Farewell

JdH has left Wikipedia for good. Some of the reasons why you can find here here, here, and here, and there many more instances. At this point in time I can't afford to spend time and effort to go through yet another Mediation cycle.
Good luck to all of you, JdH 14:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I have translated the Latin in this article per your request. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 03:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry

Thanks for spotting my mistake with AWB. I'll be more careful in future. Edward (talk) 07:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Paul Ehrenfest

Please stop adding inappropriate categories to Paul Ehrenfest. This article is about a scientist, and is intended to highlight Ehrenfest's scientific accomplishments. It is not about murder, suicide, and all that; it does not discuss it. I have spent a lot of time and effort to bring this article up to wikipedia standards, and I do not want it so see it corrupted by someone whose seems to have some kind of obsession with murder/suicide. Thank you for your cooperation, JdH (talk) 16:34, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

It does "discuss it": "Having made arrangements for the care of his other children, he first shot his younger son Wassik, who had Down syndrome, then killed himself." See my comments on the talk page there. And WP:OWN, while you're at it. Your repeated removal of valid categories could be viewed as disruptive editing; I suggest you stop. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 20:33, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

On more reason to quit. If you go back to the history of that article you will see that I practically wrote it all by myself. And now you accuse me of "disruptive editing"? It is unreal JdH (talk) 15:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Frits Zernike.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Frits Zernike.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:Aufwindkraftwerk prinzip illustration.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Aufwindkraftwerk prinzip illustration.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for File:Dirk Coster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dirk Coster.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:02, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Princess Henrietta of England

Going there.

Am trying in my spare time to edit the article & find myself stuck on this trivia-filled section.

After spending an hour reading through it last night, I gave up & logged out.

Justus Velsius

Concerning the link on Born again (Christianity): This time it was removed because honestly I couldn't think of a way to describe it; I was confused when I tried reading the article again to get an idea what it was he taught. I gather you have done a lot of work on the Justus Velsius article, so perhaps I could ask you something: it seems the only place new birth is talked about in the Justus Velsius article is in the theology section, which doesn't have any sources as far as I can tell. It doesn't seem to be a major theme in that article... was it really that prominent a part of his theology? Did he influence later proponents of the idea? I'm just trying to figure out how significant the connection is...

Also, what is meant by justification through new birth, rather than forgiveness? Since there aren't references in that section, I can't find out... a statement like that needs some explanation and refs as well. Since you're working on that article, would you mind improving that section? (Of course, Christianity-related articles in general have issues with sources... much to my chagrin. Hope you don't feel singled out in that regard, especially since you've been working hard to source the rest of Justus Velsius)

If he was indeed a major forerunner of this idea, then he should not be in the See Also link, he should be in a new history section for Born again (Christianity), which you would be welcome to contribute to. He should also perhaps be mentioned in Justification (theology), since it seems like his stance on it would be interesting... which is why I hope you'll improve that theology section so I can understand what he meant by that :) - Thanks,

Category:Images from Pitts Theology Library Digital Image Archive

Hello. I see that you've restored the copyright claims on Category:Images from Pitts Theology Library Digital Image Archive. They were removed because these claims are meaningless. Indeed, the precedent of Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. establishes rather clearly that these images are in the public domain no matter how much effort the Library had to put in producing them. It's quite ok to restore some text that credits the library for producing these images but the current explanation is misleading and should be removed.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline. There don't seem to be any blocks affecting you. If you still can't edit, make another unblock request and copy-paste the entire block message. Another thing you can try is to clear your browser cookies. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:29, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

I still can't edit. The reason given in the template that pops up is the following: You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia due to an autoblock affecting your IP address. This is because someone using this internet address or shared proxy server was blocked. The ability of all users on this IP address to edit pages has been automatically suspended to prevent abuse by the blocked party. Innocent users are sometimes caught in an autoblock. It may be the case that you have done nothing wrong.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. You have not provided enough information for us to find this block. Please reread the block message and exactly follow the instructions provided. Yamla (talk) 15:18, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Michaele and Tareq". The reason given for Michaele and Tareq's block is: " Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username does not meet our username policy. Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing. A username should not be promotional, appear to represent a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. However, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by: Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username. If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} on your user talk page, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. ".

Windcatchers

I've largely rewritten the article at Windcatcher, which I noticed you took an interest in and commented upon extensively on the talk page. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me whether it is now clear. I know the article is still unbalanced and poorly-sourced , but is the mechanism comprehensibly explained?
