[edit] Feiten over Brussel

Hoi Markussep, ik heb de feiten die je over Brussel had toegevoegd vervangen door de cijfers uit de eerder door mij aangehaalde studie van de VUB. De verhouding 85% Frans-15% Nederlands die op de Franse Wikipedia vermeld wordt en door een anonieme gebruiker op de Duitse Wikipedia is toegevoegd, is volgens mij enkel gebaseerd op de verkiezingsuitslagen van Franstalige en Nederlandstalige partijen in Brussel. De lijst met voornamen vond ik eerlijk gezegd nogal ver gezocht: heel wat jongensnamen zijn islamitisch en veel namen kunnen zowel Nederlands als Frans zijn. Neem de lijst met meisjesnamen: Clara, Emma, Laura, Sara, Elisa e.a. uit de top-20 kun je toch moeilijk Frans noemen, die komen ook in Nederland veel voor.

Overigens, hoe lang loopt de peiling nu eigenlijk nog? En heb je al een idee wat er daarna moet gebeuren? Groeten, Diemietrie 14:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Town GR

Hi, could you take a look at the display problem of the Infobox template on Loutrochori, Pella (this revision), and check if the non-display of the locator map might be related to your recent edits to the infobox code? Thanks, Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:04, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, thanks, I was just going to say I figured it out. But by the way, are you certain we really want the functionality you introduced? If somebody provided a correct map image but failed to provide coordinates, why should the template not show the correct map? Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I understood only now that your version of the template actually creates the maps on the fly instead of using a stored one. Nifty. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, come to think of it, probably you are quite right and it's a good idea. The coordinates aren't too difficult to find after all, and it's probably easier than creating and uploading a separate map for each village. Thanks again, Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brussels-Capital Region

Hi Markussep, I am independently doing the same work as you just started, and so far got results very similar to yours, making me feel good about process reproducibility. My search is a bit less restrictive, allowing names in addresses (as long as they are not street names, or appearing together with Brussel or Bruxelles) and taking somewhat larger samples. The only difference so far is a much closer call for Berchem-Ste-Agathe/St-Agatha-Berchem. I have now complete results for the first 9 municipalities. Would you mind if I added my results as a second line for each municipality in your table? LVan 15:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the REAL name: Trentino-Alto Adige

So I did some research and checked with some pretty credible sources as to what they print, in ENGLISH, for the name of this region (and province) in Italy.

• Fodor's - a well recognized and respected name (and expert guide) has regional and local publications that show the region and local names of "Trentino-Alto Adige", "Alto Adige", and "Bolzano".

• Michelin - also expert in travel guides - has regional and local publications that show the region and local names of "Trentino-Alto Adige", "Alto Adige", and "Bozen".

• Rand McNally (name speaks for itself) has world, regional, and local publications that show the region and local names of "Trentino-Alto Adige", "Alto Adige", and "Bolzano".

• Streetwise Map's regional, and local publications show the region and local names of "Trentino-Alto Adige", "Alto Adige", and "Bolzano".

• Dorling Kindersley or "DK" - by far, probably the best travel guides available - has regional and local publications that show the region and local names of "Trentino-Alto Adige", "Alto Adige", and "Bolzano".

• Lonely Planet (the self-proclaimed largest independently-owned travel guide) regional, and local publications show the region and local names of "Trentino-Alto Adige", "Alto Adige", and "Bolzano".

• Hammond Map - a subsidiary of Langenscheidt Publishing Group (a privately-held German publishing company) - has regional and local publications that show the region and local names of "Trentino-Alto Adige", "Alto Adige", and "Bolzano".

As far as proof, I am quite sure that the above sources are credible enough, especially in the sense of geographical knowledge, expertise, and English-translation. Rarelibra 03:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit

I do not appreciate the comments with me. It is well proven that only a few are involved in this (and I have also seen the repetitious names involved with other such articles). Thus, I have the right (and proof) to make such mentions. You are I are on the same approach - the article itself can stay as a historic reference but the province and region articles should comply with the official usage. So let's not you and I lock horns, please. Thanks. Rarelibra 15:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol flag

Thanks for taking care of that - it was a shame to see that Bot delete the image and take away from the article. Rarelibra 18:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update User:Markussep/Luxembourg

I uploaded a newer version of the Athens Seal, and it's now Athens_seal.png, so if you want you can update you user page: User:Markussep/Luxembourg. I'll probably end up deleting the older version soon (Athens_seal.jpg). El Greco 14:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ades

Hey Markussep, interesting bit on the Alter Ades and Adesc Aut. I think either can be ok in "Ladin", and as you say, it is a broad language. As far as I know the Adige is Ades, so I'm a bit confused by the c at the end. I think either Alter Ades or Ades Aut is fine. I know of the usage of Ades Aut, Ades Bas (Adige High, Adige Low). Not sure the spelling on low.. anyway. I've put both now, the more the merrier. Taalo 23:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

• umm, i don't think i've made any changes on that (at least not on purpose) since you posted about the hoax. you need some coffee this monday morning?? :P Taalo 16:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• yeah, last time i added it was three hours before you posted the info about the hoax. it did get reverted back incidentally with the little edit war with PhJ. like i said, i was going to commend you on your research. my point of contention is a bit with the ades and adesc.. but small stuff. it may be a difference between the language in trentino and the official ladin. no biggie..

[edit] motion to close mediation

hello there,

there was a mediation offer quite a while ago concerning the issue of Trentino-South Tyrol. I am happy to announce that the issue has been discussed, voted upon and settled. However the mediation offer still needs to be officially closed. Please take a minute to visit the page Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-10-20 Trentino-South Tyrol and put your signature at the bottom if you agree with the decision, thank you. sincerely Gryffindor 20:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

• A very important note. This mediation offer concerned the greater overall naming convention to use in this region, not just the name of the region itself. We came up with a very good compromise for the regional name itself. I for one am still looking forward for Lar to help us out. Taalo 21:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Târnava River

Hi. Do you think it's time to split the page into multiple articles? Khoikhoi 21:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. I see the other language wikis have more info, I'll include that too. Markussep 16:05, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Great, thanks. Khoikhoi 18:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Province of BZ

Markussep, didn't you once find an official gov't document that showed there was a motion to have the name of the province be Province of BZ - AA/ST (i.e. with area name appended), but it was rejected? On South Tyrol it shows Official in German: Autonome Provinz Bozen - Südtirol, based off the name shown on the provincial website. But if we write official I'd kind of like that to be really true, along the lines of what we've done with Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. My hunch is that the official names in gov't documents are Autonome Provinz Bozen and Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano (or possibly Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano-Bozen). cheers, Taalo 00:01, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It's in my archive: User talk:Markussep/ArchiveSouthTyrol#bolzano, my first answer. If you like, you can search the South Tyrolian Parliament proceedings, they're all on www.landtag-bz.org. Markussep 18:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Iburg

Hello, Markus,
you started Bad Iburg last year, thank you so much. I added some information and the city box but do not know how to ad the map that already exists in de:WP. Do you manage to help, please? Freundliche Grüße --MrsMyer 16:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support. I just copied an infobox from of the other articles about places near Osnabrück. So I did'nt know there is a new one. Somehow I feel that information about what to do in en:WP is not easily to be found.

Well, all new informations in Bad Iburg are a rough summary and translation from my first article I startet in de:WP about Schloss und Benediktinerabtei Iburg. Of course there is a lot of information about the city itself still missing in en:WP - but sometimes I'm simply missing the words and do not know how to translate precisely. And for the momment I'm busy with the de:writing competition for which I started an article about Heinrich Babender, a sculptor from [Münster]] (1475-1537), and his son Johann Brabender. Quite a challenge.

By the way: Can you give an example how to link from en:WP to de.WP oder vice versa? I would like to link my en:Usertalk to my german one because I don't look here very often. Kindest regards, a lovely weekend --MrsMyer 12:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much again - I'll think about what to do best. --MrsMyer 12:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
