Weber

Sure, a subarticle may be useful. Basically you have to decide which info is important enough to belong to the main article, and which would be of interest only to those specifically wanting to research Weber and German politics and thus should be moved to separate article. Be bold, it is your choice, just remember to add the book you are using to reference section of the related articles. I find your additions very interesting, this is a side of old Max that I didn't knew about... Welcome to wiki, and take care! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 19:14, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Some comments regarding your recent edit. First, communism did exist before Russian revolution, it was a term introduced by Marx in mid-1850, and AFAIK there is a consensut that Weber was anti-Marxist (thus anti-communist). Why did you deleted this part: "Even more damning from Weber's point of view, the command economy required of a communist state would increase bureaucratization, and result in even less freedom for the individual. Germany required strong charismatic leadership, not more burueacracy." and "He opposed the social-democratic party because of the socialists' lack of nationalism." And you need to work on your language - 'evil' is as NPOV as it comes (especially if you phrase it like you did: 'the anarchists are evil' - it is definetly non-encyclopedic). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 23:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Historical atlas

Hi, I have given the wikimaps project away (to Egil Kvaleberg), since I don not have the time to maintain it myself. I suppose you are refering to that. So, I'm afraid I won't be much help with a historical atlas project. --Magnus Manske 07:44, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid the Wikimap project is at a halt for the time being. Not out of lack of interest, but my Wikitime is currently in a state of 'deinal of service'. -- Egil 03:45, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

History of the World

Hello Daanschr,

I went to the blog you sent. Did you notice this person is from Leiden? I sent him an invitation to join the discussion. There are a surprisingly small number of people actively interested in the article. In the past I did not gain support from the other (two) participants, one of which is the original writer (User:SimonP). I added some small additions and they were removed. RCSB 21:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Daanschr. Have you decided to rewrite History of the World? Before reading Ponting? I would need to take a VERY BIG breath before embarking on such a project. It is much easier for you, I think, because you are very erudite in history. That's my impression from perusing your contributions. For myself history is just an interest; and I'm interested really in the large-scale view and therefore I don't have the factual knowledge needed for challenging an established article. I could do it, but I would need to do a lot of research. In the past, as I told you, I only tried to make minor adjustments to the article. But you are absolutely right that it needs a massive reworking and generally I agree with your views. So I don't want to say "Let's do it!" and then disappoint. But if you are intent on doing this with or without anybone else, then I will be willing to help where I can. RCSB 18:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Go ahead and revise it. Unfortunately I don't have enough time right now for such a big project. I will help if I can. RCSB 08:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Looks like I might have accidently deleted some text as we were both writing at the same time sorry ill step out of the kitchen. Please use the main template instead of linking section headers per MoS thanks. --Stbalbach 16:53, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes I think its ok, seems to be a commonly held narrative/model, less academic than along specialist field names. --17:03, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

John II, Count of Hainaut

You recently added this text to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals: "The data of John II, Count of Hainaut is probably not correct. He succeeded Margaret II, Countess of Flanders and not John I, Count of Hainaut. John II was actually John I, so the name of the article should be changed." I just want to tell you that such comments should be left on the article's talk page, which is where I moved it to. The WikiProject Stub sorting is about the creation and use of stub templates and categories. Aecis 13:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Stedingers

Oh yeah, I guess that was lost along with all the other stuff, sorry. You can add that back if you want...there should probably be another section in that article for "crusades" like that. The attacks on the Jews are mentioned in the articles about the First Crusade and Second Crusade, and more extensively in the Peoples' Crusade (part of the First Crusade series of articles).

List of state leaders in 18 BC

Hi Daanschr, List of state leaders in 18 BC is a superset of List of state leaders in 18BC. If you're interested would you look at what needs to be done in the related articles (List of state leaders in 19 BC etc.)? —Quarl 2006-01-25 18:03Z

Hi Quarl,
I used the format as presented by the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Leaders by year. All BC years there have a spacebar between the numbers and BC. The article List of state leaders in 18BC was probably aimed at being known as List of state leaders in 18 BC, seeing that it refers to article were the spacebar is at the right place.
My sugestion is that both articles are merged by deleting my data and deleting the title with 18BC.--Daanschr 18:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes, that is the obvious thing to do for that article. Could you also work on all the other years that are missing the data? For example all the years after 18 BC are missing the info. —Quarl 2006-01-25 18:32Z
