[edit] Udo Lindenberg

Hi, I fixed the Lindenberg article. There was a missing heading from my translation of the German article (Chartplatzierungen - Place in the Charts). I've added an appropriate English heading and added a footnote for the D, A & CH headings (yes you got it right). Thanks for your interest. Ozdaren 22:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible misunderstanding

Greetings Zack Holly Venturi, We seem to have reached a misunderstanding at the Escher article page. I did not delete your (?) edit to the Alhambra. The only thing I deleted (and pasted on the discussion page for anyone to check out) was some (IMHO) weird reference to a rapper. Sorry if you were troubled, but I can assure you I didn't touch any ref. to the Alhambra - Escher's awe of said palace is well-documented. Regards, --Technopat 00:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hallo, Technopat,
Yes, it seems we have, really:
  • But please check that my latest edition had nothing to do with yours. Mine just substituted the word fourteenth for fifteenth in the Later Life section, so restoring the previous writing, which had been vandalized a week earlier.
  • Now about your deletion of the trifle remark about some guy who apparently told something about Mr. Escher, I must say I absolutely agree with you. If somewhere, that trivia item should be placed in the page dedicated to the guy who told it (if he ever did, by the way).
Believe me, I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
Kind regards, Zack Holly Venturi 16:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanx for your reply. Let's hope that, over time, these guys can get their kicks out of other things - see you elsewhere sometime! Regards, Technopat 12:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citizens for Blank Votes

It is a fact. You can see it in the official election results available from http://www.elecciones.mir.es/MIR/jsp/resultados/index.htm

You will notice that the number of votes cast is divided into "nulos" (void) and "válidos" (valid) votes, and that the latter are divided into "en blanco" (blank) and "a candidaturas" (to candidates).

If you insist on having a legal reference, check out http://noticias.juridicas.com/base_datos/Admin/lo5-1985.t1.html#c6s14

Artículo Noventa y seis.

  1. Es nulo el voto emitido en sobre o papeleta diferente del modelo oficial, así como el emitido en papeleta sin sobre o en sobre que contenga más de una papeleta de distinta candidatura. En el supuesto de contener más de una papeleta de la misma candidatura, se computará como un solo voto válido.
  2. En el caso de elecciones al Congreso de los Diputados, al Parlamento Europeo, a los Ayuntamientos y a los Cabildos insulares serán también nulos los votos emitidos en papeletas en las que se hubiera modificado, añadido, señalado o tachado nombres de los candidatos comprendidos en ella o alterado su orden de colocación, así como aquellas en las que se hubiera producido cualquier otro tipo de alteración.
  3. En el caso de elecciones al Senado serán nulos los votos emitidos en papeletas en las que se hubieran señalado más de tres nombres en las circunscripciones provinciales, de dos en las circunscripciones insulares de Gran Canaria, Mallorca y Tenerife y en las poblaciones de Ceuta y Melilla, y de uno en el resto de las circunscripciones insulares.
  4. Asimismo serán nulos los votos contenidos en sobre en los que se hubiera producido cualquier tipo de alteración de las señaladas en los párrafos anteriores.
  5. Se considera voto en blanco, pero válido, el sobre que no contenga papeleta y, además, en las elecciones para el Senado, las papeletas que no contengan indicación a favor de ninguno de los candidatos.
  • Thanks a lot, Miguel (you forgot to sign).

Your information is quite complete. I realize this business in Spain is more or less the same as everywhere else.
It's very kind of you, --Zack Holly Venturi (talk) 21:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Egypt

Hi. I just saw that you wrote me on the talk page of Egypt. I did not see that i am sorry. No the meaning of what i wrote in my profile is the following: - My mother tongue is Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, but since the Arab wikipedia is in Standard Arabic, i cannot contribute much and i will have a hard time translating things. What i speak less than natively is the Standard Arabic, and this is because i did not finish grade school in Egypt, but moved to Europe with my family. Denmark, so thats why my danish skills is better than my Standard Arabic skills. i hope you understand now... take care :D Hamid-Masri (talk) 15:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. To some extent, I also have problems of the like, that's why I was interested in your case. In compensation, we can offer a multilateral worldview.
I appreciate your contribution.

[edit] Your edits on Italian general election, 2008

Can you please explain this? These kinds of edits might be considered vandalism, with all the given consequences. If you do not agree with the article layout or content, please discuss it on the related talk page instead. Thanks. --Angelo (talk) 09:50, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Hi, Angelo,
Well, frankly speaking, I cannot. I was trying to fix something, but probably on a previous edition instead of the latest version. So, bang!, subsequent material disappeared. Less than a minute later I was on my way to revert my mistake, but you had already mended it, thank you. This is the first and for the moment only time something like that has happened to me, anyway I'll pay attention.
Colgo l'occasione per augurarti buon lavoro e buon divertimento nella WP.
Cordiali saluti, --Zack Holly Venturi (talk) 19:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
