Hi! Thanks for reverting the article to previous edits. That page has been vandalised many times. I am trying to resolve all issues with that article. Yogi ^(talk) 05:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, sorry about that. I unprotected now. Thanks, Ronline ✉ 08:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, may I ask why you have reverted my recent edit of Erika Steinbach article ? Do you believe that Rumia belonged to Germany before Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939 ? --Wojsyl ^(talk) 00:58, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I think you're getting over it. Would you be using "Warschau" name for similar reason ? Rumia was a suburb of Gdynia in 1939. It certainly did not "share common history" with Danzig, and using German name might suggest to an unaware reader that Erika Steinbach was born in a German town, which is very misleading in this context. --Wojsyl ^(talk) 01:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Come on, Gdynia barely existed before 1920.

As for Wikipedia:Naming conventions/Geographic names you are right, but proposal is wider than just article naming as it defines the usage within the body of the article as well. Any idea on how to neatly summarize it in a short sentence ? --Wojsyl ^(talk) 01:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for accepting my last edit of Erika Steinbach and for undestanding why I did this. I know it is difficult, but I tried to compromise on having the German name mentioned and at the same time no implication that it belonged to Germany at that time. It is important given the 1939 history of the place. --Wojsyl ^(talk) 01:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't list misspellings in an article unless if they're absolutely notable. Imagine if we had "George W. Bush (often misspelled Goerge)"... Ashibaka tock 03:07, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

An edit of an image you uploaded, Image:Airplane vortex edit.jpg, has just been promoted as a Featured Picture. Congratulations, and thank you for uploading it. Raven4x4x 08:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I recall that you were one of the architects of the Gdansk vote. Please comment on the interpretation of the vote expounded by Space Cadet on Talk:Simon Dach. Thanks for your time, Ghirla | talk 14:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

In may 2004 you added a picture to this article. Are you sure it shows scotch bonnet peppers? If i had to guess, i'd say it shows habaneros (compare Image:Habanero.jpg. The fruits are not as round as scotch bonnets used to be. I know, the edit is quite old, but perhaps you can check it. Would be nice. --Zinnmann 19:43, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for fixing German nobility. -- Jeandré, 2006-02-04t19:40z

This has just been started by Calgacus and needs a lot of expansion/fleshing out/help/comment. I would like to invite you to participate if you are interested. There is a lot of work to do on Germany-related articles, and some collaboration and cooperation would be a good thing. However, I am slightly worried that the board might be used to rally support in revert wars, and would appreciate suggestions about how to avoid that. Viele Grüße, Kusma (討論) 05:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems we're heading in the right direction now. The board has also moved to Wikipedia:German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. Kusma (討論) 23:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Chris,

You created the Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial so can you help me with an issue. On the WP english page for Jiří Paroubek I want to use the image from his Czech WP page. Is there a syntax for linking to the Czech WP image, or do I need to upload the image to the english WP first? - Rye1967 22:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi. There is no way to link directly to an image on the Czech Wikipedia. However, this problem is addressed through the Wikimedia Commons. Images uploaded there can be linked to like a normal image from any Wikipedia/Wikimedia project. This gives an easy access of a lot of images for all projects. The only thing to pay attention to is: Only free images are allowed, the copyright must include permission for derivatives and commercial work. Fair use images are not allowed. Since the Image:Jirí Paroubek z MZV.jpg is free, i added it to the commons and linked it on the article. While doing that i also found a pronounciation sound file on the commons, which I also linked. Hope this helps. Happy editing -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have been in discussion with Br Alexis Bugnolo and he feels the edit war he was in was reverting vandalism. He has only been on Wikipedia for about a week and I believe that this edit war was in good faith. I told him that the edits that the other party made were not vandalism, even if misguided, as the Vandalism policy goes. I got pulled into this because I was on RC Patrol, and I reverted a blanking once. Then I realized that I may have made a mistake, so I reverted myself. My recommendation is that you unblock, at least Br Alexis Bugnolo because he is a newbie. Thanks for your attention.--Adam ^(talk) 19:54, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I can almost certantly fix the frame to frame motion and lighting differences if you'd be willing to provide me with the orignal photos. You can see an example of this sort of correction in Image:A_wasp_eating_a_fly_DSCN2740_stable.ogg. If you're interested drop me an email at gmaxwell at gmail.com. --Gmaxwell 04:18, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Chris!
It's been a while, but here's another batch. Thanks! --Fir0002 05:57, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
