'Fact' tag in Vikings in Iberia
[edit]Hi there! You've tagged a clause as needing a reference in this article, but the reference at the end of the sentence covers all the claims made in the sentence. Surely it would be a bit heavy handed to duplicate the reference? But I didn't want to just undo your good-faith edit so I thought I'd post here. Alarichall (talk) 15:28, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I'm removing the [citation needed] tag that I added. Thank you very much for your comment! --Schweinchen (talk) 16:45, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
Answer
[edit]Hi. It's not up to me to decide (and while I don't presume to have such knowledge, I take what you are telling me with a grain of salt). The editors in the article "Córdoba, Spain" determined to favour Córdoba (I did not follow the discussion, but English Wikipedia usually favours indeed the most common name in English-language sources, with an ancillary recentist bias phasing out historical terms: see "Kiev"/"Kyiv" or "Corunna"/"A Coruña"). In addition to that criterion (follow the one in the main article), the criterion "use toponym according to the sources cited" comes to mind. What you are doing in a connected article is not constructive, because it is not the place to determine such thing (usage frequencies). In a nutshell: the frequency of usage between option "B" versus option "V" will not be determined on the talk page of the article "Andalusia" (let alone via an exchange of edit summaries in such article), but in the talk page of the article "Córdoba, Spain". Regards.--Asqueladd (talk) 23:03, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello. Well, now it seems now that my initial suspicion was correct and you are missing my point. I removed all instances of Cordoba (no acute accent) because some googling seemingly implied that spelling is incorrect or in both English and Spanish. A discussion about recent or historical terms and a link to Google Trends – where people might omit diacritics out of laziness especially while typing on an English-language keyboard – has no relevance whatsoever. Google Ngrams viewer might be more useful in cases like this. However, the point you bring up is valid and helps improve the article, so what I would do now is change all instances of Cordoba to Córdoba in the article, if you agree that would be an improvement. Schweinchen (talk) 20:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps ngram viewer could be more useful, but only if used correctly. That result in ngram viewer does not necessarily relate to Cordoba/Cordova/Córdoba as in the city in Spain (but to any mention to the string elsewhere in any context). I don't have a strong opinion vis-à-vis putting the accent in the mentions to "Cordoba" in the article "Andalusia", but I think someone already beat you to it.--Asqueladd (talk) 22:20, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Indeed, the Ngram Viewer isn't too relevant either. Well, if someone already beat me to it, it's all done. Thank you very much for your input, then. Schweinchen (talk) 05:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Spanish - American War
[edit]Hi there! Feel free to add sources claiming that the War of 1898 between Spain and USA was not a war between democracies. But please don't remove the citation(s) of a reliable source asserting the contrary, thanx.--- Darius (talk) 15:46, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with you. It's best to keep it in the article. I'll just add some text clarifying why most sources don't consider Spain a democracy during the Restauración period, even though one can find sources (of dubious rigor) asserting that the Spanish-American War was a war between democracies. Thanx to you too! Schweinchen (talk) 20:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 5
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of wars between democracies, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bourbon Restoration. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

La Guerre (Rousseau) moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to La Guerre (Rousseau). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hey there, and thanks for your message. The thing is that I started translating from the French-language Wikipedia when I realized that the article there cites no sources. But then I found: https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/artworks/la-guerre-8002, which is from they got most of the information for their article, I think. I've added it as a reference to the draft article. Cheers. Correction: There is a link to the Musée d'Orsay webpage in the French Wikipedia article, but it's in the External links section and not under References.
