Topkapı Palace

Hi! Thanks for asking me to assist you at the Topkapı Palace page. I will do what I can. Please be patient since I have very limited time. Cheers. CeeGee 15:08, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Here are some explanations you asked about:

Kameriye (Ottoman Turkish: Kameriyye) is a booth, rude shelter open on all sides with a roof of branches or thatch in a garden.
Kasr (or sometimes Kasır) is a summer palace, richly decorated hunting lodge or pleasure-house.
Köşk (English: Kiosk) is a large wooden house set in a big garden, or a small, richly decorated outbuilding of a palace or richly decorated hunting lodge.
Pavyon (English: Pavillion) is usually one of a complex of detached buildings.

Chora Church

Thanks for adding more information regarding the Chora Church. It deserves a lot more attention as it is (in my humble opinion) the greatest example of Byzantine frescoes that I have ever seen. I just wish I had more time to get to all the articles that are somewhat deficient. Good show! Monsieurdl 19:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Commons

Thanks for the tip. I added those images ages ago, and have in the meantime realised that the extra step was unnecessary, as you say. --Javits2000 16:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey there

Long time, my friend. If possible, need your help with Icsunonove - it seems he feels he can dance around wiki and throw out any and all the insults he can while trying to get others (like me) in trouble if I attempt to remove his non-topic personal attacks. Just check out Talk:Province of Bolzano-Bozen or User talk:FrancescoMazzucotelli‎ and you will see what I mean. This kid really thinks he can go around slandering others as he pleases.

South Tyrol (+steward elections)

Hello Gryffindor, I see only now your message on my talk page at Lombard wikipdia. Unfortunately, I have taken a long wikibreak, just due to the not nice discussion you mentioned. Unfortunately, I am very busy, so I am afraid I cannot take part in wikipedia until next year. Yet I make an exception for steward elections 2007: I am going to vote pro M7 to be confirmed, against the confirmation of Snowdog, against the election of .anaconda and Nick1915. Snowdog and Nick1915 raised a harsh conflict against our wikipedia just one year ago, so they cannot be stewards, insofar as against small communities. Also, you can check that the language of Snowdog is unbecoming (I say that with understatement, please see the archived version of steward elections 2006). Moreover a draft had been drawn of a propose collaboration between the ITA and CH national chapters and the Lombard community: the above users voted for its deletionǃ, and .anaconda for strong deletion. I let you imagine what kind of use they conceive of wikimedia.

Now, turning back to South Tyrol: we should make up consent for moving it back to its natural name. Please keep me informed by e-mail (which however I still have to learn to activate). Starting from next year I can take part in discussions, however, please keep into account that I am very sensible to the (probably unconscious) fascist behaviour by (some of the) Italian people: my father escaped from fascist persecution by going to Switzerland. The fascist attitude toward South Tyrol is still alive, unfortunately. Finally, let me tell you taht I did appreciate the tone of the note you dropped me at my user page. Best regards, --85.2.185.24 (talk) 09:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC) (lmo:user:Belinzona) PS I will be online again next monday, 3th december 2007, so you can drop me a note at my user page, if you prefer.

Along those lines, Icsunonove has violated the permanent topic ban that was agreed upon on ANI within just a few short weeks. Rarelibra (talk) 08:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RNR5_Herrenhaus.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RNR5_Herrenhaus.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:28, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Image:RNR6_ALTESABGEORDNETENHAUS.JPG

I have tagged Image:RNR6_ALTESABGEORDNETENHAUS.JPG as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:28, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:RNR8_BUNDESRAT.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:28, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Help needed - grievance with administrator

Hi Gryffindor;

How are you? I hope you've had a merry Christmas. Very recently, I've had an issue with an administrator, which you can view here: User talk:Charles#Duchy of Teschen. I am unsure on how to proceed but I would like to have something done about it and I trust your judgement. Should I file an RfC? I feel the user has been consistently uncivil with me. Thanks! Charles 23:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I also found this when trying to read up on ArbCom! Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Darwinek, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Darwinek 2, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Darwinek. Are any of these still binding? Charles 23:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Wow. Charles is first engaging in a series of personal attacks on those and related pages, and then when he succeeds in batiting another user, he complains that he is being attacked. I read Dawrinek's post above only the second one is midely incivil - but hardly supprising considering the baiting that came before it; it is certanly no more incivil than Charles' preceeding threats of "you will be reported and punished" in his discussion of Darwinek, and probably less than Charles' opening a new discussion with bad faith accusations and following it with accusations of editors who disagreed with him being skewed, accusing them of hating Germany, "purposeful obscurcation" and so on. And as long as we are considering ArbComs, I'd strongly recommend that Charles should be made aware of this general restriction.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 23:59, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I really am not surprised to see you here, Piotrus. From your comments of "saddening", etc, you can go on all you want and then hold something against someone which you do yourself, to a greater degree sometimes. Charles 00:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Gryffindor, please disregard this very unpleasant mess. I have posted it at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement#Darwinek and breach of standard civility parole and it seems I've received a late Christmas present! :/ Charles 01:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Replica Buildings

Hi Gryffindor, it's Robert. I have been pushing the category of "Rekonstruiertes Bauwerk" in German Wikipedia, and we already have nice results. (It's an interesting topic , with all those "newly born" churches in Eastern Europe and the heated discussion in Germany about the Stadtschloss, Berlin, Dresden's Frauenkirche etc.)

Now a friend has told me: there is so far no article on this kind of reconstruction of buildings in the English Wikipedia - and he wants me to do something about it. I was about to write at least a stub, but I am hesitant to log in. Could I get you on board for our project? If interested have a look at Talk:St Mark's Campanile.

My stub would read as follows:

A Replica Building is a building that is reconstructed in almost identical form after destruction. This usually happens with landmark buildings that have been destroyed by some natural or historical catastrophy.

The erection of replica buildings tends to be advocated by by a wave of popular sentiment (e.g. in the case of the rebuilding of Warsaw's historic old town and Royal Palace or in the case of the so called "Newly Born Churches" in Eastern Europe, where predecessor buildings have been wilfully destroyed by Stalinism). However, there is also criticism, usually brought forth by architects and specialists of conservation, who see in the erection of replica buildings the danger of creating historically untrue Disneylands.

Best wishes

This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Go-Momozono vs. Momozono, the second vs. Momozono II

Your recent edit changed something minor -- suggesting that somehow the formulation "Momozono II" might work better than "Momozono, the second." In this context, I was persuaded that the wording was better the way it was before Perhaps your reasoning might convince me that my perspective was a little too narrowly focused. As you may have noticed, a variation of this paragraph is incorporated into the articles on several emperors; and if your way of parsing the elements of this issue is compelling, then I would want to alter the others to conform ....

At this point, I think that "Momozono, the second" is less elegant, less expected, less crisp than "Momozono II"-- which is exactly why I think that this non-standard usage becomes a better choice in this unique context. Although not necessarily relevant here, it happens that I do actually remember seeing something like this two or three times in early-Meiji sources -- not specifically having to do with Go-Momozono, I think, but with some other emperors ....

I would have thought the logic which we adopt in the case of French kings (Louis I-XVI, for example) or English kings (George I-V, for example) would represent a generally accepted, conventional, standard formulation -- which I would construe as arguing for the use of "Momozono, the second et al.," as a stylistic way of indicating a deliberate non-standard usage.

Do you see my point? What do you think?

I'm going to copy this note at Talk:Emperor Go-Momozono#Go-Momozono vs. Momozono, the second vs. Momozono II so that others can comment, if they have an opinion to share. Please respond there. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 23:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Byzantium 1200

Hallo Gryffindor, I see that you are adding the link to Byzantium 1200 to several articles about byzantine monuments in Istanbul. I did the same some months ago, but I removed all of them after I observed how the article about Valens Aqueduct has been deleted because of a copyright issue with Byzantium 1200. Was this problem solved in the meantime? I don't want to see all my nice articles deleted... ;-) Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 10:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Ciao Gryffindor. Yes, I am totally serious, and I don't know the reason. As a matter of fact, I wrote the article that you see now about a couple of months ago, after noticing that the previous one was deleted. Who is in charge of article deletion? I think that we should investigate.

About the edits, don't worry. Each constructive critic (and also some not constructive ;-)) is most welcomed! You are 100% right, I should be more careful. Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 10:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

St -> St..

Hi there, it appears the two forms are synonymous, see MOS:ABBR.

The problem with moving pages for this purpose is:

1. . Consistency. Other churches in Westminster are listed as 'St', not 'St.'. This can lead to order problems in categories.
2. . Now about 20-odd references point to a redirect.
