[edit] Thank you for your comment
Thanks for leaving a comment at Fair_Game_(Scientology). Presently I'm involved in a "request for other editor's comments" at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Terryeo#Outside_views, it is an attempt by another editor to have me banned from editing for a "lengthy period of time" due to his disagreements with me. I appreciated your polite comment and used it in my reply to his (and other editor's comments. I'm not exactly sure of all the procedures around here myself and I don't know that your input into the matter is appropriate or would make any difference, but I referenced your comment and appriciate your having made it on the Fair Game Discusssion Page. If you have any other questions in the area, feel free to ask me on my discussion page which you can get by clicking my name wherever you see it appear. Happy editing :) Terryeo 17:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Just be sure not to accept any free stress tests from Terryeo :D. And be sure to visit this link http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/cult/sp/pl-1968-10-21-cancel-fair-game.html if you really think Terryeo & the rest of them are honest. LamontCranston 21:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I`m amazed and honoured at how one post gained me some attention from the debate`s heavy weights. What was writen is writen and what was meant is meant, but its meaning may be harder to discern. But I`m sure Terryeo is honest in his belief. Dryzen 15:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Byzantine Heraldry
Hi Dryzen,
As requested, here is the list of Byzantine Noble Families and the heraldic description of their Arms. It's very difficult to get a hold of any information regarding shield types (if, in fact they used shields to display them). I would say that the usual square flags/banners/labarums were used; and if any shields were used in armorial blazons, they may have been used after extensive contact with dynasties from the "west". Shield designs in the Byzantine Army were usually ancient Greco/Roman patterns and religious motifs/images (Cross, Virgin, Christ).
As far as format goes, digital vector graphics would be preferable. Though, just being able to have a look at what they were like would be great - so, I'm not too fussed. Here is the source of the list - http://www.christopherlong.co.uk/per/vlasto.byzantium.html. Dragases 00:19, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need for translator (fr to en)
Hello fellow Wikipedian. I'm looking for some help at Scanderbeg. I 've left a message at the project page but noone responded. If you can and if you are interested, please check this french book (it is in public domain) so that this article (and perhaps the many related articles) gets improved. Thanks! talk to +MATIA 06:46, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the message, I have not been paying attention that project page over the weeks. I've never heard of Scanderbeg before. If you want some work done fast I'm afraid I can't help you. But if your willing to wait, I can put it on my to do list. I can not give any proper estimation on when I could get to work on this tough, events have been forcing me away from my worklist over the last few weeks. Dryzen 12:50, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Ages did not call younger members of royal families as princes and princesses
please check the ongoing discussion about "princess" title on Talk:Margaret of Connaught - it will have implications that many medieval women will soon get the courtesy prefix "princess" before their names in article names. ObRoy 21:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for helping
Thank you for your editings at Byzantine battle tactics. Sorry if can't contribute more to the article but the only partner of mine in wikipedia seems to have been left the 'pedia itself and my job doesn't give me more than 15 min per day... --Philx 04:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I completely understand I find myself in the same situation. The massive computer calculations of yesterday gave me the time to log in for a much longer periode than my daily 30 minutes. Hopeful I' ll get more to do in the commign weeks to post up more information on the Byzantines.Dryzen 13:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Military history of ancient Rome
Hi, can you name me a goo dsource for the military history of ancient Rome during the Imperial period? The featured German article covers only tactics, equipment and organization then. Kingdom, Republic and Late imperial period are well covered. Wandalstouring 22:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I can point you towards this good Roman Empire site. But that's it for internet sources. As for Books I wouldp oitn you towards sevral of Osprey's Books, namely, Rome at War AD 293–696. There are several other books that look into the subject whom I cannot remember the names of at this moment. I'll look into my library and post them later on. I hope this helps.

[edit] Battle of Chalons map
Could you draw a map of the battle of Chalons? Thank you. (We work on getting this to featured article status) Wandalstouring 21:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually I had a tactical map of the battle in mind (units, movements according to description). Wandalstouring 13:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Assistant Coordinator position
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that, per the result of the just-concluded election, you are now an Assistant Coordinator of the Military history WikiProject!
I would ask that you place the coordinator page on your watchlist; its talk page contains a scratch pad and discussion area that should be useful in keeping track of needed coordination work.
More generally, I'll be laying out some thoughts on potential short-term plans for the project here; you are cordially invited to comment!
Congratulations, and thank you for all of your hard work! Kirill Lokshin 00:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Byzantine discussion
Thankyou for your contributions to the Byzantine discussion on Talk:Byzantine Empire! This has been a very interesting discussion, and I value what you have said, as well as the polite way you have posted. Thanks :) Bigdaddy1204 22:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Its been my pleasure to share my passion and my knowledge of the Byzantine with you and the other admirable wikipidans that sought to join the discussion. I think it only natural to hold calm and polite dialogue, to better respect our peers and to convey insight.--Dryzen 14:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hello Dryzen. Concerning your last edit summary in Template:Byzantine Empire infobox (which u self-reverted). The medieval Greeks named their state 'Ρωμανία', whereas the official name was 'Βασιλεία Ρωμαίων' or 'Βασίλειον των Ρωμαίων' (=kingdon). It is more or less the same as the modern Americans or Spanish name theirs, a.k.a. 'America' instead of 'United States of America' and 'Spain' instead of 'Kingdom of Spain' (in spanish, of course). so, i do not think is any sort of a big deal:).

[edit] Apocalyptica
You asked if I am a fan of Apocalyptica. I've got one album, Cult, primarily because it has a version of "In the Hall of the Mountain King", but yes, I'm a fan of that. :-) -- JHunterJ 20:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Byzantine 1025 Map
You have said my 1025 map differs from your own. May I see your 1025 map? My own map was based on an image in the book 'The Byzantine Wars' by John Haldon. I look forward to seeing your map for comparison. :) Bigdaddy1204 22:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

We are making some changes there, just take a look. Wandalstouring 19:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Dryzen, Its EagleEyes, hey, I was just curious and decided to ask you if when I went for an RFA, if I could count on a vote from you. Thanks in advance, EagleEyes 17:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
