DMOZ ELs
I see that you've been adding DMOZ external links to articles. In general, I think these should be avoided in wikipedia given the nature of DMOZ. Please let me know if this has been discussed before and how I might find such discussions. Thanks. --Ronz 16:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I have reformatted (not added) a number of existing external links to ODP categories using Template:dmoz which most of the ODP links already use. Links to appropriate web directory categories are specifically mentioned in WP:EL, so the nature of the Open Directory would recommend rather than preclude such a link (the ODP category in question needs to have enough content, of course.) Tschild 17:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick response. That's fine.  I removed it from Scientific_visualization, which needs some serious EL cleanup as is.  I can't recall ever seeing another dmoz link, but I'll take them case by case from now on.  Thanks again. --Ronz 20:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello, are you the ISBN guy?
Are you by any chance Tomas Schild of isbn-check.com? If so I've a couple of questions! Thanks, EdJohnston


 * Yes, I am Tschild 17:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello, glad you're here! You may be aware that our Special:booksources page invokes isbn-check.de, if the reader wants to do a validity check. We are looking at what might be needed to support ISBN-13s on Wikipedia. The current version of your checker only does ISBN-10.  Do you have any advice for us?  Thanks. EdJohnston 21:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I plan on supporting ISBN-13 on isbn.check.com/.de some time next week - in any case before the end of the year when ISBN-10 become invalid. Something to do over the holidays ;) Tschild 22:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks again Tom (we have jsut had an email exchange to the same effect). Rich Farmbrough, 10:52 20 December 2006 (GMT).
 * I have now implemented ISBN-13 testing (OK/not OK) but there are still some extensions to be done (Esperanto version not yet updated; ISBN-13 for an ISBN-10; ISBN-10 for a 978... ISBN-13) Tschild 01:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:Complex systems
Thank you for your contribution to the complex system article in the past. Currently there is a Call for Deletion for the associated Category:Complex systems covering this interdisplinary scientific field. If you would like to contribute to the discussion, you would be very welcome. Please do this soon if possible since the discussion period is very short. Thank you for your interest if you can contribute. Regards, Jonathan Bowen 14:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

books-by-isbn
Many months ago your site, http://www.books-by-isbn.com/, was placed on the Spam blacklist, for reasons that didn't seem to make much sense. Repeatedly, different editors tried to get the decision reversed; at last, we have succeeded. You may find the linked discussion useful, to help you avoid accidentally doing something that gets you on the list, and to help deal with it if it happens.

My request was specific to the one site; others, like isbn-check.com, may still be blacklisted. Note that organizations share lists, so prohibition here propagates outside Wikipedia and other MediaWiki sites. --KSmrqT 21:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello KSmrq - thanks for the information (and for requesting that removal). I wasn't aware of my site being blacklisted but now I understand why I could not edit the page for books-by-isbn.com over at aboutus.org - apparently that site uses not only the MediaWiki software but also the MediaWiki blacklist.

Template:Dmoz
Hello. I see your vote at the Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_December_15. Can you vote ( or  ) on page —  ru:Википедия:К_удалению/5_февраля_2008

Best regards, nejron (talk) 12:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'd need to justify my vote there, and I cannot do that in Russian. The vote does seem to go towards 'keep' anyway. Thank you for the heads-up, though. Tschild (talk) 13:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, thank you for your attention. Best regards, nejron (talk) 15:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Open Directory Project (DMOZ) Links
The DMOZ search template (Dmoz2) is being considered for deletion because it violates WP:ELNO #9. I'm sending you this notice because of your previous participation in the TfD discussion for the DMOZ category template. Anyone interested in discussing the fate of Open Directory Project (DMOZ) search links is invited to join the discussion at Templates for deletion. Thank you.

Name

 * Dear Tschild, thank you again for your persistent effort! I think, it's great.


 * I've noticed that in the last Spiegel article the assailant is actually called Alexander rather than Alex. I have to say, I'm not too happy with the current use of "Alex W." throughout the text. I guess it must be a German style. The British convention for contraction (cf. abbreviation) is not to use a dot. I would like to consistently use (both) the following Alexander W and W (sic [italic]]). What do you think? Yours, Mootros (talk) 11:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Alex W. is a German style (and I believe also one possible British style as it's an abbreviation not a contraction, being a single letter). You can change it if you consider it correct - it would look a bit strange to me, I must confess. The one Russian-language source on the case (Russian Newsweek) that I have looked up says Aleks not Aleksandr btw. It will probably become moot in a few weeks as when the defendant is named in open court the international (but not the German) press will report his full name and some international Wikipedian (not me - I'll abide by the German use but not revert others' addition) will insert the full name. Tschild (talk) 12:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply. Have a look here and here. Btw, a single letter can be both abbreviation or contraction. I see your point about the international issue. Probeably best just to leave it for the time being than. Mootros (talk) 12:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Dear Tschild, Happy New Year and happy writing. Unfortunately, I've missed the GA review as I was on a Sabbatical at the time. I've aleady made some changes following the comments and will rewrite the lead at some stage over the next few days. I was wondering about this:
 * "This was denied by a separate panel that had ruled on this motion." could do with a CITE

I think you translated this one. Would you remember where the "separate pannel" came from? Mootros (talk) 16:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

GA nomination of Murder of Marwa El-Sherbini
Dear Tschild,

The article Murder of Marwa El-Sherbini is currently GA reviewed (2nd time, after I missed the first one) and placed on hold. I've done most of the suggested changes. Perhaps if you have some time --within the next days-- you couldlook at the remaining issues in section 2 on "factually accurate and verifiable". Just a few quotes and some general checks on my changes today. Many thanks. I'm sure it should be fine to get this through the GA. Yours, Mootros (talk) 22:43, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ All done.

Barnstars!

 * I saw your edit on Dorothy Must Die and saw that you do a lot of minor edits along with major edits. Editors that make the minor edits that you do are often overlooked (although I see someone gave you a well-deserved Janitor barnstar!) so I just wanted to do something nice!

Disambiguation link notification for February 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited An Leabhar Mòr, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gaelic ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/An_Leabhar_M%C3%B2r check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/An_Leabhar_M%C3%B2r?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
