Bath, Somerset, hillforts etc
Hi, I see you have been doing some tidying at Bath and improving my non expert terminology. Would you be kind enough to take a look at History of Somerset, List of hill forts and ancient settlements in Somerset and their linked articles and see if I've made the same mistakes elsewhere?— Rod talk 18:21, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Ancient astronauts
If you're interested, one of the editors I described to you at Pseudoarchaeology who frequently show up to push their fringe POV, is currently active at Ancient astronauts. They are seeking to cite everyone from IMDB to Legendary Times to wikipedia itself. Wanna take a look and offer advise? Heiro 22:44, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Netley Abbey
Thanks for your note on Netley Abbey and the issue of dating terminology. It's a very interesting question. Personally, I'd call the reign of Henry III, when the abbey was founded and (mostly) constructed, the High Middle Ages, a term that I know is unfashionable these days. To me, in the context of English monastic sites, 'late mediaeval' would imply dates after around 1300 and going on to the eve of the Dissolution. Netley is contemporary with the currently standing version of Westminster Abbey and, to me, it doesn't seem right to me to call that 'late mediaeval'. On the other hand, Netley is very late for an English monastic foundation, and especially so for a Cistercian one. I'd be interested in your views. Best wishes, Soph (talk) 14:54, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hi! Thanks so much for your kind words and explanation of the reasons. Yep, the term 'late mediaeval' is used differently by historians, particularly art and architectural historians (which is my background, rather than archaeology, as you can probably tell from the article), but it's an archaeological site so I think we should go with the terms currently used in the profession, so it's best doing it as you've suggested. In my experience these terms go in and out of fashion, in 20 years we'll all have to call things something different again!
- Sadly, Netley Abbey has not been excavated in modern times, which is a shame because there are lots of mysteries to clear up, such as where the missing infirmary complex was. The 1860s excavation reports are an example of the 19th century gentleman antiquarian in full flight, full of interesting details of now lost evidence, but also a horror story of terrible things they did to the site.

Dear Midnight Blue Owl!
Dear Midnight Blue Owl!
I'm reaching out to researchers and writers interested in the emerging, or re-emerging, movements inspired by ancient culture in the areas of religion/theology/mythology/culture...I spare-headed an artistic collaboration between a music professor, rock-vocalist and poet to create a modern multi-media experience of the cathardic journey inspired by ancient pagan poetic traditions; A romance to nature seen as a beautiful, divine and omnipotent woman.
It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries [aiding the rebirth of a government of, by and for the people] in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.
If you have a moment could you peruse the poetry project site. http://www.misbeliever.net As you are a worker in these areas, having ebhanced the Wikipedia, the world's greatest encyclopedia, I would be very honored with any remarks or critisms you could offer either me or my collaborators.
thanks much,
sincerely

Hugo Chavez article
Greetings.
Please add the following to the "Presidency" section of the Hugo Chavez article. Thank you:
Since 2003, Chavez has been setting strict price controls on food, and these price controls have been causing shortages and hoarding.[1] In January 2008, Chavez ordered the military to seize 750 tons of food that sellers were illegally trying to smuggle across the border to sell for higher prices than what was legal in Venezuela.[2] In February 2009, Chavez ordered the military to temporarily seize control of all the rice processing plants in the country and force them to produce at full capacity, which he claimed they had been avoiding in response to the price caps.[3] In May 2010, Chavez ordered the military to seize 120 tons of food from Empresas Polar.[4] In March 2009, Chavez set minimum production quotas for 12 basic foods that were subject to price controls, including white rice, cooking oil, coffee, sugar, powdered milk, cheese, and tomato sauce. Business leaders and food producers claimed that the government was forcing them to produce this food at a loss.[5] Chávez has nationalized many large farms. Chávez said of the farmland, "The land is not private. It is the property of the state." Some of the farmland that had been productive while under private ownership is now idle under government ownership, and some of the farm equipment sits gathering dust. As a result, food production has fallen substantially. One farmer, referring to the government officials overseeing the land redistribution, stated, "These people know nothing about agriculture."[6] Chávez has seized many supermarkets from their owners. Under government ownership, the shelves in these supermarkets are often empty.[7] In 2010, after the government nationalized the port at Puerto Cabello, more than 120,000 tons of food sat rotting at the port.[8] In May 2010, after price controls caused shortages of beef, at least 40 butchers were arrested, and some of them were held at a military base and later strip searched by police.[9]
Chavez's price controls have caused shortages of materials used in the construction industry.[10] Chavez has nationalized key industries, including telephone and electric,[11] steel,[12] and cement.[13] As a result of Chavez's nationalizations of the steel and cement industries, production has fallen substantially. Nationwide production of steel rods declined 20 percent in September 2010 compared with a year earlier. Cement output fell 40 percent in the second half of 2009. These shortages have caused new housing construction in 2010 to fall to less than half that of the previous year.[14] In 2010, the government's mismanagement of the nationalized oil industry was so severe that the country actually had to import gasoline, despite having some of the hugest oil reserves in the world. Also in 2010, the government's mismanagement of the nationalized electricity industry was causing shortages of electricity.[15] In December 2006, the Venezuelan government instituted a 15% tax on imported toilet paper, which it described as being a "luxury."[16] The 2010 Index of Economic Freedom ranked Venezuela 174th out of 179 countries.[17]
Because of Chavez's criticsm and legal attacks against the productive members of his country, the country has been experienceing a substantial brain drain. Doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, business owners, software developers, advertising account executives, scientists, classical musicians, and lawyers have been fleeing the country. Of this brain drain, an editorial in Investor's Business Daily declared, "Chavez talks a lot about Venezuela being a rich country, and extols its vast oil wealth. But the human capital he is throwing out is far more valuable... He's throwing away his country's biggest treasure."[18]

Dear Midnightblueowl
Hi, Steve Barnett here.
I have seen your Flatford Mill photograph (ref the 'Haywain' painting) on the Wiki site and I was hoping to have your permission to use it (non-exclusive book use) in a book of British walks/visits that I'm editing for a UK publisher.
Unfortunately I don't have any budget for purchasing photos for the book but in return for allowing the use of your photo, you and Wiki would be acknowledged in the book and you would receive a complimentary copy when it publishes.
Can I ask you to drop me a line pls asap - my email address is stevenzz@hotmail.com

Question on Totor
Hi, I just posted a question at Talk:Totor regarding the proper translation of "C.P. des Hannetons". I see that you were the original editor who translated this as "cockchafer" and I was wondering if you could provide some insights as to why you chose this word over the other possibilities that seem to exist. Did you translate the term yourself or is this the term preferred by Herge/Herge Foundation or the RS literature? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Midnightblueowl, hope things are going well. I noticed that you have been active in some articles about socialist history. I just reviewed an article about Wage reform in the Soviet Union at FAC and thought I'd mention it to you.

AC pages, stele data
Hello, and long time no "see". Lots of edits on the main AC article since you've edited, maybe you can take a run-through. And there is an interesting discussion about the stele of revealing going on here, at Above Top Secret]. One of the points is that in the Wikipedia article on it states that the stele was moved "around 1902" from the museum that Crowley says he saw it in in 1904. Many of the people interested in AC at Above Top Secret have logged into this thread, so it is a place to add your knowledge as well as to see if the factual data is correct or has gone astray. Thanks, and enjoy. Aleister Wilson 11:46 April 18, 2012 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and the AC page may need a look or may not. I'm surprised it isn't semi-protected. Did you check out the Above Top Secret link in the above post? It's a thread you might enjoy, and be able to add some information too. It's best to sign into ATS as a signed-in member, too many ads otherwise, and information is lost to non-signed-in people (avatars, best posts in a thread as shown by stars, etc.) Aleister Wilson 2:15 22-4-'12

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
I wonder if you wouldn't mind checking something related to a book reference you added. In the article The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, can you confirm if the word "succesful" (which should be "successful") is a typo in Wikipedia or was misspelled at source? Many thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 12:47, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
