[edit] Question

grüezi Fantasy, how are you? I found something which could finally solve the problem with the constant harassment and the tiring issue of renaming Trentino-South Tyrol. Take a look at this page here Talk:Río de la Plata, it has an interesting template at the top stating that discussion about the issue is over. Should we add that to the talk archive and put an end to debate? we had two polls already. with kind regards Gryffindor 16:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Gryffindor,
Good Idea, I would agree to put it on the top of the page, so my discussion-part can also be put in the archive. Looks better then my contribution.
In the meantime I protected the page from IP-Edits since some poeple vandalised the discussion. You can unprotect it again if you think it is ok.
Thanks for this good Idea, Would be great if you could do it, From my side it will take some weeks until I have time. Thanks ;-) Fantasy 10:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
It's done, no problem. Have a nice weekend :-) Gryffindor 13:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Looks great, thanks for your help. To you also a nice weekend, Nice to have you as admin on en, I sleep better now ;-) Fantasy 15:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit at Talk:Bozen-Bolzano

Sorry, I reverted your edit as it was archive burning. If you believe that the discussion is on the wrong place, please move it to the appropriate new location and state such move on the talk page of Bozen-Bolzano. Thank you. Regards. --Húsönd 17:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but that does not work, you can not move a move-request. You have to reformulate, and that hast to be done by the requester! Fantasy 17:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Indeed, but it wasn't me who proposed the move. The proposer is Markussep according to Wikipedia:Requested moves. Regards.--Húsönd 17:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured picture delisting

I've nominated a Featured Picture you uploaded, Image:London Eye panorama.jpg, for delisting. Please see Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Image:London Eye panorama.jpg delist for the discussion. Regards, howcheng {chat} 20:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I did not even know that is was featured. It clearly is not one of my best fotos, no problem with delisting ;-) Fantasy 17:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Trentino-South Tyrol

Your views regarding Sudtirol are a wee-bit extreme there son.

Dear anonymous
You are right, my are a wee-bit extreme, because I try not to go in so an extreme extreme directions as some german-haters are going. Therefore I try myself to calm down and not go to the same aggressive level. But sometimes I fail. Some arguments from some anonym people are so unbeleavble ignorant, that it is hard to calm down.
Sorry, if I went to the same level as the agressive contributors... Fantasy 09:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I love italy

One more general comment:

I have many italian friends.
I love italy, the language, the country, the people.
I am italian.
The only thing that is hard for me to bear is when people try to rewrite/ignore/offend history.
I am not against italian things, I am just of the opinion that in the multilingual region of South Tyrol all 4 languages should be treated with respect, and not just italian should be used over all other langauge - that probably being the hard part for some italians to accept. Equal treatment of the languages.
If I step over my maxime of "equal treatment" pelase tell me, it can happen in the heat of discussion, please forgive me my faults.
Thanks :-) Fantasy 10:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Dear Fantasy, I've read many of the discussions on this region, and to me it is quite disturbing. I have century-long roots in this region, as I'm assuming you do to. The -region- should be listed as Trentino-Alto Adige/Sudtirol. The provinces are Bolzano-Bozen (BZ) and Trento (TN). It is disturbing when I read how Gryffindor has quietly transformed many things. This region of Italy is one of the most fantastic, and it is deeply sadening to me to see someone such as him manipulating things to his own World view. Naming the region Trentino-South Tyrol is clearly biased to a German viewpoint. Renaming the Province of Bolzano-Bozen to the Province of South Tyrol is even more. Finally renaming Bolzano-Bozen to Bozen-Bolzano? I like both names of the city, and which is first is a game for children. But, the official name is Bolzano-Bozen, so what is the problem? I will like to have a good discussion with you about this, because the user Gryffindor seems highly biased, gets things by a sneaky way, and gives me the creeps. This is not making a personal attack, but the methods he has used concerning a region I love, is just too much. Also, hope all is well with your construction, even though it looks as if you have blown up your home. :P Taalo 20:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear Taalo, sorry for my late reply, I was "working" ;-). I will reply on my german discussion-page. See you :-) Fantasy 18:45, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sepp Kerschbaumer

I noticed you said on Lar's talk page that he was your grandfather and I thought I would tell you I have tried to improve Sepp Kerschbaumer. Be interested in any feedback, especially criticism. --Guinnog 09:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Guinnog, thank you very much for your work! It looks ok to me, but I try to avoid to edit or comment about my granfather, because I don't have a NPOV. You know, it's difficult to really understand what was going on at that time, I just hear stories. Some say, this was very important, some say it had no effect, in the end only history can tell, or probably not even that.
But many thanks for your effort nevertheless! :-) Fantasy 13:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

One thing for sure, he definitely has the face of someone from our home. You know what the effect he has? The one we should all remember: You don't let people push -- and people should not push others. This is the core problem of this Earth afterall. Taalo 04:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I made some cleanup of the page, gives a good chance to understand the history. The German page is quite detailed though and eventually bringing images from there would be great. So the home village is Frangart? Then the Italian word Frangarto? My family is from the Val di Non. Your village is just 35 km away down the Mendola! :-) Very interesting to know this history of your grandfather Fantasy. I'm more of a follower of the ideas of Ghandi myself -- but I can accept "violence" against electricity pylons. :-) Anyway, most importantly is everyone in Bolzano-Bozen should now be free to do as they please -- Italians, Germans, etc. Taalo 04:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to my granfather's article!
Regarding the home village, my granfather's was Frangart-Frangarto, by I come from a different one, a little bit more distant from Val di Non, but still in reach of a possible meeting one day ;-) Fantasy 04:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trentino-Alto Adige/Suedtirol

Hey Fantasy, do you mind if we discuss here on the EN Wikipedia? I saw your message to Lars. I left a message as well -- you can read it when you have the time. Like I have said before, I also agree using double names. I really hope this option can be taken seriously. I would like to also understand better the history in Bolzano-Bozen of what cities have invented names. These names I really wish would of been immediately removed after the fall of the dictatorships. -sigh- One thing to keep in mind though is that even what the Fascists did this in the early 20th century -- this is not the first time this has happened. Likewise "Italians" suffered under "Germans", etc. My point? We should never let these things pushed by politicians make us angry forever. What has happened in these centuries of human existance, we must simply not allow to happen again -- especially in our region. We are all brothers and sisters here, the languages we have come to speak -- for whatever reason -- is the smallest difference afterall. Anyway, really interested to talk more later. regards. Taalo 03:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I need to figure out how I can exchange e-mails with people on here. Yourself and a few other people I have met on here in my three weeks of Wikipedia, I would really like to be able to exchange e-mails. Taalo 03:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Just click on "E-mail this user" on the left. But keep in mind: Sometimes email don't reach the destination either for server-problems or Spam-filter. If you don't get a reply, ask the one you contacted via email on his Wiki-page if he got the email. Fantasy 04:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] German Talk Page

You wrote, Time is something that helps a lot. Sometimes you just need to sit back and wait, and you realise, that it was not so important after all. I am feeling very much better now, whatever the result of all this is. I have to say that I really don't like the double naming, but it would have been a shame not to try to go for it. Most people probably prefer a simple solution, and simple solutions are not always right, but you can not change mankind. Simplicity has advantages. Re the Fotos: I would be very happy if you would use them, I uploaded them to be used and to make people happy. Re my construction work, the next fotos probably will come in December ;-) If you come one day to South Tyrol, let me know! See you :-) Fantasy 容 22:36, 14. Okt. 2006 (CEST)

Yes, lets try to at least make it clear it should be an option. It is not so complex to include both names afterall! Regardless, every page must have all the different languages included. This is without question. Thank you with regard to the photos, I will for sure use them as computer wallpaper (I change it every week almost at work! :-) Hey, whenever I make it to visit Italy, I always find a time to go down and visit Bolzano-Bozen. :)) my regards. Taalo 04:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
I look forward to your next visit then, let me know in advance so that I will be there! See you :-) Fantasy 04:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
