Thanks, that's great, I just wanted to convey my old thoughts (I was doing that too). Many other wikis have "featured articles", and translating them is quite straightforward (yes, time consuming). One issue is sourcing - we can't trust unreferenced information. Prose might get nicely polished, but the facts could be POVish or plain wrong. Unfortunately, many other wikis don't demand referencing, and I had to research that independently. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 09:07, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Awarded to Jmabel with a veeeeeerrrrryyy great thanks for taking the time to write a proper encyclopedia article for Andalusia. Unfortunely most of the articles on Spain, Italy and France are diabolical, even those on major provinces and regions let alone municipalities, but this article is extremely well written and contains what is most important, referenced content. Keep up the great work and may you improve many more Spanish place articles!! Dr. Blofeld White cat 23:19, 15 December 2009 (UTC) |

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kenneth Callahan Maritime 01.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:39, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Picardo Venus 05.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

dont worry, you will . fiestaa! =DD --Venerock (talk) 02:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, I'm afraid that I haven't understood your problems with the article (far better that the one I wrote for the Spanish Wikipedia). If you feel more comfortable writing in English, please, do so and I'll try to help you. Although my English is far from perfect, I can manage to understand most of any text, so possibly a conversation in English will be much more productive. We can talk in this Wikipedia. Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 21:34, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, with regard to the Pastrana's page, I'm feeling equally unconfortable with it as you. However, I guess it's difficult to find a better source. I'll try to do it and come with better references. Again, thank you for your effort. --Ecemaml (talk) 23:21, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
I read the article 1833 territorial division of Spain, and found it highly interesting. However, what about Ceuta and Melilla. They are marked as grey dots on the map, but not mentioned in the text. --Soman (talk) 11:00, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
As the heading says: all the best in the new year. Incidentally, I just happened to catch a glance of the History of Bucharest subcategorizing on commons the other day - much needed and meticulous, kudos! Dahn (talk) 21:51, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, as far as I understand, "corporación" in this context is "City Council". On the other hand, it seems that Valle de Villaverde (formerly named as Villaverde de Trucíos, that information is missing in the article) did ask for the integration in the autonomous community of the Basque Country (see here). However, what definitely needs a source is the statement about the PRC doing such a request. Now it's too late (0:45 AM) and I'm going to sleep, but tomorrow I can do some searches. Don't forget to do the searches using "Villaverde de Trucíos". Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 23:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jmabel, I've been working in the Villaverde issue and I have found different references that possibly will be helpful:
On the other hand, the reason to include Villaverde, as with Treviño was simply that in 1833 they were "señoríos" (possessions of the nobility, I don't know how to translate it). Thus, as they were abolished, they were integrated into the closest regular province (the Basque provinces and Navarre were a special type of territories and therefore, that rule didn't apply).
The second issue is related to this article. According to your references (which seem OK), there were no regions in the 1822 division (see División provisional del territorio español de 27 de Enero de 1822 since it didn't mention any region).
Hope it helps. Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 22:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I've finished the update of en:Valle de Villaverde. You could possibly find useful some references in there. Regards (and thank you for the challenges :-)) --Ecemaml (talk) 00:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jmabel, seeing you still around - would you be so kind and take a look into a small thing I have been editing during the last week? (Actually terribly much work to get the statistics, but the article itself is short and painless I hope, yet you know, I always make these German mistakes.) So much obliged, --Olaf Simons (talk) 14:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, in the sentence you're referring to Martín Alonso Pinzón is the grammatical subject (though omitted, as Spanish language not only allows, but actually encourages).
The sentence in Spanish, with an explicit grammatical subject, would be as follows: "otras muchas [cosas] [él] me tiene hecho y dicho" or also "otras muchas [cosas] me tiene hecho y dicho [él]". So, the translation could be something such as "He has said and done [such things] to me". But always with "he" (Martín Alonso Pinzón) as subject. Mind that the original sentence in Spanish is somehow archaic (mainly in the construction of the sentence, setting first the object and then the subject; the omission of the subject is as usual as in current Spanish; also the archaic use of "tener" instead of "haber" for the present perfect tense) and currently it would have been said in a way similar to "[él] me ha hecho y dicho otras muchas [cosas]". Hope it helps. Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 21:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, I'll review the translation, but I'm currently finishing an article on my own, so I won't be able to do the review until tonight (Spanish time). Hope it's OK (on the other hand, I don't know whether I'll be able to properly review your translation, but possibly a "translation" to modern Spanish would be equally helpful, wouldn't it be?). Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 07:43, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, the modern Spanish "translation" would be as follows:
Debido al mucho viento del Este y del Sudeste que había no partió este día, por lo que mandó que la carabela se aprovisionase de agua, leña y de todo lo necesario para el viaje, porque tenía voluntad de bordear toda la costa de La Española que pudiese. Sin embargo, los que puso en las carabelas por capitanes (eran hermanos, a saber Martín Alonso Pinzón y Vicente Yáñez), y otros que le seguían, lo hacían con soberbia y codicia estimando que todo era ya suyo, sin apreciar el honor que el Almirante les había hecho y les había dado, y no habían obedecido ni obedecían sus órdenes. De hecho hacían y decían muchas cosas no debidas contra él. Más aún, Martín Alonso lo abandonó desde el 21 de noviembre hasta el 6 de enero sin causa alguna ni razón sino simplemente por su desobediencia, todo lo cual el Almirante lo había sufrido y callado para llevar a buen puerto su viaje. Así que, por evitar tan mala compañía, con los que decía que había que disimular, aunque eran gente sin ley, y aunque decía que tenía consigo muchos hombres de bien, al no ser el momento de castigos, acordó volverse y no parar más, con la mayor prisa que le fue posible ...
With regard to your proposal I have minor corrections:
With such strong winds from the east and southeast he did not leave that day, because of which he ordered that the caravel be supplied with water and firewood and all that was necessary for the entire voyage, because although he intended to travel by ship along that whole Hispaniola coast all what he could, but, because those he put in the caravels for commanders, brothers, to wit Martín Alonso Pinzón and Vicente Yáñez, and others who followed him with arrogance and greed estimating that everything was already theirs, not looking at the honor the Admiral had given them, they had not obeyed and did not obey his commands, before they had said and done many unmerited things against him, and this Martín Alonso left him from 21 November until 6 January without any cause or reason except disobedience, all of which the Admiral had suffered and been silent to bring a good end to his voyage, so that, to leave behind such bad company, with whom he says that it was necessary to dissimulate, although they were lawless people, and though he had to say that while with them that they were good men, because it was not the time to speak of punishment, he agreed to return and stop no more, as quickly as was possible ...
And finally I don't feel confortable with your translation of the sentence "y aunque tenía dice que consigo muchos hombres de bien", which I translate into modern Spanish as "y aunque decía que tenía consigo muchos hombres de bien" (although I don't actually understand). The issue here is that your translation seems more sensible than a literal translation. On the other hand, don't worry about the idiom "todo [lo] que andando el camino pudiese". It means more or less "as much as possible". And yes, it was a Genoese drunken academic ;-)
As told before, don't hesitate to contact me whenever you need help. Best regards --Ecemaml (talk) 22:10, 14 January 2010 (UTC) PS: the Spanish name of Hispaniola es es:La Española

Excellent work on this article, Jmabel. Thank you very much! --Polylerus (talk) 17:15, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
It is a really good piece of work. Unfortunetly, when I checked it for DYK with Shubinators tool it's not quite a 5x expansion. It was about 5430 chars before and you got it up to 20870 (unfortunetly the notes don't count). So it needs a bit more (I'm leaving the comment here rather than on DYK page because I'm not sure if you're still expanding it).
As a personal aside I do think that the 5x requirement for extensions for DYK noms is a bit ridiculous (and apparantly chosen only for sake of "symmetry" with the "5 days old" for new noms) precisely for this reason; you can do one helluva improvement to an article and still not meet the criteria.radek (talk) 21:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I do not use rollback in "content disputes" and I really do not appreciate you going to WQA, making an untrue allegation against me. I chose to ignore your "warning" because a) it was untrue and you seem to be close to Ecemaml who frequently introduces contentious edits on Gibraltar related articles and doesn't engage in talk when requested to do so. I have made a polite request that he stays away from my talk page, because whenever I have to interact with him he is tendentious, argumentative and confrontational. He continues to do so nonetheless and when he does I will remove his postings and any proxy doing so on his behalf. Justin talk 21:56, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
