Need your help also
Hey,
You did some clean-up work on my article for Hampstead, North Carolina and also pointed me in the right direction to help me in further articles I create. Thank you. I have added more information to the Hampstead, North Carolina page and I am trying to put it in an infobox. Can you reformat the information into a infobox that doesent have to go by one of the templates? I would appreciate it if you could help me out there. Thanks.

Need your help
Hello doco,
You most likely do not know me, but I've done some work on the "Low Germanic languages" article and I've come up with a sentence which accentuates the diffences between high and low Germanic languages more so than the previous on.Problem is, I can only give an English,High German, Dutch and Afrikaanse translation. According to your userbox you speak near fluent Platt/Low Saxon.And according to that category, you're the one of the few registered wikipedian to be fluent in Platt as well.
Could you help me out and translate the following sentence?
- Could you tell me what this sentence means? I don't understand low German languages you see.
Thanks in advance,

Category:Hauptbahnhof
Sehr geehrter Herr Doco,
Sind Sie nicht der Meinung, dass die oben genannte Kategorie nicht unbenannt sein soll? Ich schlage vor eine Umbenennung "Category:Hauptbahnhöfe". Wie steht's damit? – Jared Preston 13:33, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Kamener Kreuz
das Kamener Kreuz ist bei weitem nicht das zweitstärkst befahrene Kreuz in Deutschland und schon gar nicht in Europa. die stärkstbefahrenen Kreuze Deutschlands (Jahr 2000):
Frankfurter Kreuz 308950 (343050 mit B43) Köln-Ost 267900 Leverkusen 226150 Hilden 222650 Offenbach 221600 Stuttgart 219200 M-Nord 206400 WK Frankfurt 200600 NWK Frankfurt 198000 Bad Homburg 195950 Heumar 187950 Köln-West 184600
Da sind die 160000 die täglich durchs Kamener Kreuz fahren (am Brückenbauwerk selbst sogar nur 90000) ein Kinkerlitzchen dagegen. Das hat schon seinen Grund, warum ich die betreffende Stelle geändert hab
Gainas
You might wish to see 400 AD, before acting so hastily (and with a somewhat snarky edit comment). Given Gainas' importance to that year and the Byzantine Empire it seems to me he should have an article. That there is little info available on Gainas makes it rather difficult to expand the article, no? As for the clean-up, you could easily have done that yourself, had you been so inclined. •Jim62sch• 14:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Railway stations of Budapest
Hi,
I've just seen that a few days ago you moved Eastern Railway Station (Budapest) to Budapest keleti pályaudvar (and did the same with the other two railway stations of the city). I don't think this was a good idea, for several reasons:
- English Wikipedia has a policy of using the English names whenever it's possible (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). An average reader, when looking at the article title, won't know what's this article about, unless they open it and read it. The word pályaudvar will be totally unintelligible for the majority of them.
- You wrote (in the edi summary of the Keleti station) that this was to keep in line with a convention of using original names, but glancing at a few randomly chosen railway station article from non-English-speaking countries it seems that this is not a convention, some of them use English names, some of them don't. (Also, you don't seem consistent since you didn't move the articles of the other Hungarian stations.)
- "Budapest keleti pályaudvar" is incorrect in Hungarian. The city name itself is never a part of the name of railway stations, unless it's the only station of the city. (It's incorrect grammatically too.)
Can we please move back these three articles to their previous names?
– Alensha talk 19:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually those sites mention it as "Budapest – Keleti pályaudvar", not "Budapest keleti pályaudvar", something has to be between the city and the station name, either a comma or a –, and Keleti has to be written with a capital K. Also, these sites are travel planning sites if I understand them well, and so of course they have to list the city's name too, but in Hungary it's simply called Keleti pályaudvar.
I still think they should be moved back to the names like Eastern Railway Station, or at least Keleti Railway Station (if I remember correctly this is what we can hear on Intercity trains when they greet the passengers in three languages including English). The current names are too confusing for non-Hungarians. We generally translate all that's translatable ("street" instead of "utca", "road" instead of "út", "square" instead of "tér") so that there won't be an abundance of foreign words to confuse the English-speaking target audience of this Wikipedia. – Alensha talk 20:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Budapest keleti pályaudvar - Serinde 16:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Something looks wrong with the templates you set up - on Tatra Electric Railway there are weird numbers and pipes in the tables. "3|Veľký Slavkov" for example. What are the numbers supposed to represent? Stevage 03:31, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
List of rail accidents
There is currently a discussion about whether we should set criteria for inlcusion of accients on the List of rail accidents page, and if so what the criteria should be.

Re: Trains WikiProject and railway station importance
In rating articles, I usually go with what I call the "culturally or historically significant" rule of thumb with regards to rail transport technology and history worldwide. I've tried to put this idea into words on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Assessment page (see the Importance scale section) and so far haven't seen any dissenting opinions on the guidelines specified there. Generally, I look for notability statements (such as superlatives [first, largest, busiest, etc.], whether the structure is a listed building or equivalent status, notable historic events that occurred there, etc.) in the lead section and combine that information with my own experience in researching rail transport topics. There's more on subject notability in the Trains WikiProject MOS (another collection of guidelines where I have yet to see any major dissenting opinions). If I don't see any notability statements like these in the lead, then I usually examine my own familiarity with the subject and how important the topic seems to me in an understanding of rail transport history and technology.
I don't claim to be the Trains WikiProject Article Ratings Guru, I'm just the guy who's been doing a lot of them, and if there are any specific ratings that should be changed, you don't need my permission to be bold and make the update. Slambo (Speak) 14:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Baureihe E 19
Hi, sorry, Ich hab dein Bild wieder herausgenommen. Erstens sieht man viel weniger von der Maschine als auf dem Bild vorher, zweitens sieht man ausgerechnet das "Logo" im Adler bei deinem Foto überdeutlich, bei dem ich mir nicht sicher bin, ob man es so zeigen darf. Auf meinen Fotos ist das Logo entweder abgedeckt oder (links unten) so klein, dass man es nicht sehen kann. Außerdem hattest Du die Bildbeschreibung gar nicht angepasst. Ich habe aber gerade vom jetzt wieder aktuellen Bild eine höher aufgelöste Version hochgeladen. Bis später, Benedictus 85.182.10.130 20:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, du hast das Bild ja schon wieder so wahllos eingebunden. Hab es jetzt zurechtgerückt... 85.182.12.14 12:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Germany
I noticed you are going through the articles I had tagged giving them importance rating. I did not do that at the time as I was unsure about it back then. Since then we discussed some of the ratings and came up with the Mid rating for cities smaller than 100K. I am still unsure about other bodies like municalities or districts, but I got a few hundred cities still to tag. Agathoclea 20:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- I just rechecked Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Germany/Archive_2#General_Importance and we did not specify a lower limit for cities, but it might be worth bringing up again. Anyway Kusma would say "There can be a few 1000 in Mid". Have a read and tell me what you think. Agathoclea 21:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Germany tagging
Thank you for your help with the Germany quality and importance assessments! If you have good ideas how to define "importance" / "relevance" in a way that is easy to write down, please help fix what I wrote at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Germany/Assessment#Importance_assessment. The current text is probably not very useful yet for people who want to start tagging and (b) does not accurately describe current practice, which is that I have more or less decided what I call "Top importance", then set an arbitrary threshold for High-importance cities, and tagged non-city articles based on how I feel about them. That is a terribly unscientific process, but I am not sure whether a good process is even possible for a topic the size of all of Germany. I just hope my ratings are not off by more than one level, and that should be good enough. The quality ratings are much more important anyway. Thanks again, and happy tagging! Kusma (討論) 23:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- I am totally in awe seeing (here and here) how many articles you are assessing that I've been too lazy to do so far. Have a barnstar.

Hamm (Westfalen) railway station GA nomination failed
Thanks for nominating the article for GA status. Unfortunately, I have had to fail the article because of a lack of inline citations and a few other issues. My comments can be found on the articles's talk page. Hope this helps, Green451 02:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Rating Altlußheim and Angelbachtal
Hi, thanks for rating the two articles Altlußheim and Angelbachtal. I had a quick question though. Why did you tag Angelbachtal as unreferenced and Altlußheim as not lacking in references? I do not disagree with your choices necessarily, but I do not see a qualitative difference between the two articles. Both were translated (somewhat freely) from the German Wikipedia, but those article did not contain any references either. I would have expected that Altlußheim be marked as unreferenced as well. I just wanted to get an idea of your decision process. Thanks! imars 06:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Rating of smaller towns, importance scale
I noticed you rating a number of different towns in the past week or so. I am puzzled why you rate the towns as low importance. The importance scale for Germany projects states that "smaller towns" should be rated as Mid, not Low.imars 17:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
