Speedy deletion nomination of Citadel Alba Carolina
[edit]Hello Radioactive Pixie Dust,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Citadel Alba Carolina for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

- You can go ahead if you wish; I don't mind at all. I didn't even mean to create it as an article anyways, I wanted to make it a draft. Radioactive Pixie Dust (talk) 23:41, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
Ways to improve Citadel Alba Carolina
[edit]Hi, I'm Boleyn. Radioactive Pixie Dust, thanks for creating Citadel Alba Carolina!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your source(s).
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

- I added links to its corresponding articles on the German, Romanian, and Hungarian wikis, so that would be a sort of template we could use for the article.
- The problem is that most references on the other Wikipedias are written in Romanian or some other foreign language I could not understand, and there's a rule that you should not cite anything you haven't seen yourself, so if you know any thing I could do about that please tell me :) Radioactive Pixie Dust (talk) 03:11, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for responding. It is a tricky one, but other Wikipedias aren't WP:RELIABLESOURCES in themselves, and I wouldn't translate them unless you can read the sources. Often there will come up a box asking if you want to translate the page into English, but I didn't find that with these sources. I think the best option then is what you have done - a short article - and Google the place which should bring up some good sources in English. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 07:46, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi there- I saw your post at Editor Assistance, went and did some digging and added some sources that might be useful. A couple are in Romanian, but I find the translate function built into the Chrome browser (appears as a little "GR" symbol on the top right) is good at translating Romanian text on most webpages. Curdle (talk) 15:54, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
- How did you find those sources? Just curious to know. -Radioactive Pixie Dust (talk) 16:18, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
- No.3 is from google books thats always worth a try if you are looking; just be careful and google the publisher because they also have self published stuff. This book is from the University of Valencia, so should be ok. Sometimes you only get "snippet" previews which arent good enough to use as sources though. No. 4 was a ref from the Romanian wikipedia; looks like a respectable history magazine, and according to several websites the author is the director of the museum in Alba Iulia. I think I got no.5 by looking up the Town hall's new url after I noticed that ref 2 was from an archived page.
- I did find this but I doubt its a very reliable website-it looks a bit dodgy, and the language is rather flowery.
- Also did a bit of looking around military fortifications articles in Wikipedia itself hunting for background information and sources (as I dont know much about forts); there is some authorative sounding material in Bastion fort, but unfortunately its mostly unreferenced. It was awkward sorting through all the touristy cruft, and most of the academic material was about the "rebranding" of the town, which is annoying. There should be information about the restoration of the citadel somewhere, because it likely needed archaelogical surveys and research etc but I havent managed to track it down yet. I wonder if they reference it in the bibliography of those conference papers you found? nope..all branding stuff. It should make an interesting article; a bit about the Roman history, then construction of a state of the art fortification to defend against the Turks that was already out of date by the time it was finished; a moment of glory during the Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire, then restoration, rebranding and marketing for tourism. Something for everyone there. Curdle (talk) 13:26, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Citadel Alba Carolina
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
Hello, Radioactive Pixie Dust. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Citadel Alba Carolina".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 11:07, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your Oz Vehadar article. maybe you would like to finish up the Draft:Dirshu article that I started? It needs some work and citation finding that I think is not too hard to find. Toda Raba, תנא קמא (talk) 19:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
- After a bit of Googling in Hebrew, I saw an article in the Hebrew Wikipedia about Dirshu here, where you could find sources. Maybe an interlanguage link can be used to prove notability, but I'm not sure. Radioactive Pixie Dust (talk) 20:00, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
- A search in JDN comes up with a ton of useful results such as this one here. Radioactive Pixie Dust (talk) 20:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Mishnah Zevahim / Zevachim
[edit]Hi Kalimi. I have done a little research, and it appears that the more common transliteration would be "Zevachim". It would have been bettert to discuss this on the article talk page, though. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:01, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hello! What I was trying to do was to move the mage from Zevahim to Zevachim, so I G6'd Zevachim so I could move the page to there. I don't think this is a controversial move, so discussion on the talk page is likely unnecessary unless someone reverts my move. Thanks for moving the page. Also, how do I move over a redirect without manually G6ing? I moved a page over a redirect before and the redirect was automatically deleted. Kalimi (talk) 00:04, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the Kiddushin (Talmud) revisions! Niddah (Talmud) can use some too. — Shemtov613 (talk • contribs) 12:29, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
- No problem :) The Jewish Encyclopedia article contains more information about the tractate Niddah — and three large paragraphs! The full text is available here. Kalimi (talk) 05:17, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
