A comprehensive index for editors

Sometimes, it might be useful to look up a subject in the same way you would do so in a book‍—‌in the index. Wikipedia has an index. To use it‍—‌it is available at the editor's index to Wikipedia.

Although it is called an "editor's index", it is really intended to be an index for anyone involved with Wikipedia in other than the role of a reader. Most of the topics are directly relevant to editing of articles, but some topics are less directly relevant to editing.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Juan Sebastián Elcano, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Castilian. 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.)

Neo-Latin languages

edit

Hi there, I see you removed my request for clarification, but I didn't see any evidence other than a dictionary entry for its use. Could you provide some context for it? I did some searches on Google Books, but couldn't find any entries after about 1890, excepting dictionaries, which could simply be preserving these older usages. Jim Killock (talk) 20:14, 7 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jim, you are right. I will undo my edit to search a better clarification. Venezia Friulano (talk) 22:19, 7 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
I added a couple of citations to the Wiktionary page in case that's helpful. Jim Killock (talk) 19:23, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Gladius

edit

Venezia, i genuinely did not realize it was you, I want to avoid other edit wars and co-operate. Again, I have nothing against mentioning Spain and Celtiberians obviously, I'm just trying to keep coherent these articles I and others helped make, when I see weird Edit patterns (the issue with your edits was that Pompeii and Mainz are not sub-types of the hispaniensis, and the sword was in use among Celtiberians before Hispania was part of the empire of ancient Rome). Can you tell me if my last version is fine

P.S. Regarding the other page, I think Spanish America and Portuguese America refer to the colonial period, Spanish-speaking America and Portuguese-speaking America to current parts of Latin America, no? Barjimoa (talk) 06:35, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

There is no colonial connotation or reference with "Spanish America" on this context. It is the geographical term, together with Latin America or Hispanic America, most used and common. Spanish-speaking America is really redundant and I don't remember it being used in the English or Spanish language very often.
Regarding the Gladius article, both are versions based on the Gladius Hispaniensis. Venezia Friulano (talk) 07:03, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
However, although I believe there is not, it is not my intention to give the articles a colonial connotation. So, in order not to offend anyone, using Hispanic America is an alternative. Venezia Friulano (talk) 07:11, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Ok, i think Hispanic America is fine. I've removed Portugese America for the same reason and for redundancy, if that's ok.Barjimoa (talk) 16:55, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

WP:ANI notice

edit

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. TompaDompa (talk) 18:49, 9 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi Venezia, with respect to the ANI notice, we would require you to comment there and justify your position. Advanced suggestion -- you seem to be a sensible editor (given that in the past you have apologised for your inflammatory comments). Therefore, a prudent step forward would be to apologise for how you have communicated with the editors in question, give an assurance that this won't continue, and proceed to edit collaboratively. Of course, the final decision of what you discuss at ANI is yours. But the current trend of discussions from you, although not blockable as of right now, is at the edge of tipping over. Please take this as a good faith suggestion from an administrator who has discussed and decided to not block you or warn you in any way. Will await your response at ANI. Thanks, Lourdes 13:57, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
