Speedy deletion nomination of Victor E. Rillieux

Hello Aearthrise,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Victor E. Rillieux for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

A little Latin help

Hi @Aearthrise:, thanks so much for all your contributions!

I have created a personal user award to recognize contributions related to ancient Roman history, which I have dubbed "The Barnstar of Tacitus". Could you check my translation: "stella horreorum Taciti"? Thanks. Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 19:07, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

I can certainly help you; the phrase you wrote means the "Star of the granaries of Tacitus". Aearthrise (talk) 20:12, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
So how would I say it correctly? Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 20:36, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
I assume you want Classic Latin Pronunciation: Aearthrise (talk) 21:30, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
I'm sorry, how do I write it correctly? The meaning I'm looking for is the "barnstar of Tacitus". Thanks Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 21:34, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
As a translation, there are different ways to say it: 1.stella granarii, stella horrei meaning "Barn star, Granary star, Storehouse star"; 2.stella horreorum, stella granariorum- "star of barns, star of granaries, star of store houses" work too- 1. singular and 2. is plural. Aearthrise (talk) 22:00, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. And how do I say "of Tacitus", "Barnstar of Tacitus"? Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 22:17, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
Taciti, like how you wrote it, is the correct way of writing "of Tacitus". Aearthrise (talk) 22:43, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Another Latin queation

Salve,

Aiutum! I am struggling with the difference between evocare and devocare, evoco and devoco. I understand evoco to mean to summon, or lure. An evocatio was a ritual designed to "distract" a city's gods by a besieging army. But I find in Pliny's Natural Histories XXVIII ch.4, devocare is used for summoning Jupiter. Are the two interchangeable?

Evocatus is a veteran heeding the call to return to duty. So what would a devocatus be?

If you can help, awesome, don't feel obliged to respond if you can't :-) Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 04:47, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@InformationvsInjustice: taking a quick glance at the prefixes of the words- evocare means calling out ex+ vocare, while devocare is calling down de+ vocare. Beyond that difference I would assume they have a similar or same meaning. As an evocatus is someone called out (i.e. called to return to duty), a devocatus would be someone called down to someone/something, and an advocatus(advocate) is called to someone/something. Aearthrise (talk) 22:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
@Aearthrise: Could the de in devocare be a negative prefix, like dethrone or denounce? Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 05:26, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Latin translation

Hi there Aearthrise, I saw that you're proficient in Latin, and wonder if you might be willing to translate a few sentences? They're "Leontius hic jacit fidelis puer dulcisimus patri, pietissimus matri. Qui vixit annis septem et mensis tres et dies sex. Innocens funere raptus, beatus mente, felix et in pace recessit." It comes from a letter written by Robert Howard Hodgkin, and while Google Translate gives the gist of it, it would be nice to have a more accurate translation before incorporating it into the article. The full letter (i.e., the full excerpt of the letter that was published) is: "This morning I set my face against the lovely Cologne Primitives and kept rigidly to Roman and Frankish antiquities. Among other things I copied out some of the Frankish inscriptions on tombstones. One of the fifth century: [above inscription]. I suppose sorrow has been almost the same through all the ages." The letter was written some eight months after Hodgkin's twelve-year-old daughter died. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 01:23, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Hello Usernameunique! Yes, I can translate this: "Leontius lies here, a faithful boy, the sweetest to his father, the most pious to his mother. He lived seven years, three months, and six days. An innocent taken by death, blessed in mind, he departed happily in peace." Aearthrise (talk) 20:17, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
That's great, thanks very much! I've added the translation to the article. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:25, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Louisiana Creole people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page African. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ  Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

"Alabama Cajans"

Eh, cher — fellow Cajun Wikipedian here, nice to meet you. Thanks for all your good work on the Alabama Creole people page — but I do want to raise one important issue. The "Alabama Cajans/Cajuns" are no relation to either the Louisiana Cajuns or the French colonial settlers of Mobile. They are the descendants of a group of Choctaw Indians that evaded resettlement to Indian Territory in the 19th century. They were mislabeled as "Cajuns" (or "Cajans," a not-uncommon spelling for the Louisiana Cajuns at the time too) in the 1880s and the name stuck. They have long considered it a pejorative and have for decades called themselves the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians. You can see background in the links below or in the ones linked at the MOWA Band article; the WPA Guide was just repeating some common misconceptions of the era. Given the lack of an actual connection, I think the Alabama Cajans section should be removed, but since it's almost entirely your work, I thought I'd give you a heads up.

December 2022

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Alaskan Creole people moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Alaskan Creole people, is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 TT me 12:15, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

All of the information in that article is from other articles in Wikipedia, so while you're putting that article into a draft, you should also move all the other articles that the information was copied from to draft space too as apparently they don't fit "veritability." Aearthrise (talk) 14:56, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Please peruse WP:OWN. Blanking the draft was not called for and looks like an act of lashing out at the perceived denigration of something you own. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:31, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
You accuse me of lashing out without any evidence; I won't tolerate your slander, and I want you to apologize to me now for your attack on my person. Aearthrise (talk) 15:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
I merely pointed out how your actions look. You decided to take it as slander. I have not attacked you. I still suggest you read WP:OWN. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
You, "UtherSRG", posted an inflammatory accusation on my talk page; you purported that the blanking of a page and adding a delete tag on the Alaskan Creole draft page was an action of "ownership." You then demanded that I read the page for ownership disputes, WP:OWN, yet you yourself, being an Admin, ignored the very lines within that read "Always avoid accusations, attacks, and speculations concerning the motivation of any editor."
Your supposed basis for your accusation was that I blanked the page and put a deletion tag. This a Wikipedia sanctioned action under the deletion rule WP:G7.
You escalated this encounter to a personal level attack by making baseless accusations based on your unwarranted speculation. This behavior is not becoming of someone who has been a Wikipedian for as long as you have, and especially not of an Administrator.
I want you to apologize to me now for your personal attacks and baseless accusation and I implore you to read the very rules that you purport to be upholding rather than slandering Wikipedia members. Aearthrise (talk) 21:59, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
I am sorry that you choose to take things so harshly. I merely looked to help you see how your actions were viewed. G7 is definitely a legitimate criteria for deletion. Without such state criteria, the request looked like lashing out in frustration. With the criteria, it appears less so. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:06, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Issues following drafting of Alaskan Creole people

I'm not really sure what you were trying to accomplish by pasting a massive informational template at the top of Promyshlenniki and Russian America, nor by previously moving them to draftspace, but it is disruptive and I have reverted it. Please see WP:POINT and be more careful about invoking templates that you are not familiar with. signed, Rosguill talk 16:20, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you @Rosguill:, i'm looking to post the template for a content dispute on ths page. Aearthrise (talk) 16:27, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
I had the following encounter with the Wikipedia Administrator @Onel5969: on his talk page}:
More information discussion copied from Onel's talk page ...
Close

I want Onel5969 to explain now what he meant in his closing words because he implied I broke WP:OWN rules, and my reputation is at stake. Aearthrise (talk) 16:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

First of all, Onel5969 is not an admin. I'm not really sure why OWN would apply here, but WP:POINT does per your decision to take drastic action against other articles in response to their draftifying of Alaskan Creole people. Please refrain from invoking templates without reading their documentation (or at least just hitting preview before publishing the edit to make sure you're doing what you want to do! I've now had to revert you twice.); dispute resolution processes are not begun by placing requests for intervention on an article, they are begun with discussions on the article's talk page.
My guess as to why Onel drafted the original article was not due to an issue with the underlying verifiability of the content at the articles you pulled it from, but its suitability in establishing notability of the new subject. To establish that the subject "Alaskan Creole people" is notable, you need to provide sources that describe the subject directly, by name, in detail; sources about Promyshlenikii or other Russian groups are not sufficient. Now, looking at Google Scholar, plenty of usable sources exist, so you should have no trouble creating a suitable draft. If you like, I can restore the draftspace revision Draft:Alaskan Creole people so that you can continue work if you like. signed, Rosguill talk 16:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
