Rail Transport in France

Are you positive there aren't other articles on French railways with your information included within them? Also, please capitalize your article titles. --Theunicyclegirl 20:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

My start was articles like Rail transport in the United Kingdom and the template "Rail Transport in Europe", pointing to 14 articles of that type, but not on France. So I added one on this major country, because I looked for statistical figures on the size of the various networks. Currently there are such articles on the following countries: Austria · Belgium · Denmark · Finland · France · Germany · Ireland · Italy · Netherlands · Norway · Romania · Russia · Sweden · Switzerland · Ukraine · United Kingdom.

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Fotopic.net. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. I understand that you were trying to provide information but we cannot report rumors, even qualifying them as unsourced. Wikipedia has to stick to the facts as reported by reliable third party sources. See also what Wikipedia is not. Mfield (talk) 01:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Changes to Eurostar#New_destinations_and_competition

By all means revert my edit if you think it changed the sense of what you wrote. It was not necessary to leave a note on my Talk page.

While the standard of your English is clearly high (and certainly much better than my German), it's not quite as good as that of a native English speaker. Most of my edit was therefore attempting to improve the readability of your contribution, as well as correct errors with a couple of the links. I also deleted a clause in the middle of your paragraph which I thought was not readily comprehensible to most people, and which I felt was anyway too detailed for the article. If you decide to put this back in, it would be helpful if you could re-word it to make clearer what you meant. --JCG33 (talk) 21:02, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Yoani Sanchez

You reverted with out explanation. Please discuss your reversion on the discussion page. Thanks (olive (talk) 16:33, 19 November 2009 (UTC))

This is an extremely unhelpful edit, I suggest you refactor it and discuss it rationally in the section immediately above it. Dreadstar ☥ 19:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Per WP:COI, I would like to know if you have any affiliations with or interest in Cronon AG or its subsidaries? Thanks! Dreadstar ☥ 21:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

No, I have no relationship whatsoever with Cronon AG. Cronon is for big corporations, ad I am not a big corporation. Also I don't know if Cronon AG has any subsidiaries. What I know is that Cronon AG is itself a subsidiary of Strato AG. Strato sells to the mass market (where I could get web space), and Cronon to corporations. This is like Chevrolet and Cadillac. --L.Willms (talk) 21:52, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

São Tomé and Príncipe

You recently added:

• A Cuban medical team of seven doctors, nurses and other health workers is working on the main island, with occasionally visits to Principe.

• São Tomé also hosts a broadcasting station of the US-American International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) for the Voice of America.

Please provide your sources for this statements, If you would like help researching it, I am happy to help. Just let me know. _{Senator2029 | talk | contribs} 10:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

• As to the IBB facility on São Tomé: I saw it with my own eyes. I have several photos on which the antennas do appear; I have to revise the photos though if there is one which shows the entry with the sign identifying the site as belonging to the International Broadcasting Bureau.
• As to the Cuban medical team: the Cuban Ambassador to Angola and São Tomé (Pedro Ross Leal) told me so, and I also met in person the medical workers themselves.

I happend to be in São Tomé on the occasion of the "tomada de posse" of Manuel Pinto da Costa.

Speedy deletion nomination of Transporte Colectivo Urbano de Luanda

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Transporte Colectivo Urbano de Luanda requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, 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 criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 07:51, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Moxico Province

please be careful with edits when posting them, such as recent change you made to Moxico Province . It required cleanup. --RichardMills65 (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

What's the problem there? What "cleanup" was required according to your view? Please be specific and not so evasive in your comments. --L.Willms (talk) 23:18, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

you could go back and look at the history, but i guess I will do it for you. Please try not to assume that others are out to insult you. In another, more recent edit, Uíge Province here's what you put :

• Offical website

Here's what it was changed to:

• Official website

A simple typographic error! So what? Good that you spotted that problemito, and thanks for correcting that minor error of mine, but there is no need to make a big fuss about, right? Cheers, L.Willms (talk) 23:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

not making a big fuss; just noticed that you made the mistake on 2 consecutive edits and wanted to let you know the correct spelling before you copy/pasted that to any more articles. Thanks - --RichardMills65 (talk) 00:17, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

It's good that you are so considerate, but by simply saying that I made a typo which you corrected would have avoided spending so much time on this minor problem. You could have used that time better by telling me something about you, where you are from for example. A better use of our time! Cheers, and bye bye! L.Willms (talk) 00:15, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

SNCF Geodis

I should say this early on - - if you are going to add detail financial information to articles please provide references.

Additionally I don't want to criticise what are fundamentally good additions, but please write in english: 'In the perspective of industrial logic' is not that. Also please make use of links eg Établissement public à caractère industriel et commercial..Oranjblud (talk) 23:51, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Also I didn't find some of the companies you added to the lead in the body of the article: Naviland Cargo, Modalohr Express, Novatrans, Districhrono, Ecorail, Froidcombi, Rouch Intermodal et Sefergie in the body of the article - have you got information on when they became part of the organisation? Note- as a general rule the 'lead section' (abstract) should contain a summary of key points in the article, and not contain information not covered in the body of the text. eg see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section.Oranjblud (talk) 00:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

..Sorry - I didn't realise english was a second language for you, please don't take my comments personally. I see that fr:Transport et Logistique Partenaires has been written - I will see if it is worth adding an article in english which may simplify things. As for the companies mentioned above - they appear to be small or splinter organisations, and may not credit significant mention - I will take a closer look and see if the article needs updating.Oranjblud (talk) 00:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

You might have noted that the french article fr:Transport et Logistique Partenaires had been written by meself. On the rest please see my comment on Talk:SNCF Geodis. --L.Willms (talk) 06:13, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about my error describing Geodis as an EPIC - I have corrected that. I have added a reference noting that 'francewagons' has been merged into 'ermewa'. I'm not aware of any other ways in which the article is out of date, but haven't fully checked the current situation.Oranjblud (talk) 21:19, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Opel-Adam 3trims 279642.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Opel-Adam 3trims 279642.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:50, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hanns Eisler, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ernst Busch and Bread and Wine (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.

Image Eislergrave.jpg

So the date was wrong. I see the image has now been deleted. Between 2000 and 2006 I took photos of literally 1000s of graves and certainly I can't now remember exactdates. Maybe 2006 was when I uploaded it - what exactly is the beef here?--Smerus (talk) 14:37, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
