See of Sardis edit
If you can refer me to any sources you think I've overlooked in writing this article, I'd be happy to add them. I cited every single source I could find for "see of sardis," "bishop of sardis," "archbishop of sardis," etc. on google (web, scholar, and books), lexis, and historical NYT. I did not intend to imply that Sardis was exclusively Roman Catholic (although the titular archbishops listed definitely were); I think the article entirely avoids the question of how the early church comported to any present day Christian denomination. savid@n 19:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Teneke (novel) edit
Hi! Would you please tell me what the reason was to remove the "Major characters" section from the Teneke (novel) article?.CeeGee 18:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- In order t judge about tha you must have read the novel. If you can Turkish I can send you the url. What I did was correct. CeeGee 18:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Tomorow, I'm gonna explain the story to you. Sorry, but I gotta go to bed now. See you tomorrow.CeeGee 19:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- The story goes like this: The post of the district governor (Kaymakam) is vacant. The standing in Kaymakam Resul Efendi is incapable and does not want to sign the permits, which will allow to plant rice in the fields provided for grain. The newly appointed inexperienced Kaymakam is easily swindled by Okçuoğlu, the ruthless rice planter, and gives the seasonal consession. Soon afterwards, he learns from the governmental doctor that rice planting would cause spreading of malaria. In the meantime, Okçuoğlu puts pressure on Osman Agha, a rich landowner in the town, to sell his field so that he (Okçuoğlu) can overflood more land. Incited by Zeyno Kari, the peasant Memed Ali the Kurd opposes Okçuoğlu. Inspired by his fianceé Nermin, the Kaymakam tries to back the marred landowners in order to make up his wrong decision... More, I won't tell. I guess I could explain a little bit the situation. By this opportunity, I would ask you to check the history page of an article before you take any action. I created this article and I would never vandalize my own work. A question posted in the related talkpage would help us save a lot of time. Cheers. CeeGee 18:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi.
In Talk:A380 you wrote:
- A380 refers in 99.9% of cases to the aircraft. This page should redirect there. At most there should be a link from the Airbus A380 page to the disambiguation.
Unfortunately 99.9% simply is not true. I know, because I went through all the links to A380 (as well as A300, A310, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A350) to disambiguate them properly. Unfortunately I didn't keep formal records, but at least six articles with links to A380 were obviously intending to point to A380 road, against perhaps 100 that were intending to point to Airbus A380. That might be 94%, but it is way off 99.9%.
The fundamental problem with doing what you have done is that there is no software way of detecting incorrect links. With (eg) A380 as a dab page, there are existing scripts that will flag links to dab pages for resolution. By making this change, you have ensured that policing of incorrect links has to be a time consuming manual process. Which is absolutely fine if you are prepared to commit to that.
Although I disagree quite strongly with your changes, I won't attempt to revert them. However I will keep my eye on this; if the number of incorrect links seems to be building up again, I'll reconsider that decision. -- Starbois (talk) 12:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- Incidentally, there is (I suspect) an even bigger problem, where the boot is somewhat on the other foot. By long standing WP convention, all three/four digit numeric article titles refer to years in the current era. So articles 737 and 747 have absolutely nothing to do with aviation. But as a side effect of my dab efforts on A???, I found a good ten cases where editors of aviation based articles linked to them in the clear misapprehension that they were referring to articles on the Boeing 737 and Boeing 747. This just makes the source articles and WP look silly. Any thoughts on what can be done. -- Starbois (talk) 12:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for looking over the Greek. I have a question though - does φέρνω have the same etymological root as φέρω? That extra n worries me. But then, I know little of Greek, ancient or Modern. Akerbeltz (talk) 21:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Apologies, it was impolite. Only excuse is a not paying attention, rather than deliberate offence. Monstrelet (talk) 17:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
