[edit] anti-americanism

Please refrain from deleting informative sections of articles before discussing, cite your reasons and perhaps your edit may not be reverted --Frogsprog 20:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Well no other editor has had a problem with the discrimination section, which I wrote myself to work alongside the other which i found fairly POV, and I have also seen very little opposition to in canada which I did not write, the only opposition really has been to a picture caption which may have been slightly POV. I am slightly suspicious that you may be an American and are attempting to remove any material that portrays the US in a bad light!--Frogsprog 20:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gustave Moynier (again)

Just as a side note, the German article about Moynier has reached FA status, so its English counterpart could benefit from a revamping :o). The German article is more than double in length and number of references by now, and it mentions some aspects of his life which are currently not to be found in the English version. Even if you don't have the time and energy for a translation, the extensions might be interesting for you to read. Best Regards, --Uwe 08:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] June Meetup in New York

Hi, I noticed you on a list of New Yorkers. If you are interested in around we are having a meetup Wikipedians in June. Take a peek at this and please tell any other Wikipedians that you think might be interested in participating about this event. Thanks. Alex756 02:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Honorary Citizens of Vienna

The List of Honorary Citizens of Vienna (that I believe you created?) starts off with a 'Francis Rawdon' in 1797. I expect that the correct article for this person to link to should probably be Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings, rather than the current link, which has become redundant. As you will see from the article, this Francis Rawdon held a number of titles including Lord Rawdon, Earl Moira, and latterly 1st Marquess of Hastings!

Do you have access to a source that will enable you to confirm the correct identity of this person? Thank you. Downhamhill 13:06, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I just made it into a redirect. The German Wikipedia, from where I translated the article, has it link to Rawdon-Hastings. Of course, there is a possibility that could be incorrect. Tfine80 13:46, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Self Harm page

Hi there, I'm getting in touch as you've done some recent work on the self-harm article. I've done a fair bit of study on this subject recently, so reckon I'm in a position to go through and get a good load of citations in there. What I propose, is moving to using the tag to make this easier, and then I'll go through and get citations in, and replace some of the "some people" type areas with referenced viewpoints, trying to get multiple view is where there are opposing views. Obviously this'll involve a bit of rewriting and adding so I wondered if you have any feedback on this before I start. Acidsaturation 07:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks ...

... and I'd be happy to meet you in Vienna. Unfortunately, I won't be here July 1 to July 8. Hope we can meet afterwards! All the best, <KF> 22:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Great. Contact me via (kurt.forstner AT chello.at) or, if you prefer giving me a call, 069919209003. See you then! <KF> 23:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dershowitz and Simpson

According to the O. J. Simpson murder case article, Alan Dershowitz was one of Simpson's lawyers. In that case, shouldn't Dershowitz also appear on Template:Simpson Trial? —Lowellian (reply) 02:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

The template looks fine. Good job! —Lowellian (reply) 19:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

A big problem was having that template add the category, then not taking the time to see that it was done right. I've just spent considerable time fixing the indexing sort keys of all but one of the articles using this template. Gene Nygaard 00:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New translation

Hi there, it would be nice if you could spend some minutes to proofread my newest translation Slavutych. Thanks in advance, --Uwe 19:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alpha Phi Alpha

thanks for your contributions and watching this page from being vandalized by "you know who". A lot of work has been done to the article because I'm trying to get it to Featured Article status, which mean it can appear on the main page of wikipedia. User:Jtmichcock, a non alpha has provided great copyedit to take it to the next level. Please send Jtmichcock a barnstar on his user page if you don't mind. 15:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Alpha Phi Alha is now a Featured Article in wikipedia. Ccson 15:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removal of information

Hello! The Cuba article is very hot at the moment. It would be best if you would first discuss any major edits on the talk page. Thanks, Myciconia 02:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

This was a minor, non-controversial edit. It is completely ridiculous to say that Cuba has done more than the rest of the world in helping Chernobyl victims. With no citation and a triumphal tone. I'm not surprised the article is controversial and receiving media attention. Huge sections are a joke. Tfine80 03:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help wanted

Do you still watch Anti-Americanism? Do you still care about the pernicious things that get said about America?

I want to remove it from my watchlist because of the headache but I'm dead-set to not remove because it will be hijacked immediately by editors who pop-up everyday and want to rant about GWB. I'm not asking for a look at every detail on the Talk, but a check-up when you're on this Wiki, maybe?... I don't mind disagreeing with you because it's fruitful; I'm just getting tired of disagreeing with people who seem to edit idiotically. Sorry to bother (again), Marskell 22:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I hang about here too much and I know other people have limited time. I'm really glad you still have an interest in the article. It's "top-google", it's an obvious search topic, and it should be good. Marskell 23:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh and: User:Marskell/AA. Potential new intro. I know basically every word is cited, but that's what you need to do when you wind up in edit wars with newbies... Marskell 23:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I have endorsed and will make a fuller comment there (perhaps I'll wait and see if she reverts me again). It may be too soon for an RfC, but this editor is a clear POV-pusher. I believe she's in violation of 3RR (it's like five in 28 hours, plus one extra revert to your removing points on the list). I would suggest not adding the dispute tag. In an odd way this endorses her version as the one being argued over--it's the long standing version that belongs. Thus, if she reverts, revert her. I know reverts aren't an entitlement but I don't want to let her awful intro a foot in the door.
And do you like my new longer intro BTW? Marskell 10:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mediation request

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Anti-Americanism, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible..

The request will be posted shortly. Note you just have to go there and agree to the mediation. Talk is getting us nowhere. Marskell 17:22, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marielleh

You're welcome. :-) SlimVirgin (talk) 22:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Cross Article

Hi there, I kindly ask you to check today's changes to the article about the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement‎ made by User:Francis Schonken, and the respective discussion on the talk page of the article. I provided a number of reasons why I reverted this changes, and I sincerely believe the reasons to be valid and his reasoning to be based on a lack of insight into the complicated historical and legal grounds regarding the emblem issue. As I don't want to run into an edit war, I would be happy to get additional opinions from other users. --Uwe 15:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] İlham Əliyev

Do you agree that it's time to move this article? It's been 10 days since the survey began, the vote is +65% in favour of a move and the discussion seems to be spinning its wheels. Also, the article was originally moved to "İlham Əliyev" with no discussion whatsoever, so the current title seems illegitimate. Any thoughts? Pinkville 23:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ICRC move

Hello again Tfine80, at long last I'm satisfied with my work on a new International Committee of the Red Cross article. It's still far from perfect, but it's a start. That article is at User:Draeco/ICRC, and I've proposed a move here. I hope you can take the time to give your opinion, you've done a lot of valuable work in the area. - Draeco 18:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for joining WP:SYR

Hey, thanks for joining WP:SYR. It's such an amazing coincidence that we're both in both WP:SYR and Wikipedia: Wikiproject Vienna. I'm in Vienna now and grew up near Syracuse and went to college there. -newkai t-c 18:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] German currency

I am writing this because I stumbled upon one of your edit on "Franz Eher Nachfolger". Germany had many different currencies throughout the history. So I'd like to take this opportunity to present the quick cliff-note info.

Cheers. --Chochopk 07:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Frankfurt

This is to inform you that the project page mentioned above, which you created, has no listed members. No listed members is one of the criteria for deletion. Please rectify this situation by adding a member list and yourself to that list. Thank you. Badbilltucker 18:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cuban missile crisis

Hey, I liked what you did there on the Cuban missile crisis page. Also introducing a link to an article I didn't know existed. Thanks.--Zleitzen 10:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany

Hi Tfine80,

I noticed you were the primary contributor to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Frankfurt. I don't know, if you know about this, but a WikiProject Germany was recently started up. Would you be interested in helping with that? The Frankfurt Project seems to be pretty much inactive to me, is that true? Would it make sense to simply merge into to the Germany Project?--CarabinieriTTaallkk 21:04, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Austria

Are you interested in joining WikiProject Austria? You can join here. Kingjeff 00:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AA

Hey Tfine. I just did a bit of flamethrowing on Anti-Americanism and noticed you'd been working today as well. Do you know if in-line citations can be provided for the quotes from Heidegger etc. in Anti-technology and Romantic hostility? Slowly, slowly in-line cites have been appearing in the article and this is one spot where they're needed, as direct quotes are used. Marskell 18:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Document from Red Cross history

Howdy, (again) long time no see :). How has life been for you? Did you find some time to read the Junod book which I sent you? My question this time is whether you see any chance to find the full text of the following document: "Report of Charles S.P. Bowles, foreign agent of the United States Sanitary Commission, upon the International Congress of Geneva: For the amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the field, convened at Geneva, 8th August, 1864". I'm currently reading a German book about Dunant, and the author (Martin Gumpert) provides some interesting excerpts from that report. It seems that reading the full report could provide some very interesting background information about the difficulties of the 1864 congress, and how the delegates finally managed to agree on the first Geneva Convention. And Charles Bowles seems to have played a very important role for the success of the conference. So all in all, his report seems to be a very interesting document, from a historical point of view. Any chances for you to find it in some public government archives, or some library via interlending? --Uwe 19:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Protective sign

Hi there, hope you had a nice Christmas and a good start into the new year. If you have a couple of minutes, could you take a look at my newest contribution to the English Wikipedia - Protective sign - to correct any language glitches? Also, I'm not sure whether "Protective sign" is the most used English term for the German word "Schutzzeichen", so if you know a better lemma don't hesitate to move the article to a new lemma. And last but not least, you probably know better what terms should be used to create appropriate redirects. Best Regards, --Uwe 13:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stadtteile von Frankfurt am Main

You will find coats of arms and images for every borough - except Eschersheim and those that never had an own coa - of Frankfurt in Commons in commons:Category:Coats of arms of Frankfurt am Main and commons:Category:Boroughs of Frankfurt am Main. --EvaK 02:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] de:Liste der Präsidenten des Internationalen Komitees vom Roten Kreuz

Howdy, if you have some time and need some work, it might be a good idea to translate the above list which I've recently created. It would be a good surrogate for separate articles which the English Wikipedia lacks at present for most of the former ICRC presidents. --Uwe 18:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Let me know if I can be of any help. My issue with translating this list for myself is that translation is much faster and gives better results when translating into the own native language. So translations from German to English are more efficient if you translate and I proofread the result. --Uwe 18:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your redirect of Alpargatas to Havaianas

You redirected Alpargatas to Havaianas in September 2006. Why did you do this? Havaianas are only a single product of Alpargatas S.A.. As it is, I'm going to revert your redirect. I hope to hear from you. Stale Fries taste better 17:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. I'll see what I can do about rewriting it. Stale Fries taste better 01:32, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
