 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style


 * Perhaps you do not know this, but it is required when nominating an article for proposed deletion to use an edit summary saying exactly that, so it can be spotted in a list of contributions. See WP:PROD. also, it does appear to be a little uunsual to come here and immediately start nominating articles for deletion. If you are not a new editor, I remind you of our rules about multiple accounts and Sockpuppets. As for the proposed deletions,. it might be more useful perhaps to actually look for sources, since at least the major Wikipedias like the Hebrew and Classical Chinese ones almost certainly have them. --see WP:BEFORE for an explanation of why deletion is the last resort.
 * I strongly advise you to not continue such proposed deletions until you se the response to the ones you have already listed DGG (talk) 03:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Deprods
I've had to remove the proposed deletion tags on Kurdish Wikipedia, Gan Wikipedia, Pennsylvania German Wikipedia, Bulgarian Wikipedia, and Hebrew Wikipedia as they have all survived a discussion at Articles for deletion (see their talk pages for links to the discussions). Per the proposed deletion policy, PROD cannot be used on articles that previously survived AfD. You are welcome to nominate the articles for deletion at AfD via the procedure outlined here if you wish. Thanks! BryanG (talk) 06:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for letting me now. Innerear (talk) 16:25, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Because I think that there should be a community decision on whether to keep these articles I've removed all the remaining PRODs. You can still nominate them for deletion, but a mass nom might be better than sending them piecemeal. Fences and windows (talk) 01:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's irritating. Could you please "mass nom" them then? (whatever that means) Innerear (talk) 08:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No irritation intended, I just don't agree with deletion. I don't want them deleted, so I won't nominate them. "Mass nom" means to nominate them all together rather than under several different discussions. At least one is up for AfD, see Articles_for_deletion/Northern_Sámi_Wikipedia. Also see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Wikipedia. Fences and windows (talk) 18:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Lund University
Dear Innerear, the counting system for students in most countries corresponts to the Swedish "helårsstudent", which is why Lund University has only 25,000 students by international standards. --Axt (talk) 15:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Axt, could you provide a source proving this (surely you're not asking me to just take your word for it?) Innerear (talk) 02:29, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It's quite simple, because the ways of counting in most countries corresponds to full-time equivalents (FTE), while in Sweden the counting system is such that, if student A reads only one course worth 7.5 credits only during spring term and another student B reads only another course worth 7.5 credits only in the autumn term, then that is equivalent to 2 students in the Swedish system, but only equivalent to 0.5 students in the FTE system. The FTE system usually requires the student to take 3/4 of the average (i.e. 22.5 credits of 30) and would count the same study place if it was taken by two different people (as in the example above) as one student even though it is two different humans, because the two humans are not reading any courses in the other half of the academic year. It's quite complicated, but the number of students in Sweden is best comparable to that of other countries when using the "helårsstudent" figure in the högskoleverket's annual report. Lund University does in reality not have 34,000 full-time students present on campus at any given point in the academic year, but an average of 25,000 students present on campus throughout the year. Though it may be desirable for a university to claim 34,000 students instead of 25,000, any international student coming to Lund would wonder where all the students are that he was promised in the brochures ;-). --Axt (talk) 19:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * PS: You'll find the FTE number on this page. --Axt (talk) 19:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Axt, I understand the concept of FTE, I'm asking for a reliable source explaining why the number of FTE students would be more appropriate than total number of students. You are just arguing (no offense intended), but Wikipedia isn't about arguments, it's about verifiability. Best, Innerear (talk) 05:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Innerear. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Innerear~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:42, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
