US-German Relations
[edit]"Support" = cause. I was attempting to "save" your usebox in userspace.
However, since you made the box, and wish that wording, I'll just move it to your userspace for you User:Gamgee/Userboxes/User USA-Germany as per WP:GUS. Enjoy : )
- Jc37 13:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I saw your "help" userbox on your main page : )
- This quote should hopefully explain:
- ""It should be noted that use of userboxes related to beliefs, ideologies, viewpoints on controversial issues, and ethical convictions is strongly discouraged at Wikipedia, and it is likely that very soon all these userboxes will be deleted or moved to userspace. Their use and creation is not recommended at this time." - Wikipedia:Jimbo on Userboxes
- I hope this helps : )
- - Jc37 14:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is just a suggestion, but you might consider moving your userboxes from your main page to User:Gamgee/Userboxes. Feel free to look at my page for ideas. - Jc37 14:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Jc37, I'm not totally sure if it's the same thing we´re talking about, but I already did this with some of my boxes. If you don´t mind, take a short look at the source code and tell me if this is what you're meaning. Gamgee 16:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sure : )
- I'll show you, and you can revert what you don't like : ) - Jc37 16:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I did the move. I just added a quick link to the userbox sub-page on your main page, I presume you'll do something more "pretty" with it : )
- I also might suggest turning your individual userbox code into further sub-pages (like you did with US-German relations).
- Hope this helped : )
- - Jc37 16:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you once again. I think that I get along with it more or less... Gamgee 20:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Transport by city
[edit]Hi. I see you reverted some changes I made regarding Category:Transport by city. I think you may be misunderstanding the way categories work here. The general practice is to place articles in the most specific category possible. Wikipedia:Categorization says that "articles should not usually be in both a category and its subcategory." So, for example, Category:Transport in Hanover does not need to be listed directly in Category:Transport by city, because it's also in Category:Transport in Germany by city, which is a subcategory of Category:Transport by city. The same logic applies to many of the articles and categories you edited.
Also, please be careful when making claims about vandalism. We take vandalism very seriously, and good faith edits should never be construed as such. I hope I was able to make things clear. Please let me know if you have any questions. - EurekaLott 02:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your edits to this article. Do you know of any cites or sites that can help improve the article? Bearian 19:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- You're welcome. But sorry, the only thing I know about is the article in the german wikipedia about the de:Jagdschein. When I have a little more time I can try to translate the essence of it for the english article.
Danke. Bearian 18:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
iPhree
[edit]A {{prod}} template has been added to the article iPhree, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. PaulC/T+ 15:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Kluge
[edit]Hi Gamgee
So it's "Wise" Berliner not "Intelligent." What I'd originally put was what my translator software threw up. I'd also seen "clever" somewhere. But "wise" is the better word - thanks for altering it.
I have had something of a fascination with Potsdamer Platz for over a decade, and I wrote much of the article, and I'm often tinkering with it, adding new details.
Cheers Tonythepixel 18:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome, Tonythepixel! I myself am often quite unsure about how appropriate my English is, but I just thought that wise has a little bit more common touch as opposed to intelligent. Gamgee 19:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Germany Invitation

--Zeitgespenst (talk) 22:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 23:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum
[edit]Hi Gamgee,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
- Each casebook will have a subpage.
- Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
- It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
- Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
- I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.
What you can do now:
- 1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
- 2. If you're a law student,
- Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
- Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.
- (You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
- 3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.
Regards, Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 20:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

 Dear Gamgee, You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:19, 10 January 2022 (UTC) To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list. | |
