[edit] License tagging for Image:Deltawell.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Deltawell.png. 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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 09:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sopade

Hello. I don't know German, so the basis for this article is a machine translation that I did. Could you please proofread it and make sure it's an accurate rendition of the original? If so, thank you. Biruitorul 01:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I hope the following comments are useful.
The sentence: When the Sopade reached an agreement with the remaining party executive committee in Berlin about Paul Löbe for Hitler's peace resolution,... does not represent the meaning in the German version. According to de:Sopade, the Berlin committee about Paul Löbe agreed with Hitler's peace resolution, while the Sopade tried to convince the Berlin SPD not to agree. This caused the break between Berlin SPD and Prague Sopade.
Should the titles like Deutschland-Berichte be translated?
I am not sure about the words: secret correspondence system. For me, geheimes Berichterstattersystem rather refers to the reporters (Berichterstatter) operating in secrecy, than some correspondence being secret (it still was though, I believe).
The next sentence does not make sense to me at all: These dealt with the situation in National Socialist the EN Germany internationally informed.
In the bibliography, maybe given change -> new edition? Bamse 02:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. I'm busy at the moment, but when I've gotten a chance to integrate your suggestions, I'll see if I have any questions left. Biruitorul 02:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bot Issue

I've reported it and it appears to have been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience my bot may have caused. (It appears that no other articles were affected by this rare bug). Alphachimp 05:34, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess

You might like to join us at Physics/wip where a total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess. At present we're discussing the lead paragraphs for the new version, and how Physics should be defined. I've posted here because you are on the Physics Project participant list. --MichaelMaggs 08:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese Railway Stations

While the articles discussing Japanese railway lines are notable and its nice to see someone paying attention, why are small stations such as Hon-Atsugi Station 本厚着駅 included? I can see the argument for large terminals, such as 東京, etc., but why include the smaller ones? Wikipedia isn't a train station directory. If we treated every station equally we would crash the wiki-servers.--Shakujo 08:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hon-Atsugi Station

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Hon-Atsugi Station, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.--Shakujo 08:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

It is a translation in progress (in fact right now) of the not-too-short japanese article. I believe that this station deserves an article, having 140,000 passengers a day, thereby being 5th largest among the 70 stations on Odakyu-Odawara line. Bamse 08:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
If it was the fifth largest in Japan, then there would a case. We are slipping into a directory of the stations on the Odakyu-Odawara line, which is against WP:NOT#DIR.--Shakujo 08:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Are you going to delete all articles on railway stations in Japan being smaller than the fifth largest? Hon-Atsugi is an important station for commuters to Tokyo, so maybe there is some interest for Wikipedia. Bamse 08:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Please read WP:NOT#DIR. 140,000 passengers a day is not a big number. The list of stations at the bottom of this and related pages, suggests that the intention is to form a directory of all stations on the line. Some choice needs to be made about which to keep and which not to. If all stations that were considered important by commuters in Japan, including the ones I use, were included then we would have either a complete meltdown of the wiki servers or a list of only a few. There might be a case for this station to have a listing on the 日本語 site, but not here.--Shakujo 09:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map

Thanks for completing the map of suicide rates. I've added it to three articles and the image alone makes them significantly better. Cheers! MahangaTalk 00:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Ditto! As someone who usually just reverts vandalism to List of countries by suicide rate, it's wonderful to actually see a map! Thank you!--Will.i.am 07:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, apart from the Caribbean it wasn't all that hard. Let me know if you need another map. Bamse 07:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Star

For many excellent svg maps!

Hi Bamse, just noticed the terrific svg maps you have been doing, especially the elephant range in Africa and Tanzanian protected areas. Great work! --Astrokey44 09:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1868 Expedition to Abyssinia

Hi Bamse -- I uploaded some public domain images related to this article to Commons, & tried to link to one of these images on de:Wikipedia. After saving my edit, I saw that my German caption for the image was grammatically incorrect (my German sucks), so when I tried to fix it I discovered that my edit was rejected. Sigh. Would you update the German version of this article to reflect my updates? Much thanks. -- llywrch 02:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Llywrch. I am working on an update for the German article. Your article is quite expanded since when I last looked at it. Do you happen to know who Rosenthal is? Bamse 09:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Rosenthal? The name's not familiar; was he one of Tewodros' captives, with the British Expedition, or a writer on the subject? At the moment I'm not at home, so I can't check any of my books that treat of this event. -- llywrch 18:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
He was chained with Stern according to the article. Might deserve a note who he was. Bamse 00:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Now I'm home, & found his name in Crummey's Priests and Politicians: Henry Rosenthal was a fellow missionary of Stern to the Bet Israel, & Tewodros took them both into custody at the same time -- which is why the two were chained together. Rosenthal was the companion in the article who was badly beaten, according to Crummey. (The reason I left his name out this draft was that I didn't want to spend too much space on the prelude to the main act.) -- llywrch 05:27, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for elucidating. I updated the German version of the article and also added the nice pictures. Bamse 06:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
