Hi Kusma, The page redirecting Moshe Koussevitzy to: Mosze Kusewicki has been deleted by you. Actually, this famous cantor spells his name almost always, on his records and anywhere else, e.g. Google, as Moshe Koussevitzky. Mosze Kusewicki in turn is a very rare alternative Polish spelling form. Since your deletion, whoever looks for Moshe Koussevitzky under the universally known form, will not find him, nor will (s)he be redirected properly. This counterproductive deletion should be reconsidered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.157.180.36 (talk) 12:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I have been trying hard to take Jagdgeschwader 1 (World War II) from B class to A class. This article is pertaining to a Luftwaffe geschwader (wing) in WWII. Today I discovered this article was not part of German military history task force, I did add the tag to make it part of. However I am having a really hard time trying to find an administrator that has knowledge on the topic. Would you be able to help ?
Another problem is regarding unit designations & names. I did contact Military History project Administrators. But there are different opinions on the way Unit names should be incorporated. Some opine that English equivalents should be used with German words in bracket. For example, Squadron (Staffeln). Other contend that since this is a German article, you need to put English equivalent in bracket only at first occasion and use German word alone subsequently. I fall in the second group. But the first group raises the concern that this makes the article full of jargon. Any help is truly appreciated. German Military History project provides only equivalent words for some words but does not lay down any guideline. Besides that list does not have any Luftwaffe terms. Thanks Perseus71 (talk) 16:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
moin Kusma, question: can you review the mathematical aspects of a latent class analysis-article or is it impossible?, best regards --Jan eissfeldt (talk) 13:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello, maybe this is difficult to answer for you as the story is quite old, but maybe you have a quick answer or a clear opinion. The Thomas & Berghof introductory article to A voyage round the world is mentioned twice in the list of the references. Maybe this should be only once? Another point is that the first one mentions "Introduction" while the second one "Preface" as the title of the article. Maybe this should be unified. The version of the book on books.google.com has "Preface" rather than "Introduction", but the bibliography note for that mentions as the year of publication 2000 while the first reference to Thomas&Berghof 1999. I tend to unify that to what's there in books.google.com. What's your opinion? alx-pl d 09:35, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
A nice book, indeed. I realised now, thet the google.books version is somehow misleading as far as the table of contents is concerned. Thank you a lot with that. :-) alx-pl d
Ughm, I have another question concerning Forster. Maybe you can make a peek to one of the Forster's books you have and see where did the information come from on that Forsters discovered new species in theirs Russian expedition. I've seen the pointer to Introduction to: George Forster: A voyage round the world, ed. by Nicholas Thomas and Oliver Berghof, University of Hawai'i Press, Honolulu 2000. There are some people who complain that there is no mention on which species were discovered during the journey. I need at least the source of the remark in Thomas' and Berghof's book. Bests, alx-pl d 17:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Why did you delete this page back in June 2007? I am trying to find out about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.48.20 (talk) 12:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Because the Signpost hasn't been sent in a while, to save space, I've condensed all seven issues that were not sent into this archive. Only the three issues from November are below.

I'm leading the 'rail transport in Germany' project and have been busy adding existing articles to the project and giving them an initial assessment. En passant I have also changed a number of titles to English spelling. This seems to be in line with general Wiki policy about minimising the use of foreign words and also making articles accessible to non-experts (i.e. non German speakers). It is also the proposed convention for the project. That was my logic, but please understand that personally I am a great fan of Germany and am also very happy with "ß", but the articles are for the general reader not for us specialists.
I have done a little research and discovered that a sister project, WikiProject Germany, proposes using the German spelling as their convention. However, 2 of my 3 Berlin guides, as well as the well-respected Michelin guide to Germany, turn "ß" to "ss" every time for clarity. Existing Wiki articles vary in their approach. So the jury's out and I won't make any more "ß" moves until a fuller debate has been had. BTW I'm not into "lame wars"! ;) Gruß. Bermicourt (talk) 16:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps the repeated abuse should be reported to Big Pipe? What do you think? Enigma message 18:40, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I know it was awhile ago, but when you deleted this, how much was in the article? Just curious.--Rockfang (talk) 22:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
You have proposed Madge Wildfire for deletion and deleted it immediately. Why the haste? I contest deletion. Biscuittin (talk) 10:34, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
I humbly suggest to reconsider your vote again. The expansion of the "proof" page was an attempt to game the system. This expansion belongs to a general page Computation of the permanent of a matrix. Laudak (talk) 18:11, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kusma, I wondered if you could help me with Portal:Munich. I found it at MfD (actually I stumbled across it on KingJeff's talkpage which I still watch) and think it might be worth saving. I started updating to make it usable and presentable and wondered if you could give me some pointers with your experience of the Germany portal. BTW did Portal:Germany ever make "featured"?

Thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which failed with 90/38/3; whether you supported, opposed or remained neutral.
Special thanks go out to Moreschi, Dougweller and Frank for nominating me, and I will try to take everyone's comments on board. Thanks again for your participation. I am currently concentrating my efforts on the Wikification WikiProject. It's fun! Please visit the project and wikify a few articles to help clear the backlog. If you can recruit some more participants, then even better. Apologies if you don't like RfA thankspam, this message was delivered by a bot which can't tell whether you want it or not.

As a contributor to the discussion regarding sports team logos, I am soliciting feedback as to the latest version of that guideline. Your support/opposition/feedback would be appreciated. — BQZip01 — talk 21:41, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
There are no free logos for most sports teams. There may be free logos for many college teams, but that's not something that should affect a general sports team guideline. I gave a pro sports example at the guideline discussion. Kusma (talk) 07:11, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi
I see that one of the Plasmodium species was deleted under a G7 request. This might have been an error. I am the main if not sole author of the page and I have not requested a deletion. There was nothing violating copyright on the page. I can say this safely as I wrote most/all of it. I's sure there is a reason for this action: I would be grateful to learn it.DrMicro (talk) 16:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
For some time I have been looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Members to weed out the inactive ones. Today I started marking the admin to get an overview. Just wanted to run that by you just in case you object. So far I found a lot of flyby editors who sign up and disappear. OTOH there are a lot of editors who quietly work away in the background without showing their faces at WT:GER. Some of whom might make excellent admin material. Basically I am trying to take stock and see where we can move from where we are now. Agathoclea (talk) 10:34, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Rhode Island Red is again using Wiki to further his vendetta against Julia Havey for disagreeing with him on his Juice Plus wiki article.
someone should look into this to keep the article neutral, wouldn't you agree?
Dana Reese, assistant publicist for Julia Havey 70.250.53.34 (talk) 22:59, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
There is nothing negative, but there are issues. RRR removed calling her husband "Dr. Patrick Havey" because he said "Dr." is an ambiguous phrase. RRR doesn't think that Chiropractors deserve to be called doctors despite tens of thousands of graduates of various Chiropractic schools with "Doctor of Chiropractic" hanging on their office walls. RRR erased links to various works of Haveys. Agreed that commercial links have no place on Wiki, but to removed valid references is ridiculous and puts this editors bias further into question. Honestly, does it not seem a bit vengeful to you?or just a super coidcidence that RRR takes great interest in all things "multi-level marketing" and science related,.......and Julia Havey?

Hi Kusma, I am interested in creating a page for the Morgan J. Freeman film “Just Like the Son”, which is currently protected from being created. You were the last person to comment on the discussion page on May 15, 2007. Could you possible assist me in un-protecting this page so it can be created? Many thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2009nyc1 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Kusma,
I must find out the year of publication of the "Myrsina", the greek fairy tale written by Georgios A Megas. I read that it was published in the year of 1970, but I don't know if it's right. Do you have this information? Can you help me?

Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ |
