Hi. At Talk:List of works by Joseph Priestley you said on May 2 that you had a new version of the "online works" list to be uploaded, but you haven't edited the article since April. I was wondering if you still had that update at hand (or near completion)?
Underneath your thread there, I've suggested that it would be most efficacious to merge that list of external links, into the rest of the article, to prevent duplication (and confusion or missed-information for readers), in the same way that List of works of William Gibson is written. Your thoughts would be appreciated there. Thanks :) -- Quiddity ( talk) 20:42, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey I'm in the process of writing an article on vaping, the use of a personal vaporizer/e-cig, and I was wondering if you could post the references to my talk page for the in depth history you posted, it would be of much help. Thanks. Le rufus ( talk) 16:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
As I understand it, the point that you are trying to make is that the calculation of points in, for example, Decamber 2006 included calculations based on rankings in, for example December 2005, but those Dec 05 rankings were reached via the previous calculation method, not the one introduced in July 2006. Therefore any false impression about the relative strength of teams given under the old formula still has an influence. Is that a correct reading of your intention?
Assumming that to be the case, I would be uncertain about the merit in including it.
Even leaving aside such issues, I would suggest that it can be said rather more simply and clearly than "The updated calculation methods were implemented by FIFA on a forward progress; meaning that they only replaced the previous method starting from a certain month, and never were used by FIFA to calculate new points and rankings for the past. Thus, the historical charts of each nations FIFA ranking since 1993, are drawed upon all three calculation methods; the first from August 1993 until December 1998, the second from January 1999 until June 2006, and the third since July 2006."
If we assume that the uncertainties in my second paragraph can be overcome, is there anything essential missing from the much simpler phrasing that I introduced: "The updated calculations remained partially dependent on rankings calculated under earlier forms of calculation. " I'm not totally happy about the repetition of the word "calculations" there, maybe "After each change in the formula, positions calculated under the previous method retained an influence in the ranking." I believe that both of these include the relevant points, ar more proportionate, and better combine clarity and conciseness.

Hi there DE, VASCO from Portugal here,
Thank you very much for your kind words and concern about my WP:FOOTY status. Indeed, i am a member of the project and edit more than i would like to - :) - at the site, more than 90% in association football. Did not know i had been added to the list of members nor that i had been removed from it but yes, my account name has been changed after an admin thought it could/should be done. I am not aware if it's an indispensable condition that you sign up to that list, if so, what are the necessary steps?
Again, thanks for your friendly note, keep up the good work as well, and happy Xmas overall! Cheers - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 02:13, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

He Danish, that was me that changed those numbers, because I wanted to make sure that percentage points and not percentages was taken. With 100% that doesn't matter, but with 80% it is much clearer.

Your recent editing history at Latvian euro coins shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. TDL ( talk) 16:37, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
@TDL: In the past four months there have now been a few times, where you and I clashed about the WP:OR policy. In those cases where we have clashed, I admit to have applied a backwords approach, where I started out to state the facts as I knew it was the WP:TRUTH. I have always seen such uploads as part of a process, where we were continously working to find sources and improve the articles. So my uploads were not ment to be unsourced forever, but something where it could be possible for me (or another editor) at a later stage to return and add the needed source. I admit to have been sloppy a few times not to remember adding the {{CN}} tag behind such WP:OR comments, but as all our subsequent discussions have proofed it was in each an every case subsequently possible to find the needed references to back my claims. Just to name the most recent examples, this is true for: 1) When Vaclav Havel had refused signing the ESM amendment treaty, 2) When the Czech PM was not prepared to join Fiscal Compact before such a thing had been explicitly approved by a referendum (which his TOP09 coallition partner refused), 3) When I claimed the Left-Green Movement had changed their policy now to support a completion of EU negotiations. In each of these three examples, I was able subsequently to add references that proofed my finding (which in those mentioned cases at first had been uploaded to the article as a combined WP:SYN of my own research after reading several articles in the field). Again a somewhat backwords process to you (and most editors here at Wikipedia), but this is how I work, which in most cases also should be considered a quality because I never limit myself to accept what a single source have written, but instead do a more broader research in the field on my own to learn what is really the WP:TRUTH. I appoligy to you, that I have been too sloppy to forget adding the CN tag in a couple of few cases, where I did not at first find a single direct reference suitable for the purpose and forgot to add the CN tag. I promise you in the future to improve, so that I from now on always remember to add these CN tags whenever needed.
My reply to you directly here at the articles talkpage, should really never have been posted here, but instead at your/my personal talkpage. But as your insinuated attacks against my moves and work process in general, to a great extend also has been reflected by your replies posted throughout the debate here at this articles talkpage, this now also make it appropriate for me to post my respons here (although another time I will recommend you engage with me more directly on my personal user talkpage, if you for whatever reason continue to have problems with my working process in general, instead of starting an unnecessary fuss about it by contacting administrators since February 2013 behind my back - without posting the slightest notification about your so-called general objection to my upload behaviour at my user talkpage- a general objection which by the way only entail a real objection to less than 10% of my previous uploads - and in all cases where we both have reached a final peacefull mutual agreement about the content so that the article was left in a state where your initial concerns had been fully met). As usual I assume WP:AGF on your behalf, but I have to say that your communication with me has been very clumsy, and a little too sneaky compared to a normal recommended approach here at Wikipedia. In our previous clashes, I each time asked you in the future to add a CN tag for those portions of my uploaded material you found needed a ref, instead of just removing it. Despite of that, you have never done so, and continued your practise of conducting a blindfolded removal of those parts of my uploaded material that needed an extra ref. I acknowledge it is mainly my own responsibility to add the CN tags, and not something I should leave as a task for you to do, and as stated above I will also start to be better remembering to do this in the future. Please do not take personal offence when I say this, but one of the main reasons why the atmosphere a few times in the past has developed into something experienced as tence, was because that I had forgot to add CN tags and that you also for whatever reason preferred to hit the delete tast rather than add a CN tag. We could really have avoided many clashes and a tense atmosphere, if we instead more actively has added CN tags for those parts of my upload where it was needed, in which case I would anyway have returned shortly afterwords to the page and uploaded the needed and called for reference. Our past clashes are neither black or white. We could both have acted better to prevent them. Let this be my final words in this case. Best regards, Danish Expert ( talk) 18:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I just wanted to say that I appreciate the edits you have been making to Iceland-related articles. You seem to be well informed about Icelandic affairs which is not easy if you don't know Icelandic since a lot of the news and such material available about Iceland in other languages is quite superficial and often out of context or simply wrong (hyped). I try to write about current Iceland affairs when something major happens but I’m mostly focusing on Icelandic political history (statistics, politicians, institutions etc.) these days. Your username leads me to believe that you are Danish and an expert of some sort (maybe on Iceland). I am curious to know what sources you use and what drives your interest? Unfortunately I can not write to you in Danish even though I studied it for nearly a decade. If you need anything then don’t hesitate to contact me.

Copying this over from my comments at [3]:
@TDL: Thanks for your reply, and your great effort to improve the quality of my work. From my point of view you indeed help to fix various issues, which is great, but occasionally it happens that what I intended to say with my line then gets destroyed in the process of rectifying it according to your concern. You are not doing anything wrong - it is just a matter that sometimes I accidently use a "bad chosen word" (i.e. only) for something I intended to say. The edit string you referred to above ended with you returning a new formulation using the word "introduced", which was something I fully accepted as this implied the "Fiscal Compact was build upon the shoulders of SGP and then introduced..." -which I agreed with you was an alternative and better way (in regards of ensuring source compliance) than my initial attempt of writing "Fiscal Compact budget balance rule only differes from SGP budget balance rule by..." (which was a statement being 100% true to reality, but which could not be written like that when enforcing the Wikipedia policy requirement rule you referred to, that we are only allowed to report content claims within a 100% match of saying the same stuff as provided for by the formulation of the listed source). I fully accepted the end solution for that case, by subsequently leaving your correction undisputed.
In regards of your concern, that I perform a lot of WP:PLAG around Wikipedia, I can tell you this is not the case. My uploads to Wikipedia has been limited to a very few articles, and I tend mainly only to upload to the same EU-related articles already listed on your watch-list. Each time when you edit my uploads, I carefully read through what you write. If I object to something then this in 99% of the times is clearly reflected by my edit-summary. I never ignore your corrections, or try to sneak in something which is not provided for. Surely I also occasionally make an edit mistake. My mistake rate is however not as grave as you fear/claim. I surely listen to your arguments, which my correction fix of your recently flagged WP:PLAG concern is a clear proof for. Your discovered WP:PLAG problem was related to 3 content points all written by me around the same time (in a process where I accidently had repeated the same WP:PLAG mistake in three related content points in the Content chapter), you then intervened and corrected the issue in the 2 first content points (which I accepted back then), and a couple of days later another discussion at the talkpage meant you highlighted the WP:PLAG concern for the 3rd and final content point - which I then immediately fixed according to your concern. So it was not a matter where I repeatedly kept on to reproduce the same mistake after you had alerted me about WP:PLAG. In general, I think the extend of your perceived problem with me is exaggerated, but I WP:AGF. You are welcome to do whatever you think is appropriate or necessary. In all circumstances, I will of course always work had to improve on all of my short comings, and of course have a genuinely desire to adhere correctly to all Wikipedia policies. When considering the content quality and speed of my work, it can however never be completely avoided that a few mistakes accidently will be generated by my hand from time to time. I acknowledge my greatest asset and contribution to Wikipedia, is to be a content-provider rather than a language/policy expert, but of course my focus is also continuously to work on improving my skills for the latter part (and I genuinely feel these part of my skills also have improved over the course of time). To be frank, I sometimes feel you are hunting the wrong guy here. The quality of my work clearly belong to the better half of all Wikipedians - when considering all aspects.

TDL, Danish Expert, Heracletus: If we would live in the same city (or the same country), I would invite you all to get together and to have a drink together ("to Wikipedia"). As we are one of the few interested in those details about the EU, we should find some common ground to talk about. But instead of celebrating what is binding us, discussions have now digressed into very personal statements regarding motifs and past performance. However well grounded those may be: they are not going to restore a healthy editing atmosphere (and yes; I'll also take partial responsibility for that; as I have also shown quite an annoyance at talk pages at times). I think some at least partially valid arguments have been made regarding plagiarism, the "tone" of the debate and stalking; so let's all keep that in mind when taking some extra good faith on board and start editing again without these personal discussions…. It's not going to help us. L.tak ( talk) 22:37, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for my late reply. I have been one week abroad on a voluntary vacation.

By that spirit, I will not continue any personal debate, but just post my friendly reply to Heracletus and TDL about how I perceive their previous dispute and general behavior.
My above points are final statements, and not something I want to argue/debate further with any of you. If you agree/disagree with my perception, then please do so silently. There is no reason to continue this debate any further, as this would only end up eating all our precious time.

He Danish, a question on a completely different point… The Unified Patent Court, will once established have central divisions in London, Paris and Munich, but countries are free to choose to set up their own local division of the court, or to work together to make a "regional division". Now there is a mention that the Scandinavian and Baltic states will create such a regional division, located in Malmo. As the Danish government has announced this, I was hoping you could find the source for it (just follow the links at talk:Unified Patent Court), especially for the government announcement mentioned here… Could you give it a try?

I'm writing to you because the 2013 Convergence Report of the ECB has been published, and I must note that the ECB did choose to include Ireland in the long term interest criterion calculation at least for April 2013. Anyway, would you mind updating the Latvia and the euro article, the Template:Euro convergence criteria and any other relevant articles? You can also decide what to do with your sandbox.
I must also note that I'm not writing to re-start the previous content dispute/disagreement, so I would appreciate it if you use only what the report (or any other credible source) provides. I do not wish to limit you, but, in this way, I hope to prevent further disputes.

Hey Danish Expert
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Hello, would you care to update the euro convergence criteria according to the last report? and, also, update the fiscal compact fiscal compliance section? Heracletus ( talk) 03:45, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Do you have any plans to use Template:Euro convergence criteria (2012) and similar templates with historical data anywhere but on the "XXX and the euro" pages? If not, it might make more sense to restructure the templates into country specific, rather than year specific. Or maybe just merge the data into the articles (while keeping Template:Euro convergence criteria (2012)/REF in a template for common use). Obviously we would keep Template:Euro convergence criteria as is for use on Euro convergence criteria and elsewhere. What do you think? Just trying to come up with the best way forward before launching into things. TDL ( talk) 18:21, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

The way I see it, there are two scenarios for the previous year's debt:
If I understand correctly, debt<60% is a sufficient condition for the bddc being passed. If it is >60%, then an exemption can be granted if their prior three years are bddc. So, in scenario A it doesn't matter what the bddc is. Perhaps we should just use N/A for such cases. In scenario B, a state can still pass if they are bddc/fddc. So maybe the thing to do is keep the three columns, but colour the debt column yellow in case B) if they are bddc (ie Germany)? Or if you don't like that, we could just keep the debt column grey and colour the fddc/bddc cells. I feel like it's a bit simpler to understand the table if we can keep each cell representing one thing. TDL ( talk) 01:27, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
FYI, I've finally got around to finishing this project off. I completed the coding and copied it live and everything seems to be working reasonably well.

reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the

I've just been double checking the data at Template:Euro convergence criteria (2014), and I've come across an issue that you might have an explanation for. For Lithuania's 2013 deficit, I'm finding two different values. The 2 June 2014 ECB report (pg 55) gives it as -2.1%, while the 24 April 2014 EC report (pg 149) gives it as -2.2%. eurostat says -2.2%. My understanding was that the ECB report uses the EC spring forecast data, and footnote #4 in the table I cited above says just that. Can you think of any reason why there would be a discrepancy between these two figures? Which do you think we should use? TDL ( talk) 18:01, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Why on that section, on 31 March 2013, Greece with 1.7 would not be an outlier, while on 30 April 2014, Cyprus with 1.4 was an outlier? And, of course, the same holds for other months and values. Does the Polish source actually say whether a country is an outlier or not? Heracletus ( talk) 01:52, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

@ YeOldeGentleman: Award not accepted. Before reading your post, I did not even know the meaning of the word Teutophilia. After looking it up, I can now inform you, that I possess no obsessive love of Germans. My bias is neutral. So I wonder why you posted such award to me, shortly after your most recent edit of the Greek government-debt crisis article. If you are curious about my opinion about the Criticism of Germany's role chapter of the article (a section which I never edited or contributed to), I agree with the editor who posted the POV banner - as it does not meet Wikipedia's call for neutrality. This said, I am aware of the existence of the targeted political "Germany criticism" expressed by certain parts of the political spectrum in Greece, which I think justify why we keep having a section concerning this aspect in the article. So the section can stay, but just needs to improve, so that it reflect a satisfying level of neutrality (ensuring a balanced weight between the outspoken arguments and counter arguments in the public debate, while noting the correct context of both). Unfortunately I have no available time in my busy working schedule, to fix this issue myself, but hope another editor at some point of time will help to fix it.

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

A comment on this edit: As noted in SSI's report, there have been 36 cases with the E484K mutation in Denmark (a mutation that has happened several times, in widely separated clades). As stated in the report, 5 of these are in B.1.351 ("South African variant"), but it does not say that the remaining 31 are B.1.1.7. They're not. As also noted by Mads Albertsen (one of the main people behind sequencing in DK), there have not been any B.1.1.7+E484K in Denmark yet ("Vi har ikke set B.1.1.7+E484K i DK endnu." - jeg gætter på du forstår dansk, men oversatte for en sikkerheds skyld). Later addition: From gisaid/nextstrain, the Danish 484's are part of clade 20A and clade 20B/484K. Quite a lot of 484's combined with those have been detected in many countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa, UK, USA) and if including all detections of variants with it they're pretty much worldwide (83 countries, based on gisaid/nextstrain). But so far, the potentially problematic E484K+B.1.1.7 (which is clade 20I) appears to only have been seen in UK, although many countries aren't sequencing much and could easily overlook cases.

Underneath your thread there, I've suggested that it would be most efficacious to merge that list of external links, into the rest of the article, to prevent duplication (and confusion or missed-information for readers), in the same way that List of works of William Gibson is written.

As I understand it, the point that you are trying to make is that the calculation of points in, for example, Decamber 2006 included calculations based on rankings in, for example December 2005, but those Dec 05 rankings were reached via the previous calculation method, not the one introduced in July 2006. Therefore any false impression about the relative strength of teams given under the old formula still has an influence. Is that a correct reading of your intention?
Assumming that to be the case, I would be uncertain about the merit in including it.
Even leaving aside such issues, I would suggest that it can be said rather more simply and clearly than "The updated calculation methods were implemented by FIFA on a forward progress; meaning that they only replaced the previous method starting from a certain month, and never were used by FIFA to calculate new points and rankings for the past. Thus, the historical charts of each nations FIFA ranking since 1993, are drawed upon all three calculation methods; the first from August 1993 until December 1998, the second from January 1999 until June 2006, and the third since July 2006."
If we assume that the uncertainties in my second paragraph can be overcome, is there anything essential missing from the much simpler phrasing that I introduced: "The updated calculations remained partially dependent on rankings calculated under earlier forms of calculation. " I'm not totally happy about the repetition of the word "calculations" there, maybe "After each change in the formula, positions calculated under the previous method retained an influence in the ranking." I believe that both of these include the relevant points, ar more proportionate, and better combine clarity and conciseness.

Your recent editing history at Latvian euro coins shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done.

In those cases where we have clashed, I admit to have applied a backwords approach, where I started out to state the facts as I knew it was the WP:TRUTH. I have always seen such uploads as part of a process, where we were continously working to find sources and improve the articles. So my uploads were not ment to be unsourced forever, but something where it could be possible for me (or another editor) at a later stage to return and add the needed source. I admit to have been sloppy a few times not to remember adding the {{CN}} tag behind such WP:OR comments, but as all our subsequent discussions have proofed it was in each an every case subsequently possible to find the needed references to back my claims. Just to name the most recent examples, this is true for: 1) When Vaclav Havel had refused signing the ESM amendment treaty, 2) When the Czech PM was not prepared to join Fiscal Compact before such a thing had been explicitly approved by a referendum (which his TOP09 coallition partner refused), 3) When I claimed the Left-Green Movement had changed their policy now to support a completion of EU negotiations. In each of these three examples, I was able subsequently to add references that proofed my finding (which in those mentioned cases at first had been uploaded to the article as a combined WP:SYN of my own research after reading several articles in the field). Again a somewhat backwords process to you (and most editors here at Wikipedia), but this is how I work, which in most cases also should be considered a quality because I never limit myself to accept what a single source have written, but instead do a more broader research in the field on my own to learn what is really the WP:TRUTH. I appoligy to you, that I have been too sloppy to forget adding the CN tag in a couple of few cases, where I did not at first find a single direct reference suitable for the purpose and forgot to add the CN tag. I promise you in the future to improve, so that I from now on always remember to add these CN tags whenever needed.
My reply to you directly here at the articles talkpage, should really never have been posted here, but instead at your/my personal talkpage. But as your insinuated attacks against my moves and work process in general, to a great extend also has been reflected by your replies posted throughout the debate here at this articles talkpage, this now also make it appropriate for me to post my respons here (although another time I will recommend you engage with me more directly on my personal user talkpage, if you for whatever reason continue to have problems with my working process in general, instead of starting an unnecessary fuss about it by contacting administrators since February 2013 behind my back - without posting the slightest notification about your so-called general objection to my upload behaviour at my user talkpage- a general objection which by the way only entail a real objection to less than 10% of my previous uploads - and in all cases where we both have reached a final peacefull mutual agreement about the content so that the article was left in a state where your initial concerns had been fully met). As usual I assume WP:AGF on your behalf, but I have to say that your communication with me has been very clumsy, and a little too sneaky compared to a normal recommended approach here at Wikipedia. In our previous clashes, I each time asked you in the future to add a CN tag for those portions of my uploaded material you found needed a ref, instead of just removing it. Despite of that, you have never done so, and continued your practise of conducting a blindfolded removal of those parts of my uploaded material that needed an extra ref. I acknowledge it is mainly my own responsibility to add the CN tags, and not something I should leave as a task for you to do, and as stated above I will also start to be better remembering to do this in the future. Please do not take personal offence when I say this, but one of the main reasons why the atmosphere a few times in the past has developed into something experienced as tence, was because that I had forgot to add CN tags and that you also for whatever reason preferred to hit the delete tast rather than add a CN tag. We could really have avoided many clashes and a tense atmosphere, if we instead more actively has added CN tags for those parts of my upload where it was needed, in which case I would anyway have returned shortly afterwords to the page and uploaded the needed and called for reference. Our past clashes are neither black or white. We could both have acted better to prevent them. Let this be my final words in this case. Best regards, Danish Expert ( talk) 18:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I just wanted to say that I appreciate the edits you have been making to Iceland-related articles. You seem to be well informed about Icelandic affairs which is not easy if you don't know Icelandic since a lot of the news and such material available about Iceland in other languages is quite superficial and often out of context or simply wrong (hyped). I try to write about current Iceland affairs when something major happens but I’m mostly focusing on Icelandic political history (statistics, politicians, institutions etc.) these days. Your username leads me to believe that you are Danish and an expert of some sort (maybe on Iceland). I am curious to know what sources you use and what drives your interest? Unfortunately I can not write to you in Danish even though I studied it for nearly a decade. If you need anything then don’t hesitate to contact me.

Copying this over from my comments at [3]:
@TDL: Thanks for your reply, and your great effort to improve the quality of my work. From my point of view you indeed help to fix various issues, which is great, but occasionally it happens that what I intended to say with my line then gets destroyed in the process of rectifying it according to your concern. You are not doing anything wrong - it is just a matter that sometimes I accidently use a "bad chosen word" (i.e. only) for something I intended to say. The edit string you referred to above ended with you returning a new formulation using the word "introduced", which was something I fully accepted as this implied the "Fiscal Compact was build upon the shoulders of SGP and then introduced..." -which I agreed with you was an alternative and better way (in regards of ensuring source compliance) than my initial attempt of writing "Fiscal Compact budget balance rule only differes from SGP budget balance rule by..." (which was a statement being 100% true to reality, but which could not be written like that when enforcing the Wikipedia policy requirement rule you referred to, that we are only allowed to report content claims within a 100% match of saying the same stuff as provided for by the formulation of the listed source). I fully accepted the end solution for that case, by subsequently leaving your correction undisputed.
In regards of your concern, that I perform a lot of WP:PLAG around Wikipedia, I can tell you this is not the case. My uploads to Wikipedia has been limited to a very few articles, and I tend mainly only to upload to the same EU-related articles already listed on your watch-list. Each time when you edit my uploads, I carefully read through what you write. If I object to something then this in 99% of the times is clearly reflected by my edit-summary. I never ignore your corrections, or try to sneak in something which is not provided for. Surely I also occasionally make an edit mistake. My mistake rate is however not as grave as you fear/claim. I surely listen to your arguments, which my correction fix of your recently flagged WP:PLAG concern is a clear proof for. Your discovered WP:PLAG problem was related to 3 content points all written by me around the same time (in a process where I accidently had repeated the same WP:PLAG mistake in three related content points in the Content chapter), you then intervened and corrected the issue in the 2 first content points (which I accepted back then), and a couple of days later another discussion at the talkpage meant you highlighted the WP:PLAG concern for the 3rd and final content point - which I then immediately fixed according to your concern. So it was not a matter where I repeatedly kept on to reproduce the same mistake after you had alerted me about WP:PLAG. In general, I think the extend of your perceived problem with me is exaggerated, but I WP:AGF. You are welcome to do whatever you think is appropriate or necessary. In all circumstances, I will of course always work had to improve on all of my short comings, and of course have a genuinely desire to adhere correctly to all Wikipedia policies. When considering the content quality and speed of my work, it can however never be completely avoided that a few mistakes accidently will be generated by my hand from time to time. I acknowledge my greatest asset and contribution to Wikipedia, is to be a content-provider rather than a language/policy expert, but of course my focus is also continuously to work on improving my skills for the latter part (and I genuinely feel these part of my skills also have improved over the course of time). To be frank, I sometimes feel you are hunting the wrong guy here. The quality of my work clearly belong to the better half of all Wikipedians - when considering all aspects.

TDL, Danish Expert, Heracletus: If we would live in the same city (or the same country), I would invite you all to get together and to have a drink together ("to Wikipedia"). As we are one of the few interested in those details about the EU, we should find some common ground to talk about. But instead of celebrating what is binding us, discussions have now digressed into very personal statements regarding motifs and past performance. However well grounded those may be: they are not going to restore a healthy editing atmosphere (and yes; I'll also take partial responsibility for that; as I have also shown quite an annoyance at talk pages at times). I think some at least partially valid arguments have been made regarding plagiarism, the "tone" of the debate and stalking; so let's all keep that in mind when taking some extra good faith on board and start editing again without these personal discussions…. It's not going to help us. L.tak ( talk) 22:37, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for my late reply. I have been one week abroad on a voluntary vacation. After reading through all replies posted at my talkpage, Heclatus' talkpage and TDL's talkpage, I tend to highly agree with L.tak's comment above. By that spirit, I will not continue any personal debate, but just post my friendly reply to Heracletus and TDL about how I perceive their previous dispute and general behavior.
My above points are final statements, and not something I want to argue/debate further with any of you. If you agree/disagree with my perception, then please do so silently. There is no reason to continue this debate any further, as this would only end up eating all our precious time.

He Danish, a question on a completely different point… The Unified Patent Court, will once established have central divisions in London, Paris and Munich, but countries are free to choose to set up their own local division of the court, or to work together to make a "regional division". Now there is a mention that the Scandinavian and Baltic states will create such a regional division, located in Malmo. As the Danish government has announced this, I was hoping you could find the source for it (just follow the links at talk:Unified Patent Court), especially for the government announcement mentioned here… Could you give it a try?

I'm writing to you because the 2013 Convergence Report of the ECB has been published, and I must note that the ECB did choose to include Ireland in the long term interest criterion calculation at least for April 2013. Anyway, would you mind updating the Latvia and the euro article, the Template:Euro convergence criteria and any other relevant articles? You can also decide what to do with your sandbox.
I must also note that I'm not writing to re-start the previous content dispute/disagreement, so I would appreciate it if you use only what the report (or any other credible source) provides. I do not wish to limit you, but, in this way, I hope to prevent further disputes.

Hey Danish Expert
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_New_Zealand#3News_link_spam, they have had over 20 accounts blocked sicne this started.

Hello, would you care to update the euro convergence criteria according to the last report? and, also, update the fiscal compact fiscal compliance section? Heracletus ( talk) 03:45, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Do you have any plans to use Template:Euro convergence criteria (2012) and similar templates with historical data anywhere but on the "XXX and the euro" pages? If not, it might make more sense to restructure the templates into country specific, rather than year specific. Or maybe just merge the data into the articles (while keeping Template:Euro convergence criteria (2012)/REF in a template for common use). Obviously we would keep Template:Euro convergence criteria as is for use on Euro convergence criteria and elsewhere. What do you think? Just trying to come up with the best way forward before launching into things. TDL ( talk) 18:21, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

The way I see it, there are two scenarios for the previous year's debt:
If I understand correctly, debt<60% is a sufficient condition for the bddc being passed. If it is >60%, then an exemption can be granted if their prior three years are bddc. So, in scenario A it doesn't matter what the bddc is. Perhaps we should just use N/A for such cases. In scenario B, a state can still pass if they are bddc/fddc. So maybe the thing to do is keep the three columns, but colour the debt column yellow in case B) if they are bddc (ie Germany)? Or if you don't like that, we could just keep the debt column grey and colour the fddc/bddc cells. I feel like it's a bit simpler to understand the table if we can keep each cell representing one thing. TDL ( talk) 01:27, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
FYI, I've finally got around to finishing this project off. I completed the coding and copied it live and everything seems to be working reasonably well. See for example Template:Euro convergence criteria. We'll need to fill in the fddc/bddc and the deficit data, but for the moment it fails gracefully by just putting a ? in the cells for which it hasn't been given any data.

I've just been double checking the data at Template:Euro convergence criteria (2014), and I've come across an issue that you might have an explanation for. For Lithuania's 2013 deficit, I'm finding two different values. The 2 June 2014 ECB report (pg 55) gives it as -2.1%, while the 24 April 2014 EC report (pg 149) gives it as -2.2%. eurostat says -2.2%. My understanding was that the ECB report uses the EC spring forecast data, and footnote #4 in the table I cited above says just that. Can you think of any reason why there would be a discrepancy between these two figures? Which do you think we should use? TDL ( talk) 18:01, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

@ YeOldeGentleman: Award not accepted. Before reading your post, I did not even know the meaning of the word Teutophilia. After looking it up, I can now inform you, that I possess no obsessive love of Germans. My bias is neutral. So I wonder why you posted such award to me, shortly after your most recent edit of the Greek government-debt crisis article. If you are curious about my opinion about the Criticism of Germany's role chapter of the article (a section which I never edited or contributed to), I agree with the editor who posted the POV banner - as it does not meet Wikipedia's call for neutrality. This said, I am aware of the existence of the targeted political "Germany criticism" expressed by certain parts of the political spectrum in Greece, which I think justify why we keep having a section concerning this aspect in the article. So the section can stay, but just needs to improve, so that it reflect a satisfying level of neutrality (ensuring a balanced weight between the outspoken arguments and counter arguments in the public debate, while noting the correct context of both). Unfortunately I have no available time in my busy working schedule, to fix this issue myself, but hope another editor at some point of time will help to fix it.

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section.

Can you add Washington DC to the map as well? :)
By the way, how do you edit the states? (Might use it myself)

I have no desire to trample on your toes, but I notice you haven't been editing recently, and wondered if you'd still be up for editing the USCA map? If you haven't the time, I could give it a bash - though I'm sure it won't be as good! Regardless, thanks for all your hard work on the page. Greg ( talk) 22:49, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

For your extensive contribution to the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses articles. Continue the good work. Jon698 ( talk) 5:46, 10 February 2020 (UTC) |
Hi there, I agree that the complexity of delegate allocation should be thoroughly explained, just not in so much detail in the infobox. If you could self-revert, I will dutifully place that extended information into the body of the article myself. Thanks. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 01:32, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
A comment on this edit: As noted in SSI's report, there have been 36 cases with the E484K mutation in Denmark (a mutation that has happened several times, in widely separated clades). As stated in the report, 5 of these are in B.1.351 ("South African variant"), but it does not say that the remaining 31 are B.1.1.7. They're not. As also noted by Mads Albertsen (one of the main people behind sequencing in DK), there have not been any B.1.1.7+E484K in Denmark yet ("Vi har ikke set B.1.1.7+E484K i DK endnu." - jeg gætter på du forstår dansk, men oversatte for en sikkerheds skyld). Later addition: From gisaid/nextstrain, the Danish 484's are part of clade 20A and clade 20B/484K. Quite a lot of 484's combined with those have been detected in many countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa, UK, USA) and if including all detections of variants with it they're pretty much worldwide (83 countries, based on gisaid/nextstrain). But so far, the potentially problematic E484K+B.1.1.7 (which is clade 20I) appears to only have been seen in UK, although many countries aren't sequencing much and could easily overlook cases.

Just wanted to say thanks for your rather sudden and enthusiastic entry into the world of SARS-CoV-2 variants here on Wikipedia. Vil også lige sige hej fra en dansker til en anden
. – Desuden sjovt hvor mange danskere der tilsyneladende er interesseret i dette emne på Wikipedia.
