"Hello Marc, please add an image license. thx --BLueFiSH ?! 23:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)"

Erm... how can I edit that info then? Obviously I just placed a Mars bar on my table and took a picture, so there's no copyright or anything... --Marc NL 07:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Reichstag picture edit

Yes, I meant for it to be GFDL. Thanks! Peregrine981 21:28, 6 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

MARSOC edit

Hello! Bist du sicher, was die Lemma angeht, die ihr offensichtlich in der deutschen Wiki habt? (MARK S. 13:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC))Reply

Hallo, ich habe nur den Interwiki-Link auf den Artikelnamen in de.wp abgeändert. Ob der Name richtig oder falsch ist, kann ich nicht sagen. Gruß --BLueFiSH ?! 22:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)Reply


Schönhausen Palace edit

Why did you move Schönhausen Palace to Schloss Schönhausen? An administrator moved it to Schönhausen Palace. You reason "German name for it" -- with a smiley face, isn't as amusing as you'd think. This is English WP, not German WP. In English, this structure is Schönhausen Palace. Charles 15:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion edit

I noticed that you tagged the page Image:100px-Rache-des-Papstes-k3.jpg for speedy deletion with the reason "better image available on the commons". However, "better image available on the commons" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use WP:IFD if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 17:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

ok, it's not my problem when the images on en.wp are orphaned, but Fernsehturm is currently showing the wrong picture so remove Image:Rache-des-Papstes-k2.jpg. --BLueFiSH  21:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you edit

Thank you for the email-correspondance you forwarded to me.

I think I understand what Kjell Göthe meant. I think he might agree to release under GFDL. If I have the time, I'll write something together.

Clean up after your moves edit

Will you please go fix the indexing sort key on Großes Schauspielhaus so that it sorts correctly, after your move a while ago, and any others where you created the same problem. Gene Nygaard 23:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

after reading Talk:Vossstrasse: I don't care a pap for it wether you write in EN.WP ß or ss. Vossstrasse vs. Voßstraße... have fun with it.. --BLueFiSH  01:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re:Image usage edit

Thanks for letting me know about the sugar cane image. Did you write that article? enochlau (talk) 13:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

no, i got a google alert for "wikipedia" and this article was the result. --BLueFiSH  19:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself, there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 17:20, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
