Neckar map fixed
05-March-2008: I have fixed the Neckar map for spelling of "Tübingen" and moved the images in article Tübingen to avoid text-gaps. Thanks for spotting the extra "r" in the name. I wish the wiki software had a more automatic way to auto-shift images to avoid those large text-gaps around large images, regardless of left/right placement, but I can't yet think how the MediaWiki software could be changed to provide auto-shifting. I finally realized that wiki edit-mode should not wrap brackets or parentheses at all, but just consider all characters as one long unsplit "word" of the form "xxxfilm])yyy" rather than split at "[[" or ")" to separate "xxx" or "yyy": that is an example of how a very trivial change to the MediaWiki software could avoid hours of spacing problems around brackets split between lines. I'm a computer scientist, and I've found that 99.999% of all irksome computer problems can be fixed by a few simple changes, and most computer software could be adjusted to be very easy to use: for example, the whole notion of "computer viruses" is an artificial problem actively allowed or fostered by some computer people, because viruses would be trivial to totally prevent. The computer [[robber barons realized that viruses killing PCs caused people to buy more of their trashy computers to keep going, hoping a new PC would be safer.  However, most wiki-software problems are just accidental design flaws and could be fixed easily. -Wikid77 (talk) 01:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hemmendorf (Rottenburg)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hemmendorf (Rottenburg), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Dettingen (Rottenburg). 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. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tailfingen
A tag has been placed on Tailfingen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 10:02, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
