First message on my talk page to welcome discussions and constructive criticism. -- KlausFoehl ( talk) 15:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Greetings KlausFoehl, The reason and source of the change came from List_of_earthquakes. If you scroll down you will see a table listing the deadliest earthquakes. Before my edit the text said "fourth deadliest" and those two words also linked to the page I just referenced, however on that page the Aleppo earthquake is listed fifth. This is why I changed it from fourth to fifth. After your comment I noticed it is listed different on the USGS website. The Antioch and Gansu earthquakes seem to be missing from the USGS website. Perhaps the link to the List_of_earthquakes should be removed, as it is misleading in this? The text does not match the information that is linked to. ( Mythio ( talk) 13:18, 11 October 2010 (UTC))
- Just wrote you a P.S. about that before reading my talk page here.
- "The text does not match the information that is linked to."
- That is exactly the issue. Either quote USGS and put it 3rd. Or reference to
List_of_earthquakes and/or the
Template:Deadliest earthquakes which says 5th. Of course wikipedia should not quote itself, but something like data referenced in XYZ indirect quote may be tolerated. --

- P.S. What to do? I've asked this question now on Talk:Lists of earthquakes. -- KlausFoehl ( talk) 13:58, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
It appears that you have been
canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While
friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are
indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain
point of view or side of a debate, or which are
selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of
consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

- My rebuttal:
- 12:55, 26 March 2015 [1] current thread started
- you did not wait, despite the thread being far younger than the customary week and consensus not being reached
- 15:17, 28 March 2015 [2] with (-11,715) you have been removing more than half of the content
- 17:48, 28 March 2015 [3] independent 3th opinion (after the event)
- I have read [[WP:Canvassing|canvassing]. Except that I have not informed you about the edit you did (I am taking corrective action), I can identify all my actions as covered by Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification. Further discussion only on Talk:Waverley Line, please. -- KlausFoehl ( talk) 15:31, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

 | On 6 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Borders Railway, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that more than 50 years after being designated as one of the most unremunerative railway lines in Great Britain, part of the Waverley Route has been rebuilt as the Borders Railway? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Borders Railway. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
