Oberliga Nord (1947-63)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Oberliga Nord (1947-63), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Regionalliga Nord (1963-74). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 05:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Deutschland-Lage-von-Westdeutschland.png

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Deutschland-Lage-von-Westdeutschland.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tsg logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tsg logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Re: Amateurliga Nordbaden

My apologies! When I came across the article it was so small it provided very little context and did not sound notable. I find it is easier to start writing articles in a personal sandbox before moving them into the mainspace. That way the articles you create are more substantial and are much less likely to be tagged with speedy delete tags. If you do not know how to create a sandbox it is very simple, just start a new page with your username/Sandbox e.g. User:EA210269/Sandbox.

Regionalliga Nord

I think you might want to clarify that your new graphic shows the coverage of the Regionalliga from the season 2008/09 onwards. After all, no team just up and left come Janaury 1st. Besides, the league setup for the then tier-IV Regionalligas has not been finalised, so generally, I'd wait a bit longer. There are still issues about the allocation of some Lower Saxony clubs which might be put into Regionalliga West. --Madcynic (talk) 12:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope, can't help you with the alignment. Got no clue in these things. Yeah, it doesn't apply to all teams from Lower Saxony, only the westernmost ones are potential candidates for Regionallig West, such as VfB Oldenburg or BV Cloppenburg. But that will be decided once it has become clear which teams form the new tier IV league. --Madcynic (talk) 12:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, they aren't liking it at all, so you're quite on the spot with that feeling of yours ;) Madcynic (talk) 12:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Currently, this is just all talk and speculation, largely. However, there is an error worth correcting in the map displaying the current league coverage - Thuringia is coverd by Regionalliga Nord, as Erfurt play in Nord now, not South as prior to their last promotion to Bundesliga 2. Madcynic (talk) 13:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The same goes for this one only inverse, obviously. Madcynic (talk) 13:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

That league system on your userpage

You oughta put the Verbandsligen Holstein aso into tier V, coz that's where they are :) Madcynic (talk) 10:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand your qualms, however, from what I hear from the NFV (the North German FA), they do not plan to have an Oberliga any time soon. So, I'd personally edit that table to reflect reality. On the other hand, this can wait till fall. And I also use wiki to practise my English a little, so no speaking German for me here ;-)

Regionalliga images look good, too. Madcynic (talk) 11:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Ouch

Ow. Well you've now unfortunately had a taste of Kay. Don't let it put you off. I'm thinking that the best way to eventually deal with the situation is to begin with a decent article on the history of East German football that ties into separate articles on each of the various broadly based sports associations (Dynamo, Chemie, Aufbau, Rotation, Stahl, Lokomotive, Wismut, Medizin, etc.) established there. That would establish a solid context for bashing the Dyanmo article into proper shape. Overall, the East German clubs are to this point under represented. Its somewhere on my list of things to do. One day. Wiggy! (talk) 01:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey wiggy!, I'm not taking the guy to serious, from my point of view he suffers from some mental problem. Interessting how he gloryfies the old DDR-days when he is seemingly to young to have expierienced them. I guess, he must have had a father or grandfather in the old establishment who was fairly high up and tells him how "great" everything then was! I won't bother replying to his anonymus, unsigned rants. Anyway, I know what you are saying about the east German football, it is very under represented. I have tried a little bit of improvement by creating an article about the DDR-Liga and adding some stuff in the German football league system, however, I really think an article on the East German football league system is desperatly needed, might look into that some time soon. Regarding the clubs and sports associations, its a tricky one with the constant name changes and relocations. Hard to follow up, very time consuming! I wish you all the best there!EA210269 (talk) 01:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Challenges are good and its an interesting aspect of the German game. Thanks and see you around. Keep on editing! :) Wiggy! (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up.

There is no question in my mind that this is Kay. The Ostalgie / FRG-bashing and accusations of discrimination using "discriminate" as a transitive verb are dead giveaways. Since it's an IP he shouldn't be indef'ed, but feel free to revert his shenanigans and, if he starts trouble, I will block.

I also have my suspicions about a user who's not indef'ed, but will say more about that in the event that I bring it to SSP. - Revolving Bugbear 17:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Dynamo is a troublespot because of Kay's relentlessness. But if the IPs (there's another one -- I'm assuming home and either work/school) cause trouble they can be blocked for evading an indef. I'll see what the user you mentioned does -- yes, he's the one I was thinking of. - Revolving Bugbear 15:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks/Danke

Just a note of thanks for the barnstar you placed on my page the other day (my birthday!). Much appreciated. I must say, though, that you beat me to the punch! You deserve a similar accolade for all your work on the German football leagues. So here you go:

Thanks for the info regarding Maroomba Airlines. The reason I deleted the Maroomba flights is that I couldnt find anything current that said that they still fly to Wiluna. The Wiluna Shire website only mentions Skippers [2]. But if you can confirm that Maroomba flys a regular passenger service to Wiluna and that it not just a charter (for Wiluna Gold etc.), ill replace the content.

DDR-Liga and East German football league system

First of all, thanks for creating the articles in the first place - I would never have gotten round to it. I fixed some language tidbits and also the formatting of the image (no putting a . between 100 and px ;-) ). Just keep those articles coming tho. Madcynic (talk) 19:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, let's hope somebody who grew up with GDR football does actually add something. I've only been to one or two DDR-Oberliga matches in the late 80s and generally have no personal memory of the league system, being born in '82 and all that. Madcynic (talk) 11:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Dynamo-hall of fame

You're welcome. I have also salted the title for a few months, i.e. protected against its re-creation. Your deletion reason was well stated, but I though you might like to know that we have a dedicated speedy deletion tag for these types of articles, {{db-g4}} in which you should always provide a link to the XfD discussion where it was deleted (here it would have been {{db-g4|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dynamo-hall of fame}}). People are constantly misapplying G4 to articles only previousyl speedily deleted, so I, and I think most administrators, always have to search for the debate before deleting to make sure it wasn't just a prior speedy, if the past debate is not provided. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Please allow me to second this request. :) I was beginning to wonder if I would have to decline the speedy deletion request on Dynamo Hall of fame because I could not find a deletion discussion and, of course, it could not be found through the logs for the page. There was nothing in the deleted history of the creator. Fortunately, the thread here helped me find the relevant discussion so that I could handle this page properly. Given the number of speedy deletions we typically have to process at a given time, it would be very helpful if you could use the form above to link to the deletion debate in the future. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Dr. Jack de Sequeira

Will you relax?? Chill buddy! What do you expect? That every new article should be a 100 page thesis or something?? It takes time to write an article , okay? Maybe you have all the time in the world to sit and tag articles. Not everybody does. We have WORK to do, get it? --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 10:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Im sorry that I was quite rude, but I hope you understand that you had been a bit hasty in tagging the article. I had planned to write this article nearly a year back, but due to various reasons I never started on it(Perhaps that is a curse that Dr Jack de Sequeira lives with. He has been forgotten by his own people). Until yesterday when I decided that I had to make at least a small start .Unfortunately, this is not a small problem since a lot of folks out there are over-eager to delete new articles without giving it time.

I'll keep your advice in mind and also return the favour. I have speed-delete tagged quite a few articles too, but they have mostly been obvious cases, such as some jilted shoolboy bitching about the girl who turned him down, etc. If you feel that some article is too short, watch it for at least a week before tagging it.

Revisit the article by next weekend and if you feel that the article deserves to be deleted, raise an AFD. I won't take it personally.

BTW your assumption that I am new to WP is incorrect I have been here for more than one and a half years.--Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 10:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

re SC Dynamo Berlin

Thank you for your message at my talkpage. The ip block was the last thing I did before ending my lunchbreak, but I see that the next one was also blocked. I have quickly reviewed the above article and noted that ips are changing every time one gets blocked, replacing the vandalism. I subsequently reverted the last vandalism and have protected the article from editing by ip and new accounts for 3 days; I noted my actions at Talk:SC_Dynamo_Berlin#protection. I hope this brings a (temporary) end to this matter. LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. It may be best if the article is semi-protected long term - the good editors will create accounts, and any bad ones will be blocked and have to wait for four days before vandalising... However, it may be best to see if this (or perhaps a couple more) short protections will discourage the vandals. Thanks for keeping an eye on this. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I know it's not mandatory, or even alluded to in the guidelines, but I feel it's a nice courtesy. It takes WP:CIVILITY one step further. Thanks for adding that website. To be honest, I just wasn't sure which one to use. I figured that'd be the one, though despite his contributions to the albums, the only name mentioned on the page (other than God, that is) is jth (Joel Houston), which makes sense, being the visionary and leader of the band.

Hamburg

Hi there, sorry I'm a little it uniformed about sports clubs (I'm a couch potato ;-), but will take a look. Hope, I'll find something to add. About the map : sure it's not the right one, but you are also right, it's better than nothing. Schönen Tag ;-) Greetings Sebastian scha. (talk) 05:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Gauliga Pommern

Hi - there is an issue regarding this DYK nom which you may want to address. Question over the WP:RS of this website source, which is the sole one used for citations. If this is a reputable website, there shouldn't be a problem. Vishnava _talk 20:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Categories of German football clubs and leagues

Hello EA210269! Thanks for the kind words regarding my contributions. The reason that some articles are in both Bavarian/Swabian categories and the parent category is because I haven't gotten around to all of them yet; I have been going article by article. Since I am generally for subdividing categories to avoid having hundreds of articles in a category, I think it would be fine to add more categories (ie Category:Schleswig-Holstein football clubs), even if those articles do not receive as much as attention as Bavarian or Swabian clubs. I have no serious objections, however, if you want to restore duplicate categories. From a historical perspective, Category:Bavarian football clubs could also include clubs from the Palatinate, as that region was part of Bavaria prior to 1945. We could also make Category:Prussian football clubs, which could include clubs founded before that state's dissolution.

Good job on creating the Gauliga articles. FYI, the terminology Gauligas should be changed to Gauligen; the German word Gauliga is not commonly used in English, so the English plural system should not be used (unless that is how sources refer to them). Since it is a word borrowed from a foreign language, we should instead use the native plural term, Gauligen (similarly for Regionalligen, Oberligen, etc.). Cheers!

Hoffmann Photos

Hi,

Yes, they are in the public domain in the US!! They may not be in the public domain elsewhere. Actually, I am certain that in some European countries the photos are still protected under existing copyrights. However, in the US the photographs of Heinrich Hoffmann are considered to be in the public domain due to their status as seized Nazi property. Although in normal circumstances their copyrights would not yet have expired, you are free to use them on the US Wikipedia and other US sites.

For more information, please see: David Culbert (1997). "The Heinrich Hoffmann Photo Archive: Price vs United States (United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, 20 November, 1995)".

Hope this helps. Maria Mariaflores1955 (talk) 22:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Regional German Cups

I'd say it is best to use the English names. Most, if not all of these cups are named simply after the region that their respective association represents.

WikiProject Mining

Hi, I saw your Template:Infobox Gold Mine and was interested in it. I was trying to make in infobox for mines in general, not just gold, it had a lot of the material that you have in your template but also included a spot for a map and for type (surface or underground) and products (gold, copper etc.) Here was my attempt, but it never got beyond this and never got introduced, partially because of my lack of knowledge of the subject. So my message is twofold, I would like to invite you to join WikiProject mining (but keep in mind we are not very organized). My second question is can you help me create a infobox for mines in general, I had originally thought that production wasn't a great idea, but looking at your inclusion of a financial year section it would make more sense. Also in the template in the production section is ounces of gold per year or total?--kelapstick (talk) 18:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Excellent, welcome aboard, and happy birthday!--kelapstick (talk) 23:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Also I hope you don't mind but I borrowed your "User works in mining" userbox...--kelapstick (talk) 23:53, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

The infobox looks good to me, I was hoping to get a map like they have in Bancroft, Ontario, with a movable dot to show the location so a new map doesn't have to be uploaded for each infobox (like I had done at Raglan Mine), but if it is too much don't worry about it, I like it as is too. You may be interested to know that I have created Category:Underground mines and Category:Surface mines, long missing categories.

One more thing, can the state item be variable (state or province) or changed to State/Province? --kelapstick (talk) 17:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Wow, am I ever thinking slowly today, maybe city/settlement should be nearest city, for places that are not located in a town? Ekati Diamond Mine comes to mind, it is usually refered to in disance from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.--kelapstick (talk) 20:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

That state and territory and province was what I was thinking, if a mine operates as both surface and underground I woudl enter it in both, that is what I have been doing.--kelapstick (talk) 00:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I would clasify it as both underground and surface, since it was both. You are probably right with the UG mine by country/region, maybe once we see how big the category gets, right now it is 34 pages which is manageable, but I can see it getting much larger, I would wait until there are about 150-200 pages. --kelapstick (talk) 03:10, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

This and this may interest you, I enlisted a guy who knows a little about maps and locater dots to take a look at adding a map to the infobox, he seems to be onto something.--kelapstick (talk) 19:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Nice, he is going to move it up below the image, and remove the framing that it does with the map, but there shouldn't be much of a change to it. I like it.--kelapstick (talk) 00:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Tasmania

Is not off the planet - the Australian map is a bit of a mistake I would suggest - most geographically challenged readers could track back - in WP:AGF Henty Gold Mine needs a better closer tighter map than that surely SatuSuro 09:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Ignore above - I have seen you have done that for the other gold mines you have edited - I dont agree - but I will not revert - youre pandering to the geographically challenged - I still think a Tasmania state map would be a better choice :) - cheers SatuSuro 09:07, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh hell me and my big mouth - I dont have one to hand so the australian one is probably a good idea - as for the warner brother cartoon issue - some other time - maybe we can convince you to come to a Perth:Meetup and we can hava drink or three over whether tassie exists :) SatuSuro 09:15, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure Tassie does exist!? :) It may even have a city or two. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 10:34, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Good to see you've been to Tasmania. It's bigger than you think.. or is it? Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 10:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I went there once in mid-summer. It was 13 degrees andf very wet. Orderinchaos 07:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Hadnt followed this thread closely enough - I used to live in Queenstown a very long time ago - when i first got there it rained for 10 days in a row without stopping - i was there last november and I got hailed on when I was in queenstown - phew it is good to get that off my chest - now back to reality :( SatuSuro 07:57, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

That even makes Tassie's weather sound bad. I Love the East Coast, especially Bay of Fires and Freycinet. Went there on the weekend, so might upload some images. :) Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 09:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

FC 04 Inglostadt

I can't find any discussion regarding this move you just carried out, can you point me in the right direction for it? Nothing on the talk page. To my knowledge, the clubs name is FC Ingolstadt 04 and its website says as much. I strongly advocate the article be moved back to its proper name! EA210269 (talk) 04:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Since when does there need to be discussion before a move? The club's name is Fußball-Club 2004 Ingolstadt e.V. How can that be abbreviated to FC Ingolstadt 04? The 2004 is before Ingolstadt in the club's name. What is there to discuss? -- Grant.Alpaugh 04:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Have you had a look at the clubs own website? If not, come along. When you open it, it tells you in the top right-hand corner when and where its next game is, in the current case it says: F.C. Hansa Rostock vs. FC Ingolstadt 04.

The go across to the bottom left, where the 2nd Bundesliga table sits, and on 15th place there sits FC Ingolstadt 04, not FC 04 Ingolstadt. I think, we should stick with what the club thinks its name is and return to FC Ingolstadt 04. EA210269 (talk) 04:30, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I think we should stick with what the club's actual name is. -- Grant.Alpaugh 04:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I fully agree, FC Ingolstadt 04. I went through a fair bit of the website and not once is it called FC 04 Ingolstadt, even in the history section its FCI 04. It really can't be any clearer. Where did you get FC 04 Ingolstadt from, if I may ask? EA210269 (talk) 04:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

The article infobox says the club's name is "Fußball-Club 2004 Ingolstadt e.V." If from what you see on the website, that is incorrect, then move the page back and revert my changes, but correct the infobox to list the 2004 at the end. -- Grant.Alpaugh 04:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hang on mate, the articles infobox is certainly not a reliable source of information and we can't just move pages on the pretext of that. What if somebody wrote FC Sauerkraut in there , would we move the article to its new name then? And since it was your mistake moving it, its your job undoing it, I reckon. Don't get upset, but thats the way I see it. EA210269 (talk) 04:48, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm worried about the article being internally consistent. I made it so. You corrected me. If you have reason to believe that the full name of the club is otherwise, then change it. Otherwise the change I made was correct. I'm not upset, I just think that there are way too many cases of articles that are all over the place. I won't be moving the article back, or reverting my changes in the article, but I won't revert you if you do so. Have a good one. -- Grant.Alpaugh 04:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't just have reason to believe FCI 04 is correct, the website of the club says so about 30 to 40 times. The only source that calls it FC 2004 Ingolstadt is the abseits guide, I great website but with no garantie to be right and certainly not more reliable that the clubs side. What you are saying is, that you are happy knowingly to leave a page name incorrect. Have you even looked at the club site? You claim internally consistentcy but, as a matter of fact, we now have an article FC 04 Ingolstadt and a category Category:FC Ingolstadt 04. How inconsistent is that? EA210269 (talk) 05:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

If you think I was wrong, then change it. If you think you know better, then as an editor you have the ability to correct what you percieve to be my mistake. Go for it. It's fun. -- Grant.Alpaugh 05:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry mate, your mistake, your fix, not my job. I'm heading to the beach now, its far to nice a day here in Perth to spent on the computer and its my last day off before going back to work. Have fun and slow down a bit on your page moves, a little bit of discussion with other editors might save a lot of grieve! See yer later, EA210269 (talk) 05:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

So, when you see vandalism, do you revert it, or do you track the vandal down and torture them until they revert themselves? I'm leaving the article the way it is, as I think it is correct. Bye. Have fun at the beach. -- Grant.Alpaugh 05:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I've fixed up the little mess you created at FC Ingolstadt 04, send the flowers to my home addresse! By the wording of your last message I assume you would like to be treated like a vandal in the future and not like a fellow editor, not my favorite approach torwards somebody who has been on wikipedia longer then me. Anyway, the beach was great! EA210269 (talk) 08:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't expect to be treated like a vandal. I expect you to do what you're here to do. I was BOLD, you should have reverted, and then we should have discussed. Since I had no interest in a discussion, your reversion would have stood, and we both would have had the hour we spent arguing back. Just because I've been here longer than you doesn't mean you can't revert me. You know what you're doing, so feel free to revert me if you think I made a mistake. No hard feelings, nothing personal. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the beach, but I have to get to school. See you later. -- Grant.Alpaugh 15:09, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Mount Keith, Western Australia

Should this be at Mount Keith Mine or Mount Keith (mine)? Mount Keith is in California. Is it a mine or a region with a mine in it? I am not sure, figured you might have some insight.--kelapstick (talk) 15:23, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

And I think you were right in the first place about the category underground mines and surface mines by country, if we don't start sorting them like that right off the bat it is going to be a nightmare to resort, I am going to start the categories for Canada the United States and Australia (maybe Africa too) since that seems to be where the most articles about mines are.

Actually I see it listed in some of the references as the Mount Keith Mine, I am going to move it. Also you can see I did create Category:Surface mines in Australia and Category:Underground mines in Australia.--kelapstick (talk) 16:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Pitomnik airfield

Why do you consider my changes in this article as vandalism? First of all, correct spelling is Питомник, not ПИТОМНИК (see, e.g. the map from the article). This airfield was named after a near-lying settlement of the same name Питомник (Pitomnik), which was named after a plant nursery that grew orchard trees (Russian: Питомник плодовых деревьев, pitomnik plodovykh derev'yev).--92.39.175.52 (talk) 22:58, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Hate to butt in to a conversation that looks like it has already worked itself out, but we are having a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mining about putting the category in a redirect (in this case Mount Lyell copper mine) which would list the mine in the category but not have the category included in the company article. This would promote expansion (right now it looks like we don't need an article about the mine because we already have one, which we do not). Nothing has been decided yet but Springhill Mine is an example of what I am talking about.--kelapstick (talk) 14:13, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

For me nder no common sense does Mount Lyell copper mine make any sense - it was a large lease with at least 8 separate underground and above ground ore bodies all worked at different stages and with very specific names (see the Mount Lyell company article which I put the operations in) Mount Lyell copper mine is to my mind a furphy as last tuesday was st patricks day. I have been tying to get off for the last 2 hours - if need be will follow this up SatuSuro 14:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Axis order of battle at Stalingrad

When I removed the WP Croatia tag from the talk page, I explained in the edit summary that the "link to Croatia is tenuous", and that's what everything boils down to. It is tenuous. IIRC, even Battle of Stalingrad was at one time categorized as Category:Battles involving Croatia, but this was removed because Croatian forces were entirely under German command. Be as it may, in the article in question, a single line of text - a mention of the 369th Reinforced Infantry Regiment - is the entire link to Croatia. Now, the objective of WP Croatia is "to improve the coverage of articles related to Croatia on Wikipedia" - but what's there to improve that is Croatia-related in this article? It doesn't make sense to me any more than putting a WP Croatia tag on ER just because there was Goran Visnjic in it.

It is not my intention to whitewash history; if that was my intention, I would not have added the WP Croatia tag to 369th Reinforced Infantry Regiment just minutes after removing it from the Stalingrad order of battle article. Neither I nor WP Croatia can change history - whether we wanted to or not - but we can direct our limited resources toward articles that are fundamentally Croatia-related.

I really hope you find this explanation satisfactory. Regards, GregorB (talk) 14:35, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I meant "tenuous" as in "thin", not as in "doubtful". There's certainly no doubt about the regiment's involvement, which is in fact already described in some detail in its separate article. Same could apply to Romanian forces, but in this issue I'm going to defer to judgment of WP Romania. GregorB (talk) 15:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: German football templates

The display error was very likely caused by a non-implementation of {{Football box start}} and {{Football box end}} on the target site. If I have read the discussion on the main project discussion page correctly, all current football boxes will eventually be fully converted, but the process will be applied gradually, from current width over some intermediary width to full size. The reason for this way of doing it is that most of the fb boxes have not been converted yet. So in order to avoid display errors, box sizes will have to stay the same.

Sorry if I might sound a little unclear above, but my brain is not fully awake yet. ^^ If there are any more issues on any articles, just contact me. --Soccer-holic (talk) 10:10, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

AEG

No problems, I've found a few problems with the de:wikipedia articles myself - though I still like to use them as a basis for article creation - if only as notes - especially as the writers have an 'in country' perspective that I don't have - they're usually 90% correct though I have found mistakes when it comes to referencing the information.

I will check and reference the chronology in the coming days. On this article I don't expect to find any mistakes - I have found that more popularist articles tend to have the greater number of mistakes - AEG is a relatively dry subject so shouldn't be subject to vague "point of view" edits.

Hi. Mm I do like silver but I thought it made the infobox look a little bland. I choose a copper color is this OK? I thought it was the closest thing to actual mining Copper (color)? If you disagree perhaps we could propose some color choices in the talk page of the infobox? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Very glad you started that infobox though! Thats one less thing I have to attend to. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes indeed it was very much needed, especially if we are to provide a decent coverage of the subject. I've started a number of mining articles by country myself and know how much is missing. OK lets propose some possible choices in the talk page. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 10:02, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey amigo. Problem fixed. I've now rstored the slate grey and white. Have a look at Jwaneng diamond mine. Look OK? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:31, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

A henchman of mine fixed the block background. If he didn't yes suddenly the elvator he is in would lose its floor and he would be sent down the plastic tunnel into the piranha/shark tank. I sorted the grey and white. OK? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:45, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Kreisliga Pfalz

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kreisliga Pfalz, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Kreisliga Württemberg. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Re: German football championship 1933

Hi EA210269!

Firstly, thanks for your comments about the DFB-Pokal articles. It's always nice when somebody recognizes your work. Actually I have to admit that I copied lots of the stuff from other articles and adapted it to my needs. While I guess this is common practice I think I have learned enough (especially when doing all those cup articles), that I could do this stuff myself today. If I had the time and zest to actually rework those articles I would do a few things different, but nevermind.

Regarding the German football championship 1933 I think the article looks very good. There are really just a few minor things I can tell you:

• Scores use ndashes ("–") as seperators (not "-"). Generally the format for scores should be "x–y", with no spaces in between.
• Are the flags in the infobox really necessary? It's an all-German competition, isn't it? I know that there might be a few foreign clubs considering themselves to be ethnically German, but still I think they are redundant.
• If you use "aet" you should link it. I know it is tedious and appears to be somewhat superfluos, but people have asked me what aet is supposed to mean...
• Do you really want to link every player and the referee? I know that I did it in the cup articles, but I'm not sure that it was a good idea. Will there ever be an article about that referee? Probably not. Just make up your mind and stick with it, I guess both solutions are fine.
• Is it really a good idea to have seperate "sources" and "references"? As far as I know the references are supposed to be your sources.
• The introduction to the final is a bit clumsy.
• Don't forget to rank the article on quality and importance scale when it is done.

I cannot think of any other useful thing I could tell you right now. If you think I might be able to help you with anything, please don't hesistate to ask. Regards, OdinFK (talk) 07:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Regarding: "I don't rank quality or importance of my own artilces because it wouldn't be an unbiased assessment."

Your choice and perfectly okay. I don't think it is problematic though. Most of the time I rate my own articles. Why do I do it? It's just a snap judgment to have the article categorized. Thus it is easier to get an overview over the project. I would not (and cannot) award my own article a GA-class or something, but if you honestly think your article is C-class and someone else thinks it is Start-class, well, there is not really any harm done. Regarding importance: The criteria are quite objective. For example seasonal articles like the ones we are discussing are always of low importance. Still I don't want to push you or anything, just give you a different opinion on the matter. OdinFK (talk) 09:03, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of AYR

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article AYR, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Tagged for months with notability concerns, still lacks reliable 3rd party references

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

FC Metz - SpVgg Metz

Quite a complex question, I would say yes and no, I hope you will understand my explanations. SpVgg Metz was founded in 1905, changed its name to SV Metz in 1912 after merging with another club from Metz (Métis Metz). When Metz came back to France, it was founded Cercle Athlétique Messin, with lots of players from SV Metz. This club took the name FC Metz in 1932. There are some discussions about the foundation of the club: some said 1932, some 1919, some 1912. Officially, the club was founded in 1932 (professionalism and adoption of the current name). I think because of the wars between France and Germany, French tend to hide this German past, but a continuation can be seen between the German and the French club. I hope this will help you.Cheers.--Latouffedisco (talk) 08:16, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

funny indeed, but i don't think they will both go up, but not on the same day. Did you see the bacon challenge? We colaborated and got 10+ bacon articles nominated at the same time, but alas they have some "rule" aginst themes and try to keep the hooks varied. Although one is in the US and one in Australia. kelapstick (talk) 04:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The 2010 challenge is set to go on National Pig Day or March 1. I had proposed the idea to the Bacon Cabal (myself and three others) as a lark, and ChildofMidnight ran with it, the details of 2009 are at User:ChildofMidnight/Baconchallenge2009. It was quite fun and saw the addition of bacon martini, Mitch Morgan (bourbon and bacon), Maple bacon donut, Turkey bacon, Seduced by Bacon among others. As I had said they frown upon theme DYKs for any event and there was even talk of it offending vegetarians/those who don't eat pork...what is the world coming to...Well as of right now there is no action on the DYK race...Maybe if you had a picture of one of the Gold Cops in uniform it might push you over the edge! Cheers.--kelapstick (talk) 15:16, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Those are pretty bad odds, considering your location v. the Loch Ness Monster's (unless (s)he winters in Australia)...If I were a betting man I would not take them. You could try stealing some gold...that might make them appear pretty quickly, then just snap a picture before the haul you off to the klink...Just tell them it was for Wikipedia, I am sure they will understand. If your wife can get a picture of the building I think that would be a great addition, also a fair use image of their logo could go in the infobox, but I have been having trouble finding one. Full agreement on the bacon issue...--kelapstick (talk) 15:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Well it looks like...No action at DYK yet...maybe we aren't as interesting as we think we are. --kelapstick (talk) 22:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words! Ok, I deleted Munich's Olympic Stadium. I didn't realize it still hosted sporting events. I would have no problem if a table of soon to be closed stadiums were added.

Well done for that - the GSDS acronym and the usage of the local Kalgoorlie slang names for it and the police involved are not related to the GSDU or 'unit' - its a johnny come lately name that one. Pity you have used only online sources - the paper/book based sources have some amazing stuff - specially the royal commission and the issues surrounding Kavanagh and the appearance of the claims that started the royal commission and the squad in the first place - any ways keep the good work up!

There are about 3 or four books in the public library system with reasonable refs to gold stealing I think...

I am overseas and off wiki for over close to 5 months - but - I once considered doing an honours degree/thesis on the subject and have a large amount of paper about it - unfortunately I think it is unlikely that I will uncover it before I go - if I do I am prepared to lend it to you (about 3 boxes) - otherwise if I cannot find it - maybe a coffee or two if I am back on wiki sometime in January 2010 :) SatuSuro 00:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

German locator maps

Hi, I've recently made a proposal to convert to regional maps or at least feature both regional and national maps.See Template talk:Infobox German location at the bottom. The changes will have to be implemented before you can get it to work. Another reason why we should stick to using standard settlemenrs infoboxes!! Your response at the template talk page would be welcome though. Hopefully Kirill can make the changes whe he has time. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:48, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Try Template:Location map Germany Bavaria. You can find them in Category:Germany location map templates Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Ideally we need both maps to assist people who are not familiar with German geography (most of us). If we can use a regional map which has a small national indicator at the side then I think we should us it. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 09:57, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome amigo!! Yeah I agree, I'll make a note to switch to the G versions. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 10:02, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
