Spain didn't exist during the Roman Empire
You can either talk of the Iberian Peninsula (which is a geographical feature) or the roman province of Hispania which spanned along what is today's Portugal and Spain. The Russian Tsars weren't rulers of the Soviet Union, weren't they? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.61.117.82 (talk) 17:04, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Muziris article - mistakes in your edit
The article on Muziris says "Tamil" for place, language and literature - this is wrong! The place is Kerala, language is Malayalam and the literature is Sangam.

Re: Candy Apple
Mz7 has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!
'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple. Thank you for the candy apple, so I thought I'd return the favor with a horribly written spooky message. It was a dark and stormy night. Rain fell from the sky and pattered on the roof of an old castle, where many lived and worked. Next to this castle was a field where a man was presently walking alone. There was no moon, but lightning filled the sky, which briefly illuminated the lone man's evil face. His baleful eyes had always struck fear in everyone who saw them, and those that knew this man doubted he was truly afraid of anything. He approached the castle with caution, for fables told of a bewitched item that protected the castle's inhabitants from harm. Dire consequences awaited those who dared to enter the castle with ill intentions. Many had heard of these stories, but few souls had ever dared to confirm them, and many of those who did were often never heard from again. No one knew exactly what the bewitched item was, but the thought of it was enough to deter thieves and vandals—with the notable exception of this man, who was intent on destroying the item. The man scaled the walls of the castle expertly, and soon he was in a dark corridor illuminated by a lone flame. He began to navigate through the castle undetected. Soon, the man was in the main courtyard. At the center stood a magnificent painting kept in a glass case. Below it was engraved: "RESURRECTIONISTS - TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE". Smiling devilishly, he quickly broke the glass case and took hold of the painting. He was about to rip the artwork into shreds until out of the corner of his eye, he saw something which made his eyes widen. His once confident face was replaced by one of sheer horror. "No! Back away!" he cried. The man now knew beyond all doubt that this was the bewitched item that protected the castle. Suddenly, he felt himself being dragged, and he was dumped into the muddy dirt outside of the castle. The man knew his luck—he had been shown mercy, and given a second chance. The man vowed to change his ways and start contributing constructively to Wikipedia, the free castle of knowledge. Forever though would he remember his encounter with the item, which had the appearance of a lousy t-shirt. If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message! |
