Natural Burial AfD nomination

I have made a number of improvements to the Mike Salisbury article based upon your comments, unfortunately it has since been recommended for deletion. Would you please review my comments and weigh in on the issue. I have not had the chance to reply to all of the Natural Burial articles that have been tagged for deletion but will do so shortly. I am a little concerned that some have labelled these articles as a walled garden perhaps because of the focused topic, however other than the subject matter (natural burial) the articles are completely unrelated. As works in progress these articles require additional research and referencing however I believe they make a reasonable contribution to the encyclopaedia. I hope you will support my attempt to keep these articles alive. Eulogy4Afriend 15:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey Yannismarou, thank you for the comments on the Armenian Revolutionary Federation article. I completed all your suggestions and I think it looks pretty good right now. Do you think it is ready for a FAC? If you've got a new batch of comments to further improve the article, by all means please add. Thanks again ;) - Fedayee 05:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for those comments. Not much else is left to be done in my opinion. -- Davo88 05:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Peer review/Leonard Orban

Very detailed, helpful and stimulating review. Thanks for your time. I will follow -I think- all your suggestions as soon as possible. Some of the repetitions you mention came from my effort to comply with WP:SS. The balance is of course difficult. Personal life and earlier carrier, as well as his wider political views (on EU-US relations etc), are really difficult to expand. Before he became a Commissioner he wasn't really prominent even in his own country and, as I do not speak Romanian, I have to rely only on English language sources. I asked for help from Romanian wikipedians but with no result. On "Your first 3 paragraphs in "Career" have no citations. Try to have, at least, one citation for each paragraph.", well, the citation is in the end of the 4th paragraph and I put it there because it the source for all the 4 paragraphs. I don't know what is best: to put it in the beginning of the section or to use the multiple citation template to put it at the end of its paragraph? Thanks again! --Michkalas 14:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I would like to ask you for an advice. I have read your ten tips to FA and I found some very interesting remarks there. Well, in the article on Orban I still have to rephrase and organise better "Views on multilingualism", then I will copy-edit the whole article and check again the factes, references etc, and I will finally submit it to the League of Copyeditors, as you suggested. These may take a couple of days. I was wondering what would you suggest me to do afterwards: another peer review or nominate it for GA status? In fact, I don't know what I could do additionally to nominate the article even for FAC, but I suppose this is too daring, even if I am prepared to work following the reviewers' comments. Hoping not to make you waste your time, --Michkalas 18:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I have made most of the changes you suggested: fixing grammar, shortening some long sentences, avoiding repetitions, merging paragraphs, creating section "Early years and personal life", reducing direct quotes, and avoiding too many wikilinks (I am not sure I did that enough). In fact, I have rewritten some parts of the article. As to the quotes, I preferred not to use <blockquote> or boxes like in El Greco, as these, I believe, give too much emphasis on a single sentence, but in the case of Orban a quote that important doesn't seem to exist. On his general political views I haven't found anything important besides that I have already included. Maybe when his official site is launched, there will be more information. I have asked SandyGeorgia for a review. So, thanks again for the review and for your valuable advice on how to proceed with the article. --Michkalas 16:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Yanni, SandyGeorgia hasn't made a review yet nor he has answered somehow that he will make one. Should I ask someone else or the League of Copyeditors or just wait? --Michkalas 22:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Leonard Orban

Yanni, sorry to leaving a message again for the same subject, but I saw from your "user contributions" that you were online these days and maybe you have missed my message. So, it is 4 days now and no answer or action whatsoever from SandyGeorgia, though he is otherwise quite active in the Wikipedia. Should I tell him again to take a look at the article or should I go for the League of Copyeditors? I hope my message is not an unnecessary or tiring duplication. Regards, --Michkalas 18:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Law page

hello Reswik, could you do me a big favour and find a book on the sociology of law, and then write a bit about it in that section you added onto the law page? The article's being reviewed right now (link in the law page) and I previously haven't bothered to put anything in, because I'm unfamiliar with the concept, and the article on sociology of law is pretty unhelpful. I'd really appreciate it! Wikidea 20:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. OK. In the next day or two, I'll add a few sentences or a paragraph of substantance to the new section (and foot note or two or three...) and perhaps a bit more to the Sociology of law stub. Although, there is already some substance in the last Law section on institutions -- a more explicit transition could perhaps be made between the last two main sections. Btw, nice article :) --Reswik 20:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I added some things in the sociology of law. Thanks for the copy-edit. Maybe, you could do a bit more of it throughout the article! One of the major criticisms to the article is that its tone is quite informal, and I basically agree. But I am not a native English speaker, and I do not trust completely my prose skills. So, any assistance would be welcome. Thanks in advance!--Yannismarou 20:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yannismarou. I am very glad you worked on the sociology of law sub-section. :) OK, during this next week, I'll look at the article in terms of copyediting (and also in terms of checking somewhat that social scientific kinds of terms and concepts are consistent across the article). I hope next week is soon enough. Right now, related to the article, my priority is to put some material in the sociology of law article, and then summarize a bit of that for the law article. I haven't made it yet to my library (a distance away); I intend to go on Monday. But, I do have some references to work with (as I'm familiar with some aspects of political sociology). So, it may take a few days for me to work on the whole article. Related to this: I am wondering if and how to mention explicitly anthropology, criminology, and/or political science regarding law -- I personally am not familiar with those fields. Perhaps a general mention could be made of those fields? Reswik 21:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Hm! Nice question! You mean mentioning anthropology, criminology, and/or political science in the law article or mentioning law in anthropology, criminology, and/or political science? If you mean the first, I'm not sure, but what is sure is that we must nor over-expand the article. I'm happy you work on the sociology of law article; it really needs improvement. As far as the "sociology of law" section in the law article, I think it is already quite fine. My main concern now with law is prose. Cheers!--Yannismarou 21:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, since the article is long already, I guess just a mention in the intro or somewhere in article is enough for other fields then. I copyedited the first two sections this afternoon, doing a fair bit of work on the intro. And I switched the order of two of the article sections. I believe all of those changes improved the article. What do you think? The intro still needed more work which I think I noted. Since Wikidea saw fit to revert my copyedits of the intro back to the previous version of the intro and to revert the section order and and delete the etymology section, so as not to waste effort, I will refrain from further copyedits for a few days. In relation to this topic, I'll focus on adding some content the sociology of law article. Btw, I have 20 years experience in editing and publishing in various contexts and have, what usually is regarded as a good eye for the organization of a piece of writing. Not sure if and how to proceed with copyedits. --Reswik 00:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yannis, thanks for all the great work on the page, especially the references. I'm going to revert some of your changes, but I really appreciate the effort you're putting in!

• First, I'm afraid Brittanica is WRONG with its definition of law - law isn't always binding; public international law isn't; it also says that the people need to accept law as binding, which is wrong as well if you're a positivist. Unfortunately, if one takes jurisprudence seriously, this is why we have so much debate in the philosophy of law; I'm putting back the composite definition - but I see the criticism in the intro's complexity from Theonlyedge. Can you suggest anything else?
• Second, I'm not sure about the etymology and definition's section; I like Rousseau too; but he's a natural lawyer, and as you see he's saying "an unjust law is not a law" or lex injusta non est lex, as the very old saying goes; now this is bitterly contested by all the positivists since Bentham. The definition of law is the philosophy of law (or analytical jurisprudence). I know this is going to seem boring and obtuse, but it's important. If one doesn't try to deal with definitions, then the etymology looks a bit small for its own section.
• Third, I'm just making a few of the photos smaller, and don't you think the opening photo looks better if bigger?
• Fourth, I wanted the criminal law case, Dudley and Stephens in there as an example of how a case might spin out; it brings the section more to life by illustrating what can happen. I was going to put one into the trusts section too, because you raised it before.
• Lastly, I'm just putting the above onto the FAC talk page.

WPBiography

Since Wikiproject:Biography has been a little rudderless in the last few weeks, I've been trying to step up and help where I can. I really think the project needs to have a collaboration council or coordinating committee or something along those lines so it doesn't depend too much on one person. But before taking any drastic action :) I wanted to get a good discussion going with as many participants as possible, so I've started one on the project talk page. Given your long and tireless contributions, I'd very much like to hear your opinion in the discussion. Mocko13 02:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yanni, thanks for the congrats. I see that you are helping Manuel Kommenos to keep it's FA status and I was thought I might be of some assistance. One of the sources is John Julius Norwhich's book about the history of Byzantine Empire, he also wrote a book about the Kingdom of Sicily and the Normans in Italy. Seeing as the article includes stuff about the Norman raids on Greece, I thought that that book might help. Bye for now. Kyriakos 08:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Peer review request: Nigel Kneale

Hello. I know you're probably snowed under requests, as you seem to be one of the "go to guys", as the Americans might say, for this sort of thing, but I was wondering whether, if you happened to get the time, you could possibly give Nigel Kneale a proofread? I currently have it up for peer review, and I'm really keen to try and push this one as an FAC, if the review goes well. I realise the article probably isnt really in your area of interest though, so I understand if you'd rather not. Anyway, thanks for your time. Angmering 17:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yannismarou, I hope all is well and once again thanks for the helpful peer review comments on Christ Illusion. I wish to submit the article for FAC very soon, and was hoping you could give it the once over to make sure there are no visible problems within the article. If you're too busy, then that's fine - anything you can say regarding the article is fine, whether it be critical or an appraisal. Thanks! I'm buzzing others from the peer review with this same message also, so didn't think you wanted to feel left out. :) LuciferMorgan 22:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Would you like to offer your input in Talk:Sparta? A disruptive editor, who has never shown prior interest on the article, has been rv-warring over referenced information that he simply doesn't agree with. He only participated in Talk after I urged him to, though this never stopped his edit-warring. I assumed good faith and spent my time on trying to reason with him, but seeing how his argumenation and beliefs change by the minute, I'm getting tired. His latest activity involves blanking out entire sections of referenced information, and mixing around the ref tags according to his personal preference[1]. This is near the border of simple vandalism. Miskin 13:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I have set some rules for Greece. So the next night then I will run the bot I will see the results (hopefully). When the search result would look useable, I will paste the result file to the board.

Please review the rules: User:AlexNewArtBot/Greece. The main challenge is the prominence of Greek culture that may lead to high numbers of false positive. We do not want to report all the mathematical articles with Greek letters, or all "Spartan Gyms", etc. Lets experiment until we would get something useful. E.g. with the Greek letterings, I decided that one Greek letter is mathematics, three in a row is a fraternity but four or more in a row is something Greek. Still I lowered the points score for the rule to four instead of default ten and inhibited it with words like motto. Alex Bakharev 00:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

"I don't care what other articles say"

replying to your post on my talk page: Well, since I believe you are an editor, you should care that what you wrote on 11 September in the Lysicles article is inaccurate: "According to Aeschines Socraticus, Lysicles married Aspasia after Pericles's death". Perhaps you should correct it now.

In the Aspasia article there is a note

β. ^ According to Debra Nails, Professor of philosophy at Michigan State University, if Aspasia was not a free woman, the decree to legitimize her son with Pericles and the later marriage to Lysicles would almost certainly have been impossible

This implies there was a marriage. Tony 23:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Tony

Improper Use of Admin Privileges

You became involved in a dispute over the use of the word superpower to describe Sparta. You thought it was proper, I thought it was not. When consensus could not be reached, you used your Admin privileges, blocked me from editing, unprotected the page, inserted a version proposed by NikoSiver (who you were in agreement with but whose views were opposed by those thinking the use of the word superpower improper). Isn't this a misuse of Admin privileges? NN 19:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

As a neutral admin, I was looking through Nayan Nev's edit history, and it seems that your block may not have been appropriate. I certainly did not see any WP:POINT. Is it possible that you being Greek may have influenced your judgment? Or did I miss something, in this case please let me know. On a side note, being an admin also includes being human, and hence making occasional errors. That has happened to me, too. Please take a night of sleep, read some comments on the WP:ANI, look at this block again, and then decide if you still support the block or not. Many thanks and best wishes -- Chris 73 | Talk 00:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly with Chris73. This was a wildly inappropriate block, as you were in a content dispute with NN.

AniMate 02:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
