Queen of Swords
I have added the court case re Linda Lukens but no episodes have I seen her credited ie: On TV, on DVD, on youtube. Am I missing it. Also I do not know who has wriiten about Tessie Santiago only doing close ups but De Longis did train her for two months and said on his website she was very good and that she  was nearly injured fighting Raul in Honor thy Father when the director let it get out of hand. The bullwhip was used by The Queen in The Serpent,  Takes a Thief The Uncle, The Return, The Hanged ManREVUpminster (talk) 17:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I am still not happy about her being credited on the episodes as I can't find one. Good work with all the court info detail as it took me months before I found something I could cite. I think Xena is a bit of a red herring because if you look at Jay Firestone output he always had a strong female from La Femme Nikita, Highlander The Raven, Adventure Inc, Relic Hunter, Andromeda, Mutant X REVUpminster (talk) 21:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Reply: It does not matter if you are happy or not. She is a part of the history of the series and to leave her out of an encyclopedic work would be irresponsible to future readers. That is called pretending the ugly matter never happened, which it did.

Thanks for adding sources to the article. I know I tagged it for speedy deletion and then proposed deletion, but I'm not a mindreader. Anyway, the sourcing of the article is obviously the better outcome, so thanks and keep up the good work. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 15:52, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Hunted"
A tag has been placed on The Hunted" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because 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. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they  userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Disambiguation link notification for April 3
Keeping this on my page to show the lack of sensitivity some editors show to others seeking help. If one editor indicates something is unclear and if another editor chooses to reply, that second editor should be using words of kindness not words of superiority and insult. We all need to remember this for this is what brought about the real-life notoriety and downfall of the editor who used the pseudonym Qworty. As many mothers have told their children (though sadly not all), "If you can't say anything nice, then don;t say anything at all." Taram (talk) 16:06, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Incarnate Word, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Divine Word (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

 * Hello. Do you understand the part that says you edited the page Incarnate Word?

Yes.

And do you understand the part that says that your edit included a link to the page Divine Word?

Yes.

If you are editing pages on Wikipedia, I hope you at least understand what a "link" to another page is.

If wishes were fishes we'd all live in the sea. And if hopes were ropes we'd all be a great big family.

If so, I'd be happy to help you understand the rest of the message.

Replaceable fair use File:Steve Hodges for Congress, 2013.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Steve Hodges for Congress, 2013.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 04:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
 * ESkog, Thank you. I have a question as follows: Where do I insert the notation "di-replaceable fair use disputed?" Should that be placed above the admin warning or somewhere in the license? Also, I will call tomorrow to see if we can use the photo on WIkipedia. If they say yes at the office, what do I write on the page and where should that new notation be onthe page?  Thank you!

Salem, Missouri vandalism; reporting vandals to administrators
Thanks for the barnstar.

I posted the following on my user talk page and also put it here to be sure you see it.
 * Disruptive vandals can be reported and blocks or sanctions requested at Administrator intervention against vandalism.


 * In this case, the vandal has only one recent vandalism and warning. He has only three vandalisms overall. The following guidelines are shown on the AIV page:


 * Important! Please remember the following:


 * 1. The edits of the reported user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
 * 2. The user must have been given enough warnings to stop their disruptive behavior.
 * 3. The warnings must have been given recently and the users must be active now, especially for unregistered users.
 * 4. Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should go to AN/I, as a bot automatically removes accounts here that are blocked.


 * In this case, we would expect an administrator to conclude that this was one passing act and that the vandal will not strike again, or not do so any time soon. So it is likely that no administrator will take an action against this user address even though the vandalism was egregious. If the vandal comes back about three times in the near future or is threatening or posts especially vicious material about a living person, they may act at that time. I would advise not filing a report based on the one recent incident but do so if you see that the vandal continues his disruptions. Donner60 (talk) 08:07, 3 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your information Donner60. I will be careful to not jump the gu on reporting this user's disruptive editing. Thank you again! Taram (talk) 05:56, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Re: Yves Congar.
Hi Taram. Actually, I have no idea why there is this difference, but I noticed it and I would be glad if someone could explain to me the reason. Happy editing. --Mauro Lanari (talk) 01:13, 8 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Mauro Lanari, Thank you! This is a very interesting subject (for me at least). I have been in contact with the gentleman who writes the page at http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bcongar.html. He thinks it might be an error that has spread across many Internet pages. He said that he would be correcting that tomorrow. Elizabth T. Groppe is credited with much of the Encyclopedia Britannica article you mentioned, so I will contact her tomorrow and see what she thinks about the spelling. I wanted to mention that I found Congar's obituary in the New York Times, printed two days after he died. It is at http://www.nytimes.com/1995/06/24/obituaries/yves-congar-french-cardinal-dead-91-vigorous-ecumenist-promoter-laity.html In the 10th paragraph, Congar is referred to as "Yves Marie-Joseph Congar." My feeling is that the article was printed so close to the time of his death as well as pretty close to his time of appointment as a cardinal, that that is the more accurate spelling of his name. Currently, I am reviewing "Yves Congar: Theologian of the Church" a historical monograph edited by Gabriel Flynn to see if his middle name is used anywhere in the text. I can see how using a hyphen between first and middle name may seem confusing since his fellow Dominican, Marie-Dominique Chenu, used  Marie-Dominique as his complete first name. So, since it is meant to be one name, Marie-Dominique is rightly hyphenated. I will keep you informed as I learn anything more about punctuation of Congar's first and middle names. Taram (talk) 03:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi again, Mauro Lanari! I did some more research about how Congar's name was printed in original English edition texts. I found that in English, when one puts a hyphen between nouns (including proper nouns), that is called a compound noun (or many nouns to create one word). Congar and those who spoke about him when he was alive would use just the name "Yves" as if it is a noun that stands by itself. I also looked at a first English edition of one of his books. There, his name is given as "Yves M.J. Congar." They didn't even use the hyphen between the two middle names (at least in the acronym form). I did find a reprint of an article which he wrote and in that his name is listed as "Yves M.-J. Congar." In that article, there is a hyphen between the two middle names to create a compound proper noun. I have not been able to find any original works in which there is a hyphen between his first (Yves) and middle names (Marie-Joseph). Again, I think that is because it would have made all three names into one name as in Marie-Dominique Chenu's name, especially when one looks at the idea of a compound noun. Would you feel more comfortable in removing the hyphen between Yves Congar's first and second name at his page with this new information? Thank you for your help and kindness in this matter. I am always so terrified that somebody is going to reply in utter anger, hurtfulness, and disgust about me personally. (That run with Qworty was not comfortable.) I will also post this at your talk page in case you would like to reply there. Thank you, again! Taram (talk) 07:44, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Magdalen ≠ Mother-and-Baby
Thanks for adding the Magdalen Asylum entry here: WikiProject_Catholicism. Just a quick clarification - these places were not Mother-and-Baby Homes, which are the subject of a different Catholic Church abuse controversy in Ireland. As I'm not a project member, I didn't want to make that edit myself. Tnx fr yr help on all this stuff! jxm (talk) 14:39, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you, jxm! What do you think a better sentence might be in order to describe the institutions in that case? I freely admit that I am far more knowledgeable about the theological ends of things than what the different groups were. Based on my understanding from an Irish American newspaper, there were 2 or 3 different groups that the Magdalene asylum page either directly talks about or alludes to. Please clarify where I am wrong...I understand that first there were the Magdalene asylums to teach a trade to "fallen women," then the laundries developed almost like workhouses for those who could not care for themselves, and then when the Irish free state developed, the Mother-Baby homes were created in conjunction with a few female religious congregations and that was the subject of the "Philomena" incident, book, and film (with Dame Judy Dench). I do not know if I have that straight or not. I would like to make sure that sentence at WikiProject Catholicism is correct, so if could write a phrase that you think might be more accurate, I could put it there to replace the one there now. Thank you again jxm!Taram (talk) 23:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * In that sentence, I think I would just replace Mother-and-Baby with 'residential institution'. Y're right, there's no shortage of confusing crud and allusions in the MA page. Regarding the actual distinction, the 20 or so Irish residential-care female asylums morphed into quasi-businesses that received much of their support through laundry contracts with state organizations and private companies. On the other hand, a M&B home was essentially a rather shameful maternity clinic and orphanage, as is depicted in Philomena. I think that some of these institutions had actually evolved from Famine-era workhouses, whereas others simply occupied premises that had previously been workhouses, as in Tuam. In WP, we haven't got a good handle on a general treatment of these homes yet; unfortunately, much of the new material has taken the form of sensationalist blogging about the latest scandal. Cheers! jxm (talk) 23:37, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you jxm (talk)! Your explanation, here, of what everything means is succinct, very interesting, and much easier to read/understand than the actual MA page (at least as it is right now). I appreciate your explanation of everything. The things that happened at the MB homes were beyond sad and truly awful for many. As you do, I look forward to the time when "sensationalist blogging about the latest scandal" (that is a great phrse, btw) no longer muddies how the page flows and explains the situation(s). I replaced the MB phrase with the one you recommended at WikiProject_Catholicism. I think it reads well, but please let me know if there is anything else I should change there. Thank you, again!

Hi jxm (talk): Thank you for working on the split and getting the rating section clarified. I noticed that our friend has noted what WikiProjects have an interest ion the new Magdalen Laundries page.

Roberta Brown
I removed anything that was phrased as "subject" (e.g. "performing arts", "swordsmanship", etc.) instead of "people associated with subject" (e.g. fencers, actresses, magicians, etc.), and anything that was duplicating another more specific category that she was already in (e.g. "Stunt performers" vs. "American stunt performers".) I often used to phrase the former as "categorize people as -ists, not -isms", but people tended not to understand what I meant by that — but it means that a person is an artist rather than art, a musician rather than music, a philosopher rather than philosophy, an economist rather than economics, and on and so forth. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 03:21, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cecilia Galante, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King's College.

Ways to improve Aniceto Fernández Alonso
Hello, Taram,

Thank you for creating Aniceto Fernández Alonso.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

"This page would benefit from having more references. Look to OP provincial directories, and diocesan directories. These may help."

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with. Remember to sign your reply with. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Whiteguru (talk) 02:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Whiteguru (talk) Thank you Whiteguru, all I have access to are original Spanish historians and histories. Maybe somebody else will come up with the Spanish provicial directory. More likely the Generalate might have information rather than the province. What do you think? I doubt that a diocesan directory would comment on the events in the Order, but it is wort a shot. Do you know anybody who has access to diocesan directories in Spain?

Fanny
Thank you for trying to improve the intro, but Fanny Mendelssohn wasn't known as a composer, - Fanny Hensel was, as she published under her legal married name. It's complex. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

If want to put the article under the name Fanny Hensel, that is great. You need to make sure the reason for having a WP entry is clearly stated in the beginning clause (as in "Joe James was an Indonesian plumber", etc) so it is clear to the casual reader doing a name search. Taram (talk) 23:21, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

You do not want to lose the reason for having a WP article in a mishmash of names and pseudonyms. Taram (talk) 23:22, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Sonja Wigert shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about 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.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Diannaa (talk) 14:42, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
