 * Welcome Estonia! Victuallers (talk) 07:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your many recent contributions. Are you at Wikimania? I'm talking about the project on the Saturday and will be mentioning our work Victuallers (talk) 12:20, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

No, I'm not. Wow, I'm getting famous wikiwise. =) --Tappinen (talk) 16:14, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

oops: Sorry for losing stuff Ill go and find out which idiot did it (probably me!) Victuallers (talk) 16:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for checking the graph - and so quiclly, I will see if I can match up the colours. The diffeent orthographies is not something we knew about when we designed it. I think we have to keep them distinct or someone may want to claim each Belerusian article twice. Victuallers (talk) 07:03, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Re: British Rail Research Division
Thanks for the warning about plagiarism of this article. I have contacted the author of the website in question. Sorry for the delay in replying. The article is much as I wrote it from personal recollection. Although there is now an extensive website there little in the literature about the early years. I have recently found an extensive history by Alistair Gilchrist but not had time to improve the Wiki article.Chevin (talk) 16:32, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Nice to have you back to chat with and you have a mate (we hadnt thought about having buddys - I'll get back to you). Do claim 7 points for the template. It looks good. The Gibraltar article looks awesome. I can't remember having an FA! I am thinking about upping the prize for the competition... as its going so well.

Disambiguation link notification for September 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Great Siege Tunnels, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crowbar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Trafalgar Cemetery challenge
This Sunday is the Battle of Trafalgar commemoration day - there will be an annual commemoration event in Trafalgar Cemetery in Gib. It would be great if we could get a 5x expansion done in time for the article to be ready for DYK for that day. Could you see what you can do with it? Prioryman (talk) 23:38, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

and again

Finnish Article Titles
Hi Tappinen, I spent yesterday trying to work out how far we are with creating the plaques for the buildings in Gibraltar. They are like the Monmouth plaques but we have labelled them in English and a language chosen from those available. The reason we are choosing to have two languages is the people should see the two titles and hopefully realise that more languages are available. This perfect plan is spoiled? because correctly "Gibraltar" is still "Gibraltar" in other languages. We can make this work by using Hindi or Japanese. I'm not encouraging you to "invent" a translation. As its "John Mackintoshin aukio" then thats fine!. sorry for confusing you. I have updated the plaque list here ... Victuallers (talk) 14:07, 24 October 2012 (UTC) (I updated the message above so it made more sense)

Hi Tappinen ... are you OK? Victuallers (talk) 20:08, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, brilliantly. Been traveling a bit recently. --Tappinen (talk) 22:52, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Catalan culture challenge
Hello! I've seen that you joined the Gibraltarpedia challenge and I just wanted to inform you that From March 16 to April 15 we will be organising the Catalan Culture Challenge, a Wikipedia editing contest in which victory will go to those who start and improve the greatest number of articles about 50 key figures of Catalan culture. You can take part by creating or expanding articles on these people in your native language (or any other one you speak). It would be lovely to have an experienced player like you on board. We look forward to seeing you! Amical Wikimedia--Kippelboy (talk) 08:59, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Gran Guerra Irmandiña

 * There is not confusion. There were two Irmandiños revolts, the made by Irmandade Fusquenlla (1431), and the Gran Guerra Irmandiña (1466-1469). This article talks about the second one, and rather than just a revolt, was a great conflict. It's for that reason that the information on the Irmandiños revolts are divided into three articles.--Breogan2008 (talk) 08:18, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation. I know I did not know enough to change anything, that is what talk pages are for. --Tappinen (talk) 08:30, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey! Just wanted to say I really appreciate the work you have done on Finnish writers lately, very nice! Greetings from across the Baltic Sea, Yakikaki (talk) 19:41, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Africa Destubathon
Hi, thanks for your work so far! Can you do me a favour though and always add every entry you do to the main list here as well as the entries page, regardless if yet approved or not as that's the master list of all articles being done. It's just very time consuming for me to be judging the articles, trying to contribute myself and chasing up what people have done and filling it out for people each time. So if you can take care of that this would be a great help, there's some part filled out ones underneath so you just need to add country, article name and then your username. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * OK. --Tappinen (talk) 03:57, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Government of Finland. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Attribution is also required when copying prose from one Wikipedia article to another. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:22, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I try to learn this. I agree the definitions from suomi.fi must be properly attributed, but I still struggle to see what content in Government of Finland comes from Judicial system of Finland. I'll make some searches to identify  it. --Tappinen (talk) 14:43, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * So was the error with Judicial system, that I used template "Main article", when "Details" would have been more appropriate ? --Tappinen (talk) 21:37, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:29, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for invitation! I may be quite busy in November, but I tried to do my bit by adding the description to wikidata for all Finnish women in the list. I hope it helps others to find a suitable subject. --Tappinen (talk) 10:27, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hi Tappinene! Thank you for the ping and the update! I've sent an email to Amical Wikimedia's members list informing about this challenge. Hope some of the volunteers join the challenge. I wish you best luck. Are you promoting it via social media or similar? We'd like to endorse and publicly spread the project. Tell me if so :-)--ÀlexHinojo (talk) 08:05, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Forgot to reply: We are advertising in Facebook - in Finnish! I am also writing a summary for the Wikimedia Fi blog, around 15th Nov (so we can say how it goes so far). The Euskara editors are really taking this with enthusiasm, they even have made their own banner! But no native English speakers I would be aware of. --Tappinen (talk) 21:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
