User talk:Dqfn13

I do not work on commission, but I will listen to requests for articles about coats of arms (preferably Dutch, Belgian and from the UK) or rijksmonuments. I can write new or improve articles. If you want a quick answer: ask on my Dutch page

Dqfn13 is currently frustrated and may be unresponsive to certain discussions.

RE: Map of the Netherlands

What do you mean? I assume you are talking about the one I added to Netherlands yesterday.

If so, do you mean you don't see the special municipalities, because if that is the case you may need to force a refresh (in Firefox you can do this by viewing the image in its own page, holding shift and clicking the refresh button; after that you may need to refresh the NL page as well. Other browsers are similar).

If it's that you can't see that it is different from the version that was already there (.png version), that is because it is largely the same visually. However, for maps etc, vectors are preferred by Wikipedia (when using relatively simple line-type maps anyway; not so much for topographical maps and the like), since they scale better (when shrunk or expanded they produce smoother lines etc). From a user point of view, the difference is fairly insignificant, but loading time etc shouldn't be effected and it should produce a slightly sharper image.

I was indeed talking about the map you've added to Netherlands. Well, problem is I don't see any dark green dots near Venezuela... but if it works for other people it's fine to me. Thanks for the response though. Dqfn13 (talk) 09:52, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dqfn13, I have opened the discussion on Talk:Netherlands and invite you to discuss ethnicity. I have temporarily restored the version that is in conformation with the source for consistency (but that does not mean I am in favour of any arrangement, I let the value of the sources count...)...

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LvdMoosdijk

To delete a user page, you would have to go to WP:MFD rather than WP:AFD. But first, to avoid being "bitey," please try contacting the editor and pointing out Wikipedia:User pages and asking him to make whatever change you feel is needed. Some bio information, and description of background and interests is highly appropriate on a user page, if not a lengthy resumé. Regards. Edison (talk) 16:08, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Edison, this user hasn't been active since 2006 and on the Dutch wiki not since 2009. So deletion of this resumé isn't that strange. This userpage doesn't show any interests of the user, just only where this user went to school, did during his/her educations, nothing more. I'm not trying to be bitey, I'm just blunt (I'm Dutch, so being blunt is in my blood). I'll do what you've pointed out to me... but I don't think it'll make any difference.

Armenia in JESC 2012

According to WP:UNSOURCED, any material lacking a reliable source that directly supports it may be removed, and the acticle used as reference is not clear about Armenia's participation. So unfortuately, until a better reference is found, Armenia may not be added. Cheers. – Kosm1 fent 12:05, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but the source does say they will participate... maybe it isn't very obvious. We'll see in the future, there shourly will come a better source. Dqfn13 (talk) 12:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The source says "we will plunge again into blah blah". Whether they mean we, as Armenia, or we, as majestic plural is unclear. Maybe they did intend to confirm their participation; however, their wording did not make that clear. As you said, there should be a better article coming soon, possibly even mentioning a deadline for the pre-selection. Cheers. – Kosm1 fent 12:16, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Coat of arms of Zaanstad

The article Coat of arms of Zaanstad has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable sources that can verify. The only reference provided does not appear to be a reliable source. The municipality's official website has not mention or display of these coat of arms.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for May 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Artist in his studio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Museum of Fine Arts (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability

Please do not remove citations in articles. Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability about the English Wikipedia policy. – Editør (talk) 21:11, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editor, this has been talked about on the Dutch article talk page, you don't need to verify who's the director is or where the museum is located. Why do the same as you did on the Dutch article? Dqfn13 (talk) 22:52, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The English Wikipedia policy is much stricter, please read it and stop removing citations immediately. – Editør (talk) 06:42, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Attribute all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. Means: if it MIGHT be challenged give a source. Nobody is going to challenge the location of a museum, nobody will challenge who the director is. But I'll leave it, I won't start a war over this, you've won and lost at the same time.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Coat of arms of Enkhuizen, from its old location at User:Dqfn13/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Coat of arms of Enkhuizen (March 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Add one or more additional references to independent reliable sources.

This draft requires heavy copy-editing. If you have difficulty doing this because English is your second language, ask for help at WP:WikiProject Netherlands.

You might note that the coat of arms is unusual in having a single supporter rather than the usual two.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Coat of arms of Enkhuizen and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Where can I ask an admin to hide a version of a page?

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Dear Admins,

On the Dutch spoken Wikipedia we have a request page for where people can ask us to make a version invisible. This can only be done in case of privacy, harassment and in case of copyvio. Today I found this version on enwiki. I think this version should be made invisible, as the person is not famous at all. Where can I make such a request in the future?

Thanks,

Dqfn13 (talk) 12:01, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dqfn13:, I am not an administrator but I believe I can answer your question. Here on English Wikipedia the procedure is known as Revision deletion (a.k.a. "RevDel"). There is no RevDel noticeboard to avoid publicizing material that should not be even visible (see Streisand effect for reasons why). You can request RevDel from any one of these administrators. I have to say, however, I see no reason why the linked edit should be removed from the edit history. I suggest you review the list of reasons at the first link I left before making a RevDel request. I hope this helps. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 13:34, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Dqfn13: I am an administrator here on the English Wikipedia, and am unfamiliar with the person mentioned in that edit. At first glance, I don't see that this issue meets the list of criteria I'm allowed to remove content from (WP:REVDEL lays out our policy.) However, I know that sometimes there is more than meets the eye to a request such as this, if you'd like to send additional information privately, you can select "email this user" from the page [[1]]. --joe decker ^talk 16:34, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both Eggishorn and joe decker for the answers. At nlwiki we may be a bit more strickt with privacy of non-notable people. We will delete revisions with names of people who have put their own names on lists, articles, etc. If the revision here doesn't meet the criterea I won't ask for deletion. At least I now know where I can find a list of criterea and where to find the right people. Dqfn13 (talk) 18:37, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish cemetery, Hoorn

Kijk eens: jouw foto! Bedankt--het is hoog tijd dat History of the Jews in Hoorn wat invulling krijgt. Zeg, ken jij toevallig een C. Aay die in 2010 als "veldtechnicus" voor de Hoornse afdeling voor archeologie werkte? (Zie het colofon.) Drmies (talk) 22:37, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hoi Drmies, wat leuk! Drie van mijn foto's op het artikel. Ik heb een vermoeden wie het is; vermoedelijk een vrijwilliger en daar heb ik minder contact mee dan met de vaste medewerkers, met wie ik af en toe vergaderingen heb. Ik zal proberen om binnenkort foto's te maken van het nieuwe monument bij de begraafplaats. Dqfn13 (talk) 15:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, geweldig! Ik ben nog wat bezig geweest en het is inmiddels meer een "History of" geworden. Ik hoop genoeg materiaal binnen te krijgen om "History of" wat completer te maken, zodat ik in "Cemetery" meer bij het onderwerp kan blijven. (Raar om in het Nederlands te tiepen: ik maak de ene tikfout na de andere.) Ik heb Oud Hoorn geemaild voor een van hun artikelen maar nog niks gehoord--als jij materiaal hebt, deel het ajb! En over die vrijwilliger met die rare achternaam--da's waarschijnlijk familie van me. ;) Het allerbeste, en veel plezier als je gaat schaatsen, Drmies (talk) 15:30, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Schaatsen kan helaas niet meer en ik heb ook al jaren niet meer op de ijzers gestaan, ik weet niet eens of ik het nog kan. Oud Hoorn heeft al hun oude versies van het kwartaalblad (tijdschrift) op hun site staan. Voor mijn werk heb ik met Oud Hoorn wel een documentatiesysteem aangelegd. Over de Joodse begraafplaats kan je dus hier heel erg veel informatie vinden. Informatie komt veelal uit officiële stukken, maar ook uit krantenartikelen. Informatie over de huidige begraafplaats vind je in het eerste dossier met het adres Berkhouterweg 26. Ik denk zo dat ik het Nederlandstalige artikel ook wel weer bij mag gaan werken... Dqfn13 (talk) 15:38, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Al hun oude versies? Ik keek hier, en zoek natuurlijk dat artikel van Saaltink. Dat dossier is erg interessant--zo zie je maar dat niet alles op het internet correct is: er zijn twee liggende stenen. Groeten, Drmies (talk) 16:14, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alle oude tijdschriften staan hierzo opgesomd. Als het goed is zijn ze ook allemaal volledig in te zien. De paginanummering loopt per jaar. Dqfn13 (talk) 19:24, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
