LOL yeah, we are crazy. It never ceases to amaze me that one of my best Wiki-friends is a deranged Romanian ultranationalist. :) Thanks for helping out, I know I couldn't translate the whole thing myself. K. Lásztocska 16:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just started it at Rákóczi's War for Independence--we can change it later if we want. So far I've translated one sentence. :D K. Lásztocska 16:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A sántító Rákóczi

Ne tessék keverni szegény idegenbe szakadt lelki hazánkfia lelkivilágát! Csak azt tetszett elfelejteni, kedves kollegina, hogy a Habsburgok nem szuperhatalmi minőségben, hanem legitim államfőként "nyomták el" a magyarokat. Pontosabban a nemesi nemzet szabadságjogait politikailag, meg a jónépet kiuzsorázásilag, de inkább német zsoldosok zabálják fel a termést, mint szpáhiknak adjanak el rabszolgának... --Mathae 17:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ászrevettem már én is, de nem érdekel. Az enwiki megérdemli, hogy így nézzen ki a userlapom :p --Mathae 18:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Budapest is ;) --Mathae 18:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Hungary lost its suzerainty, was forced to accept the Habsburg emperors as rulers, and has already lost Transylvania in 1690, when the Diploma Leopoldinum made it a Habsburg territory independent from Hungary." - Ez így konkrétan baromság. A szuverenitás megmaradt, elvesztésére csak korábban került sor a Wesselényi-féle mutyizás miatt, de Thököly miatt aztán inkább hagyták a magyarokat elkanászodni. Erdély elvesztését meg hülyeség szegény Lipót nyakába varrni, akkor már inkább Szapolyaiékat kéne megrugdalni, meg a Diploma előtt kb. 150 évig regnáló fejedelmeket. Megnézem a magyar cikket, hogy érdemes-e lefordítani egyáltalán. --Mathae 18:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind the specifics--we have a lot of work to do, the Romanians practically tripled the size of their article overnight and we're dropping seriously behind. K. Lásztocska 13:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Köszönöm NAGYON szépen! If we win, you get special recognition. :) I guess technically we've broken the rules but the point wasn't necessarily in the translating, it was in getting new articles written by whatever means. I'll go pare down Rákóczi's biography article--I seem to be better at deleting (or just destroying) than adding right now, though philosophically I'm an inclusionist as well...K. Lásztocska 20:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bah...

Így segítsen az ember... mindjárt dolgoztatni akarják :(. Asszem nem nyújtogatom többet a kisujjam. --Mathae 12:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Az még oké, de Lásztocska kisasszonynak (?) ez nem elég. Hitelesebb forrást akar. Győzd meg, hogy én eléggé az vagyok :D --Mathae 00:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sheesh, all I wanted was a little citation for a statement like "the Hapsburgs were Hungary's rightful kings" or whatever it was you said. (igen, "kisasszony" vagyok. :D ) K. Lásztocska 02:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Translation help?

Hi! I found your name on the translators list, and was wondering if you'd be able to help a bit with my attempt to expand Golubac fortress. I found this page, and have been told that it's probably Hungarian, rather than Romanian, but I can't read it either way. If you have the time to translate that (or summarize, or bullet points, or whatever else -- I realize it's kind of long, and I'm not picky, just looking for information.), it'd be much appreciated! As well, I found this short bit which I imagine doesn't say anything I don't already know, but it never hurts to double check. Thanks in advance, -Bbik 04:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I had actually already found the links for the Hungarian kings based on the dates, though don't know if I'll work either of them in specifically, but thanks for that, too. :) -Bbik 22:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take 2

Hi again! I found another page that I think might actually have something this time. All the boxes have several links too, though, and I don't have the foggiest idea what they are, though I'm guessing they're ads or something, since they're to a completely different website. If they're not, and there's actually more info in them, could you summarize what they're about, and I'll let you know which ones would be most useful to actually get all the details? Thanks! -Bbik 08:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on Murnane

You once asked where I got James Allen's article on Smenkhkare. It is from a Univ. of Chicago web site which will publish a series of book featuring these series of online articles in honor of the late--and great--William Murnane (d.2000) sometime this year, I believe. Anyway, several more articles have been posted on this web site including an interesting new one by Van Dijk on Meketaten. This site basically has the latest research on Egyptological matters. Here is the link: [1] Regards, Leoboudv 07:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Madam, I am happy that you liked Dijk's article on Meketaten. May I ask what sections of Egyptology you are mostly interested in: is it the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, the New Kingdom, the Third Intermediate Period or the women of Ancient Egypt? I notice you have posted much good information on Ancient Egypt's many women. Personally, I am quite interested in Ancient Egyptian Chronology--I hope to see the new book by Erik Hornung and his team of specialists soon at my University--and also like the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period. Do you have easy access to specialised Egyptian serials like GM. Here in Vancouver Canada where I live, Egyptology is a minor subject--my University only recently ordered GM in 2005--and we have no Egyptology courses and only one real Egyptologist--Thomas Hikade. Before 2005, we only had JEA, BASOR, Orientalia and JNES, but little more serials that covered Ancient Egypt but little else. Regards, Fabian Leoboudv 09:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I too am an amateur on Egyptology. But my University has the second largest collection of books in Canada after the Univ. of Toronto. So, I have all the best books all the periods on Ancient Egypt. I just live far from my library and am no longer a regular university student. I have posted this review of Kitchen's TIPE book. Did you know Kitchen will publish a 4th updated edition of TIPE in April 2007. Thsi is unprecedented but show the popularity of his TIPE book. Here is my review of his 2nd edition 1986 TIPE book. [2] BTW, have you seen this large dispute about the touregypt.net reference site here. [3] If you wish to give a reply, you have to sign in though. Many people are angry that some Wikipedia administrator has decided to ban it because it contains links to some Ads. Personally, I believe strongly the harm it may cause is outweighed by the amount of material it gives. Regards, Leoboudv 01:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Alensha, Thank You for your comments. No, I don't plan to be an Egyptologist but a few years ago I was on a certain Egyptological Forum where one of the participants was Frederic Payraudeau, an Egyptologist who has written articles on thew Third intermediate Period in BIFAO, Rde, GM and JEA. He taught me a lot of important information about this era. That is why I know much about Kitchen's interpretation of the evidence as well as some major problems with his view. Since Kitchen will published a 4th edition of TIPE soon, I hope he has corrected his errors here. Today almost all scholars accept that king Takelot II was never a king of the 22nd Dynasty; he was rather a king of the 23rd Theban dynasty in Upper Egypt. And his son Osorkon B did indeed become king as Osorkon III contra KItchen's view that Osorkon B was outmaneuvered to the throne. Kitchen maintains taht the Thebans would never accept Osorkon B as their king but he fails to understand that if Thebes was involved in a civil war which lasted for 20+ years, most people would get weary and be willing to accept him as their king if he did indeed defeat 'his unnamed enemy' Shoshenq VI as Osorkon claims in a Karnak Quay text dated to Year 39 of Shoshenq III. They would do so to gain stability and peace in their lives. Today, Egyptologists have found the Tehna stela; this document actually calls Osorkon III a High Priest of Amun. That person can only be the High Priest Osorkon B. This means Osorkon III=the HPA Osorkon B. All Egyptologists including Aidan Dodson, Gerard Broekman, J. Von Beckerath, Jansen Winkeln, Rolf Krauss, etc have accepted this view--except Kitchen for the reasons I gave you. With kind Regards, Fabian Leoboudv 06:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: Petőfi

No problem. :) I'm writing a paper on him right now so he's close to my heart. :) I'll try and keep defending him from the small armies of Slovak and Austrian IPs that show up here with alarming regularity...K. Lásztocska 15:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OMG, that poem is gorgeous! I'm going to set that one to music! :) Anyway, I'll take a closer look at the translation later tonight.

The thing I did with the DYK was, I accidentally nominated Ferenc Rákóczi instead of the new article. But I fixed it, much to Biru's dismay. :) K. Lásztocska 23:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

oops/éljen!

Uhh...we just accidentally won the contest w/ the Romanians, because Stupid Külföldi, a.k.a. yours truly, inadvertantly cheated, got her time zones mixed up and nominated the article three hours early. Goddammit, Biru is going to hate me for life. K. Lásztocska 18:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

....and never mind? as I was writing to you someone removed us from DYK because we didn't qualify. Ajjajjajjajj, I am confused....K. Lásztocska 18:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right. On an unrelated theme, could we by any chance please get hu:Révai József and hu:Farkas Mihály onto en.wiki? I would appreciate it. Biruitorul 23:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll try to make some mention of them in the People's Republic of Hungary article, as they, together with Gerő and Rákosi, do appear to have formed the leading quartet, though with the latter in a dominant position.

I put in a pronunciation note for Labiş - at least I think that's how you do it. He is indeed a fine poet, and his article is one of my targets for expansion. I need to mention that the "accident" that killed him was almost certainly the work of the secret police, as he had opposed the regime during the protests in Romania in late 1956 and witnesses saw him being pushed under. Biruitorul 17:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

help

can you take a look at our szlovak friend's latest posting on the Hungarian noticeboard, he and I got into a dumb fight over Tamás Priskin's nationality and now I'm pretty sure he just insulted me in full view of everyone on the noticeboard. And he knows I can barely read Hungarian, which is why he wrote in Hungarian, just to expose me as the shameful charlatan and pseudo-Hungarian that I really am. K. Lásztocska 18:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Priskin is a good footballer and plays for the national team (the HUNGARIAN one, I might point out--grr!) and even plays in the English Premier League now, so he definitely deserves a Wiki article. I did see all that mess on HuWiki--pretty stupid. Where does Mt7 get off, saying I and whoever else are "against Slovak-Hungarians"? I'm not against anyone, I was just trying to clean up what I thought was a silly-sounding sentence, and then this dumb war breaks out...

On an unrelated note, the Romanians won the contest so I had to alter my userpage--it's barely visible though. :) K. Lásztocska 22:49, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alensha. User Mt7 started to revert and whitewash Hungarians in Slovakia articles, claiming all are Slovaks, LOL. I have reverted all his related edits and blocked him for 24 hours for 3RR violation on Tamás Priskin article. His actions should be more watched in the future.

Nicolas Sarkozy

Concerning the "castle" of the Sarkozy family, you can read this article published in February 2007. It is in french and gives the testimony not of the mayor but of a deputy ;) Best regards --Asaraft 08:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some historical info about the region of Alattyán & Jasz people

note: from the above article (given by Asaraft) it is understood that Sarkozy's family is originally from Bocsa, a small town which is in the south of Hungary. this is just an independent info about history of the region Alattyán, Jaszag, and maybe it should be re-placed as a separate article (if Alensha agrees of course)

The town is in the region "Jaszag" and its name comes from the people called "Jasz". Jasz people were originally Sarmatian, they were still speaking their unique language until 14th century. Sarmatians were a coalition of nomadic tribes and they invaded Europe from the north of Black Sea. Most of the scientists believe that King Arthur legend was revealed after Sarmatians. Except Jasz people, today the only Sarmatian people left are Ossetians (descendants of Alans) living in the North Caucasus.

In history there were three main tribes, Alans, Roxalans and Iasyges (the last one is actually our Jasz people) and they were speaking almost the same language. No written record left from the historical Jasz language, just one example. Within this example Jasz prince salutates Hungarian king and this salute is still easily understood by modern Ossetian language.

There is a strong ground for King Arthur theory, as 5.500 Iasyges cavalrymen were sent to north Britain by Romans to defend the Hadrian Wall against local tribes. Sarmatians were superior warriors as heavy cavalry regiments. They were almost same as the medieval knights, but about 1000 years before the medieval times. Historians tell that they were the main inspiration for medieval knigthood in terms of their armors, fighting skills and manners.

Sarmatians were also the inspiration for Polish nobility in the middle ages. Polish noble families believed that their ancestors were Sarmatians and they tried to adopt a Sarmatian way of life with their equestrian features and garmants, which was derived from the nomadic cavalrymen (such as a long coat and leather boots, cavalryman hood made by fur and a long sabre).

The most famous leader of the historical Jasz people was legendary Lehel. Historical records show that he was not from the Arpad dynasty. Lehel had a horn, and a legend says that he rushed and killed the German emperor with that horn when he was captured by them (for that story you may read the section "Lehel" in wikipedia, I do not know how to make a direct citation). The first interesting thing is, horn is also a sacred item in modern Ossetians. The second one, when Lehel killed the emperor he said: "you will die before me and become my slave in the other world", as he knew that they will kill him after his action. This pagan belief was common among Sarmatians, and also Scythians, a group of nomadic people who were relatives of the Sarmatians. Partly chipped horn is kept in Jaszbereny Museum.

RMDSZ

Szia Alensha. I've been helping Dahn correct the spelling of RMDSZ politicians at User:Dahn/Templates. However, I'm still unsure about a few of them:

"Laszlo Borbely" — I can say for certain that the correct seplling is László, but I'm not sure about the surname. Is it "Borbély"?
Hajdu Gábor — has two articles about him on the Romanian Wikipedia: Menyhért Hajdu Gabor and Menyhért Gábor Hajdu. "Gábor" is probably his given name, as it translates to "Gabriel" in English. However, it might be his surname, what do you think?

If you could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Khoi khoi 00:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! Two more:

Ákos Birtalan — is there any connection with the given name "Bertalan" (nickname "Berti")?
Francisc Baranyi — now this is an interesting one. I knew someone called Feri (pronounced "fedie", right?), so I assumed that his name was Ferenc. However, I remember seeing his name spelled "Francisc" somewhere, which I assumed was simply a typo for Francisco (he moved to Mexico). However, is Francisc a Hungarian name? What is the English equivalent? Also, I'm pretty sure "Francisc Baranyi" isn't the correct spelling in Hungarian.

Thanks again, Khoi khoi 21:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see. What confuses me is that an RMDSZ member can have a Hungarian surname (Baranyi), but a non-Hungarian given name ("Francisc"). As for Feri, I had always thought that the nickname was indeed pronounced "fedie"—are there any Hungarian nicknames that sound similar to that? Khoi khoi 22:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are two different people with this name: the first is the one that I knew personally, and the second is the RMDSZ member. I suppose it's more likely that he was called Feri, since Francisco = Francis = Ferenc. Khoi khoi 22:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, check out this. I'm guessing his Hungarian given name is László, but I thought "Gergely" was a given name as well. Khoi khoi 01:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See Vasile Luca. :-) Khoi khoi 12:34, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I see your point. BTW, it should say "born László Luka" instead, right? Khoi khoi 12:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm constantly having to archive it. Oh well. Khoi khoi 13:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oszkár Jászi

Hey Alensha, I guess I have another question. I was reading the Constantin Mille article, and noticed the sentence "Again present in Transylvania in 1921, he notably met and conversed with Hungarian historian and sociologist Oscar Jászi." This spelling is supported by the book A Twentieth-Century Prophet: Oscar Jászi 1875-1957 by György Litván. However, I noticed here that he spelled his name "Oszkár Jászi", which is the correct spelling of his name. However, he's what I discovered using Google:

Google Books:

Google Scholar:

In my opinion, the article should remain at Oszkár Jászi, but do you think it should be renamed to the more common spelling, even though it's wrong? Khoi khoi 22:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again! Khoi khoi 04:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How did you learn to type hieroglyphs for certain Wikipedia articles? I can't find a manual at all. Leoboudv 08:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll give it a try soon hopefully. The thing is I wish there was a hieroglyph for the nomen and/or prenomen of the 21st Dynasty kings Siamun or Amenemope. I don't know if all the signs for their names are in the Gardiner's list Captmondo gave. Regards, Leoboudv 05:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Meketaten

Hello there:

I just wanted to pass along kudos for the good work you are doing on various Amarna-era princesses. Inspired, I managed to find a photo I had not yet posted to WikiMedia that I had taken while visiting the Brooklyn Museum earlier in the year. You may find a few other images of Amarna-era princesses on Wikimedia, though I have done my best to slot those images I have taken into that category. You may find it useful to browse through the gallery of the pics I have taken, as you may be able to find a few other useful images there. You can find everything here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Captmondo/gallery.

I had a quick look at several of the articles and I could find no fault with how things are phrased in English -- your English is arguably better than some native-speaker's additions I've run across. ;-) Some articles are weak when it comes to explicitly citing their sources, and Meketaten is one of them. I also wonder whether or not the tomb paintings you reference may in fact be those representing Kiya, as the descriptions sound similar. Without citing the source I can't independently check to see if that's the case.

Cheers! Captmondo 16:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meritamen (wife of Amenhotep I)

Hi,

Just a little note -- don't worry if you accidentally create an article at a wrong title. Even if nothing links to the resulting redirect, it is still useful (as a possible alternative search term, for referencing indices, etc.) In general, Wikipedia's philosophy is "redirects are cheap" -- unless a redirect is clearly unrelated, nonsense, or hopelessly ambiguous, it is left in place. I've removed your speedy tag from this particular one. Thanks for helping Wikipedia grow! :) Best wishes, Xoloz 04:28, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Szia Alensha!

Don't get me wrong, I think her choice to write her name in all lowercase is a terribly pretentious bit of radical-chic and quite the silly affectation. On the other hand, Wikipedia is supposed to report on things as they are, not how we wish they were. (Otherwise I would have changed "Franz" Liszt's name to Ferenc long ago. LOL) The best parallel example I can think of is e. e. cummings. Yes, it's grammatically incorrect, and perhaps silly, but that's how he wrote his name and we shouldn't mess with it. I just hope she doesn't go any further with her name-changing: I'd hate to have to refer to bell hooks all the time.. ;-) K. Lásztocska 15:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

szívesen :)

No problem, luv. I nominated a handful of others as well (Biru, István, and Monsieur Doria from the Liszt wars). Incidentally, have you seen the drama on the high seas that Biru and I are writing in our spare time? It's going to be a Wiki legend, I promise. :-)

I've been meaning to ask you, would you be interested in the eventual drive to get Prague Spring to FA status? Repeating our 56 success and all, only this time with Czechs. We're tentatively planning a mid- to late-August start (or once all the Czechs get back online, István's life gets back to normal, and we can all find enough books between us.) Interested?

Till then I'm trying to focus more on musical matters: I've rewritten our good compatriot Joseph Szigeti's article, and hoping--again--for FA. I need to improve it still, though, and I've been meaning to properly cite my sources (page numbers and all) for about two weeks. If I haven't at least started on it by tomorrow night, kick me!! ;-) K. Lásztocska 15:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I used to be a huge Egypt geek...gave it up eventually though. :( I'm still a Trekkie, though, so there's one more thing we have in common. ;-)

I'm not an expert on the Prague Spring either, that's what research is for. :) I'll have some nice blocks of spare time this summer (though not much for a few weeks) in which to read up on my Czech history--I was careful to propose the project long enough in advance that we'll have time to research and work at a less frantic pace than on 56.....that was one hell of a mad dash.

The mother of Ramesses IV and VI

Dear Alensha, Do you know if Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton's book on Egypt's Royal Families lists the names of the mother of king Ramesses IV and Ramesses VI? A new Wikipedia subscriber named GM Cupertino has written that their mother was Iset Ta-Hemdjert but as far as I know this is certainly wrong. Ramesses IV and VI were sons of Ramesses III but by other queens of Ramesses III. Cupertino has made many claims on the royal geneaologies of Egypt's kings based on a 1991 paper by Christian Settpani. Some are correct but many are exaggerated, highly speculative or slightly outdated. Leoboudv 21:39, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If Dodson Dodson & Hilton's book says Iset Ta-Hemdjert is the mother of Ramesses IV and VI, then the matter is settled. I had the impression Ramesses IV and VI were different branches of Ramesses III's family....but I did not modify Iset Ta-Hemdjert 's page because I don't know the truth. Cupertino posts much geneaological information on Wikipedia but he is perhaps a French speaker since his edits are quite repetitious or very long in English. He simply follows Settipani's 10991 paper uncritically like when he makes Siptah the son of Twosret, rather than Sutailja or Pimay the successor of Shoshenq III rather than Shoshenq IV. These are wrong ideas now. I corrected these errors---that was why I thought maybe he made the same mistake on Iset Ta-Hemdjert. Thank You for clarifying the issue. Leoboudv 19:38, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Alensha, I created a page on Ramessesnakht, the High Priest of Amun at Thebes who served from the reign of Ramesses IV up to the Ramesses IX and possibly Ramesses X. If you wish, you can list some of Aidan Dodson's comments on him. All that I know is he was still alive in the final years of Ramesses VI and likely VII. He was succeeded by his son Amenhotep who served in office as High Priest during the first half of Ramesses XI's reign. He is an important person because the centralisation of power under the Amun priesthood really started under his tenure. Regards, Leoboudv 23:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Alensha, You're right unfortunately on Ramessesnakht. I hope my short article on him mentions his importance. I don't know the hieroglyph for High Priest of Amun. On Semenmedjatre, I nominated it for deletion. Would you like to second it here? [5] No one is ever going to type in Semenmedjatre for Semenenre at all, that's for sure. That is why it should just be removed from Wikipedia. Leoboudv 20:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Alensha or Anita? The name Semenre or Semenenre is also attested on an axe balde from the Second Intermediate Period according to Kim Ryholt. I don't have access to his book right now and can't cite the precise page; I can only say this: according to Ryholt's study, his prenomen is Smenre and no mention occurs for his nomen. This is in stark contrast to the situation with Seuserenre Bebiankh, Semenenre's successor who ruled Egypt for 12 yrs according to the Turin Canon. He left behind a partly damaged stela from a mining expedition during his reign. Fortunately, the undamaged portion preserves both his prenomen and nomen: Seuserenre Bebiankh. IMO, Semendjaatre (sorry I can't even spell this complex name correctly) is just a mistake someone made early in Wikipedia's lifetime...and should be deleted. As an Aside, Wikipedia claims it has 1.956 million English entries but pls don't be misled--a small percentage are likely redirects. Thanks for your excellent conversation and your excellent library of books. Myself, I have only Grimal's A History of Ancient Egypt, Joyce Tyldesley's study of Ramesses II and Hatchepsut/Hatshepsut and KA Kitchen's 1995 edition of TIPE. The rest, I copy from my University in Vancouver or my local Library in Surrey, B.C. Leoboudv 00:06, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Akhenaten & Muwatalli

There is an excellent on-line article titled 'The failed reforms of Akhenaten and Muwatalli' by I. Singer that the British Museum has posted online. See here: [6] Are you an EEF member? There is lots of discussion about the latest archaeological finds/resources. I did not know about this on-line resource until EEF mentioned it in their weekly news update. Singer's article is in British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan Vol. 6 (2006). Both Akhenaten of Egypt and Muwatalli II of Hatti founded a new capital city--Tarhuntassa for the latter --in their reigns and instituted a number of reforms only to have them reversed by their successors. Here are other online BMAES electronic paper: [7] Regards, Fabian Leoboudv 00:05, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Anita, Did you see the Wikipedia front page notice that they now have 2 million articles. It seems great at first...until you realize that some articles are duplicates of other articles and others have minimal content. Sadly, there are lots of crackpots and vandals on Wikipedia. I wonder if Citizendium is any better? I have heard that they too have experienced vandalism problems. Also, Citizendium is rather slow: they don't even one article on any of the Ramesside kings...unbelievable. (I just checked) Maybe, that is why Wikipedia's open format style is more popular to users: you get more articles uploaded daily by users.

Anyway, if you care about Hittite affairs, the best BMAES story is the one by Trevor Bryce, the noted Hittitologist on the supposed Hattusili III-Ramesses II "peace treaty." [8] As Bryce correctly notes, this is a misnmomer. Hattusili was actually desperate to gain diplomatic recognition for his unexpected reign over that of his nephew Urhi Teshub (Mursili III) whom he had deposed. So, its more a treaty that openly acknowledged Ramesses II's acceptance of Hattusili III as the new king of Egypt. Bryce is a great psychologist: he gives us a Hittite king's motives. The BMAES issue here is a surprising; ostemsibly, it is supposed to deal with Egyptian and Sudanese (ie: Kushite) matters, not Hittite affairs, but I guess Hittite topics fall under the Egyptian component. Fabian Leoboudv 21:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you liked the British Museum article by Bryce. It is definitely an excellent paper. BTW, thanks for backing me up on that Semen...re article. It was removed sometime ago here: [9] Even Iridescent changed his mind to Delete after searching for primary sources on this person and finding none. PS: I created a brief article on the HP Nimlot C.

Request to add your opinion/vote to renaming of KV62 -> Tomb of Tutankhamen

As someone whose opinion I value, I am asking if you would take a peek at Talk:KV62, and voice your opinion on the suggested move. I am not trying to solicit an Oppose vote, but instead am trying am asking people who have an active interest in things Ancient Egyptian to contribute to the talk as well. Cheers!

Thank you for adding your opinion/vote to the Talk:KV62 re: KV62 -> Tomb of Tutankhamen. I wanted to solicit opinions/votes from those I thought might have a real interest in the issue. Ultimately the main thrust of the argument for centers around WP:NC, which I think is being too broadly applied in this instance (but that's my opinion). Thanks also for the reply on my page, and I wish in retrospect that you had mentioned your own experience with the article on the Hungarian wiki, since I think some multi-language perspective is useful (one of my own arguments referenced the chaos on Wikimedia Commons given the multiple names for "Tut" across languages). Though I read more oppose votes than for, in the end there was no consensus (a simple majority may not apply in this case) to move, so there's every chance the debate will continue sometime in the future. Cheers! Captmondo 11:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neferneferuaten

I'm afraid I don't, Alensha/Anita. The hieroglyphs for Neferneferuaten were the best I could find since this is a newly discovered king--who doesn't even figure in Peter Clayton's 1994 Chronicle of the Pharaohs. Its a reasonable approximation of her prenomen. If you can improve it, go ahead. Leoboudv (talk) 10:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Alensha/Anita, I talked the matter of Neferneferuaten's precise prenomen with someone on EEF. He sent me a PDF of Rainer Hannig's HWB book which has the CORRECT royal names for the late 18th dynasty and early 19th dynasty kings. In short, Neferneferuaten's nomen on Wikipedia is wrong! Hannig's German book is called 'Grosses Handwörterbuch Ägyptisch-Deutsch. Die Sprache der Pharaonen, 2800 - 960 v. Chr.' by Philipp von Zabern, 1995; 2nd edition 1997, 1473 pages and seems comprehensive. I've seen this pecific comment on the book: [It's] Not cheap, but a terrific have (if you can read German). The next best thing after the monumental WB (the 'Wörterbuch der Ägyptische Sprache'(1926-1953) of Erman-Grapow). More than 1400 pp, including some great appendices. This 'HWB' covers the language from the Old Kingdom to 500 BC, so you can use it on Late-Period and Ramesside texts.

I apologise if this is hurried but I am in a major University course at UBC and don't have much time for hieroglyphs. Just ignore Hannig's chronology or equation of Smenkhkare with Neferneferuaten; they are both separate kings since they are royal nomens. Of course Hannig's book was first published in 1995--while Neferneferuaten's existence as a new female king distinct from the male king Smenkhkare was only established in 2003/2004 by Egyptologists. PS: I am 8 hours ahead of you so maybe its 9:17 PM in continental Europe. Its 1:17 PM here in Vancouver. Regards, Leoboudv 21:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Misinformation

Hi, on the Hungarian wikipedia, I noticed this phrase:

"A Chyna Girl című dalt feldolgozta a S.H.E együttes (Super Star címmel), valamint Skye Sweetnam is."

As "feldolgozta" probably means "was recorded by", "együttes" meaning "band", I think this sentence attempts to state that Chyna Girl was covered, which is false. Robert Rosan produced "Super Star" (August 2003) before Adagio was even recorded (2004). It's kind of hard to prove foresight; how can you say that S.H.E covered Chyna Girl when Chyna Girl wasn't even recorded yet? If anything, Sweetbox re-released Super Star as Chyna Girl. It even says on a press release (Use Chinese Traditional Big5 encoding) from the group's label, HIM International Music:

(in Chinese) After the second comma in the second paragraph:
專輯同名主打歌可是耗費百萬巨額製作費，由德國SWEETBOX製作人GEO特地為S.H.E量聲定作的

Translation:
The title song of the album cost a lot of production money, because Germany's Geo especially wrote this song for S.H.E.

I can't write in Hungarian, so if you can rectify this, that'd be great. (If I read the sentence wrong, my apologies. But you can still use the citation, I guess). Pandacomics (talk) 23:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want, I can userfy the article's content so you can rewrite it. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 21:34, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Tonibraxton hitthefreeway.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tonibraxton hitthefreeway.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 12:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Hello! Örülök, hogy benéztél. Megcsináltam a mozgatást. (egy pusztalakó is képes ilyenre, mit szólsz?) Hiányzik nekem a huwikis közösség, nem arról van szó, meg látom, hogy fejlődik, de így is minden szabadidőm elmegy a tanulás mellett a blogjaimra, meg az enwikis dolgomra. Ráadásul megyek jövő hétfőn előadni egy kaliforniai konferenciára, meg a Yale-re erről a web 2.0/orvoslás dologról, szóval volt értelme ennek a sok éjszakázásnak. Ha lesz valami elfogadható helyszíne wikitalinak, kérlek szóljatok. NCurse _work 19:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi, I haven't had the priveledge to intereact with you in the past, or at least I do not racall it, like I know Istvan, Lastochka, KIBD, Fz22. The EE/CE issues are very heated on WP, including such ugly things as Polish vs Lithuanian. Fortunately, however, Hungarian-Romanian stuff have been kept very civilized, due in big part to very dedicated and civilized users I just named. However, WP will grow, and new people will come. Chances are we will see a lot of idiots/fanatics/uneducated coming in the future, and it is not impossible for them to steer the things just enough to get close to the Polish-Lithuanian thing. I would like you to know that there are many Romanians who are keen to avoid this kind of dangerous spinning. We can weigh in, just let us know when anything happens. I am only speaking in my name now, but I am sure if you would tell Biruitorul, AdrianTM, MariusM, Dpotop, Dahn, Turgidson, Eurocopter_Tigre, Roamataa, Ronline of any problem, they won't be very helpful. Anyway, it is a priviledge to know that we have risen above the degrading situations in other parts, and can be given as a positive example. I have no idea about your political opinions, the fact that this isn't even an issue speaks for itself. cheers. Dc76\^talk 01:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The parents of Ramesses IX

Dear Alensha, Does Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton ever state who were the parents of Ramesses IX in their book on the Royal families of Ancient Egypt? I have only Nicolas Grimal's book, A History of Ancient Egypt, and Grimal does not mention this issue. Some people have suggested that Montuherkhopshef (son of Ramesses III), a son of Ramesses III was Ramesses IX's father since Mentuhirkhepsf was married to a king's mother named Takhat. But I don't know if this is false or true. I don't even know if Mentuhirkhepsf was really married to a king's moter named Takhat. Many people have strange ideas on Wikipedia but you have Dodson and Hilton's book. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 09:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS: You are a Trekkie? I did not know that...until now. I am a fan of Star Trek TOS, TNG and DS9. I'm afraid Star Trek slowly went downhill with Voyager and Enterprise. Around December 17, 2007, CBS fired a whole bunch of staffers who maintained the startrek.com website and now no new Star Trek film reviews of any series are posted there. It tells me CBS doesn't really care about Star Trek. I guess ST was a phase--very popular from 1966 to 1999 when DS9 ended and much less popular now in the 21st Century. New leading edge sci-fi shows like Battlestar Galactica have far surpassed it today. Maybe JJ Abrams can revive the new Star Trek franchise with his new film but I doubt it. Once a series falls in popularity, people usually tune it out. But I wish him the best. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 08:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Alensha. I suspected that the "King's Mother" Takhat was Ramses IX's mother because she is the only person whose son is unknown. It would be nice to know that Mentuhirkhepsef was the father of a king. Regards, Leoboudv (talk) 18:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It seems album covers will be deleted anyway so I stopped uploading them.

Talk:List of countries by GDP (nominal)#Informal mediation

Hi - you're invited to join in a discussion on the inclusion of the EU in the List of countries by GDP (nominal) article. Regards SilkTork *^YES! 23:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)#Conclusion

The Mediation discussion regarding the inclusion of the EU in List of countries by GDP (nominal) has come to a conclusion with the following result:

The EU to remain in List of countries by GDP (nominal).
The EU to be positioned according to GDP rank between World and USA.
No consensus on the EU appearing in all three charts. By convention this means the situation would remain as current - that is the EU remains on all three charts.
Data for the EU on each chart to only be given if sourced, otherwise a dash to replace the data.
Explanation to be placed in the lead section for the appearance of the EU and other non-countries. Possible wording: "Several economies which are not ~~normally~~ considered to be countries are included in the list because they appear in the sources. These economies are not ranked in the charts here, but are listed in sequence by GDP for comparison."
The List retains the current name.
A suggestion by Tomeasy that I feel should be carried out is that the sister articles are given the same treatment as agreed above.

Unless there are significant disagreements within the next 48 hours I will be closing the Mediation. Any questions, please get in touch. Regards SilkTork *^YES! 10:56, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hor-Aha, the second king of the First Dynasty?

Hi, I’m from Hong Kong. I’m quite interested in Ancient Egypt and I just started translating several articles from English the Chinese. After reading several books (The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt by Ian Shaw, Ancient Egypt edited by David Silverman and A History of ancient Egypt by Nicolas Grimal, translated by Ian Shaw), I found that they all listed Hor-Aha as the first king of the First Dynasty. But the article in wikipedia just listed him as the second king after Narmer. Can you show your views on the issue? Thanks!--Onlim (talk) 09:09, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More about splitting

Hi. :) I note that you recently performed a split of material to the article Setepenre (princess), and I just wanted to drop you a note to point out a few things about the procedure. As Wikipedia:Split sets out, when we split material, we have to provide a direct link to the source article. This is necessary because Wikipedia's contributors do not release their material into public domain, but retain rights to authorship under the terms of our licenses, CC-By-SA and GFDL. This wikilink satisfies that requirement by allowing readers to access the history and see who contributed what and when. Usually, we put into the edit summary something along the lines of "Split from Sourcearticle". Then, we note the split as well in an edit summary at the source article. That would read like "Material split to destination article", in this case. This helps make sure that the article is not later deleted, as it cannot be as long as the article to which the material has been split remains. We also have an optional template for the talk pages of both articles at {{Copied}} (instructions for using it found there). I have fixed the problems with this split, but I wanted to let you know for future use. Also, if you have split material without attribution in the past, please be sure to provide credit to avoid copyright problems. Thanks, and if you have any questions about this, please feel free to leave a line at my talk page. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
