There's a book about beer called "Froth." Written by a guy named Mark Denny. Published in 2009. He uses your public domain picture of the two beers in his book. Happened to randomly stumble upon your page tonight after just having read the book last night. It's published by Johns Hopkins University Press. Unfortunate that a leading university puts out such a horribly inaccurate book on brewing, but I guess we all can't be perfect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.81.6.158 (talk) 05:07, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Dropping by because I suspect your name change re al-Awlaki didn't take into account, from what I can tell, that the more commonly used version of his name is with a k rather than a q. Am I correct? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:24, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, the justification for the name change was since that he was born in the United States and issued a birth certificate by the state of New Mexico, that is his legal name. The change was carried out in accordance with the discussion I found on the talk page at Talk:Anwar_al-Aulaqi#Spelling_of_Name. Actually, now that I look that up, I see someone has responded since the last time I viewed the talk page.

Yes, the Arabic version of his name can be accurately transliterated into English as Awlaki but he was not born with an Arabic name. I'm not sold on the idea of changing away from his birth name because his legal name was clearly spelled out in the Roman alphabet at his birth. The transliteration rules listed in Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Arabic don't exactly apply, as his name isn't being transliterated, here; he was born and his name was spelled Aulaqi. For what it's worth, the spelling of Abdulrahman al-Aulaqi is consistent with Abdulrahman's birth certificate, which means that as recently as 1995, his father used that spelling for something.

Anwar's father, Nasser al-Aulaqi apparently used the spelling Aulaqi when filing "Al-Aulaqi v. Panetta". I am uncertain where the line is when changing the spelling of someone's name, especially when they had a birth certificate and presumably passport with an oficial spelling, but I'm not convinced that threshold has been crossed. -Ich (talk) 10:14, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

John K, the new poster, is absolutely correct. Though this isn't intuitive, his birth name is not determinative under wp policy. See wp:commonname.--Epeefleche (talk) 16:14, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I see you have been replacing the former term with the latter. Is that something you have discussed with others, or is it just your own idea? I don't necessarily disagree with what you are doing, but I think a major, wide-ranging change like this needs to be discussed before enacting it. --John (talk) 10:21, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

This is my own initiative and I have not seen any reverts or complaints aside from back-and-forth moves on Art of the Third Reich. I have been meaning to write an essay explaining my full reasons but haven't gotten around to it yet, so I guess this will do as a start. Outside of direct quotes, book titles, etc., I consider it improper to use as a synonym for "Nazi Germany".

The term was adopted as propaganda to legitimize the Nazi Party's seizure of power. From a historical perspective, it is wrong to call the Nazi era a "third Reich": they did not create a new Reich, only seized the remains of the Weimar government, and didn't even bother to rename the country, which had been "German Reich" since Bismarck. The Nazis' historical continuity with the Kaiserreich or the Holy Roman Empire (other than sharing the territory) are debatable, so the term "third" implicitly accepts the Nazi historiography. (The Weimar Republic was referred to as the Zwischenreich - "Interim Reich", so they didn't have to count it as #3).

The term "Drittes Reich" has fallen out of favor since the 80s in German academic circles for these and other reasons. de:Drittes Reich#Begriffsverwendung seit Kriegsende 1945 discusses this further. The term has ideological baggage, and was happily used by former Nazis as a neutral-sounding alternative to the "Nazi terror" or "Hitler dictatorship". (I could also make an admittedly rather weak argument using WP:EUPHEMISM here.)

Aside from the ideological baggage, not all readers may be familiar with the term "Third Reich" but the terms "Nazi Germany", "Nazi era", or even just "Germany" are much more recognizable and emphasize the Nazi Party and government, not just an abstract "Third Reich". Many times, a section header can also be replaced with "German history 1933-1945" or similar. Given two options where one is clear and doesn't have ideological baggage, my choice is clear. Other than avoiding overusing the word "Nazi" in a sentence, I can't think of any good counterarguments in favor of the the term Third Reich. (I suspect the term is popular among authors because it sounds fancier.)

This is something of a personal project for me of my own initiative, like that guy who has been trying to rid Wikipedia of the phrase "comprised of". I can't see any good reasons why "Third Reich" should be used uncritically on Wikipedia in lieu of clearer alternatives. If you see any places where this change reduces the quality of Wikipedia, I would be happy to rework the section. Thanks for noticing my project.-Ich (talk) 11:00, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

First of all, thank you for caring about language enough to do this. Having thought about it for a few hours, I find I disagree with you though. Such issues are obviously very nuanced and it is important we do not err in either direction. I don't think this is as clear cut as you suggest. This link suggests that the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC uses Third Reich, then there is the famous William Shirer book which I have on my shelf, which uses both, Third Reich first. I think this subject should be the subject of an RFC and I request you to hold off making any more of these edits of this kind meantime. --John (talk) 16:53, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi John, I understand if you might not be totally convinced. As far as Risen and Fall... goes, Shirer's book was published in 1960, and while I definitely don't fault him for his choice of words, scholarship has progressed considerably since then: consider that the term "holocaust" as an unqualified noun only slowly came into use in the decades after the war. I'm also not trying to make "Third Reich" into a banned or even discouraged phrase on Wikipedia, but I do find the alternatives preferable. I think these changes still improve Wikipedia, even if I were to rely only on the argument of improved clarity. And, even if it's not an improvement and "Third Reich" is a truly interchangeable term, then at worst, I'm only wasting my own time.-Ich (talk) 20:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kim Ji-hyun (singer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tara (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.)

Hello: when you upload files on Commons as you did with File:Robert M. Duncan Jr.jpg, please list the website's url in the source parameter so we can easily click access the page. This allows others times, and it allows us to verify it quicker. Thanks, Corky 04:42, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: Hi Corky, thanks for the message and updating the source template. I actually didn't find his picture online (the link you added was updated after I uploaded the file); I requested it from the press contact for the US Attorney's Office for Kentucky (East) who confirmed that it was his official portrait (taken by an employee of the federal government as part of that person's official duties) qualifying it for the pd-usgov license. The same is true for John Durham (lawyer) (except from USAOCT), although both of their bio pages were updated after I received a response from the DOJ press contacts for each office. I wasn't sure about how to represent "received via email from press contact" in the description template though. Thanks again for your note; I've seen you make a lot of good edits on US Govt pages and look forward to further collaborating with you.-Ich (talk) 08:22, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation! In most cases, though it seems to take them forever(!), the Justice Department will list the pictures on the biography pages. There are a few attorneys that would need contacted because they have not put them on the website, but most do. Your email must have forced them to put it on the website so it saves them time! 😉 Aside from taking it to OTRS (which really isn't needed), the way you had it formatted was fine in my opinion, as I don't think there is another way. I look forward to editing with you as well. Corky 14:19, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Dear Ich, I want to fix these link sources so; I can publish them in the Hong Kong article:

Hong Kong was under British control in the wake of the First Opium War (1839-1842), ^[1] and later became colony 19th century. In the 20th century, the city was invaded by the Japanese during the Pacific War, but Britain recovered it after the war and remained a British colony until 1997, when it was finally returned to China.^[2][3] Hong Kong still enjoys a high independence and a political system that is different from mainland China, according to the principle of "one country, two systems" which enshrines the city's self-rule. ^[4]

Hong Kong is one of the world's leading economic centers with a booming economy based on low taxes and free trade. The city's currency the Hong Kong dollar is the eighth most traded currency in the world. ^[5][6] Due to the small size of the city and the large population, the need for an infrastructure that allows for greater population density has turned it into a economic modern center and made it the world's populist city. ^[7] which depends on public transport, ^[8] which the highest rate globally. Hong Kong also has advanced international standards, such as economic freedom, quality of life, anti-corruption, human development. ^[9][10]

Note: If you finish from that all, you can just copy paste it in my talk page. Zozr789 (talk) 08:54, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate the explanation, Ich-- I recognize that different people use different means. The markup shortcuts template at the bottom of every page (i.e., the box labeled "Insert" that allows one to instantly surround a reference with the "< ref > < /ref >" provided one option for symbols that aren't on all keyboards, such as the pound sterling sign (£) or the Spanish-language "tilda" (ñ instead of n) and "½" sign, but then would leave the "symbol" markup as the default and make it difficult to do the reference markup. Where the problem comes in with the template is that 2 1⁄2 is transformed into 21⁄2 without the space.... and "2 1/2" is the least usable of all. Ideally, both choices should be available for the Wikipedia editors. Thanks again. Mandsford 20:53, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Hallo Ich, Grüße aus Berlin nach Berlin! Danke, dass Du dich dem Volkspark am Weinberg angenommen hast. Ich habe eine grundsätzliche Frage: Wer entscheidet denn, wann und wie übersetzte oder neue Artikel von deutschen Wikipedianern in die englische Wikipedia überführt werden? Bzw. anders wie erreicht man den Status, dass es nicht mehr geprüft wird und einfach so wie in der deutschen Wikipedia online geht? Und wie geht es jetzt konkret mit dem Weinberg Artikel weiter? VG! --Neomicro (talk) 11:56, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

@Neomicro: Das entscheidest am besten du selber; wenn dir das Verfahren vertraut vorkommt, dann mach's :) . Ich mache das seit langer Zeit und bin immer de:WP:MUTIG und erstelle die Artikel direkt, ohne Drafts zu machen und bisher hat sich keiner beschwert (Beispiele siehst du auf meiner Nutzerseite). Wie ich schon auf de:Benuter:Neomicro sehe hast du dich in die dewiki schon eingearbeitet und wer das kann sollte schon problemlos in enwiki arbeiten können. (dewiki kam mir immer viel stringenter vor: de:Steven G. Bradbury war für mich sehr viel Review bis es Artikelreif war.) Ich schiebe Weinbergpark in Mainspace und damit sollte die Sache geklärt sein. Wenn Notability schon in dewiki etabliert ist, dann sollte es kein Problem sein, dies in enwiki auch zu rechtfertigen. -Ich (talk) 12:27, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Danke @Ich: Bisher war es mir nicht möglich in enwiki neue Artikel und Übersetzungen zu erstellen - immer mit der Nachricht nur bestimmte User dürfen dies. Ich werde jetzt aber einfach einmal weitermachen und schauen ob es irgendwann klappt. Sonst melde ich mich noch einmal :) Danke für die Hilfe!--Neomicro (talk) 12:33, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Zoetler-logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages. RonBot (talk) 18:03, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bellsbrewery.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:22, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

My apologies for being hard-headed. However, I was only going by what the official Japanese & English translations used. From what I've viewed thus far, most English translations used "Ranma ½" or "Ranma 1/2", and the Japanese translation of the name commonly used "らんま 1/2". Despite that, the logo does stylize it as "らんま 1/2". I only reverted it for consistency with whatever official English/Japanese translations may exist. However, if you must (in accordance with MOS:FRAC), go ahead and revert.--Loyalmoonie (talk) 02:57, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

re: this edit, it piqued my curiosity, so I followed that book. Amazon ebooks just get amazon IDs, but the dead-tree version has an actual ISBN. It can be seen on isbn.nu too.
