Stray barnstars

"Dixie", "Dixie's Land", "I Wish I Was in Dixie"

Jmabel is awarded this Working Man's Barnstar for his dedicated efforts in disambiguation and redirection.

Hey, Joe. In doing my research on "Dixie", I came to realize that locating the article at "Dixie's Land" — one title for the song, but not by far the most common or popular title — was a mistake. I requested a move to Dixie (song), which was just granted. In going through and changing all "Dixie's Land" links to point to "Dixie (song)", I noticed that you were the one that had changed them all in the first place. So I apologize for having put you to all that trouble for my one bone-headed page move. Also, please accept:

Great

I was googling on Anittas, in order to find more info on Anittas (the Hittie King), and then saw the second result: your RfC on me. That's just bloody great. If someone googles my name and finds that RfC, they will think that I hate Jews, or something. I use this nickname in other places, too. WTF, dude! What have you done? Can't you edit that RfC and add a HUGE disclaimer on top of it, saying that your acussations against me were false and that you retract them all? I did what you wanted and stroke through the text on my talk page. Please return the favour. --Anittas 00:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to find the thing about someone telling you that you didn't understand complex Ro culture, etc., but I couldn't. Just tell me who said it, because it seems it got to you really good. However, it's not nearly as serious as the RfC. Thanks for adding the disclaimer. It's not the best disclaimer I've ever seen, but it will have to do. --Anittas 01:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Translator list

Actually, there's only one Wikipedian willing to be a translator. I am user:atheistrabbi, I was posting for several weeks and then forgot my password. If you have the ability, or know someone who has the ability, I'd appreciate if the account got deleted. Also, despite my recent conversion to GNU Linux and Mozilla Firefox, I still have know idea how to type Hebrew alphabet in Wikipedia. I definitely am not in the mood of cut-and-pasting or typing awfully long character strings. I need to be able to either type on the keyboard or click around in the little box downstairs like when I'm writing in the Greek alphabet. Also, I need to figure out how to configure my browser so that the vowels go under the letters instead of being counted as a character in and of themselves; it makes it really difficult to read. Once that little hurdle is out of the way, I'm more than willing to contribute in any way necessary. In addition to being a native speaker of Yiddish, I work as an independent researcher and translator of Yiddish-language materials. And yes, I do take requests.

Hello Joe! Would you be so kind do answer me, as American, to my question posted on [2] please? Thankx. Peace. Shalom. Bonaparte talk 11:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Leftist vs Left-wing

Hello. Oddly, I find "leftist" far more pejorative than "left-wing". I live in the UK, so perhaps things are different here. But whenever I see someone railing against the left on American websites, they almost invariably use the term "leftist" ("this is typical leftist propaganda...", that sort of thing). Left-wing seems a perfectly factual description to me, but of course people probably have their own perceptions about the neutrality of these terms. I'm not really sure how to decide between the two now, any ideas? Anyway, I was actually trying to make the labeling of his political views sound less critical! By the way, I think it might be an idea to delete "radical", would you be OK with that? Cadr 14:15, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Date linking

Hey, Joe. Would you mind adding George Washington Dixon to your watchlist? I've got a date linker who's reverted me once on whether all dates in the article should or shouldn't be linked (they shouldn't), and I'm going to have spotty access the next few days. Will you keep an eye out for date overlinking? I'd appreciate any feedback you've got on the article, too. Thanks . . . . -- BrianSmithson 22:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Giordano Bruno

Well, if you wish to reapply the category go ahead. I tend to believe in avoiding category clutter, in that a person should be added to a category only if their "claim to fame" is in that category. So if a person would not be encyclopedic solely based on their activity in category X (even if it was a lifelong passionate interest or even profession of theirs), then they shouldn't be added to that category.

For example, William Herschel was an accomplished musician and composer and music teacher and bandleader, and made his living in the field of music (until he discovered Uranus and became famous and the king paid him a salary to devote himself to astronomy). However, his musical compositions are forgotten today; his claim to fame is astronomy. Accordingly, we don't classify him under the musicians or composers category.

You got issues

Seriously, dude, you got issues. I don't know. Maybe it's a middle-age crisis, or something. First, the RfC, then about me wanting Romania influencing R. of Moldova, and now you remove a message from someone who wished you a Merry X-Mas. Dude, relax! So you're a Jew. So what? I'm not religious, but I still celebrate X-Mas. Don't take people's well-wishes for granted! That same user wished the same to Raul, but instead of giving him a teddy bear, he got a bike.

About R. of Moldova: of course I want us to influence them and have them re-unite with us. Every sane Romanian would want this. Telling Bogdan and other Romanians to go against such an opinion will do you no good, since they don't disagree with me. At best, they disagree with the way I express my self, but that's where it ends.

Merry X-Mas, dude. Or whatever you celebrate. It starts with H, or something. Hanalulu, Hananaka, perhaps. --Anittas 03:14, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Armenians in Romania

Thanks a lot, but I did very little. Most of the info is on one of the sites I referenced in external links (the Divers one). I paraphrased it anyway, but it looks to be generically available info (it is not in the content of the magazine itself, but in a general presentation; also, it seems to rely on outside sources as well). Tell me what you think about Greeks in Romania.Dahn 08:55, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know that his first recorded name was Caragiali (in a rendering nearer to modern Greek, that should be Karagiali). I think his family had immigrated to the Principalities a generation, perhaps two, earlier. He never did shy away from pointing out his origin, and I think he spoke Greek as his first language (I shouldn't say "first" - perhaps "initial" describes it better). It's perhaps apocrypha¹, but I read somewhere that, since Mateiu was so keen on preserving the Middle Ages and the taste of the old days, he had started drawing up an absurd genealogy for his family (this part is for certain); Caragiale would have acted surprised, and he would have said/written to Mateiu saying "Your grandfather was a Greek pastry cook; you want genealogy? Check out your head: yours to might've kept the flatness given by years of carrying the tray and using your hands at the same time". His father was the only one of three brothers that did not stay in theater.Dahn 09:20, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fascism in the political spectrum article

Hi there, I just noticed that you put the word "fascism" back into the Political_spectrum#Left_and_Right section of the "Political Spectrum" article and placed it on the right, where it had been until an anonymous editor moved it to the left. The reason I removed it altogether was that in its early days its German incarnation National Socialism made quite a few pronouncements in favour of collectivism, especially agrarian collectivism. Actual policy, once the movement was in power, was the opposite, of course. (I'm not familiar with Mussolini's Italian fascism at all). The fact that nowadays the word "fascism" is used as a derogative synonym for any totalitarian ideology doesn't help either.

I'm not going to revert anything or move anything around, it's just that the issue isn't straightforward. Pilatus 01:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Views on Categorization

Hi, Taking your suggestion, I will draft a new policy about categorization.

I understand your third position, and I agree with the examples you mention. I find it very frustrating when articles are filed in obscure categories and then removed from the population of the parent category. However I question the need for listing the examples as a "third option". I believe the situation you mention falls under the "other cases where duplication is also acceptable." If anything, I'd like to simplify the language on the categorization page to the most general terms and direct the discussion to the talk page. If we try and get all the details posted on the categorization page we risk splintering the discussion. So I'm hoping that you might find is some more general phrasing acceptable, and could perhaps perfect the previous "two option" language. -- Samuel Wantman 07:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be so kind to add your comentary on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#arbitrary_use_of_power_privileges Your opinion counts. Bonaparte talk 08:53, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Has been deleted. It's about this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=32977559
==arbitrary use of power privileges==
There are two very important aspects that some Administrators continue to ignore them:
  • the illegitimate use of Admin power for private purposes, (eg. gain position in debate talks)
  • arbitrary use of power privileges
Again there has to be the rule of law rather then rule of rulers, there are some constraints of the arbitrary use of power, and has to be implemented the rule of law rather then rule of rulers.
I am against the arbitrary use of power privileges. Bonaparte talk 08:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese Communist Party

The classification of Salazar's regime is questionable and a controversial issue, but it had several fascist characteristics, in the same way that many non-communist regimes are regarded as communist, why can't be the portuguese regarded as fascist? Was Franco a fascist? I think it was. You can be considered a fascist if you have a militia and a political police, like PIDE, if you support corporativism, if you take communism as the country's biggest enemy as Salazar did, if you have only one party, if you send troops to aid Franco in the spanish civil war along with Italy and Germany, if you have a concentration camp for political prisoners, Tarrafal, if you call your national day the "day of the race", if you send 10.000 soldiers to die in colonial wars, just to keep the empire in the 1970s, etc... Every member of the resistance is called anti-fascist in Portugal. Their organization is the Union of the Portuguese Anti-fascists, the "fascist regime" is present everyday.

But anyway, if that is the only objection to the FA status, I can change fascist for right-wing dictatorial or something, and anti-fascist for "member of the resistance". Thanks anyway for your work on the article. Afonso Silva 00:01, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear from the above: are you asking for my personal view or are you asking what I think Wikipedia should say? Personally, I define fascism broadly enough to include both Franco and Salazar. Personally, I think it's too bad they got to live out their lives as free men and to die in their beds. But it is not Wikipedia's role to opine and condemn, but to narrate facts and to indicate the range of well-informed opinion. And scholars vary in their views of whether Salazar and Franco should be considered fascist. So we should report that.
By the way, I did not say I had thoroughly studied the article and that I was sure it is almost ready to be featured and that I have only one issue with it. In fact, I merely skimmed the article, made some copy edits, and had this issue leap out at me which I felt was large enough that it should be addressed before it could possibly be appropriate to feature the article.
Do let me know if and when this change is made, and I will withdraw my objection. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll include something like "fascist leaning", or "fascist influenced" regime along with the other definitions, and remove the reference to fascism where it is possible. I'll do it right after this. About any other objections, I just thought you've read it all, sorry. Afonso Silva 00:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's done, I've added a end note with the Salazar article clarification of the issue and avoided the term in the text. Regards! Afonso Silva 00:44, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you Joe in 2006! You should make an update on your user page ;) Bogdan is back again by long time now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmabel#Trust  :) Bonaparte talk 15:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia R/E

Please remember that there is an ongoing conversation at User talk:JCarriker/Wikipedia: Race and Ethnicity. Please add it to your watchlist and/or check for new posts regularly. PS Can you believe we have been editing wikipedia over a period that spans four seperate years? Thanks. -JCarriker 19:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I realize that the page is inactive, which is why I reminded everyone who was invited that it is meant to be an ongoing dialog. Also off topic, I tried making contact with Wiley before their Christmas break and literally got no response, no person or machine responded to the phone call. I did talk with a local historian who collaborates often with Wiley and she gave me a contact name. I'll try to get a yea or nay response before the Seattle meetup, I can be just as persistent/annoying in real life as I am online. ;) -JCarriker 18:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mikka is gone. How many times I told him to stop it? Bonaparte talk 20:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Noticeboard

Hi Joe! Thanks for your comments! Hopefully the current state of crisis that the Romanian Wikipedia community finds itself in can be overcome. Maybe something like a group mediation session would be good. Ronline ✉ 07:23, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

EffK

Since you are obviously coming from a very different place than either Cberlet or myself, can you make any sense of EffK's comments at Talk:Nazism in relation to other concepts? He and I are both bewildered. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote me an email about this once, which I answered. I never heard back, have you read it? Sam Spade 23:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal about categories and subcategories

I've posted a proposal about categories and subcategories here. Please take a look. Thanks. -- Samuel Wantman 09:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The links I found them independently searching in google for "victory avenue" http://www.google.ro/search?hl=de&q=victory+avenue&meta= and the second link was those above. I have to admit that you were "schneller" then me. Bonaparte talk 20:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article The Squirrels, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Portal:Romania/New_article_announcements
