Archiving
Hi, when you archive, don't delete it, edit this and simply add the next month link and paste it into a new page.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:29, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you.  Best   Charles01 (talk) 16:52, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome to contribute a few articles to the bottom of WP:Atdrag this month. Currently have 162 articles!♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:59, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Noted.  Thanks.    I love Wales when I get to go there (though I don't understand why you get a half hour of traffic congestion followed by a large financial penalty if you're unimaginative enough to try and get in using the M4 motorway from London) but I never lived there and don't know the language.   Never too old to learn?   Maybe, but somehow with several other countries and languages I find I have a whole lot of context which for the Welsh stuff I don't ... there seem to be a lot of wiki contributors better qualified than I am for these Welsh topics, many of whom can likely do a better and quicker job than I.   Also I seem to have quite a lot on this month so won't be breaking any records in terms of wiki-hours contributed.   Then again, the muse may grab me by the proverbials for one or two more Welsh entries this month, next month.   Never say never.   Best   Charles01 (talk) 18:47, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Charles. I'll put you down as a participant, that's for people who can't commit to the contest and are just happy to add articles independently when they can. Cheers for Fanny Winifred Edwards BTW! There is the possibility of doing this contest/editathon BTW for a country on the continent like France or Germany btw, or somehting which involves a "Six Nations" contest. Something which would mutually benefit the Intertranswiki project. Thanks for keeping it running, I wish I had more time to commit to everything!♦ Dr. Blofeld  07:40, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

If you add anymore Welsh articles, which i hope you will!, can you add them directly to the bottom of WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon main list with a #, cheers. This includes basic expansions of anything in WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Core articles, the main focus of this. If we could have a Welsh round for Intertranswiki this month this would be great!♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:41, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Do you want one Edit tab, or two? It's your choice
The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.

You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at VisualEditor/Feedback.

 * "Listeining to..." might be putting it strongly in my case, but ... yes, it was on and that is where I heard of it.  I guess we need to wait a couple of hours till we can source it to anything, tho'.   Unless there's a way to source stuff to a radio interview.   Hmmmm   Regards Charles01 (talk) 08:54, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Capping and linking
Hi, please note that on en.WP we don't cap initials or link common terms or dates unless it's really necessary. Tony  (talk)  07:31, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Olga Benário Prestes
Re this: What is the source of the claim that she survived? And how did she die then? Staszek Lem (talk) 19:25, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you are right.  I have no idea where I got that from nor why I entered it without a source:  maybe I got called away suddenly or the 'phone went.   Anyhow, it looks batty.  Please correct it.   If you can find a source for the bald statement that she was gassed, please add that.   It may be that some of the sources already there spell it out, but most of them are not "online" or go to "dead" links so I can't check that from here.   Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:UK Ten Pence Coin Obverse 2015 differing designs.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:UK Ten Pence Coin Obverse 2015 differing designs.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:26, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Revolution 1989
It's available at my library ... I'll try to get my hands on it. Surprisingly, it's not available in eBook form--not on Kindle, not on Nook, not on Google Books--even though it was published in 2009-10.HangingCurveSwing for the fence 23:36, 26 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Noted.  Encouraging.   I've been surprised how hard it has been to find suitable sources on this.   I suppose within Germany people know as much as they feel they needed to know, and have no wish to be reminded in wikipedia.   But in many ways East Germany provides a nice and in some respects clear template for how to do one party dictatorship with a quasi-democratic face, and as our own "western democracies" ... um ... "evolve" ......   Still, that way digression lies.


 * Thank you "im Voraus" for anything you may find you're able to construct. Success Charles01 (talk) 07:13, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
