppose I felt so strongly about my position, that I was going to fight to the death to make sure I got my way (real selfish and immature). I should have assumed good faith and just explained politely about the change in the amount of pages that misused the template. Civility is no "small thing" -- it is one of the five pillars of editing Wikipedia. Hopefully, you'll accept my apology.

Language Cleanup
Thank you so much for taking this on! Also, if you get a chance to look at French Wikipedia, the Celtic articles are generally in a dire state. My French is good enough to see the dreadful mistakes, but not good enough to write stellar, sourced prose to replace them. In particular, there are pervasive theological errors. The Brighid article says (last time I looked) that Brighid is the Great Mother Goddess, and all other Celtic Goddesses are her avatars/manifestations, or something. Similar approaches have been taken with some of the Gods. I think taking care of these mistakes (which in most cases can be accomplished easily enough by translating from the English language versions we have here) is rather important. Thanks again for all the good work you're doing! Tapadh Leat -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 00:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Erecura
Hello Quartier Latin Well I wanted to talk about the discussion on, Erecura, a Celtic goddess. You wrought something about it quite a while ago. You than mentioned two inscriptions about Erecura in Africa you thought were made bye merchants or soldiers. As I'm Currently working on the topic, I had informations concerning the two inscriptions from Africa. First, that's what they say I don't know if you understand Latin, you probably do but, I translated it in French : 1) A la mère de la terre, Herecura. A la grande mère Idéenne des dieux, Popilia Maxima, fille de Marcus a réalisé un taurobole et a posé un autel. 	 2) A la mère de la terre, Herecura. A la grande mère Idéenne. Publius Sextilius Honoratus, fils de Caius, de la tribu des Quirinia a fait un taurobole et un Criobole, il a posé un autel.

The point is, there is a few things that make me think that the inscriptions were made bye romans living in Africa, not merchants as you said but i could be wrong. First, The name of the woman  was found on another inscription in Thibilis, on whom only the name is readable. The second element is the Quirina tribe after the man's name, many on the romans living in Africa were originally from that tribe, under Augustus, claudius, Hadrianus and Antoninus, colonization was organized from the Quirina tribe to Africa. Also, Another inscription From Sigus, Numidia, not that far from Thibilis mentions a Magna Mater priest named "Lucius Clodiux Luci filius Quirina tribu Honoratus" As the other inscription was also refering to Magna Mater, we may think they were from the same family If you have read anything about the fact that it could be merchants that came and made the inscription, plz let me know where.

P.S. : sorry for the mistakes, I am french speaker. You can reply here or on the french wiki

Jerminel (talk) 10:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As you said, I have no Idea how Erecura came over from Europe. And I haven't hear of any other inscriptions with both Goddess even in Europe. (I with others, are currently having a Seminar about the inscriptions on Magna Mater all around the roman world and I am to analyze Numidia)
 * My opinion is that the once who made these inscription could be colons who came from Gaul and came over with their believes. I don't know if we'll ever have the clue...
 * Jerminel (talk) 17:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Euh, i wanted to ask... Where did you read about the inscriptions in Numidia ?

 * I think as in Gaul, the Numids still have some of their own gods but I am not that sure. I'll have a look at a book I know this afternoon at the library but I do think they keep theirs gods and believes. Jerminel (talk) 11:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hoi! I noticed that you reverted the citation style of reference 7 (Ruttenber) from automatic formatting via the "cite-template" to manual formatting. Was there something wrong with the citation? I am asking since I started to fix the reference style in the article. At the moment they use all kinds of style (citation templates, manual formatting, just weblinks,...). To get a uniform look (and because I don't want to think about formatting) my plan was to use cite-templates everywhere.

Hello QL. I am replying to an ancient comment of yours I just found on the Celtic Luxembourg talk page. You wondered whether development could be combined with your article on Treveri. My starting point was to emphasize the fact that the Celts had been very much in evidence in what is now Luxembourg, particularly in the Titelberg area. I see that not only have you covered this in your own interesting article on the Treveri but that you have added a short section on the Treveri in the Luxembourg article.

Template: Praenomina
Please stop adding this template to all articles about individual praenomina, and deleting the "see also" link back to the main Praenomen article. These articles were carefully written and organized as a group, and have been carefully maintained since that time. Substantial revisions to the entire class should not have been undertaken without any discussion. I also feel that the trichotomy of "common," "less common," and "obscure" misstates the actual relationship of the various praenomina to one another across time and place, with the risk of misleading the reader, and that abbreviations should not be mixed with unabbreviated praenomina. I am willing to discuss a revised version of this template, but think it should be substantially modified before being applied to the entire class of articles.

Distances
Would you care to offer an explanation for reverting my edit regarding distances in Canadian English? We're not really "measuring" when we say that a place is two hours away. "Reckoning" is exactly what we're doing. As for the other part of that edit, it improves the clarity and structure of the sentence. Q·L·1968 ☿ 16:48, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * People in Canada, despite the fact that official documentation being in L/100kms, use MPG more often than not, and Ontario is not like the prairies, it is more diverse than that, and regional variations occur, what happens in the Ottawa valley, or the Golden Horse Shoe, for example, is not a provincial standard. Reckon does not read very well, and the wording was fine as it was.--Notwillywanka (talk) 01:55, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. I've heard distances on the road reckoned in hours almost exclusively in the Golden Horseshoe, but you're right that that doesn't prove how things are done in the Ottawa Valley, or, for that matter, up north. I have noticed that the Canadian English article seems a bit unbalanced towards the Prairies at the moment, however. In the future, perhaps, the article can be expanded with more examples and citations from Ontario, BC, and especially the Maritimes and Newfoundland, whose own linguistic diversity may be worth particular attention. (I still think that "reckon" is the right word for that circumstance, but it's not worth feuding over.) Q·L·1968 ☿ 17:09, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the Sapinuwa edits
Hi. I'm the guy who started the Sapinuwa page, breaking it off from Ortakoy in 2006. At the time I was a newbie who didn't know how to use the cite tag, if it even existed then. That is why so many of the references were were nonstandard. I do appreciate your hard work in cleaning it all up. --Zimriel (talk) 21:06, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Hittite New Kingdom royal family tree
Hello QuartierLatin1968, I saw recently that you added the family tree mentioned above to the article Kuzi-Teshub an studied it. I found three people missing. Because I was not able to find the template of the Hittite New Kingdom family tree I would leave this to you. Those are the three persons absent from the family tree: Those are the missing members of the Hittite royal family. I leave it to you if you add them to te family tree but no doubt this would be good for completeness.--Tarchunes (talk) 06:51, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Zida, son of Šuppiluliuma I. He leaded the Hittite troups to a battle in Mitanni. From: Klinger (2007), p. 57.
 * Ḫalpa-šulupi, son of Muršili II. Ḫattušili III mentions him as one of his siblings: "My father sired us four children: Ḫalpa-šulupi, Muwatalli, Ḫattušili and Maššana-uzzi, a daughter. From all those I was the youngest child." From: Haas (2006), p. 91.
 * possibly Ḫartapu, the great king, son of Muršili, the great king. Ḫartapu was great king of Tarḫuntašša in likely 2nd half 13th century BC, who is thought to be the son of Muršili III = Urḫi-Teššub by some scholars including Bryce. From: Bryce (2012), p. 21 f.
 * By chance I finally discovered the template and added Ḫalpa-šulupi and Ḫartapu to it. Zida I left away because there could be the possibility that Zida, son of Arnuwanda I in your tree is interpreted as a son of Šuppiluliuma I by Klinger. There may possibly also be two Zidas in the Hittite family tree but I really don't know.--Tarchunes (talk) 18:22, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Well done! Sorry I didn't get around to adding these yesterday, but I see you worked it out perfectly. Q·L·1968 ☿ 01:28, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Cernunnos
You have reverted my edit, perhaps based upon your own theory - or a general neo-pagan belief - that there are many representations of Cernunnos that do not name that god. However a slight knowledge of the archaeology would aver that there are many such horned gods otherwise named, and that therefore no unnamed image can be claimed to have held that name. Please, as soon as you are able and if you are able, add an authoritative archaeological reference stating that there are numerous images that definitely represent Cernunnos - or else allow this unsupported claim to be removed. Thanks. Redheylin (talk) 18:39, 22 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for being willing to discuss! Sorry to use the "revert" option (which feels like a more unfriendly gesture than I mean it to be), but I think it's warranted in this case. I'm moving this over to Talk:Pillar of the Boatmen for simplicity's sake (I often can't remember where all the threads of a conversation have been once they've started in different places).
