Battle of Philippi, Virginia

You may be interested to see some extensive changes I've made to this page. I hope you are not offended by my wholesale re-writing. I felt it needed to be more clear in particular about troop dispositions prior to the battle and I've made changes based on the Official Records. I don't have access to your sources cited to know if modern historians are aware of any discrepancies in the original reports, so you may want to check what I've written.

It can still use footnotes for some specific details not available in all the sources - i.e. McLennan's intentions towards Richmond, and the actions of the Confederate sympathizer who tried to warn them of the Union attack. If you added those details, can you please footnote them?

You can also look at what I've done for the Battle of Big Bethel too.

Sorry about the delayed response. No problem with rewriting as long as improvements result. I've done some light format editing, but don't presently have much time for more detailed research into possible source discrepancies. Hal Jespersen (talk) 22:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

happy 2009!

Move of German subdivisions

Hi there, I seen that you moved a subdivision of Wiesbaden (e.g. Wiesbaden-Bierstadt). I thought in the English wiki, the German names of subdivisions should be the original name like Bierstadt? See: Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Conventions#German_abbreviations. Just for your information. Thank you and greetings Sebastian scha. (talk) 16:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Macedonian help needed

Hello Nomadic Whitt, I'm contacting you because we need some Macedonian translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on mk.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Macedonian Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 18:10, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Yamhad

hello . thanks for editing the poor English and reorganizing the intro but you are deleting important information with sources to back it . why ? Attar-Aram syria

It was not my intention to delete any sourced information. I was mainly trying rearrange things in a more logical order and make the language more concise. If you feel I deleted anything, please feel free to add it back to the article. Nomadic Whitt (talk) 06:54, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

thank you , English is not my mother tongue and i could need help if i made some mistake , i appreciate it .. and you organized the article in a better way i admit . but you added that armani was close to ebla until the later destruction but the akkadian destroyed both cities and not only ebla .. plus aleppo would have never been so important if it wasnt a holy city and you deleted that too .. in the tablets of ebla its said that the king of ebla made a Pilgrim to Aleppo which indicate that it was a holy place and this is an important reason for the city later prominence and you deleted this too .. i would appreciate it that we have a discussion before deleting so that we don't give readers the wrong information's Attar-Aram syria thanks again —Preceding undated comment added 07:05, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

I was just deleting a repetition of the same statement. You had already said it was a religious center. That is the same as a Holy City. I do see how the "City of Hadad" information was relevant.Nomadic Whitt (talk) 07:12, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

hello you have a point with the word alter ego but im using giovanni words ... as for the destruction : ebla wasnt razed to the ground niether was aleppo . the akkadians burned the palaces an destroyed a lot but the population didnt went extinct, ebla even formed a new kingdom but never regained it's former glory Attar-Aram syria —Preceding undated comment added 07:24, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
