Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice work on the Square dance article. Cheers! --maveric149

I love the changes you made to my paragraph in the article Square dance! Now that the paragraph is more meaningful, perhaps we should move it to Western square dance, and leave only a brief summary sentence in Square dance? David 08:22 Sep 4, 2002 (PDT)

Bienvenue and thanks for adding yourself to Wikipedians/Queer! - user:Montrealais

Hey Dan!

Another Dan, or Daniel, here. I also used to live in the US and now live in London, England, and also in a registered Civil Partnership. Ain't life grand? I am especially interested in your page on 'Black Order', as I just finished 'Map of Bones' for the third time and have the time to start another of this great author's work. Thank you for your contributions here at Wiki!

Bear Hugs,

Daniel

Category:Plants
Hi Sfdan - could you hold fire on adding until all the discussion of what categories to add where are sorted (see lengthy discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life) - Thanks, MPF 21:02, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Danish wikipedians' notice board
You have shown an interest in Denmark or Danish related topics in the past, so I invite you to have a look at Danish wikipedians' notice board. It is a tool to help people interested in Denmark post articles they'd like to see, and to keep track of the existent coverage of Denmark. It can also serve as a place to address concerns regarding any aspect of Danish coverage on the english wikipedia. Hope you find it useful! In any case, could you please look at it and fill in any articles you know of that are not covered by the list? Thanks,

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Dogmatic edits
Hi. Just in case you haven't noticed yet, in re Council of Chalcedon, there's no need to write dogmatic, since dogmatic will do the same thing (the whole word, including -tic at the end, will appear as a clickable link. Similarly, hypenated, Australian, dogs, logical , etc. Michael Hardy 02:18, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Category:Gay travel destinations
Hi - I see you've created a category for gay-friendly travel destinations. Rather than use a category for this, what would you think about using a list? I suspect most (if not all) of the places you've added to the category are better known for many more reasons than gay-friendliness and adding them to this category implies a significance that I think is not warranted. There's a slight POV-ism involved as well (what does it mean for a place NOT to be in this category?). If there's a purely objective way to describe membership (for example, places self identifying as "safe for gays" by adopting the inverted pink triangle) then I think a category would be appropriate. I don't think any subjective criteria really cuts it. What do you think? -- Rick Block 20:21, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Response posted to User talk:Rick Block at.21:00, 27 Feb 2005

FYI: There is already an article that includes a list of gay resorts at Gay village, and there is also the Category:Gay villages (which needs to be filled up more). I only noticed your Gay travel destinations Category because you added Long Beach, California (which is on my watchlist) to the category. I can tell you that although Long Beach has a fairly large but rather low profile gay population, it's not much of a gay tourist destination except for their Gay Pride Parade and Festival. For more information, there are some comments about the appropriateness of a "gay village" designation for Long Beach at Talk:Gay village.

Personality
Hello, I just wanted to say that I checked out your website and I find it amazing to run into someone who is American but has spent a considerable amount of time in Denmark, is gay, and also into leather/uniforms. Keep up the good work :) Páll 22:01, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Clogging (and other comments)
In my 20's, when I was living in San Diego, California, I would sometimes going out dancing 6 nights a week. I was doing country dancing (including a little teaching), east-coast swing, street hustle, some occasional ballroom and Latin dancing, some basic rock n'roll, and for about three years, some clogging as well. The clogging was lots of fun, but also lots of exercise. Now that it's ?? years later, I've wanted to write a Wikipedia article on clogging, but it would take some serious digging for me to do it right since it has been so long since I've done any clogging (I hate seeing half-assed stubs on the Wikipedia and refuse to write one myself). So far all I've done is a little work on the Country/western dance, including expanding the description of clogging in that article.

re: Columbia Fun Maps site/Long Beach: If you had followed their link to Long Beach, you would have found that the article was mostly about Laguna Beach (which is about a 45 minute drive from Long Beach). Although you wouldn't know it, the very shitty map on that page doesn't even include the main streets where most of the gay businesses in Long Beach are (and I know that at least one of the two businesses that are shown on that map was torn down about a year ago and is now a drug store). If their Long Beach page is any example, I wouldn't trust anything from that website.

re: Category:Gay travel destinations: I've seen some real hostility in the CfD voting to anything gay-oriented, so I am not surprised at some of the votes and comments. In this case, however, I do think that the information is more appropriate for an annotated list rather than a category. A category only for those tourist destinations that are strongly identified as gay resorts, such as Fire Island and Provincetown might work better, but might also be too small for a category.

Danish Cuisine
I added the concept of a morgenbord to the Breakfast section of Danish cuisine. But I also wanted to consult with you and see if you don't think that ham and sausages should be removed from the part of Breakfast that deals with Denmark.--SVTCobra 30 June 2005 23:26 (UTC)

Thanks, for your quick reply. I am still skeptical, however. In my time in Denmark (1975-1986), I don't remember meat as part of breakfast. . . ever. I do know to not lump in all of Denmark with my own experiences. Traditions can vary a great deal from family-to-family and region-to-region. But I am going to Denmark in a couple of weeks for my Grandmother's 90th birthday, so I'll make a note to ask about meat as a part of breakfast. This discussion has brought me memories of things like Røget Ål med Røræg. I can't wait for my trip.

Reference section move reversion on Kerteminde municipality article
Hey, thanks for your note. WP:CITE must contradict itself somewhere, because what I found in there supports my view: "If there is a separate section under the ==External links== heading (see below), it should come after ==References==." I am of course interested in any evidence that my understanding if wrong. Feel free to stick with your ordering, though. If I ever accidentally reorder an article you are looking after, just revert me. Rl 15:22, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

regional variations
Nice work organizing the increasingly chaotic section on the hotdog article. When I started the section, I was hoping it would be this popular, I just didn't realize it would end up so cluttered. Bravo, Sfdan. Youngamerican 12:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Danish municipalities
Hej Sfdan,

Yes, it's all to easy to make typos. As you no doubt already knows, the problem was that the Ministry of the Interior preferred the new municipalities to be named after the largest town (read: the new municipalities should, if possible, use an existing name.) So in order to distinguish between e.g. the "old" Thisted municipality and the "new" municipality, we sometimes use the prefix "Ny ..." / "New ..." when speaking about the future municipalities. But these names are quickly disappearing again. I'm not the only one who prefers to speak about "den nye Kerteminde Kommune" rather that "Ny Kerteminde Kommune" which just sounds horrible. Besides, the names with the prefix were only intended to be used until the local politicians had time to settle the issue.

Take my native Funen County as an example, out of our ten new municipalities, we could actually add "New" in front of six of them (Kerteminde, Nyborg, Svendborg, Assens, Middelfart, and Bogense.) That'd never work.

But I know that quite a few maps exist using some (or all) of the temporary names. The Danish wikipedia no doubt still has articles using them. I think it'd be better if we ignore the prefix rather than make separate article on both e.g. Nyborg municipality and Ny Nyborg municipality (since one of the articles will eventually be merged with the other.) In this case, I'd prefer simply to add a line to the "Nyborg municipality" article; something like "On 1 January 2007, Nyborg municipality will be merged with the municipalities of Ullerslev and Ørbæk." and perhaps add a table showing the size and population of the "old" municipalities.

The official position seems pretty clear, as the Ministry of the Interior doesn't use the prefix (see e.g. This page has links to both a map and a list of the new municipalities so you might find that useful.

PS: If you were surprised that I wrote "Kerteminde Kommune" rather than "Kerteminde kommune", well, I just prefer the old spelling (so does the Ministry btw.). 

Happy editing.

Farum
I moved Farum to Farum Municipality because I thought it makes things clearer. Farum and Farum Municipality are quite different entities, especially with the coming municipal restructuring. I remember many months ago having a discussion on this subject, but I can't for the life  of me remember where. I would suggest that it would be best to move all 270 municipalities, but in all honesty I don't have the patience to do it myself. In some municipalities the distinction is much more important than in Farum. All in all I'm not overly committed to this, but I note that on the Danish wikipedia they have made a distinction between the kommune and the town. Peregrine981 14:39, September 9, 2005 (UTC)


 * Great. We're agreed then. Keep up the good work. I'll try to help as possible. The Danish article on Farum is quite good, so I may try to translate some sections as best I can at some point. Peregrine981 14:55, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

Thomas Quellinus
Hi Sfdan, as a user from Northern Germany I would appreaciate, if you could help us. Most sources on Thomas Quellinus are of course in Danish. I wrote together with Benutzer Concord on Lübeck articles, like Marienkirche (Lübeck), and we needed to put him in there. In principle I start a stub in en:wiki at the same time quite often, since I believe, that through this lingua franca of our times the understanding in the baltic region could be forwarded. I have read some of Your excellent articles like C.F. Hansen, so I am sure, that you are probably the one in da:wiki, that might be able to cooperate in a cross-baltic cultural network. I try to collect cross border informations on artists and their works like Bernt Notke and others and I am concerned, when, like in the case of Dieterich Buxtehude, the articles show special and very national attitudes, when you compare them.

Never the less, Thomas Quellinus seems to be very present in Danish churches and I would like to use some more information on him translated into German in de:wiki.--Kresspahl 21:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

PS: Do you have anything more from the Danish side with regard to the Danish interior designer Joseph Christian Lillie?--Kresspahl 21:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Good suggestion, I will let you know, whenever I did one.--Kresspahl 07:53, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * ...and at last: Benedikt Dreyer?--Kresspahl 21:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I tried my best with Thomas Quellinus--Kresspahl 11:26, 19 October 2005 (UTC) Joseph Christian Lillie is translated too.--Kresspahl 18:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)


 * The Thomas Quellinus article is a gerat help and I will use the information in some of the German WP articles in future. Hansen and Lillie continued to work together atleast until 1804, when Lillie finished a palais-like summer house, because Hansen had to return to Copenhagen. Do yoe know the altar of Jacob van Utrecht in Nodebo church on northern Sealand? And do you know anything about another altar from his hand, which was in a Danish collection Reedtz-Thott (this altar seems to be lost); the name Reedtz-Thott sounds very "Danish noble" to me. --Kresspahl 14:08, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Lillie will be a big help. If You find anything about Jacob van Utrecht in Denmark let me know, then I will translate him right away. The Kerckring Altar in Lübeck has a remarkable history. No one knows were it was for about 350 years, then it showed up in Riga the 2. Half of 19. Century in a private collection, the German owners had to leave Riga without, when the Russians came in WW2 and the collection was nationalized by a special law, then the nazis came "back", and the Lübeck mayor became mayor of Riga too, so they gave it as a present to Lübeck in order to please him, which had the enormous art losses because of the bomb raid short before. In 1962 the owners descendents discovered it the Lübeck museum and made their claim which was settled in the early nineties. The city gave it back to the owners and they donated it back in the same time under the condition that the city would exhibit and maintain it and do research on the history. There claim against Riga for 192 other pieces of art is still unsettled. Sort of an political art crime. I was thinking to put this story into the museums article, but if we have another mystery in Denmark with the Reedtz-Thott collections altar, I would think we gather the information with the artist and his work, especially since there not so many known pieces.--Kresspahl 16:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Benedikt Dreyer and Jacob van Utrecht are translated.--Kresspahl 11:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, I will use your further info in de:wiki soon and give you info on other German-Nordic artists.--Kresspahl 13:27, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Sfdan, may I draw your attention to da:Claus Berg or de:Claus Berg? There is no English biography yet, but he is certainly one of the important ones, especially for Denmark. So long.--Kresspahl 10:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Information inserted into my sandbox instead of my talk page
Dumped into my Square Dance sandbox by 01:24, November 7, 2006 User: Cananian Clark Baker has created a page with information on Stanley (Stan) White Winchester: 

Your square dance sandbox mentioned him but had little information. In addition to Clark's web page, there are two newspaper articles available in the Charlotte, NC newspaper archives.

Sorry about that, Dan -- I got a little lost and forgot that 'discussion' off the user page existed. Whoops! C. Scott Ananian 17:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Brown sauce
Hi there,

Is brown sauce as used in Danish cuisine essentially a variant of the French version (or vice versa)? I intend splitting the page into at least two (one for the meat-based sauce, and one for the unrelated vinegar, fruit and spice-based sauce); but there's no point in over-splitting it three ways if two of them (French and Danish) are basically the same.

Fourohfour 10:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Fourohfour, Yes the brown sauce of Danish cuisine is in the same family as the commonly-known French sauce (or "brown gravy" as one would probably say in America or England).  It is not related to the English vinegar-based sauce (we use HP sauce here in Denmark for that purpose, and know it as HP sauce).  As to whether the French or the Danish sauce came first, I wouldn't dream of venturing a guess, however I would suspect that it was the French first, as French culture (including French cuisine) has had a strong influence on Denmark.  I would not see any reason to have a separate article for the Danish variant (as opposed to the French), but I do not see a major problem in keeping the article as it is.  In my opinion it is not so long as to require a split at the moment.  If one splits it, with the present amount of information both article would be rather short and rather stub-like.  --SFDan 19:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

File source problem with File:SandbjergGods.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:SandbjergGods.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Western promenade dance


The article Western promenade dance has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
