The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)
Hi, I've set up a page, feel free to begin listing your entries on the 1000 list. Can you spread the word and alert the others? Cheers.♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:37, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Merge
I think you will find instructions on merging articles somewhere in Wikipedia. At the simplest level, it is a matter of combining the two articles, but normally it is then necessary to edit out duplicated material. In all cases with article merging, the article merged from is replaced by a Redirect to the target, but it is also necessary to check for double redirects and change them. See Merging. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:05, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you Peterkingiron for your kind answer. I'm embarrassed as I could easily have looked this up myself rather than bother you. I will do it in the coming days. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 19:20, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Baltic challenge
Hi, enough to do with Nordic region as it is haha but I vaguely remember you doing Latvian lighthouses or something. If you think you might do more articles on that region sometime or know anybody who might be interested, comments and input welcome at here.♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:26, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Blofeld! Haha, yes it suddenly became a lot... But I'm very interested, trying to increase the coverage of the Baltic states was why I started on Wikipedia in the first place – I'll sign up and hope I can find the time for it! :) Yakikaki (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * PS: I think it might be an idea to send out invitations to respective country's, i.e. Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania, project page (though I guess you've already thought about it). Yakikaki (talk) 16:03, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, the project members were notified. Perhaps it's best not to start another one for now. It does add to the workload for me because I feel compelled to keep contributing when I can to help out!♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:17, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Haha, yes that's perfectly understandable! But I'll be there when you want to in the future ;) Yakikaki (talk) 16:19, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Blofeld: Another idea, if you're anyway going to expand the Nordic challenge, is to include the Baltic states in it. It would be quite natural I think considering the strong links between the regions anyway and this way you'd be saved the extra trouble. Yakikaki (talk) 19:21, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Haha, great minds think alike! I was going to suggest the same thing. Would we change the challenge naming slightly to Nordic/Baltic, or can we get away with including those nations in nordic?♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:33, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I think it would be more correct to call it Nordic-Baltic (or why not the NB8?) since, as far as I know, neither Latvia nor Lithuania aspires to be called Nordic and the Nordic can be a bit sensitive about it. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 18:13, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

For the Nordic ones, continue adding them to the Nordsic challengre rather than the European one. Every 100 articles I'll then "tip" in the entries to the main 10,000 one, so that Swedish one can go on the Nordic one for now.

Hey man, could you add the Biography WikiProject template to the talk pages of biographies you write? You do really good work, but I think that you should try to save a wikignome or two some work by adding the Biography template.

 * Okay, I mostly retract my statements. Just had to add the bio template to some of your articles, and the listas parameter to a lot of others. -- Vami _IV  04:37, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey there, thanks for the heads up, I know I should pay more attention to the talk pages in general - I'll try to keep it in mind! Ciao, Yakikaki (talk) 17:06, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

 * It's a lovely little country with some surprising attractions, including the Baroque Old Town of Vilnius and the seaside resort of Palanga. The language is something else, though. Sca (talk) 14:19, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Haha, yes I heard about the ancient language! I've tried to learn more about Lithuania with the intention to go there but so far there's always been something else coming up. Latvia I've been a lot and Estonia I used to live in, but Lithuania has so far eluded me. Hopefully soon, though! Kaunas seems like an interesting place, too, being the former capital and all. What would be your suggestions for places to go, if I may ask? Vilnius and Palanga? Yakikaki (talk) 19:58, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, and Nida, a former fishing village which when it was part of Germany (as Nidden) became an artists' colony of sorts. It's fairly touristy nowadays, but Thomas Mann's old summer house has been restored and contains a museum about that unique area of the Curonian Spit (Kurische Nehrung). It's very close to the Russian (Kaliningrad Oblast) border.

You might also like to visit Druskininkai, down near Belarus. It has a number of attractions, including a house once occupied by the Lithuanian composer and artist Čiurlionis, a favorite of mine. (A few years ago I did quite a lot of work on our Čiurlionis article.)

I've been to Kaunas but I personally didn't find it particularly interesting.

I've read that Estonian is not any easy language, either. Latvian seems to be sort of a simplified version of Lithuanian. Sca (talk) 23:46, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

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.

 * Hello Tappinen, nice to hear from you! Sorry for the late answer. I can take a look but the only challenges I've been involved in are the Nordic and the European challenges, and only as a participant. The go-to person about challenges would be Dr Blofeldt I think, have you contacted him? Also I'm happy to participate in the challenge, as far as my abilities let me. All the best, Yakikaki (talk) 08:49, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Great! I was mainly looking for a participant's perspective so you are just the right one. Yes I wrote to Dr Blofeldt already last year. (We have been preparing this since 2015 to be sure the 100 articles in Finnish are ship-shape.) --Tappinen (talk) 09:01, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Super, I'll take a look with that perspective and write you back. Also, forgot to say – happy centenary! It's an honour to have you as neighbours! :-) Yakikaki (talk) 09:05, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi again Tappinen, I've looked at it now and I think it looks very nice, well-designed and pedagogical. The only thing that wasn't clear to me is how the list of article is intended to work, are the participants supposed to list articles they've contributed to there or is it a list of suggestions? Yakikaki (talk) 09:12, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It is a closed list. Only edits to these articles, and their translations in other languages, give you points. Thank you, I will clarify this in the instructions. --Tappinen (talk) 13:26, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

The Great Britain and Ireland Destubathon
Hi I was thinking of setting up a Great Britain vs Europe destubathon. Euro nations combined giving the UK a run for their money. If I can get enough support and possible contributors to improving articles on European counties I may consider it. might be interested, it would include Denmark, Luxembourg etc.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:04, 20 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure whether GB vs Europe would be the best approach. Why not just Continental Europe? Are you again thinking about a mainly geographical exercise? If so, it might be better to cover one country or one major region at a time, e.g. Scandinavia or German-speaking countries. Let's first of all wait for the results of GB and Ireland. There may be some lessons to be learnt.--Ipigott (talk) 14:24, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Well we won't know until something is run, I'm willing to try a range of ideas. The problem is that we largely don't have the editors to support smaller contests for non anglo world areas. Of course if I organised a Nordic destubathon or something we'd probably work out something decent. Ultimately I want to set something up so more people can run them without my input. Typically those would be continent wide ones with editors who participate in the challenges and perhaps one for the US and Australia. De-stub-athon is what I currently envisage anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello you two, nice to hear from you. I'm currently involved in a few personal projects of my own here, so I'm sorry but I wouldn't have the time for it. I'm also very busy these days with work. A note though - I do agree with Ian that it would be a bit unfortunate, given how things are in the world today, to frame any such things as a UK vs Europe thing. In any case, I wish you good luck with it. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 19:14, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank-you
Just dropping by to say thank-you for Lund astronomical clock – I'd long been curious about the history of the clock and was very glad to read a well-written and comprehensive article about it. I made a handful of minor changes as I read through which I hope you don't object to. Good luck at GAN! Wham2001 (talk) 09:31, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, thanks a lot! Your message made me really happy, I'm glad someone else is interested in that curious old timepiece. And thank you for the copy editing, it's exactly the kind of thing I always appreciate. Have a great Sunday! Yakikaki (talk) 10:46, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
