Image:Map Trans-Siberian railway.png
Hi Stefan,

I was just curious to know which software and cartographical data you used to draw the Trans-Siberian railway map ? Anything publically available ? About the map itself, do you think it would be possible to add the other 2 routes (Trans-Mongolian and Trans-Manchurian), as well as add the names of a few cities along the way, or would that be too much ? Thanks in advance ! Schutz 10:32, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi Schutz, I write my Dissertation and have not so much time. I use the Standard-Data from ArcGis 9.0 and digitise the railway-line with a map from the internet. I don't add the name of the capitals, because so every language can use this image. If you send me a map from Trans-Mongolian and Trans-Manchurian I can add this in the future, when I have time. -- Stefan Kühn 16:09, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Thankyou for wikipedia Google Earth dumps
Hi Stefan. I just thought I'd leave you a note to say thankyou for the dumps of all the Wikipedia points in Google Earth format. I keep it in the My Places folder in Google Earth all the time. It's good for noticing towns that are lacking in coverage in Wikipedia. Eventually, when I have coded or written articles for enough places, it will clearly show how development in rural Australia follows the highways. Great job. --Scott Davis Talk 09:49, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Data entry complete
Stefan, I've now finished pushing the data for the first city/town dataset into Wikipedia. See Special:Contributions/The_Anomebot2 for a log of the articles touched. -- The Anome 22:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Update: I've now added many more entries, fixed some bugs which were making the heuristics over-strict, aded extra categories such as lakes, islands and mountains, and also merged entries from the de: geodata down to dm level using your dataset (I have not yet merged the dms-precision data). This means the en: Wikipedia now has approximately 15,000 more geotags than before. -- The Anome 14:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Greetings
Hello Stefan. I'm Julian. We met at TU-Dresden on last Wikipedia meeting (02.10.2006). I was collaborating fixing the geographical links of the Spanish Wikipedia. Bye ! Julian Mendez 16:13, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for greetings. :-) -- sk 19:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Adding?
Hello, Stefan. I would like to ask, whether i could add the information about localities in Lithuania over 100 inhabitants, including into your site? Many of those localities are on the way to be covered in Lithuanian Wiki, however, other languages are much less developped. What you think about it? CD


 * Please, make a Category:Coordinates_templates in LT. So I can see which templates you use in Lithuanian Wiki. I will extract then also the LT-Dump. We work for a internatinal dataset, which we can translate in all languages. See de:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/Wikipedia-World (Sorry at moment only german.) -- sk 20:02, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

planimeter picture
Hi Stefan. The image page says that the planimeter picture here was uploaded by you. Did you take the picture? If not, do you know where you got it and/or who took it?

I'm asking because I work at a correspondence high school; I'm putting together some curriculum materials, in which I wanted to use the picture. According to the GDFL, I need to credit the author, so I want to make sure I've got the right person!

Also, if you are the author -- could you give me explicit permission to use it with attribution? The GDFL is a little weird for text stuff (it's meant to be used for software), and, again, I'm trying to make sure I've got everything right.

Thanks! NoahB 20:54, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes it is my picture. Now there is a description at the commons picture . -- sk 15:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Swiss town format for coordinates
Following your post on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates&diff=137436766&oldid=137003574 Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates]: Can you suggest a preferred format? I'd agree to update Template:Infobox Swiss town. Currently, it uses nd=,nm=,ed=,em= which dates from when templates couldn't transclude other templates. (e.g. lat_d=, lat_m= or coord= or coordinates= { {coor .. ).

In the meantime (until the next update), and if it isn't done yet, I 'd be glad if you'd parse the ones we already use. -- User:Docu


 * As I've already replied elsewhere, the standard terms are "latitude" & "longitude"; or "coordinates". Or simply use coord, which Stefan (and other organisations, such as Google Earth) have already agreed to parse). 21:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)Andy Mabbett

#Standardize names for coordinate variables in template namespace
You might want to look into the above proposal. BTW any chance that the most useful tool at gets updated? I used it to fix a few infoboxes and would be glad to see their state. -- User:Docu


 * We make every 6 or 8 weeks a update if a new dump is available. But at the moment there is a big problem with the toolserver. -- sk 14:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Tibetan places on the wiki map
Hi I've recently been adding the Tibetan towns and villages to wikipedia complete with coordinates. However the titles of the new villages I have been adding aren't showing on the wiki mini atlas in the globe. If you look at Tibet on the map only the larger places like Lhasa, Dhingri, Shigatse, Golmud etc are showing when it ought to show the titles of smaller places like Alamdo, Azog, Baicang etc and tens of others i have been adding when you zoom in. PLease can you help me because I am trying to draw up a detailed map of Tibet as I add these articles but they are just not registering as places on the map ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦       "Talk"? 09:38, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello SPECTRE, the data for the WikiMiniAtlas will not be updated live. We must scan the last dump from EN-Wikipedia and then we create the files for the WikiMiniAtlas. The current scan is from August, so the coordinates from Tibet are not inside this dataset. The next update will be started in some weeks. -- 89.50.230.167 20:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Parsing of infobox lake by Templatetiger
It appears that the coordinates held by a template in a field "coords = { {coor at dms|59|59|N|179|59|W|type:waterbody_region:ZZ}}" aren't extracted. Is there a way to do this? Most lakes have coordinates (WT:GEO), but these aren't shown .. -- User:Docu


 * Where do you want the extracted coordinates? Inside Templatetiger? Inside Wikipedia-World? At the moment the TT can only scan the first level of templates. If a template inside a other template, it can not extract. The perl-code for this extracting is very complex. I was very happy to scan only the first level right. Maybe in the next weeks I have time to build a new version. But never change a running system :-) -- sk (talk) 14:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Mainly Wikipedia-World (I guess this is where para gets them for his tools (e.g. GeoGroupTemplate). I suppose Wikipedia-World is based on template-tiger. Personally I already check template-tiger by querying directly infobox lake, but e.g. coor at dms doesn't render much for lakes. -- User:Docu


 * No, for Wikipedia-World I use a special programm. This extract nearly all templates and infoboxes with coordinates. In the last time I have not update this programm. But in the next weeks I will reprogramming the script and then it will also extract this infobox. - We (Kolossos and I) use the interwikis. If a german article has a coordinate and the english not, then we use the coordinate also for the english Wikipedia-World. So we have more coordinates. -- sk (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Great, good to know it will be updated. I did find that the articles with a German version do show up, but e.g. Lac de Taney hasn't. BTW en-wiki is currently running a another dump, let's hope it runs through. -- User:Docu

Ad:Wikiprojekt:Check Wikipedia

 * [#bodyContent Ad:Wikiprojekt:Check Wikipedia]

Hi. How do I mark some uses of syntax as valid (so that it won't show up on next update)? E.g. all uses of HTML list elements in current and previous update on pl-wiki are valid. AFAIK you can't do something like that with wikilists:  abc 1  ab de  abc 1 finish abc 2 

Also listing articles in which first letter of a category is small is pointless as we have a JS Gadget that fixes this kind of issues. And so all those things will be fixed and when someone or some bot will edit those articles.

Best Regards, Nux (talk) 19:01, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

BTW, almost all (if not all) of the articles shown in the section "Break square not correct" are actually valid - they are either in &lt;source lang="ada"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
 * the same as &lt;source ...&gt;...&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

--Nux (talk) 19:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello Nux, you can not mark some article for the next update. Only I can change the script. Maybe at the weekend I can do this. At the momement my script don´t work correct with "nowiki". I will fix it in the next time. -- sk (talk) 20:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

About lowercase categories. I imagine that some people might want to use e.g.  as "x86" is supposed to be lowercase, and Category:x86 microprocessors itself has a lowercase title thanks to lowercase. Unforutnately, I couldn't find any specific policy in Categorization. But even if it's wrong in en.wp lowecase categories might be "valid" in other projects. —AlexSm 14:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

"Check Wikipedia" and br
First, I would like to point out that WikiProject Check Wikipedia is missing a link to some centralized discussion page. —AlexSm 14:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

In this discussion most people agreed that "incorrect" br's are not really incorrect for MediaWiki, and not worth fixing by itself. The question is, would it be possible to exclude some "low-priority errors" from the page, at least maybe on per-project basis? —AlexSm 14:18, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Stefan,

I saw you created the Wiki clean up on afrikaans wikpedia, and I was wondering how can i create one on Deitsch (pdc) wikipedia? The wikipedia is a bit messy and I would really like to improve it. Du kann auch mit mich ein bisschen deutsche sprechen.

Check Wiki -- within
Decided I would clean up something simple like ... but quickly ran into the necessary 's within. QUESTION: Is there an approved Wikipedia alternative for with s (indented quote with paragraph breaks)? Proofreader77 (talk) 21:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)is


 * FOLLOW-UP: I see that blockquote with inside can be replaced with {{quote| ... using blank lines instead of html. Is {{quote ... the preferred Wikipedia style (rather than blockquote)? I.E., Are you going to program the checker to allow inside blockquote? :) Proofreader77 (talk) 22:17, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see ... NOTE: I've moved my question to de:Benutzer_Diskussion:Stefan_Kühn/Check_Wikipedia. Thanks. Proofreader77 (talk) 22:38, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Is it necessary to shrink the Red Army
I was just wondering where the idea of determining that all headings should start ==xxx== came from? It seems a bit like chopping one of your legs off before entering a race. Clearly if editors are to get the maximum effectiveness of a choice in sizes, it is hard to see how the exclusion of =x= could be championed?Harrypotter (talk) 21:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello Harrypotter, this is not my idea. See here: "For example, in HTML, H2 elements should follow H1 elements, H3 elements should follow H2 elements, etc. Content developers should not "skip" levels (e.g., H1 directly to H3). Do not use headings to create font effects; use style sheets to change font styles for example." . In Wikipedia the Pagename "Polish-Soviet War" is the H1 headline, all other headlines must begin with H2 and this means "==xxx==". -- sk (talk) 03:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Anyway i need to list code blocks in pages outside ns0 (so wikipedia:, help:, template:, project:, user:, every talk page), because every code block outside ns0 could be a script used to help the wiki grow, therefore potentially a bot script or at least something that, if found, could be reused, maybe on another wiki.
