woman author

Hi WikiJedits - I saw your discussion on Wikipedia talk:No original research; I'm curious who the author is? I'd like to point out that it is important for antiracist scholarship to have access to information about racist materials ... anyway, it is my firm belief that we can talk about racism and adequately explain racism without falling afoul of various WP policies. so if you'd like a second opinion on the material let me know. --Lquilter 15:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

NOR Request for arbitration

Because of your participation in discussions relating to the "PSTS" model in the No original research article, I am notifying you that a request for arbitration has been opened here. I invite you to provide a statement encouraging the Arbcom to review this matter, so that we can settle it once and for all. COGDEN 00:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please do a google search with "Anirvan" "Aurobindo". You may get good references. I think, it will be good if we can provide brief summary of the books. No doubt this will be tough task. --Amondal (talk) 03:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply


Thats a great work. Yeah, Bengali fonts are displaying perfectly. It may not be possible for me to provide brief summary immediately. I will try my best to do the same. In the mean time you may also ask Dwaipayanc (who edited the article few days back) to take a look on the article. --Amondal (talk) 03:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I award the original barnstar to WikiJedits for taking initiative in blueing a red link and thus, creating his first non-stub article, Sri Anirvan, which, without doubt would be followed by many more substantial contributions. --Gurubrahma (talk) 06:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Times Online

edit

Thank you SO much for all your help with the Times archive; without your help I'd still be chasing randomly around the internet. When I tried again, the Times site was working (must have been a fault earlier) and I was able to register and view those pages. The 18th had just what I was looking for: copy from a French paper, followed by their own comments, including "it is affirmed that there was on the 10th a bloody battle between Lord Wellington and Marshal Soult." The earlier papers referred only to Wellington's movements prior to the battle, so this seems to be the first reference. That Times site is BRILLIANT and I (like you) am so excited to have found it. Thank you (again). Gwinva (talk) 02:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! The above piece is fine as per what the docb project looks for in an article. In general, you might want to limit your use of blue links, red links and the citations somewhat...(but that's my personal bias). Keep editing and "be bold". --Stormbay (talk) 02:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikijedits, you are a wonder! Thank-you so much for translating the page. I'm really very grateful. And so quickly, given there was so much! I'll have a search on google and see if I can find where all the information came from. I'm not sure what part of the world you are in, but given your username, I think you might have been interetsed in a tv prog I saw the other night : 'Bring Back Star wars', in which Justin Lee Collins reunited various Star Wars stars (the little robot guy, the Boba Fett guy, the little teddy bear guy and Darth Vader himself, plus Lando Calwhatnot, the tall wooky guy and Princess Leia in LA.

White horse plus

Happy you took it up, it is fascinating isn't it, and different from the other WH articles. Be glad to help, soon as I can. :) Julia Rossi (talk) 22:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

PS just been there and it's brilliant – start class or more already. You're good! When you're ready, pitch it to DYK. You could do better but here's an example hook,
  • ...that the white horse in mythology is associated with the sun chariot, warrior-heroes, fertility or an end-of-time saviour, sometimes with seven heads?

Or I can nominate you, Julia Rossi (talk) 22:22, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sure, I'll nominate you and give you a link to it. Meanwhile I'll help with those other things. :) Julia Rossi (talk) 22:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi Wikijedits here's your link[1], and your article is currently near the top. If you would like to change it or can think of something more "hooky" just say, Julia Rossi (talk) 01:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please find suggestions here[2] for an intro para, and subsets of mythologies. For starters. If your images are all copyright-cool (or from wiki articles) their layout looks okay to me, Julia Rossi (talk) 02:38, 18 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for that – I wasn't sure. Did you see my comment about genetics vs visual/symbolic importance of "white"? I'm not sure how to put it, but the horse as "white" looking is more important in this context than what is a genetically white horse. Also, I couldn't find the ref but I found a comment that whiteness in horses was a breeding intervention, so the connection with domesticating horses way back and formulating legends involving them, and what that does for myth might be interesting. Julia Rossi (talk) 09:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Did a bit more as you suggested, and tucked the kinds of traditions under a common title – tweak as you feel fit. Had another thought, the degree of paleness seems to be a key, esp with the one that is rose petals er, leaves on a saffron field which suggests a kind of palomino or dappling– and grey being light. (It's hidden in edit text of the Iranian tradition section). So, maybe a section that discusses this with refs. I put it here for later, anyway. Also put the eight feet iinto the hook unless it's too long that way, what do you think? Julia Rossi (talk) 09:34, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

You're very welcome and it's such a good article. More people will come along to edit since it's been dyk'd. And yes, the dyk page is getting more complicated with up to five queues of noms in waiting. I don't know how the eds do it either.

White horse (mythology)

edit

Hi WikiJedits, there is a discussion about a segment of this article regarding whether mythology surrounding the white donkey (in reference to Jewish tradition) should or should not be included in a "horse" article. As there is only one editor on each side of the issue, I am inviting some of the folks who were actively involved in creating the article and adding substantive content to take a peek and weigh in.
