Medieval cuisine

Hi Peter, I am so glad to meet you and receive your message in my talk page. The article medieval cuisine is such a good article that i decided to translate it in the first sight :) Thank you and anyone else who has contributed to this article. The only problem is that i can't cope with links since we don't have 1.815.000 article ^_^ I have to create a lot of new stubs too xD Well, Let me know if you need help from Turkish Misplaced Pages, or whatever. I am active day and night as long as i am not at school. Greetings from Turkey, ad Turkish wikipedia.

P.S. By the way, how can we make it FA in Hebrew Misplaced Pages as well? :D It look very good and references are enough, I am sure they will give featured status to that article. (I am trying to make turkish verison a FA) But my problem is that I don't understand Hebrew... Even a letter of it =) It would be cool having it Featured in 6 languages.. English, africaans, chinese, possibly swedish, turkish and hebrew :)

Unfortunately someone stuck a modern food pyramid in the Hebrew article, which I was not particularly happy about. I tried addressing it on the talkpage, but no one seemed to appreciate the criticism. I don't know Hebrew either, so I can't do much about it.

The Swedish article has been nominated and has gotten plenty of support, so it should be promoted by next week. That means we're up to 4 already. There's something about the topic that is really appealing to readers, I think.

Comics

Just noticed your comments over at the comics page. You made a lot of good points. I know we fell out before, but if I put some work into the article at some point over the next week or two, would you be prepared to chip in with thoughts on any progress and stuff? I noticed the wiki-break template, so if you haven't got the time, fair play. Steve block Talk 11:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll be back in action by the start of next week, so go ahead and start anytime you like. It'd be nice to see the article brought up to GA status (or higher).

Peter 13:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Cheers. I'd like to aim higher if possible. Steve block Talk 19:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

WP:CIVILITY

I have warned you about civility elsewhere, now I am giving a warning on your talk page. Please treat other people's opinion with at least a minimum of respect.

Telling other editors to stop "Butting in" is very rude and a violation of WP:OWN, they are not your articles to tell people to stay away from.

Blanking ongoing(within an hour of most recent response) talk page discussions that you don't like with the edit summary of "archived waste-of-time discussion" is very rude and downright dismissive of the opinions of others.

Just recently you made this post: "Getting a fucking pat on the head at the end of it all isn't exactly a good way of smoothing things over".

Every time I have any criticism of this type of behavior you get even more upset and rude, and you attack me by bringing up very old content disputes I have been in that are not even behaviorally related.

Please get along better with other Peter, if you want a place to write articles where others cannot edit, get a word processor. 15:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

You and the users who think that persistence is the equal of reasoning (which you think you're valiantly defending with your partial nonsense) is the problem here. Nothing else.

DYK

On 7 June, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Inca cuisine, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

MedCab

Hey, Pete! I'm mediating your case at MedCab. H has agreed to join, and said he thinks it's great if the dispute could be resolved through mediation. However, I'm going to request if you would provide us with some specific diffs and a briefer statement, that's more to the point, with only specific incidents listed, that'd be better. Please list this in the "Incident summary" section. Thanks! Cool Blue 01:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I've added some questions to the mediation. I'd appreciate it if you'd answer them, but these probably won't be the only questions. Cool Blue 17:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Possible compromise

I've drafted a possible compromise at Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-06-14 H. Cool Blue 19:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you'd look over the new revision, thanks! Cool Blue 01:44, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Inca Cuisine

I think that your name is Peter, so Hello Peter; some weeks ago you posted that you would like to work about the "Inca cuisine" article. I really don't know if this could be fusioned within the Peruvian cuisine. However, the Inca and the pre-Inca cuisine, it seems to me that they deserve their own article or a least a big section; anyway, I would like to collaborate together to bring about a strong content in relation to this subjects. Let me know what do you think. John Manuel-22:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Peruvian and Inca cuisine are certainly very closely related, but they're not the same. I'd be happy to collaborate on improving the article, but I recommend that we discuss this further over at Talk:Inca cuisine.

Peter 11:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Fine, agree upon your request. see you there. John Manuel-22:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Right on!

Good ! Finally! Bishonen | talk 09:18, 30 June 2007 (UTC).

Hellz yeah! It didn't escape a few complaints, though. Let's hope it sticks this time. It'll make it so much easier to convince people to remove all those tourist phrases. Hvar er salernið?, indeed...

Peter 09:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

They could at least make it "Where is the hot spring?" ! Bishonen | talk 10:27, 30 June 2007 (UTC).

Wikistalking

You didn't like my revert of your edit to Pike and Shot, so you ran around the wiki looking for things of mine to disrupt? Wikistalking is a frowned-upon activity. Too bad you're not taking H's good advice. Larry Dunn 00:50, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I checked some of your work out. So far I've made edits to two articles you have been involved with and pointed out some rather obvious copyright violations over at Commons. If you want to call that Wikistalking, you're welcome to report it, but I doubt you'll get much sympathy. H called me protective, but I certainly don't auto-revert straightforward copyedits and layout fixes because of sheer paranoia.

Peter 01:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

French cuisine

I'd like to have you look at the Medieval age section of the article if you have time as well as the rest. I respect your opinion. I was going to put it up for FA, but I am not happy with a couple sections that do not have citations that are prior to my edits. Thanks, hope you are well.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 02:45, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the edits.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 11:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Vasa (ship)

From a recent edit summary: removed confusing Tangeberg reference padding; the section is based on Soop and fully referencable through that source. Well, fair enough. But I don't think Vasa (ship) is as well referenced as it should be. Could you perhaps add more inline references, pointing out which portions of the Soop work are the basis for the claims in that section? There is only one reference, plus a generic Soop source ref in that whole section, which is a bit on the thin side.

The referencing in the rest of the article could also be improved, with a lot of unsourced claims and only a few generic book references. I'm trying to gradually improve it, but any help would be appreciated. :) Henrik 21:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

You're right about many sections of the articles needing more citations, but I'd just like to stress that the ornamentation section is fairly intuitively referenced with Soop in its current state. Apart from the paragraph that includes all the quotes and analysis of artists' styles, the facts mentioned are very easy to find in the book without specific page references. I'd like to stress that the current section is somewhat of a quick fix; I intend to switch to one of Soop's works in English as soon as I've had a chance to look them over. In the mean time, I felt that a general reference with a bit more detail for the more specific (and potentially subjective) statements was better than barely no info at all.

As far as my plans for the article, I think it has a lot of potential for a truly fine article. Even if I didn't agree with this particular edit of yours, I can assure you that your help is greatly appreciated and I think you've done a lot of good edits so far. Keep it up and we might just get the article to FA status before the end of the summer. I believe we should limit further discussion about the article to Talk:Vasa (ship), though. Post any future queries, suggestions or criticisms that you might have there.

Peter 22:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I don't have local access to that source, but your reasoning makes sense. Aiming for a FA in a few months would be excellent (Said with my best Monty Burns voice), there is certainly enough material for it. As you have (obviously) experience in bringing articles to FA class, I'd be glad to listen to your advice on how to proceed. Your point is well taken, I'll keep further discussions regarding the article on the talk page. Henrik 23:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Zhou Tong (archer)

You left comments on my article's FAC page. I have made some changes and would like to invite you back to read the page once more. If you feel it is FA quality, please feel free to support the article.(Ghostexorcist 05:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC))

Royal Navy History

Thanks for the info on the victualling, i will add it into the article soon, once the merger is complete. Next time could you please sign your talk page posts, it makes it easier for me to thank you! ;) Woodym555 18:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

A bit to quick on the draw there... I can really recommend that title, btw. Interesting topic and the book is well-written and outright witty at times.

Peter 18:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

A small request

Hi Peter!

First of all, I'm not sure whether this is the preferred way of communication on Misplaced Pages, I'm a fairly new user.

I write to you because I've listened to your spoken audio file for Leo Tolstoy, and was wondering if you could please do another one for the novel The Brothers Karamazov.

If you don't have the time to do that, or any other reason, I'd still appreciate if you could tell me which syllable to stress in "Karamazov". I plan on reading the book and don't want to pronounce the name all wrong all the time in my head. :-)

Thank you for your time!

Greetings, busfahrer

Estophobia vs Russophobia

Hi, Peter! You votedfor deletion of the article Estophobia. Are not the same arguments applicable to Russophobia?--Mbuk 06:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Response: Life isn't a video game

I'm sure you meant no harm by doing it, but please don't add categories like Category:Super Smash Bros. items to articles like food or baseball bat. Categories should be properly relevant to an article, and sorting articles about common, everyday topics under extremely specific categories isn't the way to organize an encyclopedia.

Peter 20:33, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Those items are in the game, but your right, I'll remove those catagories.→041744 20:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
