[edit] Thanks for the barnstar

Hi Angelbo. Thanks for the barnstar, it is appreciated. I don't remember proofreading that many articles, but I am guilty of a very large number of minor edits. Regards. --Valentinian 19:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, what he said! Thanks for the barnstar for me too, it's strongly appreciated. I don't feel worthy! GRuban 18:59, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I, too, thank you for the Barnstar. It feels nice to be recognized for my contributions. I have no plans to stop patrolling and improving the pages on my watchlist. Thanks again. The Bearded One 05:10, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] disanbig

I?m back from holidays, so I hadn't really had time to reply about your problem. I'm a bit confused about what you need (what do you mean that your edits are not working?) -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 21:15, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: disambig

Thanks for redirecting Ministry to Minsitry. I've got a few more in there that I've been meaning to clear up... --Progkeeg 05:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oops... posted this in your sandbox talk page

Hi,

I saw on your page a link to Danish beer and a bunch of incomprehensible squiggles (which I took to be Danish). Would you care to expand the article on Danish beer? I'm curious to learn more about its character and history in general, and about more specific brewers than just Carlsberg. It's not something I know much about, so I thought I'd ask if you're interested; I'd definitely like to read more on it!

All the best --Daniel11 02:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] P.S.

I was interested to see you're a "liberal" and an economist!

Also, maybe you can also suggest some worthwhile publicly traded Danish companies... ;) --Daniel11 02:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair-use image removed from your user page

Hello, Angelbo. I've removed Image:Dk-v-logo.png from your user page, as it is a copyrighted image that is being used under a claim of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no fair-use images can be used on user pages; please see Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images. This image has not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 02:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you so much for the barnstar! It really made me happy :) Inge 18:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] B&H Photo Video

There are no tags related specifically to an article that reads as an ad so I would use something like {{db|This article reads as an advertisement.}} You can actually put anything you want after the "db|". You might also wish to make a note on the creator's talk page and give them the chance to rewrite the article.24fan24 01:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually articles that read as an advertisement do not qualify for speedy deletion. You may want to consider a prod tag or NPOV tag 24fan24 01:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with a user

Hi there. I have a problem with a user called Deathrocker. This user was recently banned for removing sourced information from articles, and for making personal attacks at people who do not have accounts. This user is also on revert parole from an arbirrition case that led to him being banned for three months. This user is using a serious of ip adresses to revert any user, anmynous or registered that change anything on articles he deems as 'his' claiming it as vandalism or restricted user changes [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. He also just used an ip to delete your post from my talk page and instead leave a personal attack [8].

I ask if you can check these ips against his. I also ask if this user can be banned from these articles, as he has grown into a habit of calling admin abuse when he is banned, and removing large sections of text written by others on article discussion pages, claiming they are banned users. He has even done this to an admin, claiming admin abuse when the admin reverted him. This is on top of the persistant violations of his parole regarding personal attacks and using sockpuppets to perform massive reverts, which he openly admits to being his by signing them as himself [9].

Please help the community with this user who refuses to follow policy or respect that he does not own Wikipedia, and that articles are not just his, they are to reflect the opinions and points of all people, and that he cannot refuse to let others edit articles because he said so.

Here is his user contributions to show what i mean [10]. He also states here on his userpage he is a sockcatcher, even though he was banned for making this account and posting this personal attack against another user. [11].

Of note also is while i was writing this, he used two more ips again to blank your comment and my user page leaving a personal attack, signing it as himself [12], [13].

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.143.124.233 (talk • contribs).

The user who left that message looks a lot like User:Leyasu to me. I have blocked that IP for a week; Leyasu is a banned user (see the list) and should not be editing here under any username or IP. As a banned user, his edits can be reverted by anyone without penalty. If Deathrocker is violating the rulings in his arbcom case or otherwise causing trouble, you may report him at WP:AE. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 17:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leyasu and Deathrocker...

These were two editors that I was in arbitration cases with earlier this year (Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Leyasu and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Deathrocker). The arbitration committee placed limits on how often those editors can revert edits without being blocked. Leyasu violated the restrictions so often that he ended up being blocked indefinitely by another admin who wasn't previously involved in the dispute. That admin (Circeus) posted on WP:AN/I about that, and I and several others endorsed Leyasu's indefinite block. Earlier this month, Circeus added Leyasu to the list of banned users, and no one has reverted that.

Deathrocker has been blocked a few times since the cases too, but he hasn't been blocked indefinitely. Leyasu claimed that Deathrocker is currently under a three-month ban, but that isn't true. Deathrocker has never been blocked for more than 1 month. [14] I think Deathrocker is using IPs so that he won't be caught violating his revert parole, although he actually isn't violating it if he is reverting banned users.

There is a discussion at WP:AE right now about what has been happening in their dispute and how to enforce it.

--Idont Havaname (Talk) 18:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I think it was Deathrocker who changed your comment. His comment was right, but he was wrong to remove yours. It's pretty easy to figure out which one's which (Deathrocker or Leyasu) based on their typical editing patterns and IPs; they are in different countries, so their IPs would be substantially different. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 18:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Willy on Wheels article

Dear Gurch

I noticed in the deletion log [[15] ]that you deleted this article Long term abuse/Willy on Wheels and the shortcut WP:WoW, in your summary you state that i was simply a redirect, before that I seem to remember that it was an article about the vandal containg his modus operandi and known IPs. I looked like somthin like this WP:LTA/MG, it seems that there is someone deleting/changing/vandalizing subpages of the Wikipedia:Long term abuse page. Currently I seem not to be able to locate theese subpages beaides the WoW

• Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Johnny the Vandal
• Wikipedia:Long term abuse/CapnCrack
• Wikipedia:Long term abuse/The Airport Vandal

So since you did the deletion of the WoW page are you aware of them being moved to somwhere else? or is there a policy behind theese deletions? or is some form of vandalism?

kind regards Angelbo 16:56, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I think page naming has led to some confusion, sorry about that.

The only page that I did delete was Long term abuse/Willy on Wheels, which was only a redirect. Note the absence of a "Wikipedia:" prefix on this page name; I deleted this because the absence of a prefix puts the redirect in the article namespace, and the WoW abuse page is not article material. This is simply one of many "cross-namespace" redirects that have been deleted recently. In short, I did not delete "Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Willy on Wheels", only a redirect to it.

The target of the redirect is the page I think you were looking for – the WoW abuse page itself, Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Willy on Wheels. (Note the "Wikipedia:" prefix this time). Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Willy on Wheels was later deleted, however, by Xoloz, following a consensus to do so on MfD. You may review the discussion that led to the page's deletion here.

The other pages you mentioned were deleted by Cyde and others following the conclusion of the MfD discussion. I assume their reasoning is the same as whoever nominated the WoW abuse page; I have played no part in the discussion, so I'm unsure as to the exact reasons. The WP:WoW redirect was deleted not by me but by Kusma. Since its target page no longer existed at that point it was eligible for speedy deletion (see CSD R1, "redirects to non-existent pages").

Hope this clears things up – Gurch 19:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image request

Hej Thue

I would like to request a picture of the Nusrat Djahan Moskeen [[16]] and if you would be so kind as to add it to the article Islam in Denmark. --Angelbo 09:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

God ide - det kan jeg godt klare en af de nærmeste dage :). Thue | talk 19:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Barnstar

Thanks for that! I've spent the last couple of weeks writing a small program to help with vandal fighting (basically it reads through Recent Changes, picks out suspicious edits, and presents them to you one at a time), and yesterday I decided to try it out. From the response I've recieved, I guess it's pretty effective. Still needs improvement, though. Nice to see my efforts are appreciated – Gurch 11:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Language Stersken

First, sorry for such a late reply. I have been away for quite some time (:

Hm.. very interesting (: No, I didn't know that it meant that! It's very cool to find that out now though. I had mostly created it randomly, trying to make it sound like something from a North Germanic language. I initially had created the name before I went further into making my conlang, and before I had studied much Danish/Swedish/Norwegian.

So then, on to Stersken: Very sadly I have lost all my documentation (grammars, vocabulary, written texts) when my harddrive crashed recently. I can't afford at this time to get the data recovered therein. But I can tell you what I do remember from my head: it was indeed a mix or the North Germanic languages, with some English and German thrown in; the word order was most close to Danish and English; like German it showed four grammatical cases; as well, the definite article was suffixed to the noun.

So, one can see the traditional Germanic Dative -m and Genitive -s suffixes. Also, a sort of joke by me was to split en/ett into Nominative and Accusative, respectively, as one can see in the table. There were no noun genders in my conlang. em/söm is just some fun irregularity that every language should have (:

I unfortunately only remember the pronouns and their declensions for I, thou, and it

The possessives were 'min', 'din' and 'dens' for 'isk', 'du' and 'den', respectively. Something that I have always wondered about is why there is a difference between the first person singular pronoun of North Germanic and other Germanic languages. I think it might have something to do with the orthographic 'g', which is sometimes pronounced as a voiceless velar plosive, or [k], which in extension often trades places with voiceless palatal fricative or voiceless velar fricative (German ich- and ach-Laute). Old Norse shows 'ek' for first person singular, but modern Icelandic shows 'ég'. I'm only an 'armchair linguist' (simply linguistics as a hobby, no formal study), though (:

I have one treasure you might enjoy. It's a story I wrote in Stersken about a pirate named Morsom Drepper. It is, as far as I know, the only surviving text I wrote:

An Moendagsoem var isk en Pyrat

The story is quite silly (:

In Stersken, as you may have noticed, the words show both influences from the High German consonant shift and lack thereof. Some set phrases used in that text, that may not be clear: 'ladt' is the simple past form of 'läta' and 'den läta' is like German 'es gibt', literally "it lets .."; 'äje' - Ja! (but the pirate way); indefinite articles are used as relative pronouns.

I can give you a translation, but I'd like to see your attempt to translate, first (:

Well, that's enough for now I suppose, as much as I can remember at the moment at least. If you have any more questions, just ask me.
