Welcome
Hi Gh, welcome to Wikipedia. I like the article you've written at Alfréd Hajós, it's nice to see a stub turn into a good article. -- Ams80 15:47 May 12, 2003 (UTC)

Jazz photos source?
Hi. It's good to see another wikipedian with an interest in contributing to the early jazz articles. Those are some nice photos you've added. Can you please give sources on where they're from? Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:41, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * It looks to me like you've been yoinking the photos from http://www.redhotjazz.com/ . Do you have permission from Scott Alexander, the site's webmaster, or are the images free for the taking? If we can use them, that would be great. Please clarify the status of the photos, or wikipedia may need to remove them. -- Infrogmation 17:27, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * Hi. There are no copyright information of the pictures in Scott Alexander's site, so I assume they are public domain. There are a little copyright info in http://www.redhotjazz.com/info.html, but it mainly covers the .ram files. For further info you must reach Scott Alexander.


 * Checking into the status of photos you upload to wikipedia is YOUR responsibility, and should be done before adding them to articles. See Copyrights for more info and discussion. Sorry to be hardnosed about such matters with you (there are lots of fine photos I'd like to grab copies of for here myself) but unauthorized use of copyrighted material can open wikipedia up to problems such as potential legal action. Please take such matters seriously. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 18:21, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Michael Johnson (athlete)
Hi Gh, good work on expanding the above article, but I'm interested to know why you've removed the minutes/seconds references in his world record times. I don't want to just revert, as I've done this once before -- I thought I'd check with you first to see if you had a good reason for doing this. --Lancevortex 13:24, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * I'll have a look at some other athletics articles and add the mins/secs if that seems to be the way to do it. --Lancevortex 17:47, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * It seems that Wikipedia practice (at least within the Athletics article) is to put "s" where the time is less than 1 minute, but not put any units when the record is more than 1 minute, so that's what I've done on the Michael Johnson page. --Lancevortex 10:41, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Image:Clark.jpg
I noticed you uploaded a picture of Wesley Clark, and that you tagged it as being in the public domain. I was hoping you could supply a source. Don't mean to be overly suspicious, but it could really help clear things up. Thanks. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:15, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the mistake. Yours, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 21:23, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

Lewis Stone pic
Thanks for uploading Image:Lewis Stone.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much,    – Quadell (talk) (help)   03:18, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

Image copyright
Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Otto Stern.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Edwinstearns 20:53, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Image:Hajos.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Hajos.jpg. Please leave a note on that page about where you got the image or whether you made it yourself because of copyright law. If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. --Ellmist 13:24, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Olympic athletes
Thanks for the help in expanding those stubs. Where are you getting the information (so I can put in a little more than just what I get off the official reports)? Thanks. -- Jonel | Speak 17:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * My Google searches tend not to garner much useful information for people that far back. I tend to get either WP mirrors or completely unrelated people on genealogy sites.  Is there a specific site that you use for the birth/death dates?


 * As a side note, sorry about the Hanns Braun mess. Olympic.org lists his name as "Hans" and I didn't perform anywhere near a thorough enough check before making the changes.  Think I have everything back to Hanns now.


 * What's your source for Wiesner being part of the medley relay team? The 1908 official report lists Racz and while I'm certainly prepared to believe that could be in error, I would like to have a source for any contradicting information.  Thanks! -- Jonel | Speak 15:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Excellent. Thanks for all the links (Herman's site is quite impressive!).  -- Jonel | Speak 16:07, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for providing the death date for Stanley Rowley! For future reference, may I ask where you found it? Punkmorten 11:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Joe_King_Oliver.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joe_King_Oliver.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --OrphanBot 05:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Clark.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Clark.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below).

Hey! Great work on finding the full names of Olympic athletes!

License tagging for Image:Sidney Hatch.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sidney Hatch.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 14:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Johnny Dodds.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Johnny Dodds.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 14:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Fencers
Thanks for the additions to the fencers. May I ask where you are finding the information? --Epeefleche 20:18, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks
It is really great, that you have so many missing data!! May I ask you if you have same data to the red linked rugby players from 1908? As you can see here: Rugby union at the 1920 Summer Olympics. I havn't started articles about these players, because I have nothing. Especially DoB or DoD.

Also I have no information about three British gold medalists, three French silver medalists and from the Norwegian Sigurd Holter as you can see here: Sailing at the 1920 Summer Olympics.

It would be really great if you have same data, so you/I/we can create also articles for them. Thanks in advance and :) Doma-w 14:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I gave Charles McMurtrie his place in history!


 * Maybe you have same info about Albert Michant? He was Belgiums goalkeeper in 1900 and in the Water polo at the 1908 Summer Olympics tournament. He is the only player missing from this event... Thanks and :) Doma-w 23:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Nevertheless thanks! Doma-w 15:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Surprise
Going back to Karl Dröse I thought "...a date of death?" :) Well, who can ad this? Of course! ;) Still to come more for you. Thanks! Doma-w 17:34, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Arthur Carnell
My sources report the day of birth March 21 for the sport shooter Arthur Carnell. Is it a typo or do we have two different dates? Thank you for the good teamwork! :) Doma-w 04:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your quick answer. Please can you have a look at these two pages:


 * Jack London (athlete) wikipedia reports day of birth January 31, but my sources show January 13


 * and Hilding Ekman wikipedia report his full name Hilding Viktor Ekman, but my source showns Allan Hilding Ekman. Thanks and :) Doma-w 17:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks you, I have changed London and added a footnote on Ekman. :) Doma-w 19:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Harold Barron
Hi! You have added in November 2006 :-) the date of deaths to Harold Barron. My source reports his date of deaths with March 31, 1962. More than 16 years earlier. Is it possibe for you to check this again? Thanks and :) Doma-w 21:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I do not know it better, of course not! You are right with Frederick Goodfellow. I have changed the date, I missed the line and added the date of death from Joseph Dowler. :) It is very good to know, that you check all this things! In case of Harold Barron your source looks better to me, because you can also offer the place of birth and death, which would be also very interesting to add! Do you have more place of birth/death data? Thank you and :) Doma-w 13:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hihi! :)) Very funny to read your text! It's like the same to me. Absolutely the same! I am also not professional it is still a hobby and it started also more than 20 years ago. When I was a boy, it was my dream to have a database like this! Also my sources are around, parts are in the cellar and others are still by my parents in the cellar. ;) May I ask you where are you from? I am from Austria.


 * Well, no, I think your source is once more better for William Goodsir-Cullen! Especially the second name must be James not John I have taken the date of death from . Kamper/Mallon do not report date of birth/death in my source (I am using Who's who at the Olympics, this is a little bit older, and I also do not have any other book from Mallon). Also there is written the relationship William to Ernest. I haven't known, that the were brothers.


 * In the case of Frederick Goodfellow maybe our only possibility is to have a look in a newer book of Mallon, maybe it was an error in the Who's who and it is now corrected. I will write a question on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics maybe someone have a newer source and can help us.


 * Thank you and :) Doma-w 15:57, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I know, this series is expensive. I also do not have one of them. I just wrote an e-mail to the webmaster of www.olympic-medallists.com. This is the first time I want to contact him, so I do not know how quick he will answer. But maybe this will help us with Goodsir-Cullen. :) Doma-w 18:43, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Charles Greene
Hi! A very long time ago you started this article: Charles Greene (athlete) with the year of birth 1944. My sources report 1945.

Maybe you will also have a look at this very interesting case: Evelyn Furtsch. There is only one source which reports her dob with 1914, but this is an interview with her...

Also interesting: Mildred Fizzell. Look about the spelling and see what is written here. Now it looks like, that there is no relationship to Mary Frizzel. I have written a message to this user, but it is unlikly that he will answer. The www.olympic.ca spells both names Frizzell and reports there dob with January 27, 1913 (for Mary) and January 27, 1911 (for Mildred) and shows both with the same birth place.

The webmaster of www.olympic-medallists.com answered, he will check the date for William Goodsir-Cullen. :) Doma-w 13:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I have changed Greene and added a footnote. For Mary and Mildred maybe we will wait a little bit. To Furtsch I added your research into the footnote. This was really a great work, I am impressed! Thank you! :) Doma-w 20:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

William Goodsir-Cullen
Thanks for your message, very interesting. Up to now I have no further information. The webmaster is still checking his sources. :) Doma-w 11:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Mildred F(r)izzell
Once more a really great work!! So we know now, that she was a grandmother. But the name is still a mystery. Maybe here is also a footnote necessary. Thank you and :) Doma-w 18:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to ask me any questions about my grandmother. What I don't know I will ask my mother or check in her scrapbook of newspaper clippings (as long as it hasn't fallen apart, it's pretty old)

new articles
you are on fire with your articles on Canadian Olympic football players, keep up the good work. --GOD 10:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry! You are absolutly right! Thank you for checking again! :) Doma-w 21:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Names
May I ask you, what do you think about the corrections (deletions) the user Lokyz has done on this pages?

Stasys Stonkus, Justinas Lagunavičius and Stepas Butautas.

For me the cyrillic transcribtion of all the sportsmen from the Soviet Union are importent. Doma-w 21:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, thank you. My idea to write these names in cyrillic was, that I thought, that all these sportsmen had also a "cyrillic name" with fathername at the time of the Soviet Union. When these sportsmen travelled to Helsinki or Melbourne, in which language were there passports written? Doma-w 22:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow! This is really very, very interesting! Up to now I thought, that all these sportsmen had to use a "Soviet"/Cyrillic name when they competed abroad for the Soviet Union. I thought, that the Olympic committee of the Soviet Union shows all their names in Cyrillic with fathername to give them a more "Soviet" name. I thought, that the Soviet Union did not really want to show the Estonians as Estonians? But when they were allow to use their original names, then there is absolutely no sense to write their names in cyrillic. And of course I do not want to insulte anybody. Thank you very much and :) Doma-w 14:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * :) Yes, this was my idea to write all these names also in cyrillic... So, what do you think? Shall we show these names also in cyrillic or not? Today it is clear NOT to write these names in cyrillic, but 50 years ago? If these articles started 50 years ago, we would write cyrillic names or not? Doma-w 12:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course I respect this! Thank you very much Doma-w 15:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Albert Nasse
I have found "your" rowers! :) I have one question: You gave Albert Nasse the date of birth with July 7, but my sources say July 2... Can you please check it?

For your information: the webmaster of www.olympic-medallists.com did not answer any more, but he now added the date of birth for William Goodsir-Cullen. The date of death is unchanged... Doma-w 23:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I have corrected the date of death for William Goodsir-Cullen and added the link. Is this O.K. for you?


 * Do you have same more information about Carlos Deltour and his teammate Antoine Védrenne? My sources report only a date of birth for Delfour. DatabaseOlympics reports the same date of birth for both! Maybe this is possible, but I don't think so... Thanks Doma-w 15:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Once more a rower, I have sources, which report the day of death for Thomas Loudon with January, 6?
 * I send the link to the webmaster of www.olympic-medallists.com, we will see what happens...
 * I know, that you have also uploaded many images! May I ask you if it is possible to add the image from the German wikipedia to Ernst Hoppenberg? Sorrily I have no experiences in this case... :) Thanks! Doma-w 23:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Ernst Hoppenberg.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Ernst Hoppenberg.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Ernst Hoppenberg.jpg has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file.

Thank you
Thanks a lot for the image! I think, that a user already added the right tag? The text on German wikipedia says, that the picture is part of a family picture, which was created in 1900 most likely shortly after the Olympic Games. So it is more than 100 years old and it is still in private hands. I do not really know which text I had to add and where... Sorry...

Do we want to add a footnote to Thomas Loudon? I do not know, which source is better.

The webmaster of www.olympic-medallists.com changed the date of death for William Cullen, after I sent him your link!! ;) Doma-w 22:27, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey! Once again a great work! Please see the changes I have done: Frederick Boylstein, Raymond Fee and Louis Salica. Are they OK?


 * Do you have a date of birth for Mária Berzsenyi? Sorrily she is missing in many databases, but she played in 1976 and won a bronze medal! Thanks for all! :) Doma-w 18:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the data! Yes, the pictures are not the best idea, it would be better if you can change them... :) Doma-w 20:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! I have added your links. I am sure, that I will need your help very often again! :) Doma-w 16:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Brian Lewis
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Brian Lewis, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Brian Lewis seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Brian Lewis, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Rugby players
Great to see all the new rugby players you have created! Good work again!

Here I have some questions (only to avoid typos, I know, that your sources are better than mine):
 * John O'Neil (rugby player) - my book gives his date of death with March 26, 1950
 * John Muldoon - my book gives his given name with William S., but with the some dates for birth and death
 * Caesar Mannelli - my book reports his name Manelli with only one n
 * Richard Hyland - my book gives his date of birth with July 26, 1900 and, very interesting, his name is shown as Richard Frank Hyland, but his birth name is shown as Frank William Hyland. Do you have any information about this?

Thanks in advance and kind regards :) Doma-w 18:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for checking all the data again! Very interesting! Don't you think it would be good to add the places of birth and death? I try to add them where ever I know them.


 * Can you please check this again: ? I am not sure, but doesn't it look like May 3, 1936 instead of May, 1? Kind regards Doma-w 17:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm happy, that you are here again! Thanks for checking! Kind regards :) Doma-w 14:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Wesley Coe
Hi! Can you please be so kind and have a look at the date of birth? I saw, that you have changed the date from May 8 to May 5, but my sources also say May 8. Thanks in advance and :) Doma-w 23:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Sailors
Hi! First of all I will congratulate you again for your great work - this time for all the sailors.

I also have some questions to the Estonian sailors:


 * Nikolai Vekšin: I moved him to the correct spelling you told me. My problem was, that I have not known his place of birth and his origin, I have also seen the spelling Wekschin on Estonian pages. I also added the additional infos you gave me. But, what about his date of birth? Do you know which calendar is used for May 23, 1887? Which calendar was in use 1887 in Estonia? OS or NS? (I think May 23 is NS) Also I have two different dates of death: January 14 or January 15?


 * Georg Faehlmann: Here the same problem with the calendar. September 17, 1895 in Russia OS or NS? (I think it is NS)


 * William von Wirén: You gave the date of birth with April 29, 1894. But I have found two different dates: August 29 and September 11. And again the problem with the calendar OS or NS? But here it looks good, because August 29, 1894 (OS) = September 11, 1894 (NS)? (I hope...)


 * Eberhard Vogdt: You gave the date of birth with July 14, 1902. But I have found two different dates: July 27 and August 14. And again the problem with the calendar OS or NS? Here I would like to say, that your date is right, because July 14, 1902 (OS) = July 27, 1902 (NS)?


 * Andreas Faehlmann: Sorrily I have no more information here...

Many thanks again for your help and kind regards! Doma-w 21:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply, I am still pondering...


 * And I have some new questions:


 * Do you agree when we add July 14, 1902 (OS)/July 27, 1902 (NS) to Eberhard Vogdt? Because here I would say it is clear.


 * For William von Wirén: I have found August 29 here: and September 11 is from the Kamper/Mallon book.


 * What do you think about the date of birth here: Katherine Rawls I have only sources telling: June 14?


 * Do you think we can use the image for Henri Rang from Romanian wikipedia?


 * Many thanks and kind regards! :) Doma-w 22:20, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks again for your reply!


 * I have now fixed the DoB for Eberhard Vogdt and for William von Wirén.


 * The Kamper/Mallon book also gives the DoB with July 27 (Vogdt) and September 11 (von Wirén) and it gives September 17 for Georg Faehlmann and May 23 for Nikolai Vekšin. When for all four the same calender is used, then the DoB for G. Faehlmann and Vekšin maybe is also NS? Can you please check it in the Estonian Sports Lexicon. Maybe we can find out which calender our sources used...


 * And I have a new problem... I have deleted Estonia from the place of birth. As Estonia was declared 1918, in which country Vogdt and von Wirén were born? Which country was Kohatu in 1902 and which country was Kärdla in 1894? Was it Reval Governorate, Russian Empire? As I am also very interested in history, this is also very important for me...


 * I will also try to change the DoB for Katherine Rawls. I have changed the style of her name yesterday and one user, who has started the page, did not argee - so maybe I will need your suport. :)


 * Henri Rang; well, Romanian is one of the many languages I do not speak... But maybe we can ask the editor, because his Romanian userpage says, that he can speak English.


 * Kind regards and :) Doma-w 16:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi!


 * Do you agree when we add May 10, 1887 (OS)/May 23, 1887 (NS) to Nikolai Vekšin and September 4, 1895 (OS)/September 17, 1895 (NS) to Georg Faehlmann?


 * For the place of birth: Governorate of Estonia redirects to Reval Governorate. So I would say it looks nice to add this link: Governorate of Estonia . Is this OK for you? And do we want to add also Russian Empire?


 * Please allow me to ask you if you can ask the Romanian user, because I still have no experience with copyrights and images... :)


 * I will send a message to the user of the Katherine Rawls-page, I hope then it will be easier. Thanks for your support!


 * Kind regards! Doma-w 18:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I have now added all the DoBs and links for the Estonian sailors and I hope that they are now all correct! I decided not to add Rissian Empire after Governorate of Estonia, because this info is only one klick away.


 * Please allow me to ask you, if you want to correct the DoB for Katherine Rawls? I do not have the power in this moment to discuss this problem with the user. And on the other side, you have found out the correct DoB and I want that your name will be shown. You had the work and it is your honor! Kind regards and :) Doma-w 11:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Charles Kieffer
Out of curiosity, where did you find the date of death for Charles Kieffer? Cheers, CP 20:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Copyright status
The copyright status of the Henri Rang's image is fair use. Sincerely, Cezarika1 15:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries
I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- JD554 10:34, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi! Thanks for your support in the case of Katherine Rawls and also many thanks for the image Henri Rang.

I have added the day of death for Willard Rice‎ as it is shown in the Kamper/Mallon book. Only for your information, because I known, that your sources are perfect, this book shows for John Lyons (ice hockey player) the dates as: April 4, 1899 - January 15, 1971. Kind regards and :) Doma-w 12:20, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * :) Nice teamwork! Thanks! Doma-w 13:26, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Sources for athletes' death dates and places
I appreciate what you are doing in providing the death dates (and places, if possible) of athletes, but could be so kind and please provide sources on where you got your information on the articles. Thank you. Chris 19:15, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * To put down where you got your sources. That is what I need specifically. Please see WP:CITE for more details. Chris 19:39, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You can put the links down as direct information. If you have access to book or magazine articles, that will do. I understand why you don't want to do this, but I don't want to run the risk of these articles being under scrutiny for insufficient references. Chris 19:52, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I see your point on the ancestry.com information as you stated earlier regarding the Tucker article. Do the best you can on this. The information you are adding is of one piece to a larger picture on the particular person. It is similar to the information I have been able to contribute. Remember in Wikipedia, we are all in this together. Chris 20:10, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The ancestry.com link works for those Wikipedia users who are members for which I am not. There has to be another way, but I wish I knew what it was. I didn't know you were from Estonia (I could tell by the screenshot .ee link). Chris 20:22, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There has to be another way to get that information way. If you want to get the screenshots as references, you may need to go to the community help desk on Wikipedia for assitance. I heard that Estonia is beautiful up there. I am more familiar with your cross country skiers Kristina Šmigun and Andrus Veerpalu, having done some work on those articles last year. Chris 20:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * We will work this out. Enjoy. Chris 20:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Date of death of José Álvarez de Bohórquez

 * Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary.


 * Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'

Yes, the two above thingies are templates, how did you guess? ;-) Now for the main point: I see you added on José Álvarez de Bohórquez the missing date of death (diff). That's great: when I stumbled on this article (while trying to update/complete the Jose Álvarez dab page) I was unable to find this date, and I had to summarize the results of my failure by adding the ==Possible death== section with what little I found.

However, your addition is currently unsourced. Not that I distrust it, mind, but policy is that such material must be verifiable by having citations. Could you please provide your sources for this date, preferably an online page if that exists, or at least the references of the document you got it from (author, date, title, page number and/or chapter title, ideally the ISBN or ISSN too)? Either adding it to the article, or providing me the raw reference then I'll whip up a citation template with the help of WorldCat.org.

Thanks in advance. &mdash; Komusou talk @ 23:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the URL! Sourced death date with it, and expanded José Álvarez de Bohórquez with more. Cheers. &mdash; Komusou talk @ 19:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Of corse you are right! This was my mistake... Thank you and :) Doma-w 22:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Rowing at the 1924 Summer Olympics
May I ask you, what to you think about:


 * The first name of American gold medalist in eights: Allen Lindley. Same sources say: Daniel Allen and others Alfred Damon? As DoB I have: January 20, 1904 - death ?
 * Italian bronze medalist in eights: Latino Gallasso or Latino Galasso? One or two "L"?
 * Do you have further info about Finlayson/Mariacher? Do you know the first name of Mariacher?
 * Do you know the first name of Swiss coxswain Lossli? Walter or Fritz?
 * Do you have further info about the coswains in the coxed fours? For Switzerland: Lossli or Lachapelle? For France: Barberolle or Lepan? Maybe Lossli competed in the first two races and Lachapelle only in the final. But for France I can only find sources which shows either Barberolle or Lepan...

Thanks for your edits to the rowers from 1920! Great! Kind regards and :) Doma-w 12:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thanks! I now corrected Alfred Lindley and Latino Galasso. I only prefer Walter Lossli, because there are two Swiss sources saying Walter: and . My problem with all the Swiss sources is, that they list Hans Walter as well as Hans Walther...


 * I let the coxswains unchanged, I think these problems must be shown at first on the event-pages. Kind regards Doma-w 13:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Also Kamper/Mallon show Hans Walter without h. I think Lossli is correct, because Loosli is only reported by Wudarski, so maybe it is a typo. Doma-w 14:18, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Ice hockey
Hi! Sorrily we had to create our Olympic competitors in a "new" style... but still I would prefer our "old" style with born and died and the place of birth/death added in the first line... anyway...

Please allow me to report same differences I found in my sources:


 * Joseph Albert Sullivan I have born 1901.
 * Norbert Mueller I have a nickname calling him "Stuffy".
 * Hugh Plaxton I have his date of death December 1, 1982.
 * John Porter (ice hockey) I have a nickname "Red" for him.
 * Carl Abrahamsson for his middle name I can only find "G."

Thanks and :) Doma-w 15:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for checking again! I will try to contact the webmater of www.olympic-medallists.com again.

Swiss ice hockey 1928

 * Giannin Andreossi born July 2, 1902 - died (many sources report Giannin, also www.swissolympic.ch)

 * Robert Breiter born March 28, 1909 - possibly living

 * Richard Torriani - Richard "Bibi" Torriani born October 1, 1911 - died September 3, 1988 (won also bronze in 1948!) (some sources also report his first name "Riccardo")

I can not help with Swedish Nils Johansson... Kamper/Mallon reports February 5, 1905 - March 6, 1964!!! (and I havn't missed the line!) Kind regards and :) Doma-w 16:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Please see: Bibi Torriani!! If you edit this page please change the category from "Olympic ice hockey players for Switzerland" to "Olympic ice hockey players OF Switzerland"! Thanks Doma-w 16:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks good! You are welcomed. Kind regards. Doma-w 23:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Emil Rausch
Hey! Can you please check again his date of birth. All my sources gave him September 11, 1882. Thank you and :) Doma-w 21:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I also do not not if 1882 or 1883 is correct, but I think they all say September 11 and not November 9? Thanks for all the great new pictures! Kind regards Doma-w 22:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Aleksandar Shalamanov
Hi! I need your help... This article says, that he participated in both Summer and Winter Games. I know, that he participated in the 1960 Winter Games as alpine skier, but I can not find which Summer Games and which sport? In football Bulgaria only participated in 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1968. He was to young in 1952 and 1956 and he did not win a medal, so he did not participate in 1968. And I can not find a source, that he was on the squad in 1960? Do you have any idea if he is a dual Olympian? Kind regards and :) Doma-w 12:32, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for your help and your answer! I have now corrected the categories and refined the text. Hopefully it is right. A very interesting sports personality! The text says, that he is the only Bulgarian to compete in Winter Games, Summer Games and Soccer World Cup, but I guess he is the only in the world? Kind regards! Doma-w 14:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think this is better. I have again rewritten the text. Kind regards! Doma-w 15:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Rugby
Hi! I have tried to correct the rugby pages and I hope, that you agree with my edits... Still I need your help! I have some questions:


 * James Fitzpatrick (rugby player) are the changes vandalism?
 * Charles Lee Tilden, Jr. does he play in the 1924 tournament? Now he is "above the line" - maybe he must be moved "below the line"?
 * John Muldoon and William S. Muldoon both were reserve players in 1924, but who played in 1920? My sources report that William played and they also give William the date of birth/death instead of John. But I do not have any dates for John.

Maybe you can also have a look at all the others... Many thanks and kind regards! Doma-w (talk) 14:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for your answer. Yes, it looks like, that the user was very sure with Fitzpatrick. Also this is his only edit. Sorrily I have no access to Mallon's new database. I also never has contact with User:DerbyCountyinNZ...


 * So I think we had to move Tilden "below the line" and delete his 1924 medal...? OK, so it looks like, that John played in 1920 and not William. Kind regards! Doma-w (talk) 15:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Death dates
It's nice to know you: I'm a tennis writer from Japanese Wikipedia. I noticed you from Evelyn Colyer's death date addition. There, I noticed many people from your contributions -- tennis players, Colyer, Phyllis Covell, Pierre Albarran and more. Where did you find these, from an old book? I saw some of your previous discussions. If possible, please write your sources to my talkpage. I'll remember them, and try to search in my own eyes too. My best regards. --Hhst (talk) 10:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for immediate response. I accessed Pierre Albarran's source site: There, they have annual CD-ROMs "Die Sportstatistik-CD 2007" -- Ordner "Nekrolog" mit den Todesdaten olympischer Sportler! Did you buy these? My best regards. --Hhst 08:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Aleksander Klumberg-Kolmpere
Hi! Does this Estonian athlete really compete under this name? Wouldn't it be better to move this page only to Aleksander Klumberg like it is on Estonian wiki? Is the meaning, that he only used the name Kolmpere between 1935 and 1936? Many thanks and kind regards Doma-w 23:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I was on the way to start an article for Ferenc Forgács/Forgách (competed in 1912 800 m and 1500 m) but I have a problem with his name... I know, that the official report, De Wael, and Wudarski spell his name Forgács but Hungarian and Slovak sources (he is of Slovak origin with the name František Faczinek) spell his name Forgách... Do you have any idea? I would weakly prefer Ferenc Forgách. Also many thanks and again kind regards Doma-w 02:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thanks again for your very interesting historical explanations! So the name of the article is perfer with Aleksander Klumberg-Kolmpere. But he competed in the 1920 and 1924 Olympics so in these articles I can not write Klumberg-Kolmpere, because he changed his name not before 1935. So in these articles the name must be Aleksander Klumberg. To you agree when I change them all to Aleksander Klumberg ?


 * I think I will start the article for Ferenc Forgács with -cs and add footnotes. Maybe someone will get involved, but I don't think, because only you and I are interested in the Olympic Project. :)) Kind regards! Doma-w 12:23, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Many thank, I will do it today. Kind regards Doma-w 13:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Ups! 1967 is right for Trieloff! This was my typo, thanks for checking again! Kind regards Doma-w 17:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Erik Herseth
Hi. I noticed that you added a death date to Erik Herseth of 1993, which would have made him over 100 years old at the time of death. Can you provide a citation for this? I want to add a full and proper citation to his entry at List of centenarians. Cheers, CP 23:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Footballers
Hi! Thanks for all the new footballers! A few questions:


 * For Sabino Bilbao I have a DoD January 19, 1983?
 * There are some discrepancies with first names of Uruguayan players.
 * for Juan Naya‎ I have José
 * for Alfredo Romano‎ I have Ángel (has an article in fr, pl and ru)
 * for Umberto Tomasina‎ I have Humberto

Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 01:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for your answer. But Wudarski also has José, Ángel, and Humberto. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 09:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have a new question: Can you please check the DoB for André Fierens again? My sources say February 8 not 28. So maybe his birthday is today :) Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 14:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

This is quite funny, because I thought my Wudarski files were old and I have also updated them :)

I am also not 100% sure for Adhemar Canavesi but I would say November 14 is the DoD and not the DoB with a typo in the year! DoB August 18, 1903 and DoD November 14, 1984 looks ok to me. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 16:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Footballers II
Hi, can you please check:


 * Paul Fässler - I have DoD March 26, 1983
 * Robert Pache‎ - I have DoB September 26, 1897
 * Paul Schmiedlin‎ - I have DoD July 2, 1981 (maybe you missed the line, because March 7, 1976 is the DoD for Adolphe Reymond)

Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 13:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... There must be something wrong... Mallon reports DoD for Schmiedlin with July 2, 1981 and DoD for Reymond with March 7, 1976. So maybe we had to keep these under observation. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 14:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, ok. But it is also possible that Mallon mixed it up. We will keep these in mind. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 14:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC

Tug of War Athletes
Hi. When you created the biographies for the American tug-of-war Olympic competitors, you assigned them all to category Category:American tug of war athletes which never actually ended up getting created. I was going to add it, but then I figured that since all the competitors were in the Olympics, then Category:Olympic tug of war competitors of the United States would suffice instead, but I thought I should check with you first.

Names
Hi! I have two new questions. First do you have any source if Marc Wrights first name was Marcus? Someone merged/moved your article. The other question is about the Estonian track and field athlete Johann(es) Martin who competed in 1912 (for Russia) and in 1920. Do you know if his first name was Johann or Johannes? Thanks in advance and kind regards Doma-w (talk) 02:40, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your reply. I will ask to move Marc Wright to his correct name. Johann Martin was born in Riga, but he was Estonian. Is this correct? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 16:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OK! Thanks again! Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 17:17, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I asked user:Andrwsc to move Marc Wright. But he also wrote: If you google for "Marcus Snowell Wright pole vault 1912", you find a MS Word document on the United States Olympic Committee website that lists him as Marcus! So there is one source reporting his name Marcus. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 19:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Hare
Hi! What to you think about Truxton Hare? Wasn't his first name Truxtun? If so, I will ask an admin to move him. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 16:49, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your answer! Let's try to move him. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 00:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Move
Hi! May I ask you why you have moved George Wilkinson (water polo player) to George Wilkinson (water polo)? According to Naming conventions (people) the right term is water polo player... At this moment I am on the way to correct all Olympians with the term (athletics) to (athlete). Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 00:29, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If I may interject, Gh is correct on this one. For some reason, (athlete) is the only one that disambigs to occupation, rather than sport. If you look at the way page moves are done (football) is preferred to (football player), (ice hockey) to (ice hockey player), (field hockey) to (field hockey player) etc. etc. So (water polo) is the correct way of doing it. I have no idea why it's like that, I just know that it's the consensus. Cheers, CP 02:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, Goodness! Thanks for your help CP Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 09:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Pyrgos.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Pyrgos.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

René Sparenberg
I tried to add the fact that René Sparenberg is still alive, but someone reverted it. Where's the source? 71.42.216.98 (talk) 13:09, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Per Dutch Olympic historian Tony Bijkerk, Sparenberg moved to Curaçao and then to USA Florida. Only Rene Sparenberg living in USA is listed living in Florida per http://www.whitepages.com/ (whitepages.com is quite reliable source with finding people and their adresses). Age matches with hockeyplayer. Robert Young was alive couple of years ago in Bakersfield, California, when he was contacted by friend of mine, a fellow Olympic historian. www.whitepages.com still lists one Robert C. Young living in Bakersfield. Age matches with athlete. I hope this helps. Gh (talk) 14:11, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Léon Binoche


The article Léon Binoche has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: '''Fails WP:GNG, WP:NOLYMPICS, and WP:SPORTCRIT #5.

Additional sources are available on the French Wikipedia, but none count towards WP:GNG - some actually refer to a different person with the same name. A few passing mentions online, but most only mention his name in a list; the most substantial is this article on his son, but it is not WP:SIGCOV - Léon Binoche, his father, is an industrialist specializing in the supply of equipment for factories. But the picture is less classic than it seems, because the latter first made a name for himself in rugby with the Racing Club de France; he also belonged to the team that in 1900 won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics (machine translation)

Redirect is not suitable per WP:R #1, as others by the same name exist, some of which might be notable including the professor covered by one of the sources on the French WIkipedia. In addition, there are too many articles referring to this individual for a redirect to not confuse the reader; if we redirect to his Olympic performance, we confuse readers looking for his history with Racing 92, and if we redirect to his history with Racing 92, we confuse readers looking for his Olympic performance.'''
