Bodenhausen
Hi... thanks for creating H.O.'s page. I wanted to made that translation last year myself whilst improving the article of Bodenhausen to improve the incoming links. I stopped in any case because I could not publish the draft of Bodenhausen's page with only one Ph.D. listed in the infobox. But than I had other problems to solve and I forgot.

Since you probably know Oschkinat, and I think he is a nice guy (he was also a member of Thesis commitee), could you ask him if he has a picture of Bodenhausen? I've asked Lyndon Emsley, I have asked Bodenhausen himself, but no success so far. I wanted also to ask Di Bari in Pisa but I didn't know where is office was when i visited briefly the new department. Long story short, If I could have a original picture of Bodenhausen, than maybe I can publish that current draft.

Well, actually I have some problems because certain sources give different details than in reality and that's also one of the reason why I stopped before publishing it, but maybe if I have that image I can be motivated to speed up and fix it.

Thank you and sorry for bothering you. Have a nice wiki!--Alexmar983 (talk) 15:01, 5 March 2017 (UTC)


 * @Alexmar983: I've asked HO for a photo, he said he has a physical one that I can scan; if he brings it I will scan and upload it. Someone else said that they have a photo, but taken about 20 years ago and apparently Bodenhausen was shown pushing a car, so not sure if that would be reasonable for the Wikipedia page. I am also tracking down some photos that were taken at a German NMR meeting that was attended by Bodenhausen. Hopefully I will have good news soon! --Selkie upsilon (talk) 11:50, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Nice. I miss the NMR conferences since a while, I mainly did those articles because I was outside of the business. Now I am back, but I am more focus on my work and i haven't had any chance to take new decent pictures. I want actually to do something more structured and meaningful than creating articles of biographies, let's hope some professor will agree one day to go in that direction. In any case, just to be sure, please select mainly images shot in public places. In most of the countries it is legal to take a picture of someone at a public event, especially when he is invited. Of course, I don't expect anyone of those profs protesting in a court, just want to be as sure as possible about commons sysop.
 * Tell HO he was lucky maybe, I was thinking of asking one of his pictures to a friend of mine, Stefan, an old guy in his group. Not sure about that quality would have been, in the end. Please thank him again for his help.--Alexmar983 (talk) 12:37, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Jurors for WikiScienceCompetition 2017
From our last interasction, I know you are a post doc there in Germany, and I might need your profile.

Have you heard about the next WSC? germany does not have a national jury, but many other big countries do and it is quite big.

I am looking for expert active wikimedia users with academic background and some bibliometric record (so I can prepare their wikidata items) to work as jurors for the next Wiki Science Competition. We still miss people from countries without a national jury.

Would you like to join? the more jurors I have, the faster is the process. Like two afternoon of works.

The jurors are not supposed to be all wikimedians, but we wish to promote the use of the images on the platforms and show that there is a continuum between the wiki-world and the academia. At the same time, I want the jurors to show they are involved in the peer-reviewed process, so the uploaders can see they are students and researchers like them.

You might get some visibility in exchange (the site will receive thousands of visits). And it should be fun.

Let me know. The event starts on 01/11/2017 or two weeks later. We can define the last details of the jury during the month of November, but we'd like to be almost ready in two weeks, in order to provide the challengers with a rough idea of the composition of the juries.

In any case, we can contact you next time if you are still interested but you can't join this time.Also if you can spread the news around in your working environment, that would be great!

Regards.--Alexmar983 (talk) 04:48, 21 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the slow response. Unfortunately I have just seen your message -- I was travelling for 2 weeks with patchy internet access. I know of the WSC but have not paid lots of attention to it before. If it is not too late to join, I am happy to help, though want to know a bit about the deadlines for the contest -- when judging need to start and be completed etc. Cheers.--Selkie upsilon (talk) 16:00, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * It's ok. Well I can put you as second-level juror but give you less workload. In the end there are not a lot pictures because it is difficult to have a banner. So I can take your help when Europe ends (beginning of December), when Asia ends (end of December), or when Africa ends (beginning of January). Otherwise, you can inform the people at your university somehow, that would also help sice I can't get a banner-sitenotice in Germany. Send me an email.--Alexmar983 (talk) 02:50, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry if this is a stupid question... how do I find your email? --Selkie upsilon (talk) 16:43, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a very useful question for you in the future actually. Go to my user page and find on the left column "Email this user". Done!--Alexmar983 (talk) 04:55, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Ok you don't have a registered email (in the "Preferences") here so as a result I can receive your message but I can't reply, so even if I have enough information to understand who you are, please resend with your preferred email (professional or personal) in the text ok? To unswer, no we have no flyer and I have asked for it, but you know it takes many editions and experience to do things properly... I was busy with the jury, and now with the information campaign and creating ex nihilo a social media campaign so I have no time to make one.

I go to dinner (I work in China), I answer to you later ok? Thank you!--Alexmar983 (talk) 10:15, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Selkie upsilon, and welcome to Women in Red. I see that over the years you have created a couple of biographies of men. It's good to hear you now you intend to concentrate on women in science. In this connection, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into difficulties or need any assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:02, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

File:Logo of Leibniz-FMP from 2017.svg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

File permission problem with File:HartmutOschkinat SFB1078.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:HartmutOschkinat SFB1078.jpg, which you've attributed to Michael Fahrig. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax «¦talk¦» 08:31, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
