==Dates==
Yes, you are right. SB is very conservative about making changes, especially to date linkage. Thanks for answering the other query. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', 15:08 [[26 October]] [[2007]] (GMT).

== Godzilla question ==

As you were one of the last few people who edited the [[Godzilla (series)|Godzilla]] article, I am hoping that you might know something about the series. Could you please go here to see [[Talk:Godzilla (series)#Godzilla film chart|my question]] on that article's talk page and give your opinion? Thanks. - [[User:Lady Aleena|LA]] @ 19:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

:Sorry. Although I have seen some of the films—and I love them—I'm far from being an expert. [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Godzilla_%28series%29&diff=188847237&oldid=187884696 My edit] was one of a large number where I changed the name of the band Blue O/Öyster Cult from "O" to "Ö" in various Wikipedia articles (which is easy with the german keyboard I'm using.) Thus, my [[Godzilla (series)]] edit is actually not much related to the monster. --[[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]] ([[User talk:Cyfal#top|talk]]) 20:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

== Nagasaki, Nagasaki ==

Hi! Please see the order of the languages on the [[Main Page]]. Japanese is 日本語/Nihongo. So it is listed after Nederlands. I know that the two-letter language abbreviations is also acceptable. But I edit per the Main Page. [[User:Oda Mari|Oda Mari]] <small>([[User talk:Oda Mari|talk]])</small> 06:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


:Excuse me/sumimasen! You are right, it is better to keep the same order of interlanguage links in [[Nagasaki, Nagasaki]] and in the Main page. But this good idea did not come to my mind when I made my edit... I updated these links because I found Nagasaki on the page [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Interlanguage_links/French&oldid=189460384#French_version_doesn.27t_link_back_to_the_English_version here on this page] so I tried to update both the [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagasaki French] and the English Wikipedia article with identical links. Therefore, I entered in both Wikipedias the interlanguage links in the same order. However, only on the [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accueil French mainpage], 日本語 is placed before the netherlands. Thank you for correcting me. I will now modify the order in [[Nagasaki, Nagasaki]] somewhat further, because I noticed, that also other interlanguage links are not in the correct order, e.g., simple english is on top in the Main Page, but currently not on top in [[Nagasaki, Nagasaki]].

== Re: Interwiki sort order ==

I'm using AWB, so if it is wrong it is a bug in the code. [[User:Bjweeks|BJ]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Bjweeks|Talk]]</sup></small> 02:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:'''Confusing''' I don't actually know why that happened when editing with AWB. I personally put them in order by the two-letter abbreviation, but AWB does not - they use some other order that I've never understood and may in fact be the order on that Meta page. Since you acknowledged that both sortings are acceptable, why did you revert? Anyway… -[[User:Koavf|Justin (koavf)]]❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯

::Yes, reverting was not necessary, but I think the other order is somewhat nicer because the languagues then are then ordered alphabetically for the reader of the page, not for the editor. (I got into this task by the [[User_talk:Cyfal#Nagasaki, Nagasaki|Nagasaki, Nagasaki]] diskussion here on my talk page, the previous contribution of Bjweeks was the answer to [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bjweeks&oldid=199227896#Interwiki_sort_order this].)

How do I undo multiple edits by one person? [[User:Joedaddy09|Joedaddy09]] ([[User talk:Joedaddy09|talk]]) 07:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

:I have installed the script [http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:TW Twinkle] for my User Cyfal, so this gives me some more "buttons" to do such things easyly.

:However, without such tools it's also possible: simply go to the revision history, then click to the date of the last unvandalised version. Then this version is displayed, then click on "edit this page" and save it without any changes.

Whilst on the topic of J G Ballard, I don't suppose you've read many others of his short stories and want to help create articles?

==Basket weavers' museum==
The first link says there is a website, but there is no link to a website. Does not show much of anything, fails as a [[WP:RS|reliable source]], fails to [[WP:V|verify]] anything. The second one says it exists, but no addreess or information , and says tours are available if you arrange by phone, Sounds like a collection in someone's home. No notability, not a verification. You are quite withing your rights to remove the PROD notice. If the prod stays off, I will probably nominate it for AFD. Thanks for searching for references; please add them to the article.

A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[Panduro Hobby]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:Chris Neville-Smith|Chris Neville-Smith]] ([[User talk:Chris Neville-Smith|talk]]) 14:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

==Translation of Inuit-Kultur from German Wikipedia==
Hey friend, in agreement with user Lidotherm I'm taking over the translation starting at "Übergang ins 21. Jahrhundert", and I'm getting close finished. I'm just telling you so we don't do double work, since I saw that you translated "Zeitgenössische Literatur" and something further down where I'm working on. Please have a look [[user:Ratzer/Projects/Project2|here]] (I started my own project page because I didn't know that Lidoderm already had one, plus my work style is slightly different, I'm not translating in a parallel column, but work myself down in the German text, replacing by English text, paragraph by paragraph). The first half Lidotherm copied into this page, from the work you and he had done. We're getting close to the end, and should be able to put up the article during this week.--[[User:Ratzer|Ratzer]] ([[User talk:Ratzer|talk]]) 06:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

:Fine! If you like, you may copy the "further down" parts I already translated at [[User:Lithoderm/Inuit_culture]] into your [[user:Ratzer/Projects/Project2|Ratzer/Projects/Project2]]. Although my English is not as good as yours, these parts may be helpful for you, especially because I already checked which links exist in the English Wikipedia and which don't (e.g. the Makivik Corporation etc.).

==Speedy deletion of [[:Panduro Hobby]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Panduro Hobby]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guideline for companies and corporations]].

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Panduro Hobby|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:Panduro Hobby|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that a copy be emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-inc-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Nuttah|Nuttah]] ([[User talk:Nuttah|talk]]) 17:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I was just wondering how you tackle someone who is unreasonbly rewriting an entire article, this is a problem I am currently experiencing, I have issue with the alteration if it, is an improvemnet I have no issue, but I think the users constant rewrites are destroying imformation which is important to the article.
What would you suggest, thought you may be someone to ask. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Redpathanderson|Redpathanderson]] ([[User talk:Redpathanderson|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Redpathanderson|contribs]]) 23:44, 19 December 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:[[User:Neutrality|Neutrality]] already made a contribution on [[Talk:Torksey Castle]] after you wrote this... I think Neutrality's rewriting is not bad, for example the introducting sentence is an improvement. I would suggest that you add the information you think is missing again, but using the latest Neutrality version as base (instead of reverting his changes.)

==Frazetta==
Hi, Cyfal, and thanks for the good faith in your comment. I wanted to let you know about my edit to [[Frank Frazetta]], and that I've left a pretty detailed rationale in my edit summary. But I also wanted to come talk to you about it. There's nothing wrong with a list of paintings, per se, but there needs to be a citation/footnote for each to [[WP:VERIFY|verify]] he made a particular painting; this might be tricky, since Wikipedia disallows commercial sales pages as references. The word "Notable" is [[WP:NPOV|POV]] without, say, a quote from an art critic or historian saying, "His most notable works are...."; you can see that the album and poster lists are just objective lists without subjective judgments. Finally, conversational phrases and first-name references violate [[WP:TONE]], and these were uncited besides.

I hope this isn't too despairing, and the good news is, I've posted a note at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics|WikiProject Comics talk page]], so, hopefully, fellow editors will come pitch in to help make this article everything it could be. I look forward to working together with you on it! With regards, -- [[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 02:04, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:My edit's main intent was to correct the section structure. I wasn't shure whether you intentionally or unintentionally deleted the paintings section, but thought it was unintentionally, therefore I restaured it. However, you are of course right, there are POV judgments in it and "notable" is also POV. Your last modification is fine, and I'm not despaired... However, I'm going to add the "Death Dealer" again, because I think that if an Wikipedia article exists, it should be added. If you don't agree, just revert this edit again, I have no problem with this. Thank you --[[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]] ([[User talk:Cyfal#top|talk]]) 02:47, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

::All good on that. In fact, it gave me a chance to polish up the [[Death Dealer]] article a bit (leaving the content intact and just adding a cite-request tag). Hope to see you 'round the Frazetta articles. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 02:57, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. ;-) Thanks alot for correcting and "cleaning" my edits in [[Melsbach]]. I have grown up in this village. With best regards; --[[User:Weneg|Weneg]] ([[User talk:Weneg|talk]]) 07:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
: You're welcome! I also looked for a translation of "Burschenverein", but there seems no such thing in English :-( Best regards --[[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]] ([[User talk:Cyfal#top|talk]]) 06:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
::Hi!^^ Greetings from Rhineland-Palatinate! The german word "Burschenverein" is actually not to translate in common ways, because it´s some kinda "typical germany-tradition". :-) If I really had to translate it, I shall spell it "tough guy´s association". It´s an village-to-village individually located and organized association, wich is planning and taking care over kermises and village festivals of various sorts. So every village has its own Burschenverein. The gender counterpart of the "tough guys" are the village-maidens. Best regards; --[[User:Weneg|Weneg]] ([[User talk:Weneg|talk]]) 17:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)By the way: Would ye mind to help me [[Engers |here]]? A downtown where I live today. ;-)--[[User:Weneg|Weneg]] ([[User talk:Weneg|talk]]) 18:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Hello! Yes, I know what "Burschenverein" is, I'm also from Germany. Ok, I modified [[Engers]] somewhat. Some tips for editing wikipedia: You may use the German wikipedia as translation tool for the English one. By this, I found for example the translation of [[de:Sugambrer]] as [[Sicambri]]. When editing Engers, I was not shure what place [[Reil]] was meant - of course not the physician you found by clicking on this link. I guess it was [[Reil, Germany]] at the mosella. Best regards, it was a pleasure to help you --[[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]] ([[User talk:Cyfal#top|talk]]) 15:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
::::Oh my god, my English must be lousy... *lol* :-D About the village "Reil". Ummm... once there was an tiny hicktown called "Reil" just 4km away from Engers. THIS is the Reil that´s originally meant. ;-) Today it doesn´t exist anymore - I don´t know the correct reason. I´ve once heard that the hicktown vanished wile the inmunicipation-reforms around 1970. But I can visit the Engers city hall at weekend, if ye like. Maybe I´ll find some informations there. Naw, were my workouts ok? Best regards; --[[User:Weneg|Weneg]] ([[User talk:Weneg|talk]]) 15:42, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::No problem with the lousy English, because I think it's better to find good informations about Engers in lousy English than don't find any informations at all in Wikipedia! I've removed the link at the wrong "Reil" now from the article. I leave it up to you whether you want to add informations for Reil you find in the city hall, but I guess this is too much work for you.

== Arborn ==

In answer to your question, Arborn is a constituent community of [[Greifenstein]].[[User:Kelisi|Kelisi]] ([[User talk:Kelisi|talk]]) 16:21, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

:Thank you – but in fact, I knew that already. My edit summary "what is Arborn?"[http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Westerwald&action=historysubmit&diff=315369235&oldid=315365444] was a bit short, what I really wanted to say is "I did my edit to avoid the question 'what is Arborn?' that might arouse for a reader of the article's former version".
