Editing Yule[edit]
Hello Ragnii. Welcome to Wikipedia.
I've noticed your edits on the Yule article, and would just like to explain why I removed one of the sections and tagged the other.
Recipies are always removed from Wikipedia because they do not belong in an encyclopedia, I think they are usually deferred to wikimedia, or sometimes just linked to from the article.
The article about foreign Scandinavians do belong, but it still seems mostly specific to Swedish emmigrants. So maybe you could return to the first article header, or write the it more generally? Carewolf (talk) 09:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Sujata and the seven wives[edit]
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sujata and the seven wives, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Personal essay - Original research.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- I have userfied this page to save it from immediate deletion. You can find it at User:Ragnii/Sujata and the seven wives. If this is based on notable literature, please add citations from reliable sources and move it back to where it was. If is something you made up or it is based on non-notable literature, please replace it with {{db-user}} and it will be deleted. If you leave it alone, then after a couple of months, it will probably be nominated for deletion under Wikipedia's miscellany for deletion procedure and eventually deleted. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:44, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- I did a Google book search and there's clearly some good stuff here, but I'm not familiar enough with the material to make the article usable. I hope you are. If you need help formatting citations or moving it back into the main encyclopedia, leave me a message on my talk page. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Roman polytheistic reconstructionism[edit]
When linking to Roman polytheistic reconstructionism, especially in articles dealing with historical religious practices and deities of the ancient Romans, please don't call it Religio Romana. That's potentially confusing and misleading, as in Latin it simply means "Roman religion". Call the modern revival movement what the article's called. Cynwolfe (talk) 21:29, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Notice[edit]
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Roman_polytheistic_reconstructionism_and_other_Roman_topics. Thank you. v/r - TP 13:16, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Citations[edit]
Could you please read WP:CITE - your citations are incomplete. It's good when you cite a book that you give page numbers, but we have guidelines for styles. We also have a citation tool on the toolbar above the edit window I@m using now. On the right there's a drop down arrow that says cite which opens a template window on the left. There are several templates there. For books you need to click show/hide extra fields so that you can add the page number. At the very least you need to also include publisher and publication date. I also include the ISBN number. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?
If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.
All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian
The questionnaire[edit]
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.
quick and easy exit poll , estimated time required: 4 minutes

Detailed Instructions: you are welcome to answer these questions via usertalk (easiest), or via email (for a modicum of privacy).

Processing of responses will be performed in batches of ten, prior to publication in the Signpost. GamerPro64 will be processing the email-based answers, and will strive to maintain the privacy of your answers (as well as your email address and the associated IP address typically found in the email-headers), though of course as a volunteer effort, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will have a system free from computer virii, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will resist hypothetical bribes offered by the KGB/NSA/MI6 to reveal your secrets, and we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will make no mistakes. If you choose to answer on-wiki, your answers will be visible to other Wikipedians. If you choose to answer via email, your answers will be sent unencrypted over the internet, and we will do our best to protect your privacy, but unencrypted email is inherently an improper mechanism for doing so. Sorry! :-) |
We do promise to try hard, not to make any mistakes, in the processing and presentation of your answers. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact column-editor GamerPro64, copy-editor 75.108.94.227, or copy-editor Ryk72. Thanks for reading, and thanks for helping Wikipedia.
