Misplaced Pages

Congrats

On the promotion.

In other news, I replied to your question on the talk page for Gonfalonier of the Church. It seemed the most appropriate place to reply to good questions. If you have any issues with being quoted there, just remove or edit that bit, but please leave the general tone of my reply in case one of the other four people who ever visit it are interested. -LlywelynII (talk) 13:53, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Properties of the Holy See

Hi, concerning your edits in Properties of the Holy See: I changed the intro, since it does not reflect the status of these properties correctly. 1. They are not part of the territory of the Vatican City State, but continue to be part of Italian territory. 2. However, they are treated similar to embassies, thus they are enjoying the privilege of extraterritoriality.

Article 15 of the Lateran Treaty explicitly states: although such edifices form part of the territory belonging to the Italian State, shall enjoy the immunity granted by International Law to the headquarters of the diplomatic agents of foreign States.

I changed the wording of the intro accordingly. Gugganij (talk) 09:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks very much your message.

Actually, no contemporary catalogs of the participants of the papal elections in 12th century exist. The catalogs presented on Miranda's website are taken from the very old work of Alphonsus Ciacconius Vitae et res gestae Pontificum Romanorum et S. R. E. Cardinalium, first edited in 1601...

Family tree query

Hi, as you seem to be quite good with the family tree template, and I trying to get a quick reply, do you know what the opposite of the "T" symbol is? Also, I'm not really doing any trees on Misplaced Pages, but what lines would you use for engagements? |Randomno| 17:06, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

By the engagement, I mean relationship. By the way, are you active? |Randomno| 15:43, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Wasn't for a while but am now. Stalwart111 (talk) 02:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I think there is something funny going on with the link (have changed it above). Thanks for letting me know. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 03:57, 5 September 2012 (UTC).

Adding categories regarding the sexual orientation of a living person

This is covered by WP:BLPCAT, which says "Categories regarding religious beliefs or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources." If you have seen any that violate our BLP policy, please help by removing them. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 12:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

I have responded on your talk page. Stalwart111 (talk) 00:07, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Replied there. I see you understand this, it was another editor adding this cat to a BLP which brought me to the user's talk page where I saw you and the other editor discussing the category. But I see that it's mainly non-living people who are the issue. Dougweller (talk) 04:51, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

No worries mate - have responded at Pgarret's talk page. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 05:41, 11 September 2012 (UTC).

Please accept my recognition of your patience and soft touch in dealing with this discussion. You have kept your cool long after most would blow a gasket. Thanks for handling this in such a great spirit. Argos'Dad 15:20, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

2-4-8 Tax Blend

Might I suggest that it is time to walk away from this debate and let the admins sort it out? Clearly, the author of this article is unwilling to accept the relevant Misplaced Pages policies. Hopefully, the admin who eventually reviews the AFD will have a better grasp of matters. Any further commentary at the AFD just serves to provoke more blathering from the author.

Re: Barnstar

And thank you for helping to revert that gosh-darned vandalism and bringing additional attention to it at ANI. All I could was shake my head in confusion as I parsing through that editor's contribution history... I, Jethrobot (note: not a bot!) 06:56, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Lock On (street art)

Actually, sources are not required to be in English whatsoever, per WP:GNG, "Sources are not required to be available online, and they are not required to be in English." Topics can have entirely non-English language sources and still pass the General notability guideline. Northamerica1000 17:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely right mate - responded there. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 23:46, 28 September 2012 (UTC).

Disambiguation link notification for October 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lock On (street art), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Urban and Weld (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re:COI issues

Hey, it looks like we're pretty close to establishing a consensus on the AfD discussion for tanka prose. I have one concern, though, remaining. The user in question, and the other member of his tag team, also have a history of adding references to the obscure/non-reliable sources to the articles Haibun and Tanka in English (while it was still part of Tanka). I am still a little concerned that even if the "tanka prose" article is deleted, they will continue to post links to (basically advertisements for) those websites. The other user has the same Misplaced Pages username as the Blogspot and Twitter handles of one of the self-publishers/Woodward-collaborators in question (I found that out while checking the sources for the current AfD discussion). The user involved in the current debate also has cited the same extremely obscure, difficult-to-find source (Miner's 1986 translation of Konishi's 1953 History of Japanese Literature) as Woodward's Anthology. The article when it initially appeared in August 2008 cited the Anthology, despite the latter still being over two weeks from publication. I think this whole thing has been a very elaborate and long-running advertising plan by Woodward or someone very close to him. Do you think it is possible to get some administrators' help in preventing this self-promotion from continuing? My concern is that the Pokémon principle allows unverifiable information that only appears in primary sources to be included within other articles(List of Pokémon), even if they can't have their own articles. elvenscout742 (talk) 12:56, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Have responded here. Stalwart111 (talk) 00:23, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! Although I may not have been clear: they have already posted spammy lists of links and "references" to those other articles, so action on my part would not be a "first strike" per se. Is it safe to just delete the links, and see what happens? Or do I still have to Misplaced Pages:Assume Good Faith even though it's so obvious what their agenda is? I meant that do you think I have a reasonable case, just in case they complain about me removing their advertisements? Sorry to ask so many obvious questions. I'm not "new" to Misplaced Pages, technically, but this is the first significant dispute I've had in 7 years, and the first time I've been significantly active on Misplaced Pages in 4 years, so I'm a little out of practice. elvenscout742 (talk) 00:55, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

the SPA sock-puppetry

this is realy rediculous, I wrote the german entry about the PFS. I´m am not a new member to wikipedia and I always use the same IP and username. Prove this. Prove it even on the German site and remove this from my talk. There are tousands of PFS guys who are realy pissed off and thats why so many people write there. --Brainbug666 (talk) 23:51, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
