[edit] Hollywood Walk of Fame

Please do not add Category:Marilyn Monroe to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and List of stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame articles as these articles do not belong in the category. Categories are used to group together similar articles and these articles and the other contents of the Monroe category are not similar. Therefore, the relevant categories for the Walk of Fame article are Category:Halls of Fame, Category:Hollywood Walk of Fame, Category:Hollywood history and culture, and Category:Landmarks in Los Angeles beacause the Walk of Fame is a hall of fame, is part of Hollywood history and culture, is a landmark in Los Angeles and the main article of a category should be in the category. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is not part of Monroe, but Monroe is part of it, so her article should be in Category:Hollywood Walk of Fame but not the other way round.

[edit] Dynamo Dresen logo

The logo you are trying to put in place is NOT the logo the club CURRENTLY uses. I've told you that before and you've clearly labelled the item as from the 60s and 70s. Why do you insist on using out-of-date material when you've been told otherwise? You've made some additions of good material, but continually making small petty edits that don't add to the article or are clearly wrong is not helping anybody. You can do better. Please leave the CORRECT and CURRENT logo in place and work on managing your POV. Wiggy! 20:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Get it right

You're quite capable of making useful contibutions, so why don't you stop wasting my time and yours (and that of other editors) by posting material that is incorrect, unlicensed or POV. You added some decent stuff with the various tables you've put in place, put persist in making petty edits. Give it up and stick to the valuble stuff. It looks likes you're able to add good material but can't bring yourself to rise above this other nonsense. I think everyone would appreciate it if you would just play nice.

[edit] Verdiente Meistervereine

{{POV}} Hello, wie geht's. I've left a comment before about your changes to Fußball-Bundesliga in regard to Verdiente Meistervereine. Since then, you keep changing it and I keep changing it back. If you want to discuss and debate why you think your changes are more accurate, then please leave comments at Talk:Fußball-Bundesliga and we can start to work things out. If you have good evidence I will be happy to admit I was wrong. I think this is probably all just some kind of misunderstanding, but so far you ahve not made any comments to enable this to be resolved. I look forward to reading your comments.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:A_Ticket_to_Tomahawk.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A_Ticket_to_Tomahawk.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ↔NMajdan•talk 17:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Berliner FC Dynamo

{{POV}} You are making repeated poor edits to this page and are being unco-operative in not respecting established Wikipedia practices in making your changes. You've been banned previously for this kind of behavior and I'm about ready to formally complain.

  • This is NOT a fan page and should not be treated as such. There has to be some effort made to manage an obvious POV.
  • You cannot upload and then make use of un-sourced images. You have been advised of this repeatedly since your arrival on Wikipedia.
  • You cannot tag an article as a Good Article without going through the required review process. You can make the request for a review, but cannot just go ahead and tag it yourself. Your fellow Wikipedians are entitled to a say and the article clearly does not meet several of the criteria. If you want to tag your user page that way and award yourself barnstars, that's your biz I suppose, but its not appropriate to tag this article without respecting the process.
  • Please stop deleting relevant material. You have no cause to repeatedly remove the caption from the FC Berlin logo. The caption clearly and simply explains what the image is. Without the caption it is just a mystery image - just like the other logo you added, which is a duplicate of the image you added later in the page, by the way.
  • When you updated the team logo (to adjust the colours I assume) you deleted information which identified the logo and tagged it as part of the category German football logos. That's sloppy and inconsiderate editing.
  • It's great that you're learning English and trying to contribute here. But you are clearly not an accomplished English speaker yet and need help with your translations. Once something is properly translated by a native speaker you should leave it alone.
  • Have a look at the team info boxes of other clubs. They all report last year's league and finish. They DO NOT report current standings. This is stated explicitly in the definition of the template and can be reviewed at Template talk:Infobox Football club. Please stop your repeated misuse of this template form.
  • It would be appreciated if you respected established formatting/style rules. Reformatting headers into non-standard forms or changing simple lists into un-manageable columns doesn't help anybody.
  • I would appreaciate a response to my concerns or some demonstration of good faith through a marked improvement in the quality of the edits being made to this page. As you can guess from the bluntness of my message that having to clean up after you all the time is getting tiresome. Immediately deleting or archiving my comments is not regarded as an acceptable practise on Wikipedia and you have been advised of this before when dealing with other users comments.

But the account "Kay" has been registed more than three years ago and has edits since 2004 (see Special:Contributions/Kay), if these edits were not made by you, you should not claim to be that user.

[edit] Repeated vandalism of Berliner FC Dynamo

Nadia, It is inappropriate and goes against established Wikipedia policy to remove relevant references and repeatedly place spam links on a page. It's clear you are a Dynamo fan, but you can't keep erasing relevant parts of the club's history and useful reference material. Please stop and put some effort into managing your POV.

[edit] Annotation of List of football clubs in Germany

Nadia, this list isn't intended to be annotated with comments about individual clubs. It's a simple look up list, that's all. Besides that, the remark was so imprecise it was of little use. Edits should be of an appropriate nature and add clear, useful information. If you want to talk about DD's history do it on the club page and make a proper job of it.

[edit] Verdiente Meistervereine

Hello there! I have reverted your change to the German clubs in the table at Star (football crest) and Fußball-Bundesliga. The table is intended to show how many stars clubs currently wear on their shirts, and when stars were first added. All the evidence I have found says Bayern Munich currently have 3 stars, not 4; Dortmund have 1 star, not 2; Magdeburg have none, not one; and so on. If you have evidence to the contrary, please cite it when adding to or changing the table. Predicting future stars is not practical (Dynamo Dresden 2008?). Nor is it possible within the scope of a simple table in Star (football crest) to suggest how many stars teams would be entitled to if the system was applied for non-Bundesliga titles: it can only show what is the case, not what might have been or what ought to be. A second table could be added in Fußball-Bundesliga, or perhaps German football champions, but should not be confused with the current Verdiente Meistervereine figures. Regards, jnestorius(talk) 00:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] DDR-Oberliga

Hey, I reversed your edit to the champions list, as the titles were indeed won by Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt. While it is true that this team was originally moved from Aue, it simply won the title under the name KMS. It should therefore appear as such in this listing. Madcynic 20:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Ultras Germany, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SkierRMH 18:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Berliner FC Dynamo

{{POV}} Please stop making inappropriate edits to this page.

  • I took the time to review each of the links you added to the page and in general they are the type of link to be avoided in that they do not reference significant new information or tend to be only peripherally related to the club. You've included links to a search engine page, shopping pages, pages that link to each other, and some that are dead or seriously out-of-date. And I'm afraid just don't understand what a page about a group of three women showing off their tattoos has to do with BFC. While there may be merit in sometimes linking to foreign language sites that include useful material, appending German language news reports to an English language page is marginal at best. The links you are adding are simply not making the page any better. Your interest in the Ultras/hooligan side of fan culture would be better served by leaving those links on the Ultras page you put together - and even then I'd comb through your links to keep just the best.
  • Repeatedly removing the link to the English language site that provides a useful overview of the club, including some history, standings, logos, a table full of basic club info, etc. is inappropriate. There is probably more information about that club on that one page than there is in all the links you keep appending - and its offered up in a concise easy-to-read format. It is a useful resource, please leave it be.
  • Dynamo was at the forefront of the controversy over championship stars. Including it is appropriate and in context and provides links to other aspects of German football. I don't understand why it is repeatedly being removed.
  • Marking up Dynamo's titles as a "German record" without explaining what kind of record it is rather vague and misleading. A record of what? It's a DDR-Oberliga record for number of titles won. Ten consecutive titles in German first division play is a record. But it's not an overall national record as Bayern hold more titles. This was was noted in the qualifying preamble to the honours section - which was repeatedly edited out, and is now orphaned as some sort of afterthought. That preamble should have resolved the issue cleanly and simply.
  • During its dominant period Dynamo was a Stasi club, plain and simple. Editing out the title of the history section describing it as such is just a whitewash. There's no reason not to leave it be.
  • When an article is heavily edited and material removed its considered good form to provide some justification for deleting the material. That's not been done. I've tried to provide explanations for my edits, I'd appreciate your doing the same as its one of the most basic courtesies here. It might help me understand why stuff is getting tossed.
  • Your cut and paste of famous players has left a German language header in place that needs to be fixed. It's an English page and edits and links should reflect that.
  • Some useful material has been added through your edits, and I've seen you've done some good work on other pages, but this is just turning into a mess that needs sorting out. Let's do that. Wiggy! 21:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Kay33.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kay33.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Can you please explain here how you made Image:Early_fans.jpg with a Canon PowerShot A500 series camera? One of the images you had uploaded was deleted due to copyright violation.

[edit] Image:Early fans.jpg

Hi, on Image:Early fans.jpg, you assert that this is a self-made image from 1977. Can you describe where it came from? In other words, did you take the original photograph in 1977, then use a digital camera to take a photograph of the photograph? Or is this a scan or a photograph of a magazine? Please note that under Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp., an exact copy is not considered creative and thus no copyright is attached. In other words, if this is a scan or a photograph from a magazine article or poster or some such thing, its copyright is owned by the original publisher and it cannot be used on Wikipedia. If the image did originally come from a magazine, please consider explaining this on the image description page and tagging it with {{db-author}} so that it may be deleted.

Please start reading discussions and try to comment your changes. You are reverting changes that are correct and discussed. You would be able to understand other user's edits by reading the article histories. Also other users could better understand your edits if you try to comment what you are doing.

References are not only the name of a media in whos 60 years of history a reference may have been published. Name the media, the edition, the page, the author or if possible use external links. For example, you gave the reference "Dynamo Dresden (book)". How should anyone check this reference if you do not give an International Standard Book Number at minimum? Please use

<ref>{{Template:Cite book|title=Dynamo Dresden|last=Mustermann|first=Max|isbn=123456}}</ref>

to footnote statements that need citation. Please further read Wikipedia:Citing sources. Geo-Loge 23:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for joining Wikipedia, Nadia Kittel

Hi, I'm Xiong Chiamiov, another user at Wikipedia. If you ever need some help, please drop a message on my talk page (User_talk:Xiong Chiamiov). If you're wondering how to edit a page, going to Wikipedia:How to edit a page may be useful. Below are some tips which many come in handy sometime:

  • When writing a comment or sending a message, adding ~~~~ on the end will add your signature, as well as the current time and date. Your signature can be changed by going to Special:Preferences, or by clicking "my preferences" in the top right.
  • If you want to test that you can really edit pages, you may wish to go to Wikipedia:Sandbox, and you can add whatever you want! However, please do not make edits to Wikipedia articles with the intention of ruining them, as such edits are considered to be Vandalism.

Remember, if you need help, there are loads of places you can get it:

Thanks again for coming to Wikipedia, and I look forward to seeing your contributions. And remember, Be bold in updating pages! -- ;Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 20:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Unfortunately, I'm not sure I completely understand your question. If you create a picture that you wish to share with us (and it is fit for usage in an encyclopedia), then you would use that license, yes. Just remember that doing so will release any claim on that picture that you have. Oh, and just two things: first, always remember to sign your messages like this ~~~~. Also, you should put the {{helpme}} tag on your own talk page, right here. If you have any more questions, or I didn't really answer your first question, be sure to ask me. I'm glad you're here! Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 21:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm not an expert on copyrights, but I believe you could use either. I think I would use pd not gfdl, but I'm not sure completely what the difference is. Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 21:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fritz Gäbler

A tag has been placed on Fritz Gäbler, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Turlo Lomon 11:45, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2 warnings

First of all, when you upload an image, it is not appropriate to list yourself as the source. I would recommend reading up on topic either here or here. When you are asked for a source, you need to say where it is from. If you scanned it and then uploaded it, it's not necessarily ok to be uploaded. It could still be a copyright violation.

Secondly, please stop removing warnings. It is considered a breach of Wikipedia talk page etiquette and is considered a hostile act by most users. Just removing and ignoring the warnings is not the way to go.

If you continue to upload images without proper sourcing as well as removing warnings from your talk page, you will be blocked. Thank you. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 11:57, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop

If you blank your talk page again, I will protect it. Khoikhoi 12:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop, the second

Please stop dumping an old list of facts and figures in the Dresden article. What is the reason for that doubled information? Your content is not of current state and your translation is bad. Sorry but there is no quality advance! Geo-Loge 15:56, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You have been blocked for 12 hours

For various things. The block is instructive. In other words, it's to show that we are serious about these policies and that you need to do such things as make comments when you make major changes as well as following uploading guidelines. And please please stop blanking your talk page without comment. As I stated before, it's considered a hostile act. And by the way, this block isn't me saying that I agree in Geo-Loge in terms of what he said about the Dresden article and other articles. I just go by policy only and by generally accepted norms. Please heed this block and try to communicate. If you have a specific reason not to communicate, tell me on my talk page or email me via the "Email this user" link. Just avoiding it all isn't going to get you far. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 01:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: vandalism

Hello again Nadia (is that what you'd like to be called?). I'd like to cover a few ground rules here, before things escalate and you get into trouble.

First off, you should read Wikipedia's copyright policy. It is very important that all pictures you upload do not violate copyright. The easiest way to make sure they don't is to take them yourself, if you're in the area.

Second, always remember that none of us actually "own" an article. You may do a lot of work on an article, but it still belongs to everyone. That's what makes WP so great! If you and one other user are disagreeing, it's a good idea to leave a note on their talk page explaining what you are trying to do. You can also put a message on the talk page of the article. Without communication, there is no way you can understand each other; that will lead to your edits being constantly removed in an edit war. Edit wars are not helpful to anyone, so we try to avoid them.

It appears that Geo-Loge and you have similar interests. If you are going to be editing the same articles, you should learn how to get along.

I am rather curious as to why you are putting old information articles, though. Can you explain that please?

I've noticed that you have blanked your talk page. Rather than doing that, it would be much better if you archive them. Just copy everything there into a new page (such as User talk:Nadia Kittel/archives/1) and place a link here. Or, if you are lazy like me, you can have Werdnabot automatically archive for you.

I hope that all of this mess gets settled. Remember, stay cool. Cheers! Xiong Chiamiov :: contact :: 03:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your contributions

First of all: I never delete your contribution especially the long list of facts and figures of Dresden. It is just in a new article (Statistics of Dresden) where it better fits in. Overviewable lists may have their advance but are not the common content of articles. Articles should better be written in complete sentences. The article Statistics of Dresden needs overwork, references and better translation. I just began to improve and to structure this article. It would be great if you first of all name the source of all that facts and figures. Geo-Loge 11:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

You've made some terrific contributions. Despite what has transpired, we want you here and contributing. So please. Come back. :) --WoohookittyWoohoo! 01:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Hhhhhmann.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hhhhhmann.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] GDR stamp images

Image:Fh.jpg BTW, it seems to be the judgement of the denizens of commons that GDR stamps are actually in the public domain (see Commons:Template:PD-GDR stamps). So you can retag all your uploads with {{PD-stamp}}, or even better, move them all to commons, where there is even a nice little home for them in Commons:Category:German Democratic Republic stamps.

[edit] Retranslation

The reasons of the inhuman, racist treatments to the Dynamo Dresden fans, found in the first game at Stadion Crvena Zvezda. Dresden fans were pelted with stones and were spited. In additional, it came many of neo-nazis in the stadium, then "Dynamo" was a former stasi-club.

Can you please retranslate this to German? I hardly understand the statement. Geo-Loge 23:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
