[edit] Re: Battle of Rome in 390 BC

Check to make sure that there isn't an article about it already under a different name, or there isn't a subsection about the same thing. Midorihana~いいですね? 07:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, that should be fine. Also check Wikipedia:Notability, although being a history article I'm not too sure what it would fall under. I'll have to ask. Midorihana~いいですね? 07:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
You should be fine, go and create the article. Link to it on my talk page, please, thanks. Midorihana~いいですね? 23:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll work on it. It might take a while, considering no one has really written anything. But I'll try. It'll probably by pretty bad. But I'll try. I would love so say my favorite quote here, but it might be offensive. I'll just Anagram it. GWI!!! --Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 23:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. By the way, also check WP:TALK (just FYI). You should try to make a personal sandbox, too. Midorihana~いいですね? 23:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh, by the way please indent your comments with a colon at the beginning of the first word of your comment, thanks. Happy editing, Midorihana~いいですね? 01:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Adoption

Sure, no problem. :) Any questions in general, for starters? Midorihana~iidesune? 06:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

You might also want to add the {{Adopted|-Midorihana-}} box to your userpage. Happy editing, Midorihana~iidesune? 06:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Also remember to sign all your posts. :) Do you have any specific questions? Midorihana~iidesune? 06:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

You might want to first check Wikipedia:Image_use_policy; there, it lists everything about image use. A really important part of the image use policy is Wikipedia:Non-free content; Wikipedia has strict guidelines on the types of copyrighted images allowed and where they may be used. Also check Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for tags you need to put on an image page. What article do you want to put these images on?

If you have any further questions, (or if you want me to clarify the above!), feel free to drop a line at my talk page. Happy editing, Midorihana~iidesune? 07:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the best thing to do right now is to start a new discussion about the images on the respective talk pages. Or, you could be bold and upload and add the images yourself. Happy editing, Midorihana~iidesune? 07:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
How are you doing on Wikipedia? Best regards, Midorihana~いいですね? はい! 20:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Me? I'm fine. I'm really happy about the Pan-Blue Coalition Victory in Taiwan, so I edited some biographies on the victors, like Mr. Ma and Mr. Siew. --Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 06:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bonapartist?

I don't want to get into an argument over this, but I find it strange that one could admire both Napoleon and Kant. Just a comment. Sca (talk) 18:43, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I suppose it is extremely strange that one can admire both Napoleon and Kant. But for what exact reason would you find it strange? I suppose there are many people like me who like them both. Napoleon was an ingenious commander and Kant was an excellent philosopher. Two traits that I find extremely admirable. --Benedict of Constantinople (talk) 02:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Obviously, Napoleon is a major figure in military history and French history. However, I doubt he would have subscribed to Kant's Categorical imperative. Napoleon was a conqueror who led tens of thousands to their deaths.
In this context, it may be worth noting that after Napoleon declared hmself emperor, Beethoven scratched out his dedication of the Eroica Symphony to Napoleon, declaring — according to his biographer — "Now he, too, will tread under foot all the rights of man, indulge only his ambition; now he will think himself superior to all men, become a tyrant!"
Napoleon may still be a hero to the French, but to few others in Europe. And by the way, Hitler is said to have admired him greatly.
Sca (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
It is no doubt true that Napoleon lead many people to their deaths, but why is it that we should persecute only Napoleon. Past commanders like: Suvorov, Alexander the Great, The Duke of Wellington, and Hitler led thousands to their deaths. War is extremely capable of killing bright young men that happen to be stuck in it.
To Beethoven, who happened to be a German, he would seem like an enemy of mankind and God, but to the French, he was the adored and admired leader of the First French Empire. There are many controversies and opinions of people.
Hitler admired Napoleon. So do many others. He is the very founder of the modern art of war. Again, there are many differing opinions, as there will be for every man who leaves his mark in history.

I'm actually not really sure if I'll start the article - it depends whether or not he's notable enough. Midorihana みどりはな 08:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Entirely true. :) What are your sources? Midorihana みどりはな 22:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
