Aldi Article Vandalism

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing with the Aldi article. If you continue vandalising, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. 217.232.185.89

The moving of the article Gunter Eheim

Good day. I see you've recently moved the article Günter Eheim to Gunter Eheim. While I can see that you're a native speaker of german, I won't contest your greater knowledge than mine over the language itself, but if you consult the talk page of the article, there was a consensus reached over the correct spelling of the name of the article. Unless you can prove the consensus wrong (which I don't doubt you can considering your a native german), could you please revert the moving of the article you did back to it's original location, that is, Günter Eheim ? If you can prove the consensus wrong, please add the sources to the talk page so that everyone can be made aware of the currently standing spelling. Danke Sehr !

Concerned about spam? Look at yourself.

Please refrain from deleting perfectly good external links, labeling them as spam in article histories, and then branding the contributors as spammers by pasting boilerplate undeletable spam messages on their Talk pages. This amounts to reverse spam. If you read Wikipedia's guidelines on external links carefully, you'll discover that there are exceptions to the rules. If you aspire to be a good editor, it would behoove you to learn how to discriminate such exceptions, rather than to dismiss valuable contributions with robotic messages that cynically welcome contributors while accusing them of spamming.

You might also examine what motivates you to police articles to which you have contributed, and why you relish applying accusatory labels. Understanding, for example, that such behavior often stems from feelings of powerlessness could be helpful with reining in a need to control others. 69.182.5.12 17:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Lidl Image change

I noticed yo recently made a change to the Lidl article changing a picture, i appreciate your edits to the article, though are you sure that the new picture is of greater quality than the one it replaced?

Edit id: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lidl&diff=96845281&oldid=94484826

Images:

Original Image

New Image

The image is good, but the old image had slightly more of the store front in frame, is not intruded on by a large close-to-camera car, nor a lampost. It seems to me that the original picture should be reinstated, or that both images are used in the article. What is your opinion on the matter, and should we hold a public consensus on this? I'd greatly appreciate if you could reply, either to here or my talk page. Thanks in advance Benbread 11:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Kryill and stuff

Hey sorry about my tone on WikiProject talk, I guess I got a bit carried away emotionally (the storm did have some close effects to me). I am an experienced editor in WikiProject Tropical cyclones so I know a lot about how naming of tropical cyclones work and the difference in how the European names operate. To give you a reasonable explanation here goes:

• Names assigned to tropical cyclones are from a predetermined list, agreed upon by the relevant WMO members. The designated RSMC for the region (NOAA for Atlantic hurricanes) names the storms and this name is used by all countries for official forecasts and documents (eg Mexico on Hurricane Gordon [1]). The press invariably refers to the storms by these names, irrespective of where the organisation or the storm is.
• The European storm names are selected by FU Berlin without consultation with any other organisation. These names are used for every high/low pressure area in the European area for German forecasts, and some other nations too, but other nations do not use them. As a result, German media extensively uses these names, but the press elsewhere don't as a rule (the exceptions come from seeing how the Germans are reporting it). Furthermore, other weather services can and do select names for themselves such as happened with the Norwegians and Per.

Hopefully that makes clearer the significant differences between how the two schemes work for you. Whilst I personally dislike (seems in poor taste to me) the highest-bidder thing I agree it doesn't really matter as to how the name is generated, its more how these names are approved (the weather services of many nations vs one German academic institution).--Nilfanion (talk) 01:35, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Ireland links in Kyrill (storm)

Just wondering, why did you revert my corrections of the links to Ireland in the above article [2]? They were completely valid as all the other links are to states, while Ireland on its own links to the geographical term which includes Northern Ireland, even though that's already included in United Kingdom. - ^Рэд_хот^{(t • c • e)} 13:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I thought that might've been it (just didn't want to make assumptions). - ^Рэд_хот^{(t • c • e)} 17:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Gallery

Trees dont generally fall across roads and crush cars, but they did in this case. I would agree with you that pictures of fallen trees are redundant, but there are plenty of others on commons to use, say this one, this one (or 06.JPG), this one and maybe this one, but there must be a better image of a car/railway line/road blocked with a tree. Good job on keeping the article up to date. RHB ^{Talk - Edits} 18:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your work

Hi, wanted to thank you for your work on the article about this winter storm in Europe. Surely, those who got stuck in the mess probably won't get to read it soon as they have much bigger fish to fry at the moment, but those who are stuck at the distance with their worry (or plain panicking like myself :) might find such central point of up-to-date and balanced info especially useful.

Tool for Education or American propaganda

Is Wikipedia a resource for education and carrying FACTS or a tool for American propaganda?

Hello. I found yourUser:Doco/sandbox/DB Class 628 from Template:DB class 628 while searching other template. I wonder why you don't move it to DB Class 628. It has enough contents.

another request

There is another request. I translated Buchli drive from Germany to English. But section See also remains unlinked. Honestly speaking I am poor at English and German. I use machine translation for help. (I translated it as a step of making Japanese article.) So would you please translate Hohlwellen-Antrieb, Tatzlager-Antrieb and Einzelachsantrieb ? (I don't know their English equivalent.) If you translate these articles, I will translate them to Japanese. Thank you.

Image source problem with Image:Bofhlogo.svg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Bofhlogo.svg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. nadav (talk) 21:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

If the image is non-free as the tag indicates, then a fair use rationale must also be included. nadav (talk) 21:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
