I'm not to sure about that one, sorry but I can help you with other aspects of referencing articles. Kindest regards, — Rlest (formerly Qst) 20:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] July 2007

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 02:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quality of English

thanks for your comments, I agree with your sentiments. Yes, it really isn't the issue if Michelle's English is substandard (the best solution is to correct sub standard English but never pick on the user for it). But you're right, even if this was true about Michelle's English then it is NOT the basis for launching a personal attack. It's really a cover for Masalai to launch attack based on their feelings of WP:OWN. And there is no rule banning someone from Wikipedia for "substandard" English. Wikipedia is an international community/collaboration and there are a lot of non native English speakers (like yourself!) editing English language articles. I have no problem with that, Wikipedia gets wide international scrutiny which only makes it better. thanks again. LibStar 08:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I've given him a final warning. You don't have to admit you're wrong but what we're asking is to refrain from uncivil behaviour. It's on record now, if he does it again, I'll have him reported. It's not fair on Michelle who has numerous edits on so many topics. LibStar 08:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nachos

Thanks for trying to help by disambiguating pepper on the article Nachos. Unfortunately, in this case, pepper can refer to a number of different peppers listed on the disambiguation page, black pepper probably not being the main one. In this case I believe a link pointing to a disambiguation page is appropriate. I have redirected to capsicum, the genus that contains the peppers likely being referred to. — Swpbtalk|edits 15:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC) 13:41, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I think the capsicum article pretty well covers the spice peppers in question (though it could be expanded), and Category:Chili peppers provides a more exhaustive list. I don't think pepper is large enough to require a sub-disambiguation page or a set index article. The non-capsicum plants that are referred to as peppers are not grouped with the capsicum plants in any way but by name, so it's not very likely someone would want to link to a page (dab or article) discussing all plants, but only plants, that have "pepper" in their name. — Swpbtalk|edits 15:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC) 14:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Norwegian Sami Association

Hello! I know this is a rather strange request, but is there any way that you could help out with the translation of the article in the header? I left the Norwegian text in the English article and then commented it out, so the material's there (and it's a very short article) already. I'd really appreciate any help you could give. Thanks! -Yupik 21:34, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear Eivind,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. Daniel 10:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] F60

Hello Eivind -

There are certainly a lot of technical terms on that page! I'm not at all familiar with mining, but I did the best I could with it. I left a note on the German F60 page asking for someone to review the article and someone kindly did. Mathew5000 also looked at it and categorized it. But anyone who really knows something about this machine is more than welcome to have another look! It is certainly an impressive thing, isn't it?

[edit] March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue II - March 2008
From the editor

This is the second issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the Newsdesk
Other areas where you can help
  • Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
  • More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
    • Transportation in Germany
    • German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
    • German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

  • Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news
  • Cities and municipalities task force

The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here

  • Article Assessment:

There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment.
