Motto of the day
[edit]Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help – and soon – your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it – no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Pytanie
[edit]Cześć Daniel! Oglądałem sobie w piątek fragment niemieckich Milionerów. Włączyłem RTL około 20:40 i akurat grał jakiś facet, pamiętam ze 6 albo 7 pytanie miał o Madonnie i wziął publiczność, a dziesiąte pytanie miał o koronach (walutach). I wtedy brat mi przełączył. Czy możesz mi powiedzieć ile ten facet wygrał? Pozdr. Kubek15T CS 20:15, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
1 million euro gewonnen! Czy będzie polski milion?
[edit]Oglądałeś wczoraj Prominenten-Special? Ja włączyłem na końcu i akurat trafiłem na pytanie za milion. I wygrał! A ja słyszałem pogłoski, że w sobotę w polskich Milionerach facet dojdzie do pytania za milion i wygra! Tak więc – OGLĄDAMY! Kubek15 (Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX) 09:39, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Nationality of the Fauxharmonic
[edit]Your categorizations of the Fauxharmonic Orchestra raise some pretty interesting philosophical questions. To start, what is the nationality of the musicians? My first instinct would have been to claim them as Americans, but I can see how a case could be made for Austria. Willi Gers07 (talk) 18:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Reverting Kamil & Szymon
[edit]I reverted Kamil Glik and Szymon Matuszek's entries in the Madrid C outgoing transactions because both players were using their first names as their playing names. In Spain, players can use their birth names, a nickname or any combination of the two as their playing name. Both players were listed in the two local sports dailies, Real Madrid's website and the Madrid football federation by their first names. Besides, their info will be deleted when the new the season starts in next August. Raul17 (talk) 22:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

naming of Raions
[edit]hi there,
thank you for starting all these new Raions articles on Ukraine. Please be aware that in keeping with Wikipedia's English language policy, the Ukrainian adjective "-skyi" is not used. So it should be "Zhydachiv Raion" and not "Zhydachivskyi Raion", named after the capital city. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions. sincerely Gryffindor (talk) 09:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Polish politicians
[edit]Hi! Thanks for help. If you help format any of them this would be great, at present I am just transferring missing articles from Polish wikipedia. I intend to do the same with other countries, if want to do something for Ukraine too let me know, I haven't looked into Ukrianian wiki yet to see what is going on. P.S your contributions to Ukrainian villages are greatly appreciated! Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:10, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! Your english is good! If you could help by editing the lists like this and making sure the bullet points are moved back 4 spaces across the margin and then wiki link the names into red by placing a [[ ]] around it this would be great. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll generate the rest of the main party lists then. Regards Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! Nice work. They will all be started in due course, however at present I have a tremendous amount of cleanup/error fixing to do so it might be delayed a while... If you are interested in a project which caters for translation such articles from other wikipedias, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/TRANSWIKI .

German articles
[edit]Hi. I much appreciate your assitance. This is Dr. Blofeld BTW but I've started a new account as my goal now is to transfer articles from other wikipedias and fill out stubs. Given that I am not fluent in German (or Polish) your help is greatly appreciated to proof read them. Himalayan 10:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Your edit
[edit]to Hamburg Parliament [1].
Hi there, if you like dates first: yes, probably better for 'list of terms'. But may I ask why you delete the ndash? MOS on longer periods and Wikipedia:Manual of Style#En dashes use the 1900–1978 version? I want to change the 'leaders list' into a table sometimes soon and will change the dates back to ndash. Oh and why delete red wikilinks? Those have a purpose and will be re-inserted. Hope you don't mind. Greetings and happy editing. Sebastian scha. (talk) 17:56, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Town twinning
[edit]Hi DK4, I notice that you are doing a fair number of edits to do with Twin towns and Sister cities.
I also have been recently. I have split the main article List of twin towns and sister cities in Europe into individual country lists.
You may be interested in List of twin towns and sister cities in Poland.
You may also be interested in the discussion on naming 'twin towns & sister cities' on the town twinning talk page. As you edit in this area, maybe you could add your opinion to the discussion.

[edit]Hi Daniel and thanks for adding this picture to the Olympic Stadium (Słubice) article. I only created it a couple of days ago. It's a wonderful stadium, I don't know if you've ever been there. Really breathtaking! Anyway, I just wanted to point out that you have a typo on your userpage. "here is my 1th contribution" should be "here is my 1st contribution". I hope you don't mind me pointing that out. Have a nice weekend! Jared Preston (talk) 14:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

The article List of Polish United Workers' Party members has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- The list doesn't include many notable members and include many unnotable ones, no sources
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Xx236 (talk) 09:53, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
The list was taken from the category on Polish wikipedia. All of the people have articles on Polish wikipedia and I'd hesitare to guess that this nominator is confusing missing content with notability. Dr. Blofeld White cat 09:59, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
I started a few earlier like Norbert Aleksiewicz and they are obviously notable. In fact the majority seme to be have been members of the sejm at one point so are very notable and meet guidelines. In fact there are indded many missing from this list too. I think this nominator saw a lot of red links and assumed they weren't notable, which is silly as we are missing asimilar huge amount of articles on German, Ukrainian and Italian politicians too. Wikipedia will be improved by coverage of these people not hiding their existence. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:37, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
My deepest condolensces to your country. I was shocked to see the news this morning. Such a tragedy. SO many top politicians too. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:35, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

For our freedom and yours Welcome to our first issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper). Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; in this year alone about 40 threads have been started on our discussion page, and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:
This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools! With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself?

Reverted your additions of redundant parent categories
[edit]Greetings, DK4. I have reverted several recent edits of yours in order to remove redundant parent categories that you have added. "American swimmers" is the parent category of "Olympic swimmers of the United States"; proper categorization per Wikipedia policy is never to include both a parent cat and a subordinate cat in the same article. I believe that I caught all of your additions of "American swimmers" to the members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic swim team, but you may want to check your edits to Olympic swimmers of other nationalities. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:03, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Editing policy and alleged vandalism
[edit]Hi DK4, You recently reverted one of my posts about Tomasz Majewski alleging "vandalism". You should be aware that vandalism is defined in Wikipedia as "the addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia". I admit I didn't add a reference for the information I added (in fact, there is no way of referencing information which simply consists of the inclusion of new categories at the foot of the Wikipedia page) – there was certainly no attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. My action should not have been described as "vandalism". I'd appreciate your comments. Barmispain (talk) 06:18, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

The project has since ceased activity but is currently being given a kick start due to its importance and the coordination needed to translate content from other wikipedias. If you're still active and are still interested please visit the bottom of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Intertranswiki and add a {{tick}} by your name within the next week so the project can do a recount and update.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:00, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
