FR-Template

Hello,

I see that you removed the FR-template (as it had been discuted for a while). Could you be so kind as to tell where I should redirect all the well-intentioned people who add a {{context}} flag on articles (this flag is really hard for me, after countless hours of working)? Thank you —Reply to David Latapie 16:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Great work from you. On a side note, I personally consider the Wikipedia should be as templated as possible. From an engineering point of view, copy-pasting 100 articles instead of just changing one, central, template, file, looks to me as a stupid move (I did not say YOU are stupid ;-) ). I don't understand why the Wikipedia community do that. Have some ideas? Reply to David Latapie

Hi

I am submitting an article on HANS GRAF VON SPONECK for the military (German) listing. I have successfully prepared the doc for submission but now am 'stuck' to coninue. It requires me to 'remove' Wiki after I have finished and I dont know how to remove this template. Could you help by looking at the site and helping me. I also have a fine private photo of him. Thanks Godfrey von Sponneck --Von Sponneck 08:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. --Misza13 ^(Talk) 10:18, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you Michal for your prompt reply. By 'stuck' I actually mean I was not able to go forward any more. I had tried everything and did not find out how to remove Wiki. Thanks for your kind help and assistance. I would like to ask you later to help with photos. If you have time and use 'SKYPE' perhaps we can do it which we talk live. I would assume however that you dont have time.

Best regards, Godfrey

Replied again. --Misza13 ^(Talk) 19:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Invitation to the Forgotten Realms project

Hi,

We are working on a Forgotten Realms Project to map Toril (mostly Faerûn, at the present). Since you contributed quite a lot on a Forgotten Realms-specific entry, I'd like to invite you to join the project, so we could improve the “Mapping the Realms” project.

The goal is to create a sort of World Factbook for the Realms. This means:

• A consistent content
• Use of templates
• Entries should be limited to “sovereign places”: states and free cities, as well a moderately-inhabited place such as the Western Highlands.

On top of this, we also plan to cover Lost Empires, such as Pelvuria or Imaskar and, of course, Netheril

• The project is located here
• The Geographical index of Toril is a good start to get a visual of had been done, as well as the Halruaa entry.

Main contributors are presently

• David Latapie
• Poulsen

Feel free to take a look. We hope to see you soon mapping the Realms with us! Reply to David Latapie 12:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
