Manuel Comnenus image
Hi Hans, I'm always suffering from a lack of time! I didn't take that picture, I must have found it online somewhere (and I'm sure it will have to be deleted according to Wikipedia policy). Adam Bishop (talk) 12:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Adam, what a pitty. So, I shouldn't use it either. Thanks for your information. --Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 14:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I see it is still being used on the Manuel I Komnenos article, and the image page claims it is a public domain image. So I guess it's okay after all. Adam Bishop (talk) 01:54, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 08:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Cold Lake First Nations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heart Lake (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Helmut Diez
I've reverted your most recent edits on the Helmut Diez article. I think you could benefit from reading WPs core policies and guidelines with respect to encyclopedic style, proper sourcing, undue weight etc. If you need any further guidance or care to discuss this further, please leave a comment on the article's talk page. Rhode Island Red (talk) 18:13, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That's what I have done. --Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 09:13, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * My best advice would be to seek input from someone uninvolved, someone who's not previously participated in any discussion about this article. Nyttend (talk) 12:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Have you got an idea? --Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 15:22, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit War Warning
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
 * May I ask, why I'm the only one who is warned, despite obvious vandalism? --Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 16:10, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Springer Gabler


A tag has been placed on Springer Gabler 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.

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Springer Gabler, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Controlling. 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.

WP:NPA is Non-Negotiable
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people. Comment on content, not on fellow editors.
 * Your edit here constitute a personal attack. It is not the first time you've done it and I have asked you nicely several times now to stop. Please be WP:CIVIL so that this chronic issue won't have to be brought up for administrative action. Thanks you in advance for complying. Rhode Island Red (talk) 04:41, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * As ever: polite intimidation. --Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 08:11, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Now a little bit less polite, but much clearer. Do you try to intimidate Wikiwiserick? or me?: . As I said, try your luck. But is this the way to promote your demand of "NPA is Non-Negotiable"? You couldn't have shown more obvious, that your strategy consists of massive intimidation, contortions, missinterpretations, discrediting, etc. Wikilawyering does not seem to be enough for you. Should I make the first step and ask for a CU? Should we be polite and ask Wikiwiserick, whom I informed already? Or do you want to? --Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 11:05, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of a diagram in the Signoria of Venice article
Hello, You deleted the diagram in the Signoria of Venice article. I am not the one who created it, but do you have hints on what are the major mistakes in it? I can try to improve it if you are able to give me information on what is blatantly wrong. I would obviously need to recreate one from scratch (because as I said I did not create it), but I think that having an accurate diagram could be useful in this article. Regards. Hervegirod (talk) 19:28, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, an accurate diagram might of course be very useful for the reader's understanding. A first step could be to correct the more obvious mistakes, e.g. "governmet" ought to be replaced by "government" and "abinet" by "cabinet" (as already mentioned by somebody else on the discussion page). The doge was a member of the Signoria, had a seat in nearly all assemblies, which developed over time. But the status of the doge also changed over time, he was elected for the first time not by the Arengo in 1172. The Council of Ten was founded in 1310. The Collegio consisted of the heads of several institutions, e. g. the Camera del Sal or the Camera frumenti. At this time the Arengo was rather something that was nearly forgotten, an early institution, the assembly of the whole populus, which until the 12th century had had the right to elect the doges, to decide about war and peace. The diagram mixes up different stages in the development of the venetian constitution. As far as I can see, we have no consistent article about this item, so it could become a rather long journey... But anyway, thanks for the offer. Regards. Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 20:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, I propose you the following: I will copy the article (I did not create the diagram of course) in a test article in my user pages, and point you to this copied page. When you are happy with the result (I know it can take time, but it's ok), we could replace the original article content and diagram by this one. Thanks for your answer!! Hervegirod (talk) 10:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello again, my first try: User:Hervegirod/Venice institutions Hervegirod (talk) 11:32, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, certainly much better. The Collegio consisted of the Doge himself, and so called Savi, experienced men who were elected by the Maggior Consiglio. They were responsible for the Stato da Mar, that means, the colonial empire, from about 1380 onwards. Starting in 1420 another group of Savi, who were then also part of the Collegio, were responsible for the Stato da Terra, the venetian parts of northern Italy. The Collegio consisted of 11 Savi grandi including the doge; certain institutions were also represented at the very frequent meetings of the Collegio, e. g. the above mentioned heads of the Camera del Sal, Camera del frumento and so on. Such a diagram is of course alsways an oversimplification. Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 11:50, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, I updated the diagram again. I remarked that nearly all the Venice articles are using the same old defective diagram though. I also have a question. Is the Stato da Terra named Domini di Terraferma on wikipedia? Hervegirod (talk) 13:00, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't found the technical term "Domini di Terraferma" in the sources yet, but the article seems to deal with the above mentioned subject. Thank you very much Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 13:07, 13 July 2020 (UTC).
 * Are you OK if I replaced the current diagram by this one? I will also try to create an article about Republic of Venice institutions using you advice. Currently all these informations are scattered in various articles. What do you think? Hervegirod (talk) 09:33, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It's a good starting point now. I'm looking forward to your new article. Hans-Jürgen Hübner (talk) 09:43, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will do the same as for the diagram and create it in my user space first :) Hervegirod (talk) 11:08, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
