[edit] CdaMVvWgS

CdaMVvWgS is the short name for a german club called Club der am Montag Vormittag vom Wahnsinn getriebenen Schüler (in English: Club of pupils who are crazy on Monday afternoon)

On the homepage (click here) you can get a free membership and lots of information about geography. And: you can download Poisoned for free! So, why you don't have a look at it? Only problem: it's all written in variated german (swiss german, variation of Basel)


Hello there CdaMVvWgS, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page or how to format them visit our manual of style. Experiment at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

It might be a good idea to write a little bit more then just the definition of a term, as we already have quite a lot of these stubs. It did just finish to enlarge the articles of the districts of Nauru to a size which make them more worth to keep. If you write such short articles you should at least add the stub warning boilerplate. andy 22:42, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you left a message at Image talk:Raaflaub.jpg asking for it to be deleted. Please list it at Wikipedia:Images for deletion if you still want it deleted. Perhaps you should wait until you understand these deletion processes a bit more before applying for adminship? Angela. 21:57, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of Basle

At http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=basle you will find that the older English pronunciation which corresponds to the older spelling is [ba:l] rather than [ba:sl] (which is what you wrote) or [ba:zl] which is the more modern English rendering corresponding to the endonymic spelling. --Akkolon 09:59, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Nauru election

Thanks for your message. I got the figures for the last Nauru election from an American diplomat in Fiji who sent them to me. I don't know if I'll be able to contact him again. If you have any sources in Nauru please let me know. Adam 14:59, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I don't now recall his name or address, except that he was at the US Embassy in Fiji. Apparently they monitor elections in the Pacific. Adam 23:03, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I also know someone at the Australian National University who specialises in the Pacific and has sent me election statistics from Vanuatu in the past. I will ask him if he has any sources for Nauru. Adam 09:22, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Belgian man - Nauru knowledge?

Yes, I have any knowledge about this pretty country (not so many as you of course), but I am very interested in Nauru, Kiribati, Palau, Tuvalu, , Italy, Belgium and Moldova. Belgian man 18:45, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

PS: Maybe have you seen my contributions at the German wiki (for link: go to my page), but I am not sure they are good ==> I speak German very bad...

Re Nauru elections, thanks very much, the results will be at my website soon. If you tell me your name I will of course credit you for supplying them to me. Adam 23:37, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Baseldytsch Wikipedia

Answer to first dot: No. Best proposal should be bds.wikipedia.org. Reasons you will get there. Answer to second dot: My proposal is to language of Basel-Town (the language of Basel-Land is not as especially as the Baseldytsch to have any reasons for a own wikipedia, as the Baseldytsch does...) -- CdaMVvWgS 23:00, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The problem with Nauruan

The problem with the Nauruan wikipedia and wiktionary is, that MANY people have the feeling that it is not Nauruan but something else. One thing that is telling is that for the Nauruan word for Nauruan "Nauruose" only can be found on wikipedia.

The fact that you are from Switserland, does also not provide us with confidence that these sites have not been squatted. So plain and simple there is a need of some objective proof that the information on the na: wiktipedia and wiktionary IS in the Nauruan language.

Thanks, GerardM 18:43, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Maybe you should check Google.com and search for "nauruan dictionary", there you'll find a link to trussel.com which contains a big nauruan-english-german dictionary. Then you should have the proof for the correctness of the nauruan wikipedia/wiktionary contents. Greets -- CdaMVvWgS 22:56, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello, CdaMVvWgS. You have today asked a question on my User Talk Page. I did do half a dozen small anonymous edits in the Nauru WP (though some of my "edit summaries" hinted that it was me), using words that were already there (not trying to check them in any way). Then I decided to simplify things by signing up properly. I think everything I've done since then has had my name on it (and I know I've used no Maori words). I remember noting (after a dig through some page histories) that someone was abusively (and unconstructively) criticising the alleged use of non-Nauruan words. So I checked some of those "trussel" pages and created links to them, to make it easier for you and me and anyone else to do a quick check if in doubt. The "trussell" looks to me to be more reliable than the recent contributor who complains that everything is wrong but does not bother to fix any or to tell the rest of us what is wrong. We shall see if anyone responds to my request that the mistakes (if any) be fixed up. I've repeated, on na:User_talk:Belgian_man, what we all seem to agree about. Kind regards. (I don't remember seeing the Nauruan Wiktionary.) Robin Patterson 05:57, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 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 2000 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:

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| talk)


[edit] Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

  • Image:Decagon.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)]] 04:38, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

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

[edit] Bob Marley

Great photo. --SqueakBox 17:23, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your kindness! As a Swiss, I'm very proud to have in the Wikipedia a live photo with Bob Marley from his only concert he ever performed in Switzerland. Greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 20:01, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Translation from Norwegian

If it's not too long, I'd be happy to help you with the translation; and newspaper articles are rarely very long, so I'm sure it'll be fine. Leave me a message at my discussion page with a link to the article, or use «E-mail this user» if you have to send the article to me. Cnyborg 16:38, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Raaflaub-small.jpg and fr:Image:Raaflaub-small.jpg

Hello, could you tell who is the photographer, and when he gave his agreement to release it under GFDL ? Without such precisions, I'm afraid we'll have to delete this picture. --Teofilo talk 09:27, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Afternoon?

Hi, you write that CdaMVvWgS translates to "Club of pupils who are crazy on Monday afternoon", but Vormittag is really morning, isn't it? Or is this mistranslation just the result of your Wahnsinn? --128.139.226.37 19:45, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The club used to be called "...on Monday afternoon" but is now called "...on Monday morning", you're right. I'll correct it if I don't forget to do so... Thanks and greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 19:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nauru images

Hi, I was hoping that you would be able to add some information on why the images you have on photobucket and that have subequently have been uploaded to the commons are PD. Are they yours or did you get permission to use them from someone? Thanks--nixie 05:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, all images in the Nauru section have permission to be used as PD. I got the permission a while ago by some kind users of www.nr (which unfortunately doesn't exist anymore). Greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 18:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nauru

I am glad to have helped your fine articles. Let me know if there's anything else that needs attention. GilliamJF 15:30, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Alright. Greetings! -- CdaMVvWgS 15:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tennis walkover article

Hi! I'm not really familiar with the rules and formalities of tennis, but isn't "walkover" applied to a match which didn't even start. That is, when a player forfeits/withdraws even before he/she enters the court. For example, the case of Kutuzova against Clijsters in 2006 Wimbledon. In such a case, since the match didn't even start, then it is not counted as a loss for the player who withdrew, and a win for the other player. On the other hand, the one cited in the article is related more on retirement. That is, when the match has already started and a player cannot continue. It is not really addressed as a walkover, but a retirement. For example, when Henin-Hardenne retired in the Australian Open final. In such a case, since the match started, any win-loss record or head-to-head count is affected. What I'm asking is whether there is a conflict in the title of the article versus the definition found in it. --Joey80 07:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

To my knowledge it is also called "walkover" when a player cannot continue during the match. I've read this form many times in newspapers, for example "6:4, 2:6, 3:1 w.o.", when a player is ahead in the third set, but cannot continue due to injuries or whatever, as you said above. Likely it's also called "walkover" when a player withdraws before the match begins, but I don't know it that exactly... Greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 18:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
