Again, welcome! -- Ragib 30 June 2005 23:04 (UTC)

I have not deleted your article, I placed it on VfD.

This is not a case of going after any articles—in my browsing of Wikipedia if I see an article that I think should go through VfD I put it there (you can do the same). VfD does not result in automatic deletion, rather it is the place where decisions about what articles are, or are not, appropriate for inclusion in this encyclopedia is debated. If you feel that your article should not be deleted you should state why on its VfD page at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Kardos_Empire/Kingdom.

I have never said anything about your flag. JeremyA 2 July 2005 20:47 (UTC)

I your new head of government at republic of mosquito! Check you article

• Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia such as Peoples Republic of Mosquito. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 2 July 2005 22:06 (UTC)
• Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

It's not that your articles are offensive, they're merely pointless vanity make-believe stuff. Please stop with that. Friday 3 July 2005 07:48 (UTC)

• Dudtz:your existance is mearly pointless

the only purpose you have is to repress me, to fill a house while paying taxes,and to work. thats your existance

Please stop adding junk to Wikipedia, and unless you have something meaningful to say, do not leave a message on my talk page. AиDя01D TALK EMAIL July 3, 2005 18:31 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Your latest, Scarab Starfighter, is much better than the previous articles you created. However, don't be surprised if it gets deleted. Your article might have been great as part of a Star Wars website, but it's really not appropriate for an encyclopedia. I hope you don't get discouraged. Keep trying. You might find that editing existing articles works out better than creating new ones. Friday 7 July 2005 03:53 (UTC)

I have listed Image:D-kardos.jpg for deletion, as it is not being used anywhere, and not likely to be useful anywhere in Wikipedia. AиDя01D TALK EMAIL July 8, 2005 20:34 (UTC)

In our discussion about your Kardos Kingdom article, your comments are very difficult to see and to see who wrote them because you do not sign your edits. This is just a general comment: signing your discussions is quite helpful to everybody. To do this, simply enter four tildes (~~~~) after the comment. For example, I sign all of my comments:

Blah Blah Blah -- ~~~~

It's helpful for a lot of people. Thanks. -- CABHAN TALK CONTRIBS 9 July 2005 16:33 (UTC)

Hi -- thanks for your interest in Bratislava :-) Quick question: any particular reason for removing the "Partner Cities" entry? I dodn't remeber who added it and I have certainly not verified it, but I was curious why you'd remove it w/o stating a brief reason. Please reply here or on Talk:Bratislava. Thanks for your help & take care. Jbetak 07:03, 20 July 2005 (UTC) reply

Could you not create articles about yourself or redirects to your own user space in main namespace please? Many thanks. -- Francs2000 | Talk 23:16, 20 July 2005 (UTC) reply

It would appear that instead of typing four tildes to sign your name (the easy way to do it like this: ~~~~) you wrote it instead and forgot to write "User:" in front of the first "Dudtz"; you then edited the resultant redlink and inserted a redirect to your own user page. The problem with these is that when Wikipedia content gets mirrored out to other sites on the Internet, the redirect to your user page goes with it whereas not all mirror sites take user pages. That's why cross namespace redirects are generally considered a bad thing. -- Francs2000 | Talk 23:24, 20 July 2005 (UTC) reply

Hi, a concerned user has pointed out your "no longer a country" comments. I'd like you to have a look at Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point.

If you want to expess this opinion, that's fine. I'm sure it's not intentional, but you come across as fairly abrasive and stubborn in regards to this opinion. People aren't going to want to listen to you, they're going to ignore you if they can. However, if you were to say your opinion more gently with facts--but, again, not in a way that could be seen as "shoving The Facts down your throat"--they would no doubt be more receptive to your view.

Please consider this. Thank you for your time. :) Garrett ^Talk 11:45, 22 July 2005 (UTC) reply

thanks for the image, Dudtz, but there are several issues with it

• you need to to supply a copyright tag. if you took the picture, and are prepared to release it under the GFDL, use {{GFDL}}. Otherwise use {{fairuse}}.
• the image is blurred, and should be cropped
• the sword depicted seems to be a cheap replica, and is thus lacking notability; ideally we would want images of actual museum pieces, with age and Oakeshotte type, or failing that, museum replicas that can be approximately dated. See Image:langes_schwert_lm70573.jpg to see what I mean.

dab (ᛏ) 18:45, 3 August 2005 (UTC) reply

no, it doesn't have to be famous. But, since the term 'longsword' is ahistoric (as explained in the article), it has to be classifiable, i.e. at least dated (period, area). The proper classification of swords is by Oakeshott type, and I will suggest that all these scattered X-sword articles are merged into sword, and that proper subarticles about the Oakeshotte types are written instead. We will then need an image for each type. The type of your blade cannot be made out very well, I imagine you took the picture with your cellphone? dab (ᛏ) 16:49, 4 August 2005 (UTC) reply

if you are a 'movie/anamation producer' I suppose I don't have to tell you about cropping and resolution, then. still, feel free to add it somewhere, I don't care too much, the articles are all in a mess anyway, and we'll need to rearrange them somehow. It would be very nice if you could contribute images of swords in museums, citing as much information about them as you can. In the case of this sword, at least cite its manufacturer. dab (ᛏ) 17:08, 4 August 2005 (UTC) reply

I would recomend a 3rd party oppinion on this matter In any case,are you a good sword fighter? I would like to see you try to defeat me in atlest a fencing match

*lol* — are you suggesting we add dueling to the list of procedures on Wikipedia:Dispute resolution? Well, I did some 4 years of HEMA, but that doesn't say much of course. You are welcome to call on me if you happen to come to Zurich, sometime. But I must add the cautionary remark, for the purposes of our present dispute, that it appears from the fechtbuchs that the best fencers did not always necessarily have superior graphical skills :o) dab (ᛏ) 16:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC) reply

I uploaded my "Swiss Army Knife" because I ciriticized your image, to show what I meant, and to deliver instead of just nipicking. You know what, I will rotate and crop your image, and you put it up until we have something better, ok? dab (ᛏ) 17:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC) reply

here you are. (it is a cellphone cam, though, isn't it?). yeah, type xiiia, it seems. In fact, you could begin the Oakeshotte type XIII article, if you feel like it, you can use [2] as your source. What we are looking for are images like [3], with information like 'Germany, ca. 1520, replica by lutel.cz'. dab (ᛏ) 17:53, 5 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Hello, please do not mark every edit you make "minor", see Wikipedia:Tutorial (Editing). Also adding edit summaries would help others to edit better. - feydey 01:15, 30 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Blip.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. -- Nv8200p 22:37, 30 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Russian Soldiers.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

You wrote on the requested move a while ago that it makes sense to you that United States should be a dis-ambiguation page. Is Mexico ever referred to as the United States?? Georgia guy 01:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC) reply

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Blip.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Denniss 00:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply

If you are the creator/author of this image then please tag it with {{GFDL-self}}. If you are not the creator then provide a source. -- Denniss 02:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply

The tag on it suffices,DO NOT REMOVE TAG WITHOUT PERMISSION. Dudtz 6/20/06 7:28 PM EST

The tag is not sufficient becauase the required source is missing. As said tag it as GFDL-self if you are the creator. And please sign your comments always with ~~~~ -- Denniss 00:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC) reply

It is an acceptible tag. Dudtz 6/20/06 8:53 PM EST

I see that you have a desire to read up on, and talk about, modern military equipment. It's always good to learn new stuff! However, I urge you to do more research before you make posts in talk pages, and elsewhere, in regards to certain topics. If you ever are in doubt about a fact, I recommend that you check it out first on one of these webpages (better yet, check all of them).

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{ WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
• Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
• Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 21:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Mosquito-r.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Thanks for uploading Image:Imperial Emblem.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Hi Dudtz. You currently have yourself listed as a participant in the Pennsylvania WikiProject. If you are still active in the project then ignore this message. However if you are busy or no longer wish to be involved, please remove yourself from the list so we can get an updated count on the number of active members. Thank you!

Hello. In light of the fact that it is the first book the U.S. government ever went to court to censor before its publication(!), I was hoping you could help improve the The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence article as part of an effort to make it worthy of becoming a featured article candidate? -- Loremaster ( talk) 14:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi, Im currently working to create OrBat graphics for all the Army National Guard divisions (i.e. 34th Infantry Division (United States)#Current Structure or 35th Infantry Division (United States)#Current Structure, but as the National Guard is currently restructuring it is extremly difficult to find the necessary information. As of now I have done my best and created the following 5 graphics:

• 28th Infantry Division
• 29th Infantry Division
• 34th Infantry Division
• 35th Infantry Division
• 42nd Infantry Division

most likely there will be some errors - if you have the time and knowledge could you please have a look and check for errors and/or omissions? Thank you very much. Also I will work on the 36th, 38th and 40th Divisions over the week and do hope that you could have a look at the Army National Guard#Divisions list and check if they listed brigades are correct. Also if you have some information regarding the units of the brigades of the aforementioned 3 divisions, this would massively help me in my endeavor. thanks, -- noclador ( talk) 22:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Dudtz, since you are a member of the WW1 task force, I would like to ask if you are able to add to the Robert Nivelle article. It is currently on GA hold, as it requires more information, particularly about his early life and legacy. If there is a chance that you could contribute to the article by July 21, the date when the review ends, I would be very gratful. Thanks in advance.

Privet. You are receiving this message as you were listed on the membership list of WP:RUSSIA at Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia/Members. Recent times has seen minimal activity within WikiProject Russia, and there is an attempt to re-invigorate the project and have it become more organised into a fully-fledge functioning project, with the aim of increasing the quality of Russia-related articles across English wikipedia.

As we don't know which listed members are active within the project and Russia-related article, all listed members are receiving this message, and are requested to re-affirm their active status on Russia-related article by re-adding their username to Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia/Members by adding:

# {{User|YOURUSERNAME}}

to the membership list. You may also like to place {{User Russian Project}} on your userpage, as this will also place you in Category:WikiProject Russia members.

There is also an active proposal on the creation of a single WP:RUSSIA project. The proposal can be viewed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Russia#Proposal_for_overhaul_and_creation_of_a_single_WP:RUSSIA_project, and your comments and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Proposal.

We all look forward to your continued support of WP:RUSSIA and any comments you may have on the proposal. -- Russavia ^{Dialogue Stalk me} 04:38, 2 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/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 South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia: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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao ^{Che dicono a Signa?} _{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:54, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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!
