Hola, Error, he visto las plantillas que pusiste en los artículos relativos a Jarcha, para refundirlos. Ya he expuesto en la discusión de la página que sería un error (y eso que no sabía tu nombre:-) el fundirlo en el artículo "Kharja,, part of a Moaxaja", porque la jarcha posee una identidad proia muy fuerte, y es en muchos casos generadora de la moaxaja, y no al revés. Mi propuesta es que quede como único artículo Jarcha, y que los otros te lleven a él. O bien Kharja, pero no sé porqué primar la grafía árabe frante a la occidental, si la wikipedia es inglesa. Además, para el mundo árabe la jarcha es una anécdota sin importancia y en cambio, en la Península Ibérica significa el comienzo de nuestra literatura. En cualquier caso, he ampliado la entrada Jarcha, y he incorporado el contenido de las otras dos, así que está (creo) preparada para hacer la fusión. Pero no sé cómo hacerlo, sólo llevo un par de meses en Wikipedia y no domino si hay que consultarlo, si lo tiene que hacer un bibliotecario o si simplemente se hace y ya está. Como tú propusiste la fusión, creo que es adecuado consultártelo.

Can you possibly help out with my question at Talk:Catalonia#Language? So far, the only answer I've gotten is basically that I'm a "bastard" and should "die" for conjecturing that nearly all Catalans can speak Spanish. So, do you know whether, as I was asking in the first place, there are some statistics on this? (Or if this is outside your realm, so to speak, can you suggest whom I might ask?) - Jmabel | Talk 05:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there.

Hey, I just can't find those changes I made in the entry ETA which you have deleted or reverted: where did they go?. It is kinda frustrating that those minutes I spent trying to make the entry more neutral have been wasted. I am not interested at all in posting again my changes only to see you removing them after, I have better things to do and if the ETA entry in wikipedia keeps being a biased one in favouring the Basque nationalist point of view...well, my life will be pretty much the same.

However I would like someone to warn right away in the top part of it that this entry is discussed por NPOV issues and I don't know how to do it by myself (I'm pretty much a dummy when it comes to computers). It would be nice if you did that of yourself. You can look at it this way: the entry will still call, as you wish, bombings, kidnappings and assassinations "armed struggle" by a "paramilitary organization" instead of a terrorist organization. So you will keep your point of view saved and, on the other side, if you help me by introducing that header saying that the content of the entry is disputed for NPOV reasons, I will be less frustrated.

If you are not willing to help with this, I would like -if possible- some kind of neutral guy to look into this. Again, I am kind of a dummy and I just don't know how to start a discussion about an entry.

Thanks, mate.

Looks like Mr. POV has taken some vacations from the ETA article (I surrendered first, though). Since I am afraid to awake the troll myself, would you go and mend the most obvious gaffes? I'm thinking, for example of the goal of self determination only for the southern Basque country (which is not true) and things of the like. As I say, I would do it myself and I will if you don't feel heroic enough to do this (something which I could understand) but I am just afraid that I could awake the Beast...

As you know, I removed the categories that were on Image:Kamikaze-ManchesterMSI.jpg. I did this because it was causing the image to appear on the category page, for example Category:Visitor attractions in Greater Manchester.

I think only articles should be given a category and not images, but I could not find any definite policy on this. I will not change that page again, I will leave that to your judgement. MortimerCat 02:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea to cover the parallel-language versions. The article, as you can see, is very strongly sourced. Let's keep it up.

Thanks for the heads-up on Abraham Olano. I tend to change names when there are two (or more) used on Wikipedia, and the version with the diacrit is usually the correct one! I wonder if you culd check out a couple I am not sure of: Angel Casero (es:Ángel Casero} and Miguel Indurain (sometimes spelt Miguel Induráin). All Olano's now point to the correct version. Thanks and regards, Mk3severo 09:56, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kaixo, I'm contacting you because you figure in Category:User eu, meaning that you speak some Basque. You must therefore be Basque yourself or have an intense connection with the Basque Country.

I am thinking that maybe was a good idea to create a Portal (or maybe a Wikiproject? or both?) on the Basque theme but I feel such kind of project requires more than just one person.

If you are interested, please comment in my talk page.

Could I ask you to look in at User_talk:Jmabel#ETA and say whether you'd be willing to participate? I dread the timesuck this could be, but I suspect that it is needed. - Jmabel | Talk 06:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Error. Are you sure that the singular of Vascones is Vasco and not Vascon or something like that. For what I remember from my own Latin course in High School, vascones is plural of some declination by addition of the suffix -es (like in modern Spanish for instance), not any -nes suffix. In standard Spanish at least the used singular of Vascones is always Vascon and Vasco (i.e. Basque looks a deformation, not the original).

Checking in the Latin declension article, I find atrox, atroces, agilis, agiles, celer, celeres, etc. Nowhere you find a -nes suffix added but at most -es. It could be Vascon or Vasconis but hardly Vasco, that must belong to Romance.

What's your reason to insist in Vasco as singular? --Sugaar 11:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that many third-declension Latin names do add a final "n" to their nominative forms before taking on the endings for the other cases. So origo (origin) -> origines; coniunctio -> coniunctiones. They are all words ending in o in the nominative (not us), just like Vasco, Vascones. (As far as I know, there are no nouns in Latin that end in n in the nominative.) --Smeira 04:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you sort this one out? My guess is that they mean the same thing, but that the Basque word isn't linked anywhere. I know the word txapela only as the name of a bar in Barcelona: I never even gave any thought to what the word meant. - Jmabel | Talk 07:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hola Error!

Me avisaste de la posibilidad de que las fotos que descargué desde la página del periódico 20 MINUTOS, pudieran infringir la normativa de copyright. Y de hecho, se ha eliminado la de Helena Resano y alguna otra. La verdad estoy un poco despistado. De la lectura de la autorización dada por el periódico, se deduce que es posible usar las fotos salvo que estén atribuidas a un fotógrafo concreto o a una Agencia. No era el caso. Por seguridad ¿jurídica? (y por qué no, para no perder el tiempo!), me gustaría saber si puedes aclararme cuál es el criterio a seguir (y si tu no puedes, me indiques la forma o el procedimiento para averiguarlo).

Hola, vi que has estado hablando sobre ese template en su página de discusión 1, así que quizá sepas algo sobre el tema. Iva a postear ésto en tu talk page de commons, pero me ha redirigido aquí.
La cuestión es que han borrado el template, y con él, cinco fotos antiguas que había subido, sin siquiera ponerme un mísero mensaje en mi página de discusión. ¿Sabes si lo van a volver a poner, o si hay otra opción para volver a subir fotografías antiguas tipo las que se aceptaban con este template, mediante algún otro? Saludos. Onofre Bouvila 01:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hola.

Me dices lo siguiente:

"User:Onofre Bouvila me pregunta por el borrado de la plantilla. Me parece que las fotos que querías subir eran demasiado recientes para Commons. Parece que lo que los tribunales entienden como simple era bastante limitado (en alguna parte he leido que quizá fotos aéreas, cámaras de vigilancia, radiografías médicas). No cubre las fotos de los 60 que querías poner."

No te entiendo.

Te pregunto por el borrado de la plantilla, sí.

Pero luego me dices que mis fotos eran demasiado recientes para Commons: bueno, eran más antiguas que esos 25 años que requería el template y por consiguiente no eran demasiado recientes para Commons.

Luego me dices que lo que los tribunales entienden como simple era bastante limitado. ¿Entonces el problema ya no es la antiguedad, si no la concepción de lo simple?

Y luego dices que no cubre las fotos que quería poner.

Bueno, no te entiendo demasiado, pero aquí el problema está en que han borrado la plantilla. No es que mis fotos incumplieran lo que la plantilla decía, ni que el concepto de simplicidad de los tribunales fuera ambiguo; es que directamente la plantilla no existe. Y por eso es por lo que yo preguntaba; ¿Se sabe qué se ha hecho de la plantilla? xD Onofre Bouvila 23:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm contacting you out of courtesy as you have contributed to the page and may wish to supply your own citations. If you feel this doesn't matter to you, please ignore it.

Greetings Error. Please recheck your sources regarding this article as I have a bad feeling they might be outdated. The Arnemagnæan Collection was previously located at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) but this collection was divided between Denmark and Iceland in the early 1970s. Most of the old collection is now located in Reykjavik, Iceland (The Árni Magnusson Institute [2]) and a smaller portion is kept in Copenhagen, Denmark. (Den Arnamagnæanske Samling[3]) I've no idea if the manuscripts you refer to are located in Iceland or Denmark, but the current text places the University of Copenhagen in the wrong country. Happy editing. Valentinian ^{T / C} 13:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Eusko_alkartasuna_128.gif. 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. Project FMF (talk) 19:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia.

Hi Error. Just recently someone pointed out that Basque Country (historical territory) was no apt naming. I agree with that, even though the new name we ended up with is not that exciting after all. Only now I remember about you and I think it would have been good that you said your word there.

But my question is regarding something else, not the name. It is about the flag. An anon has inserted the ikurriña as the Euskal Herria one. I know for a fact that it is used outside of the Basque Autonomous Community....my question is, which is the status of the Navarrese flag among Basque abertzales? they frown upon its sight? they kinda tolerate it? they burn it?

I think one of the worst kept secrets of Basque nationalism is that whatever historic background it could have should be found in Navarre (Kingdom of Navarre, etc) not in the back then happy-to-be-posh-Spain Vascongadas...but I would like to hear from you how the guys cope with this situation...

There are those that hold that the BAC is part of the maritime Navarre, a precedent of a greater Basque state. As such, the flag of Navarre could be used as a flag for the whole of it. It has also its use as a symbol of Navarrese pesonality in a Basque state. At the same time, the Arrano Beltza is thought by some as a more authentic symbol. (There is a song by Mikel Laboa mentioning it, check the Arrano article.)

Thank you. Since I posted my question here, the ikurriña has been moved again (something which I am ok with).

Now, this is more like a personal interest rather than a genuine wikipedia question, as such, you dont have to answer if you are busy or just dont feel like answering. The question is: ok, understood that some abertzales do use the Navarrese flag, but, how widespread would you say that usage is? is it like rather anecdotical or you get to see this flag in a convenient second or even third (but sizeable) place after the hegemonic ikurriña at abertzale meetings? Thanks again. Mountolive _{le déluge} 23:23, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know. I haven't seen many abertzale meetings recently and I think it would be different in Navarre proper. Try searching in Flickr for "abertzale" or something. --Error (talk) 20:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was a good tip to make a flickr search. Indeed I found one isolated Navarrese flag in this and that picture (or was it Occitan? not sure, as this one also appeared at some particular abertzale rally...dont ask me why) so, with this ridiculously small sample, I am guessin that one every 10 flags could be the Navarrese one, even though, as you aptly point out, it may be a higher turnout at Navarre itself. Thank you, really. Mountolive _{le déluge} 22:45, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. I've raised the issue of the origins of Captain Alatriste given some info in the back of book three that might contradict part of your contributions. Check the talk page for that article: Talk:Captain_Alatriste#Name origin-contemporary references. Look forward to hearing from you, but at your leisure. IMHO (talk) 01:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a stock message to a number of people who have contributed to the article on the ‘’book’’ series of Captain Alatriste as an FYI. I have added a character infobox to the article. If you have time, enter the edit function in article and fill in appropriate information after the = sign. Fill in only what you think applies, but please leave all fields there. If nothing comes after the = sign, then it won’t appear in the article. On the other hand, if someone DOES think the field applies, they can add pertinent info. I do understand that this is technically a series article and not a character article. I’ve added the info box because 1) the series does revolve around Alatriste in large part and 2) the box really does improve what little is on the article right now. If a character article is created, we can copy and paste over. IMHO (talk) 03:12, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Error. I found this interesting article Basque surnames and then I seem to remember that, somewhere, sometime, I read you quoting the longest Basque surname in record. I made a casual google search and it is showing Ercilurrutigastañazagogeascoa, but the sources are just blogs and else. Do you have this info, by chance?

Hola! Perdone que le moleste, lei esto en un foro:

"A info a achei o ano pasado num comentário (com data do 21/09/2006), na discussão sobre um artigo sobre "Celtic Gallaecia" na Wikipedia inglesa, escrita pelo usuário "Error":

My family actually returned to Galiza during the seventeenth century, and the oral family history says that in some very rural areas of Ourense, and the far north near Rianxeira, there were still families speaking a non-Latin tongue my "Gaelic" speaking ancestors oould understand with a little mutual patience and kindness. Also in the Picos of Europa, and some other areas of Asturias."

Es suyo el articulo? he estado buscando el comentario, por aqui, en la wikipedia inglesa sin exito alguno.

Un saludo

Celtic Gallaecia ha sido borrado recientemente. Por lo que leo en Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celtic Gallaecia, tenía varios meses pero no años. En 2006 parece que también hubo un artículo de ese nombre pero la Wayback Machine no parece tener copia de la página de debate. El artículo no lo escribí yo y el comentario citado no es mío. Puede que haya modificado alguna cosa en el artículo o la página de debate, pero no lo recuerdo.

Sobre lenguas raras en Galicia y Asturias, me parecería más probable que fuese Bron, Fala dos arxinas, Xíriga o algo así.

Interesting addition to the article. I submitted it to Featured Article Candidates awhile back, but got nebulous complaints about prose. Anyway, do you have a reference for that claim? Every notable sentence is currently referenced as is, and it is an A-Class article as it stands, so I just want to be sure to keep it that way. My recollection is that the purple = Comuneros idea comes much later in the 19th century, and that there's no evidence there was a purple flag raised at Villalar (except centuries later). Still, I'm quite willing to believe that Castilian Republicans would have added purple for that connotation. SnowFire (talk) 22:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You seem to have been editting for six years, but nobody has told you the most basic rules yet, so here they are:

• Look at the article to see how it is laid out. The Table of Contents is the best place to start.
• Read the article to see if what you want you want to add or remove is appropriate, necessary, or adds value.
• Search for the right place to put it.
• Check Use the "Show Preview" to make sure that what you have done is appropriate and correct.
• Be aware

that an addition inserted between two sentences or paragraphs that are linked in meaning can turn the existent paragraphs into nonsense.

that a lengthy addition or the creation of a new sub-section can add inappropriate weight to just one aspect of a topic.

Your addition to Islamic influences on Western art added a whole, new Major heading just to make the point that Islamic carpets were used in Transylvania. You gave it the heading Transylvania which is completely out of context with all the other headings in the Table of Contents. The only country that has a heading is Spain. Why is this? Because much of Spain was under Islamic rule during the period covered in this article, and therefore Islamic art prevailed in that European country.

If you were a new editor, I'd fix this by incorporating your edits, but since you are not, I am going to leave it to you to find the right location for you valuable info in the article.

Here is the material: Transylvania Rich Protestant Transylvanian Saxon merchants traded with the Ottoman Empire and often donated Anatolian rugs to their churches as a vertical decoration more according to their iconoclastic beliefs than the images of the saints used by the Catholics and the Orthodox. Churches like the Black Church of Brasov still hold collections of rugs.
