Towers

Nice job Inkwina. Should we now drop the lists of towers in the three articles as that info is redundant with the info in the block you created? Also, do we need a category for "Private Towers"? There seem to be a number of towers that were built as fortified residences.

On the Wignacourt towers list, I noticed that the Marsalforn Tower is missing. Could you add it? Lastly, should the listing of the towers in the block be in alpha or geographical order, rather than chrono order? Alpha order would seem most sensible and would facilitate finding pages. On the category page we could still retain chrono order. Thoughts?

Acad Ronin 11:16, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I'm hoping we'll have a 1 liner next to each name eventually (date of construction, location, etc) as to "Private towers" lets wait till we have something, eventually we'll have a "Fortifications in Malta" box, and those would go under "other", I think, or ask the experts.

Kinda re-ordered the list (ignoring St.), but there's lots more to fix in due course (is it Hammrija or Ħammrija Tower? etc..) --Inkiwna 21:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. As for the tower, it is the double-barred H on Hammrija. I just couldn't find it at the time, but now see that it is in the character list. Acad Ronin 10:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grazzi Ħafna

Thank you very much for uploading Image:Qaghaq tal-hmira.jpg and adding it to Maltese cuisine. Would you also be able to create a short description in the article to go with the image? It would be much appreciated. Regards, --Gibmetal 77 ^talk 18:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Names

Quite simply, no. The naming conventions of Wikipedia are to follow English names. Do not revert again. Kyarichy (talk) 15:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May I remind you to follow Wikiettiquette rules and speak with some degree of literacy. The names are backed by sources, as listed in the articles. Kyarichy (talk) 15:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources from Malta do not count due to the code switching that occurs between Maltese and English there. The fact that the council names, for instance, Curmi as "Qormi" is irrelevent - they name it in the Maltese name. We name it in the English. The Italian name for Rome is Roma, yet our name for it on Wikipedia is still Rome. Kyarichy (talk) 15:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phonetic transliterations? Hardly. Curmi is not pronounced the same way as Qormi. Your views are original research until you provide sources, and even then, the views of the current sources will still have to be reflected. Kyarichy (talk) 15:56, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:OR, WP:RELIABLE, and WP:POINT. Kyarichy (talk) 16:44, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be correct on that one. However, I still strongly doubt Mtarfa is the English name. The others are still undoubtedly correct however. Kyarichy (talk) 17:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article is now Imtarfa per here Kyarichy (talk) 17:52, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the names of the Maltese village articles

There is currently an ongoing debate about whether the articles on Maltese villages should be given their English names. Kyarichy has already gone and renamed a bunch of articles such as as Kalkara citing these changes from an old obsolete paper and http://www.geody.com, even though these names are no longer in use.

The naming conventions clearly state that foreign location names commonly used in English should be used as the article names.

It would be appreciated if you could assist us in this discussion. ~ ► Wykebjs ◄ (userpage | talk) 10:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you are from Malta.. why not participate also on the Maltese Wikipedia? Nistenna risposta mingћandek ;) Chrisportelli (talk) 06:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sorry for answering you late. Well still thanks for your help. It's still a good intention to indirectly help our culture flourish. Good job + keep it up! Chrisportelli (talk) 16:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisportelli2 (talk • contribs) [reply]

Luca, Malta‎ and Luqa‎

Please do not copy and paste articles in attempt to rename them. Doing so destroys the edit history of the article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: Wikipedia:Requested moves is the procedure that you will need to follow. Since there appears to be some dispute about the naming of the article, I recommend re-opening the discussion about what the article should be named on either the article's talk page or perhaps WikiProject Malta. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sculptor

Hi, the image you added File:Santa Marija Assunta - Vara.JPG of a statue in Malta seems like high quality art. Any idea who the sculptor is? Please see the talk page on Malta for a discussion. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 15:17, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:06, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
