Diskuse s wikipedistou:Hrhr2

Vítejte

Rádi bychom Vás přivítali na české Wikipedii!

Začal(a) jste dobře. Děkujeme za Vaše příspěvky k tvorbě encyklopedie.

Pokud jste tak ještě neučinil(a), doporučujeme Vám přečíst si nejdříve některé stránky, které Vám přiblíží provoz a zvyky na Wikipedii:

Vítejte! – Nápověda – Průvodce Wikipedií – Pět pilířů Wikipedie – Co Wikipedie není – Jak zakládat nové články

tlačítko vkládání podpisu

Několik základních rad:

• Na diskusních stránkách se vždy podepisujte: stačí napsat 4 vlnovky ~~~~ nebo je vložit klepnutím na patřičnou ikonu v liště nad editačním oknem. Naopak články se nepodepisují.
• Opravdu se nebojte editovat. Když se Vám občas něco nepovede, jiní to spraví.

Další informace najdete na portálu Wikipedie.

Tak ještě jednou vítejte a děkujeme za Vaše příspěvky. Doufáme, že se vám přispívání bude dařit.

Zdravím. Pazuzu není autorem, článku Politika 21, je jím 213.226.213.133, jak můžete zjistit z historie. Šablona {{Urgentně upravit autor}} se vkládá autorovi článku, ne tomu, kdo ji vložil do článku.

Díky za pomoc s údržbou článku na Wikipedii. --Japo ¿ 15:10, 16. 7. 2007 (UTC)

Předsedové Politiky 21

Dobrý den, děkuji Vám za první informace v článku Předsedové Politiky 21. Bohužel jeho rozsah nebo zpracování zatím nedosahuje ani minimální nutné délky. Pokuste se prosím text článku rozšířit. Pokud se nám to ani společnými silami nepodaří, po sedmi dnech se rozhodneme, zda pro udržení kvality Wikipedie není vhodnější takový článek úplně odstranit. Děkuji za pochopení. --Pazuzu 17:34, 16. 7. 2007 (UTC)

Článek jsem změnil na přesměrování na Politika 21, protože si myslím, že nemá cenu mít seznam o (zatím) jednom členu. Stačí ho integrovat do článku Politika 21, což jsem udělal. --Japo ¿ 17:51, 16. 7. 2007 (UTC)

Krajské zastupitelstvo

Dobrý den, děkuji Vám za první informace v článku Krajské zastupitelstvo. Bohužel jeho rozsah nebo zpracování zatím nedosahuje ani minimální nutné délky. Pokuste se prosím text článku rozšířit. Pokud se nám to ani společnými silami nepodaří, po sedmi dnech se rozhodneme, zda pro udržení kvality Wikipedie není vhodnější takový článek úplně odstranit. Děkuji za pochopení. --Japo ¿ 08:17, 17. 7. 2007 (UTC)

Používání tlačítka náhledu

Děkuji za Vaše příspěvky do Wikipedie. Zároveň Vás však prosím o častější používání tlačítka Ukázat náhled. To Vám ukáže, jak bude článek vypadat po Vašich úpravách, ale nic se nezapisuje do historie článku ani do seznamu posledních změn. Stránka posledních změn je pro wikipedisty velmi důležitá, jelikož se na ní zobrazují veškeré změny ve Wikipedii. Při častém ukládání jednoho článku jednou osobou se poslední změny i historie článku zbytečně přeplňují a znepřehledňují.

Až budete mít pocit, že jsou Vaše úpravy hotovy, zadejte do pole Shrnutí stručný popis Vámi provedených změn a změny uložte. Uložením zároveň dáváte najevo, že další změny v nejbližších okamžicích neplánujete a že se jiní wikipedisté mohou na článek vrhnout, opravit překlepy či jej doplnit. V případě častého ukládání hrozí riziko, že dojde k tzv. editačnímu konfliktu, tedy stavu, kdy dva wikipedisté editují tentýž článek zároveň. Díky moc za pochopení. S přáním pěkného dne --Mercy 07:39, 18. 7. 2007 (UTC)

Rubén Serrano

Prosím zvažte změnu svého názoru u hlasování o smazání článku Rubén Serrano. I ze španělské Wikipedie byl tento španělský autor smazán jako nevýznamný, ostatní jazykové verze tento multispam postupně mažou také. Skutečně se nedomnívám, že by pro českou Wikipedii byl dostatečně významný a že tato významnost je v článku podložena nezávislými zdroji. --Ragimiri 10:39, 3. 6. 2008 (UTC)

Závody F1

--Bubbola 27. 7. 2008, 17:22 (UTC)

Vítání

Ahoj, nevítej prosím nováčky, kteří nemají žádnou editaci. To bychom pak mohli vyslat robota, kterýby vítal za nás. Šablonu {{vítejte}} prosím vkládej jen těm, kteří již mají nějakou užitečnou editaci. Díky moc, --Podzemnik 29. 12. 2008, 10:09 (UTC)

Gymnázium Josef Jugmanna

Proč jsou zde uvedeny konkrétní počty studentů, to je budeme každý půlrok měnit ? --MiroslavJosef 3. 1. 2009, 20:05 (UTC)

Proč ne? --Hrhr2 3. 1. 2009, 20:08 (UTC)

Proč ano - když někdo odejde nebo zemře tak to budete aktualizovat ? A jste si jist, že je studentů přesně 301 ?? Není jich náhodou 302 nebo 299 ?! IMHO nesmysl ** --MiroslavJosef 3. 1. 2009, 20:10 (UTC)

Jsem si tím jist, mám údaje z oficiálních stránek. --Hrhr2 3. 1. 2009, 20:12 (UTC)

A jste si jist, že jsou oficiální stránky opravdu aktuální ? ** Pořad Vám nerozumím --MiroslavJosef 3. 1. 2009, 20:14 (UTC)

Pokud vám to tak vadí, tak to klidně odstraňte. --Hrhr2 3. 1. 2009, 20:18 (UTC)

Experimenty

Zdravim, co se týče ip 158.194.9.36, zrušil jsem tebou vložené experimenty. Dotyčný se očividně snažil o zkvalitnění článku a jen při tom s největší pravděpodobností neúmyslně z neznalosti zrušil některé náležitosti, které měli zůstat (formátování, iw, kategorie). Nejedná se tedy o žádné experimentování, se kterým by bylo nutné vyhánět ho na pískoviště. Naopak, mělo přijít uvítání a upozornění, rada jak přispívat tak, aby to splňovalo zdejší požadavky. Prosím příště o větší uvážlivost při vkládání této šablony, bylo by škoda odradit potencionálního přispěvatele.

S pozdravem Jedudědek 4. 3. 2009, 13:21 (UTC)

Prosba z Wikisource

Ahoj, prosím tě, můžeš na své uživatelské stránce na Wikisource upravit červené odkazy v nálepkách (Bydliště, Wikipedie, IMHO, Wikipedie:Inkluzionsta), aby směřovaly na Wikipedii (tj. [[w:IMHO|IMHO]] apod.)? Nechal jsem vygenerovat seznam chybějících stránek a zbytečně se to v něm objevuje, protože to jsou odkazy do tamějšího hlavního jmenného prostoru. Nebo to mohu udělat za tebe, ale nechtěl jsem ti svévolně sahat do uživatelské stránky. ;-) Předem díky. --Milda 20. 3. 2009, 15:53 (UTC)

Šablona

Šablona {{Portál Švýcarsko}} založena. --Faigl.ladislav _slova^činy 3. 5. 2009, 13:08 (UTC)

Jen jestli ještě můžu. Použij prosím místo té křiklavé červené tuto #D81E05. Je to stejná barva jako má Švýcarsko na vlajce. --Faigl.ladislav _slova^činy 3. 5. 2009, 13:10 (UTC)

Děkuji a poslechnu, jen co to dodělám. --Hrhr2 3. 5. 2009, 13:11 (UTC)

Chronologický vývoj rekordu - Mistrovství světa v ledním hokeji

Zdravím, můžete mi prosím vysvětlit, jaký mají smysl tyto tabulky??? Kdybych se nezajímal o hokejové statistiky, tak bych vůbec nepochopil, o čem ta tabulka je. Pro mne je jasné, že Kanada byla v letech 1920 až 1985 na prvním místě podle medailí, ale dalších 90% lidí to z té tabulky nevyčte. Chtělo by to aspoň nějak upravit. Děkuji za pochopení. S přáním pěkného dne --Niccolo 10. 5. 2009, 12:36 (UTC)

Kdybych se nezajímal o hokejové statistiky, tak bych vůbec nepochopil, o čem ta tabulka je. Kdo se nezajímá o hokejové statistiky, nebude číst heslo Mistrovství světa v ledním hokeji.

ale dalších 90% lidí to z té tabulky nevyčte. Z jaké tabulky? Výsledky nebo Chronologický vývoj rekordu?

--Hrhr2 10. 5. 2009, 14:10 (UTC)

Samozřejmě tabulka Chronologický vývoj rekordu. Nic neříkající nadpis: jakého rekordu? Nic neříkající informace v tabulce: Kanada 1920-1985, co Kanada v těch letech dokázala, se taky nedozvím. Takže ta tabulka je informačně prázdná, tedy zbytečná. Navíc wikipedie je pro všechny, ne jen pro úzkou skupinu lidí a informace by se měly podávat tak, aby tomu porozuměl každý. --Niccolo 10. 5. 2009, 15:28 (UTC)

Čau, prosintě, co znamená to m ve tvojich shrnutích? Esli to má znamenat malú editacu, tak na to je knoflik nad Uložit změny (túto editacu sem tak označil pro ilustracu), Navíc věříš že každá editaca by měla nět shrnutí, a shrnutí je shrnutí změn (typo, překlep apod.) m neznamená nic to já jen tak k zamyšlení--El Barto ✍ 19. 8. 2010, 15:08 (UTC)

Mistrovství světa v ledním hokeji do 18 let

Dobrý den,
v článku Mistrovství světa v ledním hokeji do 18 let jsem našel kapitolu "Chronologický vývoj rekordu". Není jasné, o jaký rekord se jedná, chtělo by to uvést v úvodu kapitoly. Dle historie článku jste autorem této úpravy právě Vy. Díky --Jarba 13. 4. 2011, 08:28 (UTC)

MIlý pane kolego, vyjádřete se prosím k mému více než rok starému dotazu o odstavec výše i poslední námitce kolegy Niccola k tabulce v článku Mistrovství světa v ledním hokeji. Další pokec k tématu najdete na této stránce. Díky a zdravím, --Jarba (diskuse) 2. 5. 2012, 07:36 (UTC)

Vítání nováčků

Dobrý den, pane kolego, nechci Vás omezovat v činnosti :), ale někdy je lepší počkat s vítáním. I když nový uživatel čistě technicky provede několik editací, dost často jde pouze o článek o něm samém (nebo o jeho firmě, příjmení, projektu a podobně) a konání takového kolegy ve většině případů, bohužel, vede k článkům porušujícím různá pravidla, co se týče nezávislosti a ověřitelnosti informací. Jako příklad bych mohl uvést tohle (výsledek) nebo tohle (výsledek). Když se na to podíváte blíž, určitě lépe pochopíte, jakou obavu se snažím vyjádřit. Někdy je prostě vhodnější alespoň den-dva vyčkat a nevítat hned v prvních hodinách, protože to někdy dotyčného spíš povzbudí k dalšímu nebo rychlejšímu vkládání neencyklopedického nebo sporného obsahu. Jinak je vítání nováčků samozřejmě vítáno a děkuji Vám za něj. Sám vím, jak je těžké najít v té spoustě vandalských nebo jednorázových účtů kolegu, kterého stojí za to přivítáním povzbudit do další práce :(. P.S. Ještě bych Vás upozornil, že v případě IP adres nepoužíváme {{Vítejte}}, nýbrž {{Anon}}. Všechno dobré přeje --Mario7 (diskuse) 29. 7. 2013, 00:12 (UTC)

Děkuji za upozornění, chápu vaše obavy.--Hrhr2 (diskuse) 29. 7. 2013, 06:40 (UTC)

Dobrý den, vzhledem k vašim editacím stránek týkajících se stránek souvisejících s politikou si Vás dovoluji pozvat k připojení do WikiProjektu Politika. Jedná se o dlouhodobý WikiProjekt zaměrený na rozšiřování a aktualizaci článků týkajících se všemožných politických témat, který sdružuje wikipedisty, kteří se o dané články zajímají a snaží se do nich buď aktivně, nebo příležitostně přispívat.

jako aktivního editora Vás prosíme o pomoc při tvorbě strategického plánu spolku Wikimedia Česká republika do roku 2027. Pomozte nám rozhodnout, jakým směrem se mají programy pro editory v následujících třech letech ubírat. O vyplnění krátkého dotazníku Vás prosíme do 1. května 2024, obsahuje 7 otázek a zabere to asi 5 minut.

Vyplňte dotazník pro editory

V rámci probíhajících příprav strategického plánu spolku WMČR na léta 25–27 běží paralelně řada procesů. Různými formami postupně oslovujeme definované cílové skupiny. V rámci možností se snažíme o maximální stručnost a efektivitu, ptáme se vždy na to, co je pro danou skupinu primárně relevantní.

Více informací k procesu a průběhu přípravy SP najdete na pro tyto účely zřízené veřejné stránce. Na editorský dotazník navazuje termínově setkání se správci a patrolou – v gesci Pavla Bednaříka. V případě jakýchkoliv dotazů se mi můžete ozvat na diskusní stránce, nebo mailem na jan.beranekwikimedia.cz.

Děkujeme za zapojení,
