Hi there, saw your wikilink in the date of birth edit. Just to let you know there seems to be some discussion as to whether wikilinking of dates is really necessary any more. Not sure if things are fully decided yet though. See here for discussion - Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers). Cheers. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 14:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Solis,

Just wondering why I can't use the Lupin Anti-vandal tool "rollback" button. I've tried the non-admin rollback and even the auto-edit script (and I've cleared my cache). Anyway help desk said to find a very active user and you were online so :). Thankyou in advance Mr. Solis,

birth dates

Hi,

I noticed that you are making edits with summary "Birth dates are no longer wikilinked)". Can you please point me to the place where this was established. Thank you, `'Míkka>t 00:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointer. However I see that this issue is a rather fresh discussion, not finished yet (talk page dates are December). So isn't it a bit too early for massive delinking now? (not that I am objecting) `'Míkka>t

Propose moving the article titled Governor-general of Norway to Statholder

I propose moving the article titled Governor-general of Norway to Statholder or, if that is objectionable, to Governor General of Norway. The basis for this move is that there is published material showing three terms: ”Statholder”, “Viceroy” or “Governor General”, are accepted English terms in academic references, while "Governor-general of Norway" appears nowhere in English language print. Viceroy is a generic term, hardly specific to Norway, and should not be used. ”Statholder” is specific to Norway, risking no ambiguity. A survey of usages follows:

• Governor General – Jesperson, Leon (Ed.) (2000). A Revolution from Above? The Power State of 16th and 17th Century Scandinavia. Odense University Press. 87-7838-407-9.
• Statholder (viceroy) – Gjerset, Knut (1915). History of the Norwegian People, Volumes I & II. The MacMillan Company.
• Statholder – Larson, Karen (1948). A History of Norway. Princeton University Press. ISBN none.
• Statholder – Derry, T.K. (1960). A Short History of Norway. George Allen & Unwin. ISBN none.
• Stattholder – by Stagg: Stagg, Frank Noel (1956). East Norway and its Frontier. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none. – Stagg, Frank Noel (1954). West Norway and its Fjords. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none.– Stagg, Frank Noel (1953). The Heart of Norway. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none.– Stagg, Frank Noel (1958). South Norway. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none.
• Statholder or Viceroy–Barton, Arnold H. (1986). Scandinavia in the Revolutionary Era: 1760 - 1815. University of Minnesota Press. ISBN 0-8166-1393-1.
• Governor – Kent, Neil (2000). The Soul of the North. Reaktion Books, London. ISBN 1-86189-067-2.

I strongly incline toward Statholder since it is widely used in publications and is the term one is most likely to come to Wikipedia to look up.

You were contacted because you’ve edited the article. Your counsel and guidance would be appreciated… Please comment at Talk:Governor-general of Norway.

Embedded citations

Hi, I noticed that you are repeatedly making edits in which you place a space between punctuation and an external link, with an edit comment saying "Add space between the article and the link (external)". This is incorrect Wikipedia style. These links are not just external links, they are embedded citations. It's the old way of doing references in Wikipedia. According to Wikipedia, "An embedded external link is placed after the period at the end of a sentence, or, when within a sentence, after the comma or semicolon at the end of a clause, without intervening space."[1] By adding the space, you are taking correct embedded citation style and making it incorrect. Ideally, embedded citations should be changed to the new footnote style, again with no space between punctuation and footnote. --JHP (talk) 02:47, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Leonese language

Hello Joseph. Like you can see, I'm a member of Wikiproject Languages and Wikiproject Endangered Language for a long time. I've been working in some articles about languages, trying to improve them, especially Leonese language. I've given life agan to the Portal Languages. But in the last weeks, in the last months, one of this articles, Leonese language, has been continuosly vandalized by a men called Rastrojo. He's a castillian-spanish nationalist and even when I tried to talk to him for having an agreement, and other people talked to him about whta he's absolutly cloe in that sense. Now he called his friends from Spanish Wikipedia and they are again and again trying to do the same. They don't construct anything, they are not improving the article, they just change things for keeping their political points of view. In all their interventions there are none about langague. So I call for yur help beacuse I don't want to do. I try to improve, they destroy my work. Can you help me, please? Thank you very much.--Auslli (talk) 19:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Translation help request

Hello. This may seem very random, but I'm looking for a Spanish-speaking editor to help out with translations and you're the first active user I came across in the list of Spanish-speaking Wikipedians willing to help w/ translations. To be a little more specific in what I need help with: numerous articles and templates for South American and Latin American beauty pageants have been created under Spanish names (i.e., Reina Hispanoamericana, Reina Nacional de Belleza Miss República Dominicana 2006) and should be moved to appropriate English versions. I asked about this some weeks ago at a policy talk page and the consensus was that these articles should indeed be moved. But in case you're wondering, I could just ask the article creators, but all the articles that made me concerned with this issue were created by now-blocked socks or inactive users. If you're game though, I could just ask you for translations and I'll move the pages or you can move them yourself. Let me know. Thanks!  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 15:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Service medal

The service medal you show on your user page requires seven (7) years service on Wikipedia. According to your edit counter, your first edit was made Feb 19, 2006. I understand, from the same edit counter, that you have made more than the requisite 50,000 edits. However, the service medal criteria clearly require both a minimum number of edits and a minimum number of years. Keeping the service medal up after only four (4) years is misleading and inaccurate.

Reflist

According, to WP:FOOT, "The choice between {{Reflist}} and <references /> is a matter of style; Wikipedia does not have a general rule.".

So articles that already use <references> should not be converted to reflist en masse. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:21, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Request for help on an article expansion

Joseph Solis in Australia, I have noticed that you could possibly be a Spanish-to-English translator with moderate French, since I noticed that your name was on theList of Available Translators. The Grand Palais article is only a start-class article on the English Wikipedia, but the French and Spanish versions have much more coverage than the English version. In May of 2010, I began expanding this article with text translated from the corresponding article at the Spanish Wikipedia. Then in July, another user, Awien, began deleting some text from the article and using text translated from the French Wikipedia to expand the article. I kept insisting that the Spanish version of the article has attained FA status and the French version has not attained GA or FA status and it's best to use a feature article on a foreign language Wikipedia for the best translation to expand an article of the English Wikipedia that has only stub- or start-class status (or sometimes B- or C-class status). Next, I proceeded to translate the rest of the Spanish version into the English version. I started to wait for somebody to clean up the translation, but Awien wiped it out altogether, since Wikipedia does not accept machine translations per a certain policy. I attempted to clean up another machine-translated paragraph, but Awien deleted that, too. Soon we were on the verge of starting an edit war. I wanted to improve the Grand Palais article by expanding it using the translated material, but I didn't want to engage in edit warfare at the same time. I need the help of anyone involved in this WikiProject who is fluent in English, French, and Spanish to do something about this conflict and expand this article themselves.

Hi. I discovered that you used the photo File:Tank Man (Tiananmen Square protester).jpg in the article Deng Xiaoping. However that usage is irrational and was removed by me.

Proactive and another Super Skin Lightener

Had to translate them, so they would be good in French and Spanish , Portugese and other languages. Hope you don't mind suggestions, in future too for good pages from English. But if no time maybe suggest to others if you can. Thanks.

I would be more careful with marking edits such as the removal of an expansion template (it has been discussed) as minor.

Speedy deletion nomination of 天台山

A tag has been placed on 天台山, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

does not conform to WP:UE

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 10:28, Monday March 7, 2011 (UTC)

My Spanish ancestors

Hi Joseph,

Sorry, still unfamiliar with Wikipedia since I don't obsessively come to this site to exercise some type of authority since I have to actually do this in my real life. I'm apologizing now for adding this to your page but I couldn't figure out how to reply to you.

Anyway, you mentioned about some of the Argaowanons being spanish descent. It's true, like the descendants of the Capt. Gumilo I believe was his name. My research notes are actually in the garage but yes, there are some as the name you mentioned Carillo, I think I do remember that family as being of Mestizo origin. It's been years since I've stopped going through the church records but continue to gather info. online or with Argaowanons that I come in contact with. But I know that in my 22 years of research, I don't have any Spanish ancestors. My friend did point out that the name of my paternal grandmother's great-great-great-grandfather was of Chinese origin, but the records only mentioned him as "indio". Unfortunately I don't have any more information on him, but he was obviously a descendant, if not a Chinese mestizo or pure. My great-great-great-great-great-grandfather lived in the mid 1700s.

Foreign-language redirects

When you create redirects from various foreign languages, please categorize them by language with {{R from alternative language}}. An example of its use is here. Thanks. Gorobay (talk) 14:12, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

You are not using the template. Since you create many foreign-language redirects, it would be swell if you did. Gorobay (talk) 20:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Hallo there... could you provide citations please?

Hallo there Joseph_Solis_in_Australia,

thanks for your contributions on wikipedia!

I was noticing that you recently made an incredible amount of edits in pages regarding the Philippines motivating them with "Update according to latest data from last 2010 census".

I was wondering if you could please provide citations for this changes so maybe a bot could be set for these tedious tasks.

Thanks for your patience!

Cheers from Europe.

Philip of Castile (archbishop)

Hello. I was on Wikipedia:Translators available and notice that you were on the list for Spanish to English translators and wondered if you could be interested in translating es:Felipe de Castilla to Philip of Castile (archbishop)? There is a lot of interesting information still left untranslated. Thanks.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 21:39, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

{{United Kingdom elections}}

Just to let you know the reason I removed the link to {{English and Welsh elections}} from the UK template is that it duplicates the English and Welsh templates, and as a result of that, I removed it from the pages it's on some time ago, and was planning to have it deleted once it was clear it was redundant.

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175

Dear Joseph20202021,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines#The Cybercrime Prevention Act, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Kind regards,

Request to take part in a survey

Hi there. I would very much appreciate it if you could spend ~2 minutes and take a short survey - a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. I sent you an email with details, if you did not get it please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. I would very much appreciate your cooperation, as you are among the most active Wikipedia editors who show a pattern of reduced activity, and thus your response would be extremely valuable. Thanks! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:26, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Invitation

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:24, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
