Translations

Hello ClarkSui, I notice in your user page a list of articles, many from the Spanish wikipedia which you have translated directly but have not placed the template indicating that the articles were in fact translated. I had participated in some of those articles, correcting and adding bibliography which I see has been copied directly in the English version without mentioning that the article is a translation from another wikipedia, as recommended in [1] I'm not sure about en.wikipedia, but in the Spanish version, we must indicate, when applicable, if an article has been translated from another wikipedia.

The ones I checked (not all in the table in your user page) and which are translations from the Spanish wikipedia are as follows (all created recently - end of March, early April):

• Pedro Fernández de Fuentencalada translated from Pedro Fernández de Castro «Potestad» [2]. By the way, Fuentencalada is incorrect (no "n" in the middle) and there is no House of Fuentecalada and he is better known as a Castro.
• Pedro Alfonso de León, translated from [3]
• Rodrigo Íñiguez translated from [4]
• Gonzalo Ruiz Girón, translated from [5]
• Pedro Núñez, translated from the very poor and unreferenced Spanish version [6]
• Pedro Ruiz de Villegas II translated from [7]. This one should have been left untranslated. If you check the talk page in the Spanish version, you will see a long argument I had with the original author who claimed the Villegas came from the Laras, had included many undocumented facts, and it was I who placed two warning signs on that article which still requires a total overhaul and references and is not worth translating, in its current Spanish version, into English.

There are other articles which you also translated, such as Alonso Meléndez de Guzmán, Garci Álvarez de Toledo (Grand Master of Santiago), Pedro Muñiz de Godoy y Sandoval, Garci Lasso de la Vega I and Garci Lasso de la Vega II (I worked pretty hard on these two in the Spanish version correcting all the errors in the original article and adding references and bibliography), all without indicating that they are translations. Regards, --Maragm (talk) 11:41, 17 April 2012 (UTC) PD: I mentioned this to another user at en.wikipedia and he has confirmed that these articles should be tagged as translations.[8] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maragm (talk • contribs) 14:36, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I left a message in the talk page of user Agricolae [9] since he also edits articles on Spanish genealogy. I see that you continue to translate articles from the Spanish wiki without tagging such articles as translations. I have participated in some of those articles in es.wiki, doing research and including good references. It's only fair (and necessary due to copyright issues) that you tag those articles that you are translating as translations, and, of course, you should fully translate and not leave phrases or references in Spanish. Regards, --Maragm (talk) 07:36, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, the explanations on the template is here: [10]. It should be placed on the discussion page. Also, on the article on Pedro Fernández de Fuentencalada, I suggest you change his name since he is generally known as a Castro, but in any case, it's Fuentecalada without the "n" in the middle. Also, the page on Mécia Lopes de Haro, you should check if it would be preferable to have her as Mencía López de Haro since she was Spanish, not portuguese. Not all the articles in es.wiki on these medieval characters are correct. I try to correct as much as possible but haven't gotten around to all of them, so if you have any doubts, you can contact me. The one on the Villegas, is really incorrect since those filiations in the article in Spanish have not been confirmed. Regards, --Maragm (talk) 09:07, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

I named him Pedro Fernández de Castro «Potestad» in es.wiki. You can also add him to: Pedro Fernández de Castro (disambiguation) and then paste the

Casa de la Vega

Hi, I just wrote to the author of that article to tell him that the succession box is wrong. Firstly, there is no proof that Diego Gómez (who would not be an Aza) was the head of this lineage, plus, if he was, there would be a few more generations before getting to the first Garci Lasso. I asked him to remove that box since it only adds to confusion. The ancestry of the first Garci Lasso is not documented, even though some authors say he was the son of a Rui Pérez de la Vega, but there is no documentary proof of that, and like I mentioned before, thre are a few generations before we would get to the hypothetical ancestor, Diego Gómez. Regards, --Maragm (talk) 06:44, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

On Álava

Hi ClarkSui, I noticed that you added the coat of arms of Álava to the articles on Rodrigo of Castile, Álvaro Herrameliz, Fernán González of Castile. At that time, no coats of arms were used and, most importantly, the boundaries of Álava at that time were quite different from the current ones. Also, on Sancha Sánchez de Pamplona, I think that it would be more correct to call her Sancha Sánchez of Pamplona (the same as in, for example, the first two characters I mention above.

Al-Andalus as a belligerent

I note that in the page Battle of Rueda you list one belligerent side as Al-Andalus. This term is a generic adjective for the portion of Iberia under muslim occupation/rule, and not a state. (It would be like saying the British fought the Battle of Cowpens against troops from the eastern seaboard, then listing Eastern Seaboard as a belligerent.) I will fix this one, but you would know better which others you might have created with the same problem - Al-Andalus should be replaced with Emirate of Cordoba, Caliphate of Cordoba, or the specific Taifa involved. Agricolae (talk) 13:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC) Hi Agricolae, Good point there. I had just translated directly from the Spanish version for the article in question, thanks for the help. -ClarkSui

Siege of Lilybaeum (250 BC)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Siege of Lilybaeum (250 BC), and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/siege_lilybaeum.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

I'm not sure why the Coren Search BOT identified this article as a copyright violation. I checked your text against the source and it appears completely different. (The BOT does make errors!)

Hi Dan, while the text is a bit different, it is true that the general content is very similar, not sure if it is different enough to meet wiki standards. The article probably needs to be rewritten, I'll get to it later. Have already mentioned the translation on the talk page, just put the disclaimer in the References section to make sure nobody was confused. Thanks for your help - Clark

Speedy deletion nomination of Grand Masters of the Order of Calatrava

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Grand Masters of the Order of Calatrava requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. --IShadowed 01:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

I've removed the CSD tag that I had placed on your article, as I concluded that it would be reasonable to assume it a list. In the future, please indicate the subject/purpose of the article with a lead section "Example is..." or, in this case "The following is a list of..." etc. Thanks! --IShadowed 01:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Spanish translation

I notice your work on Juan de Castilla y Haro. Are you interested in translating some other articles on the Kings of Leon and Castile and their family and children?--The Emperor's New Spy (talk) 04:57, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Here are some shorter requests like John II of Castile, Henry I of Castile, Ordoño III of León, Sancho I of León, Ordoño IV of León, García I of León and Sancho Ordóñez, which I think only need a few extra sections. On the larger sides are Ferdinand IV of Castile or John of Castile, Lord of Valencia de Campos. I've started listing some here too. The smaller one on the verge of completion are my bigger concern though.--The Emperor's New Spy (talk) 05:04, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi ClarkSui and Emperor, sorry to butt in, but I wanted to mention something. I participate mainly in es.wiki and going over the articles on kings and queens I noticed that they needed to be cleaned up a bit, expanded, corrected, etc. I made a working list on a personal page, which you can check here [11]. Another user and I are going over them, erasing stuff that is not correct, adding more references, etc. and the ones on the list with a checkmark after them have been revised already. If you're going to start translating the kings and queens, maybe you should start with these so you don't include the mistakes that we will be cleaning up. Best regards, --Maragm (talk) 08:55, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Maragm, well noted with your list, I think I had actually seen that before, so we can work from that. Best, -Clark Sui (talk) 02:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Lope Díaz de Haro

Hello Clark Sui, It just came to my attention that you made this edit in the article on Lope Díaz de Haro in the es.wiki: [12]. That is incorrect. This Lope Díaz de Haro was not a señor de Vizcaya and the roman numeral would lead readers to believe that he was since this is the way we have been naming the various holders of this title. Also, there are others with the same name and it would be quite difficult to keep track if we start adding Roman numerals to all, in the event that other articles are written on characters with the same name in the future (and there are quite a few). This has led to a discussion on the respective page in es.wiki. I see that in en.wiki you have named him Lope Díaz IV de Haro. I created a disambiguation page for the various characters named Lope D. de H., I had originally moved the title to Lope Díaz de Haro (m. 1322) believing that it was more correct, even though another option, which we will be discussing in es.wiki, is to name him something like Lope Díaz de Haro (señor de Orduña). Regards, --Maragm (talk) 07:29, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi ClarkSui, I don't think I would name that character you mentioned with a Roman numeral in the title. In the case of the señores de Vizcaya who share the same name, it makes sense, but if a new titleholder came up who had anothr name I would not add it unless there were others afterwards with the same name, which in respect of these señores de Vizcaya, is not the case. Best regards, --Maragm (talk) 08:32, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

I changed the interwiki in the Spanish version and will do likewise in the article you just renamed after we decide on the name. Many thanks, --Maragm (talk) 08:42, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Good morning, ClarkSui, I finally opted for Lope Díaz de Haro (m. 1322). You don't have to follow suit and can leave it as you prefer. I checked to see if there was any rule against adding a date in the title of an article and did not find any, and I just think this is clearer since we have cases where people share the same title, have no nicknames, etc. and the date is the only choice in order to differentiate them (e.g. the two Elvira Menéndez, queens of Asturias. Best regards, --Maragm (talk) 09:44, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Collapsed campaignbox

I have modified Template:Campaignbox Reconquista to accept "collapsed" as a parameter, added this when the campaignbox appears in Siege of Málaga (1487), Siege of Algeciras (1342–1344) and Siege of Algeciras (1369), and removed Template:History of Spain from these articles. I am in strongly in favor of navigational templates, but in these cases the effect was to push the maps, which may help a reader understand the article, down to the back where they will be hard to find. Collapsing Template:Campaignbox Reconquista solves part of the problem. I don't think Template:History of Spain is appropriate. The siege articles are part of the Reconquista series, and that in turn is part of the History of Spain series. To me, a navigational template should only appear in articles that are listed in the template, and as stated in the essay on Wikipedia:Navigation templates (not a guideline, but sensible in my view), few articles need more than one sidebar. Maybe just my personal preference. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks - I hope my note was not too abrupt. Again, navigation templates like Template:Campaignbox Reconquista are really valuable in encouraging readers to browse to other articles. But a map can be important in helping the reader understand the article they are reading, particularly with military subjects. So there is a balance to be struck.

Second Latin War

Hello ClarkSui. Recently you moved this article. It has been proposed at WP:RM/TR to move it back. There is a discussion at Talk:Second Latin War suggesting that this name can't be supported in the literature. One editor stated "I'm worried that by moving this page to its current location we are displacing nomenclature well-established in reliable sources with an artificial Wikipedia-only creation."

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

• dates
• years
• commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
• common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

(This even applies to infoboxes.)

Thanks, and my best wishes.

PS You might consider now widening the year-range column a little.

List of current Grandees of Spain

Hola ClarkSui

I like the way you have reworked the table of Grandes de España: this of course creates more work which, if it is to be completed satisfactorily, will require a group effort - so unsure why you stated publicly your disagreement, without explanation, as to whether Spanish noble titles should be displayed in their original Spanish form or (bad) English?

Let's work together on this - a very good & informative layout - I like it, so long as it is completed correctly!

L'honorable (talk) 19:51, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

PS. the Spanish nobility article should maintain consistency between the various noble ranks: dukedom, marquessate, countship, viscountcy & barony (ie. Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, Baron). — Preceding unsigned comment added by L'honorable (talk • contribs) 20:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic).

If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized.

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

User group for Military Historians

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
