Dri3s
Welcome to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth! You seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics! You may wish to review the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, as well as the avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages. The Wikipedia directory is also quite useful. In addition, you might want to add yourself to the new user log; if you made any edits before getting an account, you may wish to assign those to your username.
By the way, an important tip: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments.
Finally, here are some open tasks:
You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)
Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.
Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.
Hope to see you around the Wiki! And if you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact me on my talk page!Hi Dri3s,
Brahms wrote three violin sonatas and two for cello; there have been arrangements going both ways, but the third of the violin sonatas (the one in D minor, the one played by Yo-Yo Ma) "lies" quite well for the cello). Here is a recording of it by Yo-Yo Ma: [1]. As far as I can tell, this is what Condoleeza and Yo-Yo actually played. Hope this helps! Antandrus (talk) 19:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- You're welcome! I have to admit I've never heard the version for cello, but that CD looks interesting. I'm just guessing that C.R. already knew the piano part from having played it at one time with a violinist (since that sonata is so often performed), so it was easier for her to work up than one of the cello sonatas (which both have fiercely hard piano parts ... ) Antandrus (talk) 19:59, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Greetings again! To answer your last question, yes, I have a really bad one, but I don't want to give away my real identity here (doing anti-vandalism work has gotten me a number of death threats, for example). I could e-mail it to you if you want. Looks like you have chosen an excellent field of study: I do GIS for a living, and there's lots of interesting jobs available in geog/urban planning. Also, it's good to have another classical music editor here--there aren't many of us--so welcome to Wikipedia! Antandrus (talk) 15:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Could you translate something for me?
editHi, I've got a favor to ask. There is a article up for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stef de Bont). I found something on the net which may be relevant to the discussion, but it's in Dutch, which I can't read. Could you take a look at [2] and let us know if it asserts any significance to Stef de Bont as a person, which would justify a wikipedia article about him? If you're willing to do this, please leave your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stef de Bont. Thanks. --RoySmith 00:11, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Queenelisabethlogo.gif
edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Queenelisabethlogo.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 02:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
VWN en WCN
editBeste allemaal Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.
Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 13:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Herman Van Rompuy.ogg
editThanks for uploading File:Herman Van Rompuy.ogg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi Dries, thanks for helping with the pronunciation. I copied your ogg-file to Commons, so we can use it worldwide. I know Austin from Günter Kunert's Der andere Planet. Ansichten von Amerika. A great book about a writer from the GDR visting the first time the USA. Greetings from Berlin --Kolja21 (talk) 02:01, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
