Hi, you have edited Metro Walk and this article is currently under a contentious debate on a possible merger or deletion, your opinion on the matter and content might be useful in resolving the issues and reaching consensus, perhaps you would then like to do so at your convenience. Thank you.LuciferWildCat (talk) 00:06, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
I recently nominated Swedish heraldry for WP:FAC, and we need knowledgeable editors to comment on the article. Since you have been a contributor to that article, I hope you will take some time to look it over and leave your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Swedish heraldry/archive1. Thank you for your time and your contributions! Wilhelm Meis (Quatsch!) 14:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis[2][3], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.
I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.
Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)
To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=40523806 (HTTPS).
Best Regards, --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 11:37, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal. As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study.
Hi. When you recently edited Meninges, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Occipital protuberance (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 named meridians are proper nouns and like "Mountains" in Rocky Mountains and Pole in South Pole is capitalized, Meridian in Paris Meridian should be kept capitalized. I started a talk at Talk:Meridian (geography)#Dubious page moves. HTML2011 (talk) 21:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm running 10.5.8, and this version of DVD Capture works fine for me so far. By now, there may be better apps to do the job, but it was free, and it seems to work. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 12:23, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Considering the geographic area the Baltic languages are connected to (and unfortunately the trouble it tends to breed on here) and that the new user has about 5 edits Count du Monét (talk · contribs), yet throws around WP:OR, WP:SYN, WP:UNDUE, WP:NPOV and other terms like nothing, is it possible this user is a sock? I figured I would ask you what you thought since you have interacted with them and have a much longer history on the article (Indo-European languages) than I do. Heiro 07:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tamfang,
of course you are correct, patterns in nature are universal and if taken in the widest sense, are of every type, found at all scales and would be detectable by every sense, human or artificial. Astronomers detect patterns in microwaves and infer structures that existed near the start of the universe. All this is granted, you are correct.
However... that poses a mighty problem for a mere article. If patterns cover every topic, every scientific law, every regularity of mathematics and natural philosophy, then they will fill a million books, or at least all of some millions of Wikipedia articles.
... Therefore, I hope you will grant me the minimal and reasonable request, that we attach, nay, reattach, a single criterion to limit the vast scope of this subject: we are writing in this modest article only about visible patterns. Just those are already a large array of phenomena, and the article can merely hint at them and at the literature that covers them; and of course, you are further correct in believing that the visual patterns themselves are merely the surface coverings, as it were, of deeper regularities in nature that often cause the visual effects that the article describes.
Please understand, therefore, that I do not disagree with your view - no-one familiar with the subject reasonably could do so - that patterns are more than visual. But unfortunately they are by the same token far, far more than visual: far too large indeed for a whole nest of Wikipedia articles.
Therefore I repeat my request: please may we have back the necessary constraint on the article, to patterns that are seen. The rest are of immense importance, and are covered, as best as may be, in all the other articles in Wikipedia. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Anton, if you're up for a challenge, there's one simplex honeycomb article in need of 45 permutations: 8-simplex_honeycomb#Related polytopes and honeycombs. I think I got the 31 symmetric ones done. Tom Ruen (talk) 04:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mario Rabinowitz is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mario Rabinowitz until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Srleffler (talk) 02:28, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
Category:Earldoms in the Peerage of Ireland and Category:Extinct earldoms in the Peerage of Ireland and their equivalents are normally used for peerages articles.

Tamfang, can you help with this? __Qexigator (who came to the article 'House of FitzJames' via Eugénie de Montijo and a line of previous articles) sees nothing in its edit history to explain the omission of Kingdom of Scotland (which is represented in the second quarter of the armorial) from the template .

Hi Tamfang, I'm working on a new royals/heraldry/houses/flags &c project User:Stephen2nd/Disestablishments of WWI, and could do with some of your expertise. It needs a new Wikitable for the Austrian/Russian/Ottoman sections, as they do not have individual heads and houses, like the German Empire sample. I propose a top "kindom/state" section, with three boxes for arms, map, flag. With two tables side by side, due to the size/length of these empires. It needs an appropriate title, and especially lead-descriptions of each Empire. Also all the sections filling in. Do you think it will fit into one article, or should it be split into each empire, or German/Austrian as (WWI or 1918)-European and Russia/Ottoman as (WWI or 1918)-non-European? If you are interested edit in or out whatever you think relevant, and I'll see you on its Talk:page whenever I can contribute more. Ta SteveStephen2nd (talk) 14:59, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Get where you're coming from at Shovel ready (and I certainly won't stand in the way of a holy mission) but the resulting intro wasn't really accurate. It seems to redraft the para as though the term is commonly (more commonly than reality) used to describe projects that meet that criteria. It's most definitely a political catch-phrase or neologism which is used by politicians and media but not many others, and only in fairly specific circumstances. Is there a way we could redraft it to get the proper context while still complying with your holy mission? (Love where Holy Mission links to btw!)

For all your edits to Poland–Russia border. Legolover26 (talk) 15:58, 20 September 2012 (UTC) |
Hi Tamfang. This is going to sound like needless nit-picking, for which I apologise in advance, but a couple of your recent responses at the Helpdesk have been a little... jaded, perhaps, is the right word? I'm thinking of edits like this, this and this. New editors come to the helpdesk precisely because they aren't sure about how Wikipedia works; dismissing them with "*sigh* Use the talkpage" as though they ought to know better isn't terribly... helpful. I realise that you probably didn't intend to sound patronising or flippant, but like many more experienced editors, you've probably answered these questions a thousand times and have gotten tired of trotting out the rote responses - the important thing is to remember that each individual newbie has only asked the question once, and doesn't realise that there's an obvious answer.

Why? Sej negovorš Slovensko, do you speek Slovene? it seems much more likely that Prezrenje got its name because, being on a hill, it looks over the valley Prezreti meens overlook, if you were right it would be just Zrenje = The Look yes? Why am i debating this with foreign ppl?! What you are right and everybody here is wrong, we are just wrong yes?

Hi Tamfang, I have a problem with creating an info-box on the “rank and noble styles” of the emperors, kings, princes, grand dukes and dukes &c of the German monarchy. I would like to have the German translations with each title, mediatized nobility refs, with a (1st) image section for “crowns,” and ending with a notes section for such explanations. The problems are creating the sections for the “princes” titles. Also, fully covering all the necessary topics relevant and compatible with the List of German monarchs in 1918. I am also compiling text to accompany this section; obviously this depends on the finished info-box. I am storing these references in Sandbox User:Stephen2nd/Prussian Empire. I hope to add about 30 pages of images, trees &c to this (Empire) article, as a template for other 1918 Empires, re our earlier discussions. Hope you are having a nice time of year.
