Hi Piet! Sorry, but the idea is not to add all competitors into the category "Olympic competitors of the Netherlands" but to add them in an appropriate subcategory. So that every competitor is ony listed in the category of his sport. But every help is very welcomed! Thank you and :) Doma-w 01:10, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I noticed on User talk:Interiot that you were experiencing the same problems with the edit counter as I was. I've located another edit counter that you may want to try. Best regards --Eustress (talk) 03:45, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi there Piet! Noticed that you are interested in athletics articles: would you consider joining WikiProject Athletics? We don't ask for much in return, it is mainly just a good place to ask questions and discuss article problems with other editors and athletics fans. Happy editing!

Hi, Piet. I noticed that you are changing the spelling of the word "meters" to "metres" in several articles about athletes. You may not be aware that "meter" is the preferred spelling of the word in American English. Because the English varies slightly from nation to nation, the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style has a policy governing which national variety of English to use in a particular article. The four elements of the test are: (1) consistency within articles, (2) strong national ties to a topic, (3) retaining the existing variety, and (4) opportunities for commonality. You've made some change contrary to the policy because they undo the existing variety and/or making the variety used within the article inconsistent. Also, when you change the spelling to "metres" in an article about a U.S. athlete, that runs contrary to the strong national ties of the topic. Please follow the national varieties of English policy in your edits. Thanks. --JamesAM (talk) 23:52, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Piet. Can you divide your own work from that of Darius Dhlomo on this article? I assume you're already aware of the wide-spread copyright violation situation. SFB 19:46, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi! Just wanted to say that the claim "Citation needed template removed because [item] is linked" is wrong. Geschichte (talk) 09:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Regarding this revert on Kenenisa Bekele: it is actually the proper way to refer to people in Ethiopian biographies. They don't actually have surnames in the way that you or I do, but rather the "Bekele" refers to the first name of Kenenisa's father (e.g. Kenenisa's children would be called "First name Kenenisa", not "First name Bekele"). The style guide on this can be found at WP:SURNAME. Hope that clears things up! I think we have a few Ethiopian athlete articles which don't follow the correct style, so they should be corrected as and when you come across them. Take care! SFB 19:49, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Silke Möller, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doping (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The move discussion is now at this page. I would have made the move on your behalf but I do not have admin tools (it's quite a lot of effort to request them, even though I would only use them for administrative, rather than social, purposes). SFB 17:04, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Please look at the edit history of this article. @Canadian Paul: cited her death (or to be more accurate, the fact she is no longer alive) in the edit summary. If you have proof this is incorrect, then please cite it in the article. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:22, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
