Cutting down watchlist

I have cut down my watchlist by about 4000 items so that I can concentrate on the articles that I am really interrested in, and not get sidetracked too much. - I am also quite busy in real life at the moment so my contributions will be rather erratic.

Happy editing everybody -- Agathoclea 15:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

My RFA

Hello Agathoclea/Archive 2, I just wanted to thank you for giving your comments at my recent RFA. While it didnt pass (I withdrew after it became apparent that the RFA was "sinking like the titanic" =]), I will try to focus on and build upon your comments, and the comments of all the other Wikipedians who participated. Thanks again for voicing your opinion, and I wish you very happy editing! Anonymous Dissident Utter 06:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Merging 2 articles together

I started a voting section in the merge discussion on Talk:Germany national football team#Merge over a week ago. It clear that people want to have the 2 articles merged with 7 votes for merging and none against. When can we have this done. Kingjeff 16:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for fixing my glitch re: blocking e-mail from Cyrus XIII - I would have done it myself, but I was asleep. As for my rationale for blocking him in the first place, I've already gone over this in great detail on many other talk pages; I don't feel like rehashing it again, so if you're bored enough, you can look through my most recent contribs for today. DS 16:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Cheers for correcting my balls up of a block, I was positive that Manny had added that block message herself, but obviously I screwed up. I offered her my humblest appologies so hopefully there's no hard feelings there. Thanks again, Ryan Postlethwaite 18:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Germany

Hi danke for your help. I can easy tag the German villages when I start them -save you the effort - I did a few I think. I would like to see the standard German info box on every muncipality in Germany - I am ery surpised ina project of this enormity it hasn't been done yet. Hopefullly later the German info can be translated -my knowledge of German is unfortunately very slim indeed!!! Great work Regards ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 20:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Project Banners

I've noticed that you, at one time, were interested in a proposal for a wikiproject called WikiProject Banners. I've expanded on the idea in my wikiproject proposal, and was wondering if you would like to check it out. The proposal can be found here. I hope this would be something you would be interested in!

Heinrich Severloh

Thanks for keeping an eye on this article. I fail to understand the animosity that this article has generated. I wish that the critics would simply write a criticism paragraph than simply slagging off everyone. I appreciate your help. Gillyweed 23:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Agathoclea/WHEEL WAR... ON WHEELS!

Hi! I just wanted to draw your attention to something that looks like you might have abandoned a while back (User:Agathoclea/WHEEL WAR... ON WHEELS!. You still have the Category:Wikipedia essays tag on it and it's showing up on the cat listing. I'm not one to mess about with other's userspace too much - do you think you could remove the category tag or finish the essay? CredoFromStart ^talk 18:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Removed the category - should really finish the thing. Agathoclea 18:50, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! CredoFromStart ^talk 14:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

MS 1860 Munich

This article should be TSV 1860 Munich. Kingjeff 02:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. It's going for speedy deletion now. Kingjeff 02:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

For some reason, this is a redirect now for TSV 1860 Munich. This was nothing more then a spoof page and should be deleted per the request that is in the history of the article. Kingjeff 18:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

All sorted now by Pascal. In future could you also please provide a wiki-link to the offending article? Agathoclea 23:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Can you speak to User:Dpool2002 about not using starting lineups in the main FC Bayern Munich? Kingjeff 23:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thuringia

Good work on Thuringian municipalities! Could you also update the related district articles Wartburgkreis and Weimarer Land? For example, see Wolfenbüttel (district). Markussep ^Talk 12:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Will do that when I finished the current batch and then do all three in one go. Agathoclea 12:26, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Start / B-Class.Tag for Lauterbach, Baden-Württemberg

Hello Agathoclea, I removed the above tag on the talk page of Lauterbach, Baden-Württemberg because I wanted an answer from Kusma, whether or not it was still needed. Now, I can ask you why it is still needed. Thank you. Best Hans555 11:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

WP:GER

Thanks for your note. There has been a lot going on for me over the last few months, and it's not going to stop any time soon. I'll probably remain active on some German articles, but mostly within the scope of WP:WPFC. But if there's any way I can continue to help out with templates, that's no problem - it just won't go as quickly as before. What did you have in mind? - 52 Pickup 13:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

That entry is cleaned up now. The creation of English names for all the parameters is something that I still plan to do - unfortunately, the code is complicated enough as it is with only one set of names, so it will take a lot of time to get it done right without breaking the template. - 52 Pickup 08:22, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Germany national under-21 football team

Can you close the merger discussion at Talk:Germany national under-21 football team? It's already 9-1 in favor of not merging. Kingjeff 17:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Rex Germanus

User:Rex Germanus seems to be attacking the German people. Does this not go against official policy? Kingjeff 02:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I would prefer if you would bring that up on a more open forum like WP:AN/I to get an unbiased admin to look at it. I personal view is that NPA is more used in respects to a specific contributer. If specific contributers feel themselves attacked by that they should go to AN/I as well. Agathoclea 07:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hoax and deletion

Right, OK. Do I just AfD a hoax?--Vox Humana 8' 06:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that. By the way, do you think you could stick a link to your talk page in your signature, much as I have done, with talk, user and contribs? Even a simple Agathoclea (talk - contributions) would do nicely, with the talk and contribs turned into appropriate internal links.--Vox Humana 8' 06:16, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Saxony-Anhalt

Indeed a lot of work ahead there! I'm not sure what to do with Dessau, Roßlau, Bitterfeld and Wolfen, since the merger cities Dessau-Roßlau and Bitterfeld-Wolfen, and the "old" cities would all deserve separate articles IMO (as in de:). See for instance Sittard-Geleen, a recent combination of Sittard, Geleen and Born (Netherlands). The Statistisches Landesamt Sachsen-Anhalt link is very useful indeed, there are alphabetical lists of municipalities by Kreis and by Verwaltungsgemeinschaft under Gebietsinformationen/Gemeinden. If you need some help, I'll jump in after I'm done with Hesse. Markussep ^Talk 11:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Bilder

Hi, wenn du mal auf den artikel Eschenrode guckst, siehst du, dass ich die Bilder vom deutschen Artikel de:Eschenrode eingefügt habe, allerdings werden sie nicht angezeigt. Aber das Wappen wird angezeigt. Weißt du was da man machen kann? Bei Nievoldhagen ist es übrigens das gleiche.

PS:Entschuldige bitte, dass ich im englischen Wikipedia Deutsch schreibe, aber das kann ich besser als Englisch.--Flori999 10:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Damit deine Bilder auf en-wiki verwendet werden können müssen sie auf commons geladen werden, nicht nur auf de-wiki. Sowieso eine gute Idee das zu machen. Agathoclea 12:38, 19. Jul. 2007 (CEST)

Danke für den Rat.--Flori999 16:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

German Location infobox

Hi there. Just a quick request regarding the insertion of Infobox German Location. Upon adding the infobox to the article, please also remove any {{coord}} templates that may be present, as well as any "Category: {towns/municipalities/etc) in (state)" placements that you see. Both of these things are now incorporated into the infobox and so this duplication of information is no loner required. Thanks. - 52 Pickup 08:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the confirmation, there was a little edit-scirmish on the subject a couple weeks back. Agathoclea 11:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Really? Where did this happen? Earlier there were some problems with the coord template, so displaying the co-ordinates in the title bar via the infobox has only been enabled during the last week. The auto-categorisation has been part of the template for a month or so - and as there have been no clear problems with how it works, the relevant manual categories can now be phased out. - 52 Pickup 11:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

You can find the incident from this, but I haven't noticed anything since. Agathoclea 11:50, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Lee cat

I put it here, sorry, please let me know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Mr._Lee_.28cat.29 Fromage911 07:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

sorry, could you look here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CC_TIT1.JPG I think I did it right like other pictures, but I do not want to see it deleted by anyone like Rye did the article. Sorry. Please let me know? Fromage911 07:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh sorry--

I saw Kimper closed the deletion review so I got confused. I never Ryu give me permission to use Wikipedia...? Fromage911 07:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

To clear things up regarding this DRV: I talked to Ryulong on IRC and he said he would be OK with me SNOW closing the DRV, undeleting the article and AfD so it could undergo a full debate; I know from my experience at DRV that it would have unquestionably been overturned and relisted, and I figured it would be best to fast-forward straight to the debate.

Llandudno Wiki

I would like to know what right you have to constantly keep removing links from the Llandudno Wiki pages, in particular reference to the non-profit Llandudno Enthusiast Groups Forum at www.llandudno-forum.co.uk this site has over several thousand articles relating to Llandudno with designated sections where people can reminisce, ask a local or carry out research on Llandudno this is certainly an education and encyclopedic free source of information. This is well within the keeping of Wiki criteria. The link is removed over other links such as profitable businesses and organisations such as North Wales Theatre. I really think you should stop knit picking or keep out of that topic all together. I would be be quite happy to talk about the issue before you decide to remove the link again if you wish to argue your case forward. I have added some more relevant links to the Wiki page, so as you can see, my interests are not simply in that of promoting my own cause.

User:Loom peat

Hi there; I make it an invarying rule never to wheel-war, and so have not interfered with the block that you have imposed. I was just in process of sending him an ultimately final warning. As he appears to vandalise only by inserting passages from the Book of Genesis, I wonder if he is just misguided, or does not understand wiki, rather than being a true vandal? But your call. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 10:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Just discovered that he appears to have a sockpuppet, user:West store, which rather strengthens your position and demolishes mine. So ignore my earlier posting. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 10:55, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Munich S-Bahn

This message is regarding your removal of my HTML comment at Munich S-Bahn. You asked me to see the German interwiki for the reason. Why can't you just put the reason in English on the English Wikipedia article?? Georgia guy 17:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Verifyable sources is one reason - although I can vouch for the German article to be correct on mentioning that S3 was replaced by S8 (And later briefly resurrected on a different track) it would need researching. Lack of time and lack of access to German off-line sources is a bit of hindrance. Agathoclea 20:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

First apologies, no matter how many windows I open I loose my cut and paste. Second, you have commented, something close to "please do not copyright others' stuff as your own" [3]I am not arguing with you. [4]This is in regard to a GIF Power and Control over Women Wheel [5] As an early NOW member I can hazard a guess at which two people contributed most to this "document", I can not prove it though. [6] This document Power and Control Wheel" was intentionally created as propaganda and directed into the public domain with no claim to authorship or copyright: further it is my understanding that was purposely done. [7] Again I do not seek malicious argument, and I bear you no malice at all. [8] The Power and Control Wheel exists, and is very widely circulated, without copyright or claim to authorship. [9] The GIF is my creation (only way to get into the computer [and done so faithfully]) I apparently have a license problem. I have read your remarks and disagree to the extent that I created the GIF and yet agree with your remarks becuase I did not solely create the contents. I truly am unsure of a best manner to deal with this. I very much desire to retain the piece as it amplifies the describtive piece, here at en.wikipedia "Power and Control". Should you be able to assist me in any way I would very much appreciate the help. auf weidersehen BobV01 17:22, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Germany

OK forgive me for my ignorance then but why on earth then do all the templates containing the places that are municipalities which "aren't towns" say Cities and towns in ..... ??? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 09:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it was the same editor who created or in some cases renamed it. We discussed it some time ago and thought it to be a low priority task to change them all. Maybe we should revisit the idea and discuss it at WT:GER Agathoclea 10:24, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Its just I want everything to be consistent!!!! Hey I've added some 100 more places today and I'm onto the next one now. Soon enough all the infoboxes will be added and gradually information added. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 10:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

New articles

If you look at User:Agathoclea#cheatsheet you see how I proceed with these articles - cut and paste the articlename into the lead and the interwiki link - preview - follow the interwikilink to the German wikipedia to see if it is correct and bring back the infobox from there in the process. That way you don't need to worry about the category and the coordinates. Agathoclea 20:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:Db-song

I have deleted the template due to misrepresenting policy. Songs and albums are not listed in speedy deletion criterion; while albums made by blatantly non-notable bands could be speedily deleted under the criterion (on the grounds that an article about an album can be considered an article about the band that made it), mere lack of assertion of notability of the album itself is not sufficient. Please use {{db-music}} instead. - Mike Rosoft 10:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Little England

I'm wondering if you can advise me. The neutrality dispute on Little England beyond Wales is deadlocked: no progress is being made to improve the article's neutrality, other than my own attempts, which mostly get reverted. How does one get a dispute like this arbitrated? There is much that can be done to improve the article, but it's impossible in the current climate. I'm aware that I've been too close to this article, and I'd quite like to stand back and let someone else sort it out. If an arbitrator would only say what exactly is wrong with the article, it would be quite useful, as I'm totally in the dark about that at the moment. . . .LinguisticDemographer 23:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Munich U- & S-Bahn articles

Yes, I noticed some of the wrong categories (like Munich S-Bahn) and have been trying to rectify that. Sorry for any inconvenience, that was mostly carelessness on my part. As for the naming conventions: Per Deutsche Bahn, the correct naming would be München <station name>, like München Hauptbahnhof, München Ost, München Marienplatz, München Karlsplatz etc., all of which are already named that way (not by me. ;-)) I was - sometimes rather inexpertly, I admit - trying to adjust the new names according to the majority of article names already present and according to official Deutsche Bahn naming conventions. (Although DB itself is obviously not consistent in its naming of stations, at least not in files I've been able to access. However, every (inter)national train station in Munich is - on the platforms - named München <station>, though, so I'd think that to be authoritative.)

Hi

I can see why you are adding reqphoto=yes to WP Germany template, but why are you removing Germany's name from the reqphoto template below? They are not exclusive of one another, and in the case of a collapsable grouping of WikiProject templates, the only one visible to the uninformed reader is the seperate reqphoto template. cheers Baristarim 07:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
