Your question on help-desk

Probably Nomex; there's also CarbonX (no article on that, but you'll find details online). There's no generic English term for fire-retardant fabrics, apart from, um, "fire-retardant"... which is realistic at least. Or "fire-proof"... which is not. Haploidavey (talk) 15:15, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

The Machu Antartic Base article

I have checked it and the English is as good as it can be, no great thanks to me! But I thought you might like to know and remove it from the translation request page. Saludos. Richard Avery (talk) 15:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, someone took it down about 1 hour after I noted it needed no more work. Ah well no damage done - I probably should have taken it down my self. Bueno, nada más. Hasta la proxima. Richard Avery (talk) 13:37, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Translating Montevideo & Uruguay topics

Hi Andreateletrabajo, thank you for the translation help offer. I also live in Montevideo but my Spanish is not yet good enough to say very much beyond basics, but I can also translate from Spanish to English (well, rather slowly). I translated some parts of the Montevideo article and some Montevideo hospital articles. I also try to bring some life back to Wikipedia:WikiProject Uruguay but there are not enough active members to make any useful group work there. There are many main topics missing from Uruguay. I think each one should judge by oneself what is the most important. Some like sports most and indeed this is the best covered sector of Uruguay topics. There ia a page here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Uruguay/Needed articles which might be good to check, but you are welcome to add there any topics you feel are missing too. Then check if any of these topics is covered in the Spanish Wiki and pick your choice. I would say that this [1] might be a nice article to have in English, for a start, but I let you decide. You might also like to be a participant in WikiProject Uruguay, in which case you can list your name here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Uruguay/Participants/list. Best regards, Hoverfish Talk 02:34, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Redirects

Re. "I´ve got any idea of how to correct a redirection here" on Wikipedia:Help_desk#reticular_theory,

I thought it might be better if I answered here.

I notice that you nominated Reticular theory for deletion; please, forgive me, but I 'undid' that, because it is not an article - we have a separate process for redirects, Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion - I'll come back to that later, after trying to explain;

(Accepting that the redir may well be 'wrong'...it's best if I explain how to change, and/or get it deleted)

As of now, Reticular theory is a redirect to Santiago Ramón y Cajal. So, if you go to Reticular theory, it automatically redirects.

That is because the page "Reticular theory" contains the following.

#redirect [[Santiago_Ramón_y_Cajal#Works_and_theories]]

That's it; just one line.

When you go to Reticular theory, notice that at the top of the page, just below the title, is an extra line;

Santiago Ramón y Cajal

A start-class article from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Reticular theory)

The special link, in that last line, is to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reticular_theory&redirect=no

If you click it, you get to the actual page, and it can then be edited in the normal way - ie, it can be changed to another target, or nominated for discussion.

Now - regarding changing it, or deleting it;

We don't often delete redirects, unless they are actually harmful (for example, if a redirect "Big Fat Loser" pointed to a famous person). We have a saying, Redirects are cheap.

If you do think it should be deleted, then WP:RFD is the place - not AfD. But, instead, I suggest fixing it; make it point to a better target. Such as, perhaps, Neuron doctrine or even just Neuron - whatever you think; I'm no expert.

An alternative would be, to write a short 'stub' article about Reticular theory - but that would, of course, need a few references to reliable sources.

I hope this is helpful to you, and I'm happy to help you more. If you feel it really should be deleted, then that is certainly possible, too; let me know. Best,  Chzz  ►  13:31, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Re: Serious matter

I really can't comment on the matter with any certainty because I just don't know all the context. If this is an es.wiki issue, it should really be discussed there instead of here. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 18:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

As far as I know I have not communicated with the user; I am unsure exactly what this correspondence was supposed to be, but if it was about an es.wiki matter I can't imagine I gave counsel (and in any case it's not binding.) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 19:08, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Niño Soldado

Hello, thank you for your translation, it is good, and your english is also good. But still it is not clear for me, whether he had fought against Dias or against Huerta. As I understand from the text, first Delgado served under Villia and fought against Huerta, and then federals forced him to fight against Villia. Am I right? And I need to know what uniform the boy is wearing on the photo, is it form of Huerta troops or Villia forces? I need answers only for this two questions, cause I need to put description under photo in my article. Can you help me to clarify this points?--Mexicanec (talk) 18:57, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh, thanks, that's exactly what I needed, as we say in russian - "то, что доктор прописал"=)--Mexicanec (talk) 19:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

• But let me ask one more question, battle at Hacienda de Buenavista was the last battle of Delgado or he continued serving under Huerta? And why is he called "last survivors of the Northern Division", if he is Huerta's and not Villia's soldier?--Mexicanec (talk) 19:44, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

  Thank you again. But I didn't understand about which Huerta the text from commons is telling about. Because as far as I know Victoriano Huerta was not executed by Villia, he died in US prison of cirrhosis of the liver. If the text from commons telling about this man, it is not only copyvio, but also unreliable source.--Mexicanec (talk) 22:13, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thank's a lot. The last question, are you sure about the uniform? --Mexicanec (talk) 23:13, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Filippo/Felipe

Hi! It's a mess... it is not easy to fix because every language has to be fixed in order to create different groups of articles: all the translations of Filippo, all the translations of Felipe, and so on. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 16:38, 22 August 2012 (UTC) My bot does not work on interwikies, you could ask some help to an interwiki bot operator: they probably know how fix it in the proper way. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 16:42, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Message from Búfalo Barreto

Miss Ganímedes, I'm Búfalo Barreto. You blocked my account in the Spanish Wikipedia. Please understand, I do not want to vandalize pages. I created a page called Comité Ejecutivo Nacional del Partido Aprista Peruano and I don't understand what is the problem of this page. Many editors have destroyed my created page. Could you explain me why did yo block my account in spanish wikipedia. I'm very concerned because I cannot edit any more pages about peruvian politics. I recently created the National Executive Committee of the Peruvian Aprista Party page on this day, and it's the same thing I created in Spanish Wikipedia. Many english editors like RJFF have commented my good edits and my new created page. I'm new in Wikipedia, and I would like to improve Wikipedia as a good editor. Please forgive me for any inconvenience. Please if you could answer in spanish on my "blocked page". Kind Regards Búfalo Barreto (talk) 01:49, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Gracias por su comprensión Miss Ganímedes. Voy a contactarme con el bibliotecario Fixertool para arreglar la situación del bloqueo. Muchísimas Gracias, Búfalo Barreto (talk) 12:34, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Miss Ganímedes, en el caso de la biografía de Leo Dan, en un libro llamado Leo Dan's Nature dice que Leo Dan es argentino, pero nació en Uruguay. Muchas personas creen que no es verdad, pero si lo es. En el otro caso de las Comisiones Parlamentarias, yo agregué las comisiones y por equivocación agregué la Comisión De ET encima de la Sub Comisión, sin darme cuenta, cuando pulse Grabar, vi que la Sub Comisión no estaba, entonces copie la Comisión de ET, puse la Historia de la Pagina y agregué junto a la Sub Comisión la Comisión de ET. Fue un error no a proposito de vandalizar. Mi cuenta no ha sido creada para vandalizar como usted me calificó. Cordialmente, Búfalo Barreto (talk) 14:30, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Miss Ganímedes, gracias por el aviso de que Fixertool no es bibliotecario. Pero me he quedado pensando, porque usted no me desbloquea, porque usted me desbloqueo. Por favor responda en mi talk page y desbloquee mi cuenta por favor. Saludos Cordiales Búfalo Barreto (talk) 17:07, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Por Favor, me podría dar algunos nombres de bibliotecarios para que les explique mi caso? Saludos Cordiales Búfalo Barreto (talk) 18:19, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Vandalismo en la página Antonio Brack Egg

Miss Ganímedes, le escribe Búfalo Barreto. He detectado un acto de vandalismo en la página de Antonio Brack Egg. Alguien borro en su info-box el nombre Alan García, encima poniendo un nombre extraño que dice llamarse Cristopher josua trujillo herran. Yo no puedo hacer nada porque mi cuenta esta bloqueada. Voy a pedir mi desbloqueo, no se preocupe. Por Favor, tome acción en este caso Saludos, Búfalo Barreto (talk) 10:37, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Miss Ganímedes! Cuanta formalidad en una discusión mierdosa. Nada personal, eh? Es que Wikipedia es una mierda y tu discusión es muy divertida para bandalisar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.150.85.38 (talk) 02:05, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Logo

Hi, Ganímedes - just wanted to let you know that I designed another VRT logo that makes it easier to see the letters, especially when using the logo as a topicon. In the event you'd like to update the image you added at Wikipedia:VRT, see the Commons image which works much better when reduced to topicon size: vs . I'm wondering if we should delete the original 3-D text image I uploaded or just leave as is? ~ Atsme 💬 📧 10:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
