Investcorp edits
Hi. I wonder if you could take a look at Investcorp. It was tagged today as spam, but when I checked the history it appears to have been a non-spam article before some anon edits. I've reverted the few most recent, but as you were the last registered user editing it could you take a look at the edits following yours (that I've left)? They've done things like changing "Asset Management" to "Hedge Fund" but since as far as I know a hedge fund is your savings to buy garden plants I can't determine whether it should be reverted all the way back to your edit; you seem to understand the terminology! Thanks, Tonywalton | Talk 14:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- All I did was to restore the category, which appears to have been removed by a sloppy edit. I'm no investment specialist, nor do I want to enter into an anonymous edit war. Bwpach 17:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I misread the edit history. I'll leave it as it is, then. Regards, Tonywalton | Talk 17:22, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for the invite.
- I thought my rationale was good, but if using a template will keep me out of hot water, then I'll do it. --Bwpach 17:03, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- The rationale is good, but the bots specifically look for the for the template. Plus, it makes it easier when we have to do a mass update as we have had to do in the past. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 17:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I didn't see that provision in the rules. I will no longer use AWB for any edits like that.--Danaman5 (talk) 23:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Lutherans and Teresa of Avila
In your edit here you talk about some "saints calendar of Lutherans". Could you please point to an online link as reference to that and reply on the talk page here? It sounds a bit preposterous to me that Teresa who fought Lutherans throughout her life is venerated by them. --Jacob.jose (talk) 10:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, your note here was very informative. I have modified the article. --Jacob.jose (talk) 17:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Saint Categories
I noticed you have been moving articles from the category Ancient Roman Saints to Saints by century. I don't think that Ancient Roman Saints is a parent category, as it describes where the saint is from, not when. A saint from ancient Rome is not the same as a saint from modern-day Italy. --Bwpach (talk) 15:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- There are in a few "Ancient Saints" that are not "Ancient Roman Saints," but we do not yet have a Category:Ancient Christian saints or any better parent category. Note well this CFD in progress on Ancient Christianity.
- I am also emptying Category:Ancient Roman saints as go because (1) it was never use with any one consisten meaning (2) if it was used as you propose it would be an ennormous list needing spitting up anyhow and (3) most of the page put in Ancient Roman Saints were put there by me, so that I could latter find them and put them in Saints by century, and include non-Roman saints.
- All my change are to place them in the correct century. You can let me know if you do see an errors in century.--talk) 22:17, 22 November 2008 (UTC)]
Categorization
Hello. Thank you for the valuable categorization work you're doing. I'd humbly request that you take a little more time to categorize articles a little more precisely than you are currently doing. It's important to be mindful of a few things:
- Categories should be as precise as possible. For instance you put St. Clement Seminary in Category:Seminaries and theological colleges which of course is relevant but Category:Seminaries and theological colleges in the United States would have been better.
- When possible you should add all relevant categories so that articles can be accessed through multiple paths. In the case of Timothaus Mar Shallita, the categories Category:Bishops of Syriac Christianity, Category:Ancient Church of the East, Category:1936 births and Category:Living people.
- Biographical articles should usually include the birth/death year categories. More importantly, BLP-relatedproblems.
I hope I don't sound too patronizing, this is not my intention, but you'll do a better and more complete job if you go a bit more slowly. Best, Pichpich (talk) 19:05, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- "you'll do a better and more complete job if you go a bit more slowly" – sounds patronizing and douchey.
- The article St. Clement Seminary does not indicate that it is the United States. In fact, there is a tag that states that this information is missing.
- As for the article on Timothous Mar Shallita, I read a little bit about him, but I don't know enough about Syriac Christianity to know if he is a member. I'm loathe to make assumptions about other people's religion. And, yes, it's a biographical article, and I could have include the birth and living category, but that certainly would not help access through multiple paths. It's more akin to wikifying, which this article has already been tagged for improvement.
- I'm not trying to create a good article, I'm merely contributing to the reduction of a 4 month backlog of uncategorized articles. Bwpach (talk) 19:55, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

wstitle parameter
Way back in April 2009 you made an edit which linked to a wikisource article. Since then you may well have come across it else where, but this is information in case you have not. Most of the encyclopaedias and encyclopaedia type books on Wiksource have templates that make it easy to access the source. To do this instead of using
{{1911|title=Aphibole|url=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Amphibole}}
you can use:
{{1911|wstitle=Aphibole}}
and the template takes care of the rest by creating an inter wiki link in this case
This has several advantages. It uses inter-project links instead of external URLs. If the editors on Wikisource decide to move the book to a new location there is only one template that needs changing for 1,000 of links. If the article does not appear on Wikisource, then it can be entered as a standard parameter title=name with or without a URL Then when the article is ported to Wikisource all that needs changing is "title" to "wstitle". Finally and not least it is easier to type just the article name and an additional "ws" before "title" than typing in "url=http...." -- PBS (talk) 14:51, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
