Kategorien und Subpages
Hi,

ist das irgendwo besprochen und entschieden worden, auf der Mailinglinte z.B.? Die Kategorien sind (im Moment noch!) etwas durcheinander; würden da Subpages nicht noch mehr Verwirrung stiften?

Natürlich, wenn es unseren heißgelibten "Konsens" gibt, werde ich Subpages in den Kategorien anstellen (sobald ich herausgefunden habe, wo;-). --Magnus Manske 18:15, Jun 20, 2004 (UTC)

Data Management Wiki Committee
Thank you for your contribution to one, or more, articles that are now organized under Data management.

Because of your previous intrest, you are recieving an invitation to become a founding member of the Data Management Wiki Committee.

The members, of course, will form and solidify the purpose, rules, officers, etc. but my idea (to kick things off) is to establish a group of us who will take responsiblity to see that the ideas of Data management are promoted and well represented in Wikipedia articles.

If you are willing to join the committee, please go to Category_talk:Data_management and indicate your acceptance of this invitation by placing your three tilde characters in the list.

Hi! Did you ever finish that English langauge paper on you research? Andicat 13:11, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I attended your visualization session at Wikimania. I'm starting to work through some of the the things you presented. I was wondering if you would be willing to share some of your python scripts for processing the XML dumps? I would mainly like an example that I could learn from. Thank you!

Dewey Decimal System
I can see from the talk pages that there was some effort to get rid of WP:DSS, which is a clear copyvio, and that you were involved in it to some extent. However, the main page and all its subpages still remain. Now, there is a curious "copyright notice" on the the main page (Dewey Decimal System) which proclaims that pre-1923 of the Dewey Decimal System are public domain, and a link to the current copyright holder which proclaims that a licence is required. However, the page itself says it is based on the 2003 system, not a pre-1923 system. There is a legal precedent cited about recipes in a cookbook, which, my law degree tells me, sounds like it is being cited out of desperation rather than clear legal argument. Further, it seems odd to me that the page talks about pre-1923 being copyright-free when it admits to actually using the 2003 system. I am tempted to try to get this deleted as a copyvio but I want to find out why the last effort to do so failed - I can find no trace of why it failed on the talk pages, just some messages agreeing that it should be deleted! Can you remember what happened that meant this got kept? TheGrappler 17:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm more used to the German Wikipedia where we delete copyvios very strictly. Maybe in the English Wikipedia people tolerate the use of non-free material - you can argue alot that DDC is "only a bit non-free" and OCLC will probably tolerate it's usage in Wikipedia but sue other users (see Dewey_Decimal_Classification). It's a pitty that other users tend to tolerate non-free material because this way there is no need to create free knowledge or free the existing. --

WorldCat Identities
You might be interested in a proposed project to link to WorldCat Identities: if you are, please do sign up at the project proposal page! Dsp13 15:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your mention of WorldCat Identities on Wikimetrics. I'm not very sanguine that en:Wikipedia will look happily on systematically adding external links as de:Wikipedia did to PND: it falls foul of many editors' anti-spam instincts (e.g. here and here). Do you have any idea when VIAF is likely to be up and running? Dsp13 20:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Bibliogram
Could a bibliogram or similar measurement be done on Wikipedia? For instance, if the various contributions of individual editors were indexed and analyzed it might yield an interesting description of the quality of edits and editors. —joeFriday— { talk }  01:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I have done such measures in my masters thesis (confirming among other results Lotka's law) but quantitative analysis is a vague ground for qualitative assumptions. -- Nichtich 09:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

List of speakers at Wizards of OS
A template has been added to the article List of speakers at Wizards of OS, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of the page. Crusio 19:46, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

AfD, VfD and other cryptic machine-talk
Hallo Nichtich, Tut mir Leid wegen der Machinensprache. Ich habe nur die Instruktionen fuer "speedy delete" and "AfD" befolgt und die templates wie vorgeschrieben auf Deine Seite kopiert. Damit bist Du nicht nur in Kenntniss gestellt (wie es sich hoeflichkeitshalber natuerlich gehoert - es ist nicht zwingend vorgeschrieben), aber gibt es auch sofort die noetigen Links. Tut mir Leid falls das hirnlos erschien! --Crusio 23:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

PS: wie Du siehst habe ich keine Deutsche Tastatur auf diese Machine....

Case folding in EBCDIC
I have edited your section on case folding to say that it does work in EBCDIC. — PhilHibbs | talk 12:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Reuse of OA logo
FYI there is a discussion about the attribution constraint for the OA logos you uploaded to Commons on this page. --DarTar (talk) 17:08, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Tilman Said you might be interested
Hello Jakob,

I spoke to Tilman this weekend and he said that you'd be interested to comment on my proposal to create a bot to link Wikipedia to VIAF. If you'd like to comment check out the proposal on Village Pump. Thanks Maximiliankleinoclc (talk) 00:36, 26 June 2012 (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 Nichtich. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nichtich~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 02:08, 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) 16:57, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
