Axum Obelisk

[edit]

I think you should mind COM:OVERCAT. And what is actually the difference between Category:Axumite obelisks and Category:Obelisk of Axum? I was there; the whole stele field near the St. Mary of Zion Church is called "Obelisk of Axum"; including the steles, the tomb, and the museum. --A.Savin 12:26, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I understand: Axumite obelisks = all stelae fields in Axum, Obelisk of Axum = only the field near St. Mary Church. But then, this edit violates COM:OVERCAT and I'm going to remove "Axumite obelisks". Please do not repeat. --A.Savin 12:29, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @A.Savin: Yes, Category:Axumite obelisks covers all stelae fields and stelae in Axum. Category:Obelisk of Axum, however, is not a stelae field. It is one particular stela or stele. Read the description at Category:Obelisk of Axum. It says, "The Obelisk of Axum (today, especially in Axum, also called the Rome Stele) is a 1,700-year-old, 24-metres (78-foot) tall granite stele / obelisk, weighing 160 tonnes." The stelae field near St Mary's is called the Northern Stelae Park. Cheers. Nurg (talk) 10:36, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now looking at WP articles I'm not sure: is this the Obelisk and this the Ezana Stele, or vice versa? --A.Savin 01:37, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Vice versa. Nurg (talk) 01:51, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Auckland District" is not the same as Auckland Region

[edit]

Bearing in mind these illustrations were from a book published in 1904 called "Trout-Fishing and Sport in Maoriland,"

Maoriland fer god's sake, How Antique can you get ! ! !
You don't think he might have meant what you choose to call "region" when he wrote district? Eddaido (talk) 03:44, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that by "Auckland District" he meant either the Auckland provincial district, based on the earlier Auckland Province, or the Auckland Acclimatisation Society District, which included at least the Waikato, and perhaps Taupo etc (I haven't researched it fully). The Auckland Region is, of course, a later creation, and not greatly known for trout fishing. It would be nice to know exactly where the trout came from, but I suspect Waikato, Taupo or Rotorua areas. Nurg (talk) 04:08, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Morena Michal, Nurg is the editor who by far appears most often on my watchlists with edits to be patrolled. They know what they are doing so I suggest that you could safely assign autopatrolled to this account. Schwede66 20:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible, done. Podzemnik (talk) 06:30, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if I benefit or if just others benefit, but thank you both anyway. Nurg (talk) 06:54, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's always the other users that benefit from autopatrolled; there's nothing in it for the recipient. :-) Schwede66 01:03, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Nurg, thank you for this correction: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AWiremu_Kingi.png&type=revision&diff=668463424&oldid=584250651

Do you have any knowledge, what fur it is? It seems to me like sheepskin or goat skins? Far away, from downunder, regards -- Kürschner (talk) 06:52, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kürschner. It is dog skin. You can see more depictions of Maori dog-skin cloaks at Category:Kahu Kurī. And there are photos of a taxidermied old-time Maori dog at Category:Kurī. Nurg (talk) 07:00, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, marvellous, great! Thank you! -- Kürschner (talk) 07:29, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I should have known it, embarrassing: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundefell (dog skin). :-( -- Kürschner (talk) 07:33, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
