Current stuff

Add it here. :-)

Germans

I've for long (a year, actually) been itched by the way Wikipedia-links are done with often sloppy distinctions between nationality, citizenship and ethnicity (with regard to persons) and also between nations and countries. This is particularly obvious in the case of people or entities that are denoted as German. A link to the Federal Republic of Germany is often outright unhistorical and wrong, but this has until now been the most usual.

Therefore I'm considering an article on Germans, which I've started at User:Ruhrjung/Germans. I would wish to avoid lots of edit wars. In particular, I would not wish to see the current disputes over German-Polish matters automatically extend also to this article, why I kindly ask you for comments now, in advance, in order to try to find wordings acceptable to as many as possible of concerned wikipedians.

I look forward to your comments at User talk:Ruhrjung/Germans.

Walbaum-Fraktur

Howdy. With regards to your provided image (fig. 1) on the Fraktur page, you say that you provided the image yourself. I noticed that similar fonts from font companies look fairly different. Can you provide an image of the numbers from the Walbaum-Fraktur set? Danke in advance! -john

Done. I have updated the three sample screenshots on Fraktur. Hope that helps. djmutex 17:41, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the Fraktur examples. I am not an expert, but I think that the "s" in the word "Werbedeutsch" is not correct, it should be a long s. -- Aleph4 20:26, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

I have a longtime amateur interest in history of modern Germany, and want to thank you for your major contributions to Wikipedia, which I have only now discovered.CoppBob 04:09, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I feel honored that somebody is still recognizing that work even though I have been away for most of the last 12 months. Thanks for the kind words. djmutex 17:45, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Die Welt

I see you have Die Welt on your work list - I have just found there was no article on it in the English wikipedia, so I have added one by quick translation from the body of the German version. I may have made some errors, and it is fairly skeletal - if you'd like to improve it that would be welcome. seglea 23:54, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new)| talk)

Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following images:

• Image:Inflation-1923-small.jpg
• Image:Inflation-1923.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 21:44, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Soviet flag over Reichstag

Hi there, Djmutex! I've just read the article on the Reichstag and noticed that you wrote the passage on the red flag saying it was staged and stuff. I checked with modern Russian sources and they say that the daytime attack on the Reichstag began on April 30, 1945. Indeed, a couple of them say that the attack was unsuccessful, however, most of them say that it did happen and soldiers V.Provotorov and G.Bulatov attached the flag to the pediment at 2:25 pm on April 30. Bulatov's awarding ceremony has been documented (order No.0121/н from June 8, 1945). The sources then say that soldiers M.A.Yegorov and M.V.Kantariya placed the flag on the cupola of the Reichstag at 9:50 pm on April 30 (looks like a few hours later). Some sources say that by early morning of May 1, the flag had already been there. I just wanted to know your opinion on all of this. KNewman 16:28, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

List of Frankish Kings

Hi, at List of Frankish Kings I made some structural changes, also see my revisions (and creation) at Template:Carolingians and Template:Merovingians and Template:Kings of the Western Franks (awkward name but it works). I was having some trouble with the format but I think on balance the changes are good. I'd welcome your input. Kaisershatner 13:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
