world history
Hi Cethegus,

Yes, i like to join. What are your plans?Daanschr (talk) 11:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Strange, you have contacted one of the most important contributors to the article History of the world of the English Wikipedia. I dramatically changed the structure 2 years ago. The former structure was similar to the Dutch article. I didn't like the period called Age of Kingdoms and decided to change most of the article. Now, two years later the article has changed somewhat and has lost some of the structure i gave it.

 * The sections on agriculture, city, trade, civilizations have been implemented by me. I had deleted the sections on paleolithic, mesolithic and neolithic, because i didn't think it was significant enough to mention such concepts.
 * My idea was to first mention the evolution of humans and the migration of humans out of Africa. Than, major developments, which changed human societies worldwide, independent from each other, like agriculture, city, trade, state, religion. I kept the section called rise of Europe, because Europe conquered the world. The original piece started in the year 1000, and i moved it to the 15th century with the start of the Portuguese and Spanish explorations. I kept a section on the 20th century, but added a section on westernization and globalization to discuss the impact of the European and American culture on the world and to describe the clash between different ideologies, like religions, national socialism, communism and liberalism. But this section has been deleted entirely.
 * At the moment i disagree with the format. It is the traditional format of the European culture, but has nothing to do with China, Arabia, India or the Americas. The Middle Ages don't belong to those regions.Daanschr (talk) 11:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * It would be good to read some books and online articles on the subject. (I have graduated in history and learned on the university that sources are important).Daanschr (talk) 11:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I like the structure that you want to give to the article. You try to direct people to themes related to world history, while my approach is to tell the world history. By directing people to other articles, they will get a more full idea of the history of the world.Daanschr (talk) 12:10, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I must confess I trusted Erkan and did not look for your contributions. Good luck that I said the history of the world article was good. ;-) - I am very happy now! My idea is like yours, people should learn about China, Japan, India, Islamic culture, Africa, the Aborigines and the Americas. That shoud be done in a way that they are attracted to the special articles. So they might learn about Hindustan, Plymouth Colony, Edo period, Kush, Papua, Papuan languages, Torres  Strait Islanders, Australian megafauna, Edo, Kingdom of Kerma, Basil II, Battle of Manzikert, Sakoku, Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Habitation at Port-Royal, Mi'kmaq, Fur Trade. They won't learn so much about it if the article is more abstract. - Again, I am very happy to learn that you already worked at an article like that!  --Cethegus (talk) 14:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Here is the article just before i started editing in 2005. This is after my last significant contribution. I quitted editing, because i didn't like the lack of interest of other editors in the contents of the article. I was virtually the only one who edited the article during two months.Daanschr (talk) 18:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Really impressive! Let us see, what the other structure means to content and the possibility tu put links. I'll try to get on a bit on the German version, but it will take time. --Cethegus (talk) 20:15, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay.Daanschr (talk) 13:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

structure editing and social interaction on Wikipedia

 * Cethegus, i have created two institutions in order to structure editing and social interaction on Wikipedia. Maybe you are interested in it. We could read books about world history as a part of either one of these institutions.
 * The easiest one of these are the reading groups on Wikiversity. The concept of this institution is very easy. We decide to read some books and discuss them. We could discuss them on a regular basis and we can edit articles on world history.
 * The other institution is more structured and of an academic level, WikiProject study before editing (on Wikipedia). The idea is to schedule a congress, which will start a year from now and which will last a month. Congress sounds like a word indicating a time consuming process, but it could be just two guys editing articles for a month whenever they feel like it. During the year we can acquire and read literature and other sources, which will be used during the congress. In the long run, this institution could work in a way that a couple of groups prepare which literature will be read and that people with less time will be able to join the congress a year from now, when there is a month of concentrated editing. It is comparable with a fair or with preparing for carnival.
 * Main reason for implementing these institutions is to try to create sustainable communities who can contribute on Wikipedia on an academic level, thereby improving the quality of the encyclopedia and other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation.Daanschr (talk) 08:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for showing your projects to me. They look nice. But I'm afraid I am not flewent enough in English to be able to chat or to contribute at a high level in English. As I have only an intermediate level I prefer to simplify to Simple English or to write in German. Furthermore I have the plan to write an article on World History in German since some years and I want to have a go on this now. (Having a lot of other activities I must try to avoid to be distracted from that aim.) Last but not least: never in my life I shall have read all relevant texts about world history. Therefore I have to try to write earlier and hope for corrections. - When I have finished my first version of that article I'll be happy to join one of your projects. --Cethegus (talk) 18:04, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

The idea of the project was to have it multilingual. The first time i tried to organize a congress, it was immediately for the english, german and dutch Wikipedias, because those are the three languages i speak. Of course, all relevant texts is a relative concept. It depends on the views, level of expertise, but also leisure time of participants. I have shown these projects to several people. Some day there could be someone who is enthusiastic enough to get things starting. The experience with the reading groups was good. Me and Erkan were a team who read and discussed texts for a couple of months every week, and we had 5-10 participants who joint occasionally. You are of course free to join or not to join. We can also just keep with editing the articles on world history, without reading books. I am happy to aid.Daanschr (talk) 09:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've read Tony Judt: Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 (The German version gives the outlines of my understanding of the study.). Would that be something you would like to diskuss? - If you have time to look at my project, it's here. --Cethegus (talk) 14:25, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I would like to discuss it. At the moment i am a bit busy in my privatelife though. So, i will have little time to read the book. But, it should work out in a couple of months, next year. I took a quick look at the page you created. The maps and pictures are great. The text is still a start-up. I will comment on it later on.Daanschr (talk) 15:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Michael Schenker Group

The Michael Schenker Group (often abbreviated as MSG) is an English hard rock band, formed in London in 1979 by former Scorpions and UFO guitarist Michael Schenker. After the release of their second live album, 1984's Rock Will Never Die, its members began to have serious discussions that caused a two-year hiatus, and Michael ended the band in 1986. In 1986, Schenker and vocalist Robin McAuley formed the McAuley Schenker Group, which lasted until 1993. Afterwards, in 1996, the Michael Schenker Group was reformed.

The group has had many different members over the years with Schenker the only constant presence.

History
The band was formed in 1979, following the departure of Michael Schenker from UFO, in an attempt to have a band that better suited his needs. He therefore decided to move to London; a few weeks after his arrival in the British capital, he joined Gary Barden, vocalist of Fraser Nash, who, with bassist Billy Sheehan and drummer Denny Carmassi founded a new band, simply called Michael Schenker Group. The following year they recorded their second album, MSG, which placed at No. 14 on the UK charts. During their promotional tour, they played at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan in Japan, where their first live album was recorded titled One Night at Budokan. It was released in 1982 with great success in the UK where it was certified silver after exceeding 60,000 copies sold.

In October 1983, the band released Built to Destroy, the first with keyboardist Andy Nye and which also featured Derek St. Holmes, known at the time as Ted Nugent's vocalist. To promote it, they gave several concerts in the UK and later went on tour to other European countries as the opening band of Iron Maiden. Their farewell concert was held on December 18, 1983 at the Dortmund festival, after which the band disbanded, and the guitarist founded the McAuley Schenker Group.

After deciding to wrap up the McAuley Schenker Group project, Schenker decided to re-found the band in 1996 with Leif Sundin on vocals, Barry Sparks on bass and Shane Gaalaas on drums with whom he recorded Written in the Sand. Two years later, they released The Unforgiven, with Kelly Keeling replacing Sundin and with John Onder replacing Sparks.

Talk:List of California Historical Landmarks

Convert to sortable table format?
This list-article could be converted to a big, sortable table. Its initial order could be kept the same or put into alphabetical order by landmark name, or put into CHL number order. Anyhow it would be sortable by landmark name, CHL number, by town, by county. And/or it could be expanded to include a column for a photo of each site and a description, much like List of National Historic Landmarks in California, but then it would probably have to be split into several chunks to keep within 100k page-size suggested limit. Comments? doncram (talk) 22:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree. Sortable would be great; I actually visited this talk page solely to request this because I wanted to sort by CHL #. About the size thing, you could possibly make a separate page for some of the counties with a larger number of landmarks such as Los Angeles and Nevada counties. I don't necessarily see the need for an info section; one can click on the article's link for info. I like the image idea, though. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 18:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, not every CHL is suitable for an article. Some of them aren't going to more than stubs, such Alameda County #970, where rainbow trout were identified.  howcheng  {chat} 00:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Many of those listed on the National Landmark pages are either stubs or redlinks too. I am re-added the split tag to see if anyone else is bold enough to start the conversion. Zzyzx11 (talk) 16:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm actually in the process of developing this into sortable tables based on the county (like NRHP). Just FYI. This is specifically for the Wiki Loves Monuments campaign. I'm also going to totally redo this page when I complete it. SarahStierch (talk) 21:18, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

List rated???
Shouldn't this page be classified as "list class" instead of "stub class"? The page does begin with the words "List of".... That's my $.02 --Killiondude (talk) 07:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done.--S. Rich (talk) 22:43, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Landmark vs. Resource
There are three landmarks listed without CHL numbers. It turns out that this is because they are not in the official list. They are, though, in the list of California Historical Resources here because they are in the National Register of Historic Places. The lead for this page, though, clearly draws a distinction between these lists, so I am removing the following sites from this list: —[ Alan M 1  (talk) ]— 00:04, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Napa Valley Opera House
 * Alcatraz Island
 * Churchill House

What exactly is a landmark?
The Wiki Loves Monuments US contest is over but there are very few photogrphs of California Historical Landmarks. (I contributed for Placer County only but neighboring counties seemed to have a similar situation.) Perhaps many contributors (myself included) found it difficult to determine what exactly constitutes one of these landmarks. The landmark names are very generic, such as "Transcontinental Railroad - Auburn" or "Virginiatown". Only on the last day of the contest was I able to confirm that some of the addresses acually specify the location of a physical marker, generally a small masonry column with a plaque affixed (though often the metal plaques appeared to have been stolen). The addresses here are not very accurate (the original source usually has more information) and the coordinates are often slightly off. In some cases I couldn't find a physical marker at all, or I found several plaques from different organizations but none from the state. So the subjects of my few photographs range from a pile of rocks with no plaque to random old items loosely associated with the name of the landmark.

Are all landmarks on this list supposed to be physical markers erected by the State of California? --T71024 (talk) 10:01, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there. The majority of the content on these lists have markers. Some of the "landmarks" still exist (i.e. old buildings, etc), when some might not anymore. When the latter is the situation, I always take a picture of the surrounding area near the sign, or what has become of it. For me, even that evolution is interesting. There are also many historical photographs - especially useful for California, since photography was an full fledged process when many of these landmarks were...becoming landmarks.

Kanuku Mountains

The Kanuku Mountains are a group of mountains in Guyana, located in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo region. The name means 'forest' in the Wapishana language, a reference to the rich diversity of wildlife found there. The Eastern Kanuku Mountains and the Western Kanuku Mountains are separated by the Rupununi River. In 2011, the mountains were designated National Protected Area.

History
The lowland forests sustain 53% of all the known bird species in Guyana, and about 70% of all mammals found in Guyana, live in the Kanuku Mountains. Prominent species include the Giant otter, the Harpy eagle and the Arapaima. The highest peak of the Kanuku Mountains rises to 1,067 metres while the savannah area varies between 120 and 150 metres.

In 2010, concern for the fate of the wildlife of the Kanuku Mountains was raised by the completion of the Takutu River Bridge and matching road system linking coastal Guyana with the interior and the Brazilian frontier. The road passes close to the Kanukus and is a potential source of unsustainable resource exploitation.

In 2011, the mainly uninhabited area was protected, and designated a National Protected Area. It is being maintained by the Kanuku Mountains Project. The conservation area measures 611000 ha. The area around the mountains is inhabited by the Macushi and Wapishana people in 21 communities who use the resources of mountains for their subsistence living.
