Hello! I see you are listed in Category:Wikipedians in Germany. I have made subcategories for each Bundesland in case you would like to add yourself to the appropriate one. See Category:Wikipedians in Germany for a list of the subcategories (they use the English names, the same as their Wikipedia articles). --Angr ( tɔk ) 16:01, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello Angr, thank you for this information.
 * ''Hallo Angr, vielen Dank für die Info. Habe dies gleich eingebaut. Mein englisch ist nicht wirklich gut, deshalb antworte ich Dir zusätzlich und etwas ausführlicher auf deutsch ;-) Da ich gesehen habe, dass Du wohl sehr gut deutsch verstehst und sogar in Deutschland lebst. Also nochmals vielen herzlichen Dank. --Kandschwar 16:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Owney (dog)
The formatting of von Tanja Neumann is unclear to me. Is von Tanja the first name. See the link to the article. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 13:41, 25 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The name is "Tanja Neumann", the word "von" means in english "by"


 * Given name: Tanja
 * Family name: Neumann
 * Kandschwar (talk) 14:58, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a von, which I assume goes with the family name? 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 14:59, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No. The "von" is german and means in englisch "by": For example: "Vom Streuner zum Maskottchen - Owney, der Bahnposthund" by Tanja Neumann. Kandschwar (talk) 15:05, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Pardon my being dense, but the iteration of the author[s name would be

No, only "Tanja" is the given name. Kandschwar (talk) 15:15, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Given name: von Tanja (which is what appears in Das Archiv)
 * Family name: Neumann. That is what we have, and apparently it is correct.  Dunkë. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 15:11, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * So when we use it in the citation it ("von") appears nowhere? 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 15:28, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

in this connection means "von" in english "written by" / "written of" Tanja Neumann. Kandschwar (talk) 15:33, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

One more example:
 * Germanwings Crash Investigation Hits Snag in Retrieving Data By DAN BILEFSKY and NICOLA CLARK nytimes.com
 * By DAN BILEFSKY and NICOLA CLARK
 * means in german:
 * von DAN BILEFSKY und NICOLA CLARK

 * Duh. Now I understand.  Manfred von Richthofen was not being used in that sense. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 15:43, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes it's correct. German is a heavy language. Some words have double meanings. Kandschwar (talk) 15:50, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * English too. And more than two meanings.  Homophones are common.  Depends on context.  <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 15:55, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
