| == Re: nobility stubs == | |||
| Hi - you're right. The situation was until recently that all kings and nobility were placed together as nobility stubs (by definition, royalty is the top of the hierarchy of nobility). Recently, however, it was decided to split these stubs into nobility and royalty. There are a huge number of them to sort through, though, so it will take time before they're all assigned to their correct stub categories. (Others are doing that - I'm busy sorting through 4000 British geography stubs!). Oh, and you're right, I do need to archive, but I do that every two weeks.

| == Interwiki links == | |||
| Hi, I saw your question on JASpencer's talk page, and thought I'd let you know how to create ]s. If you want to link to another language wiki's article, just add a link at the bottom of article with the ] code of the language, a colon, and the article title, like this: <nowiki>]</nowiki>. The link will appear on the left side of the article, under the tool box. If you want an inline link to another wiki, do pretty much the same thing, except add a colon in front of the language link, like this: <nowiki>]</nowiki>. It's that simple. ] 06:43, 19 July 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :Mark, I made the change you requested, but because it's against the ]'s guidelines, I quickly reverted myself. You can see the version with the inline interlanguage link in of the page that can be found in the page's history. I hope this was helpful. Have you considered going through the self-guided ]? It can show you lots of little tricks and wiki-text standards. ] 16:54, 19 July 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, I'm not sure what you mean as it is working fine from my end. I don't see any chopped off entries. Could you be a little more specific? --] 21:07, 25 July 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == 1911/2004/Nuttall == | |||
| I think your annotations are useful, as they give an initial impresion of what the EB article is about, an if it pays to try and import it (people usually do, places often do not). Listing them by topic instead of alphabet might become an option later, as I fear there are too many left right now. Of course, an ''additional'' list can't do any harm, except we'll have to clean up another list now and then; it might attract specialists, though, for example "India-philes". Don't annotate the "corss"-pages, though, as I will replace them with new once from time to time. Oh, the Wikisource backlink: IMHO, that should only be done if there's an actual apge at wikisource, which for most pages is not the case. --] 10:17, July 26, 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ==Category:People stubs== | |||
| Hi - you wrote: ''How does one ever wallow through all of the subcategories and sub-subcats and find the one you want?

| Three rules of thumb: | |||
| #{{tl|countryname-bio-stub}} and {{tl|occupationname-stub}} will hit the mark a lot of the time (e.g., US-bio-stub and writer-stub) - just do a preview to check they don't redlink. | |||

| Hi Fourthave! I see that you're a newcomer at Misplaced Pages. Welcome! I saw your addition of quotes at the talkpage of the Przeworsk culture and it is great that you check for information. The idea that it was Germanic is not new at all, but the site you quoted seems to have a certain POV. The German site you quote does not call this culture ''Germanic'', it calls the culture ''German''. This is a worrying sign about the intentions of the authors.--] 21:23, 29 July 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ==Corded Ware culture== | |||
| Hi Fourthave. I saw that you have classified the corded ware culture as non-IE. This strikes me as odd as this culture is usually cited as the one that introduced IE into Scandinavia. Moreover, the culture was strikingly IE in appearance with personal graves (and not matrilocal communal graves as the previous culture), ]s were introduced as well as mounds and the axe as a macho symbol. Moreoever, the geographical distribution of the culture fits very well the idea of an early IE expansion. Surely, it is a ''kurganized'' culture.--] 09:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :We sorely need some maps of these cultures. At the moment I have no access to such maps, but if you are interested you could send me scans of any maps in the EIEC, and I'll provide public domain maps for Misplaced Pages :).--] 09:48, 11 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Sure, I will translate the Swedish article today, since you ask. The Unforgiven wants to rewrite the history of ] and claim that it is named after the Norwegians. I state that the Franks hardly knew the finer points of Scandinavian ethnicities, and that we are not here to rewrite history or publish original research.--] 08:12, 12 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ==Cu== | |||
| Well, I don't like "Copper Age" too much. It sounds like a four age system, Stone-Copper-Bronze-Iron, while it is rather subset of the Neolithic, much like the "Steel Age" is subset of the Iron Age. Not that I will lose sleep over the question, though, so feel free to use whatever you prefer. Nice work on all these obscure cultures, I'm really looking forward towards stuffing them all into maps! ] <small>]</small> 14:39, 12 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ==Minusa 2== | |||
| I've become curious about that evasive river, and frankly, I don't think there is a "Minusa River basin". It's a ghost river, or rather the brook of about 30 km visible site claims that Min Usa is Turkic for "my brook". Or, as site claims, it is Turkic for "thousand rivers", meaning that the whole area with all its little rivers is meant. In any case, I don't think we can confidently talk about a "Minusa River", it may as well be the "Minusa area", equalling the "Minusinsky area". ] <small>]</small> 15:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| : Folk etymology derives the name of the Minusa River from the Mongolian "mini-su" for "my river". Alternative interpretation derives the river's name from "minsug", i.e., "much water". In ], Minusug means "warm waters". I have no idea which etymology is correct, though. --] 20:15, 13 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ==Minusa 3== | |||
| As best I understand, the basin is named after the town of ] and not after two tiny Minusinka brooks which gave its name to the town. Neither the basin's name could be derived from the Minusa riverlet, for it would have been called "Minusskaya" and not "Minusinskaya" in this case.--] 20:31, 13 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

| == Stinking Satem problem == | |||
| Hi, FourthAge. I am not your enemy, false or true :-). And I am not a linguistic ignoramus, really. As I see, you are interested in archeology rather than in linguistic. Believe or not but our clash on ] was not needed for anybody. You seem to have read an IE encyclopedia and you seem to have learnt there that Satem is an areal term. But you know... I have read more books (in various languages) and I know that various authors present different views in this point. And, if the problem is not solved univocally, Misplaced Pages should note it. Especially that we do not talk about some (unimportant) authors but about a theory which has already been existing for a century and which is still alive and works as the basis for university students in some countries. Personally I think that the theory is right - of course this is unimportant for Wiki, and the only think I want is to mention that there are different opinions that the one which has already been presented. Is this bad? | |||
| And there is no reason to get excited. I do not want to be either false-friendly or offensive for you and I believe that you have had in mind Misplaced Pages to be up to the mark, and nothing more. But if an archeologist try to learn a linguist what linguistic terms mean... You must know what the reaction may be. So, let's better work on the same side, OK? And if I write something which you do not like, just talk to me. And we understand our points for sure. | |||

| PS, would you mind if I rename the ''corded ware culture'' article into the ''battle-axe culture''? The corded ware culture was a subgroup in central Europe. I guess the name is frequently used for the whole battle-axe culture, like ''England'' is used for ''Great Britain'', and ''Holland'' for the ''Netherlands'', but in Misplaced Pages it is better to be exact about the naming.--] 08:44, 16 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ==Naming== | |||
| Don't worry, I have seen so many naming disputes that I don't care that much. I am not suprised by what you're saying. The Central European ''corded ware'' culture is the most prominent and well-known. However, by reserving ''corded ware'' for the central European version, we can divide the article into the sections I propose. This is what I suggest based on ]: | |||
| #Corded Ware culture (central Europe) | |||
| #Swedish-Norwegian Battle-Axe culture | |||
| #Finnish Battle-Axe culture. | |||
| #Middle-Dniepr culture | |||

| == Pilpul == | |||
| The term is used in different ways. Frequently, English speakers refer to the actual pilpul process when using the term pilpul, and its use as "caustical hairsplitting" is indeed a colloquialism. Of course, if someone rarely speaks of the actual pilpul process, he isn't likely to use the term in that context more frequently than as a colloquialism. The term's colloquial meaning isn't entirely (and perhaps not even primarily) dependent on reference to Haredi learning style, though Haredim are often wrongly accused (by outsiders) of "caustical hairsplitting." So perhaps the end of the article could be revised to reflect that. ] <sup>]</font></sup> 14:44, 17 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

| :Hi. The "sod webworms" belong to ] and the term is mentioned briefly in that article. The term seems to be used as a catch-all for any crambid moth that causes some damage, not just ''Crambus spp'' as mentioned in the article (you have mentioned two other genera yourself). If you've got any further info it might be best to merge it into this article. ] 09:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi. All the species you have listed in your draft belong to Crambidae so the term does not seem to cross family borders. You seem to have enough here to warrant a separate article so my advice is go for it making sure you link to ] and vice versa. One point: pupae tend not to move at all! A better phrase may be "The larvae move down into the soil to pupate". Good luck. ] 11:27, 5 September 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ==Hey== | |||
| Just wanted to say you do an excellent job on the 1911EB stuff. I think at some point a lot of the articles are goning to need some review. I have been putting stuff on Page 16 that is missing or corrupted, and I may start adding a lot more cause a lot of these articles (as you said at comments to Page 15) are really corrupt or obsolete, but deserve articles. I'm also a categorizing fanatic, which is why I wanted to put a category on page 15. It helps me a lot to focus, and like with the taxonomy terms, I can go to places like the Wiki:Tree of Life and invite ppl to look at the terms and offer suggestions. Take a look at page 16 taxonomy terms, ppl have been coming in to make comments. It really helps to get more eyes looking at stuff. Someone may only want to work on Geography or biographies or stuff like that. I might just move the botany/science stuff to page 15. Anyway, I'm not trying to leave anything out, I'm just trying to help focus on things using space that's there for the taking. | |||
| Wonderful work on the Towns in Germany and other stuff! You can make interwiki links more easily by using this format: ]. A lot more compact. Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant. --] 12:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ==Samara & Dates== | |||
| Hello Mark. It seems I left my last message on the wrong page again. Sorry. It takes a while to learn the ropes. On the dates of the Samara, I just wanted to say how important all such dates are and what a state of flux they are in. Usually we see C-14 dates, but without calibration they aren't too accurate. This is a very confusing situation on the Internet. People may not say, this is calibrated or not. Then there are always conventional dates or dates derived from other methods. So you are likely to see almost any dates. But, the best kind are calibrated C-14 dates. One gets a scatter and then estimates the time period, or takes another's time period. I thought the section on Radiocarbon dating covered it reasonably well. So research on the dates is always a prerequisite. Otherwise you get all kinds of nonsense. V Gordon Childe is a case in point. He was a great lion. Then C-14 dating came in and invalidated much of his work. He jumped over a cliff, I believe, but there may have been other reasons. What I like about the Internet is, it often has the latest dates, but you have to be careful to keep your parachute handy. Best wishes, looking forward to your future critiques.] 13:37, 17 November 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Mark, I see you are making a lot of edits that seem to be well received judging from the comments here. However, I like to comment on your ], if I may? Editors rely on the edit summaries in an article history to quickly get a sense of the interaction. If these are missing, it is more time consuming to understand the article history. Moreover, good edit summaries are thought to be an important quality for an administrator, if you are interested in that. | |||
| Other editors may filter out minor edits to reduce clutter when viewing the article history. Since you are marking most of your edits minor, they may not even see your edits. May I ask if you are using the "Show preview" button? Checking your edits before you "Save page" reduces the clutter on the article history and user contribution pages.

| ==Vandalism== | |||
| edit falls far below the level of encyclopedic tone that we demand at Misplaced Pages. | |||
| To be precise, you do the following: | |||
| * Insert the word "corruptly" into a sentence resulting in "His only serious primary challenger, ], corruptly withdrew from the race to endorse Nussle and become his running mate." | |||
| * Add the following sentence: "Basically, he agreed to not denounce the current Nussle marriage as adulterous, and agreed to agree that adultery is is a good thing by Jesus." | |||
| The tone of this is unmistakable malicious. From this and other edits to the same and other articles , and particularly your edits on the talk page of the ] article it is easy to deduce that you have conceived the purpose of abusing Misplaced Pages in order to malign people whom you do not like. Because of its relentlessness and unreasonableness, this is vandalism. | |||
