Swedish slave trade
The article "Saint-Barthélemy" in the Swedish National Encyclopedia actually states that King Gustav III got the island as part of a "diplomatic deal" during his visit to Paris in 1784. In the Swedish slave trade article, you seem to claim that he bought it in 1783. In the Wikipedia Saint-Barthélemy article, the Swedish period is said to start in 1785. Could you please give your sources for the 1783 date, to facilitate a fact check? Alarm 13:21, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hello
Again welcome to Wikipedia. I worked some on the Kiss article with typo's and wikification. You worked well on it. Just need to ask you to again take a look at it. It is disputed but I am unfamiliar with Kiss's history. Another editor has made some possibly questionable edits after yours and that same editor vandalized the talk page which I reverted already. You seem familiar with that band so please have a look at it. Thank you-- Dak ota     t     e  ''' 17:20, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! I will that a look and see what I can do. --Konstantin 22:32, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Although much what he added might seems kinda questionable, I am not myself that much familiar with KISS' history, although I'm a big fan of them. I just saw an extreme need to edit the ending, because it was so totally NPOV. I also question the contributions from an editor that vandalizes talk pages should be trusted... --Konstantin 22:42, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Category links
If you put interwiki-links in category-pages don't forget, to add the namespace. For example here you have forgotten the Kategori. Also it would be nice if you use the summary-box to say what you have done with edit. Greetings, Amtiss, SNAFU ? 14:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

DUDE!!!THAT WASNT RIGHT!!!
hey man!! that wasnt right u deleting my thng from the Adam Brody discussion! im putting it back up!!! Ms. Brody


 * I deleted it because:

1: Discussion pages should be used to discuss the article, how to improve them etc, NOT have general discussions about the topics. You should use one of the millions of forums on the internet for that. 2: It contained spoilers, and a lot of people don't like spoilers, like me... --Konstantin 18:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Bjornar Simonsen
The article you wrote, Bjornar Simonsen, is uncategorized. Please help improve it by adding it to one or more categories, so it may be associated with related articles. A stub marker or other template doesn't count - please put in an actual category in the article.Eli Falk 14:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh. Sorry, i forgot. I also planned to but more work into it later, when it got time to think how to improve it. I will put it in a category right away. --Konstantin 15:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 17:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Of course, I will try to remember that in the future. --Konstantin 17:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Et tu, Brute
Hej, anledningen till att jag tog bort den delen var att den inte tillförde artikeln något, jag skulle t.o.m. hävda att den försämrade artikelns informationsvärde. Bara för att något är sant betyder det inte att det platsar i en artikel i en encyklopedi (se WP:NOT). När det gäller den här typen av s.k. trivia finns det, som du märkt, redan mycket i vissa artiklar men det betyder inte att det är något som uppmuntras. Tvärtom görs det ansträngningar att minska dessa avdelningar bl.a. genom WikiProject Trivia Cleanup. mvh/ Pax:Vobiscum 23:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Prostitution in Thailand intro
You edited the supposed POV without so much as a comment which I had invited. I am considering removing the whole intro as none of it is cited doesnt that make it all POV!? Mattjs 12:03, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, but I am not getting your point. What are you trying to say? Please excuse me, English is not my mother tongue... --Konstantin 18:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Are you for real? Why are you editing english articles if you are not confident of the language? I had commented upon my addiions to the article in the discussions/talkback page and you made no comment whatsoever - even a polite "by your leave" or advisory - before taking a scalpel to the intro lines I added? Mattjs 14:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I am not saying that I am not confident I english, which I am. I am just saying that I apparently my english is not advanced enough to understand your rambling conversation. You don't have to be an expert in the english language in order to edit english wikipedia articles, because even if you would make an spelling/grammar/context error someone else can correct it, as with every other error you may do when editing wikipedia. You do know that the idea of wkipieda is collaboration? There is no RULE that you have to leave a comment in the talk page before making any edit in an article, but in some disputed articles that may be advised. One of the most important rules of wikipedia is to be BOLD, make an edit instead of doing nothing at all. If it is a good edit, it will contribute to the article, if it's not, someone else can improve it or revert it. Anyway, sorry if I hurt your feelings by removing your paragraph. But we don't have to get into a lenghty discussion about this, do we?

Swedish slave trade...an exhibition!

The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits.

I agree with you that he is not yet notable, with the relevant guideline being   WP:PROF--not yet enough publications. . However, I changed your wording on the PROD. Please avoid using the term "vanity" even when you think it justified--people think of it as insulting, reasonably enough. Incidentally, according to WP:COI, COI is not a reason for deletion and people are not prohibited from writing pages about themselves--it is discouraged though, for good reason, and such pages need to be looked at carefully. DGG (talk) 20:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I can't know whether the article has been written by the subject himself, but this is not against wikipedia rules. Incidentally, being a scholar of religion myself, I happen to have come across his work, and although he is indeed not famous, I do think that he is fairly known within his own field (besides, there are very few academics who are indeed known beyond their own field or sub-field). However, I do agree that some of the information in this article is unnecessarily lengthy, and I have edited it to remove it. --Neologistic (talk) 14:23, 20 January 2009.

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 Konstantin. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Konstantin~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 01:11, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dubiotech


A tag has been placed on Dubiotech, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
