== Translations ==

Hello Furius. Congratulations on all the great translation work you have been doing from Italian and German over the past couple of weeks. Are these your preferred languages or are you just as happy with French and Spanish? I am frequently asked to translate from these languages too but there's often too much to do. Perhaps you could help out from time to time? --[[User:Ipigott|Ipigott]] ([[User talk:Ipigott|talk]]) 08:29, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
: Thanks Ipigott. French I can do roughly as easily as German and Italian. Spanish takes a bit longer, but I'm happy to try! [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 12:53, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
:: I recently became involved in the Bremen QR project where I have copy-edited all the English translations to date and added some of my own. {{bots|deny=DPL bot}}You can see [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Godewind/QR-Code_auf_Infotafeln here] that there's still quite a bit to be covered. If you would like to help out, I think it would be useful to have translations of [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremer_B%C3%B6rse Bremer Börse] and the [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domshof Domshof] but I think that for English-speaking users, some of the detail could be left out. You can use your discretion. Let me know if you are interested.--[[User:Ipigott|Ipigott]] ([[User talk:Ipigott|talk]]) 18:11, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello again, it's me! Thanks a lot for your great work, once more! I just wanted to ask you whether you'd be interested in improving the article [[Aachen Gospels]] with the [[:de:Schatzkammer-Evangeliar|German version]]. Maybe you could actually separate the content and turn it into an article exculively about the Carolingian manuscript like in the German version, since you've already translated the [[Liuthar Gospels]]. Hope to here from you soon.--[[User:Der Spion|Der Spion]] ([[User talk:Der Spion|talk]]) 21:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

::A Hungarian cake, when a [[German Chocolate Cake]] (not invented in Germany, however) may have been more fitting. When I crossed that article in the German Wikipedia, I knew it belonged here.  It is a complement to [[Three hares]], and that English wikipedia's article is better by far than the German was (haven't looked at it recently).  Cheers! <span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">[[User:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b>]] ([[User talk:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#000">☎</b>]])</span> 02:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:::And if you wanted to contribute to the German wikipedia (I don't know if you go in that direction) you could translate English wikipedia [[Three hares]].  Of course, I have a documented bias, but I think our article is much more comprehensive than theirs. There is, however, the additional problem of the discontinuity of the German Wikipedia sourcing requirements from the English, and given their greater Germanic stringency it may not even be possible. This reminds me of the [[Rheinheitsgebot]], which is living proof of the difference between Belgians and Germans and their approaches to beer and life. <span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">[[User:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b>]] ([[User talk:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#000">☎</b>]])</span> 00:13, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Egyptian Museum ==

Hello. Sorry, but I really don't catch why you are putting some - quite random for me - ancient Egypt-related articles in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Egyptian_Museum this category] that you've created... --[[User:Khruner|Khruner]] ([[User talk:Khruner|talk]]) 19:34, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
: Hi [[User:Khruner|Khruner]]. The category contains items stored in the [[Egyptian Museum]] and also some people who have been particularly associated with the museum. It imitates the German ''Kategorie:Ägyptisches Museum (Kairo)''. In general, categories for museum collections seem to be more common on German wiki than English wiki, but I think they provide useful information (To potential visitors to a given museum, for instance). I think that the fact that the collections are quite random in every respect other than their shared current location strengthens the utility of placing them in a common category. [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 01:32, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
:: Well, I totally agree about the first type you mentioned, but I have doubts about the second one: how do you - and anyone using this cat in the future as well - determine whether one is particularly associated enough? Sounds more like a catchall for me, considering that the Cairo Museum possesses something for almost every known ancient Egyptian people and topic, I guess... [[User:Khruner|Khruner]] ([[User talk:Khruner|talk]]) 08:45, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to this article. I've noticed that you've mis-typed a couple of citation template parameter names. If not typed correctly, the citation doesn't display properly and the page gets added to a category of pages with errors. You typed "<code>access date</code>", which breaks the template; the correct parameter name is "<code>accessdate</code>", without the space. Another typo was using "<code>Title</code>"; the parameter name is not capitalized, and should be entered as "<code>title</code>". Just a friendly heads-up so you can avoid similar errors in the future. It's helpful to scan the reference list after adding citations to make sure they are error-free; errors are indicated by <font color="red">red text</font> and usually suggest a solution.

== re: unknown Arsacids ==

I mean that you need a source that they are "most obscure" and "second most obscure"? What makes him more obscure than "Unknown", King of Elam	c. 821 BC? What makes him more obscure than his various Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek contemporaries? [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius|talk]]) 16:57, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I'll tell you. We have no idea who the hell he is or if his "son" was really his son or just a briefly lucky member of the regime. The various Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greeks who ruled Afghanistan and Pakistan at least had names that were recorded. We know NOTHING about these two guys....and yes, the "Unknown", King of Elam	(c. 821 BC) comes very close, but the two men in question were in the first century BC, a time when a vast amount of historical material survives. I mean we know all about all the major Romans from Marius to Augustus. We know a hell of a lot about the last of the Selucids and even more about the Ptolomies. The Chinese had lots of records about all sorts of "lost civilizations" in Central and East Asia. 

There are these two BLANKS just sitting there. Two major personages. Erased from history with just a couple of gaping holes in the record to mark their place. Kings of major empires are almost NEVER erased from history like this[[User:Ericl|Ericl]] ([[User talk:Ericl|talk]]) 17:42, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
: But this isn't as unusual as you are making out for kings from East of Judaea - they blip in and out of historical knowledge all the time because the literary evidence only records them when they interact with Rome. Mostly they are identified based on coins which are less than perfect: (cf. Seleukos VII, who blipped into existence due to the discovery of two coins [http://www.seleukidtraces.info/information/kritt] and then blipped out again when someone else analysed them: Hoover, O.D. 2005. “Dethroning Seleucus VIII Philometor (Cybiosactes): Epigraphical Arguments against a Late Seleucid Monarch.” ZPE 105, 95-99.). These two are likely exactly the same (I say likely, because the only source cited for their existence is an internet article which no longer exists). But my point is that this is a subjective judgement that you have made without a source - it is original research, and original research bound up with all sorts of assumptions which wikipedia editors don't get to make about what counts as a major king and what counts as obscure (apparently we know titles and exact reign dates (!) for both of them) - are they really more obscure then than a [[Antiochus Nikator|king who might not have existed]]? [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 19:08, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
::We can be pretty sure that someone who rules a MAJOR country and who is so completely erased from history that we don't know his name has got to be as obscure as you can physically get. It's the fault of the Sassanids more than anyone else, as when Fardousi wrote the Shah-Nama, he couldn't find any records of the Arcaids AT ALL.

Dear Furius, it's been quite a while since we were talking, but I'd like you to know that there's a quite grand discussion running these days about another complete overhaul of the German article on the [[Aachen Cathedral]]. I thought you might be interested, and as you will see, I've also already inserted the German Expand template. Maybe you want to wait for the German article's revision before you start dealing with the English version – of course, only in case you're interested.

: You turn out very good articles, so I was happy to translate it - and now [[lotus chalice]] as well. [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 00:06, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for the compliment - did not know it was that good, I just work. I try to get everything about a topic before I start an own article - or having gathered most important and enough information about it. Takes a lot of time. I am busy with other things than writing own articles in German Wikipedia most times. Everything else is a product of private research. Thanks for taking the lotus chalice either. I added much in the German version of [[Head of Nefertem]] ([[de: Kopf des Nefertem]]) recently, which may now be complete. While doing that I was working also on this one too because it is connected closely: [[de: Lotos (Altes Ägypten)]]. It is about the lotus in Ancient Egypt. If you want to add anything you should look for an English version of the book of the dead (the spell's numbers are the same). There should be much more articles about the treasure of Tutankhamun ... but it takes hard and extensive research. The golden throne and mask are waiting (still pausing), like the canopic chest as well. Will try get one of them ready the next months. But for finishing I need some more scientific literature. Thanks to you and and your work! --[[User:Sat Ra|Sat Ra]] ([[User talk:Sat Ra|talk]]) 19:27, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, any chance of doing him? There's a shortish German article [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrat_Meit here] - but "Conrad" is usual in English.

Hi. As I know you regularly translate articles from German wiki, I wondered if I could interest you in joining [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki]]. You can use the German workspace pages to organize missing German articles and work towards them etc. For instance you could list missing articles at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/German/Buildings]] and map out what is missing still. If interested, please add your name to the list on the wikiprojecy talk page with a tick as instructed and add your name to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/German]], and when I update I'll add you to the main page.♦ [[User:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>]] 09:16, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

== [[Aachen cathedral]] and the treasury ==

Granted, I am not an expert, but the source that I am using states that those items (chandelier, pulpit, etc) that I moved into the treasury are in it. My source is a reputable source; however I could be wrong. If you have reputable sources that state the opposite, I have no issues leaving it as is, as I just want it (the article) to be accurate. My source is The Dictionary of Art and the section on the treasury is written by Joachim Gaehde. I will leave it as is, until we figure out the best solution. I will also post up on the talk page to get others thoughts on the matter. Thanks. [[User:Speednat|speednat]] ([[User talk:Speednat|talk]]) 09:00, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
: The Dictionary of Art uses as it's source on the Treasury, E.G. Grimme's book ''Der Aachener Domschatz'', I belive the Aachen Cathedral Treasury from 1972. Again, I have not read that book, but it does seem clear as the quote states that 210 later additions to the treasury occurred since the original group including and then he lists a group of them with the aforementioned included. Let me know what you think.[[User:Speednat|speednat]] ([[User talk:Speednat|talk]]) 09:13, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

==WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages==
Thank you for your recent articles, including [[Gerhard Schaffran]], which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|assessment]] templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like <nowiki>{{WikiProject Keyword}}</nowiki> to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through [[Wikipedia:Article alerts]] and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Article alerts|Article Alerts]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages|Popular Pages]], [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Poland-related articles by quality statistics|Quality and Importance Matrix]] and the [https://tools.wmflabs.org/bambots/cwb/bycat/Poland.html Cleanup Listing]. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 09:15, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Please don't add now, it's ready for DYK, more rather later, please. Next wish: I came across [[Limburg Cathedral]] and noticed translation errors, such as "sharp crossing tower" for "spitzer Vierungsturm", not so sharp.

::::::Before you go further, may I ask: you ''are'' reviewing all those new French sources (Pénel, Serre, Pascal, Kalck 1995, etc.) yourself, right?

I do appreciate the work you've been putting into Africa coverage, and in principle don't mind a judicious expansion on Boganda.

If it was you that added citation 42 (AHM Jones' History of the Later Roman Empire, talking about where he claims that the army had roughly 600,000 soldiers), I was wondering if you could direct me to where exactly in the book it talks about that. The citation says pp 1.449-450 but in the online copy that I'm reading, pages 449 and 450 in the first volume don't talk about army size. Sorry for such a specific query, I was just wondering if maybe the edition you read was different than mine!

: Hi [[User:Cdnpoli3121|Cdnpoli3121]]! I translated the article from the Italian wikipedia, rather than writing it myself... and the problem that you have identified is a translation error. The reference should be pp. 1449-1450, of volume two (in Italian they write 1.000, rather than 1,000, hence the mistake). Hope that helps!

== Copying within Wikipedia ==

I was editing [[Achaean League]] to fix an [[EB1911]] source. Looking through the page I noticed two inline citations without support long ones. I used the [http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php?user_lang=en&lang=en&project=wikipedia&article=Achaean+League&needle=ceding+the+territories+that+he+had+lost+in+Greece&skipversions=0&ignorefirst=0&limit=500&offmon=9&offtag=7&offjahr=2018&searchmethod=int&order=desc&user= Wikiblame tool] to identity the edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achaean_League&diff=prev&oldid=768741348 Revision as of 14:39, 5 March 2017] by Furius. I then searched for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Achaean_League&diff=prev&oldid=768741348 "ceding the territories that he had lost in Greece"]. It throws up 3 pages with the identical text. As the article [[History of Macedonia (ancient kingdom)]] was created after your edit ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Macedonia_(ancient_kingdom)&oldid=771573404 09:07, 22 March 2017‎]), your edit must of copied text from [[Macedonia (ancient kingdom)]]

Please read [[WP:Copying within Wikipedia]] and particularly the section "[[WP:Copying within Wikipedia#Attribution is required for copyright|Attribution is required for copyright]]". If you persist in copying text between articles without giving the requited minimum attribution after this warning your account may be blocked.

There are secondary reasons for including such attribution when copying between Wikipedia articles see the section "[[WP:Copying within Wikipedia#Other reasons for attributing text|Other reasons for attributing text]]" in particular it makes the type of error you caused (when you copied partial citations) much easier for another editor to fix. Notice that when [[user:PericlesofAthens]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Macedonia_(ancient_kingdom)&oldid=771573404 created the article] "[[History of Macedonia (ancient kingdom)]]" (s)he included in the editorial comment "{{green|''creating article by splitting material from [[Macedonia (ancient kingdom)]], and summarizing this material in that main article''}}" that is all that is requited for an adequate copyright attribution. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 18:33, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

:BTW copyright is exactly the same if you copy and translate text from another Wikipedia language. In which case if the copy was from the French article then you can use the same method of attribution eg "''{{green|Copied and translated text from the French article [[:fr:Ligue achéenne]]}}''" -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 18:47, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

:::As it seems you were unaware until now that copying within Wikipedea without adequate attribution was a copyright violation, but all is not lost.
:::Make an inconsequential edit (eg add a space to the end of a sentence) to all of the articles to which you have copied stuff in the past and add an editorial comment stating when (time stamp) and where (linked page name) you copied the text.

== Vandalism to ancient dates ==
Hello, [[User:Furius|Furius]],

I've been spending hours reverting vandalism that a series of IP accounts (66.210.239.21-66.210.239.25) made over January and February. There are hundreds of edits primarily to year articles (like [[AD 82]]) and biographies of ancient figures (like [[Marcus Atius]]), where the editor altered the birth or death date by a year or so. This has resulted in several categories being deleted since it appeared that no one was born or died during certain years and the categories were empty when that was really not the case. Since not a lot of content was removed (often the edits are 0 bytes), these tiny edits are hard to detect and often were individually reverted by well-intentioned editors while the IP accounts' edit histories were not examined.

I'm writing to you because as I've been reverting this vandalism, I've seen your edits to these same types of articles. I'd like to ask you that if during your editing, you see this pattern of vandalism, if you could let me or another admin know so we can block these accounts. Needless to say that these edits took little time to do but involved much more time cleaning up. Thanks! <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 21:20, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

== List of rump states ==

Now, I get that you thought reverting was the easiest way to add in sources, but what would have been more advisable is add in each example as you had sources for them. As for the sources, I would like for you to confirm for me that they ''explicitly'' stated that they were rump states. As I explained in the article discussion, we are not allowed to be a lens or filter for the source information. In an article that lists a specific quality of a thing, the sources ''must explicitly'' note that quality. We cannot make that leap of definition. <br>
Please confirm that each of the sources you added ''explicitly'' note the examples as rump states. I'll wait a few days for your confirmation, out of the AGF. There will likely be repercussions if these sources are not explicit. - [[User:Jack Sebastian|Jack Sebastian]] ([[User talk:Jack Sebastian|talk]]) 09:44, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
: The sources are all explicitly using the term "rump state" (the source for Ming refers to "rump Ming"). They are all accessible online (some through JSTOR, I admit). As for what would have been 'more advisable', it is usual to make use of the ''citation needed'' tag in these cases rather than deleting outright or indeed to actually look for some sources yourself.  You chose not to do either of these things and you have now chosen to come here sabre-rattling and threatening repercussions, which does not strike me as particularly nice. [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 10:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
::You are right; I wasn't as nice as I could have been. THe history of the article has been somewhat of a checkered one, with clever little fellows adding maps and/or their own opinions trussed up with references from forum discussions. With the exception of the Pakistan one, you've done some fine sourcing work, and I apologize if my routine exasperation with being reverted upset you. - [[User:Jack Sebastian|Jack Sebastian]] ([[User talk:Jack Sebastian|talk]]) 16:52, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

== List of Roman theaters ==

I saw that you (rightly) noted that one of the theaters on this page isn't a "Roman" theater. This gets to a problem I've long had with this and the corresponding Greek theaters pages (which isn't so nice). That is, there really isn't a sharp distinction between these two categories and there also exist examples of the genre that are neither Greek nor Roman, depending on how you want to define those terms. What to do? - [[User:Eponymous-Archon|Eponymous-Archon]] ([[User talk:Eponymous-Archon|talk]]) 19:10, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, and of course, several of them are both Greek and Roman. "Greco-Roman theaters" is probably the solution. [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 22:00, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

== Accessing this ==

Hi Furius, do you know where one can find access to this particular source you added for use at [[Fourth Macedonian War]]:

*{{cite book |last1=Helliesen |first1=Jean M. |title=Ancient Macedonia IV: Papers Read at the Fourth International Symposium held in Thessaloniki, September 21-25, 1983 |date=1986 |publisher=Institute for Balkan Studies |location=Thessaloniki |pages=307-314 |chapter=Andriscus and the Revolt of the Macedonians, 149-148 BC}}

The only copy I could determine was an offline one at the national library of Australia [https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1930219], which is obviously out of the question. (Btw, I don't know how to thank you for your additions of sources. Most of them are good ones, and the article has much greater scope for expansion when I resume work on it.) [[User:HalfdanRagnarsson|HalfdanRagnarsson]] ([[User talk:HalfdanRagnarsson|talk]]) 07:20, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
:I did wonder about that one... I have access to it, at the moment, through Hathi Trust's Emergency library service, but I don't have a way to share that. This weekend or next, it might be possible for me to go through and add appropriate references from it to the article? 
:You've been doing fantastic work on this; it is amazing comparing the article now with the state it was in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fourth_Macedonian_War&oldid=989884712 before] you started on it. [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 14:25, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

However, the Helliesen source doesn't seem to be having much more titbits than the rest, so it looks like it wasn't as much of an enhancement over the other sources as I thought (can't blame her, there isn't much to go on this war because Polybius' account is largely destroyed, as is Livy's) — I'll just finish the article with the remaining sources then (one more reason might be that many of these other sources are already citing Helliesen, which might be why the content from Helliesen is sufficiently covered by them). The other source I mentioned is also not as much as I thought; it seems to be primarily about coinage of the Macedonian client republics, and those relating to the war are already covered by this source that I used for [[Andriscus]] - [https://www.jstor.org/stable/43573445]. [[User:HalfdanRagnarsson|HalfdanRagnarsson]] ([[User talk:HalfdanRagnarsson|talk]]) 02:55, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, Helliesen wasn't really trying to write a historical account of the war, just to make two key points: (1) that "Pseudo-Philip" is a misnomer, because Andriskos never claimed to be Perseus' dead crown prince and (2) that a big part of Andriskos' following was Macedonian emigrees drawn from Attalid Asia Minor.

== Clarifying your query ==

Hi, this is to clarify your question on what I meant by Philip being a "now-obscure" son of Perseus. What I meant is that we do not know much about Philip son of Perseus, apart from the fact that Andriscus claimed to be him (well, Helliesen disputes that, but the rest agree on him being a Pseudophilippus), and that this son died three years after Perseus himself. Andriscus' assumption of the title Philip VI is given by Rubinsohn, p. 145. (though I have my doubts about whether he was right about the "VI" part; I'm not sure if they took regnal numbers - I've gone ahead and removed it). [[User:HalfdanRagnarsson|HalfdanRagnarsson]] ([[User talk:HalfdanRagnarsson|talk]]) 02:43, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
: [[User:HalfdanRagnarsson|HalfdanRagnarsson]]: Thanks for that - I read it as saying that he was obscure at the time of the Fourth Macedonian  War, which is why I was confused. I think it is worth saying that Philip the son of Perseus was dead. Yes, the use of regnal numbers is post-antique. But my point on "assuming the regnal name" is that if he was claiming to be "Philip" all along, then he didn't assume any new name at Pella. Helliesen's claim that he did is a corollary of the claim that he wasn't claiming to be crown prince Philip... [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 10:08, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
::Btw, I am interested by Helliesen's claim. Most other sources provide the straightforward assertion that he was a Pseudophilippus, and that this pretence to royalty was what he used (along with Thracian and emigre help) to come to power. What theory, if not a pretense to royalty, does Helliesen suggest, and what evidence does she point to for it? [[User:HalfdanRagnarsson|HalfdanRagnarsson]] ([[User talk:HalfdanRagnarsson|talk]]) 14:21, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
:::The only difference is that she's saying that Andriscus was claiming to be another son of Perseus by a concubine, not the crown prince Philip (who was known to be dead). So it still involved a claim to royal status on Helliesen's interpretation. [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 20:36, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

== Fly-by ratings ==

Kia ora Furius, I saw the note on your user page. I do a lot of quality rating for WPNZ and thus chances are that my efforts may have caused upset. Could you please point me to articles, regardless whether I rated them or someone else, where you feel that the rating ought to different? I'd be most happy to take (another) look.

I saw that you create Māori-related content. I haven't rated <code>maori-importance</code> in years as I feel that I am not widely-enough read to have a good handle on the various topics. I don't know whether {{u|Gadfium}} rates <code>maori-importance</code> (I do know that he does rate non-Māori content). If you'd like to get into rating itself, I could give some general guidance on the matter. I've put your page on my watchlist so if you reply, I'll see it.

: Oh, thanks for taking the time to respond to my venting! In retrospect, I agree with your ratings and they have spurred me to try to produce better articles going forward. Once I've finished producing articles on pre-European Tainui (I'm currently about halfway through), I'll be reviewing the set. At that point, I'd appreciate you taking another look at some of them - less for changing the rating and more for advice on how to improve.

Hi Furius - thanks for creating new articles on historical Māori leaders... one request, though - could you please add even an approximate date to the first couple of sentences somewhere (e.g., [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Te_Rehu&type=revision&diff=1091288300&oldid=1091240204 this])? At the moment quite a few of these articles only have a date in the category links, which makes it harder for readers to tell when these people lived! Cheers, and thanks again!

: Thanks [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]. I'm trying to do this. My problem is that only Jones & Biggs regularly give these estimates and they only do so for Tainui history. When I'm writing about Tuwharetoa stuff, the sources don't give dates as systematically, so sometimes I don't have specific refs, just the obvious inference from the fact that (e.g.) Te Rehu comes towards the end of Grace's section on "Traditional History to the End of the Seventeenth Century"... and the dates given by Jones & Biggs for people that Te Rehu is connected with (since he doesn't interact with Tainui history directly). Really, what would be best would be a Category:Before 18th Century in New Zealand or some such. [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 10:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Kia ora Furius! Thanks very much for your additions of sources to the bibliography for ''[[the bone people]]'', really appreciated.

:Kia ora! Thanks for the message. No, it's not something that I plan to do any time soon, so if you're willing to add information from them to the article, that would be great.

== Provinz Westfalen ==

Hi Furius. I've been watching your ongoing updates to the Westphalia article (thank you, especially since I'm the one who put the request for translation on the page), and I have a question / suggestion for the part of the "Reaction" section about the serfs. Since Prussia abolished serfdom in 1807 (see History of serfdom#Germany), your translation goes a bit astray there. I remember stumbling over Ablösung the first time I read the German article, and after puzzling over various translations for it, I remembered something I read (somewhere…) about German peasants gaining possession of the land they had worked in exchange for payments, also known as redemption – which is one of the translations for Ablösung.  Given that, I would translate the passage something like this:

The second major problem for unification was the question of the redemption of manorial rights by the peasants within the context of peasant liberation [with a link to "History of serfdom#Germany"]. Although a law was passed in 1820 that allowed for redemption through monetary rents, there were also numerous individual regulations and regional provisions. Redemption remained controversial until 1848 … etc.

If you think my translation makes historical sense, go ahead and make use of it.  If not, I'd suggest trying to find a subject matter expert on German peasant liberation to clarify.

== Pronouns ==

Why refer to someone as their non-preferred pronouns?? That’s literally transphobic and harmful. Also, just because this is a historic person, does not negate the fact that Elagabalus’s pronouns were she/her, she wanted to be referred to as Lady/Empress, and explicitly stated she wanted female parts. You realize LGBTQ+ people have existed throughout history, not just modern day contexts. These “historians” are just blatantly transphobic and contributing to transgender/transsexual erasure and LGBTQ+ erasure. Very strange but ok. There’s also many articles saying she was transgender and I’ll list some here: Articles: https://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/tgi-bios/elagabalus
https://www.spectrumsouth.com/transgender-lives-empress-elagabalus/

https://www.makingqueerhistory.com/articles/2017/9/24/elagabalus-the-empress?format=amp 
Lastly, the pronouns should be updated to either she/her or they/them, not he/him, because Elagabalus considered herself a woman, not a man, and it’s transphobic to call her a he. [[User:Gatorbearratica|Gatorbearratica]] ([[User talk:Gatorbearratica|talk]]) 00:11, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

== Consistency is "not helpful"; something no one ever said ==

I understand that the Ptolemaic Dynasty is a tough case but the infoboxes of Ptolemaic rulers are insanely inconsistent. Inconsistency is an unavoidable part of Wikipedia but this is just laughable. I understand that just “Pharaoh” may be suboptimal when it comes to Ptolemaic rulers but bluntly reverting my changes without suggesting alternatives is truly ''not helpful''. I’m absolutely open to suggestions. Placing “([[Ptolemaic Kingdom]])” or “([[Ptolemaic Kingdom|King/Queen]] of the [[Ptolemaic dynasty]])” in small font below Pharaoh might do it.

:@[[User:User23242343|User23242343]]. This is how the [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle]] works. I'm glad that you're open to suggestions. The issue is that the Ptolemaic kingdom was not coterminous with Egypt, so the "role" field should reflect that. In my opinion, the best option is "<nowiki>[[Basileus|King]] of the [[Ptolemaic Kingdom]]<br/>[[Pharaoh]] of [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]]</nowiki>" (currently used on Ptolemy III's page).

::I agree.

However, I agree with you that Ptolemaic pharaohs should be ‘highlighted’ in some way so I’ve taken the liberty to alter the pharaoh template and add a parameter, which I’ve used on [[Ptolemy II Philadelphus]] as a demonstration.

== Roman language ==

: Continuing our discussions here from [[Talk:Roman_Empire#Languages]] I thought I'd post it here as we're fine tuning and to not fatigue the other editors!
: This is my latest revision. Note I've changed the text on Dickey now that I've reviewed her book with a sentence that touches on her research and lightly makes the point about the "Roman Greek" that became.
: Latin and Greek were the main languages of the Empire, but the Empire was deliberately multilingual. {Note 1} Andrew Wallace-Hadrill says, "The main desire of the Roman government was to make itself understood". At the start of the Empire, knowledge of Greek was useful to pass as educated nobility and knowledge of Latin was useful for a career in the military, government, or law.  The Constitutio Antoniniana in 212 CE would have changed the dynamic of Latin speakers into a minority.  After Diocletian's reforms in the 3rd century CE, there was a decline in the knowledge of Greek in the west. Spoken Latin later fragmented into the incipient Romance languages in the 7th century CE following the collapse of the Empire’s west.
: There was never a legal requirement for Latin in the Empire, but it represented a certain status.  High standards of Latin, Latinitas, started with the advent of Latin literature.  Due to the flexible language policy of the Empire, a natural competition of language emerged that spurred Latinitas, to defend Latin against the cultural imperialism of Greek.  Over time it was used to project power and a higher social class. Different emperors up until Justinian would attempt to require the use of Latin in various sections of the administration but there is no evidence that a linguistic imperialism existed during the early Empire. 
: Latin and Greek’s mutual linguistic and cultural influence is a complex topic. Latin words incorporated into Greek were ubiquitous by the imperial era, especially for matters of military, administration, and in trade and commerce. Greek syntax, literature, poetry and philosophy influenced Latin language and culture.
: The dominance of Latin and Greek among the literate elite obscures the continuity of other spoken languages within the Empire.
:
: ''Note 1. Its been called 'bilingualism' but that's only true of the educated and so Bruno Rochette suggests it’s more appropriate as a diglossia but concedes this still does not adequately explain it, as Greek was "high" against Latins "Super-high".   Latin experienced a period of spreading from the second century BCE, and especially in the western provinces, but not as much in the eastern provinces. In the east, Greek was always the dominant language, entrenched from the long Hellenistic Age that predated the Empire''

== New sources ==

Hi! First, thanks for adding new sources. We should always try to keep up to date with recent literature if those new sources are well received: for that reason I usually wait for reviews to come out before adding anything (eg [https://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/ BMCR]). Also, if it's possible to put them into the {{tq|Further reading}} sections that would be best since that makes it clear that they are not cited in the article. ({{t|sfn}} scripts check for this actually.) [[User:Ifly6|Ifly6]] ([[User talk:Ifly6|talk]]) 20:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

:I take the point about further reading sections, which I neglected a bit in my haste, but I see no particular value to waiting for reviews. Peer review is part of the publication process  (in most cases... I've not added things from known rubbish publishers like Pen&Sword). If something gets a bad review, we can always remove it.

== Polyamblyodon gibbosum ==

Hi thank you for your edit to ''[[Polyamblyodon gibbosum]]''. I normally place the etymology of the generic name in the article about the genus. I also normally put etymology as a separate section, if not then the Taxonomy section should be renamed as “Taxonomy and etymology”. Obviously,  it’s my preference for them to be separate. [[User:Quetzal1964|Quetzal1964]] ([[User talk:Quetzal1964|talk]]) 11:00, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:Quetzal1964|Quetzal1964]]! Thanks for your work! The article is so much better than it was before you came along and I see that there are a ''lot'' of other biology articles that are better thanks to you. Given your experience, please understand that I'm speaking as an outsider looking in:
:* I agree that the etymology should be explained on the genus article, but I would suggest that it is useful to the reader to repeat it on the species article. If someone's only interested in one fish, they shouldn't have to read two articles in order to find out what the full name means. Of course, in cases where the genus etymology is complicated, it might be best to say "this is discussed elsewhere." 
:* I think very short sections that have no room for growth are generally undesirable, which is why I merged the two in this case. This is the approach used in [[Pallid sturgeon]] and [[Smooth toadfish]], which are featured articles. If the etymology was complicated, like [[gorilla]] or [[kangaroo]], then I would see the need for a dedicated section. In straightforward cases like this, I don't. I totally agree with your renaming of the section.
:So, that was my thinking in making these changes. But perhaps there are other factors that I've missed - I know a little about Greek and Latin (hence my interest in the etymology!), but biology is not my field! [[User:Furius|Furius]] ([[User talk:Furius#top|talk]]) 13:47, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

::Good evening from a misty east coast of Scotland. I have changed the section to Taxonomy and etymology.[[User:Quetzal1964|Quetzal1964]] ([[User talk:Quetzal1964|talk]]) 20:08, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

== Undefined sfn reference in East Building (Athenian Agora) ==

Hi, in [[East Building (Athenian Agora)]] you use an sfn reference "Travlos 1971, pp. 233–241". Unfortunately no such work is listed. this means that nobody can look it up, and adds the artcile to [[:Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors]].

== Possibly fictional people from Europe ==

I chose this name deliberately because "European" is ambiguous. I think it we want to avoid categorizing people by race we should avoid having European people, North American people, African people categories ever. There is no "nationality" of a continent, no nationals of North America, so I think from Europe is a way better way to describe such people. I do not care about the "whose existence is disputed" v. "Possibly fictional" because to me thry seem like the same thing, but I think you are right that "from Europe" is not the same thing as "European". I have gotten to much flack for calling an immigrant to the US from Egypt an "African American" to believe otherwise. Unless you count Elon Musk as being "African American" you are not accepting the right of all nationals of countries in a continent to be described by the cintinental heading. I think it normally helps to be more clear.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 02:11, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

:I agree, of course. I think "Asian" is ambiguous too - where I grew up (New Zealand) it meant people of East Asian extraction exclusively. Where I live now (UK) it predominantly means people of South Asian extraction. But I seem to be the only one in that discussion making that point.
:On the "whose existence is disputed" v. "possibly fictional", I agree that they are usually the same thing, but I think the first ''slightly'' better covers the case of hypothesised people (e.g. [[Antiochus Nicator]], [[Azes II]]), who aren't exactly "fictional" in the same way that say [[King Arthur]] is.
