Re: Kurt Gödel, and list of german mathematicians

edit

Thanks for your enquiry: I had noted that you had not made many edits to Wikipedia yet and thought I should perhaps explain my revert - I am sorry that laziness won out in this case.

My reasons for not wanting Gödel simply described as Austrian is that the matter has been a matter of controversy on the talk pages. At the time of Gödel's birth, the term 'Austria' was ambiguous, meaning either the Austrian Empire, or the whole of Austro-Hungary; using the term still is yet more unclear because first, current Austria is less that the Austrian Empire, significantly losing Gödel's birthplace to Czechia, and second, Gödel held four different nationalities over his lifetime. There's no problem with how the facts are handled in the body of the article, but the lead should be economical and clear.

With respect to lists, ideally each list should have its own determinate criterion for inclusion. It's not a real problem for people to belong to no lists or more than one list: if we want unambiguous Wikimedia-wide answers to the question of what the Patria of a person is, the place to hash this out is on Wikidata. — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:31, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Non-diffusing categories

edit

When an article is in a non-diffusing subcategory of another category, it should not be removed from the parent category. See WP:ALLINCLUDED. I have reverted your bad category edits to Ina Koch. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:34, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

My edit in "Don't shoot yourself in the foot"

edit

Dear User:EEng, i came to the opinion piece "Wikipedia:Don't shoot yourself in the foot" from reading a discussion about users' behaviour on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. In the talks, WP:BOOMERANG was linked several times and mentioned even more. The edits in question were on Islamic subjects. I am not sure whether all muslim editors understand that the quotation is not as a whole from the bible. Yours, --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 17:27, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Behind the scenes, here in project space, we credit our fellow editors with some common sense. Most will be clued in by the shift in register, but if a few aren't -- so what? EEng 01:24, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Lyme Regis Branch Line

edit

Hi! I reverted two edits you made to this article. There was nothing wrong with your edits. On the contrary they correctly fixed a couple of wiki-syntax errors. The problem was that the edit before yours had replaced the entire article with text from a completely different article. (Chertsey branch line) That, of course, destroyed the Lyme Regis branch line article. In order to restore that article, I had to undo the last three edits. Alas two of them were yours.

ok --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 07:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hello OrewaTel, did you see this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chertsey_branch_line&diff=1133327172&oldid=1128888114 ? How do you think about it? --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 15:17, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
That is the edit that AfterBrunel was making when he accidentality pasted into Lyme Regis branch line. It is, as you expect from this editor, an accurate description. There are a couple of points that I must check. I think the line to Richmond described in History/Surrounding Railways is very interesting. If it is the line that I think it is then it should have (at least) a section on another page. I'll add a link. OrewaTel (talk) 21:45, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
I am gathering the background to write further articles; probably 1) LSWR Windsor Lines (Waterloo - Richmond - Windsor emphasising history); 2) Kensington and Richmond line of the LSWR; via Hammersmith, Turnham Green and Gunnersbury; and 3) Staines - Reading, including the narrow gauge connection through Reading station; and 4) Ascot to Aldershot. Because the background source books are very complex, this work is taking a considerable time. Himbeerbläuling: bei dieser Arbeit geht es immer leider langsam vor.

Ja! Das Schreiben in einer anderen Sprache ist immer schwierig. Da merkst du, dass du nicht fließend bist. Danke - Ihr Englisch ist ausgezeichnet. (Yes! Writing in a second language is always difficult. That's when you discover you aren't actually fluent. Thank you - Your English is excellent) OrewaTel (talk) 21:32, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Euer beider Deutsch ist auch sehr gut. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 10:05, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Elizabeth Miller

edit

I saw you suggested Elizabeth Miller for an article at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Medicine. I have started one at Elizabeth Miller (epidemiologist) and wondered if you might be interested to contribute to it. Mgp28 (talk) 23:49, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the good article. I have been of-wikipedia for roundabout one year, and just now i am back here. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 13:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
