[edit] Language groups

Hi, nice job with the language groups. I noticed the nyungar language article and linked the page Nyungar (or Noongar). Let me know if I can assist with western australian stuff. I must ask if you mind tidying up the language on your user page? Cheers, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 17:15, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me pointing that out. I meant to say before, the Sea monsters wikiproject is a favourite of mine. I keep forgetting to join ... Best regards ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 19:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I like your user page. Lots of biota, the marbled gecko, Phyllodactylus marmoratus as I know it, is one of my favourites. They like my roses. Sorry to hear about your assimilation by the borg, how is that all going? Cheers mate, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 19:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Songhai Empire

Hi, Enlil. first, i'd like to thank you on your interest in the songhai empire article. I have some concerns, however; I wanted to address them before making any edits and causing any drama. I noticed you put a nation bar on the far right side. It is obviously ripped (nearly verbatum) from the Mali Empire page. There's nothing wrong with putting a chart (the page needed one), but the information there is mostly wrong. The Mali Empire and Songhai Empire were very different and many of the attributes of the Mali Empire chart don't apply to Songhai. The reason i'm saying this is because I made the chart for the Mali Empire and did 90% of the research on that page.

I don't think it's neccesary to remove the chart altogether. Maybe we could work on it together to make it more up to snuff. Below are some glaring errors we need to address

• Languages- we can probably just put Songhai here. There were speakers of many languages within Songhai, but the administrative tongue was Songhai.
• Religion- the state religion of Songhai, in all its forms, was Islam. Ancestor worship was done by the peasantry, but the ruling classes were vehemently muslim. In Mali, the ruling class was muslim in name only. That's why I included ancestor worship and islam for that particular chart.
• Government- definately not a constitutional monarchy. Mali was a constitutional monarchy cuz it actually had a constitution. Songhai had no such document. It is my opinion that Songhai's government was simply a MONARCHY.
• Title of head of state- Mansa is completely wrong. Sonni was the title after 1275. Askiya was the title after 1493. i'll do some digging and find out what the title was before that. It definately was not Mansa. Only Mande peoples used that term.
• Legislature- No evidence exist of a legislature and they did not borror the Gbara. The Gbara (Grand Assembly) only existed in the Mali Empire. We should probably omit this portion until we know for sure if they even had a legislature.
• History- because this page is dedicated to the Songhai Empire and not necessarily its incarnations before reaching "imperial" status, I suggest putting one of the three proposals for the establishment and disestablishment of the Songhai Empire
  • c. 1000-1591. This date goes from the Songhai's establishment in Gao (c. 1000) to its fleeing to Niger after the Battle of Tondibi (1591).
  • 1275-1591. This is from the establishment of the Sonni kings who constantly asserted their independence from Mali until the moroccan invasion.
  • 1375-1591. This is from when Songhai gained full independence of Mali forever until the moroccan invasion.

Any of those dates is pretty legit. 690 is too early as we need a date when the Songhai were established at Gao. 1901 counts Songhai's continuation in Dendi. Although the Songhai administrative structure survived and even thrived in Dendi, counting it as a part of the Songhai Empire would be like counting the Roman Republic and Roman Empire as the same entity or perhaps the Roman Empire and the byzantine empire.

• Currency- this is accurate enough I believe. I don't know if they used gold dust, though. i'll take a look around for more info
• National symbol- needs removing. no data to back it up. that info is specifically from and for Mali.

Hope I haven't taken up too much of your time. please get back to me when you can. i look foward to hearing from u. Scott Free 17:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for comment

Hi, I have some comments about the articles User:Numismaticman created. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numismatics#Recent addition of "banknotes of ..." and "postal orders of ..." articles. Thanks. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 03:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alderney and Ambliara numismatic articles

I saw nothing wrong with creating articles on Banknote of Alderney and Banknote of Ambliara, as both Alderney and the Indian Princely States' banknotes and coins are listed separately in the Krause and Pick catalogues. The articles are intended to be based on these catalogues, including the 'KM', 'P', 'PS', or another catalogue number in the articles. - (Numismaticman 06:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Postal Order articles

What is wrong with creating articles for the postal orders of the various countries that issued them? They're numismatic items as well. - (Numismaticman 06:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Postal Orders of Fiji

What do you want to know about them? I don't know much about them myself. The collecting and study of postal orders is a very new thing to me myself. - (Numismaticman 09:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Postal Orders were used as currency

The Postal Orders of the Orange Free State and the Postal Orders of the South African Republic were used as currency during the Second Boer War. The British postal orders were used as currency during World War I and World War II. The modern British postal orders still depict the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, so they still look like banknotes to a certain degree. Yes, they can be paid into a bank account in the same way that you pay a cheque into one. - (Numismaticman 09:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Cooksonia taxobox

Hi, Just to say thanks for popping a Taxobox on Cooksonia! All the best, Verisimilus T 20:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Ooh, it's not very encyclopaedic, is it. Unfortunately, it's not a subject I know much about (oddly enough). I'll have a dabble when I get the chance... In terms of things to do, it'd be nice to see some of the Ediacaran biota, especially the more famous, better represented on WP soon, as the main article is in the queue to appear on the main page - I'd like the interested reader to be greeted by as many good articles as possible! And if you've got a scientific eye, you could always take a look at Cambrian explosion, which may hopefully be in the early stages of a push to FA status...

Cheers,Verisimilus T 22:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:New Zealand currency and coinage

Chochopk can you please review this template if you have time thankyou Template:New Zealand currency and coinage Enlil Ninlil 05:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure you put a lot of thought into it. So I'm probably sorry for saying this. In general, I believe a nav box is appropriate when a majority of links exists. Template:Japanese currency and coinage still has many red links. I'd prefer improving existing articles first, and fork off more articles if necessary, instead of creating too many stub articles too fast. If I were to work on the New Zealand currency, I'd probably create Banknotes of the New Zealand dollar, move some contents over, improve it, expand the table, extend the history backward. And when that's done, I would probably improve coins, and if that's done, I would probably create Banknotes of the New Zealand pound. Well, you get the idea. And frankly, I don't like the idea of having a denomination as an article. It is against the currency taxonomy:

• Currency (NZ£, NZ$)
  • Coins/banknotes
    • Series
      • Denomination

In some places where inflation is stable, but faster than developed countries, "1 dollar" or "1 unit" of something could be the largest coin 30 years ago, and now the smallest coin. They would have different meaning, and it's weird (at least to me) to compare them. Somebody probably started denomination as an article within USD, and the idea gets copied to other currencies. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hezbollah userbox

Hello. You used to have a userbox expressing support for Hezbollah, a group that is considered to be a terrorist organisation in many countries. I have removed the userbox because the consensus of editors indicates that it is unnecessarily divisive and inflammatory, and because it was based on the template {{User Hezbollah}} that has been repeatedly deleted for this reason. Such boxes are not allowed according to our rules about inappropriate user page content, and in accordance with Wikipedia not being a battleground. Please do not re-add this userbox, or you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia or your user page may be protected. For further information, please see the discussion at WP:ANI#Hezbollah userbox.

Hi there, thanks for your tidying of the Echinoderm classification. I noticed that you marked the Crinoidea extinct - did you perhaps mean to mark the Paracrinoidea?

[edit] Proposed deletion of Concordant

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Concordant, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? -- Andrew Mill 09:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Billet mauricien.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Billet mauricien.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 05:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sending this to all the wikiproject:mammals participants. There's a naming guideline up for discussion on the talk page, and the more people get involved the more valid any consensus drawn. Ironholds 19:14, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page tagging for WP:PALAEO

You may wish to contact User:Compwhizii, who operates a bot that could automate the talk page tagging process. (It must be a huge job to do by hand!!) Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 09:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging unreferenced

Hi Enlil,

When tagging articles as unreferenced or needing factual verification, can you use an edit summary? It makes the edit a lot easier to spot so that it can be corrected. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 12:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project talk page tagging for WP:VIET

Blnguyen had requested me for the service of TinucherianBot to tag articles in the categories in Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam/Categories for the WikiProject Vietnam. I request the members to kindly have a look , carefully verify ALL the categories and remove all the possibly wrong categories. Please Dont misunderstand by being cautious here , as we have faced many issues with such huge scale bot tagging earlier. Once I get the final go ahead, I will start the bot with the final list. Thank you for choosing TinucherianBot for the project,. It is a pleasure working for this project...I have also left a note at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Vietnam#Project_talk_page_tagging and request your comments there. You are receiving this message as you are a member of the project. Thanks -- Tinu Cherian - 06:05, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Palladium (Australian band)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Palladium (Australian band), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Palladium (Australian band) seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Palladium (Australian band), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Scrolling lists

Please do not add scrolling lists, ever, to articles. In addition to breaking certain accessibility features, there is a bug in the MediaWiki printable.css which renders such lists unprintable if they overflow. For more information, please see MOS:SCROLL. siℓℓy rabbit (talk) 20:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dog breed

You asked: Does anyone know what this breed is, It maybe a mixed breed of the Poodle family. As there are so many breeds it is hard to tell. (Re Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dogs#Identificasation) Hi, is that your dog? The only ways to reliably identify a breed are through the ancestry documented in its registration papers (or those of its parents) or with genetic testing. Mixed breeds aren't specific breeds. The coat looks poodleish, however, the nose looks too short and wide for a poodle; it is either mixed with something with a square nose or it may be one of the many Bichon type breeds.--Hafwyn (talk) 00:30, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A very large and widespread CopyVio problem

I want to alert all Project Gastropods staff to the fact that we currently have a very major CopyVio problem which compromises the integrity of the encyclopedia, and opens the door for legal action against Wikipedia. This problem is spread across a huge number of gastropod articles (approximately 800 to 1,000) and it also spills over into the other molluscan groups. I am asking ask everyone who is available to help out with this in whatever way they can, but please do so in an organized and unified fashion so we all know what is going on. It seems that all of the articles in the Category: Molluscs of New Zealand [1] contain a great deal of text that is copied verbatim or almost verbatim from the 1979 book by Powell, New Zealand Mollusca. I have had no experience in dealing with a crisis of this magnitude. Any help that any of you can offer or suggest is more than welcome. Invertzoo (talk) 21:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

		For all the hard work you Enlil Ninlil have put into helping make WikiProjectGastropods as great as it is, I award you a nice-sized chunk of the barnstar that Jimbo gave us at the first WikiConference New York on July 25 2009. This piece has a diamond in it! Invertzoo (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
