Regarding your edit to Francesco Patrizi:

Your recent edit to Francesco Patrizi (diff) was reverted by automated bot. You have been identified as a new user editing a page that experiences malicious edits by banned users that continue to edit via shared IP ranges or open proxies. Since these ranges are too large (collateral damage) to be blocked and user's IP addresses are not visible, edits to this page by logged-out editors of server or shared IP ranges and new users are reverted. The changes can be reviewed and restored by established users. // VoABot II 20:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UCFD

I have nominated a category you created, Category:Wikipedians Walking Mancunian Way, for deletion. I'm not quite sure what it is supposed to be used for. Perhaps you can contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion. Thanks, VegaDark 22:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, if in case you accidentally create something again you can place "{{db-self}}" at the top of the article and an administrator will delete it. VegaDark 23:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Human sciences vs Humanities

I saw that on March 9th, you moved sh:Category:Humanističke nauke from Category:Human sciences to Category:Humanities. And you changed the links of that category in the sh: WP. The way you proceeded is fine, because you treated the links in the right places. However, I'm concern of the translation. Humanističke nauke should logically translate to Human sciences, even though in the en: WP, the category is not used in the proper way. In fact, Humanities is the category that should include Human sciences, and not the other way around. Humanities are more or less Human sciences combined with Art and Litterature. (I'll try to correct that situation, but in this WP, it's hard to change these things.) If the sh: WP plans on including categories relating to art, then your move was right. Otherwise, it should be reverted to represent the exact translation and link Humanističke nauke to Human sciences. Don't you agree?

Thank you for such a quick response and for your explanation of the proper translation. In the light of your arguments, I would suggest that we insert a short comment (both in English and in Serbo-croatian) in the category's talk page to avoid the confusion. We have to keep in mind that in many languages, Human sciences are often confused with Humanities and with Category:Social sciences (that should include politics, anthropology, ethnology and sociology, for that matter). Generally, what litterally translates to Human sciences in other languages does not include arts. Many people (and bots) might make the mistake I made. I agree that the interwiki links should always consider the semantics, as you seem to suggest, and not the content of the categories, a subtlety that no bot can understand...

P.S. Are you the user who sent me this nice note in the French WP?
Good then. I will leave it that way. But if you have the time, would you be able to insert the above mentionned comment in the category's talk page? I can't write in your language. Thanks for your concern. And yes, I feel very welcome in this WP. I'll do my best to improve it as much as my time and knowledge allow. Robin des Bois ♘ ➳ ✉ 21:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


April 2007

Hello. I'm in agreement with the recent revert you madeon Wii. Not sure if you already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Best regards, Funpika 20:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Wikipedia-logo-sh.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wikipedia-logo-sh.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:37, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Ephesian school

Since you wrote the article about the Ephesian school: do you know any publication or website, preferably book or other such publication, where information about the Ephesian school can be found or where the school is mentioned? I haven't found any information about it in any of the (mostly swedish) books I've looked in and I've only found one or two sites on the internet mentioning it (where this information don't appear as obviously taken from Wikipedia).

Regarding your edit here: You should watch out what you are reverting to. At any rate, the IP removed the material again and I'm strongly inclined to agree with that removal of unsourced and poorly worded material. — aldebaer⁠ 16:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3rr etc

You've been reported for WP:3RR here [1]. Of which, perhaps, more anon. In the meantime, please talk more and revert less. And don't mark clearly contentious edits as minor William M. Connolley (talk) 23:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
