Parliamentary sovereignty
Thanks for the edit - had that on my to-do list for months. Reads a lot better. Excellent. Davidkinnen 09:23, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Politics of Germany
I reverted your edit in that article, where you changed constitution to constitutional document (which actually links back to constitution). It is true that the Basic Law doesn't have the word constitution in it. The authors saw it as a temporary legal foundation, which was to be replaced when Germany reunified as one country. However, when that happened 16 years ago, the decision was made not to write a new constitution but to keep the Basic Law, with some amendments. For all intents and purposes, the Basic Law is the constitution of Germany. There's nothing in it (today) that distinguishes it in nature from the constitutions of most other democratic nations so why create the linguistic distinction that only serves to confuse the reader? sebmol 06:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I quite agree with you. The main reason I made the edit was to clarify the point. It seems as if there was still confusion about the constitution, but more at an institutional level. I mean you have a Bundesverfassungsgericht, but no Bundesverfassung!! I am a politics student, and in my writing I would be expected to make distinctions like that, so I thought it would be helpful to readers. (RM21 09:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC) )
 * I haven't lately checked the article on the Basic Law, but I would presume that might be a good place to discuss sucht more subtle points. Either way, I'm looking forward to your edits, it's always interesting to see how politics articles develop here. sebmol 16:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Would you like to check the ongoing debate about the Basic Law article?? A guy is trying to convey the sense that the first article is a collective disavowal of discrimination, particularly with regard to the NS-era. However, he has struggled to make points objectively, and you may wish to add to his contribution. (RM21 20:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)) test

Time templates
Hello. Couple of things:

I de-tagged for speedy deletion, and listed it on Templates for deletion; we've pretty strict regulations on what kind of content can be deleted without going through a removal process.

In addition, I noticed your edit to as a template I transclude on my user page,, subsequently broke, displaying 'Error: invalid time' instead of the correct hour. I suspect it was due to a bug in Ed Poor's template (I think he passed the wrong arguments to one of the templates called and it ended up working by chance) as opposed to a bug in your rewrite, but I wasn't sure; reverted your edit.

Ed Poor's template calls, which calls. I copied over your version of to ; also copied over  to, changing its references to  to point to  instead. Results:


 * returns ''


 * returns ''


 * returns , should be 

I tried to figure out what was breaking, but it was just taking too long; I've never done any extensive work in the template namespace. In any case, if you have spare time, take a crack at it. ~ PseudoSudo 23:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Arbitration Committee history
Hello. If you're the same sebmol who was asking for advice on setting up an Arbitration Committee on IRC today, then the following list documents will be instructive: Wikipedia Signpost/Series/January 2006 ArbCom election. There you will find the history of the Arbitration Committee, common criticisms, etc. &mdash;Psychonaut 04:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I am and thank you very much for that. I greatly appreciate it. sebmol 05:23, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

block for vandalism in German version
Hallo, in der deutschen Version schreibst Du, ich sei wegen Sockenpuppenmissbrauch und antisemitischen Äußerungen gesperrt und hast den Vermittlungsausschuss beendet. Ich habe keine Sockenpuppe, sondern schreibe lediglich auf meiner Seite, dass ich vor langer Zeit mal einen anderen Benutzernamen hatte, an den ich mich nicht erinnere. Das habe ich freiwillig geschrieben und finde es sehr ärgerlich, wenn mir daraus jemand einen Strick drehen will. Zudem finde ich den Vorwurf, ich hätte antisemitische Äußerungen gemacht, unerhört. Ich habe sogar schon Holocaustüberlebende zu Gedenkfeiern in Konzentrationslager begleitet, und die haben mit Sicherheit genau so wenig wie irgend jemand Vernünftiges sonst etwas davon, wenn wikipedia von Nazis verklagt wird, weil manche Benutzer zu blöd sind zu sehen, dass es gefährlich ist, wenn wir leichtfertig lebende Personen als Antisemiten einschubladen. 217.83.115.155 10:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC) Morgenstar
 * Der Edit, den Tobnu zitierte, ist nicht akzeptabel, egal wie du die Situation drehst. sebmol 10:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Es ist nicht antisemitisch, Gaskammern zu leugnen. Es ist dumm, widerlich, was weiß ich nicht, aber antisemitisch wird es erst, wenn man sich negativ über Juden äußert. Bitte sieh es doch ein, die Diskussion kam mehrfach zu einem von einer sehr breiten Mehrheit getragenen Konsens, dass Personen nicht als Antisemiten einzukategorisieren sind und ich habe mir wirklich alle Mühe gegeben mit dem Vermittlungsausschuss, während die anderen drei nur mit Unterstellungen und schwersten Beleidigungen um sich werfen und sich jeder Diskussion verweigern. Finde ich traurig, wenn Administratoren wegen eines Bearbeitungskommentars, den sie missverstehen, solchen auf den Leim gehen. Was willst Du machen, wenn Horst Mahler einen Prozess gegen wikipedia führt? Der ist sogar Rechtsanwalt und hat sicher einen Riesenspaß, wenn er mal wieder ins Rampenlicht kommt. Christian Anders hat mit Sicherheit auch genug Geld, um ordentliche Rechtsverdreher zu organisieren, die uns in ernste Schwierigkeiten bringen. Und stell Dir erst vor, wenn sich jemand einen Spaß macht und ähnlich wie beim Fall John Seigenthaler diesmal jemand Oskar Lafontaine oder Michael Schumacher als Antisemiten einordnet. Das taucht in der Versionsgeschichte der Kategorie nicht auf, ist also sehr schwer zu überwachen. 217.83.112.67 10:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Es wird immer besser, tinz sperrte Charly Genau, offenbar weil er ihn für eine Sockenpuppe von mir hielt. Das ist nicht zutreffend, wie an den IP Nummern nachprüfbar sein sollte. Ich halte das für eine perfide Taktik von jemand, der mich diskreditieren will, indem er sich schnell mit einem neuen Namen registriert und dann Bearbeitungen macht, die den Anschein machen sollen, als kämen sie von mir. Ich bitte zu überprüfen, ob Charly Genau die gleich IP hat wie einer der Benutzer Braveheart, Penta, Unscheinbar oder Jesusfreund, die alle sehr aggressiv und beleidigend auftreten, letztere beide auch in sehr ähnlicher Weise.

I'm guilty of most of your 10 signs of spending too much time here. I was just about to go to bed (it's after 2 AM), so I'll respond more tomorrow. Thanks for offering to help. I'm mostly interested in the German Wikipedia practice relating to CFD criteria, intersection categories, category duplication in parents and children, people by nationality, where you draw the line between POV and NPOV categories,...  Most of this relates to my involvement with writing Category intersection and plans to start tagging categories by type. -- Samuel Wantman 10:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I've started a discussion on my talk page. Thanks. Samuel Wantman 20:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Beneidenswerter Fleiß. Bedenkst du auch, dass ihr langsam auf mich fixiert seid? Viel Feind viel Ehr... Sind es nicht zumeist international übliche Kategorien, die du weglöschst?... Und sooft habt ihr micht nicht gesehen... Im Übrigen bin ich auf commons nur unter Wst tätig. Das sei dem Strebenden ins Stammbuch geschrieben. Viel Spaß noch --Wst 11:31, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikimedia Stories Project
My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at vgrigas@wikimedia.org or responding on my talk page.

thank you,
