Persistant little bugger, ain't he? Psy guy (talk) 15:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just a schoolboy who is still amazed by the power to edit websites :-) Last time he was blocked for 24 hour, now 48, and if he comes back when I am online he'll be at 1 week next time. There are much more annoying vandal around. andy 15:40, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Korps Nationale Reserve

You deleted the Korps Nationale Reserve giving the reason that the pager was not in english. Might I suggest that the {{notenglish}} tag was created for this purpose, and that this is not a proper reason for speedy deletion of an article. DES (talk) 16:46, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It was just a simple sentence and a weblink, and as far as I can read it from the similarities of Dutch and German that sentence was less than a substub, and without any context. So even if that was created in english it could be considered a speedy deletion candidate - definitely not worth the worth to list it on the translations list. andy 19:50, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Err... Yeh.. they comments are not fake and im sure that the people that wrote them would be very unhappy with you, so im gonna remove that comment u put. --202.156.2.58 12:02, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone who can read the editing history know that my comment is correct, so if you remove it you risk to get blocked. andy 12:05, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Revrt with vandalism included

There were several edits taken out. Easier to revert all, check and then remove the vandalism than go through individually adding information.

German actors

I noticed your contributions at Curd Jürgens and thought you might be able to help with these German actor stubs:

I created them after doing some editing on the "Hollywood" section of "Military prison", where someone had mentioned one of Alberty's movies. I am most familiar with both of these gentleman by their performances in blockbuster World War II pictures, and do not know much about their German-language films. If you have anything to add, please do as the stubs are very bare at the moment. --Jpbrenna 02:07, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey you

Ok, then answer this, Do you enejoy writing articles? Do you think its fun? Well so do I! Why do you join Wikipedia if u think its not fun?? YOUR A LIER! --HelloolleH 11:26, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I enjoy writing articles about real things, to share knowledge and to learn myself. I don't enjoy people trying to destroy such work by inserting nonsense. And I definitely don't like people who call others "liar" but do exactly that thing themself. andy 11:29, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

HelloolleH

Hi Andy. Looks like we both decided that this HelloolleH had gone too far, but unless you lift my block on him, he will be unbanned in 24 hours. I am seven times more lenient than you. :-) Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:38, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I just thought that given his long list of wrongdoings (vandalism, stealing user pages, insults, pretending to be an admin, nonsense articles) a longer block may be fitting better. andy 11:42, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Trail Guide

Any suggestions regarding what to do about Trail Guide and his efforts to insert advertisement for one specific website to gambling articles? (Before this user account he was fighting you and Angela as 24.88.58.171.) - Tεxτurε 17:25, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Morphology page

Hi! I just logged in to find that a page I was currently writing had been deleted (for the second time) despite my putting a notice on the page that I was currently writing the article. I had also put in the following comment: "Please do NOT delete this page again. Personally I find it incredibly rude that not one person decided to consult me about the previous deletion when it clearly stated that I was doing a major edit."

Perhaps you could clear up why the page was deleted for me? Many thanks HowardBerry 17:02, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Because empty pages are speedy deletion candidates. The only thing that page contained was a {{inuse}} template and no editing history. And It is not Wiki way to "block" an article you plan to write about, and you have tried it before beginning of August, when it stayed for 4 days until it was deleted. The correct way is to write what you already have, even though it may be incomplete, and let others review it. And when you have time again return to the topic and continue from what you find then. The more exotic your topic the better the chances the only changes by others will be the correction of typing mistakes, but it's much more fun if others add stuff you haven't thought about before. If you want to collect notes you can also do it in a subpage of your userpage, e.g. User:HowardBerry/Morphology, you can even use that place to develop the article and move it into the main namespace once it is finished enough. andy 08:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

IP you just unblocked.

I've reblocked it for a week. I understand your concern, but I'm pretty sure it's an open proxy, given that the particular IP made personal threats against a user, purporting to know that user. It's either a Thai user who for some reason is making threats on English Wikipedia (which I doubt), or it's a troll or someone who knows that particular user. Either way, at least a week's block is in order. Ral315 14:51, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That IP is used by at least one ligitimate user (the oen who sent you the email), and all the other users of that ISP have no other chance but to use it. I know, normally it's the task of the ISP to fix that problem, but apparently many ISPs in Thailand are very clueless. Are you sure that troll is still active with the same proxy? I doubt it, normally trolls hop to the next proxy quickly. andy 16:08, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

AFD

You're an admin who the logs show as being active in the past few minutes, so could you have a look at AFD? The page seems a bit fucked up - all new entries are being automatically marked as "archived". Thanks. DS 13:25, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Landenberg

I recently created an article about my home, Landenberg... You promtly deleted it and rightly so It was a direct violation of the system and it was wrong of me... But I thought it was pretty funny as did several others and I wish to keep it... I will not abuse the system again. I just want the text of that article so that I can show my fellow landenberganians, So please if you could email the text to me at [email protected] I would really apreciate that, Thanks

Vandalism Clearup - Note of Thanks

Thanks for clearing up the senseless vandalism on my user page. Your help is very much appreciated. Andrew 23:24, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the redirect correction

Thanks for correcting the redirect from name at birth Robert Dennis Besser -> Robert Denning ... I had tried using the the entry from a page move, but it doesn't come out the same... How does one do that? Can one do a second page move of an empty page to create a redirect such as this? Doc 04:07, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Transclusion

Hi. Here's some boiler plate:

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Keep up the good work! - brenneman(t)(c) 12:07, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nipponaut

You might want to do your research before deleting my contribution. 68.229.246.38 11:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There have been several Japanese in space since the 1990s, and they were never called "nipponaut" anywhere. If you think that term might get coined if NASDA develops its own manned launcher - then it's speculation and does not belong into the article either as written down in Wikipedia:Original research. andy 11:37, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Naila

Hallo,

Habe gerade den deutschen Artikel "Naila" Teilweise übersetzt, ist aber wahrscheinlich fehlerhaft und auf jeden Fall unvollständig. Wäre für Hilfe dankbar, zumindest der Unterbereich "Mobilfunkstudie ist M.E. nach interessant für die Englischsprachige Leserschaft und sollte mal übersetzt werden oder vielleicht lohnt sich ein ganzer Artikel(?), immerhin wurde die Studie ja auch in der Englischsprachigen Fachpresse beachtet.

Thailand maps

Many thanks for your maps for Thailand, can you tell me what software you used for this and where you got the map data? I mainly work over on WikiNews which is why I'm asking. I'd like to put together a map showing Thailand, the four southern provinces labelled, and enough of Malaysia shown to label it. This is for the ongoing troubles in that part of the country which I've been reporting on. Brianmc 09:58, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried various ways, one of it was PanMap, which includes outlines of provinces, however outdated in some parts. That one will do for the southern provinces as those didn't change recently. I guess you need mostly the three muslim ones, but IHMO such a map should include Songkhla and Satun, both having a big number of muslim citizen as well. If you don't need such a map urgently I will put it on my todo list, and upload a blank and a labeled one to commons when finished. But it may take some days... andy 11:38, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take a look at PanMap, but I'd really appreciate if you could provide one or two maps. I've already got a Infobox template to put a small version of the map in. This also gives you a link to the articles done so far on the troubles. I think I saw one of them had been translated into German. Brianmc 11:46, 17 October 2005 (UTC) (Update infobox link, renamed to match Wikipedia article that I eventually found. :) Brianmc 14:22, 17 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Hello again, I didn't have much luck with PanMap, my hard disk died shortly after I installed it, and the free time I have to play on the computer got taken up on Wikinews. (See [2]). Any chance of a map for the infobox, or are you similarly suffering from a time shortage? Brianmc 19:49, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I usually only have short time to work for WP, especially not longer time at home to work on maps, usually I only do some edits during break at work, or using the laptop of my wife at home for few minutes. But it's definitely not forgotten. andy 20:20, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the update. I don't know how to do an interwiki link to my talk page on Wikinews, but I do use wikipedia every day or three, just drop a note there when you get time to do this. I don't know when I'll next have as big an article as the one above — that was quite a bit of work to put together. :) Brianmc 18:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Must've caught you at the right time. Looks good on my resolution/monitor, but I'd really appreciate a "world with a box" perspective. What I mean is a small corner with a standard global projection and a box around the area that makes up the main map. This is based on what I've seen the BBC do, and would probably be totally beyond me.
In any case, the map is on the infobox. I might need to review the stories to see if I need a textual description of the location. Suggestions would be welcome. And I hope you liked my Tak Bai anniversary article, a demonstation to me of how much work doing a good job on a wiki can be. :)Brianmc 21:37, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am extremely Sorry

Hello,

I really appreciate Wikipedia as a source of information and i have just became a member. I was curious about the moderation (administration) speed and quality of Wikipedia and I have made the picture vandalism for Isaac Newton.

I see that changes are done pretty quick and with great care. By the way I am a physicist too, thats why I chose Isaac Newton as my target. I should state again that I am really sorry that I have caused trouble for you (honestly).

I hope Wikipedia keeps up the good work (high quality and rich information) but by the way I am curious if you are having a good laugh when you encounter vandalisms (some of them), I mean you have to admit that the picture was funny

Thanks again goodbye you will not see any more vandalisms from myself...

Aachen

Before you continue to revert the article on Aachen be sure to read thoroughly the community consensus reached during the Talk:Gdansk/Vote. If you believe you are the right person to interpret its result, be sure to let others know at the relevant talk page before you act against the voting results. Cheers! Halibutt 21:18, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It may be difficult for a Polish nationalists to accept that the German history of Gdansk is by far different than a few Polish people living in Aachen. Insisting on the Polish name in the header (and even as the first foreign name) is simply trolling or a case of WP:POINT. I will not hesitate to revert that nonsense if it shows up again. andy 07:56, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bangkok Yai and king amphoe

Thank you for spotting the mistake in the year in Bangkok Yai article. It is now fixed. About king amphoe, I check http://www.dopa.go.th/web_pages/m03100000/data/dist_admin.htm which indicates that when a big amphoe that is not big enough to split into smaller amphoe's, king amphoe may be setup instead. The head of king amphoe is still the nai amphoe (นายอำเภอ) of the original amphoe it came from, with palat amphoe (ปลัดอำเภอ) being his assistant while nai amphoe is not in king amphoe. So the administration standpoint a king amphoe is still oversee by an amphoe. -- Lerdsuwa 04:26, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The law mentioned in the page (B.E. 2457) is very old. I am not sure that it still works this way (nai amphoe having authority over king amphoe). I would rather not adding parent to king amphoe info box until things become clear. -- Lerdsuwa 15:53, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

So I started working my way through the admin list to check on activity and have decided instead (given that off the top everybody appears to be active on the active list) to check for use of edit summaries at the same time. At the moment you seem below 50%, which is very low comparatively. Just a thought. Cheers, Marskell 00:14, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bhumi Jensen

Are you certain that "Bhumi" is not short for Bhumipol? It seems logical that he should have been named for his grandfather. Adam 23:00, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, but the fact that a google search for ภูมิพล เจนเซ่น (what would be the Thai spelling of Bhumipol Jensen) gives zero hits makes me quite certain. But as Bhumi ภูมิ is the same spelling as in Bhumipol, maybe only the first two syllables were used as a way to honor without being disrespectful. But for that you'd better ask someone from Thailand. andy 23:09, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Inge Müller

Hello, good work on Inge Müller, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Inge Müller? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 21:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I did not shorten it - apparently that IP wasn't blocked at all as I only block someone who is currently vandalizing. Thus something like this can only happen if we block at nearly the same time. andy 19:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Escondido Charter High School

Why did you delete this? The original page that I made was in NO way nonsensical. This page was simply stating facts about my school. I was not trying to make fun of the school and I can assure you that most of the faculty would agree with me. Please put my ORIGINAL page back up!!! It was other students (from my school) that made the nonsensical remarks on the page, not me.

to give an example of the odd nature of my school you can view Saxon Daywhich was created quite some time ago by my fellow chartarians (both the entry and the holiday with the help of Mr. Endermann from Escondido Charter High School)

Even your original version isn't really what an encyclopedia entry should be - words like "proud" or "odd" or "wonderful" don't fit into a neutral article. Just an arbitrary example of how a really good school article should look like: Deerfield Academy. Of course a first version doesn't has to be as good as that one, but (at least the version when I deleted it) looked like written by a student unhappy with his school. andy 08:45, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Botanical Name Game

I noticed you switched Plantago major to Broadleaf Plantain, and was wondering why? There are at least 3 other plants that are called "Broadleaf Plantain". SB Johnny 22:07, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Then Broadleaf Plantain should be a disambiguation page. It's standard here to have plants at their common name, and the scientific name as a redirect. Or maybe it should be moved to Greater Plantain? Or, if P. major is the most well-known plant with that name, there can also be a disambiguation in the first line of the article, like in John F. Kennedy. andy 22:12, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
That could get pretty crazy, aspecially when it comes to plants which are both weeds and medicinals.SB Johnny 11:30, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
What is the problem? If a plant is both a weed and a medicinal then both aspects of the plant belong into the same article. But the best place to discuss the policy (and also check the previous discussions about it) is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life. andy 12:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Crazy because there are a lot of common names held in common. I couldn't find the debate on it... I'm relatively new to wiki.

Chiang Rai... American Missionary... city walls

Very interesting assertion. It may well be true. Could you please elaborate. Who was the missionary? What is your source of information? Thanks.

That one wasn't added by me, but by User:203.155.1.245. If you have doubt about it being real you better post the question to Talk:Chiang Rai, and if you are quite sure it is wrong delete it and post the question to the talk page. andy 17:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have noted on the talk page that I will delete the assertion if no source is forthcoming. I have also heard it said that cannon were mounted in the windows of Overbrook Hospital by the American missionaries who founded the hospital during the geral insurrection against the Bangkok regime at the beginning of last century. May well be true. But what is the source? None was forthcoming. I don't think that unsubstantiated rumors have a place on the wikipedia, do you? Jfmxl 03:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly - if it's just a rumor it doesn't belong here, unless it is such a popular one that it is notable by itself, but of course then clearly marked as a rumor or legend. If it is a pet theory of one historian, or maybe even the one who wrote it here, it falls under the Wikipedia:No original research policy and should be deleted as well. andy 10:28, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Los Ríos Province|Los Ríos

I saw your fixes on Guayas. I moved: Los Ríos -> Los Ríos Province. Until now I don't know how to use popups assistance. More moves can be seen in the hist of Template:Provinces of Ecuador. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 16:39, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It were not only the Ecuadorian provinces, the last days I also fixed many such disambiguations. When creating disambiguations you should fix the pages which link there if possible, and the popups helper is really handy for such a task. I haven't checked all the FIPS listings yet, there may be many more links which need fixing. andy 16:43, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a lot of them were created by me. I mostly only fix in lists and templates, but not very much in individual articles. I hope other people will do this (e.g. the editors of the articles). Sometimes I found it even impossible to fix, because I didnt know what the article referred to. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 03:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However I think for Los Rios a page Los Rios (disambiguation) and the header {{Otheruses}} would be more fitting - almost all links will be about the province, unless you missed any important other meaning. andy 16:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont like this, because it invites people to link to Los Rios. And then one day you find other meanings of Los Rios and have to move and fix. Fuerthermore, if the dab is on the pure name page, you can be on a specific page and strip of everything behind the pure name and get the other meanings. Santa Ana something - delete something and you have the dab. IMO the {{{otheruses}}} looks not very nice and should not be added to the 20 or so Santa Ana pages. IMO it distracts the reader. BTW I would not have noticed your reply, but i came here for [5] I alpha-sort by country, and unpipe links, so the reader can directly see where the link goes. The latter is also WP:MoS dab-pages. I wikify the country names, what would go against the style guide. But since the stuff is indented I think it does not really hurt/distract. Some people favor one-link-only per dabbed article. regards Tobias Conradi (Talk) 03:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

just for your interest: Loja - in contrary to the other provinces you popup-used "Loja (province)" not Loja Province. I changed Loja (city) to Loja, Ecuador. [6] Tobias Conradi (Talk) 03:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

using WP:RM takes lot of time. as admin you maybe can convert the Marañón 's:

  • Marañón, Navarre (comma -not paranthesis- for city-dab)
  • Marañón River (only one river afaik)

Talk:Districts of Pakistan could not move two districts to "X District". Can you do it without WP:RM? If not, maybe you can at least "vote". Tobias Conradi (Talk) 02:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another case, this time in India: Amritsar District. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 09:05, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be away for three weeks, so I have no time to check for those moves right now. It'd be helpful however if you would not only create the disambiguations (BTW: the {{dab}} belongs to the bottom), but also fix the links instead of making the list on Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links longer instead of shorter. It starts to get boring to do the cleanup work for others all the time. andy 12:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For others? Nobody forces you to work on disambiguation in specific or in WP in general. If you are bored and don't like to be so, you might consider change something in your life. BTW bots can move the {{{dab}}} down and insert "blabla may refer to" . The dab-department could also decide one dab-template that can be used at the top. bot work for bots, human work for humans.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Thai districts

About the Thai districts project, I have thought about it myself and decide to finish up all the district stubs before doing something about the project. It will be useful to keep track what content a article still lack. I don't count on it attracting any new wikipedian though :( -- Lerdsuwa 15:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

January 22 is fine, thanks. -- Lerdsuwa 16:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transnistria

Hallo Andy! Kannst du bitte auch hier Transnistria gucken? danke Bonaparte talk 12:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Äh, und warum? Daß ich gerade rumänische Links korrigiere ist reiner Zufall, ich habe kein gesteigertes Interesse an Rumänien. Es sind nur viele viele Links zu Landesunterteilungen durch neue Begriffsklärungen korrekturbedürftig geworden, nicht nur bezüglich Rumänien. andy 12:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Darum :)! Eben, Transnistria gehört nicht zu Rumänien :) sondern zu Moldawien. Es wäre gut wenn duch auch die moldawische Links korrigierst. Ich kann nur sagen daß gibt noch viele Links noch. Viel spaß noch :) Bonaparte talk 12:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Gemach, nach ein paar südamerikanischen Staaten ist Rumänien jetzt anscheinend eine etwas größere Baustelle, es sind etwa doppelt so viele Links pro County die zu korrigieren sind. Und welches Land dann das nächste ist weiß ich noch nicht, und ob sich nicht vielleicht auch mal jemand anders um diese Linkfixes kümmert. Und eigentlich will auch mal zwischendurch was schreiben :-) andy 13:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Danke Andy! Schreib über Moldawien oder Rumänien bitte :). Bist du schon sysop oder? Bonaparte talk 13:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

German city names

Hello Andy, I'm the same User:Manop from Thai Wikipedia. I want to write some German city names to Thai language. I would like to put in to this page th:ฟุตบอลโลก 2006 (Football World Cup 2006); it's hot topic now. Many of those name I could not find the official name in Thai and also I can not read Germany. All the names are the place where the game will be hold are listed below:

  • Berlin
  • Dortmund
  • Frankfurt
  • Gelsenkirchen
  • Hamburg
  • Hanover (Hannover)
  • Kaiserslautern
  • Cologne (Köln)
  • Leipzig
  • Munich (München)
  • Nuremberg (Nürnberg)
  • Stuttgart

If you have a good website for those names, please let me know. Thanks a bunch,-- th:User:Manop 10:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know any website, but I can check the travel guide of my wife tonight for the spellings used there, at least most of the cities should be mentioned there. But you also need the name of the stadium in Thai transcription, don't you? That'll be much more work... Maybe you can find a Thai fan site on the German Bundesliga? But I found most with some google: ฮันโนเวอร์, โคโลญ (or โคโลญจ์), สตุ๊ตการ์ท, ไลป์ซิก, เนิร์นแบร์ก, ไกเซอร์สเลาเทิร์น, เกลเซนเคียร์เช่น. Most spellings are from pages at manager.co.th. andy 12:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you --manop 20:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The guidebook (of the Insight Guides series) has some different spellings: ซตุทการ์ท นูเร์มแบร์ก ไลพ์ซิก โคโลญงน์ ฮานโนเวอร์. Kaiserslautern and Gelsenkirchen aren't in that book. Maybe have to do the google test to find the most popular spelling. andy 21:44, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One thing that I found on Google Test for Munich
Thai WP uses มิวนิก / 615 on Google
but มิวนิค / 15,000 on Google (most of them are from the football club, Bayern Munich)

Bits

  • 22nd of january might be difficult, as I play comedy everyday. And on sunday we play in Rama IX cafe at 20.30. I will try though.
  • There now is a Thai IMDB with Thai movies and actors in english and thai :) [7]
  • I will help out where I can with the districts. I am still against the Amphoe Meuang = The capital reasoning though. As it is just not right! ;) Waerth 08:36, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In the meantime I have learned that the thesaban mueang and amphoe mueang are not the same (but it seems many Thai don't know about the thesaban either), but at least for simplicity (and until there is content on the city by itself) IMHO the two can be covered in one article. andy 12:46, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I understand but it is currently screwing up the interwikibots. Because I do split it out. Waerth 06:58, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They still threw it away even though a majority voted keep. Waerth 11:16, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that with surprise as well. Seems like on de: list articles are not wanted anymore - I am tempted to nominate one quite standard list like "List of countries by population" for deletion with the same reason "database article", even though that'd be a violation of WP:Point (not sure if they have that policy on de: as well). Maybe it's time to create these lists here, a complete Amphoe list would be helpful here anyway to see how many red links are left for the Wikiproject... andy 12:00, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What worries me more. A swiss list was up for deletion as well. But that was kept. Because it was for german swiss speakers. And someone even remarked as opposed to a Thai list this is usefull for german speakers. I am starting to feel articles are being deleted out of us is better than them views.

Beschwerde über dich

Hallo, ich bin von dir mehr als enttäuscht. Es ist verständlich, dass dir die juristischen Feinheiten am A*** vorbeigehen, aber wir deutschen Gelegenheits-Benutzer haben ein Recht, dass du uns hilfst und uns unterstützst. Laut [9] hat einer der kundigsten deutschen Benutzer in Sachen Bildrechte, Verwaltungsbeamter einer deutschen Stadt und Mitauror eines juristischen Kommentars, entnervt das Handtuch geworfen und seine Mitarbeit in en aufgegeben. C. Löser, der als letzter revertiert hat, ist Jura-Student. Mir selbst werden überdurchschnittlich gute Kenntnisse der bildrechtlichen Problematik zugeschrieben. In Sachen einer anderen Urheberrechtsproblematik habe ich Village Pump und die Copyright-Seite vergeblich angesprochen, eine persönliche Mail an Soufron und juriwiki-l blieb ohne Resonanz. Von der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia bin ich - auch was die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft von Admins angeht - anderes gewohnt. Ich habe dich freundlich angesprochen, wurde aber von dir abgewimmelt. Ich möchte dich nun um zwei Dinge bitten:

  • Sperre bitte das Template in einer Version, die erkennen lässt, dass sein Einsatz nicht zu verantworten ist.
  • Bitte nenne mir einige Admins, die entweder Deutsch als Muttersprache haben oder es sehr gut verstehen und die du empfehlen kannst. Vielleicht sind die netter als Du. Danke --Historiograf 18:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. mehr als enttäuscht. this is even better than versage uns deine hilfe nicht. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 12:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, daß Admins verpflichtet wären auf Wünsche von anderen Users einzugehen die sie selbst nicht interessieren ist mir neu - wenn das in de: so ist dann bin ich froh meinen Schwerpunkt auf en: gelegt zu haben. Ich habe mich damals als admin beworben um beim Aufräumen von Vandalismus besser mitzuhelfen, und zumindest damals war es nur nötig, vertrauenswürdig zu sein. Außerdem sind admins hier keine besonderen Benutzer, sondern haben einfach nur ein paar mehr Funktionen zu Verfügung. Dementsprechend kann jeder Benutzer dein Anliegen weiter forcieren, es muß kein Admin sein, auch wenn vielleicht ein bekannter Admin leichter Gehör findet. Zu deinen expliziten Wünschen:
  • Seiten einfach so sperren darf hier kein Admin, dafür gibt es Wikipedia:Protection requests.
  • Andere deutschsprachige Admins kann ich leider nicht nennen, bei den 700+ Admins hier habe ich keinen Überblick mehr. Die Admins, mit denen ich bisher häufiger Kontakt hatte, sprechen AFAIK kein oder nur kaum Deutsch. andy 18:56, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tirap Lohit

you did

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Indian_districts&diff=34882292&oldid=34196274

you were reverted by Nichalp.

if i look in history of Tirap and Lohit it seems as if I created the pages just now. but your edits let me assume you fixed links to dab-pages. As admin you may have more rights to see what happend. Can you explain this? Just curious. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because Nichalp deleted the disambiguation version with the comment "make space for move", and then moved the town page back into place. The history as a disambiguation can only be seen as an administrator... You better discuss with him why he wants the town at the plain article name. At least he should have moved the disambiguation to Tirap (disambiguation) first, now it cannot be undeleted without mixing the histories of the town and the disambiguation article. andy 02:54, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
thx a lot. best regards Tobias Conradi (Talk) 05:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Media:Example.ogg

My history says I added this, but I certainly don't remember doing so. Since you are removing this from user pages, can you tell me what it is? I'm curious how this snuck its way onto my user page. -- 65.8.5.246 17:29, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably you clicked on the button in the editing toolbar by accident. Usually this one shows up when a newbie does editing experiments, thus I occassionally look through Ogg (and similar ones) to clean up the articles. If it's on user or talk pages I also remove it, so that list of pages which include the example.ogg stays short and manageable. andy 12:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
