Please give an inline reference, or footnote, to one or more of your sources, to show where the content has come from. If the other sources are not needed to support the content of the article, they should be shown as "Further reading" or "External links". This will save the article from being carelessly tagged as "unreferenced". Thanks. Pam D 00:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Constantine. I'm trying to upload a map on Commons, in fact only a translated version of a old one, to use on pt, but for a unknown reason it's not uploading. Would you mind if I mail you the map and you try to upload it? The file is image:Al-Jazira.svg. I translated it two months ago, but something is wrong. I just changed the text, not the code.-- Renato de carvalho ferreira ( talk) 12:23, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello! I'm translation Abu Tahir al-Jannabi and the first section of this article is giving me headache. Comparing to your article Abu Sa'id al-Jannabi, the information does not match at all. It says in the first article that Abu Sa'id started his missionary mission ca. 890 and it involved basically sacking and plundering Persian hajj caravans. It alto says that Basra was attacked and defended by the caliphal general Abbas ibn Umar, but this person is only mentioned by Akbar Shāh K̲h̲ān Najībābādī, or at least it seems so (I checked using b., ibn and bin).

Hi Cplakidas. I notice that you are interested in Muslim history, so I Wonder if you could improve this article. He was very important because he conquered the last important City of the crusaders in Outremer, however there is not enough information about his life in that article. I hope that you could solve these problems. Greetings. -- 190.238.163.5 ( talk) 07:50, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Constantine. I hope that everything is well with you. I have been doing some work on First Punic War, with a view to eventually working it up to FAC. As you can see from the history, so far I have mostly been cutting out chaff, and working some better sourced material in. What I would value your opinion on is what to do about the Chronology section. Would you advise leaving it as a way for a reader to get a grip on a confusing conflict; or deleting it, as everything in it is or should be covered in the main article. I feel that I am a bit close to be objective. Thanks. Gog the Mild ( talk) 00:11, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Cplakidas,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Hello Cplakidas, I would like to ask your help regarding the article Cirta, since you are an old wikipedia member and you are more experienced than me. M.Bitton and I have a disagreement whether the name of the city in Greek should be added or not. I believe that we should have it since it is mentioned in the ancient sources, etc, while M.Bitton think that we should not have it (see the talk page of the article Talk:Cirta#Names). The problem is that we are in a dead end now since we can't agree.
Since it is the first time that I have been in a situation like this. How this should be solved? What are the wikipedia's guideline?

The article De Consularis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No evidence this organization passes WP:NCOMPANY/GNG.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

This is to let you know that the Abbasid invasion of Asia Minor (806) article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 17, 2020. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 17, 2020, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

Hello, I created Category:Scholars of the Nasrid period under Category:People of the Emirate of Granada. I noticed that the dynasty categories (e.g. Category:Nasrid dynasty) cover the family itself, so something like "Scholars of the Nasrid dynasty" might be mistaken for those scholars who belonged to the family. Maybe we need additional categories like "Nasrid rule" as parent of "Nasrid dynasty" to have clear separation between the period/rule from family. Al-Andalusi ( talk) 23:51, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Have you seen the chapter from 2012 by John Matthews on the Notitia Urbis Constantinopolitanae? He suggests that the Prosphorion and Neorion harbours were already inside the wall of Byzantium at the time of the Severan siege, which means that the walls' circuit on the map presently may be too small. Another point he raises is the area of Caenopolis, which he says must be fairly close by the Forum of Theodosius because the Chronicon Paschale says that roof tiles from the basilica there were blown to Caenopolis in a storm, so it can't have been far. The most important thing is the regiones though; Matthews' treatment seems to vary somewhat with your map, which is not surprising given how long Janin and the older sources have been around for and that the map is itself quite old. I wonder if we could update it in light of Matthews's work? There's also a version of your map with just the regiones marked, but the labels are all in Latin (!) for Latin Wikipedia and I'm not sure they're properly marked. It'd also be good to get the aqueduct systems in at some point; there's been a lot of work on those this century! GPinkerton ( talk) 03:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Kostas, long time no speak, hope you and your family are doing well! - LouisAragon ( talk) 02:17, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Ref: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jawhar_(general)#Al_Qaid_Johar
I've read some of the articles you've written and it looks like you've been doing a lot of research on the Fatimid Caliphate. Thanks, as it definitely is one of the areas of my interest, though I do not have as much academic knowledge, but these articles you have written help people like me tremendously.
Furthering that thought, I'd like your first hand opinion about alternative name for Jawhar_(general), Al-Mu'izz's military general.
1. Romanization of Jawhar's name: I personally, and almost exclusively, know him as 'Al Qaid Jawhar' / 'Qaid Jawhar' but usually use the spelling 'Al Qaid Johar' (some use 'Jauhar'), instead. Since Jawhar himself never used English, it is, I guess, hard to know which one he might have prefered. But... I see the name Muhammad is something the community has reached consensus on, despite the many different romanizations (Mohammed, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mahomet). Similarly, for 'Al Mu'izz' (Moiz or Moez is common from where I'm from). What are your thoughts; is Johar a valid alternative spelling (that has come in-use in recent times among the Ismailis who are predominantly from the Indian Subcontinent) that deserves a mention in the article?
2. better known as: Like above, 'Al Qaid Jawhar' (romanization of the word 'Jawhar' notwithstanding) is how he's better known, is what I thought. I found references in English books where he's called that, but along with al-Siqilli (his nisab) viz. 'Al-Qaid Jawhar al-Sqilli'. However, I do find a lot of Ismailis who are named after him, are simply named 'Al Qaid Jawhar' (see: Al Qaid Johar Izz al-Din, for instance), there's no 'al-Siqilli' at the end. There are opinion pieces (may quality as unreliable source?) that refer to him as simply 'Al Qaid Jawhar', like in the text here (but not in the title): http://www.ismaili.net/hero/hero10.html And most certainly, as mentioned above, many Ismaili people named 'Al Qaid Jawhar', as well, after him.
I feel, since Jawhar isn't as well known as Muhammad, people might find it hard to locate his article esp if they were simply looking/searching for Al Qaid Jawhar (or, Johar), like I was.
I'd really like you to chime in on this.
Thanks again. Murtaza.aliakbar ( talk) 19:47, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Cplakidas,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
Six Month Queue Data: Today – 10271 Low – 4991 High – 10271

Hello Constantine! How are you? I hope everything goes well with you. Would you mind do me a favor? I'm putting sources on some Portuguese articles based on English ones and I saw a problem that can only be solved by moving and deleting articles here and I'm not used how to do it here. The articles are: Chasnud-e `Olya and Chasnud-e Sofla. The first one, as far as I know, does not exist. I tried so hard to find its existence but I found nothing at all. The source mentioned is broken and there is no valid archive to it. The second one exists, but not with that name. If you check the index of Afghanistan's places ( here), exists a Chasnud in Badakhshan, that could only be the one from the article. In fact, could be any of them, considering they have the same first name. The Chasnud-e Sofla's articles mentions the Historical and Political Gazetteer of Afghanistan ( here) and the source also mentions only Charnud, nothing else.-- Renato de carvalho ferreira ( talk) 07:11, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes, medieval greco-latin prosopography is always a bit disheartening with all these Hopfian issues, and I was also intrigued by this Borsari vs Borsari thing before checking the dates. Too bad B. wrote the DBI entry just before his book
As Jürgen Schultz writes,
"It is unfortunate, therefore, that Hopf ’s account serves as the basis for the entries on the Barozzi of Crete in DBI". I have patched together some google snippets to reconstruct the relevant pages in Borsari's unreachable book (where he cites primary sources and explains his reasoning), in case you want to have a look--

Hello Cplakidas. Recently the map at the Chameria article was updated. It again represents the larger version of the region, since it is based on the former map. Could you make one with the smaller version as well, and include it next or below the larger version, so the people can have a more complete comprehension of the region's historical borders, and not just one that amplifies a certain ethnic agenda? It is a pretty rational idea i believe. Who would be against it? I am not saying to delete the current one, just to add an additional with the smaller version. I tried to contact Alexikoua as well for a similar request (Cham Albanian distribution map), but hasn't yet replied back. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 08:48, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi Constantine, I'm wondering if you have had a chance to look at the Matthews paper on the Notitia and if you have any thoughts about the map of Constantinople. No hurry, but I'm keen to publish the draft I'm working on for the 14 regions but there is of course no suitable map, and it's just text otherwise - I can hardly add in a map illustrating a different interpretation of the city's topography to that discussed in the article.

Dear Cplakidas,
If you want to contact any historian or any archeologist or manager of Cultural Goods you will know that the title "La serenissima" can't be actually translated. It's not an adjective, it's a Noble title. Please do not start a flame. There is no "mystical" power, or desire to make Venice Republic look like something it's not, that 's actually you are doing by undoing the change. That's an error, I explained why and took the time to change it. That status of the entry "Venice Republic" (which was on previously) is actually showing how weak is Wikipedia.
You cannot translate an adjective that has become proper noun since it's a noble title, mostly probably coming from Doge, even if it's not known. You cannot translate a proper noun unless you are back to colonial level of culture, nationalized, bigot and retrograde. We are not at those time of "nationalization" anymore.
This is Cultural Goods, I see so many admins editing stuff without having a proper knowledge of what they are doing. If you have studies, and I guess you do, you know that Serenissima is not an adjective. You cannot simply translate it /you can to explain what it means but it cannot be the main title, it simply won't work. Serenissima is international name since that's not a simple adjective.
if you don't understand this it's impossible to actually have a discussion. It's ABC.
Please avoid offending me with strange calls "Mysthical value" of what? It's just an explanation of what it is.
If this is the way these things are managed today how is actually possible to talk, if the first thing you go with is an offense? Admins behave like this all over the internet, you are not admins if you behave like this.
I am changing sutff not for MY PERSONAL PLEASURE, it's because it's incorrect. La serenissima is a title it's not an adjective! It's a noble title, you cannot translate it. It can be translated in the explanation (it meant "the most calm, the most serene" but you cannot go "colloquial" over a title.
It's like saying Charles Martellus can also be called for the friends Charlie .. because we call all the Charles, Charlie nowadays. I suggest to watch out for these mistakes because it trivializes history and also MAKES heritage be lost in translation. Especially if something has not been yet found out why it was called like this, what it means and so on, YOU ACTUALLY ARE EVEN MORE REQUESTED NOT TO TRANSLATE IT because you are loading obstacles by trhowing your own interpretation to the meaning of it, when we still DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE what it means.
Do you have a bachelor degree or a master degree in these topics, if you do I will accept the conversation, if you don't I will accept the conversation anyway, I just want to know, because this is really basic sensibility you have if you got these studies in your experience.
I agree it can be translated but it's way too informal and dangerous to do that in the title. This is an encyclopedia for adults, not a kids book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albero1 ( talk • contribs) 16:31, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Then let's translate in the same way in Russian in all the languages of the world "The most Serene" because english stated that it means the most serene. You are falsifying the meaning. Do you understand that? That's an incorrect bureaucratic invite: one uses this in a video game and says you used it, then you say u took it from google and then I have to lose myself into a sea of texts and contacting all the British text that used this acception to solve this and then come back to you to explain that BRITISH APPROPRIATION Of Universal heritage is an error? This is exactly how things work in Italy, nobody takes responsibility and we all lose. Wikipedia must be NOT A BOT and understand what is using on its pages, because it is managed by HUMANS not by bots.
Let's not change the topic please, it helps lose the point and carries on the errors of forced translation. La Serenissima is not la serenissima. Human error is the best thing, it can't be solved but with time, enjoy your biased translation, will contact Venice directly to change this if you don't want to change it, you are just offering a disservice to the whole community of wikipedia and to people coming here reading on it.
THis is also why I will never support wikipedia anymore, it's just a comic book, it's not an encyclopedia.
We are talking of a SPECIFIC and very special element of a proper noun, an adjective that has become almost a proper noun. But it's nor proper noun none an adjective. Rome of course can be translated from Roma, but La Serenissima is not an adjective nor a city name, it's a title and the title has also unknown origins this is why I state that it sits in a limbo. The only one that has personal issues with criticism and people using brain is you and you are making context and things up to write your own rules over something you clearly and stubbornly, ignore. I prefer to be awarded an asinine hat from you than actually have it on. I tried to help, all the excuses have been put ahead, a suggestion is not welcome on wikipedia, but I stop to talk with bots, for me discussion is another thing. It's actually a thing (a meeting if you check ethimology but I doubt you'll do), not a farse. Wikipedia is just on a bad spin. We are supposed to work together not start bickering at each other. Thanks for your patience. Sure... we have an article in Poland that shows that but then we have an italian title that uses that ssame title, I am not saying that Italy or Venice is unique despite this is missed just in your brain, but I am saying that the title as it is unique, and trying to make all the "Most Serene" sounding title all be meaning the same IS A HUGE SECOND ERROR BIG LIKE THE WORLD. All titles do not mean the same thing, this is another distortion suggestion wishful thinking that flattens the entire system and Cultural Goods which are based on WONDER (THAUMAZEIN) not on DEJAVU. You are definitely a bot. Wikipedia is really a ridicolous "place".
You started all this making it rotten with a call I was suggesting something Mysthical while you rely on "data". Ok then the data is all we need. I am also an original speaker of this language, and one cannot translate a local name when it's not a translatable name, removes the meaning from the word. How can't people see the damage they are doing? La Serenissima is not "LA most serene", it's a huge difference. Sure, just bend your head to "the policies" like everything was the same in every case. This is ridicolous. How can wikipedia be a consultable and serious Encyclopedia when it butchers culture in this way?! I really hope somebody will come here and make it clear and no, we don't need to consult Google, check all the books and then tell the english authors they are doing an error. The most serene is a wrong choice, and Wikipedia acts like the tower of knowledge in The name of the rose, Eco was right on digital crowds, I won't tell you these as offences, but mere data, you can consult on Google what Eco has said and written, maybe some understanding will start to echo in this closed chamber we are in... Your call starting the querelle was really out of place and unprofessional: if person makes a change and describes the change is just in good faith. I really doubt that you are in good faith also as you presented yourself to me in first place: REVERT and COMMENT: you mysthical explanation doesn't stand.
Enjoy your hiding behind rules, rules are there because they are a limit, but not as a wall between discussion, actually a limit to discussion. This is what people in bad faith do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albero1 ( talk • contribs) 18:41, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

I concede that there was, of course, only one Eastern Roman Empire. The redirect of Eastern Roman Empires, the deletion tag of which I removed and you reinstated is, I concede, technically incorrect in that the final "s" should not be there. But the redirect, which another editor has replaced, is functionally correct. ---- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 21:42, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Constantine. I have Punic Wars up at GAN. All 118 years of them. Boiled down to under 7,000 words. I am hoping to move it on to FAC in short order, but would feel much happier if someone competent gave it a good kicking first. Your name sprang irresistibly to mind.

Hi Constantine,
I see that you’re busy. At your leisure, I pulled the Italian version of John (nephew of Vitalian) over to English. I think you created the stub for this years ago.

Hello:
The copy edit you requested of the article Alexios Komnenos (protosebastos) has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I believe that protosebastos in the title should be italicised, but I cannot see a way to do this. If you agree, perhaps you know how this is done.
All the best with article moving forward.

Cplakidas, you opened this GA nomination for review over a month ago, and have yet to return. I thought you might have forgotten about it. Will you be starting it soon, or should I arrange to have the review reverted and the nomination returned to the pool of those nominations awaiting a reviewer? While things aren't very busy now now, a GAN backlog drive will be starting on October 1, and if the last two are any indication, reviewers will be thick on the ground then. Thanks.
