Hi! If you're going to write about the 1099 Battle of Ascalon, you might want to either make "Battle of Ascalon" a disambiguation page, or write about the 1153 siege in the same article (that would be my choice, it's probably not worth two separate articles, since they are connected anyway). I'd be willing to write some info about the 1153 siege if you want. Adam Bishop 03:55, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hello again, I was going to ask if you had any comments about the First Crusade article, which we are trying to turn into a "featured article," and whether you wanted to write a bit about the Battle of Ascalon, but I see you are probably not around at the moment...well if you happen to read this anytime soon, any help would be welcome!

Pope Benedict

I would do your task regarding the "Germanism of Pope Benedict". But the article is protected. Please stop the protection so I can contribute to this article. I´m not registered at wikipedia and give me the website where the text about Pope Benedict and World War 2 is. 84.146.244.122 15:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Note from Mike: I'm not protecting that or any other article. Please speak to the Vatican about this.

Library expansion

{{expansion}} isn't just for stub - I think it's pretty much what you want, a request for people with knowledge about the subject to add material. I added it because it was listed on Wikipedia:Requests for page expansion (if it is there, it needs {{expansion}}). ··gracefool |☺ 06:24, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Islamic influence on Venetian governmental structure?

Your edit at Venice on 15:17, 10 August 2004
"...The Venetian governmental structure was a mix of Byzantine and Islamic systems..."

Venice had remarkable political and economic relations to islamic countries, but I never heard of Islamic influence on its governmental structure; do you have additional information on this? --Marek Moehling 00:37, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Henry VIII

Hi, I've just seen your edit to Henry VIII of England. I'm not convinced deleting titles from References is a good idea – surely theres a difference between References and Further Reading? Anyway, I've commented on the talk page - take a look? Cheers JackyR 22:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Invitation to join WikiProject Genealogy

I am extending this invitation to you because you are listed as a Wikipedian genealogist. WikiProject Genealogy seems to have ground to a halt, and I'm hoping to either "reboot" it or, if interest is lacking, eliminate it. If you are so inclined, please visit "This project's purpose" topic in WikiProject Genealogy Talk at your earliest convenience and respond to my comment. (You might have to scroll down a bit; my comment is mostly boldfaced.) If you are not willing or able to participate, please notify me of such in email, and I won't disturb you further about this matter. Thank you. -JohnAlbertRigali (talk) 08:35, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted at LSU

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Louisiana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Louisiana State University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Baton Rouge and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:14, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

So very late in the day but... It's the CoA of her father. You can tell most obviously by the fact it is a shield not a diamond and has a crest. The article is about the earldom not the present holder and the picture clickover shows as much. I'm not sure the present form is a problem. Garlicplanting (talk) 11:22, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Vikings and Varangians

I can see that we share a common opinion that goes against the mainstream regarding those two labels. I really dont know how to develop the pages concearning the viking age further, but reading some of your posts, I just wanted to show my sympathy. Seems to be a very difficault challenge to make people understand what varangians and vikings really were. Since I like wikipedia lot, it makes me very sad seing old myths being repeated over, and over again, when this really should be right place where you could get the real facts.

Disambiguation link notification for August 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle of Ramadi (2006), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page III Corps. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Opinion request

Hello colleague,

I am interested in the Middle Ages too.

I created Category:Medieval civilizations which is part of Category:Civilizations by time. The former is nominated for deletion and at the moment the vote is 2:0 in favor of deletion. I am used to deletions, but this time I am stunned. I do not believe there is no place for such a category. I believe that most people with interest in history would agree that civilizations existed in the Middle Ages. I ask people to contribute their opinion to the discussion. Regards,--Maxaxa (talk) 02:46, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
