RE: I deleted your user page

Wikipedia is not censored! If you need more advice, read WP:NOT. Also, it's my userpage, not an encyclopedia article, i.e., I can put what I want on it. Herkelthebrave

No you can't. You are not a contributor to the encyclopedia, so you don't even need a user page. While Wikipedia is not censored, it is not useful to building an encyclopedia to have large images of sex acts on user and user talk pages that are linked from other talk pages.

Yes I ran into similar problems when I started tagging articles for WP:FR belonging to Category:France without going carefully through all levels. Now I manually generate the cat list and then let the AWB do the remaining work.

All the stub categories related to Germany have been tagged with {{WikiProject Germany|class=stub|importance=}}. Next step would be the remaining germany articles from the manually screened germany related categories with {{WikiProject Germany|class=|importance=}}. Cheers, STTW (talk) 17:17, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at Talk WP:FR for a new article assessment tool. Might be helpful for you too. STTW (talk) 20:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

austin prof.

why did you delete my page?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adoublin (talk • contribs) 22:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

It actually met several criteria for speedy deletion: G1 (unsalvaegeably incoherent), A1 (no context), A3 (no content), G11 (advertising). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a dumping ground for random HTML. Kusma (t) 06:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Private request for admin intervention :)

Hey,

I was unable to insert this to the right place through my slow dial-up connection due to permanent edit conflicts:

• Slab stone (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) persistently vandalizes Soviet Union and userpages of those who warns him. Ukrained 23:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You were the first admin that came in my mind. Why don't you handle this somehow? Thanks, Ukrained 23:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I was unfortunately offline, but he has been blocked by someone else. I would have blocked indefinitely instead of 24 hours, but won't overturn the other admin's decision. If he vandalizes again, he will get an indefinite block. Kusma (t) 06:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

From 85.145.150.77

Has wikipedi.org became commercial? Do you make money out of promoting movies, music, people or companies and where does it all start with a story. Who is going to watch the watcher if there is someone violating the rules.... So what is you policy?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.145.150.77 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Wedel

Hallo Kusma, ich bin's nochmal mit dem Copyright-Wedel-Project. Ich hatte eine Wiki-Copyright-Erlaubnis-Form an die Autorin der Wedel-History gemailt und ge4beten das sie dies ergaenzt mit Datum und ihrem Namen und dann copy und paste und es mir zurueck sendet. Leider ist es nun anders gekommen als ich so dachte. Die Dame hat mir eine selbstgeschrieben Antwort-mail geschickt siehe unten. >>>>umgehen wir diesen ganzen Zirkus mit der Erklärung doch einfach. Ich bitte Sie darum, meinen Namen als Quelle zu streichen. Ich sehe es so, dass Sie durch die Übersetzung aus dem Deutschen ins Englische Ihre eigenen Rechte am Text erwerben. Ich bin es gewohnt, dass aus meinen Texten mit geschichtlichem Inhalt sowieso alles herauskopieren wird. Mir kommt es letzlich auf die korrekte Wiedergabe an und nicht darum, meinen Namen zu finden! Es grüßt Sie herzlich Anke Rannegger<<<<<

Genuegt es nun dieses obige Schreiben der

                                         permissions-de@wikimedia.org einfach zuzusenden(Forwarden)?

Soll ich dir diese Erklaerung auch noch zumailen?? need your email address (die war frueher mal hier, nun ist sie verschwunden SSSMILE)

Danke fuer Antwort

Wedel-En-Wiki

Kusma, danke fuer Antwort. Ja werde so machen. Dachte nur, hatte im Wiki immer wieder gelesen "den Source angeben". Dachte das ist der "richtige" Weg. Aber so, wie du beschreibst geht es auch sehr gut.Ist einfacher und --wenn keine Bedenken bestehen-- auch ein sinnvoller Weg. Ich bin eine Liebhaberin fuer Wissen fuer Alle. Werde deinem Muster folgen. Habe gesehen, einiges in Wedel-En wurde schon veraendert und sieht gut aus!!!Freue mich. Nun moechte ich irgendwann einmal nochmehr info besonders aus Wiki-Wedel-DE uebernehmen, besonders aus dem "Present" Bereich auch ist die Landkarte nicht richtig. Wedel , der "rote Punkt" liegt/sollte auf der anderen Seite der Elbe liegen.. direkt vor Hamburg in Schleswig-Holstein. Werde dich dann wohl fragen muessen : how does that work? -- weiss nicht wann ich dazu komme, muss erstmal nach Wedel fliegen fuer laengere Zeit und habe keinen pc am anfang zur Verfuegung.

Weitere Bitte, falls du etwas bei mir,an mir siehst was ich berichtigen sollte-mails,contact or so lass mich wissen. Bin Wiki (und anders)lernbegierig und ja Wiki is addictive SSSSSSSSSSmile

habe nun auch ein Konto bei Wiki-Deutsch--- man ist ja wohl nur Bereichs(Laender-Sprach-Kontinent-weise?)-Wiki-member.. Wie: Wiki-Englisch/ Wiki-Deutsch also was ich meine nicht uebergreifend (genau wie bei ebay SSmile) Nochmals recht vielen Dank fuer deine Hilfe und mir den Weg zuzeigen Roeber(F) 16:16, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject China#Naming conventions

Hi I have tried to answer your concerns. Please respond. --Ideogram 01:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

On Image:Image-request.png

You removed (reverted, really) the {{db}} I placed on the page with the reason "not orphaned". It is true, there are two (well, three, now) places which link to it: a message I placed on a user's talk page and the uploader's personal "contributions" page. For articles, the standard is orphanage, but this is an image, and the image itself is not used anywhere, and it has, in fact, been superseded by an SVG. If you don't mind, please either delete the image, or please don't get angry with me should I put another {{db}} up. — SheeEttin {T/C} 02:25, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The image is still used on several talk pages (you see that in the "File links" section on the image description page, not via Whatlinkshere). While it is still in use, it should not be deleted. Many of the uses are probably through conditional template switches, so they require actual human work to check. Deletion is probably not urgent and you might get more help if you try WP:IFD instead of speedy deletion. Kusma (talk) 08:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Mmm... I wasn't aware of either of those things (file links or using IFD), as I don't often mark things for deletion (and if I do, it almost always qualifies for a speedy). Anyway, my personal philosophy is to delete or change the image in some way that informs a viewer that a preferred image is available, so that they may fix it as they come upon it (much more effort-saving than going through each one individually). But I guess that would be frowned upon. — SheeEttin {T/C} 20:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Richthofen

Regarding your interest in the issue [1], you may want to take a look at this thread, where I have put together my take on the situation. It would probably be best to continue this at Talk:Manfred_von_Richthofen, but I'm still waiting to hear a reply from Clawson. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 13:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I have put my proposal here, waiting for ideas and hopefully consensus. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 14:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

68.74.186.255

Say, do you know anything about the IP User_talk:68.74.186.255? I'm not sure what to make of that edits, it's not really intentional vandalism, it seems. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

No; I should have probably reverted with a more precise edit summary (the edit before his was vandalism), but I think your message should be fine and explain well enough what the problem is. Kusma (talk) 09:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

WP Munich

WikiProject Munich has over 20 members now which should make for a good WikiProject. To help organize the project, please put down some ideas at the talk page. Kingjeff 02:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Landtag

Ta. Only after I requested it, I noticed that we had the Landtag article already. I only requested it because the German wiki has it, but I suppose that the overall Landtag article will do for now (it covers both Austria and Germany).

While I am here, could I ask you to look at our St Andrew's Day article, and perhaps write a brief bit under "Germany and Austria"? Ta again. -- Mais oui! 11:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll have to do some research on that; I have never heard of the customs mentioned at de:Andreasnacht before. An interesting topic, I'll have a look later. Happy editing, Kusma (talk) 11:25, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks. -- Mais oui! 11:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Richthofen source

Danke, dass du diese zweite Quelle aufgetrieben hast. Dieser JohnHistory wurde verwarnt und sollte sich zukünftig ein wenig zurückhalten. Ich schau mal selber nach der Quelle und stell dann einen entsprechenden Vorschlag auf der talk page zusammen, okay? —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 23:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Viel Erfolg! Ich denke, nach einer halben Stunde in einer beliebigen Bibliothek sollten sich auch noch ein paar Quellen mehr finden lassen, die dann die eine oder andere Hypothese bestätigen. Kusma (talk) 19:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Y I have reinstated an extended variant of the paragraph including both sources. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 13:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Revived discussion concerning fair use in portals

I am contacting everyone who participated in the discussion that became inactive in December.

Hello

Hello, I stumbled across you on the GAC talk page and noticed you had added the small option to the GAnominee template and was wondering if you might be willing to help out by adding that option to some WikiProject templates (if they don't already have it, which most of them don't) Basically I was just hoping to get a couple templates from the National Register of Historic Places Project outfitted with the "small" option. If you could do this when you have time, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it, and be indebted to you. Thanks ahead of time. If you don't want to, just let me know. : )

• Template:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places
• Template:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places current collaboration
• Template:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places former collaboration
• Template:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places FLW collaboration

If you could just do those four for me, I could do everything else I need to do in the other projects I am involved in using your example. Thank you.IvoShandor 12:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I have added some "small" options; to make the templates look halfway decent in "small" size, I had to remove one of the pictures in that case. I hope this is more or less what you wanted. Happy editing, Kusma (talk) 05:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Unblocking

While I'll certainly leave it alone if you've already done so, I would appreciate some consultation next time, especially given that it was not only me that reviewed the situation. I certainly saw four reverts there, as did Yamla. While I may have been willing to unblock given agreement to continue the discussion, I don't see what that helps. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 20:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah alright, thank you for clarifying. The time zone bit can be confusing at times. Here's hoping it gets talked out successfully then! Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 21:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Kusma, glad to have an experienced admin take a closer look at things. Regards, ProhibitOnions ^(T) 21:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. I know I'm supposed to use the 'move' function rather than cut'n'paste. For some reason I just had a brainfart there at carrot and stick. Anyhoo, thanks for reminding me again! Take care. Vivaldi (talk) 23:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Audio-Datein

Hallo Kusma,

ich bin gerade dabei deutsche Namen einzusprechen und auf den commons hochzuladen (sieha dazu auch meine Benutzerseite auf den commons) und nachdem ich gesehen habe, daß du dich vormals um dt. sprachige Artikel kömmerst, wollte ich dich fragen, ob es irgendwelche wichtigen Namen gibt (historische Personen, Städte etc.) welche zuerst eingesprochen werden sollten. Falls du anregungen etc. hast, würde ich dich bitten auf meiner dt. Benutzerseite zu antworten. Manecke 16:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

ok gut, dann weiß ich bescheit :)

habe gestern schon angefangen ein paar einzusprechen und dachtet mein Vorgehen jetzt mal "Ofiziell" zu machen, denn gerade für amerikaner ist die dt. Aussprache sehr interessiert, wie ich schon öfters aus Gesprächen gehört habe. Ich werde mich auf jedenfall einmal dran setzten und dich nach Stand der Dinge am Laufenden halten. Manecke 16:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Noch eine kurze Nachfrage: die beiden Kategorien beeinhalten Diskussionsseiten; ist damit dann der dazugehörige Artikel gemeint? Manecke 16:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
