Update and tidying

Hi. I've updated and tidied my Talk pages. As this affects a discussion you were party to, it is only fair to let you know. I've also expanded my reference to pre-Crusade Islamic attacks on, and in, Europe. You might be particularly interested in the comment about the sacking of Marseilles in 838 and 848.

Many thanks for letting me know. Even here in the middle of Cambridge I am surrounded by reminders of Marseille: a giant box of navettes (religious biscuits) brought by two visiting French graduate students and an even larger book of the history of Marseille which records the two Saracen sackings (pillages) in its chronology. I have instructed the students to keep a low profile during the France-England rugby match today and not to to use the word vengeance :) Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 10:32, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Europe

Cambridge I see? I live there too. Anyway on 2nd March you corrected a minor error of mine with this edit summary: " correcting ungrammatical error of Harland1 - do we really need this kind of unencyclopedic content from curret newspaper reports?". I was wondering what was 'unencyclopeadic' about the statement I added? Harland1 (/_c) 18:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps economic indicators that change day by day according to newspaper reports are not really encyclopedic. Mathsci (talk) 21:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

It was the Financial Times, but I agree with you it should probably be taken out and I will do so. Harland1 (/_c) 17:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Pas de problème :) Mathsci (talk) 12:34, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors.

Hello fellow wikipedian i see you may be new to wiki, you do not have the authority to remove a tag,what you did could be misconstrued as vandalism,one or two people is not a consensus though i did remove the tag from the top of the article and moved it to the regions sections where i am disputeing the neutrality,because it only labels one opinion of the classifications of european regions namely only the u.n's but leaves out others whether it be unesco or namely the C.I.A world fact book where if you click the follwing portal, Western Europe has both cia world factbook regions for europe and the united nations whichs makes it neutral,please reconsider your opinion if you strive for neutrality poor grammar is not a basis enough to dismiss somebodys claims--Wikiscribe (talk) 13:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Please cease with subtle insults, it seems you are whats wrong with wiki you think you are smarter than you really are, wiki was not set up to try and prove one persons superior intellect over somebody else's by showing there gramatical prowess.I did fix the talk page message because it may have been incoherent to some but still you do not have the right to insult and remove tags, you should have just left me a message on my talk page and let me know that my message was incoherent, so maybe we could have worked something out and helped fix the problem and clear up the matter,instead you chose the low road.Also i am calm and my message about you lacking wiki etiquette was proper and kind without insult,so if you would stop with the sarcastic intelligence insults and maybe work to make the article neutral you would be much more useful to the wikipedian community instead of jumping down peoples throats because it's easy to do when you don't have to face the person--Wikiscribe (talk) 21:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
