Enigmatic blocking

I am user Yoshamya (i.e. doc.Dr. A.Z.Lovric) from Croatia, also participating as the founder in Croatian Metapedia version, as its first bureaucrat and administrator, where I contributed with 2/3 of all presented texts there.

However, on April 24, 2017, I was suddenly blocked, eliminated and erased from Cro version - without any logic and reasonable explanation. Then now its new self-declated sysop & leader became 'Horouathos879' (a former Bot). Please, can you me explain what it was and why happened ? Yoshamya 23:00, 26 April 2017.

Absolutely no idea whatsoever. I did not even know we had a Croatian version (although that is to be welcomed!). Have you asked any other admins? Matt58 08:40, 27 April 2017 (CEST)

User rights

Please restore my user rights.NatAll75 (talk) 20:47, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

You have inserted errors and harmful, false information in numerous articles as well as material that can be interpreted as pro-violence and supportive of crime. Your are likely one of several editors who have rather successfully in the past attempted to destroy Metapedia by filling it with ridiculous, unreliable, and dangerous material. Upplysning (talk) 21:12, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

All decisions to ban other users should be placed with the CEO. Matt58 (talk) 08:11, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Could you restore my Administrator User Rights? Also it would be helpful if others did not revert my edits. I need to correct the minimization done to my articles and restore those that were deleted by Upplysning. NatAll75 (talk) 15:38, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Urgent matter

Please contact the Swedish Bureaucrats and have them remove Upplysning. He is destroying this wiki. Once he is removed we can restore the articles he has deleted. Thanks. NatAll75 (talk) 10:02, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

They are onto him. Matt58 (talk) 21:12, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Restore some pages

Could you restore pages like murdoch murdoch, kai murros, sean hannity and glenn beck, that Upplysning removed? Estellenation (talk) 15:57, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

I will have a look. If he completely deleted them it may need a Metapedia bureaucrat's expertise to restore them.Matt58 (talk) 17:05, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

I restored Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. But the pages need some attention on the language. Try to avoid to call people (that are not jewish) Zionist unless it can be verified. --Spoof (talk) 17:30, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Estellenation (talk) 18:16, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

I have come across men who describe themselves as Zionists and Feminists who are neither Jews or females. It therefore may be necessary to say that is how they describe themselves? Matt58 (talk) 09:32, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Other pages have been all but erased, such as the French National Rally Party, despite the fact that information on such parties is highly valued by visitors to Metapedia, who do not trust the mainstream garbage. I shall have to review this and other pages to see what can be done. Matt58 (talk) 10:11, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Could you make the pages Adolf Hitler, Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi and Pornography unprotected? Estellenation (talk) 15:31, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

OK I have done that but as you have requested this I would ask you to to help me keep and eye on these pages for obvious reasons. Matt58 (talk) 16:55, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. No problem. --Estellenation (talk) 21:23, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Could you make the pages Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, Eva Braun, Nordic race and Black Lives Matter unprotected? Estellenation (talk) 11:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Done. Matt58 (talk) 14:59, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Estellenation (talk) 18:08, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Estellenation

Hello, Matt, do you know Estellenation personally? Upplysning "retires" 1 June 2021, on 10 June 2021 Estellenation shows up. Coincidence? His contributions in the last days: Returning articles to the way Upplysning would have liked it. Please be careful, these methods will hinder others on returning and working. Please decide together with others (if there are any), what the future of MP should look like. I have been here since 7 June 2010‎. Respect? Recognition? No, I am not asking for that, but it would be great, if someone who has been here for only six months does not just destroy work by pushing one undo-button ... without any discussion. --Crusader (talk) 17:03, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I have been active on Metapedia since 2017, on the Norwegian Metapedia (2017-2021) and then here on English Metapedia (2021-) after the retirement of Upplysning. I have only disagreed with 10 to 15 percent of the changes by Crusader so far and i am being compared now with Upplysning... I think all of us three agree that Upplysning went too far with his admin status and unnecessary reduced content on many articles and deletion of articles. But he did also some fine work like removing old Wikipedia copypaste, unclear statements, weird material and unclear copyright. I think Crusader is doing damage by undo a lot of revisions by Upplysning, some I understand but to undo everything he did is ridiculous. --Estellenation (talk) 23:29, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I hear what you both say and I too am of the opinion that Upplysning unnecessarily deleted countless articles and subbed others badly. I had a terrible time with him because anyone who disagreed with him was instantly banned. As though he was some kind of monumental genius on every subject. This attitude brought about his demise, despite much of the excellent work he contributed. I will be happy to arbitrate if the two of you cannot reach a compromise. Just contact me. Meanwhile I will police things daily. Matt58 (talk) 11:02, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I too am suspicious of this individual. The day I come back and correct my articles Upplysning made changes to, they are undon by Esttllenation. NatAll75 (talk) 15:56, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

I have not undon the articles I have just removed broken links and done som improvements (looks cleaner). --Estellenation (talk) 18:55, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Please unlock

Please unlock Brandenburgers, German Air Force, Luftwaffe, Foreign military volunteers and National Socialist Germany, and United States Air Force. I hope you can reach NatAll75, who worked hard so many years. --Crusader (talk) 17:03, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Please unlock, a lot of wrong information, especially to USAF. --Crusader (talk) 15:49, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

It is unblocked. Matt58 (talk) 16:38, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, are the rest also unblocked? Am I seeing it wrong? --Crusader (talk) 17:17, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

I think so. There are literally hundreds of blocks to be looked at. Whilst we had some good work in the past we also had a few nutters who were going to bring MP into disrepute by the outrageous and unsourced things they were posting. On top of that we had the 'personality' issues and these brought more blocks. So I will get to them all eventually. It is easier to block an individual poster than an article. Why should everyone be barred because of one person? Matt58 (talk) 17:21, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Please look into my article Brandenburgers, I would like to work on it on the weekend. --Crusader (talk) 17:35, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Please unprotect Rudolf Heß! --Crusader (talk) 21:09, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Germanic peoples

Germanic peoples is a nice article from NatAll75, which I have also worked on. Possibly protect it to avoid edit war. In no way am I "undoing everything", just a few (maybe 10, maybe 100) important articles. Thousands have been damaged, thousands forever erased. There is nothing we can do about that, but we can save the little, what is worth saving. --Crusader (talk) 02:29, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I hope we can save and restore much more. Matt58 (talk) 07:58, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Mobile view

I have a general question. Most vieweres today are using smartphones (android or iphone) or surfpads. Just a few uses stationary computers. Daniel Friberg installed a "mobile view" on Metapedia as seen on bottom of page. But if you open Metapedia on your smartphone you can see that the main page is totally of centre. The layout is also a bit dated.

What need to be done is to create a new Main page that fits on the smartphone. A lot of the portals also need a makeover. I think that we can get some inspiration from Wikipedia on this, using CSS and so forth. My programming skills for this is not too good. Does anyone have the programming skills or know someone that can make a new Main page and a new layout for the portals to fit both staionary and mobile view? --Spoof (talk) 13:16, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I am not very IT literate. So that counts me out. I do not have a smartphone, et al. I only have a very old ordinary mobile phone which I use when I am travelling. I can make and receive calls. Nothing else. I think an awful lot of people use laptops, though. Matt58 (talk) 14:01, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

References

This is now showing Dutton, Edward, Witches, Feminism, and the Fall of the West, Radix & Washington Summit Pubs., 2021, ISBN: 978-1-59368-078-7 on many articles under References. Because of the Template:References.--Estellenation (talk) 14:42, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, sorry. My mistake. I think I have fixed that. Can you let me know if that is the case. Matt58 (talk) 15:14, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism

A new user called User:Polishboy124 is doing vandalism and should be blocked! --Estellenation (talk) 23:25, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks. Can you direct me to the vandalism? Your user link appears to go nowhere.Matt58 (talk) 11:27, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Everything can be seen on Recent changes or here: https://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Polishboy124. --Estellenation (talk) 13:24, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks. I see User:Aurvandil has blocked him today. Please revert anything this rogue has done if you think it necessary. Matt58 (talk) 14:28, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Other

Whats up with User:Crusader adding the algiz rune into many articles? Is this a new policy here on English metapedia? Just curious. --Estellenation 14:35, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

User:Estellenation could have asked User:Crusader personally. ᛉ = born; ᛣ = died. As Metapedia we go new, alternativ ways, no need to copy everything WP does. Not a new policy, not an old policy. No rules for or against it, just a special touch, which makes biographical articles very clear, especially when not using an infobox. --Crusader (talk) 20:25, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

I for one have never seen these and they mean nothing to me at all. No British or American genealogist (I see Crusader has slipped in a German genealogy reference but this is the English-language Metapedia) would know what they stood for. Maybe best to stick with recogniseable age-old things. However if you wish me to get a ruling on this I can do that.Matt58 (talk) 17:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

I personally think it can be confusing to people visiting Metapedia (having runes symbols added to articles). --Estellenation 13:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. My reasons are above. Matt58 (talk) 13:16, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Maybe get a ruling on this then? --Estellenation 14:09, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

OK. Matt58 (talk) 09:03, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Bureaucrat's decision: runes are not part of the Latin alphabet and should not replace b. d. m. Matt58 (talk) 12:49, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Pictures

Matt, since Midnight (c. 19 hours ago) pictures cannot be uploaded ("Could not store file "/tmp/phpFRBix5" at "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/8/89/ ..."), can you fix the situation? Thanks. --Crusader (talk) 17:27, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Will check. Matt58 (talk) 06:49, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Matt58, we are still having grave problems with uploading pictures. Is there anything you can do? Or does the problem lie in Sweden? Thanks. --Crusader (talk) 12:44, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I have been frantically busy this month. I will see what the problem is.Matt58 (talk) 16:04, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Looks like it's working now. --Estellenation (talk) 16:24, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Matt, just letting you know, since c. 28 hours it has been impossible to upload pictures. Maybe another system overhaul which we have experienced before. --Crusader (talk) 13:59, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

I have reported it. I also cannot upload them. Matt58 (talk) 17:20, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Good day, Matt, just want to let you know, as of now it is once again possible to upload pictures. --Crusader (talk) 12:50, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Matt, you have probably already noticed, as in the night from 1 to 2 August 2023, now, exactly 6 months later, in the night from 1 to 2 February 2024, it is once again become impossible to upload pictures (maybe a semi-annual routine?). Please report. Thanks! --Crusader (talk) 18:36, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Legionary Movement

Could you make the page Legionary Movement unprotected? --Estellenation (talk) 22:10, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Done. Matt58 (talk) 18:24, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

List of current nationalist organizations

Could you add parties to the name of this page: List of current nationalist organizations? --Estellenation (talk) 19:55, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

It does say "and parties" in the lead description. I think to add to the already long title would be clumsy.Matt58 (talk) 13:24, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay. Since most of the list is political parties it would probably have been best to include it in the title and not only in the description. --Estellenation (talk) 15:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

I think best to just leave it alone. 'Organisations' is a broad church. Matt58 (talk) 15:59, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Sources

Hey Matt, just replying to your comment on my Talk page. How does Metapedia define "reliable independent source"? I looked around the site for a guide on this but didn't see one. HmmInterdasting (talk) 04:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Frankly, if you need an explanation of what a reliable independent source is you maybe should think about your editing on Metapedia. Have a look at, say, Causes of World War I or the Treaty of Versailles for examples. Matt58 (talk) 08:52, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

If you can't define the types of sources that are accepted, then you maybe should think about your admining on Metapedia. HmmInterdasting (talk) 20:59, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Don't be a smart-alec with me. Add proper sources or be blocked.Matt58 (talk) 15:43, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Gentiles

Would you please redirect the small article Gentile to the larger artcle Gentiles? Thanks. --Crusader (talk) 15:42, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

There is literally nothing of any substance on the stub. Maybe just delete? Matt58 (talk) 15:46, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

That would be good, it was protected, so I couldn't do it. --Crusader (talk) 16:42, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Obama

The Barack Obama article (protected) needs to be updated. --Estellenation (talk) 21:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Template:Infobox military person

Would you please take a look, the infobox is not showing birthdate, place and so on when used. Maybe you are able to repair it? Thanks. --Crusader (talk) 23:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Not sure what I am looking at here. Could you explain? Matt58 (talk) 15:21, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I have big problems with the html language. In the template one can find "placeofbirth", "placeofdeath", and so on, but when used in an article, this information is not shown. We probably need an expert, but I'm not one. Thanks anyway. --Crusader (talk) 22:20, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I read this and i know a little bit about CSS and HTML from swedish Metapedia. I added birth and death date to the template. Looks good now. --Spoof (talk) 16:56, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Just press F5 to update the page. --Spoof (talk) 17:00, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Certainly this one needs tidying up. There is no obvious connexion, for instance, between the different units involved. Matt58 (talk) 09:54, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

I will work on this today! --Crusader (talk) 17:08, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Finished. I think it is more clear now. --Crusader (talk) 19:55, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Would you please restore Motörhead and Lemmy? Thanks! --Crusader (talk) 19:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Cannot find those pages. Matt58 (talk) 09:20, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Too bad, normally anything Upplysning has deleted (why would he do that???) can be restored with your administrator rights. Archive: Motörhead; Archive: Lemmy

yes, that is an internet web archive but as far as I can see they have been absolutely deleted from Metapedia. Upplysning was a law unto himself and never consulted anyone. Just criticised. He was perfect. Matt58 (talk) 10:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks anyway! --Crusader (talk) 15:21, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

I Restored Lemmy and Motorhead thanks to my magical skills. It could be good to replace missing pictures also. --Spoof (talk) 18:05, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

An perhaps the articles should not be all cut and paste from Wikipedia.--Spoof (talk) 18:08, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

IMO it is debateable whether Metapedia should carry pages about such dregs and monstrous 'music'. Matt58 (talk) 12:12, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, I will work on them. I am trying unsuccesfully to upload pictures at the moment, but maybe the system is being cleaned? --Crusader (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Anything is possible. Last week it was overloaded and unavailable for 8 hours. Matt58 (talk) 12:12, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Third day not able to upload pictures. Please keep me informed when this problem gets fixed. --Crusader (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Please restore Stalinist crimes (negationism) and Libya and the Third Reich. --Crusader (talk) 14:19, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

I have restored these latter two but they need significant work to make them encyclopaedic and relevant. Matt58 (talk) 14:26, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I will get right to that. Is it possible to restore the Stalin picture? --Crusader (talk) 14:46, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

There is something wrong with pictures again. I have asked for this to be looked into. I cannot load any and it would not allow me to restore that photo. Matt58 (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Done. Virtually everything which has been deleted and protected was done by Upplysning. He could be seen as the enemy within. Matt58 (talk) 13:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

So true, Matt. Happy Easter! --Crusader (talk) 16:14, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

We cannot have a page entitled Neuschwabenland as it is in German and which presumably means New Swabia. What is the difference between Swabia and New Swabia?? Matt58 (talk) 15:42, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Swabia is in Southern Germany, New Swabia (deleted by Upplysning) in the Antarctic. --Crusader (talk) 16:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes I am very familiar with Swabia and where it is. Not with the "New" version, hence my question. I had no idea it was in the Antarctica, so one learns something every day! Matt58 (talk) 17:34, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Change of language

I am unaware what can be done here. Normally if you have an account on the Spanish Metapedia you would have to open a new account on the English-language Metapedia. Also as some people have "misbehaved" on other language Metapedia sites the idea of a new vetting seems good.Matt58 (talk) 13:27, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Well... my account was created a few days ago; I did not specify the language and I thought that it could be changed without having more accounts. I was looking for an administrator so that I can register in Spanish Metapedia. Mohamed_Ch (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Where was your account created? You need an administrator from Spanish Metapedia to join that. Matt58 (talk) 14:54, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Adolf Hitler and art

Please look into this article. User:NatAll75 seems to have restored it, but he forgot to restore the pictures, which is possible as an administrator. They need to be restored, but Nat seems not to be active. --Crusader (talk) 19:37, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I will have a look. I have been very busy lately and have not had the time to devote.Matt58 (talk) 12:06, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

There is a Metapedia page Art in the Third Reich. I wonder if the Hitler page should be changed to "Adolf Hitler and His Art"? Matt58 (talk) 17:23, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Maybe, but because their is also the section about his love for architecture it might stay the same. --Crusader (talk) 19:58, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

But architecture falls under art, no? Matt58 (talk) 10:56, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, and also his love for music, plays, etc. I think, if we name the article Adolf Hitler and his art, then it could only mean the art he personally made, Adolf Hitler and the arts would describe his art, but also his love of art. But if you would like to change the article name, I have no issue with that. --Crusader (talk) 19:50, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Redirect

Please redirect Treaty of St.Germain to Treaty of St. Germain. --Crusader (talk) 20:16, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Why? Just for a space? Matt58 (talk) 11:32, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, we should also be a role model for correct grammar, right? ;-) You're the expert, not I. I have learned a lot from your corrections, that is why I was surprised to see St.Germain, not St. Germain. Am I wrong? Either St. or St (British); the British rule: If the abbreviation includes both the first and last letter of the abbreviated word, as in mister, saint and doctor, a full stop is not used. (Oxford A–Z of Grammar and Punctuation by John Seely) I personally like Dr., Mr., St., but as both rules are possible, that shouldn't be a problem. --Crusader (talk) 13:57, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

The rule is that all abbreviations have a full stop after them. For instance, Mr without the full stop is actually meaningless as in itself it is not a word. Being absolutely correct, if the abbreviation continues with a sentence (as opposed to Mr or a single word, like a saint: St) then the abbreviation should be followed by a full stop and then a comma. It is a hair-splitting part of grammar and slowly being disregarded as a majority of the population speak bad English and their comprehension is even worse.Matt58 (talk) 13:53, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

I understand, thanks. Maybe redirect to Treaty of Saint Germain? --Crusader (talk) 14:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

By the way, I am sure you have noticed, we are not able to upload pictures since yesterday. Maybe you can report this upstairs. Thanks! --Crusader (talk) 15:28, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

I had not noticed. I will look into it. Matt58 (talk) 08:18, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Please see my reply here User talk:Aurvandil. I do not agree with the picture (bad optics and unnecessary) added by Crusader. Do you have an opinion on this? --Estellenation 22:43, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Estellenation 12:40, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

The picture is passable. I have changed the caption to make it more neutral. Matt58 (talk) 17:22, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

English language

I am constantly telling people that this is the English language Metapedia. Likewise what is the point of putting links and citing sources which are in some other language and which cannot be accessed at all by English-speakers? It is beyond belief. I will start simply deleting entire pages and banning users if they do not adhere to this rule. Matt58 (talk) 13:32, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete?

Please take a look at this article (List of documentaries about the JFK assassination) ... "documentaries", but in the first sentence is "books" and only one entry. Do we need this article? --Crusader (talk) 22:35, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Done. Matt58 (talk) 09:18, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! --Crusader (talk) 18:20, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Please take a look at White Lives Matter. One-and-a-half sentences with no real context. No sources, no categories and so on. And another one: Charles Krafft --Crusader (talk) 00:20, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

I see we are joined by a new member who is responsible for the White Lives Matter sentence. I have left a message on his Talk page. Matt58 (talk) 12:03, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

I have tried to help him, but he does not react to my suggestions. He creates many categories like this without adding a category. He loves putting everything in Italic (e. g. Kurt Hildebrandt), no birth date, nothing about life or career. Please keep an eye on it, maybe he will take your help. --Crusader (talk) 15:48, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Another beauty ... still no reaction to my objections, instead, new articles are being installed. --Crusader (talk) 20:16, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

I am onto him. If he does not give credible responses to me then I shall ban him. Matt58 (talk) 10:22, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

It's great to see that you are diligent, but please cut Johnny Bravo some slack. He is an old contributor and friend of Metapedia who did plenty of excellent work in the past. Give him some time to get warmed up. I will remind him to respond to questions and pointers on talk pages. --Aurvandil (talk) 11:36, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello friends! I apologize for not responding. It has been some time since I have used this platform. I responded to Matt58 on my talk page just now. Thank you for rerouting the Kurt Hildebrandt page I set up to Kurt Florentin Hildebrandt. I had recently just learned about him and a work by him. I did not know anything else about him but wanted to start a page on him I could add to as I discovered more. He seems like an interesting person and I was excited to read the page that had already been put together. Had I realized he already had a page with his full name, I would have just added to it. As far as the italicizing of page titles go, I saw it on one page and thought that was how it was supposed to be. If not, I can go back and undo that anywhere I did it. Thank you gentlemen for your patience with me. Johnny Bravo (talk) 12:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, JohnnyBravo, please Italic only (if at all) in articles about books and publications. People, organizations and so on without. Thanks. --Crusader (talk) 23:05, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Ok, sounds good! Johnny Bravo (talk) 23:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Platon

Would this be your field of expertise? We really need an article on him. Thanks! --Crusader (talk) 17:57, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

My academic qualifications are in modern history although I obviously have significant knowledge in things pre-modern. The only Platon I know of was an Orthodox cleric. Do you mean Plato? Matt58 (talk) 18:30, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your hard work

Hey Matt, wanted to just say that I really appreciate your hard and amazing work on these very important articles: World War I, Causes of World War I, World War II and Causes of World War II. These are easily in the top ten articles here on Metapedia if you ask me. --Estellenation (talk) 23:55, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Many thanks. It is so important that people know the truth - who was really responsible for everything. My work on the Treaty of Versailles too. Our job is to trash the Allies' propaganda and the "victors' histories". Matt58 (talk) 10:10, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
