what I put on my user page is my own business. The above was in response to something that happened a long time ago. -- Tarquin 09:43, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)

What obscenities I delete from your user page is everyone's business. You childishly defend the indefensible. OmegaMan

I have no idea what you are saying. User pages are considered private property on WP unless extremely offensive. Please leave mine alone -- Tarquin 18:05, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Well, it would be purely argumentative to disagree over Tarquin's arbitrary distinction (NOT Wikipedia's) between "extremely offensive" and "moderately offensive". Yes, I deleted your "social theory" weeks ago. OmegaMan

Please leave my user page alone. -- Tarquin 21:07, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Any chance of persuading you to voluntarily remove your "social theory" simply on the grounds of good taste? [I am making the precarious presumption that you understand the concept.] By the way, why did you think such nonsense was important enough to restore? OmegaMan

asking a favor

Hello, Tarquin.

I have a favor to ask to a French ambassador. Would you somehow let the IP user from 217.64.171.225 know the message at fr:Discussion Utilisateur:Tomos?

I am not sure if the person can read English (although my message is in English because I cannot write in French). It seems s/he is most active at fr. wikipedia after comparing with en., ja., and de.

And I wrote the message at my discussion page, just because I did not want to be rude by writing it at his/her page.

many thanks,

Tomos 19:47, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC) I can be reached at ja:利用者‐会話:Tomos or en:User talk:Tomos

Hi, Tarquin,

My original contribution at Wikipedia talk:Americocentrism came out sounding offensive, so I have revised it. I didn't want to offend anyone but just make the point that I don't think that turning a predilection into an ism is the best way to make articles comprehensive. Trontonian 23:29, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Agreed. Care to suggest a better name and tweak the page a bit? Tarquin 13:25, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I still think the best solution would be to provide some examples of carious types of centrism. It just occurred to me that the original article about American football was Eurocentric. It seemed to have been written by someone who'd never played the game or seen much of it. It and the Canadian football articles still talk about number 3 rugby balls instead of giving the actual specifications of the balls used in the games. I also tried to introduce some balance into Ice hockey. Because there are two varieties of the game it's important to cover them both adequately.

At the moment I'm writing a lot of jazz stubs, and every one has been about an American (Oscar Peterson already had an article). I hope that the struggle against Americocentrism doesn't lead to the sections on jazz ending up like a printed encyclopedia of jazz I have, in which minor European figures are given equal prominence with people who played jazz as a living music rather than as a novelty. The printed encyclopedia has no article about Hazel Scott, but it has one about Ronnie Scott, for example. I bet buddy might even think Hazel wasn't a jazz figure -- purist Europeans did boo Muddy Waters for playing electric guitar. Trontonian 18:45, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)

In fact I went back and checked the hockey article and it was still slightly biased towards international rules, so I've been fixing that up. So there you have proof of the need to be alert for national bias. Trontonian

FWIW, I point out bias towards France on the fr: wikipedia ;) -- Tarquin 20:17, 2 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Could you let me know the title? I had a quick look but couldn't find it (just looked for francocentrisme and francocentrique). Thanks. I'm Trontois over there. Trontonian

There's only a post on the mailing list so far. I've been planning to add a section about it to the main NPOV page. Apart form that, I've been modifying articles on cities to state that they're in France... -- Tarquin 13:17, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'm being more diligent about national POV as a result of our discussion. I am happy, though, that i have not so far run across the earnest Canadocentrism one finds so foten in the Canadian media. Trontonian 00:00, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Smooth Newt

I recently started with cleaning up some of the amphibian pages, and came along the Newt page. I wonder about the taxonomic name of the Smooth Newt you gave there (and in the image description) - Lophinus punctatus. Google couldn't find much about that one (most were wikipedia and copies of it), thus I searched the common name, but that one gave me the taxonomic name Triturus vulgaris. Is L. punctatus a different species? Or just a very uncommon alias name? andy 22:20, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Why did you move Kitchener back? Standard practice is to use peerage titles in article titles unless the person is much better known without them (e.g. Disraeli, Baldwin, and so forth). I'd say that's not the case with Kitchener, and that he should be listed with his peerage title. john 17:14, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It is? and he is? Oh well. I'm obviously not up to date on the most recent title conventions. Sorry -- Tarquin 08:56, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No problem :) It might be an idea to reload it as a longer name. THe problem with "alexander" is that it could be used by someone else uploading a pic of another Alexander, such as Alexander the Great, etc. -- Tarquin 12:00, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Will do ... thanks ledgerbob 12:07, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Paddington Skin?

What's the news on this? I stumbled across the reference and scurried over to the Test Wiki to try it out but I can't find any trace. It's mentioned a couple of times on Meta but I haven't actually been able to view it. Phil 10:25, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)

It's here: m:Paddington skin. You can't see it directly because HTML files are sent by the server as text for security. You'll need to dowbnload it. I've had very little feedback from it. I'm currently thinking of starting a new design from scratch, or maybe starting a design document first. -- Tarquin 10:29, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

The image on "Teacher"

I would be happy to disclose from where the image comes. But first, can you tell me why it's important?
—Vespristiano 20:29, 2003 Dec 24 (UTC)

Please accept my apology—I checked "Wikipedia:Image description page" and discovered you're absolutely right: I should add copyright information. When I get the chance, I will update the description page for that image as well as another one I uploaded.
—Vespristiano 20:45, 2003 Dec 24 (UTC)

I came across this little tidbit

<<It is evident that the story in this form is impossible, for the younger Tarquin is represented to have been still a young man after the long reign (forty-four years) of the alleged usurper, Servius Tullius. There is no reason to doubt, however, that a line of kings of this name reigned in Rome, and that it was of Etruscan origin. The last Tarquin was expelled, on the ground of tyranny, at about the beginning of the fifth century before Christ,[1] and a republican government established.>>

Numbers in the Bible

Even for non-believers, the Holy Bible has had a profound cultural impact, and numerical symbolisms used in or suggested by the Bible are copied into secular culture.

WikiProject French départements

Hi Tarquin. Maybe you wouldn't mind having a quick look at Wikipedia:WikiProject French départements, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject French départements.

Article series

Hi, you had previously expressed an interest in Wikipedia:Article series. Jengod, Jiang and I disagree on what types of articles are suitable for a series and. Just thought I'd let you know since watchlists aren't usually working these, and only three people have opined at all. Tuf-Kat 07:42, Jan 17, 2004 (UTC)

Hundred and

I would only be too happy to do add the word "and" to the articles on numbers, but others have already started to do it for me (look at 360 in the article on 300). The discussion on this issue is spread out all over the place. I would like to gather it all at Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers. For the time being I really would rather not worry about it. If I write the article on 400, I will make the stubs on 401 to 499 shorter by excluding the spelled out form of those numbers, therefore bypassing the issue altogether until the stubs grow to merit their own articles.

The work on these number articles is a noble effort and I don't want to see that effort disrupted by this issue over one word. PrimeFan 17:32, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Looks good! But why are you using a TABLE for the header? Could you use the hooks I suggested on Meta for print stylesheet and page settings? -- Tarquin 10:22, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I was forced to do so, I hate them with all my heart. :( I wanted to use CSS-tables but the problem was the background color and floating elements: if you use a CSS-table with floating elements, the background-color covers the static (non-floating) element only. In the case of the skin, the size of the 2 cells can differ for each browser. For example, I'm pretty sure than in Netscape Navigator, the right-cell is the biggest one; while in MSIE, the left cell is the biggest. (h8 broswer compatibility) Could you point me out to your suggestions on Meta? --Maio 22:19, Mar 9, 2004 (UTC)

For Cologne, try the mockup I made: meta:Cologne skin. Feel free to plunder that for tricks. As far as hooks etc go, please read the meta:Layout design document and the meta:Layout design document/Page architecture technical thingy. The idea was that if all layout templates conform to a basic HTML element architecture, then we can have a number of things handled by a global stylesheet and alsoa global print stylesheet. -- Tarquin 16:43, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

mysterious foo

Tarquin, I have no idea what's happened so am not sure you're the person to speak with. And, in case we have different ideas on this. Nevertheless, I'll have a go at it.

I noticed a little while ago that there was no article Foo. So I created one. Someone suggested it should be a redirect to metasyntactic variable, and I disagreed as this more than a foo puzzled person probably wants to know in the first instance, and thus over much parsimony in articles. However that may be, I happened to end up at foo just now, only to find myself at metasyn... What had happened, I naturally asked myself?

I found at the redirect page (foo) no evidence whatsoever of my recent creation nor any discussion of whether it deserved independent existence. The Talk page included a note from you from 02 suggesting that it be a redirect and requesting comment. And thus to you.

I am not so old an admin that I want to go crashing around (with my vast Cthululian powers) causing trouble trying to find out what has happened. Can you enlighten a benighted and so save civilization from my spastic fingers? ww 17:39, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

(channeling Gilda Ratner), never mind. I created FOO, it's scrolled off my contributions list, and I lost it. You (!) even added the message that it ought to be merged now that I look at the page history. Not sure what to do yet. Thanks for reading the ravings above and I'll just slink softly off the stage now... ww

Ferdinand de Saussure

hello,

I'm adressing you since you're listed as the french wikipedia ambassador.

we were wandering how should the name 'Ferdinand de Saussure' be pronounced.

thanks in advance,

Felagund

This is a guess, but I would say: the last 'd' is silent, and all the 's's in Saussure are 's' rather than 'z'. So it will sound like 'chaussure' said by someone with a lisp. -- Tarquin 11:57, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

TV Naming conventions.

At some point in the past you expressed an opinion on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television). I have instigated a new poll on that page. I am hoping that this poll will properly allow all users who have an interest in the subject to express their views fairly before we come to a consensus. I have scrapped the poll that was previously in place on that page because I believe that it was part of an unfair procedure that was going against the majority view. I am appealing to all users who contribute to that page to approve my actions. I would appreciate it if you could take the time and trouble to read the page carefully and express an opinion and vote as you see fit. Mintguy (T) 16:41, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Counties policy

Hello I have added an explanation note to the counties naming policy at Wikipedia: Naming conventions (places). I have done this to make it clearer because certain people have insisted upon mis-interpreting it (see Shipston-on-Stour and Talk:Gloucestershire). I dont think it has changed the policy just explained it better.

It has already been OK'd by User:Angela and User:Warofdreams, is it OK with you?. The reason I'm contacting you is because you voted on the original policy. G-Man 17:12, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

If you have a few minutes to spare, please see the debate currently under way at Wikipedia talk:Protection policy, with particular reference to user page protection. For some reason, I seem to have fallen foul of a group of sysops who have made it their business to stamp out the practice of protecting one’s own user page. A sensible (in my opinion) proposal has been made to amend the policy, and I would be grateful if you would add your view, assuming you have one. Cheers. Deb 13:23, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. – Ram-Man ^{(comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new)) (talk)}[[]] 20:10, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

Body Piercing

On your comments in the above article I take it that I can assume you think I probably self-harm because I have six piercings. Oh, and the fact that I have a tattoo only strengthens your arguement I suppose?

I don't think so, body piercing is NOT mutilation, unless of course the person piercing does it incorrectly, then you may have a 'strange/mutilated' body part where you had to take out aforementioned bad piercing.

Sustainability category/project/series

Hi. I noticed you have worked on the Sustainability page. There has been, as you might expect, a little heat recently at the Hubbert Peak page, and some of us are discussing ways we might better organize the information about energy sources and developments. Articles/subjects that we are discussing the organization/hierarchy of include Hubbert Peak, Energy development, Sustainability, Future energy development, Alternatives to oil. It occurred to me that you might have some fresh ideas about how to go about organizing a rational hierarchy, whether it be a project, a system of categories, a series, or simply an informal vision. Please give your input at the bottom of Talk:Hubbert Peak. Tom - Talk 17:27, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Meta sysop

Hello Tarquin,

I noticed on m:Administrator on Meta that some sysops on Meta were to be confirmed in January, so I put it up on m:Requests for adminship. Accordng to the administrator page, Any sysop inactive on meta for a full year will be desysoped. "Inactive" means no edits in the past 6 months and less than 50 edits in the last year. You fall under that definition. So, if you do need sysophood, or don't need sysophood, or don't care either way, please say so on the Requests page. User:Brockert/sig 03:34, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
