Category:Treasure troves of medieval Europe has been superseded

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Treasure troves of medieval Europe, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Treasure troves of medieval Europe has been superseded by a similar category (typos in name, expanding abbreviations, fixing capitalisation, renaming to comply with the "by country" format and conversions from singular to plural or vice versa). (CSD C2).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Treasure troves of medieval Europe, 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.

AfD nomination of Philip Fox (actor)

An editor has nominated Philip Fox (actor), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philip Fox (actor) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Roman Catholic Church Councils of Italy

Neddy, What appalling names, clearly implying they are local Italian etc councils, when several were regarded as Universal councils by the West at least. You have also muddied the much more important distinction between local councils and full church councils - it is now extremely hard to work out here which was which - a list is needed.

I'll start work on one. In some small defence, that distinction between local and universal wasn't made in the old, full Category:Roman Catholic Church Councils either. Neddyseagoon - talk 15:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update - there is one for Ecumenical councils, but there needs to be ones for post-Schism ones for the whole RC church, as against local RC ones. And perhaps categories to go with them (though we already have Category:Seven Ecumenical Church councils for pre-Schism ones). Neddyseagoon - talk 15:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At the least they should be renamed "held in Italy", which now has to be done at CfD. I will support there of course.

No need - I'm renaming now - see, for example, Category:Roman Catholic Church Councils held in Italy. Neddyseagoon - talk 15:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plus were the pre-Schism ones previously defined as RC? This is problematic too.

That's a difficulty - needs more discussion. Neddyseagoon - talk 15:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I notice a large number of the sort tags you've added are wrong too (all left set to Clermont). Johnbod (talk) 14:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm siphoning these errors out - it's tough without AWB. Neddyseagoon - talk 15:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks for these. I remind myself that Ecumenical council has a full list of the RC ones. Johnbod (talk) 15:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Church Councils accepted by Oriental Orthodoxy

A tag has been placed on Church Councils accepted by Oriental Orthodoxy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. _└^and-rew_┘^┌_talk^┐ 16:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

V2 (disambiguation)?

I see that you left a redlink for V2 (disambiguation) in V-twin and V-2 rocket. Were you planning to rename V2 to this, or something else? Brianhe (talk) 06:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was just doing some re-linking/disambiguating of links to V2, and the majority of them were on music pages and should have been to V2 Records. Therefore I was thinking of redirecting V2 to V2 Records, and have a "V2 redirects here - for other meanings see V2 (disambiguation)". Though then I saw that one of the V2 links was on V, transcluded from {{Latin alphabet}}, which I can't seem to edit to get round the disambiguation I wanted to do. Neddyseagoon - talk 10:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update - done, with a new template ({{LatinalphabetV}}) to get round it. Neddyseagoon - talk 16:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed this new template, and my first reaction was "Why?". Now that I see your reasoning... I still ask why. Does anyone care that VP goes to Vice president instead of VP (disambiguation); VW goes to Volkswagen instead of a disambiguation page; V4 goes to V4 engine instead of V4 (disambiguation); V6 goes to V6 engine instead of V6 (disambiguation); V8 goes to V8 engine instead of V8 (disambiguation); and V0, V7, V9, 5V, and 6V go to various airlines instead of to disambiguation pages? And those are just the examples from {{AZsubnav|V}}. I suggest reverting V back to {{Latin alphabet}} and putting {{db-author}} on the redundant template.

The Minor Barnstar

Why thank you! Neddyseagoon - talk 16:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boulevards, Avenues, etc, of Paris

Dear Neddy,

I noticed your recent category changes to many of the "Paris streets" articles: I'm not entirely convinced of the wisdom of separating Paris' streets into "Boulevard" and "Avenue" sub-categories, as many of Paris' street "boulevard" (etc) attributions are wishful more than anything, and this sub-dividing adds an extra step for those hoping to browse a more extensive list of Paris' streets. Is there some sort of logic in all this that I missed?

Thanks, best,

THEPROMENADER 14:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hoping to boost these sub-categories with more articles from French wiki, so they won't be small for long.

Wishful by whom? By their official namers, or by those who titled the article on them. If the latter, concern is understandable - but not if the former. If we are sorting by name, it has to be the names they actually have, not the name they should have! :-)

As for a more extensive list, I'm hoping to create something along the lines of Streets in Paris as a master page for Category:Streets in Paris, to include, Boulevards, Avenues etc. Neddyseagoon - talk 15:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-Channel guns in the Second World War

I've got an entry under Eythorne railway station for a 9.2" gun being stabled on the relaid Guilford Colliery branch in WW2. Is this one of the three you mention or an extra one to those? Mjroots (talk) 20:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's one of the ones I mention, though not 100% sure. Neddyseagoon - talk 10:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Translation Latin->English?

Hey there, I found your name under the category "Wikipedians who speak Latin". Anyway, I am in the process of working on an article about the Pont Notre-Dame in Paris. There is an inscription from Sannazaro under one of the bridges arches which reads:

Jucundus geminum posuit tibi, Sequana, pontes

Hunc tu jure potes dicere Pontificem

See here and here for the original source.

Anyway, I don't speak Latin and cannot for the life of me figure it out...I was wondering if you could give me a translation if you have the time? Thanks much! Lazulilasher talk 01:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My best guess is -

Jucundus [ie Jean Joconde, the architect] placed/built a twin bridge to/for you, Sequana

On this [matter] you can say by vow/ you can swear [he is] the Bridge-builder. Neddyseagoon - talk 10:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for the translation. I also see that you're doing some work on the Paris' bridge articles, which I think is awesome! Anyway, thanks so much for your help, it's greatly appreciated. Good work on the Pont de Bercy and Petit Pont articles. Those were both missing (especially the Petit Pont was sorely needed). It's nice to have a colloborator :) Lazulilasher (talk) 15:22, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I nominated Petit Pont to DYK. So, we'll see if it gets accepted :) Lazulilasher (talk) 03:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Nice work on it BTW! - it's now that rare thing, a translated article that's longer than its source! :-) Neddyseagoon - talk 10:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Jean-Rodolphe Perronet

A tag has been placed on Jean-Rodolphe Perronet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy withdrawn. Article had been edited between me reading and adding the template. --JD554 (talk) 15:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
