Dear Marek
I am a user of Malayalam section of Wikipedia. I only took some references from English Wiky. I am editing Since 15 sept. 2008. Thank you very much for your co-operation. When ever I need help from you I will ask. Thanks once again. Babug (talk) 06:02, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Babug, thank you for your message.

Thank you
Thank you for the welcome, Marek69.
Published on it.wiki 4 years and lately I am especially animals (spiders in particular) and spelling corrections.
Just to learn better English I thought I would start contributing to en.wiki especially with spelling corrections.
Again thanks for the welcome:)).--Eumolpo (talk) 18:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

From Boneyard90
Thank you for the welcoming note! Actually, I do have a small problem (already!) that maybe you can provide some advice or insight.
Recently, I edited a paragraph of the entry Castle. The next day my contribution was "undone", with the explanation that the issue had been discussed in the FAC, and that a "consensus" had been reached. I checked the Talk:Castle page and the FAC, and I see no consensus. In fact, it looks like the majority of contributors share my point of view. The one editor, who seems to monopolize decisions regarding this entry, hhas perhaps one supporter. I don't want to "undo" his "undo", because he can do the same, and it seems pointless until I either get his cooperation or mediation of some kind.
Should I get a Third Party Opinion? What do you suggest?
Thanks! Boneyard90 (talk) 15:08, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Boneyard90, thank you for your message.
- I think your idea of getting a Third Party Opinion is good. You can find out more in the Wikipedia:Third opinion article.
- Good Luck! -- Marek.69 talk

Hello_
I hope you've been well, Marek. An editor I trust has asked for a rev/del of your user page history. Personally, I don't see anything that warrants it, but I would like to hear your opinion. If you have concerns regarding any particular edit I will check into the matter further. See ya 'round Tiderolls 03:39, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Tide, my userpage has been vandalised more times than I can count
- Nothing particularly offensive (in comparison to some previous things), but thanks for removing it anyway :-)
- Cheers -- Marek.69 talk 03:47, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
- That was my take as well. I have a rather thick skin having done mostly vandal-reverting in my time here, but I can understand we're not all the same. The edits are hidden unless someone goes looking for them. Thanks for your input. If I ever can be of assistance don't hesitate to ring my bell. Tiderolls 03:56, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Chula Vista
I really want Chula Vista, California page to be improved but no one helps. Is there a way where you can get people to volunteer and help the page? I want to get it to atleast a B or A class. Spongie555 (talk) 05:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Spongie555, thank you for your message. I'm sorry for the delay in replying, but I'm in Poland at the moment with an unreliable internet connection.

Backlog Elimination Drive Has Begun
Hello, I just wanted to take a moment and announce that the July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive has started, and will run for a month. Thanks for signing up. There's a special prize for most edits on the first day, in case you've got high ambitions. Enjoy! ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 04:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for informing me Noraft. I will try to get going on this when I return to England. :-) -- Marek.69 talk
Pending Changes
Hi there, is this correct? You accept or refuse certain edits on certain articles, a sort of gatekeeper. I edited Republic of Macedonia but did not see my edit there. 1/ How does the procedure work? 2/Who proposed to put this article on the pending changes list? 3/Is there anywhere we can find that information? 4/ How many reviewers are there per article? 5/ thanks :-) Politis (talk) 22:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Politis, thank you for your message.
- "Pending-changes protection" is currently being tested on a limited number of articles during a two-month trial. Articles under PC protection are open for editing, but changes will be visible to readers who are not logged-in only after being checked for obvious vandalism and clear errors. To become visible to everyone, the edits have to be reviewed by a user with the appropriate access, known as a "reviewer". Reviewers are editors who have enough experience to identify obvious vandalism and other clear mistakes.
- You can read more about this trial on Wikipedia:Pending changes and Wikipedia:Protection policy
- If you have any more questions, please come back to me, I'll be happy to help :-)
- Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 22:59, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, a bit complicated at first site :-(. Where do editors who are neither anonymous or a new users stand? Who, for instance, decided to put Republic of Macedonia or Greece into the 'pending changes'? It all seems a bit awkward when before we had to 'locked' system. Politis (talk) 23:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Undo
Marek can u please explain me how to undo older edits???:(:$ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giorgis94 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Giorgis94, thank you for your message.
- If you look in the articles history, you should be able to see an 'undo' link for each edit. Click on this and add an edit summary of your reason for undoing it.
- If the edit is old, the undo may not work as there may be a conflict with a newer edit. In this case the only way to undo is to change the article manually, removing the part you consider incorrrect.
- I hope this helps :-)
- Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk
Making sense
Hi there, I cannot seem to find who has the right to have his/her edits 'automatically accepted'. And can formerly suspended administrators or editors have such a right over articles he/she was banned? Thanks. Politis (talk) 09:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for your welcome note! For me it’s a pleasure to give my contribution in such a beautiful project. And, persons like you, give the strength to believe in a better world. I don’t know if you understand Portuguese, but here we have a say: “todos é que sabemos tudo” (only all of us, can know all) I think this the real meaning of life. And Wikipedia is the way I found to give my contribution. As you asking, I think what I will need most is how to insert photos in page layout. I’m a photographer, so, my major contribution will be photographic material. I appreciated your message. Big huh. Jorge Henriques —Preceding unsigned comment added by JMFH4778 (talk • contribs) 10:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Jorge, thank you for your kind words, they are really appreciated. :-)
- Please excuse the delay in getting back to you, but I am currently attending Wikimania 2010 in Gdańsk, Poland and my laptop has been unable to get a wireless connection. :-(
- In answer to your question, in order to insert photos in page layout, you will need to add code similar to this:
[[File:Pl gdansk zuraw dlugiepobrzeze2006.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The medieval port crane in Gdańsk.]]
- This will produce:
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Pl_gdansk_zuraw_dlugiepobrzeze2006.jpg/200px-Pl_gdansk_zuraw_dlugiepobrzeze2006.jpg)
- For more information on images see Wikipedia:Images.
- You can upload your own images at Special:Upload.
- However, before that you should familiarise yourself with the information on Wikipedia:Uploading images.
- For more information about copyrights please read Wikipedia:Copyrights
- If you have produced the photographs yourself then you should click on the ‘It is entirely my own work’ link and follow the instructions from there.
- If you require any further help, please do not hesitate to ask. I should be home by the end of the week
- Good Luck & Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 19:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Harrys of London
hi marek
you might remember me - a few months ago you helped me get started here on wikipedia - its such a maze, having a person to talk to has been very helpful. Now i am helping two friends who have cool fashion companies to develop an entry for their companies. I've done the first one, but not sure how to make it "live" - and want to be sure it complies with the rules of Wikipedia. The first entry is for Harrys of London - a Richemont Group owned shoe and accessories company based here in London. Could you take a look and help me get it going? Kaskaad (talk) 09:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Kaskaad, thank you for your message.
- Please excuse the delay in getting back to you, but I am currently attending Wikimania 2010 in Gdańsk, Poland and my laptop has been unable to get a wireless connection. As soon as I get back online I will have a look and get back to you.

Reminder
Hi! This message is just a friendly reminder that you signed up to participate in the GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive. I noticed that you haven't logged a single copy edit yet. We'd love to see you participate! The drive runs three more weeks so there's still plenty of time to earn barnstars. Thanks! --Diannaa (Talk) 22:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Diannaa, thank you for your message.
- I would love to participate in the GOCE Drive, in fact I would just like to simply answer my messages on Wikipedia.
- Unfortunately I am having troubles getting my laptop to pick up any wireless internet signal at the moment.
- I am presently in Gdańsk, Poland at Wikimania 2010, but I will be editing normally as soon as I return home later this week.
- Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 02:41, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Marek 69, I uploaded about 90 photos after our trip to southern England. If you want to see them, see the categories Petworth House and Park, Sissinghurst Castle, Sheffield Park Garden, Hestercombe, Groombridge Place, Groombridge Place Gardens, Groombridge Place historic gardens, Ightham Mote, Stourhead, Stourhead Bridge, Hidcote Manor Garden and Rousham House!

- I am very pleased that you enjoyed your trip to England and am glad that you photos came out well.
- I will certainly look them up at my first opportunity. At the moment I have an intermittent internet connection (wireless problems)
- I am currently in Gdańsk, Poland attending Wikimania 2010, (temperature is around 33°C here too!)
- I hope to be editing normally as soon as I return home.
- Thank you for updating me with you progress.

Thanks for the welcome!
Thank you for the welcome message (to 67.237.123.183, after the Corinth edit). As a result, I've managed to make an account after years of lurking here, and I'm looking forward to learning how to contribute for a change.
Just one question - can the user talk page and user contributions for my IP address be merged somehow with the account I just created, or do they have to sit there all lonely and abandoned now that I've graduated to registered user status? :) Thanks! Lirantha (talk) 01:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Lirantha, thank you for your message.
- I'm not too sure, but I think that your IP contributions cannot be merged with your account. Sorry!
- You can always put a brief note on your user page if you wish, stating something like: ‘This user has also edited as IP 84.45.208.245 (user contributions)’

harrys
hi marek - can you advise how i can make the harrys page live? --Kaskaad (talk) 23:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Kaskaad, thank you for your message
- I've pasted some tips below to help you start your first article:
- Try editing existing articles to get a feel for writing and for using the mark-up language in use at Wikipedia.
- Search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject, perhaps under a different title. If the article already exists, feel free to make any constructive edits you feel are necessary.
- Gather references both to use as source(s) of the information you will include and also to demonstrate notability of your article's subject matter. References to blogs, personal websites and MySpace don't count—we need reliable sources. Extra care should be taken to make sure that articles on living persons have sources -- articles about living people without sources may be deleted.
- Consider requesting feedback. You can request feedback on articles you would like to create in a number of places, including the talk page of a related WikiProject or the Drawing Board.
- Consider creating the article first in your user space. As a registered user, you have your own user space. You can start the new article there, on a subpage; you can get it in shape, take your time, ask other editors to help work on it, and only move it into the "live" Wikipedia once it is ready to go. To create your own subpage, see here. When the new article is ready for "prime time", you can move it into the main area. (Note: the Article Wizard has an option to create these kind of draft pages.)
- Remember the article you create will be deleted quickly if it is not acceptable. Wikipedia has a new pages patrol division where people check your new articles shortly after you create them.
- Articles that do not meet notability guidelines and do not cite reliable published sources are likely to be deleted.
- Do not create pages about yourself, your company, your band or your friends, nor pages that advertise, nor personal essays or other articles you would not find in an encyclopedia.
- Be careful about the following: copying things, controversial material, extremely short articles, and local-interest articles.
- I've had a look at your article: User:Kaskaad/Harrys of london
- First of all it is lacking references. References are required to demonstrate notability of your article's subject matter.
- Also, you have to be very careful to write the article in an encyclopaedic tone so it does not read like an advert for the company, which would not conform to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
- Just a few pointers for now...
- When you feel the article is ready to be moved to the main space, or have any other questions, please come back to me.
- Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 00:30, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Administrator
Dear Marek69, in the near future, when I'm not that busy, I wished to become an administrator in Wikipedia. Do you know what are the steps to become one? Thank you. --Rochelimit (talk) 21:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Rochelimit, thank you for your message. I'm probably not the best person to ask about adminship, as I've yet to run.
- My advice would be to monitor the events at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship for a while to see what the community is looking for in an admin and how the process works. :-)
- Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 22:21, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
GOCE Newsletter
![]() Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk. |

Newbie question: Dispute
Hi Marek I came across this page that I wanted to dispute independence. But not sure how, and wanted to do it the right way. I have some experience of wikis, but not done this.
Do I just add tag: e.g.
![]() | This article's factual accuracy is disputed. (March 2009) |
or is it only admins?
I have come across pages before, and wanted to add comment like this. This page is one I saw. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority
I searched FAQ, but (probably!) missed the topic. Any advice from your experience?
Sroen (talk) 11:31, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Sroen, thank you for your message
- As far as I know, anyone is allowed to add the ‘disputed’ template to an article.
- Just do it the same way as you did here, i.e. by adding {{Disputed|date=July 2010}} to the article.
- You can find more information on this in Template:Disputed.
- If I can be of further assistance, please come back to me.

IP Question
Hi Marek69, I have a problem with a fact on the Haplogroup N (y-chromosome) page. I tried to establish a talk about it, but I get a message telling that I have made an unconstructive edit on some page as an IP-user.
Is this now a problem, since I have never made an edit on Wikipedia? Somebody else has had the same IP-number.
I am still concerned with the N haplogroup page. One particular mistake there. Otherwise a good page.
Marjainen (talk) 17:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Marjainen, thank you for your message.
- Don't worry - this is a very common problem for IP editors.
- The most likely reason for this is that you have a dynamic IP address, which means your IP could be different every time you turn your computer on.
- The message in question is likely intended for someone else. Ignore it. (You may delete it if you wish)
- As far as the N haplogroup article. If you feel there is a mistake there, you are free to correct it.
- After all, Wikipedia is ‘the encylopaedia anyone can edit’ :-)
- Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 23:50, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Haplogroup N (y-chromosome), a mistake
- Marek,
- Thank you very much for your kind answer! I doubt that I have all the necessary sources available for editing the problem part myself. Also it seems difficult.
- First I would like to discuss the matter with the writer. Is that possible? How would I go about it?
- I like Wikipedia a lot and use it often. I want to thank you and all the people who work for it. Great job! Thank you! Marjainen (talk) 01:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi again Marjainen, thank you for your message and your kind words.
- If it is the Haplogroup N (Y-DNA) article you are referring to, you can start a discussion on the article's talk page, which can be found here: Talk:Haplogroup N (Y-DNA) or by clicking on the ‘talk’ tab at the top of the article in question.
- As with most articles on Wikipedia there will probably be more that one writer of the article. You can find a list of contributors by hitting the ‘history’ tab.
- I wish you Good Luck and Happy Wiki-ing.
- Please let me know if you require any further assistance. :-)

Dear Marek69, It is nice to hear from you. Thanks for your message in my page. I have been contributing in Nepali Wikipedia from last 4 years and now I am one of the 4 sysops in it. My experience in English Wikipedia is not long. For now I am just contributing to link Nepali pages to English wiki. I hope I will contribute more in the future. Regards. --गणेश पौडेल (talk) 04:59, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Google Maps references & similar
Hi, Marek,
I put in a few dozen Google Map references against some of the Mazes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze#Mazes_open_to_the_public
Someone else moved these to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze#References
This has the effect of bouncing the reader twice before going to Google Maps.
In other words, it means that we cannot Right-Hand-Click on the Google Map link to open the link in a new 'Background' Tab.
So, for instance, I want to look at:
* The Maze, Perth, Western Australia[15]
* Ashcombe Maze, Shoreham, Victoria, Australia,[16]
* Mintaro Maze, Mintaro, South Australia,[17]
* A Maze'N Things,[18] Phillip Island (Victoria), Australia[19]
We cannot right-hand-click on 15, 16, 17, 19 to open 4 new Background Tabs, each with a Google-Map showing a maze.
What we get instead, is the same Wikipedia "Maze" page opened 4 more times at slightly different Reference targets.
In other words, using double-links like this reduces the user experience.
What do you think?

Thank you Marek for your welcoming!
I am very pleased for your writings on my discussion page. Thank you. I hope we will work together. At the moment I am involved in the Kosovo discussion page. See you! --92.74.20.221 (talk) 15:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the pleasant greeting!
As I am new a wikipedian I was wondering whether you could suggest me a wikiproject that fits my desire. I want to contribute to the articles written in Romanian. I can speak English quit well enough to translate an article from English to Romanian. I would be glad if you helped me! :)
Sincerely, --NikitaUtiu (talk) 17:19, 27 July 2010 (UTC)!
