Ursula Apitzsch, etc.
Hi Octet sole: What Hullabaloo Wolfowitz wrote at AN/I made me realize I'd been less supportive than I should have been. I hadn't realised how new you were. The only things you should be aware of are that en.wikipedia has an extremely high expectation of references relative to other Wikipedias; something is currently messed up so I couldn't check whether you are an old hand on other wikipedias via the "global contributions" link, but I found it relatively easy to track down and add further references to Ursula Apitzsch and I recommend you do that when you translate an article, to ward off criticism and possible AfD nominations - many editors use the number of references as an indication of notability rather than reading the article to find other reasons, or taking interwikis into account, and it is good practice here anyway - and reserve the word "vandalism" for actions of deliberate destructiveness towards the encyclopaedia, no matter how misguided you may consider the other person's actions. There is disagreement between editors over tagging, even down to whether sticking multiple tags at the start of an article can be called "tag-bombing" or whether that only applies to inserting inline tags throughout the text. However, you were right to raise the issue elsewhere, and I'm happy to see you have now removed the remaining tags from Ursula Apitzsch - I was hoping someone would, I agree, I think it now meets all standards. Please feel free to ask me for advice/assistance on other articles you have created or that you create in the future ... and to tell me off if you think I was overly hasty in my response at AN/I. Unfortunately, the high expectation for sources and the tag culture are facts on en.wikipedia; if it isn't that particular editor raising issues it will be another. Which plus the fact it had been singled out was why I decided to improve that one article as a suggestion. But I should have checked your history or clicked on more of the diffs you provided before being so even-handed in my statement. Yngvadottir (talk) 14:37, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I have been editing on the Swedish Wikipedia for some time, so I'm not entirely new. I found your comment on AN/I helpful and didn't think it was hasty or anything. Octet sole (talk) 17:43, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.
