:No problem, categories are tricky ones! To add a category to an article, you put it in just like a normal wikilink: so if I wanted to add this page to Category:Wikipedians, then I would type [[Category:Wikipedians]]. Because of the ways categories work, it doesn't appear as a normal link. Categories are usually placed at the end of articles, as the last text after the inter-wiki links and External Links. See Wikipedia:Categorization for more info. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 19:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Women in war

Hi. I saw your articles about Margareta Elisabeth Roos and Ulrika Eleonora Stålhammar, and I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad to see that someone besides me is interested in the subject of women in war. If you could add sources to these articles, that would be very helpful. You can learn how to cite sources at Wikipedia:Citing sources. Thanks again for creating those articles, they were quite interesting. Asarelah 15:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redundant categories

Hello again. I noticed that you added the categories of "Women" and "Medieval Women" to the Veborg article. While Veborg is, of course, a woman and a medieval woman, it is not appopriate to add these categories because the category of "Women in Medieval warfare" is a subcategory of "Medieval women", and "Medieval women" is in turn, a subcategory of "Women". Articles are not supposed to be in a category when they are already in a subdivision of that same category. Don't feel embarressed, this is a very common mistake made by new editors. I made the same mistake myself when I first started out. Asarelah 14:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Email

Go into your settings and turn on your email. I was hoping you could help me with some genealogy in Sweden.

I was hoping you might have more access to information in Swedish on Anders Örbom and his descendants.

[edit] Taskfore

Hi,

Another Wikipedian and I just created a Salem Witch Trials task force. If you are interested in history, Massachusetts, colonial America, witchcraft, or instances of religiously motivated violence, then this is the task force for you!

So please check it out!

Sincerely,

[edit] Little context in Anna Koldings

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Anna Koldings, by Chrisd87, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Anna Koldings is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Anna Koldings, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Anna Koldings itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 18:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

OK, I apologize for reverting the source you added to Emilie Högquist. The thing that made me confused is that your addition here can be considered defamation purpose since it lacks citing sources. Your adding source (Carin Österberg) in a particular section leads to the misunderstanding that the source is used for the whole general information in the article, not for the piece of maybe-libelous "her voice like chicken" whatever itself. I suggest you should use the tag <ref>your source here</ref> for the information you added and other editors won't have any reasons to remove your edits. And about Bollhuset, even if you are the one who started the article, other editors have the rights to fix or remove information that is not appropriate or violates Wikipedia policies. It seems that you translate articles from Swedish to English. Don't mind citing sources even they're in Swedish. Put the template {{Sv icon}} beside your sources to notify readers that the sources are in Swedish. If you don't cite any sources, your edits will be removed at length. Best wishes. @pple 11:23, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You will be missed...

Aciram, I don't know how to say but I was truck with shock when reading the announcement on your userpage that you will no longer take part in Wikipedia. Though I've known you just one day so far, I was really impressed by your invaluable addition to Wikipedia's content. I'm going to miss you. I still hope that you'll come back someday. Best wishes. @pple 09:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

And from me. Truly sorry to see you've left. A great contributor who will be missed. If you do decide to return someday, please drop me a line to say hello. —Moondyne 03:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back!

I'm glad that you've come back. What can I say, I've never seen such a prolific editor. Good job! Hope to see you regularly. Best regards. @pple complain 06:25, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

What great news. Welcome! —Moondyne 13:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Biographies submitted to Assessment

Hi. Thanks for all your good work so far in creating historical biographies from the Scandinavian countries. I have wikified and English-grammaticised many of them before giving them a classification, but I am here asking if you could develop them as fully as possible yourself before you submit them for assessment, as it takes me a deal of time to bring them up to standard before I (or any of us at Biography) can honestly assess them while complying with Wikipedia guidelines/policies. For now, I have tagged the latest batch with wikification templates, hoping that this will attract someone who can find the time to do this. When they are up to standard, we will be able to give them a classification. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 20:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. No, please do not stop submitting them for assessment. If you cannot develop them, consider adding the following as your first line in the edit source:

{{wikify|article|date=Month Year}}

adding the current month where it says Month and the current year where it says Year.
Could you also make sure that your sources are contained in a section called References, as, along with Notes, that is the only source section heading allowed under the manual of style.
Finally, to indicate yourself that your articles are Stubs, please put the following above or below the categories at the bottom of the edit source:

{{stub}}

That will add a stub template into the article, thus guiding assessors.
Thanks for your understanding. When I get time I will have a look at some of your articles to see if I can bring them up a bit. For now, keep up the good work. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 21:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Polish witch trials

Witch trials in Poland were not common due to above average religious tolerance (see Warsaw confederation), but there were some, and the subject is notable. I could point you to some reliable Polish sources (authors: 1) Małgorzata Pilaszek from 1990s-2000s, ex. Procesy czarownic w Polsce XVI-XVIII wieku doctoral thesis, article in popular history magazine, another article follow up to her article 2) Bohdan Baranowski from 1950s-1960s, ex. Procesy czarownic w Polsce w XVII i XVII wieku (book) 3) Szymon Wrzesiński, Wspólniczki szatana. Czarownice na ziemiach polskich (book) 2006. ) 3) Piotr Byczkowski's master thesis on witch trials in Poland, [1]]) 4) Joanna Żak-Bucholc Czary i stosy w Polsce. 5) Here is an academic work with a para on bibliography of the subject: W. Korcz, Procesy czarownic w Zielonej Górze w XVII w., Rocznik Lubelski 1959, t. I; B. Baranowski, Najdawniejsze procesy o czary w Kaliszu, Archiwum Etnograficzne, t. 2, Lublin 1951; tenże, Procesy czarownic w Polsce w XVII i XVIII w., Łódź 1952; tenże, Pożegnanie z diabłem i czarownicą, Łódź 1965; J. Rosenblatt, Czarownica powołana, Warszawa 1883; K. Kaczmarczyk, Procesy o czarostwo w r. 1688 i 1689, Lud VII, 1908; tenże, Przyczynek do procesów o czary oraz Dwa procesy o czary z 1684 r.. Lud XXIV, 1925; K. Koranyi, Beczka czarownic, Lud XXVII, 1928; tenże, Czary w postępowaniu sądowym, Lud XXV, 1925; J. Tazbir, Procesy o czary, Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce, t. 23, 1978; M. Pilaszek, Procesy czarownic w Polsce w XVI – XVIII w. Nowe aspekty. Uwagi na marginesie pracy B. Baranowskiego, Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce, t. 42, 1998; J. Rabianin, Jeszcze o czrach i gusłach w dawnym Lublinie, Lublin 1936. Out of those I'd recommend work by Janusz Tazbir, he is one of the best Polish historians of the era. Oh, and of course there is a little at Polish wikipedia ([2]). In other words, there is a lot of material; usually I'd stub it myself but I am a bit busy now so there may be some delay. Unless you know Polish language and can use the above sources for yourse, you could request the article at WP:PWNB or wait till I find time and will to do it. PS. I also assume you have tried this and this. PSS. Try WP:RD and ask Clio if you need a stub, her answers usually are pretty good :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Is there a template/category for which trials by country? Could you give us (at PWNB) some examples of related existing articles? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 13:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References needed for the Lovisa Årberg article

Thanks for starting this article. However, the article is badly sourced and there is a risk that it will be deleted if notability can't be established. If you have any direct literature reference it would be great if you could add that. Thanks. MaxPont (talk) 05:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
