== I fixed punctuation on the Planet V article, and you broke it again. ==

The second paragraph of the [[Planet V]] article contains this sentence fragment, which due to an erroneous period renders an incomplete sentence:

"While long-lived this orbit was unstable on a time-scale of 600 Myr. Eventually perturbations from the other inner planets drove Planet V onto a high-eccentricity orbit which crossed into the inner asteroid belt."

I corrected this grammatical error, and received a message that I had made "unhelpful edits" which were reverted. If I'm not allowed to fix this obvious mistake, then perhaps you'd like to do so, or at least explain why fixing a blatant grammar error was "unhelpful."

Boyle Roche passed as GA

I have completed my review of Boyle Roche and passed it as a Good Article. Congratulations! This is a fine piece of work, and it's been a pleasure working with you to fix the last 1% or so to bring it to this status. Choess 01:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom or Great Britain by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

Maps and assessment

Sure, I can do some maps for 104B and 481 (that is, once the Maps task force settles on a proposal). Once the proposal's set, those maps'll be my first priority. (BTW, if you'd like to take a look at and/or comment on the proposals, check this page out. Any and all input is welcome.)

As for NY 104B, I juggled for a minute or so on whether to make 104B start-class or B-class. I think what caused me to rate it start-class was the short route description. I see your point completely - it's a very short road in the relative middle of nowhere, so writing about the road would be difficult. Still, if a couple more lines of description were added to the route description (maybe the names/numbers of the county roads it passes, general progression direction (north-south, etc), for example), I'd probably be inclined to upgrade the article to B-class.

Robber Baron

According to the FTC John Mackey is a trust-creating robber barron http://www.wholefoods.com/blogs/jm/archives/2007/06/

Well I do think we need to include modern RBs in the list, although this term was frequently used in the 1800s, it is important to note RBs can certainly exist in any time. In fact, I would argue that The term may now be used in relation to any businessman or banker pursuing various allegedly anti-competitive or unfair business practices. But you are certainly right that we shouldn't only include one modern person in the list.

As to the libal issue, including Mackey (or anyone else) would carry no more legal liablity than if I created a list of assholes and threw a bunch of names on it, as these are often subjective terms rather than objective and false facts. Mackey is pursuing various anti-competitive & unfair business practices according to the FTC. (of course so are many others, and I have no objection to including mulitiple modern day RBs). XM 16:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't heard back from you. Added J. Mackey back to the list. If you come up with some more modern day robber barons, please feel free to add them so JM isn't the only one on the list. XM 18:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I tries again. Thank you for your patience, and little tutorial, it is appreciated. I used new quotes from songs this time, as they actually mention BC or a place name of BC in them so it seems to better comply. I couldn't find a template to use that had notes very well, so just indented it in. I could only find the place name of New York City, which I combined with your notes. There were not too, too many places on wikiquote as theme pages. I found that interesting. I will have to see what the other Canadian portals link to on wikiquote.

For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 17:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback fail

You reverted a fix to Esterel Studio, such that the article now links 'IP' in the phrase 'hardware IPs' to IP Address. "Hardware Internet Protocol Address" is a non-sequitur, whereas "hardware Intellectual Property Core" is a commonly used phrase, as described in the article Semiconductor intellectual property core. I didn't want to reedit an article after you reverted my edit, so I came here to request that you fix the link to point to the correct meaning of hardware IP. 130.216.25.217 (talk) 23:10, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I removed a warning template on User talk:190.27.194.98.

Vandalism

I think this is a vandalism. --79.56.203.59 (talk) 12:57, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Put a /citation needed/ tag on unsourced informations is not a vandalism. The real vandalism is putting false sources in order to remove the citation needed tag, as done by Special:Contributions/160.39.81.174 who, as you can see, removed a sourced information saying it was "wrong". I think this IP is a sockpuppet of Special:Contributions/Hap791, a monothematic user. I think also this user spreaded all around the web the false information about the "philanthropy" of ms. Ferreyr.

antemurale cristianitatis

Hi,

I erased a section of the article that mentions Croatia in the antemurale christianitatis myth article. I noticed the automated message, and decided to contact you. There is no antemurale "myth" in Croatian culture. Pope Leo X branded Croatians and Croatia as bulwark of christianity, so it is not something "invented" by Croats later during history. The other nations mentioned in the article are correctly portrayed, especially Serbians and Albanians. After the Kosovo battle in 1389. Serbian kingdom vanished, only to reappear in 1878. after the Berlin congress when it was officially recognized as independent. (they did have two uprisings in the beginning of 19th century, but they were officially recognized only after the Berlin congress in 1878. ) There was no Serbian kingdom or land during that period, everything else is just a Serbian nationalist myth! So the antemurale myth, is obviously present in Serbian culture, but not in Croatian. Serbians also falsely claim that they settled entire Croatian military frontier, and than defended Europe from Turks. However, this extract from a Wikipedia article shows that Military Frontier was dominantly Croat inhabited, but also inhabited by other ethnic groups because Croatian demography started to decline.

According to the official Austrian census from 1850-1851, the population of the Military Frontier numbered 958,877 inhabitants.

Population by ethnicity:[7][8]

Croats = 480,494 (50.1%) Serbs = 310,964 (32.4%) Romanians = 113,723 (11.9%) Germans = 37,875 (3.9%) Slovaks and Czechs = 8,822 (0.9%) Hungarians = 4,985 (0.5%)

Lastly, there is a heated historical debate regarding "Serbians" in the Croatian Military Frontier. Historians believe that there was between 25000 and 36000 thousand Serbs who fled into the Croatian Military Frontier, and they were led by patriarch Arsenije Čarnojević. When he settled he saw that a part of Croatian Military Frontier population was orthodox, but not Serbian! They were Vlachs. Vlachs originate from today's Romania, it was called Wallachia by the German officials of that period. Germans asked these Vlachs to settle in the Croatian Military Frontier (because of the fall in Croatian HDI during that period), and in return, Vlachs asked for certain rights. Germans awarded them with Statuta Valachorum. As you know Serbians have an autonomous Church called Serbian Orthodox Church. So Čarnojević started a proces of Serbianisation (there is a Wikipedia article about this strange phenomenon) of these Vlachs which lasted roughly between 150 and 200 years. After some period they were Serbianized and they started to furiously deny their Vlach origin (they were possibly ashamed of it?) and they started to create more and more problems for Croats, as they were constantly used as a tool of a Greater Serbian aspirations towards Croatian territory. This culminated in 1991. when they created a puppet state within Republic of Croatia called "Republic of Serbian Krajina". Lastly, their "lordship" in Republic of Croatia was put to an end by a swift military operation called Operation Storm 95.

There is also a historical source called "Ethnographic map of austrian monarchy by Czoernig from 1855." In this source it is visible that there was more Croats (625028) in the Croatian Military Frontier than there were "Serbians" (222062).

antemurale myth

Hi,

I registered with a normal account as I want to contribute more to the article. Since I showed in my last post and substantiated with a couple of references that there is no myth about Croatia as bulwark of Criatianity is it OK if I now erase the section about Croatian antemurale myth, or should I add those sources that state otherwise and leave the article as it is?

Jewish Cossacks

Dear Ubiquity, Cossacks were the military estate of the Russian empire. They belonged to different civil estates as well. (This is why Kornilov mentioned both his father's Cossack ethnicity and military estate and his father's peasant civil estate in his appeals). The civil estate called Cossacks as well united the part of the former Ukrainian (Malorussian) Cossacks, which were much less numerous. All surnames of Ukrainian Cossacks of Jewish origin, mentioned in the article, were surnames of Cossacks, promoted to nobility and not to the civil estate of Cossacks after the disbandment of Cossack regiments. There is now human trafficking in Russia, where adolescents are explained that Russian Cossacks contrary to Ukrainian ones have never been Orthodox Catholics. Traffickers distribute wild rumors, that Russian Cossacks have always been Orthodox pagan LGBTs ("circular asses") having nothing common with heterosexual people, especially Jews, to recruit children into their pagan "circular asses". But Mikhail Sholohov chose a Jewish actress to play his Aksinya character in the "Quiet Don" movie, because her anthropological type was suitable only. Most probably, there were less atamans and colonels of Jewish origin on Don just because the much bigger faction of Don Cossacks considered themselves of Jewish origin and prayers to the Holy Mother were efficacious, in their opinion, even without atamans of Jewish origin . When empress Elizabeth had ordered not to send Don Cossacks of Jewish origin to Europe, the Don Cossack Host archive was fired.

Ubiquity is correct. The IP 178 edits are OR at best, and mostly are illiterate nonsense.--Lute88 (talk) 00:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Accident different page :)

Sorry that was an accident wrong button push :) I was trying to edit the Historical Jesus section and pressed wrong button. I was confused by the weight that the article attributed to testimonies of Tacitus and Josephus about Jesus as a historical figure, while dismissing any other point of view.

Records referencing Jesus by Josephus have been universally acknowledged as a editorial forgery by Eusebius. (reference Nathaniel Lardner, Adolf von Harnack, Charles Guignebert, Dr. Gordon Stein). The testimony of Tacitus has been also put into question because of it's historicity: the term Christiani was not yet invented at the time of Tacitus (evident from writings of Seneca), no contemporary christian theologian like Tertullian (a Tacitus scholar) or Clement of Alexandria ever mentions this passage. The article also mentions nothing of the fact that there is no evidence of village under the name Nazareth existing in the time attributed by New Testament to Jesus.

The whole article needs an overhaul as it presents the issue of historical Jesus in a bias of christian apologist point of view. It favors sweeping theological dismissals over historical objectiveness. An example of such bias is using Robert Van Voorst, a christian theologian and pastor, for a final judgement on validity of evidence. His conflict of interests in evaluating the matter is painfully obvious and can hardly be considered as valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.196.90.88 (talk) 18:49, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed punctuation on the Planet V article, and you broke it again.

The second paragraph of the Planet V article contains this sentence fragment, which due to an erroneous period renders an incomplete sentence:

"While long-lived this orbit was unstable on a time-scale of 600 Myr. Eventually perturbations from the other inner planets drove Planet V onto a high-eccentricity orbit which crossed into the inner asteroid belt."

I corrected this grammatical error, and received a message that I had made "unhelpful edits" which were reverted. If I'm not allowed to fix this obvious mistake, then perhaps you'd like to do so, or at least explain why fixing a blatant grammar error was "unhelpful." 173.166.110.9 (talk) 16:48, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
