== [[Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Christman Genipperteinga]] ==

Greetings, I've done some initial formatting and made some comments. Broadly speaking, this is a [[WP:Notable]] topic and definitely worth covering, so good call. A few things to work on:

* The article currently lacks [[WP:Footnoting]]. What you need to do is going into wherever you got this story from (the 1500s pamphlet or the 1800s book) and render them as citations (see [[WP:CITEHOW]]). Ideally with the URL for the source included in the citation for the reader's convenience.
* The article appears to have a big issue with [[WP:Original research]]. That is, there appear to be a lot of points where you personally make "logical assumptions", which is unfortunately inadmissible. Things like "They he said XYZ, by which we can assume that..." just can't be used. I've marked these as "original research" in many places. Even things like "he was the most prolific serial killer" are assessments which ''must'' be cited to a reliable authority (academic of criminal history, etc) or else removed, even if you personally have done lots of reading and reasonably concluded he is the record holder. Reading [[WP:No original research]] might really help here.
*All the material you have about his legend, mythical stories based on him, etc. ''must'' be clearly footnoted to whatever writer/academic made that conclusion.
* Minor thing, but is there any chance either of the old books have any images/woodcuts/drawings of this person? If so, those would be a great addition.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions. Just post your question here, and then come to my Talk page and simply post <code><nowiki>{{talkback|User talk:Arildnordby}}</nowiki></code> and that will let me know to come here and rejoin the conversation.

Than you for constructive criticisms!
I have what to me is a fairly major issue that as yet is not broached:
16th century place names, and the degree to which we may identify them with modern locations, and whether that identification should be made into an explicit assumption.

The place names in the original 1581 are:

Page 1:
1. "Bergkessel":
I have given this as "Bernkastel-Kues (an der Mosel)", on basis of Kirschslager's: http://www.historische-serienmoerder.de/index.php?id=serienmoerder&mid=14

2. "Lochem an der Mussel"
The town Cochem (an der Mosel) seems to fit the bill, a minor typographical error source of discrepancy?

3. "Meintz"
I have rendered this as "Mainz", which out to be unproblematical.

Page 2:
4. "Körpen"
No such town turns up on google, but the town "Kerpen" lies some miles from Cologne, as stated in the text. I have given a link to "Kerpen"
5. "Cölln"
This cannot be anything else than Köln, i.e, Cologne.
6. "Trier", "Metz"
Unproblematic.
7. "Dietenhoffen"
"Dietenhofen" and "Dideneuwen" are the German names of French Thionville, and ought to be unproblematical.

8. "Lützelburger Landt"
Prior to 1661, a county called "Lützelburg" was part of Holy Roman Empire; it is now called Lutzelbourrg. I have made the assumption this is what is referred to with the original.
 
Page 3:
9. "Popert"
This is, by Kirschlager, identified with the Rhine town "Boppard", and I have made that assumption.
----------------
Question is if these choices are permissible by me.
I have worked on some of your suggestions, will look into the others.

::Hmmmm... I am really not the person to ask about those. I would suggest, once the article publishes, that you copy that post and put it on the Talk page. ''Generally'' speaking I would say that "reasonable assumptions" on placenames may be okay, but if you feel you're stretching at all, just don't provide any link for now. But Germany geography isn't my thing.

::My main concerns are just removing the more serious OR where you yourself are coming to researcher-like conclusions, or where there are academic conclusions made by researchers but you haven't given a citation. That, and then just making proper footnotes to the 1500s and 1800s book and putting those at the end of whichever paragraphs were derived from them. I wouldn't necessarily refer to either of the early books as "primary sources", as I understand them, since they are an outsider's observation of the events. Actual [[WP:Primary sources]] would be if you found the killer's diary, or went digging in city archives to find his death certificate to get the date or something. So though ideally modern peer-review works are preferred, footnoting to the 1800s book is fine. The part where you ''really'' need citations is the section analysing how a true story became a fairy tale or troll-type legend. The parts that are Kirschlager's work need to be clearly cited to whatever article Kirschlager made those remarks in, and any parts which are ''your'' personal assessment (that the story is crude, magical, etc) need to be removed, unless you can cite them to a published academic paper. Makes sense so far? [[User:MatthewVanitas|MatthewVanitas]] ([[User talk:MatthewVanitas|talk]]) 20:49, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

A few comments:
1. The 1581 account is unpaged, and would not a blanket reference to it at the top, as I've put in (if nothing else is stated, the statements are from that account) serve the needs of reference?
2.As for "primary sources": Primary sources are those closest to the original events (in this case a week or two), and does not depend upon other material at our disposal. (A found court record would simply make the "primary source" we have today into a secondary source. If that is forever lost, the pamphlet from 1581 is the closest account we'll ever have)
3. The section on "folklore and legend" is, as you say, a main concern (in its present form, I wouldn't complain if that section was pulled entirely). The problem as I see it is that I do NOT want to publish an article in which the fantastical story from 1581 becomes a report on True Crime, rather than quite possibly, just a novel of "True Crime".
That is:
Some sort of caution to the general reader that the story might not be true at all ought to be issued. But, I admit, I made a mess of how such a caution should be made..:-(

== On planes ==

Hey, I see you went back & forth between [[Transverse plane]] & [[Sagittal plane]] when it came to the impalement direction (front to back/v.v.). I also went through that in my head. I'm  pretty sure a legitimate argument could be made for either plane, but I suppose I went with "transverse" because I thought it would have a little more word-recognition among readers. If you want to change it up, I don't mind. We could also try checking the medical sources over at [[penetrating trauma]], and see if there is anything useful there. [[User:Boneyard90|Boneyard90]] ([[User talk:Boneyard90|talk]]) 13:09, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
::
Actually, when I have rethought this, the only strictly meaningful geometric term would be "coronally directed", that is along the vector normal to the "coronal plane" (there are an infinity of included vectors in all three planes, but only one unique direction vector associated to each, namely the vector normal of the plane). But, neither "coronal" or "sagittal" are common-usage, and I agree that IF we are to use a latin word here, "transversal" is best. But, is it then "right" to link to anatomic planes?
My first edit was to use the colloquial "across" instead, then specifying, as an example, through the abdmon (it could also go through the chest).

I can't tell you how impressed I am at the thorough job you've done with the article [[Impalement]]. I hope you don't mind if I continue to tweak it as far as syntax or whatever. When you're finished, and it's fully cited, you should consider taking it to Good Article status.

:::Oh, I also wanted to add: if your review gives you a hard time about the ''Vietnam'' section of the [[Impalement]] article, go ahead and offer to delete it. Past editors have refused to believe that the Vietnamese ever committed such (or any) atrocities, or declare that a CIA source is not reliable (their POV), but never have any sources to back up their points. However, it is a contentious issue, so if your reviewer gives you a hard time, delete the section, and at some point in the future, I could add the information again with more sources. Good luck.

::: I find the Vietnam section ''sufficiently'' referenced to be included in Wikipedia, unless "really strong" counter-evidence is presented. I have, however, chosen to "pad" the "Ottoman" section, by both adding roughly contemporary allegations relative Ali Pasha, and important info on Diakos' fate and the Tripiolitsa massacre, in order to put into perspective the monments given in the "nationalst" source utilized in that section relative to depredations committed by ''Turks''.[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 15:05, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

== Suggestion ==

Looks like I was premature in my earlier idea that you might submit some of the article for Good Article status. I suggest taking one to [[Wikipedia:Peer review]].

: Thanks for the idea. I was rather miffed by the unexplained and unreviewed removal. However, quite before that, I had on my own rather a few thoughts that I really ought to have concentrated and comprised the article, for benefit for the readers marginally interested in the theme, so that a ''Main Usages'' section summarizes the principal arenas where this type of punishment was used. Interested readers may follow the links, sparing other readers to read through endless cases of very similar nature, that are better preserved to simply being evidence of ''main'' usage.

== Re: Appreciate your effort to clarify on Impalement, but.. ==

Oh.  Well when I hit "And, lo and behold!" I thought I was reading a quotation...  I really hate to stifle voice, but that part was so jarring and confusing that, well, I made that edit, lol.  

Another thing, I looked at [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Impalement&diff=542443297&oldid=542441800 this] edit, but that reads to me the same as it did before.  When you say, "so that one of the ends were pushed into the anus" that says to me that from above this hanging person, they are pushing the stake DOWN.  And you say, "severed head was then placed on the protruding end", but if both ends of the stake are sharpened, there will be two protruding ends.  This is ambiguous.  Thoughts?

There is no mention in Warkworth that the stake completelely penetrated the body, just that one of the ends were forced down the anus. As for the lo and behold!

There are 144 instances of the word "impaled" in the text, 100 of which could be changed to "impaled alive". So please, go ahead, do it!. The fact that soldiers have been known to shoot at corpses of their enemies does not mean we have to go around writing that peopla are "shot alive" just to make sure people know they were still alive when they were shot. So, where we are talking about the ritual of impaling corpses as a form of humiliation, yes, let's make that clear, elesewhere it is just bad writing '''OR''' an older form of English as can be seen from the quotations.

Hi [[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]], Thanks for your comments. I've not reviewed [[Impalement]], but I spent about twenty minutes last night just looking at it, and on that basis alone, I don't believe that the lead is compliant with [[WP:Lead#Introductory text]] in two respects. Firstly, of relative emphasis and, secondly, length, the lead is usually a three or four paragraph section and for an article of that length twice the size would be more typical. (Note: the requirement is covered in the review process by [[WP:WIAGA]] clause 1(b)). At this point in time I don't intend to do anything about it, as I'm going on holiday and I suspect that the article is not sufficiently bad to justify re-reviewing it at [[WP:GAR]] (I can't think of a better expression to cover this). (Note: had it been, I would have opened a review last night). As I've said elsewhere I don't believe that the article was reviewed at /GA2: it was merely "rubber-stamped" with a "pass" by an editor who was already a minor contributor to the article. The review was opened at 21:10, 9 April 2013 and the reviewer  made three edits to the article during the life of the review (and there is nothing wrong with that, as that might have been "problem fixing" but they could have been documented in the review); and seventeen edits in total to the article; but there is no evidence that it was ever reviewed against the criteria. I have no wish to put you and the article through a reassessment as the "problems" appear to be due solely to a new reviewer misusing / abusing the review process. These things have happened before and undoubted they will happen again. It was an article that I had intended to review, probably in mid May, if no one got there first (and I fail slightly less than 10% of what I review, so I doubt that I would have failed it). I will look at the article in early May, when I return - I may even fix the lead myself, well you might have get there first. However, as it was clearly not reviewed, see comments above, I'm not sure what other problems might emerge. [[User:Pyrotec|Pyrotec]] ([[User talk:Pyrotec|talk]]) 15:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
:: OK. If I understand you correctly, the lead should be ''expanded'' in such a manner that the "most important" elements are given more explicit weight than the "less important"? I thought I might mention in the lead primary areas for use, but decided against it, because then the content in "Main Uses" would be repeat of what was present in the lead. But, it is perhaps more imperative to work on the lead to actually become "stand alone", rather than being just the menu chart?[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 17:17, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
::: The lead should be expanded: it could go, say, up to about three paragraphs the same size as the current one. It should introduce the topic of the article and summarise the main points, but should not include material that is not in the "body"; and the lead should have about the same "balance" as the "body of the article". Putting it simple, only one section in the "body" is about animals and it's about half the size, or less, of other sections so animals should not comprise more than about one-sixteenth of the lead; regional studies is the biggest section, probably followed by Methods, so the lead should have a similar balance.
::: The wording of the current lead could be made "tighter", say, and that would allow more context to be added. For example editing the current lead to read:- 
:::: Impalement is the penetration of an organism by <s>an elongated foreign</s> object-S such as a stake, pole, or spear, <s>and this<s> usually BY <s>implies</s> complete perforation of the centr<s>al</s> -ER <s>mass</s> of the <s>impaled</s> body. <s>In particular,</s> T- techniques designed to effect penetration <s>merely of extremities like</s> OF hands or feet are excluded<s> from this article (for such cases, </s>see<s>, for example,</s> crucifixion).<s> While the term "impalement" may be used in reference to an accident,</s> T- this article has a primary focus on impalement as a form of execution, how it was performed, and highlighting some places where it was used. <s>In particular,</s> T- the article surveys impalement as a form capital punishment meted out by the judiciary, but also, <s>secondarily, some examples from</s> generalized massacres within <s>the context of</s> war, rebellion or persecution<s> have been included. Furthermore, examples of</s> AND sacrificial customs where impalement of either humans or animals has been a central element in the ritual<s> have been included</s>. Impalement has also been used as a way of inflicting post mortem indignities <s>(that is,</s> (LIKE shaming the dead),<s> or been used as a means</s> OR to prevent the dead from rising from the graves<s>, and some such examples are mentioned</s>. Impalement has also figured in myths, legends, literature and films<s>, and a short review of such instances is included</s>. Finally,<s> a few examples are given of</s> impalement</s> in THE context</s> of animals,<s> as in animals</s> using impalement on prey, and hunting and preservation techniques in which <s>impalement</s> IT is a central element.

Note: "-ES" just means add the suffix "es" to the word, etc; T-the means replace "the" with "The", etc)

::::: Sorry, I don't have the answer to that. I probably don't need to say this, but if I've started a re-assessment yesterday: the current lead would have been given a "reads like an essay" verdict and (possibly) I'd give a non-compliance against Clause 1(b). Reviewers are supposed to be unbiased but the "balance" can be disturbed. Anyway, its holiday time for me: so I'm going to forget wikipeidia (for now) and live in the real world.

that new articles over a certain lenght ''and'' articles that have been expanded five-folded ''within the last five days''  can be nominated for [[Wikipedia:Did_you_know|DYK]]; earning them a short visit on the main page if they pass? DYK articles must hold a certain minimum standard; for instance having inline citations in all paragraphs (with some excemption), not have close paraphrasing issues etc. I saw you have been working with the  article ''[[Poena cullei]]'' which you now have nominated for GA, so I was thinking maybe you would like to nominate it for DYK first (otherwise it can be nominated for DYK within 5 days after having passed GA, but only if it passes).

== 3-4 year old question on Islamic burning, but here it goes.. ==

Hi, there!
I noticed that on the talk page of [[Death by burning]] from 2010, you wondered about judicial burning to death in Islamic countries. In the 17th century Ottoman Empire (Turkey and dominions), several sources say that Turks who apostasized from Islam might face burning to death.
Furthermore, from 18th century Morooco and Algiers, it is said in several sources that Christian slaves or Jews meriting death penalty would be burned (while Arabs would be impaled or meet other types of nastinesses.) I might cough up some links if you absolutely need'em. Cheers.[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby|talk]]) 21:27, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
:I've coughed up a few refs in the relevant article.[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby|talk]]) 23:53, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
::Thanks very much.  I am gradually building up evidence that this punishment was taken over by the Muslims from the Christians after the Arab Conquest.  I have come across several references to early examples of burning to death as (a) a pagan Roman punishment for Christians, notably in the persecution of Diocletian (c.305), (b) a Christian punishment for heretics (4th to 6th centuries AD), and finally (c) a Muslim punishment for rebels, deviants and apostates, including Christians (7th century onwards).  One of these days I will document them for this article.

== Please go back and remove overly long quotations ==

I removed some overly long quotations from [[Impalement (in myth and art)]] because they appeared to be copyright violations.  In general, a quote longer than 10-20 words as they were used in this article are probably copyright violations ''unless'' the material is already in the public domain or it has already been legally published under a "free" license.  In practical terms, this means unless it was published before 1923 or the "official" copy is published under a free license like one of the Wikipedia-compatible Creative Commons licenses, only short snippets can be used in the way you are using htem in that article.

For specific rules regarding Wikipedia and copyright, see [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] and related pages.

It is already might quite clear, in the intro "There are no reliable statistics" (meaning not within ideally preferable limits of accuracy). Furthermore, it is absolutely relevant to include ''at least one'' actual, contemporary statistics within the article, one that is clearly an official compilation by the British. It also segues quite well into the already presently included estimate that the incidences of Sati in the Madras and Bombay presidencies were vastly lower than in Bangal. Again, you don't have any sort of reasoned case for regarding the statistics as ''unreliable'' You are the one doing the edit warring here, removing 6000+ of an article with zero valid argumentation.

::::To say that Death by burning and Sati largely treats the same subject, is just again an example of yourt deliberate, malevolent lying.

[[User:Bladesmulti|Bladesmulti]] ([[User talk:Bladesmulti|talk]]) 15:35, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
::::::No. Again, you show yourself as a liar. Yang says that PRE-1815 numbers might not be reliable, not the 1815-1824 stats, due to the scantiness of reports prior to 1815. Which makes sense. Furthermore, as is quite clear from Yangs's writing, she regards those scanty pre-1815 numbers as UNDER-estimates, demolishing theses, for example, that sati increased under the British[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 15:45, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
{{od}}
It said "not only is the pre-1815 data is scanty, but even the usable 'hard numbers' are fraught with the problems." and "the emerging colonial government simply did not possess the administrative apparatus." How you think that they aren't highlighting the whole given stats? [[User:Bladesmulti|Bladesmulti]] ([[User talk:Bladesmulti|talk]]) 15:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:.Nonsense. ALL numbers, including modern mortality and disease statistics can be said to be "fraught with problems". That is why you generally leave the interpretation of those data to high professional actuarians, statisticians and mathematicians. The relevant problem ''here'' is whether the data I provided are ''among the best possible estimates'' for events 200 years ago (there will have been lots of stats from that time that are a lot worse; I've seen those, and have not included them). And, abundantly attested, they are included within it, as per Yang, and numerous others.[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 16:01, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:Where did yang said that the stats are correct? When whole 23-30 is observing the mistakes with the tables, about unreported and increase of self-immolation, expecially when the source cite "the emerging colonial government simply did not possess the administrative apparatus." [[User:Bladesmulti|Bladesmulti]] ([[User talk:Bladesmulti|talk]]) 16:05, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
::Again, you simply obscure the difference between ''best possible estimates'' and "correctness". Best possible estimates are perfectly legit (and, indeed, necessary) to be included, '''as long as it is clearly stated that these statistics cannot be regarded as fully reliable''' And, that has already been stated, in the very first sentence of the Numbers section. It should also be remembered that adding primary source material on numbers has an ''additional'' historical importance, namely that these were in fact, ''the numbers the British Government worked with'', and published, laying the parameters for their own policies. Whether or not those numbers hit the actual frequency precisely or not. Inclusion of direct, official statistics is therefore important, not just as a possibly faulty (but still the ''best possible'') indicator of actual frequency, but also important in revealing how British administration looked upon the issue up to 1829. Furthermore, you are incorrect again about the content on the ''whole''23-30 in Yang. 28-33 concerns principally sati incidence in different castes, not incorrectness of table data. As for pages 26-27, those are not available on my Google Books preview, but seems from p.23 to possibly include a discussion of reliability[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 16:26, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
::I am still not getting, that where did you saw, on page 23, that they regard these stats to be reliable, but not problematic? Show me what made you assume so. The 28-33 is not limited to castes, but also with the regions, that aren't included. On 27, G. Morris suggests that cases were probably higher. [[User:Bladesmulti|Bladesmulti]] ([[User talk:Bladesmulti|talk]]) 16:37, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:::Well, so the British numbers are, by your own account, ''under''-estimates, rather than ''over''-estimates. That is a feature that has been lacking in '''your''' mendacious edits, seeking to cast doubt on the British figures as some sort of racist '''over'''inflated numbers.

Can you present better copy? [[User:Bladesmulti|Bladesmulti]] ([[User talk:Bladesmulti|talk]]) 16:58, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:::::Yawn. All you have managed to find are contemporary historians saying that the British probably '''under'''estimated the numbers of sati in Bengal, not that, as you have tried to do, regard the British numbers as "useless". They are not, they represent a '''lower barrier''' for the frequency, which is critically different from, in terms of reliability, the British sitting in their offices inventing case after case of imagined sati.[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 17:02, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

==Burning/Sati==

Hi, I assume you are referring to the death by Burning article. Yes, I was adding headings according to normal procedure, but I then realised that this will create a massive contents box, which might create different problems. re the Sati page, the paragraph you re-added is very badly written. Indeed it is very difficult to make sense it of, and it is uncited. The Yang footnote is useless, since there is no explanation of who or what "Yang" is, and it is wholly inconsistent with the footnoting of the article as a whole. [[User:Paul Barlow|Paul B]] ([[User talk:Paul Barlow|talk]]) 17:29, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
::Well, Anand Yang is the main reference for the whole paragraph, given at the end of the section, and announced to be the one whose discussion will be based on at the beginning of the section.

What I really appreciate, though, beyond "fun", is the type of ''intelligent criticism'' you have offered to me (I don't mind words as "gibberish" launched at what I've written; if an experienced editor says "gibberish", then it IS gibberish from my part, and I simply have to improve it). :-)[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 20:46, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

You should probably open an SPI case against Bladesmulti given what you've stated on ANI about Occult. Similar editing behaviour. Plus he's ignoring all criticisms at ANI.

Read about a ritual killing practice by the [[Etruscan civilization]]. A prisoner is completely hooded & put in a ring with a dangerous animal which mauls him fatally.

::Thank you! We have different roles to play, and I think that the mentee will find much of value in the provided evidence; but right now, finding a psychologically effective technique to calm him down, and work systematically, one task after the other, is probably the best approach (rather than giving him even more counter-arguments, as I am prone to). I like your idea of having a "laser focus" on the Adimo-set of posts; to work concretely through one debacle will contain many learning lessons, not the least on careful reading, careful writing, and careful evaluation.

:::::Think of being an ''apprentice'', Bladesmulti. There is an honour in such a position! But, suppose a carpenter's apprentice is working on a cupboard. It seems his master is never satisfied, you need to go back over to polish the planks once more, even dismantling it. And, you are grilled on ''why'' you did "that" then, and why you made "this" now. It is perfectly natural you'll start hating the cupboard, wishing you never started with it in the first place. But, it is in this seemingly endless, boring process you '''truly learn''' You have very good mentors in 74, JJ, Corinne and Hafspajen. Because ''they'' (in contrast to me) are sufficiently patient. If they wish you to return to an earlier moment, ''it is because they see there is a good learning lesson there!''. Again, as long as you don't despair, try your best to follow their advice, you will persevere and win.[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 17:27, 22 February 2014 (UTC) 
::: Bladesmulti, you are correct that things are calm now.  But you got in a fight with Arildnordby.  That is why things were not calm.  That is the problem we are trying to solve:  the co-mentors must teach Bladesmulti how to ''not get into fights in the first place''.  There is only one way:  we will pick a cupboard (subject), and we will build that cupboard (write about that subject), and then we will take the cupboard apart and start building it again ('''re-write''').  Practice practice practice.  Soon, you will get sick of the subject/cupboard.  But it is the only way to learn.  If I was a smarter co-mentor, I would just use the Vulcan [[mind-meld]] and teach you *that* way.  :-)  &nbsp; But that is an imaginary story.  In real life, there is no mind-meld, there is only practicing until you get it right.

Your filing at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard has been archived because it was not filed via our listing form available through the "Request Dispute Resolution" button at the top of the page.

::Basically, I pinged you (and other active editors on execution pages)  in order to hear your thoughts on the template, since you are familiar with it from other pages. I have a certain, but not strong preference for standardization of navboxes, but the latest proposal by [[User:Parrot of Doom|User: Parrot of Doom]] looks also very well. MY initial idea was simply to include the standard box on the HDQ article (which is present on every other in-depth article), but he and a couple of others have objections of aesthetic kind. It is a matter of taste, really, so I wanted to find out the stance of other editors relative to inclusion of box, {{u|Rms125a@hotmail.com}}.

:Congratulations. If you want to have the article considered for the [[Wikipedia:DYK|Do You Know section]] of the main page, it must be nominated within five days from GA status. The nomination must include a proposed [[Wikipedia:Did_you_know#The_hook|hook]] shorter than 200 characters which shall include an interesting fact that must be <u>inlined cited</u>. EX: "DYK... that people sentenced to '''Poena culli''' were sewn up in a leather sack and thrown into the water?" (This fact must then have an inline citation in the article) Regards, [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 19:31, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
::Thank you for reminding me, {{yo|Iselilja}}! Hook, let's see, would something like this: "Did you know that if the Romans caught you killing your parents, you might get an unpleasant encounter with serpents, monkeys and a big leather sack?"

Is that too conversational/tongue-in-cheeke fact. Regards, [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 20:08, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
?[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 19:56, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
:I think maybe some of the wording like "unpleasant encounter" may be a bit too informal. While the hook is supposed to be interesting  and catchy (which isn't too difficult with this article), it shall still be encyclopedic in tone. It's kind of the ''fact'' that shall be interesting and catchy, not so much the writing style in itself. But otherwise, I think we are close to something. What is important is that there must be a very clear inline citation for the fact. Regards, [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 20:08, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

::What about the following two alternatives {{yo|iselilja}}??

a) "Did you know that the old Romans didn't just throw criminals to wild animals in the arena, but that on occasion, the criminal would be sown into a leather sack with some, and then be cast on the sea?"

b) "Did you know that if you killed your parents in Ancient Rome, you might well end up being sewn into a leather sack, along with a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a serpent?"
[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 20:49, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

:I'd prefer "... that if you killed your parents in ancient Rome, you might be sewn into a leather sack with a monkey, a rooster, a dog and a snake?" Would have to work out which part to wikilink, though. --[[User:Demiurge1000|Demiurge1000]] ([[User_talk:Demiurge1000|talk]]) 20:57, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
::Since ''poena cullei'' literally means "punishment of the sack", wouldn't "sewn into a leather sack" be the most natural place to set the link?[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 21:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
:::Yep, that's perfect. --[[User:Demiurge1000|Demiurge1000]] ([[User_talk:Demiurge1000|talk]]) 21:28, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
::Sorry, I disappered here. I prefer Demiurge's suggestion as the most encyclopedic in tone, but it is of course up to yourself to decide which hook you want to use in the nomination. It's also possible to list alternative hooks. There may be some questions about sourcing here; it seems to be sourced to the original law itself. Anyway, it's time to nominate it relatively soon to comply with the five-days tule. Shall I do it, or will [[Template_talk:Did_you_know#How_to_post_a_new_nomination|you do it yourself]]? Regards, [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 12:46, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:::An original law, ''as translated in the standard academic Digest edition edited by Alan Watson'' can perfectly well be cited for what it says. That is not original research, nor is it abuse of primary sources. Note, for example, in my b)-alternative, i use "might" (the "would" in the a) alternative should be replaced with a "could"). I would very much like that you looked it over, and if you are uncertain whether to nominate it DYK, I'll drop that. If you feel it can go to DYK, just let me know, and I'll cobble together a nomination..:-)[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 13:44, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::::You know I had some concerns about the sourcing situation in the article. However, I may well interprete the rules regarding sources, especially regarding primary sources, too strictly; and when the GA reviewer thinks the sources is good enough for GA, it ought to be good enough for DYK as well. And I kind of feel that Good Articles deserve one visit at the main page. At DYK, there will be one reviewer of your article, then a promoter to Prep area and then a promoter to the Queue area; they will all look into the article; but it's mostly the first reviewer who will raise potential issues with the article. Most articles are approved, sometimes after some issues have been addressed. When nominating your article, you first make a template (via the link above) and then you have to list it at the [[Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created.2Fexpanded_on_March_15|date the GA was approved]]. I'll keep a little eye that the nomination turns up in the 15 march nomination area. Good luck. Regards, [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 14:17, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::::::Just for your information: There are NO problems in getting secondary sources that simply repeats the law text. Now, I agree with you that ''technically'' (or ideally?) whenever you directly cite a primary source one might add, as ref 2, a modern scholar simply repeating "as true" (i.e, has vetted) the primary source as sufficiently "authentic" . Thus, if this sub-problem occurs during the nomination, I won't really be in a quandary how to add another. However, I would like to say that Virginia Robinson, a specialist in Roman Law has in a sense "vetted" the primary source sufficiently in her '''translation''' in that she thinks the English text she has provided accurately captures the ''recoverable part'' of the original intent of the stated law. Note that I have included modern scholars' opinions on how this law should be interpreted, such as whether it was a late interpolation not originally included in Modestinus, or the divergent opinions on who were the actual target group for the law. Furthermore, I have spelt out the ambiguities concerning what ''virgis sanguinis'' might mean; Robinson chose a "minimalist" translation of this as "blood-coloured rods" (rather than delving into whether this meant the colour of fresh or dried blood, whether it was painted in blood colour, or was of blood-coloured material, or if the rods were besmeared by blood (or became blood-smeared due to the beating), many of these narrowing opinions having been proffered by earlier experts). Citing any of them as "authoritative" would be more wrong than right.

Thank you for details on the nomination process, I'll look it over today, or tomorrow.[[User:Arildnordby|Arildnordby]] ([[User talk:Arildnordby#top|talk]]) 14:36, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:I went ahead and nominated it, to ensure we reach the time limit. The nomination can be changed or withdrawn. I noticed there seemed to be relatively few internal wikilinks in the article, for instance in the lede. Regards, [[User:Iselilja|Iselilja]] ([[User talk:Iselilja|talk]]) 21:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
