Gernot Erler

edit

Hi Greywin, As per the article above, Bundestag homepage could considered primary source as it is the webpage about the biographies of its elected members. Independent reliable source would be third party source - see here WP:RS - A newspaper source in any language indicates Erler of such position would do. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 21:34, 23 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thank you for the your message. This is a misunderstanding of the structure of the Bundestag. It is not an "organisation" which advertises for its "employees". Bundestag MPs are independent representatives of their voters. And the Bundestag structure itself is therefore independent of the MPs. In addition, it is an official source and the best available. Newspaper sources can only be worse. Above that, there is nothing unsourced in the article right now. Please rethink the use of the template.--Greywin (talk) 21:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited SPD party member vote on the 2018 coalition agreement of Germany, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FDP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Proposed deletion of 2018 Hamburg stabbing attack

edit

Hello, Greywin. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, 2018 Hamburg stabbing attack, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Natureium (talk) 18:52, 13 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Just one personal question if I'm allowed: Do you think this is an extraordinary crime? Or is this normal and we should get used to this? I just wonder what might have been the motivation for such a nomination.--Greywin (talk) 19:37, 13 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I don't see anything extraordinary about this crime. Sadly, things like this happen all the time. Natureium (talk) 02:14, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
No they don't. Even the police sees it, why don't you? And please don't pretend anything by using words like "sadly". Thank you and good bye.--Greywin (talk) 07:19, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve Hubert Aiwanger

edit

Hi, I'm Insertcleverphrasehere. Greywin, thanks for creating Hubert Aiwanger!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. It needs more references demonstrating notability. The references are currently mostly about his change of position, or reelection, not specifically about him.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

  Aggressive, POV-pushing editors often appear to aim to drive new editors off the project by flinging accusations, taking their articles to AfD, and hassling them to death on page after page.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
