'''Leopold II''' ([[October 3]], [[1797]] &ndash; [[January 29]], [[1870]]), of Habsburg-Lorraine, grand-duke of [[Tuscany]].

'''Note:''' Please don't copy messages from other talk pages to here. Any time I leave a message on a talk page, I keep track of it for a while to see if I get any response.

Leopold II was the son of the grand-duke [[Ferdinand III of Tuscany]], whom he succeeded in [[1824]]. During the first twenty years of his reign he devoted himself to the internal development of the state. His was the mildest and least reactionary of all the Italian despotisms of the day, and although always subject to Austrian influence he refused to adopt the Austrian methods of government, allowed a fair measure of liberty to the press, and permitted many political exiles from other states to dwell in Tuscany undisturbed.

== '''Welcome to Wikipedia!''' ==

But when in the early 1840s a feeling of unrest spread throughout Italy, even in Tuscany demands for a constitution and other political reforms were advanced; in 1845 and 1846 riots broke out in various parts of the country, and Leopold granted a number of administrative reforms. But Austrian influence prevented him from going further, even had he wished to do so. The election of [[Pope Pius IX]] gave fresh impulse to the Liberal movement, and on the September 4, 1847 Leopold instituted the National Guard - a first step towards the constitution; shortly after the marchese Cosimo Ridolfi was appointed prime minister. The granting of the Neapolitan and Piedmontese constitutions was followed (February 17, 1848) by that of Tuscany, drawn up by [[Gino Capponi]].

The revolution in [[Milan]] and [[Vienna]] aroused a fever of patriotic enthusiasm in Tuscany, where war against [[Austria]] was demanded; Leopold, giving way to popular pressure, sent a force of regulars and volunteers to co-operate with Piedmont in the Lombard campaign. His speech on their departure was uncompromisingly Italian and Liberal. "Soldiers," he said, " the holy cause of Italian freedom is being decided to-day on the fields of Lombardy. Already the citizens of Milan have purchased their liberty with their blood and with a heroism of which history offers few examples. . . . Honour to the arms of Italy! Long live Italian independence!" The Tuscan contingent fought bravely, if unsuccessfully, at Curtatone and Montanara.

On June 26 the first Tuscan parliament assembled but the disturbances consequent on the failure of the campaign in Lombardy led to the resignation of the Ridolfi ministry, which was succeeded by that of Gino Capponi. The riots continued, especially at Leghorn, which was a prey to actual civil war, and the democratic party of which [[Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi|FD Guerrazzi]] and [[Giuseppe Montanelli|G Montanelli]] were leading lights became every day more influential. Capponi resigned, and Leopold reluctantly agreed to a Montanelli-Guerrazzi ministry, which in its turn had to fight against the extreme republican party.

New elections in the autumn of 1848 returned a constitutional majority, but it ended by voting in favour of a constituent assembly. There was talk of instituting a central Italian kingdom with Leopold as king, to form part of a larger Italian federation, but in the meanwhile the grand-duke, alarmed at the revolutionary and republican agitations in Tuscany and encouraged by the success of the Austrian arms, was, according to Montanelli, negotiating with [[Joseph Radetzky von Radetz|Field-Marshal Radetzky]] and with Pius IX, who had now abandoned his liberal tendencies, and fled to [[Gaeta]]. Leopold had left Florence for [[Siena]], and eventually for [[Porto San Stefano]], leaving a letter to Guerrazzi in which, on account of a protest from the pope, he declared that he could not agree to the proposed constituent assembly. The utmost confusion prevailed in Florence and other parts of Tuscany.

On [[February 9]] [[1849]] the republic was proclaimed, largely as a result of [[Mazzini]]'s exhortations, and on the 18th Leopold sailed for Gaeta. A third parliament was elected and Guerrazzi appointed dictator. But there was great discontent, and the defeat of Charles Albert at Novara caused consternation among the Liberals. The majority, while fearing an [[Austria]]n invasion, desired the return of the grand-duke who had never been unpopular, and in April [[1849]] the municipal council usurped the powers of the assembly and invited him to return, "to save us by means of the restoration of the constitutional monarchy surrounded by popular institutions, from the shame and ruin of a foreign invasion." Leopold accepted, although he said nothing about the foreign invasion, and on [[May 1]] sent Count [[Luigi Serristori]] to Tuscany with full powers.

But at the same time the Austrians occupied [[Lucca]] and [[Livorno|Leghorn]], and although Leopold simulated surprise at their action it has since been proved, as the Austrian general d'Aspre declared at the time, that Austrian intervention was due to the request of the grand-duke. On [[May 24]] the latter appointed G Baldasseroni prime minister, on the 25th the Austrians entered [[Florence]] and on [[July 28]] Leopold himself returned. In April 1850 he concluded a treaty with Austria sanctioning the continuation for an indefinite period of the Austrian occupation with 10,000 men; in September he dismissed parliament, and the following year established a concordat with the Church of a very clerical character. He feebly asked Austria if he might maintain the constitution, and the Austrian premier, [[Karl Philipp Fürst zu Schwarzenberg|Prince Schwarzenberg]], advised him to consult the pope, the king of Naples and the dukes of Parma and Modena.

Psst, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:193.253.29.71 that block] was made in 200''5''.

On their advice he formally revoked the constitution (1852). Political trials were held, Guerrazzi and many others being condemned to long terms of imprisonment, and although in 1855 the Austrian troops left Tuscany, Leopold's popularity was gone. A part of the Liberals, however, still believed in the possibility of a constitutional grand-duke who could be induced for a second time to join Piedmont in a war against Austria, whereas the popular party headed by F. Bartolommei and G. Dolfi realized that only by the expulsion of Leopold could the national aspirations be realized. When in 1859 [[France]] and [[Piedmont (Italy)|Piedmont]] made war on Austria, Leopold's government failed to prevent numbers of young Tuscan volunteers from joining the Franco-Piedmontese forces. Finally an agreement was arrived at between the aristocratic constitutionalists and the popular party, as a result of which the grand-duke's participation in the war was formally demanded.

Leopold at first gave way, and entrusted Don Neri Corsini with the formation of a ministry The popular demands presented by Corsini were for the abdication of Leopold in favour of his son, an alliance with Piedmonl and the reorganization of Tuscany in accordance with the eventual and definite reorganization of Italy. Leopold hesitated and finally rejected the proposals as derogatory to his dignity. On [[April 27]] there was great excitement in Florence, Italian colours appeared everywhere, but order was maintained, and the grand-duke and his family departed for [[Bologna]] undisturbed. Thus the revolution was accomplished without a drop of blood being shed, and after a period of provisional government Tuscany was incorporated in the kingdom of Italy. On [[July 21]] Leopold abdicated in favour of his son [[Ferdinand IV of Tuscany]], who never reigned, but issued a protest from [[Dresden]] ([[March 26]] [[1860]]). He spent his last years in Austria, and died in [[Rome]].

Leopold of Tuscany was a well-meaning, not unkindly man, and fonder of his subjects than were the other Italian despots, but he was weak, and too closely bound by family ties and [[Habsburg]] traditions ever to become a real Liberal. Had he not joined the conclave of autocrats at Gaeta, and, above all, had he not summoned Austrian assistance while denying that he had done so, in 1849, he might yet have preserved his throne, and even changed the whole course of Italian history. At the same time his rule, if not harsh, was enervating and demoralizing.

'''Thank you''' for reverting vandalism to the article November 25. Your help is greatly appreciated. I notice that after you reverted the vandalism, you didn't warn the user involved. Could I ask that in the future you consider warning users who vandalize article? Its easy to do and has two significant benefits. First it tells the vandal that we are keeping an eye on them - many users stop vandalizing as soon as they receive a warning. Second it lets other editors know about previous episodes of vandalism and makes it much easier to leave appropriate warnings and know when to impose blocks, if required.

See G Baldasseroni, ''Leopoldo II'' (Florence, 1871), useful but reactionary in tendency, the author having been Leopold's minister, G Montanelli, ''Memorie sull'Italia'' (Turin, 1853); FD Guerrazzi, ''Memorie'' (Leghorn, 1848); Zobi, ''Storia civile della Toscana'', vols. iv.-v. (Florence, 1850-1852); [[Alfred von Reumont|A von Reumont]], ''Geschichte Toscanas'' (2 vols., Gotha, 1876-1877); M Bartolommei-Gioli, ''Il Rivoleimento Toscano e l'azione popolare'' (Florence, 1905); C Tivaroni, ''L'Italia durante il dominio Austriaco'', vol. i. (Turin, 1892), and ''L'Italia degli Italiani'', vol. i. (Turin, 1895).

Warning is really easy. Just leave a {{[[Template:test|test]]}} tag on the user's talk page. In the first case of vandalism you leave a {{[[Template:test1|test1]]}}, the second time {{[[Template:test2|test2]]}} and so on up to {{[[Template:test4|test4]]}}. If the user already has a recent {{[[Template:test4|test4]]}} notice you can report them to the [[WP:AIV|vandalism noticeboard]]. You can learn more about the warning system at the [[WP:VAN#Warnings|vandalism]] page. Good luck and thanks again for helping us remove vandalism from Wikipedia.

Well hello!! Thank you for being [[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|bold]], I'm afraid I'm going to have to remove that merge tag because Sheva Mitzvas came much later!

::That's right, no eiver min hachai if there's no bosor. RE your point that 7MbN are an extension of the 6, it is true, but consider this - there where ten doiros when these 6 where in effect, when people couldn't eat meat, therefore I think it deserve its own article, especially since it was given to Adam by Hashem, where as the 7MbN in a separate instance where given to Noach by Hashem. Since the article is under construction and yet to cite the midrashic sources, I'm not sure if the merge tag should stay on. [[User:FrummerThanThou|frummer]] 00:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

== Shortepa ==

My dear Od Mishehu,everything you wrote about this article is a violation against the idea of Wikipedia.The article is absolutely normal for such kind of places-small districts with few villages in them.All the sources are riliable and public-maps and official census data.It is not categorised,because there is no suitable category for it (except Afghanistan stubs).So please leave the article as it is and if somebody ever wants to write more,let he does it.I strongly insist you to step back and remove all your templates,or I will contact Wikipedia for your patroling.Have a nice duty![[User:Drjmarkov|Drjmarkov]] 22:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)drjmarkov

:About the other claims, I'd like you to show me a few more similar articles.

:[[User:Od Mishehu|Od Mishehu]] 05:17, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I even can show you other articles with less information in them,so if you are vigilant you would detect them by yourself,but you have not.I try to organise the mess with the Afghani districts and to help people,who occasionally come upon them,easy to locate them on the map,because of all the variety of names for them.You can be sure,that more information for some of the districts you cannot retrieve even if you go there.So leave this topic,if it is out of your interest.Maybe after many years there will appear more information for them and people to add it.I do not create articles ,which are not needed,I make the blank links not be thus.The links have been created before me.You have to be very eager in your patroling job to make fuss in the Christmass Eve for the districts in the Balkh province,Afghanistan.Use your energy for much more usefull aims.Merry Christmass and Happy New Year![[User:Drjmarkov|Drjmarkov]] 06:17, 25 December 2006 (UTC)drjmarkov

== [[Cetartiodactyla]] ==

Dear Od Mishehu, I find your global incorporation of this "taxon" a little bizarre! I read the relevant article, and the whole thing seems to be within the realms of "possibility only", and not even subscribed to by all leading evolutionists... A particular hobby-horse of yours, I wonder? Anyway, if you agree that the main article itself is substantively correct, then I suggest the introgression of this "superorder" into every conceivabale animal taxobox that "fits" is a little over the top. I suggest we leave the "accepted taxonomy" as is and leave the conjecture to higher-order taxonomic articles...what do you think? Thanks--[[User:Grmanners|GRM]] 21:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

:This taxon seems to be more agreed on now then [[Artiodactyla]] as far as the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life]] links show. I asked abot it both at [[Talk:Even-toed ungulate]] and at [[talk:Cetacea]], and no one objected. [[User:Od Mishehu|Od Mishehu]] 21:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

*Dear Od Mishehu, I wonder whether the inclusion of this taxon would be more approrpiate in the context of the Wikispecies project...?—[[User:Grmanners|GRM]] 16:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Why add superorder Cetartiodactyla to all taxoboxes about whales!? ==

I can see that you have been massively adding superorder Cetartiodactyla to all taxoboxes in articles about whales. This is undesirable because of two reasons:

* It is preferred to only add main taxa to the taxoboxes and not intermediate ones like superorders, superfamilies, ''unless'' it clarifies the classification of the particular taxon described in the article. Otherwise it is unnecessary information that makes the taxobox less readable.

* Although the evidence for and acceptance of 'Cetartiodactyla' is growing, it is still controversial enough to leave it out of authoritative lists like taxoboxes for now.

I hope you agree with this point, and either turn back the changes yourself or allow me or others to do it...

Kind regards, --[[User:Fedor|Fedor]] 09:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

FYI: From [[Wikipedia:Taxobox usage#Classification]]:

Taxoboxes should include all major ranks above the taxon described in the article, plus minor ranks

that are important to understanding the classification of the taxon described in the article, or

which are discussed in the article. Other minor ranks should be omitted.

--[[User:Fedor|Fedor]] 09:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

:You have rashly inserted this superorder in a massive amount of taxoboxes. As this clearly is deviating from common usage of taxoboxes, I would prefer that you revert these changes yourself. This is a lot of work and your responsibility, and as you are using some advanced wiki-editor yourself, it should be much easier for you to do than any of us.

Hi, I am a relatively new wikipedian and I wasn't aware that categories need to belong to categories. I have looked at the entry and will try to add to it as requested. I believe it is an important way to organize this information. Thank you for your vigilance. [[User:Canticle|Canticle]] 22:07, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

== Copyvio stuff ==

Thanks for that. I knew it was blatant, so I did what I thought was best. You live, you learn. --[[User:DodgerOfZion|DodgerOfZion]] 05:15, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

== Copyvio [[Aina Topa Hutsi]] ==

please remove that notice, the content isn't copyrighted to begin with it is a history of and organization which I my self currently lead, so it is my material to use. Next it is info from the BSA from the Alamo Area Council Website, the BSA and the council do not have copyrights on historical information. It is a Non-Creative work and thus is not copyrighted. [[User:Jwestmcc|Jwestmcc]] 02:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

:There are instructions on the copyright notice I put up there. If you think this isn't under copyright, follow those instructions. [[User:Od Mishehu|Od Mishehu]] 09:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Better yet you made a mistake and you should be a man about it and fix it. It's not my job to clean up after you, because for some reason you find it neccesary to abuse power and not care about the fact that you made a mistake. [[User:Jwestmcc|Jwestmcc]] 22:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

:I think that for me to go now and remove the copyvio would be considered vandalism. Anyway, before the admins delete it, they will have to double check that it is a copyvio - so you should put your effort towards making sure they think it's okay. By the way, they already un-copyvioed one article I did.

== Re: Your [[WP:PROD|PROD]] of [[Abdul Rahman Husseini]] ==

It looks to me like your prod was for the vandalized version of the page - in which case the right solution is to revert the vandalism (as I did). If your prod was about the unvcandalized version of the page - I object; if you still want it deleted - feel free to use AfD. [[User:Od Mishehu|Od Mishehu]] 11:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

:Oops. Yes, I know how to deal with vandalism; I thought it was left over from a bodged page move (the sort of thing that would be sent to RfD, except that in this case it wasn't actually a redirect). Now I see this was not the case – [[User:Qxz|Qxz]] 11:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

==Deleting Categories of Jewish Athletes==

Hi. I believe this is related to an issue that has interested you in the past. At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion#Category:Jewish_fencers some people are suggesting that Jewish athletes, beginning with Jewish Fencers, should be deleted. I do not think that is the correct approach, or consistent with wiki policy, and thought that others might want to weigh in on the discussion. --[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] 13:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)--[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] 13:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)--[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] 23:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

No, a fox is definitely a mammal, even if it's undergoing oxydizing reaction :) The mammals cat is pretty large so I'm excluding humans and primates for now.

== Uncategorised articles ==

excuse me, but i dont understand your comment on my userpage?

I was under the impression that 'stub' put it into the category of articles that were new and lacking, and thus needed inprovement?

if that was wrong then that was wrong, and i'd like to know so i dont do it again -- as far as 'not good enough' and 'i should put it in the correct category' is concerned tho, the whole point of a wiki is that one person doesn't have to do everything. as well as categorisation, it also needs, imo, an illustrative picture and more words. i couldn't be arsed to provide these, so i just started it off and left it for others to finish, bit by bit, wiki style. --[[User:Dak|Dak]] 23:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

:Stub articles, in order to be improved, should be classified with similar stubs - for example, an expert on [[Mammals]] can find [[:Category:Mammal stubs|stubs about mammals]] as a seperate place from [[:Category:Insect stubs|stubs about bugs]] - a subject this user may know less about. In addition, [[:Category:Stubs]] and {{tl|stub}} don't make it easier for a user trying to find information on [[weapons]] - while placing a <nowiki>[[Category:Weapons]]</nowiki> on the page does. [[User:Od Mishehu|Od Mishehu]] 09:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

== {{[[Template:uncategorizedstub|uncategorizedstub]]}} ==

I'm holding off tagging with this while the backlogs are so large; it seems overkill to have an article in both "queues", when there are so many waiting in both. If and when the backlog at CAT:NOCAT is cleared, or at least down to more reasonable proportions, I'll be happy to sweep through all the stubs with no permcats, and tag those. [[User:Alai|Alai]] 12:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

== Uncategorization ==

Okay, thanks, I forgot to categorize as I usually don't start new pages (somebody always beats me to the punch). [[User:Yonatanh|Yonatan]] ([[Special:Contributions/Yonatanh|contribs]]/[[User_talk:Yonatanh|talk]]) 13:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

==Unblanking==

== My RfA ==

Hello Od Mishehu, I responded to your optional question at [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/WilliamKF]] and wondered if you had had a chance to review it, and had any comments or further questions? Thanks. [[User:WilliamKF|WilliamKF]] 21:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

== Re: To protect your page from vandalism ==

''If you want to have [[User:Onorem|your user page]] protected from vandalism, I think you should leave a request for [[WP:SEMI|semi-protection]] at [[WP:RFP]]. That way, the Wikipedia software will prevent anon users and new users from editing it, while allowing you to edit it. [[User:Od Mishehu|Od Mishehu]] 12:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)''

:Thank you for the suggestion, but the vandalism really doesn't bother me enough to make additional work for the people over at [[WP:RFP]]. Reverting takes little effort, and the more time they spend on my user page, the less time they have to vandalize useful mainspace pages. --[[User:Onorem|Onorem]] 12:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

== Regarding [[Ranchi]] ==

I have actually created two new pages [[Schools_of_Ranchi]] and [[Colleges_of_Ranchi]], and added the links on the page [[Ranchi]], but I see that you have already reverted to my second last edit, should I revert it to my latest edit or remove the 2 articles?

==Eksi Sozluk==

I don't understand why Wikipedia feels justify not to carry the [[Eksi sozluk]] article. It is the most important open source community in the Turkish-speaking world, inspiring many spinoffs. It also has great political significance in the democratization of the country. The article shouldn't be deleted. However, POV paragraphs should be erased. Bestlyriccollection

:Check the [[WP:AFD|votes for deletion]] - at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ekşi Sözlük|the original article's entry]].

== Category:People_from_Assam ==

It was an intentional delete. I have moved the content to [[:Category:People_from_Assam]]. It is not proper to identify people by their ethnic backgroud. Would you like to categorise famous personalities as White, Black, Hispanic, Asian etc?

You mistakenly identified many of my legitimate edits to [[Minnesota House of Representatives]] as vandalism.

As per the User Creation Log, you have created at least seven additional accounts ([[user:Asbrito]], [[user:Doctunell]], [[user:Dance4lifechick]], and others). Please stop doing that, and explain yourself. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] 13:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

:If you had looked at the pages I edited around that time, you would see that I was helping other users at [[WP:ACC]] - people who want to sign up, but can't read the [[captcha]] needed to create it. There are probably more than 100 such users right now, that page is [[:Category:Wikipedia backlog|backlogged]], and I've been helping there. If you think that this shouldn't be happenning, convince the community - not me. I'm only taking part in a process which the community seems to accept. None of thec 24 user names I've created since this process started are mine, and I'm not using any of them. [[User:Od Mishehu|Od]] [[User talk:Od Mishehu|Mishehu]] 08:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

*Good enough. I wasn't aware that that could be done by non-admins, though. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] 20:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

::What a non-admin '''can't''' do is create an account name that's too similar to an existing one - users like me and [[User:tra|Tra]] leave comments in such cases for admins to handle. In addition, a software modification request to allow admins to be able to create many accounts from a single IP address has been made, and possibly already implemented - I can only create 6 from a single IP address.
