University of Durham http://www.durham.ac.uk/n.g.boalch/ I have been contributing to the Wikipedia since January 2003, although my contributions have been light until late 2004. I am particularly interested in adding and developing content on film, television, theatre and other visual culture from Spain, Catalonia and the Spanish language-speaking countries of Latin America, but I tend to poke my nose into various things that look interesting or where there's a good discussion brewing. I am a participant in various projects including Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week, Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket and Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias. The two things I do most frequently on the Wikipedia (my primary means of procrastination, in fact!) are ensuring that Current sports events is kept up to date with cricket-related content and wikifying Special:Newpages: I find a particular satisfaction in copyediting these pages so that, even if they don't contain much information, at least they look like part of the 'pedia!
== Paloma Pedrero == You did some extensive work on the Paloma Pedrero article. I am trying to disambiguate the link to "director". Can you please check that I disambiguated correctly to theatre director (as opposed to film director or television director)? Thanks. User:Rossami 23:08, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC) :Yes, theatre director is correct. Thanks! User:Ngb 16:24 07 Nov 2004 (GMT) == Cut and paste / Naming conventions == You appear to have done a cut-and-paste move from The Basque Ball to La pelota vasca. Is this accurate? If so: #Why have you moved a work with a well-known English-language title to a foreign-language title? Doesn't that go against Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Use_English_words? #I can't imagine any reason for a cut-and-paste move, which separates the history from the article. For now, I will try to remedy the cut-and-paste move; I actually think the article should be back at the old title, but I don't want an edit war over this. User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 18:54, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC) The cut-and-paste rather than move was a mistake rather than an intention -- I'd overlooked the functionality the system provides for moving pages. So thanks for fixing that; it certainly wasn't my intention to orphan the page's history. As to the location of the page, I have deliberately gone against the Wikipedia:Naming conventions in this case for a specific reason: uniformity of titling within the work of one Director. Not all of Julio Medem's films are widely known to English speakers (only La pelota vasca and Lucía y el sexo are widely recognised, I would say), so it makes sense to leave his earlier films with their original Spanish titles. But I think it's then confusing if the later films are indexed under English titles. So what I've done is to have all the articles for Medem's films under the foreign-language title, with the English-language title or equivalent redirected to the foreign-language article. This way, hopefully, everyone's happy: there's consistency in the way the articles are titled, and the article can be accessed (and searched for) under both an English and a Spanish title. --User:Ngb 21:46, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC) :(I should say, additionally, on the naming issue, that I personally do not agree with the Wikipedia policy on this: I think texts such as novels, films and so on should be titled as they were originally, with English-language versions linked to the original. But I accept that that's what the policy is, and I wouldn't go against it without good reason; but I do think that's what there is in this case. --User:Ngb 22:52, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Image:Pedrero.png == Hi!
