Thanks for your comment. I have seen varying accounts of the makeup of inquisitors. I recently saw an account which stated that by a certain time most inquisitors were laymen. It might be erroneous. I think in an article as controversial as the Spanish Inquisition, factual assertions should be carefully cited to a reliable source. There are those who insist upon including facts which modern scholars know to be erroneous. Whether the makeup of inquisitors was mostly lay clergy, from orders such as Dominicans or mere laymen, the fact should be sourced. The makeup of the inquisitors may very well have changed over the institution's long history. There are still some real problems with this article that need correcting. For example, one editor keeps insisting on including death tolls which modern scholars recognize as being wildly innaccurate. Mamalujo 16:49, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Daniel. New wikipedia user here. You have read my article Rise of nationalism in Europe which was proposed for deletion and you voted to keep it. For this I thank you. Please tell me your honest opinion about this article and how it could be improved etc. Thank You. TerritorialWaters 17:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Just in case you're still looking, this discussion is on the talk page of the Louis XIV of France article, under the section 'name of article'.Eyedubya 13:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am looking to see if I can use wikifunctions.dll. To start with, I only want to use to find an article in plain text, to test a few things. Could you recommend a helpfile for wikifunctions? Or a better tool for this? AWB might not really be what I am looking for. DanielDemaret 10:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
We've got no external docs on WikiFunctons, partially because we continue to change it rapidly. The code itself is commented a bit, but still far from being convenient enough to be used outside of AWB/IRCM. If you only need to retrieve the wikitext, look at WikiFunctions.Editor.GetWikiText, it's pretty isolated from the rest of infrastructure. If you need more, I suggest using DotNetWikiBot Framework or WikiAccess. MaxSem 18:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you want to put Archimedes in the scientific method thread? -- (talk)
Oh, I did not mind you putting Archimedes into the article about Scientific Methods. That was fine. As a matter a fact, it was not I that removed your text, it was someone else.
But I think I understand the motives of whoever it was that took away your text. First of all, your text was put in the introduction of the subject, and it clearly did not belong in that section. Secondly, the primary reference was to Archimedes having invented the screw, which is common knowledge of course, but which seems irrelevant to an article on Method. I assumed, possibly incorrectly, the reference to a screw to be a pun rather than a serious edit. Lastly, you mentioned logic, which might in itself have been relevant to the article if 1) It had not been placed on its own in the intro 2) It had not been together with what I thought was a pun - and I did, others will think so too, and 3) it did not really seem to be well integrated into the rest of the article.
I hope that you will continue to contribute to wikipedia. Do not get discouraged if someone changes your text. The vast majority only do this if they really think it needs changing to make a better article. Take some time and careful thought and get at it again :) DanielDemaret (talk) 15:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the WikiProject D&D talk page for more details. :) BOZ (talk) 18:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I caught the Rajab having a "user box" virus from Rajab, and transmitted it to Mila Varga.

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet
It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.
This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
