[edit] Nice work

Bravo -- nice catch on spotting that old deletion and restoring it! I've done the same sort of thing several times myself, so I have a good idea how much work it takes to locate the offending edit. I'm curious, how far back was it, anyway? Cgingold 12:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, took quite some time to find this edit, dated April 25, 2006 ^_^ --bitterMan.lha 14:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Category

Just dropping a line on some people to let them know about a new category of Wikipedians I've created--Category:Wikipedians who like Dune. Cheers! Urania3 04:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed

I need someone who knows German to translate me whats written here. I really need the licence type and why it's public domain for this image. The German Wikipedia is the only Wikipedia i found a free image of the man. Hope for help, thank you. M.V.E.i. 18:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

"Aufgrund des nicht-rückwirkenden Copyright-Gesetzes der Sowjetunion sind alle Veröffentlichungen inklusiv der Bilder, die dort vor dem 27. Mai 1973 veröffentlicht wurden, gemeinfrei („public domain“). Dies gilt weltweit."
My rough translation: According to the copyright law of the Soviet Union, all material - including images - published before 27 May 1973 is in the public domain. This applies worldwide.
NOTENOTENOTE: A quick skim through various talk pages in de.WP shows that the german WP'ers are still debating the validity of this USSR-pre-'27 May 1973'-public-domain-thing. As a safe haven most users suggest using the common '70 years post mortem auctoris', and that the status of copyright laws in the former Soviet Union is very unclear.

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, BitterMan! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

[edit] Invitation to Wikipedia research by City University HK

Dear BitterMan,

I am Andreas Schroeder, a Research Fellow at City University in Hong Kong. Here at the University’s Center for Applied Knowledge and Innovation Management, we are currently conducting a research project on collaboration activities in Wikipedia. We are inviting experienced Wikipedians worldwide to share their experiences and views on different aspect of the community processes with us. Our aim is to find out how people integrate and coordinate their contribution efforts to ultimately better understand the mechanisms behind the amazing success of Wikipedia.

Because you are an experienced Wikipedian and a well integrated member of the Wikipedia community, we would like to talk to you about your experiences. We would like to do a short interview during the next two weeks either via Skype, MSN Messenger or telephone at a time that is most convenient for you. The interview should not take longer than 30 minutes and could be conducted in German or English.

We would very much appreciate your participation in this research project. Any information about participants will, of course, be kept strictly confidential. For further questions about the project and to arrange a date for an interview, please contact Andreas Schroeder at WikiResearchCityU{at}gmail.com or send me an email.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
Andreas Schroeder, PhD
