Your contributed article Segobriga

Hi I've noticed that you have done a lot of work in May on Roman sites in Spain. I think this page of information needs to be moved to Archaeological Park of Segobriga which links to List of Roman sites in Spain. I may do this in a day or so if that's okay with you. I haven't edited Wikipedia for a while but I thought I might do something on this as I have some photos. SuzanneKn (talk) 14:48, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Just seen your comment. I think Segobriga is important enough to need its own page, like the Spanish one, without the need to include "Archaeological Park" in the Title. I will add to it soon. I have no objection to including the material in Archaeological Park of Segobriga. --Rjdeadly (talk) 17:43, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Translations

Hello. It seems you're interested in having some articles on locations in Spain created here on English Wikipedia. If the articles are already on Spanish Wikipedia and you'd like to recommend that others use those as the basis for articles in English here, a couple of ways to go about that are explained at WP:Translation. If you want to take the approach you were taking, you should at least create proper stubs in English. If you do that, then the {{Expand Spanish}} template acts as a suggestion to anyone who might be inclined to expand the stub that they might borrow material from the Spanish version if they are so inclined. If you add no content on your own, it's as though you're giving out assignments for others to do for you. :-) —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Copy-pasting from Wikipedia

Hi! I noticed that you copy-pasted material from Rome into Founding of Rome with the parent page in read-only mode. The citations are therefore merely numeric, and empty per this diff]. Obviously, you didn't thoroughly check the results of your edit. You also performed the copy-paste without acknowledging the Wikipedia source. I really would prefer not to kick up a fuss about this at administrative level, as you do good work here; but you've been politely informed about this and similar copyright issues on several occasions by others, myself included, and have been briefly blocked for breaches in the not-too-distant past. You were unblocked on the understanding that you undertook to comply with policy. Please fix things up at Founding of Rome, take the relevant policy more seriously, and edit with more care in future. Thanks in advance for dealing with this. Best, Haploidavey ([[User talk:|talk]]) 16:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haploidavey: Ok I've explained the text copying on the relevant talk pages, but I don't know how else to comply e.g. to modify the edit summary for the Founding of Rome as it's too late for that nowRjdeadly (talk) 22:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, and the rapid response. Of course, once you hit "save", that's that -- whatever you've done is in the history, "warts and all" -- but you've done the right thing in crediting the source on the talk-page. The citation problem remains, and must be addressed. I suggest you open both Founding of Rome and the Rome article in edit mode, and replace the relevant Founding of Rome content complete with fully embedded inline citations. Then carefully check the refs, giving full titles etc if these have been truncated (which is likely). Complete the edit summary (including acknowledgment of source), hit save, et voila! you've made good. Hope that's clear. Haploidavey (talk) 08:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haploidavey: Thanks. Hope that's ok now Rjdeadly (talk) 10:22, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Pretty much OK, apart from the Coarelli reference, which should be written in full, with page number, for the first use under "References". Although Coarelli is also under "Further reading", that's a slightly different issue (it suggests reading the whole work, not just the particular page used in the references. It would also be helpful to include the relevant page number for Heiken, G., Funiciello, R. and De Rita, D. (2005). Cheers. Haploidavey (talk) 10:57, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Now you are asking me to further improve the originals, as the Coarelli reference was not written in full for its first use, neither was relevant page number given for Heiken. Perhaps someone else can help.Rjdeadly (talk) 13:58, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Well, one can ask, and every little helps. But as you say... Haploidavey (talk) 14:14, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, call me cynical but I have yet to see much major support on improving some of the very poor pages on similar subjects in the last few yearsRjdeadly (talk) 16:53, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Roman Walls & Limes

Hi, you seem to be systematically emptying categories of the articles. You seem to have a preference for Category:Roman defensive walls in Britain. Why is this? What's your problem with categorising walls / limes by Roman province? Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:51, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Roman Walls is a nonsensical category. There are many thousands of Roman walls most of which do not warrant a description nor certainly a category. What is meant by walls in these pages is "defensive walls" so the correct description should be used. "Limes" is word that is obscure and has a specific meaning and context, mainly applying to the border in Germany. The use of this word elsewhere is a bizarre invention. "Defensive wall" is clear, obvious and better. Rjdeadly (talk) 19:32, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

It is not my personal view as the quality of this sculpture is well documented in the references (and others) given.

Villa Guilia (Ventotene) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Villa Guilia (Ventotene), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Melania the Younger. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:28, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mirebeau (disambiguation)

The article Mirebeau (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Giallo antico moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Giallo antico, is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. There are large sections which are wholly uncited. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:36, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

I find it bizarre that the equivalent page on Italian Wikipedia https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmo_giallo_antico from which the page is derived has been there for many years, yet it has the same number of references. Why do you have different criteria for their pages?

Also there are many english wiki pages with very few references and have been there for many years. Rjdeadly (talk) 10:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. ~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 13:13, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick

As I said in one of the first edits, most of the material added was translated text from https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elea-Velia. Other material was from elswhere but should not be copyrighted. So there should be no reason for you to revert it :Rjdeadly (talk) 15:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia. I do see that one of your edits did identify that it came from another Wikipedia article. While that notification didn't meet the best practices, I should have noticed that and simply asked you to do the attribution correctly in the future. Thanks for bringing this to my attention — I have restored the version. S Philbrick(Talk) 19:01, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I moved Temple of Hera, Agrigento to draft space

Hello @Rjdeadly,

Hope all is well. I draftified Temple of Hera, Agrigento-- I am not very sure if the state of the article is good enough to go up to the main space. I think it will be nice to have more citations and formatting.

Kindly let me know if I have made a mistake. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 15:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@TheLonelyPather

I don't understand why you've done this. I've effectively changed the name of the article from Temple of Hera Lacinia, because this title was wrong, to Temple of Hera, Agrigento, by moving the contents to the new page, as I explained already. The original article has been a wiki page for 10 years and, although poor, was considered acceptable all that time! So why on earth should the contents be judged "not good enough" now? I even improved the contents by adding one reference.Rjdeadly (talk) 17:53, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Sorry for the mistake. I will move Temple of Hera, Agrigento back to main space. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 23:13, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@TheLonelyPather OK thanksRjdeadly (talk) 09:33, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

November 2023

Your recent editing history at Punic people shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Roman pronunciation

In the page "roman empire" you reverted my edit by claiming that roman pronunciation is unknown, even though indicating long vowels was a practice common among the ancient romans themselves by use of the apex. I do not wish to revert it back to my revision, as that would go against wikimedia's rules. But please, tell me why you believe it is that way when the classical pronunciation is accurately known today. Ελίας (talk) 19:42, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ελίας Where is your evidence that "indicating long vowels was a practice common among the ancient romans themselves..."? It was rather rare and limited to some classes and examples, and furthermore as the Wikipedia article Latin phonology and orthography states: "Latin phonology continually evolved over the centuries, making it difficult for speakers in one era to know how Latin was spoken before then" and modern scholarship is at best a reconstruction of Classical Latin's phonemes.Rjdeadly (talk) 21:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

It's not because a practice was rare that it didn't exist. Also, even though latin phonology evolved over time, the long and short phonemes have distinct reflexes in the romance languages, with the exception of /a/. Thus, not only is the reconstruction reliable and easily reproduced, it is also necessary to distinguish otherwise identical forms and to indicate proper pronunciation. Ελίας (talk) 22:49, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ελίας No-one said it didn't exist, but "..a practice common among the ancient romans.." is not justified. The Romance languages are far from ancient Latin. Rjdeadly (talk) 12:14, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I know, but this was just to illustrate my point. If these phonemes have different reflexes in romance languages, then it's proof of their importance. Ελίας (talk) 12:16, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ελίας That does not mean that "..the classical pronunciation is accurately known today". Rjdeadly (talk) 12:49, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Roman forts in Bulgaria

A tag has been placed on Category:Roman forts in Bulgaria indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:10, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Cut-and-paste moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Bersobis a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

@Pppery I tried the "Move" but it didn't allow it because there was some message about not allowing moves to names with parantheses Rjdeadly (talk) 22:45, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

CCI Notice

Hello, Rjdeadly. This message is being sent to inform you that a request for a contributor copyright investigation has been filed at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions to Wikipedia in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. Thank you. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 09:15, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

@GreenLipstickLesbian You don't say what it refers to so I have no clue. Rjdeadly (talk) 10:09, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Rjdeadly.

While the edit that prompted me to start looking was this one, which contained both close paraphrasing of a source and an unattributed copying from another Wikipedia page, I filed the request upon seeing that you were previously blocked for copyright violations and then, since your unblock, been warned at least five times for continuing to insert copyright violations into articles. [1][2][3][4][5]. Do you have any further questions? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 10:21, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that we have opened the investigation. The4lines |||| ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 03:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

July 2024

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  MER-C 16:09, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

---

Request reason:

I apparently closely paraphrased a source which I tried to avoid and which I am sorry for, but how close a paraphrase is to a source is sometimes not easy to judge when including the key points. The unattributed copy from another Wikipedia page is also regrettable and something which I usually avoid but I must have made an error this time, but given that it is the public domain it doesn't seem so serious. Given the many significant contributions to improving pages, of new pages and many new images I've contributed over the years it seems to me that banning me is harsh and gives me no credit for many 100s of hours of input Rjdeadly (talk) 20:54, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, so we must take such matters seriously to protect the project. Your good contributions don't outweigh the violations. This isn't your first offense. 331dot (talk) 22:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
