Hi Walter, just to let you know I posted two additional questions at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Walter, would you care to have a look at them? I tried to make them open questions, in order to give you maximum liberty in answering them. tx. -- Francis Schonken 08:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Beste Walter,
Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.
Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeiets anders 21:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
If you want to see the PR week article (which was subscribtion only), go to OTRS and take a look at Ticket#2006021710004879 Raul654 03:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
This is a definite dormant sock of user:Bonaparte. We have already wasted a huge amount of nerve and effort with him. And User:Alucard sepetdalv is not off my hook either. I guess you are a new in this ugly history of User:Bonaparte/sockpuppetry and his persisitent trolling and using open proxiee to pretend that they are from "different continents". In fact, user:Bonaparte is from all over the globe, a true " citizen of the world", so to say. mikka (t) 21:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I'we have replied to your discussion at WT:BRFA → A z a Toth 00:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I took the liberty of fixing two spelling mistakes in your profile. I hope that you don't mind. You are more than welcome to revert my changes. Regards, Alphachimp talk 00:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
As you're one of the people who commented about formatting/clutter on the {{ audio}} template, I'm wondering what you think of my proposal for a javascript popup instead. I fixed the "clicking on the icon goes to the image page" problem a while ago, but there is still the "overloaded interface"/"too many click targets" problem, and I'm proposing we use javascript to hide the extra links until you hover over it. You can try out the mock-up yourself by adding this to your User:Walter/monobook.js:
document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="' + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Omegatron/monobook.js/audiopops.js' + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></scr' + 'ipt>');
This would be a site-wide change, so everyone would see it, and it safely falls back to the current design with several links on browsers without javascript. I would be happy with any kind of support, suggestions, or criticism; right now I feel like I'm talking to a wall. — Omegatron 18:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Hallo Walter
Ik ben een gebruiker op Wiki NL maar sindskort geblokkeerd voor sokpopperij. Ik heb hier spijt van en zou graag gedeblokkeerd worden zoals je zult zien draag ik ook bij aan Wikipedia bv. het artikel over de heilige Agatha. Ik discusierde hier al over met Oscar maar hij antwoord niet veel en is wat onduidelijk. Ik weet dat ik normaal de ontsnappingclausule zou moeten opvolgen maar ik ken GEEN adres van een betrouwbare medewerker! Help me alsjeblieft, ik zou graag terug bij dragen aan wikipedia NL onder de naam Mythologica.
Groeten

Please can you tell me how to find the burial place in Bruges of John Arbuthnott, 8th Viscount of Arbuthnott ? - Kittybrewster 21:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Dag Walter,
hier op de Engelstalige Wikipedia werd het dringend tijd dat we er mee begonnen, en dus zou ik je graag uitnodigen voor WikiProject Belgium. Ge hebt het waarschijnlijk razend druk met al uw functies enzo, maar het kan misschien geen kwaad om af en toe eens een kijkje te komen nemen, bovendien zou het leuk zijn voor ons project om iemand als jou er bij te hebben.
vriendelijke groeten, -- Steven Fruitsmaak ( Reply) 21:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Just cleaning out my watchlist and saw this "Say no to fair use" banner on your talk page. Can you explain what you mean by it? — Omegatron 16:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Some day the EN Wikipedia will also a free wikipedia like the non-English Wikipedia are.
I certainly do not share the attitude that Wikipedia is better than Britannica merely because it is free. It is my intention that we aim at Britannica-or-better quality, period, free or non-free. We should strive to be the best. [4]
Hi, I'm an Italian user that read the wonderful magazine that every Week you release :) But, i've noticed that you've done a mistake in the latest post,
[Wiki] - It is now offical. "Wiki" is a word - it must be so because it is now in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Maybe you mean official? :) I know that in this message i've probably written a lot of mistakes but in an official page it's maybe better that there aren't :-) Bye, [ Filnik | Talk! | Discus 17:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Since Wikipedia is moving towards dual-licensing (GFDL + CC-BY-SA 3.0), will Wikizine be also convert to dual-licenses? Or will it remain GFDL only? OhanaUnited Talk page 19:30, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
I found your old user page while checking out some old edits. I have history merged it, so that all edits are in one place. Hope you don't mind. Graham 87 14:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on Wikizine. I understand why it would be closed but I hope that you and anyone else who worked on Wikizine would consider writing for the Signpost which is very alive and well. -- Pine ✉ 20:42, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
