Thank you for creating such an interesting article Whitechapel Mount John B123 (talk) 17:50, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Missing cite in Joel Gascoyne

The article cites "Ravenscroft 1972b, p. 6." but no such source is listed in the bibliography. Can you please add? Or is it a typo and should be "Ravenhill 1972b"? If that's the case, I also noted that the page number for other "Ravenhill 1972b" citations in the 60s, this one is just 6 -- possibly a digit missing? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Svick/HarvErrors.js]] to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata (talk) 05:22, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Erith

Hi, I'm not sure what your issue was with my edits to Erith? I simply made some minor edits to more encyclopaedic language, don't think I added or removed any content. Jdcooper (talk) 16:12, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced content

I'd refer you to the response I gave to your compatriot earlier today. If you can't include a citation, you shouldn't add new entries. You may have noticed that I went to the trouble of adding citations to some of that other user's entries, but I can't do that all the time for every new entry. I will remove new and existing entries that are lacking in international notability and don't meet the guidelines. Are you aware of the existence of Year in Topic articles, such as "Year in Portugal" and "Year in music"? It's better to check these first before adding new entries to the main Year article. The guideline saying that all entries in individual Day or Year articles have to have citations came in during 2018 so there are still a lot of old entries that don't have citations and a group of editors are doing their best to rectify this situation. You are welcome to help with that. It would also be good to start the missing "Year in Portugal" articles. There are lots missing from the 19th century - for example, 1839 in Portugal, 1856 in Portugal. Deb (talk) 17:48, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

English turns of phrase in Spanish-translated articles

Hi!

I noticed you reverted a few edits of mine claiming that there was nuance lost in modifying language to something more normally used English. In both cases, I think the turns of phrase and idiomatic expressions I included are more appropriate than the ones you reverted back to. This isn't about content so much as it is about English that is stylistically readable.

Reversal of my edit in Slavery

Hi. I was just wondering why my edit removing a secomd section called 'Contemporary slavery' in Slavery was reverted. I was not trying to "censor" anything - there was a well-developed, more detailed section before it. The section was also copied from History of slavery, where it fits much better and is not needlessly duplicated. I am not trying to start an argument, I am simply looking for an explanation. Wuju Daisuki (talk) 23:08, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Cave of Dogs reference

Thanks for pointing out Fig 5 to me. I could not find that reference with a text search (and I am the one who added that citation in the first place). I am still trying to figure out how to let other future editors know about it. We can't expect them to read through the history and find your edit summary.

Proper noun?

In this revert you assert "Proper noun". But books pretty uniformly use lowercase in "the siege of Humaitá". So I put it back to lowercase, per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS. Dicklyon (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

War photography edit and deletion by you

As suggested I have gone onto the talk page and asked for some concensus regarding my addition, your deletion and your accusation of Spam. I attempted to bev very transparent about the origins of the book and even included a review in the citations. The external links were all to the contributors to the works who currently do not have wiki pages. In the coming months, I intend to correct that as each has made a major contribution to war photography. Given the time required for each to gather relevant citations and references, I doubt they will be created overnight.

Hello!

Hello @Ttocserp, how are you? I recently started work on an article about the Brazilian blockade of the River Plate during the Cisplatine War. I gathered some good sources and started writing. I wonder if you wouldn't happen to be interested in helping me with this article. I think you might like the subject. If you can't or aren't interested, no problem!

Gaucho

Official publication of the Embassy of the Republic of Paraguay:

Día del folklore paraguayo

El Folklore paraguayo es fruto del sincretismo de las tradiciones, creencias y costumbres de origen criollo-guaraní-gaucho. Es un símbolo del Paraguay y su cultura y por eso, este 22 de agosto se celebra el día del folklore paraguayo. [Paraguayan Folklore is the result of the syncretism of traditions, beliefs and customs of Creole-Guarani-Gaucho origin. It is a symbol of Paraguay and its culture and for that reason, this August 22 is celebrated the day of Paraguayan folklore.][1]

Book: Descripcion é historia del Paraguay y del Rio de la Plata, by Félix de Azara:

"Además de los dichos hay por aquellos campos, principalmente por los de Montevideo y Maldonado, otra casta de gente llamados más pro- piamente gauchos ó gauderios". [In addition to the aforementioned, there are in those fields, mainly in Montevideo and Maldonado, another caste of people more commonly called gauchos or gauderios.][2]

Newspaper ABC Color: Paraguay revive su identidad gaucha en festejos de Santiago de Misiones. [Paraguay revives its gaucho identity in the celebrations of Santiago de Misiones.][3] Guarandu (talk) 00:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

The first source is appropriate. Please remember to give the complete citation, not just the bare url, which soon decays, see Wikipedia:Link rot.

The second source does not begin to establish it. It just says there are gauchos in Uruguay. Nowhere does Azara, a fine author, mention gauchos in his Paraguayan travels.

The third source, ABC Color, is not very reliable. The first is enough. Ttocserp 00:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Arros del senyoret

Hello @Ttocserp, how are you? I was surprised by the reversal of my contribution, within the variants of paella, of senyoret rice. I have included a reference to a renowned centenary newspaper from the original city of paella, and the information added is what the source says. Señoret (little gentleman in valencian lenguage) rice is a seafood paella in which you don't have to get your hands dirty peeling the seafood because it is already peeled. That's where the name comes from: the work is already done. The reference explains it this way, and I have translated it in my own words. What is the problem? Thank you Spanish Heritage (talk) 22:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Gracias por su repuesta, y aprecio que Vd. sinceramente quiso mejorar el artículo. Sin embargo, está un poco afuera del tema del artículo (que ya nos tiene harto de arroces que francamente no son la paella) y el inglés no está perfecto ("what means rice" no es aceptable; Vd. quiso decir "which means".) Si lo hace más incisivo (y corto) y corrige el lenguaje no creo que habrá problema.Ttocserp 08:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I want to add that if, like me, you are a true lover of the rice dishes of Levantine Spain, you may wish to collaborate with me in writing an article. We could do parallel versions on English and Spanish Wikipedia. It would have to be impeccably sourced, however.Ttocserp 09:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I love rice dishes of Levantine Spain, but I am quite new in Wikipedia and I lack skills in editing, so I only add references and correct some visible errors. My intention is to collaborate here on articles that have to do with Spain. If I can be of help in that area of ​​knowledge on the English Wikipedia, I would be delighted. Spanish Heritage (talk) 12:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

De nada. Conozco bien el mundo de los arroces. Cuando entré en el artículo vi que ponía "Cita requerida" en el Arros del Senyoret, muy común en la zona de Levante, y añadí la referencia y su significado. Intentaré mejorarlo. El Senyoret es uno de los arroces hechos en paella más populares. Intentaré seguir sus consejos. De hecho, he visto que ya hay una explicación sobre este tipo de arroz en el propio artículo, un poco más abajo, y puede que no sea necesario explicarlo ahí, solo poner la referencia. Siento el error sintáctico, lo hice algo rápido. Muchas gracias por su respuesta. Spanish Heritage (talk) 12:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Roman slavery

Again, I'm sorry I upset you. You are also welcome to look at an article I've been sandboxing for months on Manumission in ancient Rome. The ambiguities of Junian Latin status pertain to the question of "slaves" owning slaves. It's a very complicated topic, and I had to set it aside for a while so I could hope to come back and try to make sense of it for readers from a more outside perspective. The draft will show me shouting questions at myself that I haven't been able to resolve amongst the sources, so that's why I haven't posted the article yet.
