Cantabria-stub

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of stub types for individual Spanish regions, except in very rare citrcumstances they are only beign created as it becomes certain that there are more than the standard threshold of 60 stubs for them. it should also be noted that several of the stubs you have put in here are geo-stubs (i.e., they are about geographic locations), so should really have used simply Spain-geo-stub until such time as there are enough stubs for a separate Cantabria-geo-stub (this - and similar possible splits - is checked regularly). Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there about this template. And please, in future, propose new stub types first!

Category deletion: Cantabrian mythology

Hi, I've proposed to delete the Cantabrian mythology category you've recently created, because of the following:

It seems this category only features articles of the Asturian mythology category. Since it only predates the contents of the aforementioned category, I suggest to delete this one and, if necesary, improve the Asturian mythology articles with the appropriate references to the Asturian mythologic influences in Cantabrian folklore. There's no need to have two different names for only one category of articles -- · Ravenloft · (Talk) 11:26, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've answered your comment in my talk page. -- · Ravenloft · (Talk) 11:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Translation of Himno de Cantabria

Where did you get that translation from? Is it official, or did you make it yourself. The reason I ask is that it seems very literal but I don't think it preserves the poetry present in the original. —dgiestc 20:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

De donde saqaste este traddución? Es oficial o tú lo hiciste? Yo te pregunto porque aunque is muy literal, pienso que le falta la poesia que tiene el original. —dgiestc 20:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I reworded your translation. It is a bit less literal but more natural. On a related subject, have you seen the translation effort at Cantabria/Translation? —dgies^t_c 08:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Conceju cnc.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Conceju cnc.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Idi-probak

Uhanu, I'm not entirely sure why you felt you had to move Idi probak. I read your comment on the dicussion page but I'm not convinced. I'll admit that I was not aware of these being conducted in Cantabria and Asturias but until there is something on Wikipedia about this, I don't think it warrants moving at this stage. For one thing, the Idi probak page specifically deals with the Basque variants of this sport and also, at the very least, you could have brought this up on the talk page before you just went and did it. You've also really messed up the English title, the title is Oxen test but even if we had agreed on moving, it would have to be Oxen tests. Plus the Idi probak page now leads to Oxen events which then reroutes to Oxen test. Overall, given that people across the world use oxen in various forms for religious/sports purposes, I think we should stick with the indigenous terms for the time being. For one thing, the way you're suggesting we lay it out, you couldn't create an overall page for Oxen games in an international context. How about this: we restore the Idi probak page, you create one for Tiru güeis and we create a page like Bovine sports (similar to equestrian sports as an overarching portal to link to the different regional variants?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Unican.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Unican.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Tudanca

Yes I made these images in the Netherlands, they are geotagged I thought, so you can find them in google earth. This herd was at Johannahoeve and there are some now at the "Planken Wambuis", which is a bigger reserve. He also imported some Sayaguesas (from around Zamorra)I want to take some pictures of.

Email me at viridiflavus@gmail.com please, so I can give you the home address of the importer/organization.

Furthermore this year or the next I am planning to go to Portugal to make a survey of reptiles and amphibians at Rio Coa (near Douro). The organization might interest you, they concentrate on reintroducing the traditional herding in remote areas. http://www.atnatureza.org/ Viridiflavus (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
