Hello, Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers to Wikipedia. Here's some tips: *You can introduce yourself on the Wikipedia:new user log *If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit. *You can sign your name using three tildes, like~~~ . If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
*Remember to use the Wikipedia:show preview button before you save a page.
*If you have any questions, see the Wikipedia:Help, add a question to the Wikipedia:village pump or ask me on User_talk:Angela.
Other useful pages are: Wikipedia:How to edit a page, Wikipedia:How to write a great article, Wikipedia:Naming conventions, Wikipedia:Manual of Style and the Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedia:Wikipedians! User:Angelauser talk:Angela 12:22, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)
== Indo-Greek Kingdom ==
The dates you gave for the Indo-Greek kings (a) seem rather short for birth/deathl and (b) are all divisible by 5, so presumably are estimated. It would nice if you could follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) when giving dates, for example instead of
:Diomedes (95 - 90 BC)
you could write
:Diomedes (reigned c. 95 BC–c. 90 BC)
(assuming that those are his regnal years and that they are not known exactly) which would come out as
:Diomedes (reigned c. 95 BC–c. 90 BC)
The idea is that the links to the years provide historical context. User:Gdr 22:30, 2004 Jul 27 (UTC)
==Greco-Buddhism==
Good info, but there's still some work left to be done, i feel, i'd like to see more on the interaction of the cultures, and what happend in the end with the Greeko Budhists. User:GeneralPatton
==Ptolemy I of Egypt==
Hi - I'm catching up on past edits, so sorry for delay in asking, but I see that you have been replacing BCs with BCEs in Ptolemy I of Egypt. Is this wiki-style, and I just don't know it? -- User:ALoan User_talk:ALoan 23:00, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
:Thanks for the comment - I'm not sure that replacing BC with BCE and AD with CE really achives much in the way of avoiding a "strong Christian orientation in datation" given that the date of the transition from BCE to CE is the same as that from BC to AD (and in any event, everyone agrees that Jesus was not born at the end of 1 BC / beginning of AD 1). There must be a Wikipedia recommended practice for dates. (Just for the record, I have no particular axe to grind on the Christian front, it is just that I am much more familiar with BC/AD, so it takes me a second to translate BCE/CE.) -- User:ALoan User_talk:ALoan 23:31, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
==Coin pictures==
You uploaded some pictures of some coins. The image description page says that you and the copyright holder agreed that it was fair use for non-commercial purposes. This makes absolutely no sense. Could you please read the Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ and explain to me exactly what you had in mind for the license those pictures should use. User:Raul654 06:37, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)
== Attalus I ==
Hi, FYI: I've just done a major rewrite of Attalus I, since you were a contributer to that page, I though you might like to know ;-) User:Paul August 05:37, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)
== Corrected Image for Atttalus I ==
I see you corrected the image of the coin depicting Attalus I, great!
I have some of questions:
*Shouldn't Attalus :Image:AttausI.jpg be moved to say "Image:Philetaerus.jpg" and :Image:AttalusICorrected.jpg moved to say "Image:Attalus I.jpg" (I would prefer the space between "Attalus" and "I" if possible, or with an underscore if not)?
:* I don't know of an image of a coin of Philataerus yet, so I would recommend against putting Attalus instead. You can change image names with the "Move" function, it's fine.
*Also for both images, you give: http://www.snible.org/coins/hn/syria.html as the source of the images. I can find neither image on that page, I wouldn't expect to since it's the "Syria page". I looked for the images on the "Mysia page" here: http://www.snible.org/coins/hn/mysia.html, and I found the the Philetaerus coin, but it's a "side-by-side" image not the "top-and-bottom" image like the one in the article, did you manipulate it?I couldn't find the Attalus I coin. Can you point me to the page(s) for the images you uploaded?
:*You'll now find the exact references in place. Yes, I did dome paste work for vertical layout.
*Also on the image pages, should we include links to the specific pages the images come form, or just to the site itself? (say: http://www.snible.org/coins/hn/index.html ) Or both? - I vote for both ;-) User:Paul August 16:50, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
:*Done. By the way your new intro to Attalus is great. Regards.
== Image copyright ==
Can you add a copyright tag to :Image:MIKASA%26TOGO.JPG, please? For example User_talk:MacGyverMagic ">User:MacGyverMagic|User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 08:49, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

== foreign merchant at the silk road ==
Hello PHG! - I liked your long-nose-picture from the article Silk Road ! - I sharpened it a bit and uploaded it to [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:ForeignMerchant_at_the_silk_road.jpg] - Thanks for your license! - The picture is now also in the article .

Hello - just to let you know, that I've moved your images of Mikasa to Commons [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:MIKASA%26TOGO.jpg here] and [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:MIKASAGUNS.jpg here] - changing "jpg" to lower case. User:Pibwl 21:55, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
== Article Licensing ==
Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
*User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
*Wikipedia:Multi-licensing
*User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
:I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

==Indo-Greek Kingdom 2== Could you please suggest me, if you have any in mind,books or sources about the archaeology and history of the Indo-Greek Kingdom? User:Kapnisma 14:42, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Buddhist art nominated for featured articled status == Hi PHG, I've recently nominated the fine article Buddhist art for featured article status, and, as you seem to have written most of it, you probably would like to participate in the discussion about it at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Buddhist art. Thanks for your good work here.--User:Pharos 05:07, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC) ==Nice work on Pamalican== Impressive first-draft contribution. If only all new articles were as well-made as this one. == Image:BodhidharmaYoshitoshi1887.jpg == This work is brilliant! Do you know where I can buy a print? ==Wiki Classical Dictionary== Hey. This is User:Lectiodifficilior. I run the site [http://www.isidore-of-seville.com www.isidore-of-seville.com] and [http://www.ancientlibrary.com www.ancientlibrary]. I've seen you around the Hellenistic articles for some time. You look like a Wikipedia dynamo. Do you have any interest in working on a "Wiki Classical Dictionary"? I'm about to bring such a site live, and am looking for people who might want to be editors. The site would eventually cover anything classical, but would start out from Alexander and Hellenistic history. The difference between Wikipedia and a Wiki Classical Dictionary would be similar to the difference between the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Oxford Classical Dictionary, eg., *Emphasis on "norms of good scholarship," going beyond NPOV to citation, "writing to your level," etc. *Authors would have standardized headings for editions, translations and commentaries. *Deeper, focused coverage of the classical world. What do you think? No commitment necessary. I want to gauge interest and solicit ideas. Hit my talk page or email [mailto:editor@isidore-of-seville.com editor@isidore-of-seville.com]. == :Image:ArsacesI.jpg == You uploaded this image so I think you'll be interested in the caption I wrote. User:Gdr 22:55, 2005 Apr 2 (UTC) == Ta-Yuan == You may be interested to know that I have just nominated this as a WP:FAC. Really good work, IMHO. User:194.73.130.132 11:49, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Fra Mauro map images == Could you please upload these images on commons:? I want to use them in Belarusian article about Fra Mauro. If I'm not mistaken http://www.henry-davis.com/MAPS/LMwebpages/249mono.html is the source of images. Are you sure that they are copyright clear (from digitizing point of view)? Of course, map itself is in PD. Thank you. User:EugeneZelenko 04:05, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Classical wikis == Thanks for your reply comment. Against your advice, I did start my [http://www.ancientlibrary.com/wcd/Main_Page Wiki Classical Dictionary]. Not sure if it'll work. Thanks and best User:Lectiodifficilior 06:27, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) == HMS Hermes == With regards to the picture on HMS Hermes (95): It is indeed ''Hermes''... but there were two carriers called HMS Hermes; it looks to me like the picture is of Hermes (R12), the later vessel. If you look carefully at the picture, it has an angled flight deck (the bit sticking out on the right); the picture of the sinking doesn't have this, and the angled deck was a late-war development. So I suspect it's a mislabelled image. User:Shimgray 22:50, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Oppenheimer beach== Thanks for the picture of :Image:Oppenheimer beach.jpg! Instead of releasing it as public domain, though, could you release it as something like GFDL? Basically, the ability to "release into the public domain" is of questionable legal status in general; the GDFL (and other free licensing schemes) basically is a way for you to say, "Yes, I recognize that I own the copyright on this, but I'm setting the terms so that anybody can use it" which is much more legally sensible. It also means that if anybody uses your photo to make something new, they can't release it under any more restrictive a license than you have (so Disney couldn't add Mickey Mouse to the picture and then start making a profit off of it). Just something to think about! Thanks! --User:Fastfission 15:05, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Did you know? == ==Shakya/Saka== Say, are you in a position to comment on the proposed merge between Shakya and Saka? I have the vague impression that the connection between the two tribes is tenuous at best (much like the connections between the Sakas and the Saxons). But I don't know a great deal about the relevant history. - User:Nat KrauseUser_Talk:Nat Krause 05:49, 24 May 2005 (UTC) == Did you know? == == Did you know? == {| class="Talk-Notice" |- | |:Template:Did you know has been updated.
