Adding categories

You asked about adding categories -- the easiest way to do it is to simply add the new category to a page (where it will then be a red-link). Then edit the new category and add its parent category to it. For example, if you wanted to create a category called "Ditch diggers" to add to a page for a person, simply add [[Category:Ditch diggers]] to the bottom of the page. Then click to edit the new [[Category:Ditch diggers]] and add [[Category:Occupations]]. Hope this helps. ~ UDScott 22:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, pls can you redirect Otto Hoffman to Otto Hoffmann (with two 'n') which is the correct spelling of the name? I try and try and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't make it work! Thanks in advance. Macedonian 15:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

The actual way you would do this would be to move the page to the proper spelling, but the current VFD period needs to end before doing this. Once this period has expired, if the result is to keep the page, it can then be moved to the correct spelling of the name (which will automatically create a redirect from the misspelled version). ~ UDScott 15:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Macedonia theme page suggestion

As was suggested at the Otto Hoffman vfd vote I was wondering what you thought about creating a theme page for Macedonia, rather than continuing to create stub pages for the many authors & historians that have quotes about Macedonia. I've just finished tagging a few more of yours as stubs, and I question whether many of them will ever become more than stubs. On the other hand, if you gathered all of these together (at least the quotes related to Macedonia), they would make a nice theme page that anyone interested in Macedonia would be more apt to find. Just a thought. ~ UDScott 15:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

That's a good idea. How can I start it? And under what title should it be? Would just Macedonia be enough? Macedonian 16:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure, there are a number of similar pages here, in the category of Places - for example, Belgium. You could gather the quotes together on a Macedonia page, and then probably either delete the original people pages, or have them redirect to the new Macedonia page. ~ UDScott 17:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

You wrote: Sorry disturbing you, but I’m troubled in what title and intro should the page have. If you see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia, the term may refer to several things. You will probably know there is a naming dispute between Greece and FYROM, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia_naming_dispute. You have also probably noticed that my contributions are regarding the greekness of Macedonia; however, I will not react against someone on the opposite side who will might want to post there quotes contrary to mine, since that would be nothing other than a good idea: then readers could see both sides of view and can judge for themselves. So consequently simply "Macedonia" is the best for the title, as it covers them all. But what should the intro of the page be? How about “Macedonia, a historical and geographical region on the Balkan peninsula, that is divided between Greece, the Republic of Macedonia, and Bulgaria”? Macedonian 18:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I would probably title it 'Macedonia' and use the intro from Macedonia that you cite. ~ UDScott 18:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks good so far. I'm assuming at some point you'll either delete the indivdual people pages or redirect them to this new page, right? But overall, it's looking like a solid page. ~ UDScott 18:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Josephus

Your quote: Josephus wrote several books - which one is it from?--Poetlister 13:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

It's from "Antiquities of the Jews", Book 11, chapter 8, paragraph 5. Macedonian 15:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - I've noted that.--Poetlister 14:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Macedonian. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Macedonian~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
