Warning

R9t and Lucpol, to both of you: this is a final warning. You both went back to blind reverts on Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union immediately after that last block. You've been doing this for many weeks now, without any constructive discussion. I expect you guys to start discussing now and work it out together. If I see any more non-consensual reversions of this material in the article, you will both be blocked for a good long time. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to George W. Bush, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Gwernol 01:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You added "In March 2003, Bush ordered an invasion of Iraq,due to the purposely manipulated information of the belief that Iraq" – that's your opinion, not a fact. If you don't understand that this is opinion, then I suggest you stop editing, since you clearly don't understand the concept of neutrality at all. Gwernol 01:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wiedervereinigung

Wiedervereinigung. I deleted those edit because they were distructive and agressive. But Pan Turkism, WHICH I ALSO OPPOSE, is only romantical and historical. That's why I deleted them.

And can you expalin your anti-turkish POV to me please. What could a norwegian-american-german-etc..ian mixed person suffer from turks? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Birisi (talk • contribs) 06:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for long

You just came back from two week-long blocks, you got my warning just above, and yet you continued several of your old longterm revert wars today (on Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union [1], on Free City of Danzig [2], on Oksywie culture [3], and on Alsace [4]) and started new edit wars on other titles such as Vincent Bochdalek [5] and George W. Bush [6]. This can't be tolerated. Following my warning, I'm blocking you again for a longer period: one month this time. Please when you come back make sure you very seriously reconsider your attitude to Wikipedia editing, otherwise you'll soon be indef-blocked next time. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't strike out valid and ongoing block messages. The rest I am ignoring due to the inappropriate language and shouting. When you are calm enough to discuss this rationally, you can add an {{unblock}} request. Gwernol 21:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WHY SHOULD I ADD AN UNBLOCK REQUEST? I WONT BE UNBLOCKED... AND WHY SHOULD I BE HERE AT ALL IF I CANNOT EDIT CONSTRUCTIVELY WITHOUT BEING HARRASSED EVERY DAY? HMM, TELL ME THAT!!!!??? WHY SHOULD I STAY CALM AND ACT CIVIL WHEN PEOPLE DONT ACT THAT WAY TO ME?

Its fine with me if you don't ask for an unblock. If you don't ask for one, your block won't be lifted. The allegation that you are being blocked because you are German is simply false, but if it makes you feel better to believe that, please do. However, making such unfounded allegations makes is significantly less likely that anyone will take you seriously here. When you are able to edit constructively, we will all welcome your contributions. So far you have not demonstrated that. Gwernol 22:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

THATS BECAUSE ALL MY EDITS ARE REVERTED, COVERED UP, AND PARADED INSTEAD AS "VANDALISM." I DONT NEED TO PAY TAXES IF THERE IS NONE TO PAY. -- Hrödberäht (gespräch) 22:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

May 2007 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I – May 2007

From the editor

This is the first issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts.

Other areas where you can help

Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
- Transportation in Germany
- German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
- German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized

Project news

Criteria for B-Class status: The assessment criteria for B-Class have been changed. {{WikiProject Germany}} template now has 5 switches, B-Class-1 through B-Class-5 that correspond to 5 easily checked criteria that an article should meet to be assessed as B-Class. The advantage of this system is that now there is a clear boundary between Start-Class and B-Class articles. Authors of articles that were assessed as Start-Class now get more direct feedback what they should improve to attain a B-Class rating.

All of our B-Class, Start-Class and Stub-Class articles now need to be checked whether they meet any of the B-Class criteria. This is a major effort, and we need your help! If you want to help, but don't know how, please post at the project talkpage.

Cities and municipalities task force

A task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities has been started and is looking for help.

This newsletter was delivered by Kusma using AWB to all members of WikiProject Germany. If you do not want to receive this newsletter in the future, please leave a note at the talk page of the Outreach department so we can come up with a better spamlist solution. Thank you, Kusma 12:08, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-Assessments-
An intial round of assessments was recently done on all pages within the scope of WPND. These initial assessments...all 1,200 of them...were done by MatthewUND. Matthew tried to generally follow the assessment guidelines found at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.

To see the assessment of any North Dakota page, simply go to the page's talk page and check the WPND banner. The assessment is presented in a color-coded field in the WPND banner. To change an assessment, edit the page and change the word after "class=" in the WPND banner. Add one of the following codes:

Stub – for very small articles

Start – for slightly longer, higher quality articles

B – for high quality articles of an appropriate length

List – for lists

Cat – for categories

Template – for templates

NA – for pages that are not articles, templates, or categories

Any WPND member should feel free to change any page's assessment. However, keep in mind that there are assessments (particularly GA for "Good Article" or FA for "Featured Article") which can't be applied without having gone through a nomination process.

---North Dakota Portal---
Wikipedia now has a new portal devoted exclusively to the state of North Dakota. Check out Portal:North Dakota.

WPND member NDCompuGeek has constructed the initial framework for the portal and it should now be easy to update the portal on a month-by-month basis. The portal will serve as a kind of "front door" for people using Wikipedia to learn more about North Dakota. It is a great starting point for branching out into the many aspects of the state.

Each month a different article, picture, city, and biography will be showcased along with current news and happenings from around the state. The July version of the portal showcases the Mandan tribe, Governor John Hoeven, and the capital city of Bismarck.

Visit the portal's talk page to share your opinions and ideas regarding the portal.

The WikiProject North Dakota newsletter is a work in progress so please share your ideas about how the newsletter can be improved.

List of best-selling handheld video games

Hi R9tgokunks. You are off to such a great start on the article List of best-selling handheld video games that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 21:01, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citation would be most useful

In this rather radical edit you cite " Info from National Geographic Magazine". Since this is rather important, could you provide a more exact citation? __meco 19:21, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Detroit Lakes, Minnesota Page

The inaccuracy that you added to the Detroit Lakes, Minnesota page was not appropriate. Many have been working hard on this WikiProject Minnesota page, only to have it repeatedly vandalized. To claim without factual evidence that the high school has a "high drop out rate" is completely against the ethical standards of this encyclopedia. As this is your first of such on this page, we will give you the benefit of the doubt that it was done out of good faith. I welcome you to contribute factual information to the page, but I kindly ask you to refrain from further vandalizing it. Thank you for understanding. UMINN44 26 July 2007

New North Dakota articles

News
---Grand Forks now a Featured Article---
Grand Forks, North Dakota was recently designated as a Featured Article. This means that the article has gone through a nomination process in which it was reviewed and its quality was assessed. The fact that this article made it through the process shows that it is a high quality, well-written, well-sourced article. Currently, there are only a little over 1,500 Featured Articles in the almost two million articles on the English language Wikipedia. That means that only about one in 1,270 articles has been given this designation.

The Grand Forks article is a great example to follow when working on other city articles, particularly those about North Dakota cities. We would be very well off if our other major city articles were similar to the Grand Forks article. Keep the Grand Forks article bookmarked and refer to its structure and style when you work on similar articles.

---New assessment parameter---
You're likely aware that all WPND articles now include a quality rating located on the article's talk page. Now, a new assessment parameter is being implemented. The importance rating aims to gauge the "importance" of the article's subject as it relates to North Dakota. As an example, Bismarck, North Dakota would not be considered as being very important in relation to the country or the world, but it is of top importance when considering just the state of North Dakota.

The importance of each article is gauged as either Top, High, Mid, or Low. Since "importance" is a rather subjective term, some WPND members are trying to come up with a general set of guidelines. Check out this thread on the WPND talk page to see proposals and to share your own opinions of what is and isn't "important" in the state.

The WikiProject North Dakota newsletter is a work in progress so please share your ideas about how the newsletter can be improved.

South Tyrol

hello there R9tgokunks, you once voted and showed interest on the topic of South Tyrol. Certain Italian users just can't seem to give the topic a rest and had the article moved with a sham vote to the Italian name. I am calling for that vote to be annulled or at least extended so that more can vote and the result be representative. Drop by the talk page or drop me a message if you would like to share your thoughts, I am interested in hearing from you. sincerely Gryffindor 04:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting of List of best-selling video games

Please stop splitting the article. It is becoming vandalism. If you had actually read the Wikipedia:Article size page clearly, you would realize that there is no such requirement, especially for lists. What the article does clearly state is that you should not be hasty and should discuss the proposed split with other editors before doing so. I'm sorry, but Wikipedia rules are vastly more judicial than a person's opinion. So please stop this and discuss on the talk page first. Zomic_13 02:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please upload map to commons

Hi, please consider uploading your improved version "Image:Historisches deutsches Sprachgebiet2.PNG" of the disputed "Image:Historisches deutsches Sprachgebiet2.PNG" also to Commons, preferably by updating the disputed version with yours, also to end that edit war there. Currently, no article links to your version. -- Matthead ^discuß! O 14:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Over at commons, the edit war was stopped, Rex' version with big red letters now gone. Yours is still better than the current by Postmann.-- Matthead ^discuß! O 18:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! If you want to upload your image to Commons, please use a different name, such as "Image:Historisches deutsches Sprachgebiet2.PNG". That way projects them selves can choose which version to use, and at the moment the other image is protected, so it can't be overwritten. Samulili 05:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please

Please desist from this sort of vandalism, will you? JDG 18:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh...my...g-- your wiseguy response on my Talk page led me to review a bit of your edit history. You have got to be one of the most poisonous editors I've yet come across. You are exactly the sort who introduces dozens upon dozens of small, hard to catch errors, the sort who really may keep Wikipedia from being a respected reference tool in academic and professional circles. I strongly urge Administrators and Bureaucrats to review the many, many errors flowing from this individual and to take steps immediately to protect Wikipedia from him. Here is one editor's compilation of a few days' worth of r9tgokunks toxic input:

The history of that article seems to show this is the IP address of User:R9tgokunks (see 29 September). Further evidence for this comes from looking at the history of the article Calque – cf ([9], [10], [11] and then your latest experience [12]); also cf Prekmurje ([13] and [14] – anyone for grammer?), Spitz ([15], [16]) or [17] with [18].
Overall, I suspect at least Special:Contributions/172.190.32.51 (numerous warnings on talkpage), [19] (that you encountered first), [20], (one block from you) and Special:Contributions/209.244.42.97 (much edit-warring in history and almost identical edits here, here and [21]) are User:R9tgokunks.
Personally, I'm worried about the amount of just plain wrong information this editor is including – even if it's written in the best of faith, it leads people astray. See here, here, here, here, here, here and here for a sample of mistakes I've corrected. Looking at [22], he knows a little German, but certainly not enough to avoid simple errors when editing German language related articles. A little knowledge can indeed be a dangerous thing – see [23].
It might be worth having a chat with User:Future Perfect at Sunrise who blocked them previously for edit-warring and knows more about them. Might be worth a checkuser too. Knepflerle 12:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do something about this guy. JDG 23:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nin limitless potential.JPG)

Thanks for uploading File:Nin limitless potential.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Wherever you've made edits to etymological information in the past, they were all wrong and they were all reverted. Your edits today are no different. Please just give it up.
