I note that you have added a whole lot of new links to Distributed power (and the danish Distribueret_elproduktion that are more appropriately Renewable energy. I have just expanded the basic article. Can you please review all those links as I do not think a lot of them are really appropriate to this topic but should be on some other more appropriate page. Would you also like to translate the english to danish? ---- kiwiinapanic 10:28 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Your article on Distributed power would be more accurately titled Distributed generation. It is an article which fits well into the series of articles on electricity, electricity market, electric power transmission, electricity generation, and electricity distribution, which I have been working on. Distributed power is more about the distribution of power whereas "distributed generation" is a topical subject associated with how local generation can contribute to how future electricity needs can be met. I agree with kiwiinapanic that there are too many unrelated links. I would be happy to cooperate with you on the article, if you wish. Tiles 05:46 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hello, Glenn. I removed the links to news articles from Archaeology because the article could very quickly get too long if we carried on including them. It would be different if you could guarantee to update that section at regular intervals. See Talk:Archaeology for a fuller explanation. Deb 14:01, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi Glenn, I've removed links from the scientific name of eg Whooper Swan because it's a self link back to the article. It's better just to create the redirect from Cygnus cygnus, which is already the case for, eg American style lower case versions like Whooper swan.

You can create the redirect article from the browser navigation bar, without having a real link.

Hi, I've moved Ringnecked Pheasant to Common Pheasant, and redirected all the numerous links to that. I hope this makes sense, if not we had better discuss it before we get into an edit war (although I'll be out most of today). You seem to have Green Pheasant as a subspecies, my book gives it as a species, but I've no strong views on that.jimfbleak 05:38, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Glenn, in case nobody else has shown their appreciation, I'd like to thank you for all your work cross-referencing with the Danish wikipedia. Josh

Hello. Stop making Kielesguhr link to itself as I've said before. I can understand making the mistake once, but to insist on it even after corrected I do not understand. Morwen 10:44, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)

Hi - please don't make self-links - that is articles that link to a redirect to the same page. It is a waste of time for someone clicking on them. People keep removing them but you keep readding them! Secretlondon 10:46, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)

Sorry I forgot. But it is convinient to check if all references are present and point to the right article. Glenn 11:19, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello! I have a request, assuming that you speak dannish... (Actually my father grew up in Copenhagen) Can you translate the Pachypodium lamerei of the danish wiki to the english? We have some Pachypodiums but not that one. Cheers! Muriel Victoria 16:09, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hello Muriel
Your assumption is correct - I am a dane - and from Copenhagen.
I have translated the article about Pachypodium lamerei. I have got Madagascar Palms two times, but this is now a long time ago. regards, Glenn 11:42, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I have added the correct photo to Night-blooming cereus (Selenicereus grandiflorus). Thank you for moving the other image to the right article. Perl 15:38, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Hello Glenn

I assume since you are Danish that you are not Glenn, but I thought you might be interested in knowing there is an article with that name. 66.245.208.69 22:36, 24 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 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:

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) 18:08, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Multi-licensed with the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License versions 1.0 and 2.0
I agree to multi-license my text contributions, unless otherwise stated, under the GFDL and the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license version 1.0 and version 2.0. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use my contributions under the Creative Commons terms, please check the CC dual-license and Multi-licensing guides.

[edit] Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

  • Image:Large_hailstone.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, {{PD-self}} if you wish to release your own work to the public domain, {{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. Peter O. (Talk, automation script) 21:25, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

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

Hi Poccil

I am pretty certain that I have not uploaded this picture to the english Wikipedia. But - I think I did found the site where the picture comes from. I found it, when I used the picture on the danish Wiki. I have put the site on the page and it contains copyrigt information. My username is there because I made a link to the danish wiki uploaded picture!

It is the automated conversionscripts fault that the original user, that uploaded it, can not be found.

[edit] Interwiki link to en:

Hi,
At comparator, you added interwiki links to da:, de:, and sv:, and also one to en: enclosed in an HTML comment tag. What is the purpose of this link (or rather, non-link)? --Smack (talk) 01:03, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi Smack. The purpose is to ease en-link on non-en-wiki articles. Glenn 19:24, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

First, is that really necessary? They can just copy and paste the page title. Second, is it really clear? They might (misunderstanding the comment tag) think that it's some arcane sort of link to another page. Third, will it confuse our own contributors? Tally up one already. --Smack (talk) 19:53, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 00:31, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WikiCommons

Hi, when you move images from en: to WikiCommons (such as Image:PencilSharpenerBatteryOp.jpg, don't forget to include important information such as the name of the photographer and the image history. The copyright owner has a right to be credited according to GFDL. Also, images with incomplete information may be deleted from WikiCommons. Regards, Thuresson 12:16, August 3, 2005 (CEST)

Hi, I will remember now. --Glenn 09:03, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page name for temperature articles

To avoid flip-flopping between 'degree Fahrenheit' and 'Fahrenheit' or 'degree Celsius' and 'Celsius', I propose that we have a discussion on which we want. I see you have contributed on units of measurement, please express your opinion at Talk:Units of measurement. Thanks. bobblewik 22:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please check your WP:NA entry

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:

  1. If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
  2. If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
  3. Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BD2412 T 05:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of Content

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from an article. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kaspazes talk 12:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kaspazes. If you mean [1], then it was on purpose, because the Scandianavian countries is a proper subset of The Nordic Countries, and not the other way around. Even in Denmark it happens that people make that mistake. --Glenn 12:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
