References for article Dutch phonology
Hi. From what I can see, it appears that you were the creator / initial editor of this article, Dutch phonology. Is it entirely your own work, or did you use any sources / references? If so, please could you let me know what the sources are. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Link 41 (talk • contribs) 16:44, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Donnar, ik zie dat je media oplaadt die je vindt op blogs. Onder meer stukken van een kaart van Gent uit 1534 die in die vorm niet te zien zijn in het museum.

Status of Folding@home article
Hey there Donar,

I just wanted to let you know that the Folding@home article, which you started, is nearing Good Article status. I believe I've just about finished adding content to it, and am currently focusing on refining the text. You started this article back in late 2003, with the text "Folding@home (Folding at home) is a distributed computing project for home computers." It's gone through many revisions since then, and over the last several months I've been heavily editing and improving it. It now contains extensive information on what the project is, why it is important, what it has accomplished, and many other relevant aspects. Take a look! If you feel so inclined, suggestions or edits would be appreciated. Best, Jessemv (talk) 20:55, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)
Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:


 * Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasit &#124; c 17:14, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank You for Wikipedia Freeware Picture
Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Plitvice_lakes.JPG). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Orphaned non-free media (File:Femme aux Bras Croisés, Picasso.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Femme aux Bras Croisés, Picasso.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of International Network of Liberal Women


A tag has been placed on International Network of Liberal Women 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Gbawden (talk) 14:19, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Isotopes of argon
Hi Donarreiskoffer, some years ago, you wrote in Isotopes of argon that:
 * "37Ar is created from the decay of 40Ca as a result of subsurface nuclear explosions."

I think this is not true. 37Ar is created by the nuclmear reaction 40Ca(n,alpha)37Ar which is not a spallation reaction. Could you confirm? 132.165.76.2 (talk) 08:57, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Wijziging titel lemma "Oud Postkantoor" (Gent)
Dag Donnar,

ik ben het Lemma "Oud Postkantoor" (Gent) aan het herschrijven met een uitgebreide geschiedenis en een beschrijving van het gebouw en zijn decoratie. De titel van het lemma "Oud Postkantoor" (Gent) is foutief en zou moeten veranderd worden in "Oud Postgebouw" (Gent). Hoe kan ik dit doen?

Dank voor je hulp!

Jan — Preceding unsigned comment added by JAN52 (talk • contribs) 09:02, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Bedankt voor het supersnelle antwoord Donnar!

Wat betreft de terminologie postkantoor vs postgebouw: alle publicaties inclusief de officiële inventaris van het Onroerend Erfgoed Vlaanderen spreken over het "postgebouw". De reden van het onderscheid is ook dat slechts een aantal jaren na de opening van het gebouw 2 postkantoren toegankelijk voor het publiek werden geopend ter gelegenheid van de wereldtentoonstelling in 1913. Ik hoop dat deze motivatie voldoet.
