[edit] Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. NickelShoe (Talk) 21:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Von Möllendorf

An editor has nominated Von Möllendorf, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Von Möllendorf and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

[edit] AfD nomination of Dietrich Man

Dietrich Man, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Dietrich Man satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dietrich Man and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Dietrich Man during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 04:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I added a source for him, but if you've got a source for the info you put into the article it'd help save it from AfD if you added it now. Nick mallory 13:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome and Dietrich Man

I just noticed you haven't been properly welcomed. So here's our standard boilerplate welcome:

Welcome!

Hello, Edwin Hale, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!  Kusma (talk) 19:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the deletion nomination of Dietrich Man above: I just searched for some sources and references for the story, and learned some interesting things (like the existence of a bishopric of Havelberg). I was able to verify his time as a bishop, but couldn't find out anything about his family. Could you help out a bit and tell us and cite your sources? Thank you, and thank you for writing these articles! Kusma (talk) 19:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Could you try to add your source to a ==References== section in the articles? (You may want to follow the citation guideline WP:CITE). I found the book you mentioned in the catalog of the German National Library; the German Wikipedia even has an article about the author, de:Oskar Pusch (Genealoge). For the articles where you have used the book, can you add a References section that contains something like

*Pusch, Oskar: ''von Below''. Dortmund : Forschungsstelle Ostmitteleuropa im Lande Nordrhein-Westfalen 1974. {{de icon}} which will produce

  • Pusch, Oskar: von Below. Dortmund : Forschungsstelle Ostmitteleuropa im Lande Nordrhein-Westfalen 1974. (German)

(unfortunately I can't find an ISBN for the book). That makes it easier for others to verify your research, and helps other editors who want to do more research on the topic. Thank you, and happy editing! Kusma (talk) 11:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of Grabow

There are two Grabows. The one in Saxony-Anhalt was in the diocese of Magdeburg. From here, colonists came to what was then the Prignitz, and created a new Grabow. This was then lost to Mecklenburg.Edwin Hale 09:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


You recently edited the history section of Grabow. Are you sure you had the right one? The mention of Magdeburg makes me think of Grabow, Saxony-Anhalt. Agathoclea 12:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Joachim Christian von Blumenthal

A tag has been placed on Joachim Christian von Blumenthal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Joachim Christian von Blumenthal

A tag has been placed on Joachim Christian von Blumenthal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
