I improved your russian article about "Icelandic Sheepdogs" because it was not good enough to name it as "article", so I had a choice - either delete it or improve it. I decided that it's better to improve it :) Indeed I'm not suach a dog-fancier, at least I have no dog at home, but when I was a child I had a German Shepherd, he was really smart dog. In Russian Wikipedia there is a lack of articles about dogs, I hope it will be changed soon. About ''Коикерхондье'' (Kooiker Dog) you may read at: http://demo.e-dog.ru/dogs.phtml?dog=283&pos=24&abc=%CA I know that you cannot read Russian but you can authomatically translate text using online services like http://babel.altavista.com/ If you need my assistance please write to me at my :ru:Участник_обсуждение:Maximaximax or User_talk:Maximaximax talk pages. Greetings, Maxim == Pictures of your dogs == * I looked around the website, and didn't see any that were better than the one nominated for featured picture status. Just look for more opportunities to take more pictures with a good camera, in good light of the entire dog, preferably in some sort of great pose, like in the nominated picture. It was just the grass in front of the dog that I found distracting. And, the higher resolution, the better. - User:Bevo">User:Bevo|User:Bevo 05:28, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC) :Thanks Bewo! I moved your answer to my talks.

One day I'll get round to fleshing out that most-perfect (''magic'') squares page! best User:Robinh 08:08, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Featured picture candidates resolution and size == ''answers to User talk:Angela now User talk:Gangleri/archive 01#Featured picture candidates resolution and size:'' Hi. I don't think I really am the best person to ask since I don't really care about the resolution as long as the size is at least 300px width for Wikipedia:picture of the day. In my opinion, the vast majority of images on Wikipedia are completely unsuitable for print, so objecting to candidates on that basis is not something I would do, although User:Eloquence and others have done so in the past. I expect as high a resolution as you can manage would be best, but I have no strong opinion on this and can only suggest you look at some of the other featured pictures and see what the standard is, but I expect it varies widely. User:Angelauser talk:Angela 23:28, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC) == Interlanguage categories == ''answers to User talk:Angela now User talk:Gangleri/archive 01#relatated to categories in different languages:'' Hi, I think adding interlanguage links to categories is very useful and I see no reason not to do this. I realize there are difficulties in finding categories in other Wikipedias, and I don't know of any page that attempts to make this easier. However, it would be a very worthwhile project to create something like a page which aims to give translations of the words used for category across the languages, and also promote interlanguage collaboration. I guess this is what you've started at . Meta: would be the best place for a cross-project page where people could help with this. I think it could be maintained simply as a wiki page rather than a database, but perhaps I don't quite understand what you are intending to do? The m:Multilingual speedy deletions page already gives translations for the tag, so perhaps something similar could be set up for other common tags. Personally, I like the idea of using the same icon across projects to help people know what the template is, but I think you'd find it difficult to convince people across projects to use the same icon, or even to use an icon at all. See Template talk:Delete#Image poll for example.

Yes, I have a shorthaired cream and white. // User:Liftarn == Ligatures == ''answers to User talk:Io: and Norse saga:'' Hi! I am pleased to meet you. All the examples you mention on the page http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660 should indeed be an oe-ligature. The two ligatures were pronounced differently in Old Norse, although they later merged in Icelandic. Oe-ligature was the result of an umlaut with ''� '' as the original vowel, whereas ae-ligature was an umlaut of ''�''. As for browsers displaying or not displaying characters correctly, I would advise you to go to http://www.mozilla.org and download their latest stable version. It beats Internet Explorer by leaps and bounds. I'm going to watch a tv-programme now, but I'll get back to you later.

First, there's precious little dating for early runestones. There are quite a few that are of the oldest varieties, my guess would be between 300-500 of them (though one could look at hard data instead of guessing, but I don't have it at hand). How many of those are still standing in their original position is just impossible to know but hardly more than a couple dozen. I'm pretty bad at Norwegian stones so I better not guess at the status of that stone. "My page" - Heh, I'm not sure which page you're talking about here. Assuming it's not something outside wikipedia, I'll guess it's the futhark page, which I did indeed start, long, long ago - however, I cannot in any way claim any glory for what's on that page now. I don't think a single word remains of my writing:-) In fact, "futhark" was just a redirect to another page last I looked. So - I'm glad you enjoy it but don't thank me, talk to all the editors of the page (dozens of them, IIRC). The article has a discussion tab as well where you can discuss its contents with whatever authors are active on the article. Finally, pardon me for being slow in answering, I'm not very active on the English wikipedia nowadays (whatever time I have available to spend on wikipedia goes to the Swedish edition).

Please, don't put in my talk page any more links to projects and categories you found interesting. I already have plans what to do in Wikipedia. They often change, when I found something interesting or annoying. But you can't change them like that, and you shouldn't. By the way, I remember that visitors from German Wikipedia have already notified us of in the Finnish Village Pump. Still about Finnish dog categories. The Finnish Wikipedia haven't yet formed rules about categorization. It must form them, because people will become tired of current insconsistency between e.g. singular and plural. So expect some catagory names to change in future. -User:Hapsiainen 12:18, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC) ==WikiCommons== I am posting it here, because I assume you'll look here more often than on your Dutch userpage. Regarding your questions on w:nl:Overleg gebruiker:Andre Engels: It is currently still necessary to cross-upload.

Most city people live in cramped apartments that does not allow for dogs. I checked the articles, there aren't any about breeds of dogs. 粤菜 is about cantonese cooking, dispelliing the myth that dogs is a common dish (it's actually illegal in most Chinese areas). 犬科 is the lupine genus. Category:小作品 is stubs. I'd be happy to help with the interwiki links for the tree of life project. Once in a while I go through the articles top down to add interwiki links and taxo boxes. Lately I've been busy working on categorization, as well as some other offline reporting, so I havne't done much lately. If you have any specific questions and doubts, please let me know. Also please note that Chinese wiki uses one of the older taxonomy methods, especially around :zh:鱼 and :zh:鸟. I don't know what the English name of those are, but the layering and divisions are often different from what I see in English and Japanese wiki until you get to the genus level. I also operate one of the two :m:interwiki bot :zh:User:Vina-iwbot on Chinese wiki. Between me and the other person who has a :zh:User:sz-iwbot, any links that you put onto other wiki should be picked up within a couple of weeks, so you don't need to add them manually here. Do you know if Latin wiki has an interwiki bot operator yet? I don't see one on the list. It's very useful if you have users actively adding interwiki links. --User:Vina 06:18, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC) I'll add the three dog pages to the :zh:Wikipedia:待翻译文章.

The obvious way to deal with them is to edit all redirects to point to the real article, e.g. if A redirects to B & B redirects to C, you just have to edit A to redirect to C directly. I don't think there is any possibility of a better thing to do, at least with multiple redirects, ''per se''. Under which title the article must finally be located is a different issue that could be settled in the talk pages/IRC/whatever but while that's being debated, doing the above is the right thing AFAICT.

Sorry not to have responded sooner to any of your messages; I have to admit that the more I saw, the more I put off responding to even the simpler ones, but anyway... ===About me=== * Note that although I am reasonably familiar with the source code - enough to direct myself or others to the right part of it, anyway - I would in no way consider myself one of the "core developers". In fact, my actual contributions to the code so far are few and trivial if any, although I like to think I've "contributed" in other ways. Just thought I ought to be clear on that, so that you don't get the impression a) that I wrote significant parts of the software and have intimate knowledge of it; or b) that I have access to the Wikimedia servers, or other rights that you don't have. I am just a user like you who has got to know the internals of the software a bit. * Nor do I have admin/sysop rights here, on meta:, or even on test:, so there's no point asking me to delete anything. ===Bugzilla=== * It should be noted that, although someone has nicknamed the skin modification "MediaZilla", bugzilla is not developed by the same people as MediaWiki, but actually the same people as Mozilla (the open source browser). So, features like previews for comments (which I too would dearly like) are not likely to be implemented by anyone here, but need to be discussed with the developers of that software. ** That said, the ability to make magic links to Wikipedia has been added on specifically for our install; I'm not sure who it was that implemented that, so I'm not sure who you'd need to talk to about any changes to/problems with its behaviour. * I have no more "rights" there than you do, so if you can't modify a comment, nor can I; I'm not aware that a feature for doing so exists, except in as much as one can usually hack databases directly, and hope for no nasty side effects. * It ''is'' possible to link to individual comments in a bug (and this, too, has nothing to do with the MediaWiki setup): if you click on the "#3" or whatever, you'll notice your browser is pointed to the anchor "#c3". So Bugzilla:144#c3 will do what you are after. ===Templates and variables=== * The issue with including a template using {{:Bar}} does indeed seem to be a bug in the parser; the parser is, I may have mentioned before, a right mess internally, so I dread to think how such things work (or, indeed, don't;)). Nonetheless, I've filed Bugzilla:895, since it's clearly a genuine bug. ** A way round this has just occurred to me, which is that "User:" is ''always'' a valid alternative name for the user namespace; so will actually include your user-page on any project you visit! * I believe the thinking behind having etc refer to the page in which the template is included, is that this is basically the only reason you'd need to use them: to reference, in a template, the page the reader is actually looking at. Generally, templates aren't designed to be looked at in themselves, and moving and copying templates is probably rare enough that it's not much of an issue. While having some magic syntax would be nice, it makes the software that much more complex for rather a small gain. Since, when you're ''editing'' a template, you'll know what its title is, it's not that hard to just change that part of it when the template is moved or copied to a different title. * As for inclusion across multiple projects, yes, this would create some problems with localisations like this, but as far as I know, no such feature is even in the beginning of development, so I think we can put off worrying about which project translates according to until someone codes it. ===Page parameters=== * As far as I know, there is no complete list of all the parameters that can be used in URLs for ordinary pages and special pages. This is because most of them are available through the interface, and so a bit of experimentation generally reveals how to use them. There are a few exceptions, like ...title=Foo&action=raw, but basically if you want to know how to do something by URL, do it manually and then look at the URL you get pointed at! ** That said, a proper list could be useful, for instance for people writing bots, but I don't have to time to start it right now. * As for Special pages, each has its own peculiar parameters; there's no sense in which these are "allowed" on other special pages - you can visit if you really want to, but it won't do anything much. The fact that lots of special pages make use of a parameter called target should not imply that this is some kind of general parameter - it's just that it's the appropriate name for the paramater in each case. So ...title=Special:Watchlist&target=somebody is no more "accepted" than anything else, and does not offer a cheeky way to view someone else's watchlist; there is no feature for doing that. ** The simplified links I used, like Special:Whatlinkshere/Foo, work for most Special: pages that have one obvious parameter: Whatlinkshere needs to have a page to look at the backlinks for, Allpages can be told where to begin the list, etc. It's just a convenient way of linking to the pages, and I think pre-dates the whole idea of things like . [Note, btw, that these aren't InterWiki links, they're just ordinary internal ones, with the parameter pretending to be a sub-page, just like User:IMSoP/Gangleri.] ** The syntax can be made to refer to any page, with any extra parameters; all it is, is a convenient and portable way of creating a full URL pointing at the page (I think it was probably created so that parts of the interface could make use of it, and work on a new install without tweaking). So in terms of "when to use it", the answer is "whenever you like" (everywhere except where it's possible, and would be easier, to use the "sub-page" shortcut I just mentioned, I guess; or, where it would be easier to just to copy-and-paste the actual URL!) ---- Well, that's dealt with some of your comments and questions anyway; I've got other things to do now, so I'd better stop there, but I hope this has been helpful so far. - User:IMSoP 14:42, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Runen/Reenactment== *die Zeichen die du nicht darstellen kannst: die meisten davon sind Codepage 1E00 (Latin Extended Additional), insbes.

Actually it is no secret. Now all interwiki linking to zh.wikipedia use zh: with NO exception. There is a story about why we have zh-ch: and zh-tw: variants. At the very beginning of zh.wikipedia, there were only people from Mainland China engaging zh.wikipedia, therefore zh.wikipedia was written by simplified Chinese (SC) at the time. When peope from Hong Kong and Taiwan, who used traditional Chinese (TC) as writing language, came to participate in zh.wikipedia, they found some difficulties in reading articles and communicating with SC users. Somebody then went to apply for a new TC zh.wikipedia, and s/he got what s/he wanted (anecdotically that person is not even a Chinese user)! So the initial SC zh.wikipedia had the link name as zh-cn:, and the new TC zh.wikipedia had zh-tw:. However, some people strongly argued that SC and TC are actually one single language, with differences only in mutually comprehensible writing forms and a few idioms. SC and TC can be mutually converted by computer program, and they thought it is better to develop such a program instead of to divide SC and TC into two wikipedias, scattering resources. As a result, SC zh.wikipedia and TC zh.wikipedia were merged together again. zh-cn: and zh-tw: you now see at times are the remains from that period. Now the SC-TC conversion program has been employed, so there is no need to use zh-cn: and zh-tw: anymore. I hope my answer can suffice your question.

When it is converted to UTF-8 (as it is the case with every other Wikimedia project), this limitation will disappear. In the case of ''š'', it may actually appear correctly in some language versions of Internet Explorer (and other browsers that attempt to be bug-to-bug compatible with IE, like Opera or Mozilla), since they interpret illegal character codes as belonging to CP-1252 character set.

I just hope other people like the changes as well. == :ro:Mihai Eminescu, etc. == * Hall� Jmabel! I do not know if you received an answer regarding your question at :ro:Discuţie:Mihai Eminescu. There are considerable differences between :ro:Mihai Eminescu and [http://www.molddata.md/Literatura/eminescu.html] now. If you have further questions please leave a message at :ro:Discuţie:Mihai Eminescu. ** I'm sure ro: has some material that is ''not'' in [http://www.molddata.md/Literatura/eminescu.html]. The question is whether we have taken so much from that source as to constitute copyright violation. I'm not going to try to make that judgement, I leave it to the native Romanian speakers. If you (collectively) are confident, I won't argue. ** Also, have you had a look at the section http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihai_Eminescu#1873? Seems to be a mess, has a bunch of information about a much earlier period. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 17:47, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC) * :ro:Mihai Eminescu used / uses many links to Wikisource. I made a template :ro:Format:Wikisource inline and am not shure how to implement it (as a interwiki or as a external link). Normaly such links are only in the "''External links''" section. What is your opinion about this? **Implement it as an interwiki, even though it will typically go in an "external links" section. You don't really want the symbol showing up that indicates it is outside of the wikimedia world. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 17:47, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC) * [http://vs.aka-online.de/globalwpsearch/ GlobalWPSearch] is a help tool developed by :de:Benutzer:Aka. It searches titles with the same name in 18 Wikipedias see http://vs.aka-online.de/cgi-bin/globalwpsearch.pl?timeout=30&search=Mihai_Eminescu . As an improvement I suggested that it should detect also templates as Template:Copyvio, Template:Delete, Template:Interwikiconflict. ** Interesting. Have you seen http://www.wikiwax.com/? Just for English, but very cool. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 17:47, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC) * I made lots of efforts to identify the equivalent of Template:Disambig in many Wikipedias, see :de:Bild Diskussion:Logo Begriffskl�rung.png and would be happy if you could help to make somthing similar for the different variants of Template:Copyvio (Template:Copyvio1, Template:Copyvio2 etc.) in many languages. Normaly I used links like [http://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&from=Copy&namespace=10 pt:Special:Allpages/Copy (template namespace)] to do this. **I personally probably won't take this on, but I'll post it somewhere where someone else can take on the task. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 17:47, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC) * If meta:Image server overload 2005-03 is fixed :Image:Disambig.png could be used at Template:Disambig. **I left a note at Template talk:Disambig * Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Ich verstehe etwas, aber ich schreibe nicht. Therefore I write better in English. I'm glad, that You liked the translation into Estonian. Actually, when I readed you homepage, I started to feel, that you are good inside. And sometimes in such situations I want to make something good for them also. I found some mistakes also. First sentence: "My name is... ": "Minu nimi on..." (not mini). In middle of text word 'and' must be translated: 'ja'. And word 'homage' is not Estonian. It's 'austus', but I'm not sure, that it's proper place for that word under Vina. Maybe 'kodu' ('home') or 'islandi lambakoer' or 'minu koer' ('my dog') or 'minu hobi' or simply 'Vina' or empty string? You created a new artikle "Berlin": #REDIRECT Berliin. When I saw that, then I was surprized: Gangleri starts an article in Estonian about Irving Berlin! No, of course, that was city ... But it is not written in Estonian that way. It's like I would create in Deutch an article "Eesti": #REDIRECT Estland. Nobody deleted it, but it's somehow strange. Article :et:Vikipeedia is now correct. When I saw your letter, then our bureaucrat had fixed it. :et:Kasutaja:Taivo Please see Wikipedia talk:Template:Interwikiconflict :af:Gebruiker:Jcwf Please see User talk:GangleriBot/InterWiki/ambiguities 01 :af:Gebruiker:Jcwf == Hello from Commons == Hi Gangleri

I do not know what you mean by "Please contentrate on own activities in the future." I thought I was on a open access wiki called commons. If more people tell me things like that, I think I will leave wikimedia and really do my ''own'' activity. User:Tobias Conradi User_talk:Tobias Conradi 17:30, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) == :pt:template:lixo == Pt.wp differs in many aspects from other wikipedias. We, pt.wp, do not delete articles that have a good title. We are a small wikipedia, then it is usual to have a lot of red links. Those pages help us to find which area and subjects are missing from our wikipedia. We also have :pt:template:impr�prio. ''Lixo'' is used when somebody creates an article with clear nonsense. ''Impr�prio'' is used when somebody creates an article with content that cannot be used in any wikimedia project (but it is not a copyvio). And we also have our templates for "movedic" and "movebooks", but articles do not get deleted in the end of the process. Pt.wp used to be an inclusionist and eventualist redoubt, but nowadays, it is getting bigger, and new users tend to be deletionists. But there is hope, since we have shown that we can convert even hard deletionists. Bye! --User:E2m 21:33, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) It is OK to interwiki with "lixo" pages. Our lixo pages already have interwikis. -User:E2m 22:12, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) And that image is not good.

Followed you over from ga.wiki - thanks for your contributions there. The reason that I'm posting here, is to enquire about the Australian Aboriginal Flag that you've got on your main user page. What's the reason or meaning behind it? Regards, User:Lankiveil 12:19, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC). == about GlobalWPSearch == Hallo! Gangleri, I tried GlobalWPSearch. The problem is it only use latin alphabet which would be no usage for Chinese or other differnt letter wikis. And it only search English word or only one laguage word i.e. "goldfish" search result is only en wiki. Better improve it including all links. --User:Fanghong 08:30, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Icelandic Sheepdog in national languages== ...is now listed under Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Icelandic Sheepdog in national languages, FYI. User:Elf | User talk:Elf 05:50, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC) == interwiki sorting == Hi Gangleri! Could you please, give reason why you reordering interwiki links same time when adding other interwiki links? (recently [http://et.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vikipeedia:Saatkond&curid=6069&diff=0&oldid=76183 here]) It's custom in Estonian wiki to use languages in order of their name in their language not in order of language code. I saw you have made commons:User:Gangleri/sandbox/Template:Interwiki guidelines page and claiming there that Estonian Wikipedia is "''Ordered by language code:''" along with other Wikis, from which in my experience many use instead sorted by the language names. It wouldn't "harm" to add referencies based on which you claim it. --User:TarmoK 15:40, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC) Thanks for updating the Ynterwiki on . However, there's no reason for apologising for sorting by languagecode, as that's indeed how we sort ynterwiki. On the other hand, such an apology does not allow you to politic with your contributions. If you have problems with the way the contributors to the Frisian Wikipedia structure that Wikipedia, then you can come and discuss that with them. If you won't do that, then accept that structure as it is. User:Aliter 22:29, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Tartaria amulet== I moved it to Commons, though had no time to tell you about it until now.

On user talk page you mentioned that some months ago you had started to get information about where to insert and how to sort interlanguage links.

Thanks for your reply! --User:Eleassar777 18:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC) == Template Todo and Template Task == Hi, you left me a short msg on my italian user page about 2-3 wks ago, suggesting to have a look at your reimplementation of the Todo template, that allows portability and adds interesting features. WOW! I finally had time to have a look and found it really interesting, even if I didn't understand everything, a little because your page [http://jadesukka.homelinux.org:8180/betawiki/Betawiki:Templates/Template:Task/description] was really confusing for me (it didn't help the mix with finnish :-) ). Could you explain me how you implemented it (a sort of "Template:Task guide for Newbies" ;-) ) ? And could we do the same here in Wikipedia and eventually in the other language Wikipedias where a similar template exists (like German, Italian, French)? Answer me please.
