Welcome![edit]

Hi, Traktorist82. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

I'm surprised that after 47 helpful edits nobody has greeted you yet. References are very much appreciated, so it's really helpful that you're adding them. I'm not aware of this being done for alumni of any other university, so I hope that others will take an example from you.

There's just one minor thing I have to revert: Your removal of the links here. Was that because they are redlinks? If so, we don't usually remove such links - see WP:REDDEAL. BTW, the link occurrs twice, which is OK in this case - see WP:REPEATLINK. — Sebastian 04:43, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sebastian. I removed this link because he was wrong. It led to the wrong person. Not to the bishop Magnus Haraldsson (to which no entry exists) but to the swedish king Magnus Haraldsson.

Oh, I see! I decided for now to change the name by adding "(bishop of Skara)". On second glance, I noticed that there were many more such false blue links, and I did the same for them, which unfortunately leaves only few blue links in the list. — Sebastian 22:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I presumed you were trying to enter the immatriculation information for Magnus Haraldsson, so I tried to find him at http://matrikel.uni-rostock.de/simplesearch.action. But this requires the last name, which is of no use for the Name Name-son pattern. I tried my luck by Haraldsson as a last name both for "Schweden" and "Dänemark", but that didn't find anything. — Sebastian 16:52, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's right, you can't find him by searching for the name Magnus Haraldsson because he did not sign up by the name Magnus Haraldsson but by the name Magnus Haraldi. Try "Expertensuche" by entering this: +db:matrikel1419 +( nachname:har* nachname_normal:har*) +( vorname:magn* vorname_normal:magn*) +immatr_jahr:[1419 TO 1831] and you will find 2 persons.
