Hello Lokomotiv, how we have seen, the district Neunkirchen (short NK) in the south of Wiener Neustadt (WN) in Lower Austria is missing. My question is, if it possible to correct this. Many thanks in advance K@rl (talk) 20:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC) de:User:Karl Gruber[reply]

Thanx a lot. I've done it :-) --Локоmotiv, 02:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Lokomotiv! I added "langswitch to Template:Arrondissements of Paris so the text displays differently depending on the language.

Welcome, Dear Patroller !

Counter Vandalism Unit

Hi Lokomotiv !

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller ! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use you help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part. There is a short video tutorial which addresses some things you may not know about.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons. --Màñü飆¹5 talk 02:12, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for renaming

Thanks for renaming of the book by Xenophon. I had been slow when compiling data, session expired and I forgot to post again the right name for the file.... :-( --Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 08:37, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Query

Hi! I've noticed you often participate in patrolling new pages. Have you thought about requesting adminship? I'd be happy to nominate you if you'd like. Jafeluv (talk) 07:24, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion Request help

Hello! Thanks with helping me with deletion requests. The guy who had uploaded a copyrighted photo of a laptop with the windows logo reuploaded it after it's deletion. Can you help me to make the deletion request? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:ASUS_I.jpg this is what i managed to do. Please help me to make it for speedy deletion

Some baklava for you!

Thanks for helping in the renaming of these icons! -- Tuválkin 08:27, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting redirects

Hi, I noticed that when renaming this file File:Piazza di nouro.jpg, you then proceeded to tag the redirect as a duplicate. This is not the right procedure. Redirects are not created by accident, they are created deliberately and should be retained unless there is a good reason not to. If the file is a newly uploaded and renamed file, then the redirect can be dispensed with. See Commons:File renaming and Commons:Deletion_policy#Duplicates. Thanks :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 04:21, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply :-). Part of the reason we keep redirects is so that people outside of wikimedia (eg on the rest of the internet) who have been using the file can still easily find it. For example if they use it in their publication and want to link back to the source (to fulfill the license requirements for example), their link needs to find the file. Even if it is a very bad name like File:IMG_123.JPG or File:MizSpeltt file PNG.JPG we want a redirect so that their link works. Also consider links from archived pages or in page histories, it is good to be able to find the file being discussed, even if it was renamed. It costs us very little to keep the redirect, and it stops someone uploading another file by that bad name.
I've placed the table view "here". Thanks. --Dэя-Бøяg 01:37, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rights

Hi DerBorg. I know people have asked you the same question before, but have you ever thought about requesting admin rights? :) Trijnsteltalk 22:41, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still no ambitions in becoming an admin? ;) What exactly stops you from requesting it? Maybe I can help... or convince you. Trijnsteltalk 19:55, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BRT Curitiba

DeBorg, first, thanks for your help fixing my mistake. Regarding your second correction, in the RIT system, all bus stops use Curitiba's landmark tubes, but technically, a simple bus stop is different from a transfer station. Therefore, I do not think it is appropriate to put them together. At a station local feeders transfer passenger to express buses and other trunk line buses. Isolated tubes are usually located in neighborhoods, stations at the main system axis.--Mariordo (talk) 01:14, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops! My bad due to a lack of knowledge about BRT. No problem, I revert my edits. --Dэя-Бøяg 01:19, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another adminship suggestion

Hello DerBorg, how are you? I'm wondering, would you please consider running for adminship? I'd be happy to nominate you. Adminship is really no big deal, and I'm sure the admin tools would be very useful for you anyway. Please let me know what you think. Kind regards, Mathonius (talk) 03:32, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editor @ ar.wiki

Hello. I would like to inform you that I have granted you editor flag at the Arabic Wikipedia, all your edits there will be automatically marked as patrolled. Best regards.--Avocato (talk) 07:02, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guten abend. I assume this edit was a mistake, with which you removed the copyright tag from the image I found in Category:Media without a license: needs history check today. Please be more careful when editing such image details because it could well have been deleted for lack of a licence except that I reviewed the history and found the problem. Ww2censor (talk) 00:26, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whooops, what a shame! I'm sorry, yes it was a mistake, of course. Removing the {{Check categories}} tag I've also inadvertently blanked the "int:license" section. Sorry for problem. --Dэя-Бøяg 13:22, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Year 2013 R2 Announcement

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open!

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Proposed category move

Hi, I've proposed the category move of Category:Train station in Monaco that, for what I've seen on the history, was created by you. I've added some details and links to explain the reasons (the existance of two disused stations: Monte Carlo (rack rw., see file) and Monte Carlo (SNCF), existed along with Monaco-Monte Carlo). Anyway, pardon if the procedure was wrong. Regards. --Dэя-Бøяg 23:44, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem for me. I don't remember why I created this category for only one station… Regards. Pymouss Let’s talk - 22:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
