Regarding the Renaissance:Black Death

I've read the book that is cited by user:Aleydanichol. The pages that are cited describe later plagues and diseases in Europe, not the Black Death. What the user describes then is not relevant to the Black Death, which is the only plague discussed in this section of the article. -Ecimino

In any situation where it's one editors word over another concerning a treeware source, I think the community would much rather see a discussion take place. Being bold is good, but building a consensus around your interpreation of the souce (which clearly differs from another User) would be a much better way to improve the article Achowat (talk) 16:48, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Honors/Honours

There was a user who corrected me using "Honors" in the Vancouver box, changing it to "Honours," so I changed Toronto and Montreal to "Honours" as well. Is that what you were trying to do with Toronto's box, and didn't realize I'd already done it, or is "Honors" appropriate in Ontario? I honestly don't know. -- Fifty7 (talk) 17:20, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

A quick check of the Toronto Star seems to use 'Honor' exclusively. I can find no verifiable use of "Honors" or "Honours" in regards to sports trophies, but the lack of U's anywhere would lead me to believe that the sans-U variant would be preferred. Achowat (talk) 17:26, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

RE: Anti-vandal barnstar

Hey, thanks for the barnstar. Made me pretty happy to get it, seeing as its my first one and all. The vandalism levels are severe right now, so let's keep up the good work. :) -waywardhorizons (talk) 19:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

As long as everyone does what they can. People vandalize just to see how long it stays up. The quicker we take things down, the less there will be. -Achowat (talk) 19:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

Hi Achowat. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Swarm ^X 21:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Editing of Bengali Brahmins

It is not clear why you introduce Hindu templates in the article. Hinduism and Brahminism are not same. I donot know whether you are aware of social dynamics of India.It looks poor.Anti-cleaning you are introducing with your medals.117.194.199.126 (talk) 02:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Such a large removal of content is inappropriate without consensus. If you truly think that hinduism is irrelevant to Bengali Brahmins, you may be right, but such a bold action absent consensus isn't the best for the community -Achowat (talk) 12:50, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Algimia de Alfara

Algimia de Alfara and Algímia d'Alfara both refer to the same town, that is why I redirected the first into the second. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.35.109.35 (talk) 16:01, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

The issue is that the page you are directing to is the one without the content -Achowat (talk) 16:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

The page I was directing to is the one without the history content but the one with the correct official name, and probably this cannot be fixed in an other way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.35.109.35 (talk) 16:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
