I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{ helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hello Vadac! Please do not delete the map on German articles without any discussions and beware what you are doing! The map in the article de:Portugiesische Kolonialgeschichte has the same colours in use (mentioned in text), like the other maps in the article and shows further territories missing in "your" map. If there are mistakes in current map, please tell me. And it is an absolute "No No" in German Wikipedia to change sth in pages of users (Benutzer). ;-) Greetings, -- J. Patrick Fischer ( talk) 13:12, 10 April 2010 (UTC) (fastest contact: de:Benutzer Diskussion:J. Patrick Fischer)
Thanks for your note. First off — the reason that I talk about this not being Commons is that you cited a Commons deletion discussion, and since we're not Commons, it's not relevant. I declined the speedies simply because the rationale you cited is a valid reason for deletion at FFD, but not a valid reason for speedy deletion. You're free to open a FFD nomination for all of these images. Nyttend ( talk) 02:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I believe all of the following shuld be deleted and need someone to post them fr deletion for me as every time I try to do it the whole thing screws up and one or more admins are annoyed at me about it: [snip]
Please post them for deletion with this reason:
Done
Your point about the slight differences is the exact reason that I declined them: the applicable criterion requires them to be identical, and the differences you highlight are the reasons that they're not identical. Feel free to take this image to WP:FFD, and please let me know if/when you do, for I'll be happy to support its deletion; the only reason that I declined it is that it doesn't meet the criteria for speedy.

I have found situations where there are duplicates of images which naturally should be removed via speedy deletion but not all have the same file format and I can't find a deletion criteria for when the file format is different but they are stil the same image. I know that SVGs are treated separately from other imae formats and have been respecting that but PNG, JPEG, BITMAP and others like them i fact are all the same and do not have a difference n their construction like SVGs. So, what I am getting at here is what speedy deletion criteria can I use to get rid of duplicates which happen to be a variety of non-SVG fies?
Hello If you want to tag an article, you can go to its talk page and add that banner at the top of the text. To add something to WikiProject Austria, add {{ WikiProject Austria}}. Similarly, to add the Germany WikiProject, add {{ WikiProject Germany}}. (Most WikiProjects have a banner of that sort: {{WikiProject NAME}}) If you want a directory of projects, so that you can find the most appropriate one, see here: Wikipedia:WikiProject.
As far as rating goes, virtually every one of these templates has the parameters importance=
and quality=
so that you can insert the tag: {{WikiProject Austria |importance=low |quality=C}} and generate the relevant categories and text on the talk page. Some banners have their own special fields.
If you want to collaborate on how to improve that article in particular, you can post to WT:AUSTRIA and ask other users who are interested in Austrian topics.
Please post on my talk if you would like more help. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 19:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi there. We're having a content dispute at the article above - the list of empires has a large 216 entries, and currently the article sees fit to repeat this list 6 times! Clearly a waste of storage and bandwidth. A better solution (saving at least 30% and making it much easier to read and use) would be a table with a column for each attribute, sortable, as used in many other articles (see the discussion). However, a silent editor keeps reverting attempts to clean up the article, without explanation. Please see the discussion (currently nobody disagrees). Your comments would be welcome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.207 ( talk) 21:19, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

My question dirives from the issue above. What am I and/or the Wikimedia community to do when someone starts undoing others work constantly even after heavy discussions support the changes and the undoing IP does not involve themself in the discussions but merely undoes our work over and over? The big trouble is, as can be seen above, is that this individual is doing this from several IP addresses so they have multiple power and can be more effectivly abusive.
If this individual continues to do this is it right to actually block one or more of the IP Addresses they are using, maybe even all of them? (The ones listed above only, not the whole 190.134.xxx.xxx range). Vadac ( talk) 22:53, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Great Turkish War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Principality of Transylvania ( 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.

Thank you for the nice file:British and French empires 1920.png map. Some territories are still missing, at least in China, like (the visible) Guangzhouwan (1898-1946, with 3 last years japanese occupation), part of the shandong and hongkong for england, parts of wuhan, guangzhou and shanghai, beijing for both. 82.225.234.108 ( talk) 23:12, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
