Hey all, our assessment process is raring for moving out, and just needs a little bit of help from you. First and foremost, our Quality and Importance scales need to be completed per consensus, please check them out at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anglo-Saxon_Kingdoms/Assessment and comment. Next, we have, as of my most recent assessments, 1122 articles that have not been assessed. All I ask is that each and every one of us assess ~10 articles each day you get on Wikipedia to speed up the process and let us really know what we have in our scope. Remember, we have Category, Template, Redirect and Disambiguation classes along with our more traditional stub through FA ratings, please use all of them and look for pages which fall within our scope. Thanks for all the help, Sadads (talk) 22:02, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
I've just noticed that the Frome Hoard DYK isn't due to go on the main page until 1am tomorrow morning, to be replaced at 7am. I think the timing's a bit of a shame seeing as those most interested in reading it will be in bed and in all likeliness miss it completely! – B.hotep •talk• 07:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Not sure I can help you. To be honext I remember looking at this and thinking it would never to big enough for a DYK article! How wrong. You've done brilliantly. I was thinking you may go for Frome Hoard for GA being as you have Hoxne as a model? Victuallers (talk) 20:56, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi: I'll fix Silchester on the map. There are three things you can do to avoid clashes a) look at the em value (it adjusts height) b) look at position value - you can have text to left or right etc c) You can add two together ... e.g. Hoxne & Eye where they are basically in the same place. Hope that helps Victuallers (talk) 16:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.
Please re-review Manufacturing in Hong Kong. It was moved to the mainspace on 16 July; I started writing in my userspace on 2 July. When I finished the article and moved it, DYKCheck also shows that it's OK. Kayau Voting IS evil 09:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello Babelstone, I recently stumbled upon a major expansion on the article Liubo. I wonder if you could help me find any historical information on the game Khanhoo in Chinese language once you can speak Chinese and are part of that Wiki comunity. Any reference regarding this game would be also greatly appreciated. Actually I've been thinking about expanding the article a bit and wonder if it could be blessed with your magic touch as well.

I saw Category:Archaeological artefacts from the River Thames. I was adding to Metal-detector yesterday, & I thought a list or category of m-d finds would be useful - maybe just UK initially, as that is where they all seem to be. Perhaps a category, as we have the hoards list already, which covers many of them. Johnbod (talk) 16:55, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

The article Admonitions Scroll you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Admonitions Scroll for things which need to be addressed. Redtigerxyz Talk 09:15, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
I start a fresh new thread about this.
So the template ((unicode)) and <class ="unicode">
are no covering enough. That is very bad, because that is the only thing they are supposed to do. We could create a sort of ((unicode2)) that does the non-BMP characters. That one would have different list of fonts families (maybe only by sequence). But on second thought I still do not trust this. It smells like a compromise: there are no fonts that cover this well enough. We'd still loose browsers (even major ones) that don't show want we expect. It's too much, eh, looking for an average.
Why not try this: we add a parameter that specifies the Unicode block name. Depending on that block name, we should find a font or font family that covers that block best, over all browsers. So we prescribe the font block-specific.
Details: • This could work for the template (say ((unicode2))), but howto do this with class? • Instead of block name, a something else might be used. Like 1st code point. Or script name.
Worth trying? Do you know these fonts? -DePiep (talk) 20:51, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Here is an example of one way we could combine a text-based table and an image-based table in order to allow the user to choose whichever display they prefer. I think it would be possible to make the two tables mutually exclusive so that hiding one would automatically unhide the other, but that would probably involve javascript magic, and we would need technical expertise for that.

When updating Unicode pages to 6.0, could you leave a note like "As of version 6.0" or so. I think that would greatly enhance the quality of our pages. Could also be "((As of|2010|10))". -DePiep (talk) 22:34, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

A few months ago, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it.

Hello BabelStone, I recently came across your blog page on the ogham stones of Wales and noticed your comment on the number of ogham stones in North Wales, which you mention should be 3 rather than the 11 shown. I put up the image (and provided the references), and I'll go back through the sources and correct the map as necessary. Thank you for finding my possible (? probable) error.
I made the map over a year ago and I'm a little hazy on the details, but I seem to recall that some stones classified as 'having ogham' long ago have degraded so that the ogham is no longer visible; if the re-check bears that out, I'll give them a different color and note them as 'questionable' (and if you can shed some light or offer suggestions here, the information will be appreciated); if I've patently made a mistake I'll simply correct it by removing the red color and uploading a fresh map (then I'll try to figure out how the I could have gotten things so wrong). Again, thanks for noting the possible error, and if you find possible mistakes in anything else that I've contributed to wikipedia, please let me know.
