Washington Square Village

I was in the middle of adding several references to New York Times articles, while I was typing up my response to the AfD, and it is truly remarkable that we both wrote nearly the same thing. Reading the 45-50 year-old articles and seeing the cavalier attitude of Robert Moses and his supported to what he perceived as "slums" makes one appreciate how much more could have been lost without a Jane Jacobs to take on the high and mighty. Let me know if I can help further with the article. Alansohn 06:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Battle of Serres

I think you know that the Byzantines swore to support the Bulgarians in 1205 but after the victory at Adrianople the Byzantine nobility betrayed them and sided with their occupiers, the Crusaders. Is the word "betray" is never mentioned in Wikipedia and is that not a betrayal? Also for the Greek towns the word "liberated" is used, so why shouldn't we use it for the Bulgarian towns?--Gligan (talk) 13:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that participating in two edit wars means that I am systematically involved in them, it would be nice if you return your words. Perhaps "liberation" is a strong word indeed, I will add retake or reconquer. As for the betrayal of the Byzantines I will present sources. In fact that was my initial idea for all battles in the Bulgarian-Latin Wars but currently I don't have time to go to the library and only wrote the articles without putting citations. Now I will edit the battle of Serres again because at one point you changed the meaning. See the edition and improve it if necessary. --Gligan (talk) 18:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The Byzantines did not had any strongholds in Moesia or along the Danube except for Varna at that point, so please don't change the point of the article, you are not following the logic.

Those lands were Bulgarian from the time of the First Empire, this is why the word is retaken.

And the Bulgarians took the initiative in the war from 1190, I don't understand what is your problem with that. --Gligan (talk) 21:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Gio.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Gio.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 16:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:WSV-plan2.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:WSV-plan2.gif.
