Greyshirt

Just to let you know: During July you commented at a move request, now at Talk:Greyshirt (comics). The discussion was closed as "move". However, one of the discussants has reopened the discussion. Your original comment will still be taken into account and there is no need for you add anything further, but I am notifying all previous discussants as a courtesy. MelanieN (talk) 13:10, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

as long as Greyshirts continues to be the South African group I don't mind either way. The comic character article is none of my business really. Keresaspa (talk) 19:14, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Nazi membership number list

Hello, I saw that you created this list here: List of Nazis. I am thinking of creating a similar list, but only for the notable members for whom I can find their membership number and/or SS number. Do you think this a feasible pursuit? I do not plan on citing it. - TX6785 (talk) 15:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

If you don't plan on citing it then no, given the trouble the actual List of Nazis has caused in the past on that score. Go easy on creating the new categories as well, you're making it a bit obvious. Keresaspa (talk) 01:05, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

I would appreciate your help with finding a source in order to add Wilm Hosenfeld to the list. His article states that he was a Party member but there is no clear citation. - TX6785 (talk) 01:28, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

I warned you not be so obvious! Keresaspa (talk) 19:57, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for the thanks on the Orange Volunteers article. I've now got access to the Irish Times archive and, while I don't have time to go through it methodically, I hope to find a few things of interest. If there's anything you'd particularly like me to search for, just let me know. Warofdreams talk 13:24, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Nice one, that should be useful. I'll have a think and drop you a line if I come up with anything. Something like that would be especially useful for the early part of the Troubles where web resources are lacking. Keresaspa (talk) 19:23, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anglo-German Fellowship, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles Taylor (UK politician). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Regarding the Survivors of the Hamidian massacres category

Hello Keresaspa,

Regarding your edit here, I am curious as to why we should place this under a 1894 or 1895 deaths when these people were survivors? In other words, what is your reasoning behind adding those categories. I sincerely would like to know. Thanks. Étienne Dolet (talk) 02:57, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

No idea - first time I've ever heard of the Hamidian massacre so I copied the equivalent categories from the Armenian Genocide one. In retrospect it doesn't make much sense but it was late and I hate uncategorised articles. By all means undo my edits as they make no sense but add the category to something suitable when you do (for instance Category:History of Armenia. Keresaspa (talk) 19:37, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Robin Jackson

Thanks a million for fixing those refs. I spent most of Sunday afternoon trying to repair them to no avail. By the way great photos on DeviantArt. I have added quite a few as well. Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm still not sure how I managed it. There seems to be a bunch of them in a hidden section near the bottom of the page that was causing the problem. Must look at yours on DeviantArt, I haven't been on in a while. Keresaspa (talk) 01:38, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

South East Antrim

I see this outfit have a new flag. I recall seeing it in Newtownards last summer but I thought I was surely mistaken as Newtownards is miles away from the turf of South East Antrim. Wouldn't it be more logical if it were an extension of the East Belfast Brigade or the hub of a North Down brigade or a local battalion. I encountered the flag again in Ballymena only this time I clearly seen Newtownards on the flag. Although it proved problematic to get a photo of it due to the direction of the wind. With regards to Ballycarry and Ballyclare, that makes more sense although Ballycarry itself is quite a small area and I surmising any activity there would be regulated by the "boys" nearby in Larne, Carrickfergus or Whitehead. Braidside is a little more esoteric. I assume this is referring to the course of the River Braid and it's path out of Ballymena towards Slemish. The only places there are Broughshane and the townlands/countryside of Buckna/Aughafatten. While these places are unquestionably loyalist I have never heard of any specific UDA actions in them. I had a cryptic feeling the more UDA visible areas like Ahoghill, Galgorm and Cullybackey were being referenced, these places are of course along the River Maine. Nearby Kells would possibly be UDA orientated but proving it with verifiable links is another story. A big thanks to Extramural activity for proving the existence of this new mural. DColt (talk) 18:06, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

I saw the mural myself, there's a pic of it on my Deviantart account. A few years ago I probably would have taken one for here too but, as well you know, uploading pictures is far too much of a thankless task round here these days. I haven't encountered the flags though, I'll have to keep an eye out for them. I was in Ballymena recently enough but I didn't venture outside the town centre.
My understanding is that Newtownards has, as you say, always been East Belfast Brigade although more of a UVF area really. Certainly I went to school with a lot of people from that area and it was only ever the UVF they mentioned although Frankie Curry's alleged killer was a Newtownards UDA man. However I do know that when some of the boyos from the Shankill moved out to north Down they retained their West Belfast Brigade membership and even set up a D Company, the insignia of which is still on the Bloomfield estate in Bangor. Presumably some of them must have left Rathcoole or somewhere like that for Ards too and done the same. Either that or some EBB ones have switched over to SEA because it's sort of dissident (its connection to the Real Ulster Freedom Fighters is unexplored on Wikipedia but for my part I've yet to find any reliable sources discussing that, even though I reckon they're pretty much identical).
That Ballycarry now has UDA in it doesn't shock me at all. I was up at Islandmagee a couple of years back as an away supporter with Donegal Celtic and they were by far the most hostile and sectarian crowd I had encountered in ages. And like you said it's near Carrick and Larne so it's an obvious area of expansion. Ditto Ballyclare, although in their defence the crowds there are a lot more civilised.
My understanding with Braidside had always been that once you left Ballymena you were in North Antrim and Londonderry Brigade territory, with Ballymoney being its main stronghold in County Antrim. There again that brigade seems to have been falling apart for the last few years so its conceivable that places in that Money-Mena hinterland are starting to switch over. Keresaspa (talk) 19:01, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Thinking about it now I do recall a mural in Ballycarry honouring "Grugg" Gregg a few years back. You're right about Ballymoney being the nerve centre of North Antrim UDA. Along with it's satellite villages of Dervock, Bushmills, Stranocum, and Mosside you have a pretty solid support base. The exception being Armoy, where the flags there opt for the UVF. Along the Mena/Money hinterland you have Cloughmills and Clough although most media reports indicate any rare paramilitary activity there would be the work of the town boys. DColt (talk) 19:51, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

In my (limited) experience Cloughmills is a bit on the posh side for all that! Keresaspa (talk) 01:26, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Hello! I noticed you tagged these articles:

for speedy deletion per G1, as patent nonsense. Patent nonsense refers to completely incomprehensible content, such as "hjhjhjhj", so I've un-tagged those articles. I know very little about football, so if they are hoaxes, as you said in your edit summaries, you can tag them per G3 as hoaxes or take them to AfD. Chickadee46 (talk|contribs) (WP:MCW) 16:10, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

OK. I haven't done a speedy in about ten years so I'm rusty. I've re-tagged them as G3. I'm amazed they lasted so long actually as they're complete inventions. Keresaspa (talk) 19:27, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Request

Hi, Keresaspa. As you are a proficient editor in the topic, could you take a look for this stub: Sindicatos Libres (copy edit, grammar et al.)? Best regards.--Asqueladd (talk) 22:00, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

No problem, I'll get on it now. Keresaspa (talk) 23:16, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. Fantastic work!--Asqueladd (talk) 18:02, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
Glad to be of help :) Keresaspa (talk) 23:29, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
Similarly, could you give an expert look here? Cheers.--Asqueladd (talk) 11:41, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
Sorry for the slow response, I was on holiday but forgot to add a talkpage template. I'll certainly have a look but it looks very good already.Keresaspa (talk) 03:43, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
I've added a few bits and pieces from a couple of sources I dredged up. As ever though, my technical skill on here is very limited so I'll leave the reference formatting in your much more capable hands. Keresaspa (talk) 01:48, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
Fantastic work again! :) I have pulled the reference formatting. One small thing: I was pretty sure the movement was named after Antonio, not his son Gabriel. Best regards.--Asqueladd (talk) 13:48, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
I see what you mean, the caption on the image. I just looked at it quickly and assumed it was an image of Antonio but now I see it's actually Gabriel. D'oh! I've removed that line. Keresaspa (talk) 20:52, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Karol Sidor

Hello. I see you created Karol Sidor. While researching René de Chambrun, I found two references on Newspapers.com saying he was granted a US passport by 1947. I added direct quotes--should we use them in Sidor's article as well? Can you find more about this please? Was it ever revoked?Zigzig20s (talk) 13:04, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

It's not something I've encountered before but looking at the de Chambrun article they're both very reliable sources so definitely add it to Sidor's article as well. I'll look into it a bit more and see if I can dig up anything as to whether or not it was ever revoked. Outstanding work on the de Chambrun article by the way. Keresaspa (talk) 19:15, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. It's a little creepy to research these people, but important work. I wonder who inherited their estate btw?Zigzig20s (talk) 20:05, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Very creepy - you uncover some nasty things but as you say, important work. Regarding Sidor's passport I did turn up this snippet view on Google Books suggesting, though not explicitly saying, that he entered Canada without a valid passport. Difficult to know whether that means his US passport was revoked or not though, especially given the source uses that word "apparently". Keresaspa (talk) 00:42, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Are you able to figure out how Pierre de Chambrun (and two red links at the bottom) as well as Charles de Chambrun (1875–1952) were related to Rene de Chambrun please? Maybe first cousins/nephews? I am not sure. Once we've figured it out, we can add them to his infobox. I also think his father fr:Aldebert de Chambrun needs to have an article in English, but I'd like to create a referenced start instead of translating mostly unreferenced content.Zigzig20s (talk) 13:57, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
The family itself has an article on the French Wikipedia. Assuming it's correct (and it is sourced so I would accept it) then Pierre, Charles and Aldebert were all brothers, the sons of Charles Adolphe Pineton de Chambrun, so based on that Pierre and Charles were his uncles. I agree with you that Aldebert could use an article on here as well but, as you point out, the French one isn't a very good starting point. Google Books isn't throwing too much up either. Keresaspa (talk) 23:44, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
There is a distant relative Charles de Chambrun (1930–2010) (his second-cousin I think?), who joined the FN. Some of his family were resistants though: Gilbert de Chambrun and Jacqueline de Chambrun. His connection to Brazzaville's founder is very interesting as well I think.Zigzig20s (talk) 12:11, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
There is a location called Chambrun in Haiti--potentially a former plantation owned by the family? Hard to find out much.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:29, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Now that you mention him the FN one rings a bell. I seem to recall coming across him years ago but had forgotten him until now. Fascinating family. If my French wasn't so bad I'd try to dig up more but I even struggle with the basics of the language. Keresaspa (talk) 16:40, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
We really need to improve Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza with lots of inline citations. There should be plenty in English.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:32, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
I'll definitely look into it. I'll probably be busy with John Boreland for a while given that I created the article and he's just been killed but when I get a chance I'll give it a go. Keresaspa (talk) 18:54, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Eleonora Tennant

Hi! I just created an article on Eleonora Tennant, and wondered if you might have any relevant information on her? Many thanks, Warofdreams talk 01:16, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

I'll have a look, although I have a few books that I would expect to cover her so hopefully I'll be able to dig something up. Keresaspa (talk) 22:59, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
