P.S. It's probably worth setting up a template to be used for all the periods, so they can easily be kept in the same format. It would make it easier for me, for example, to remove the padding around the timeline if I could do it in one place. Verisimilus T 20:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
All the period starts and ends are automatically generated now. They are kept in sync with the International Committee on Stratigraphy [1], who recognise the Quaternary as a (fuzzily defined) epoch, but not a period.

Some of the images you uploaded from [2] to WikiCommons appear to be inaccurately named and described. For example, File:Paleogene-EoceneGlobal.jpg (labeled as being 50 Ma) corresponds with the author's Oligocene map (35 Ma). Other maps shown on that site are missing, and would be greatly valued.

Thanks for uploading File:PrehistoricParkCarboniferousScene.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone.

That's not really the way it works- I know that the pact is of great importance, and so warrants discussion, but for a non-free image to be justified, it needs to significantly increase reader understanding, which this one does not. The mere fact that something is discussed or of importance to the subject does not mean that a non-free image is justified- for instance, an author is clearly important in an article on one of his/her books, but there is no way that a non-free image of him or her would be justified on an article on the book. Enhancing "the overall appearance of the article" is simply not important- we do not employ non-free content to do that. J Milburn ( talk) 11:50, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello Gliese876,
Regarding the file "German and Japanese spheres of influence at greatest extent World War II 1942" which you made, could you make some amendments to this map? Namely to include the Yenisei river demarcation line alongside the 70th meridian east? This division of Asia was proposed by the German OKW after they disliked the Japanese proposal which would have cut up a lot of traditionally united territories. It used the Yenisei river from the Arctic Ocean, the western border of Tannu-Tuva and China, the northern and western border of Afghanistan, and the border between Iran and India (modern-day Pakistan).
You might also want to take a look at this map, which uses updated WWII borders (as they existed in 1941).
And lastly, could you upload it in .svg or .png rather than .jpg?

Apologies for the late response to the PS - forgot about you in the interim. Hmmm... odd. Maybe it's the inclusionist in me that's talking, but that article should have been fixed, not deleted outright. The German-Japanese sphere delimitations in Asia are a matter of recorded historical fact, as are the Imperial Japanese Navy's rivalry with the Imperial Japanese Army. And then there are also the 1939 Manchuria border clashes as an indication of military hostility towards Soviet-controlled/influenced parts of Northeast Asia.-- Morgan Hauser ( talk) 15:20, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In the article History of Germany you accumulated two times five small edits in a row, sometimes twice in the same section. This kind of behaviour is very unnecessary. I currently can't find a rule which says that this would be a direct violation to Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines. Nevertheless, it's inappropriate to boost the edit count by doing this. -- Aetas volat. ( talk) 10:50, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Gliese876 -- Thank you for adding the picture to the Nazi Germany section of that article. I have simply noticed that the previous picture was inappropriate, but was not in the mood to search for a replacement. I commented it out in order to give others the opportunity to see what kind of picture had been in the article before (i.e. that it showed the territory under German control, not some other content like portraits etc.).

In 2008 you uploaded to Wiki Commons a map of Earth during the Jurrasic Period made by Ron Blakey from the Colorado Plateau Geosystems website. I talked with Ron Blakey and he's upset that people are exploiting his maps commercially. I don't think you informed him that Wiki Commons' CCA license permits commercial use (provided that credit is given). You should have uploaded this map to Wikipedia, which supports more restricted licenses. Kurzon ( talk) 16:27, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I really don't know what to say, in the situation, I personally prefer saying nothing that putting info that might appeared to be wrong. Because, if it appears to be the case, some would be to glad to call you a lier, even though you are full of good intention. After discussing with you I know that you are very implicate in the article, and I trust you for your action, but never underestimate the power of nuisance from some contributors,maybe it would be wiser to wait few days in order to find the proper sources.

Grüzie, Félicitation so pour ta nouvelle carte, par contre, tu dois choisir entre le jaune et l'orange. A savoir, le choix entre les régions ou l'allemand est parlé, ou les régions où l'allemand est langue co officielle. Tu ne peux pas mettre les deux, la Flandre, le bas et Valais central, le Jura bernois, ou bien encore les régions de Poschiavo, ne parlent pas le ditsch. Et pour l'Alsace et la Moselle, dans la mesure ou le bleu haché ne concerne que cette region, se serait mieux si tu remplace dans la légende le terme Allemand par dialecte ou alémanique. On parle l'alsacien et le platt, et c'est pas super bien vu de faire les amalgame, car ça donne une impression que les dialectes ne sont pas des langues à part entière.

Hallo 37ophiuchi,
erstmal danke für deinen unermüdlichen Einsatz im Artikel! Leider gibt es einige Nutzer, denen (pro-Englisch bzw. anti-alles-andere) Agenden wichtiger sind als Fakten, sodass Kwamikagami schon wieder nen Edit-Krieg vom Zaun gebrochen hat. Eigentlich wollte ich dir bloß weiterhin wünschen, dass dir der Spaß hier nicht vergeht angesichts der Windmühlen, gegen die du hier aufrichtig ankämpfen musst. Auch dein Beitrag zum Thema auf der Diskussionsseite im engl. Artikel ist beeindruckend - und vor allem beeindruckend konsistent. Schon hart, was mancher anderer Nutzer (Gabriel Haute Maurienne ist leider auch so ein Totalausfall) dann doch wieder alles abändert...

Hi, please note that Low German is an official language in Germany and in the Netherlands. It is also classified with English and not with German. Therefore it would rather be a dialect of English than of German. And Luxembourgish is more similar to German than Low German. Dennis9393 ( talk) 17:51, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

I've copyedited your added paragraph about foreign-language education in the U.S. for proper grammar and style. I also removed your tendentious judgment about American versus European students. As an American who studied four languages, I note that you didn't highlight more important factors besides "popularity" of language study in the U.S. and the skills of American students. In much of Europe, foreign languages are compulsory (English is often even a required subject). Not so in the U.S., where many states have no foreign-language requirements at all; many prestigious universities do not as well. Please beware of inserting your own opinion about a subject you know rather little about. Moreover, it has no place in the main article "United States".

I have now restored that stat and source under Language, "United States". Mason.Jones ( talk) 17:16, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
I think it's a stretch to compare the US (national language English, widely recognized as the international language) with the EU (where English is compulsory in schools for almost everyone). But OK -- the current text is at least neutral. Question: For the EU, the latest wording "two or more languages" is a bit heavy, as this includes one's mother tongue. More parallel language might be: "their native language and at least one other language." Someone might change that in future (not me though). Mason.Jones ( talk) 00:55, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

The German-Japanese sphere delimitations in Asia are a matter of recorded historical fact, as are the Imperial Japanese Navy's rivalry with the Imperial Japanese Army. And then there are also the 1939 Manchuria border clashes as an indication of military hostility towards Soviet-controlled/influenced parts of Northeast Asia.-- Morgan Hauser ( talk) 15:20, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
If you were still going to do it btw, the file is also currently being used at Axis powers, German-Japanese relations, and Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.-- Morgan Hauser ( talk) 00:21, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello. In the article History of Germany you accumulated two times five small edits in a row, sometimes twice in the same section. This kind of behaviour is very unnecessary. I currently can't find a rule which says that this would be a direct violation to Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines. Nevertheless, it's inappropriate to boost the edit count by doing this. -- Aetas volat. ( talk) 10:50, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Gliese876 -- Thank you for adding the picture to the Nazi Germany section of that article. I have simply noticed that the previous picture was inappropriate, but was not in the mood to search for a replacement. I commented it out in order to give others the opportunity to see what kind of picture had been in the article before (i.e. that it showed the territory under German control, not some other content like portraits etc.).

In 2008 you uploaded to Wiki Commons a map of Earth during the Jurrasic Period made by Ron Blakey from the Colorado Plateau Geosystems website. I talked with Ron Blakey and he's upset that people are exploiting his maps commercially. I don't think you informed him that Wiki Commons' CCA license permits commercial use (provided that credit is given). You should have uploaded this map to Wikipedia, which supports more restricted licenses. Kurzon ( talk) 16:27, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I really don't know what to say, in the situation, I personally prefer saying nothing that putting info that might appeared to be wrong. Because, if it appears to be the case, some would be to glad to call you a lier, even though you are full of good intention. After discussing with you I know that you are very implicate in the article, and I trust you for your action, but never underestimate the power of nuisance from some contributors,maybe it would be wiser to wait few days in order to find the proper sources. The article has not a dead line to respect.-- Gabriel Haute Maurienne ( talk) 00:31, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Grüzie, Félicitation so pour ta nouvelle carte, par contre, tu dois choisir entre le jaune et l'orange. A savoir, le choix entre les régions ou l'allemand est parlé, ou les régions où l'allemand est langue co officielle. Tu ne peux pas mettre les deux, la Flandre, le bas et Valais central, le Jura bernois, ou bien encore les régions de Poschiavo, ne parlent pas le ditsch. Et pour l'Alsace et la Moselle, dans la mesure ou le bleu haché ne concerne que cette region, se serait mieux si tu remplace dans la légende le terme Allemand par dialecte ou alémanique. On parle l'alsacien et le platt, et c'est pas super bien vu de faire les amalgame, car ça donne une impression que les dialectes ne sont pas des langues à part entière. Et je sais que tu ne partage pas ce point de vue. Sinon bon travail selon moi. Bravo, tzüper comme on dit.-- Gabriel Haute Maurienne ( talk) 18:31, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Hallo 37ophiuchi,
erstmal danke für deinen unermüdlichen Einsatz im Artikel! Leider gibt es einige Nutzer, denen (pro-Englisch bzw. anti-alles-andere) Agenden wichtiger sind als Fakten, sodass Kwamikagami schon wieder nen Edit-Krieg vom Zaun gebrochen hat. Eigentlich wollte ich dir bloß weiterhin wünschen, dass dir der Spaß hier nicht vergeht angesichts der Windmühlen, gegen die du hier aufrichtig ankämpfen musst. Auch dein Beitrag zum Thema auf der Diskussionsseite im engl. Artikel ist beeindruckend - und vor allem beeindruckend konsistent. Schon hart, was mancher anderer Nutzer (Gabriel Haute Maurienne ist leider auch so ein Totalausfall) dann doch wieder alles abändert...
Gruß,

Hi, my given source does clearly say "native speakers" as 105 million, and a total of 185 millions. There are two colums, one says: native speakers, doesn't it?!? – BTW: Why do you fall in my back, instead of providing backup? I'am puzzeled! -- ZH8000 ( talk) 11:03, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi, please note that Low German is an official language in Germany and in the Netherlands. It is also classified with English and not with German. Therefore it would rather be a dialect of English than of German. And Luxembourgish is more similar to German than Low German. Dennis9393 ( talk) 17:51, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

I've copyedited your added paragraph about foreign-language education in the U.S. for proper grammar and style. I also removed your tendentious judgment about American versus European students. As an American who studied four languages, I note that you didn't highlight more important factors besides "popularity" of language study in the U.S. and the skills of American students. In much of Europe, foreign languages are compulsory (English is often even a required subject). Not so in the U.S., where many states have no foreign-language requirements at all; many prestigious universities do not as well. Please beware of inserting your own opinion about a subject you know rather little about. Moreover, it has no place in the main article "United States". Mason.Jones ( talk) 16:39, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
I have now restored that stat and source under Language, "United States". Mason.Jones ( talk) 17:16, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
I think it's a stretch to compare the US (national language English, widely recognized as the international language) with the EU (where English is compulsory in schools for almost everyone). But OK -- the current text is at least neutral. Question: For the EU, the latest wording "two or more languages" is a bit heavy, as this includes one's mother tongue. More parallel language might be: "their native language and at least one other language." Someone might change that in future (not me though). Mason.Jones ( talk) 00:55, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
