DDR Awards
That's fantastic that you are adding the pictures of those awards! I really want to complete translating the articles for the rest of them; there are still a lot to do. Finishing the biographies, that's a long term project however. :) Tfine80 06:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Volksmarine Admirals
Hi Ehrentitle, I have received your request and will see what I can do. I tried to fix Hans-Joachim Dönitz, so please have a look whether it meets your wishes. In general, there is a problem of translating the different functions Volksmarine people served in. These functions have very different names in comparison to how we name things in the West (were I am from). Also the main source for these admirals, the Froh/Wenzke book, contains a lot of abbreviations hard to understand for someone who has not worked in that system. Just one point for you: Flottille always translates to flotilla not to fleet.

I will have a look to the other articles whenever possible. I had some days off so that I could do a lot of work in the German WP but this time is nearly over. In the next weeks I will only have little opportunity WP activities.

But, I would also like to ask you for a favour. As you may have noticed I have written a lot about naval activities in Germany in the time after 1945. All of these activities were under Allied control, be it American, British or Soviet. I think that some of these matters, especially if under British or US supervision, could be interesting for the English WP. Most of these articles are in the following German categories: Could you consider to translate the one or other artcle of which you think it could be interesting? Thank you and good luck, --KuK (talk) 09:21, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Kategorie:Deutscher Seeverband 1945-1956
 * Kategorie:Ausländische Streitkräfte in Deutschland
 * Hi Ehrentitle, if you are interested you may want to have a look on my new German article Volkspolizei See, the successor organisation of the Seepolizei. Greetings, --KuK (talk) 16:33, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Hello, Ehrentitle. :) I'm sorry for the complication here - since copyright is a legal matter, we do have to take certain precautions. It's just not possible for us to verify which came first in simultaneous postings like this. :/ Since you are the owner of the website, though, this should be pretty easy to resolve. :) These situations are usually handled in one of two ways: you can make the connection clear on the website itself or you can send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org from an address listed at http://www.qmfound.com/mail.htm just verifying that you are the owner of the website and the author of the content, which was placed first on Wikipedia. It's probably easiest if you place it on the website itself, but I understand if that may not be your preference. It'll just help if the bots identify similarity in the content again. However, if you are willing to send an email from that address, I'd be happy to craft a notice for your user page that you could point to in the event that this happens again.


 * Again, I do apologize for the complication here and will help you if I can. If you respond to me here, please add User:Moonriddengirl somewhere in your note, as it will help make sure I don't overlook it. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:32, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Pershing Rifles
I appreciate your information on the various chapters of Pershing Rifles, however I'm concerned that your comments in the talk page show a strong Conflict of Interest and that a view on Ownership of the article which may not match up with Wikipedia Policy.

CSIB vs SSI-FWTS
Greetings,

I thought the CSIB was just a metal replica of the cloth SSI-FWTS, and the metal or cloth versions were matched up with different uniforms. Ie the SSI-FWTS on the ACU & the Green ASU, with the CSIB on the Blue & White ASU's? Is there more difference than that?

If they are different then the Further Information sectional-hatnote I put on the section of the SSI article should be changed to a "see also" or "not to be confused with" hatnote at the top of the article, and a "see also" or "not to be confused with" hatnote should be placed on the CSIB article.

In either event, the CSIB article's usage of the SSI-FWTS should be clarified (such as with a link and/or an appropriate addition of the word "similar" or such)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Rodney D. Fogg. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:50, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Revert on Myron F. Diduryk
Your recent revert on Myron F. Diduryk does not make any sense. When Myron F. Diduryk was born, it was part of Poland. It does not matter when it became part of Ukraine if on his birth date it was Poland. It is wrong to indicate that Myron F. Diduryk was born in Ukraine.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Ehrentitle. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. ''I found a forum post where someone by the same username said that they co-wrote a book (that's currently up for AfD) with another person. This poses a strong COI and absolutely must be disclosed, especially as this can be seen as an attempt to use Wikipedia to promote yourself and your book - even if this was not your intention.

Orphaned non-free image File:Desert book.jpeg
 Thanks for uploading File:Desert book.jpeg. 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) 18:40, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Karl-Marx-Order1.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Karl-Marx-Order1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
