User talk:Maaya

Elisabeth of Bavaria

hallo Mayaa, danke für Deine Mail. also was ich da lese ich ja wirklich sehr verwunderlich und komisch. es gibt zwei Dinge auf die Du achten solltest:

1) Wikipedia soll eine Enzyklopedie sein. also alles was Point-of-view ist, gehört eigentlich weg. dieser Artikel scheint mir zu sehr belastet mit point-of-views. 2) second I would say who exactly is the author? David Kunzle? Wikipedia ist nicht dazu gedacht, eine Ansammlung von verschiedenen Zeitungs/Magazinartikeln zu werden. Das andere Problem ist, daß der User anonym ist, normalerweise sollte ein User registriert sein, wenn er soviel zu einem Artikel dazuschreibt.

my proposals? I would delete the whole section that the anonymous user contributed. Maybe parts of it can be added to the main article. oder Du kannst den ganzen Artikel, der dazu gefügt wurde, in die "Discussion" page hineinschieben. Dazu darfst du eine copy+paste move machen, also den Text kopieren, in die Discussion einfügen, und den vom Artikel streichen.

you can of course also try to contact the user and ask him what the idea was, where is the information from, why was it just added like that at the bottom and not integrated, etc..? Aber so einfach einen ganz neuen Aufsatz dazuzuschreiben geht nicht. er sollte integriert werden und nicht parallel laufen.

hoffe ich konnte Dir helfen, falls du noch Fragen hast nur zu... lg

Re: Leimen

Original message: User talk:GrafZahl#Leimen

You're welcome. To complicate matters, there is a third town called Leimen, in Rhineland-Palatinate (German wikipedia has an article: de:Leimen (Pfalz)). Therefore I made Leimen a disambiguation page. --GrafZahl 10:29, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Query

Hello, would you mind having a look at Babel Barnstar for Translation, as you have been quite active in this section recently. Cheers. Lectonar 12:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Deine Hilfe

thanks for always helping out with the translations and proofreadings, really appreciate it. Gryffindor 01:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Translations

Hi !

I see that you have done quite a bit of work on translation, so I'd like to ask for some help: I am currently translating de:Stadtmauer into the equivalent defensive walls . The German version is well-written, quite technical, and rather longish so I'd appreciate if (at some point) you could give me a second opinion on what I've written. I am especially unsure of military terms such as "embrasures". ACH 23:27, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:United States of Greater Austria

hi Maaya,

I have a question regarding how to properly translate "Groß-Österreich" into english, "Great-" or "Greater-"? I believe it is probably "Greater-" but I'm really not sure. Maybe if you could take a look into the page, that would be greatly appreciated. cheers Gryffindor 10:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

hallo Maaya, yes it is confusing I agree. Lectonar was pointing out to me as well, how do you translate "Großdeutsches Reich" as well? na ja, in any case it seems that now it's been decided to keep it a "Greater Austria", since you seem to agree with it as well, I guess we'll just keep it that way until someone else can convince us otherwise. thanks again for your help as usual :-) Gryffindor 22:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Hanashi

Hi, Maaya. I think Hanashi can be taken to AfD now. It probably would have been safe to do it before, but I was still learning back then. There are instructions on how to nominate it at the bottom of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks, Kjkolb 03:52, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Frohes Neujahr

hallo Maaya,

danke für Deine Nachricht. Ja sorry, bin noch immer im Urlaub, deshalb die verspätete Antwort, komme nur selten zum Internet. Das leidige Thema der Sisi ist mir durchaus bekannt, ich finde den jetzigen Namen "Elisabeth of Bavaria" absurd, weil einem Ottonormalverbraucher überhaupt nicht bewußt ist, dass diese Elisabeth of Bavaria (oder "in Bavaria" was auch immer) die berühmte Kaiserin ist. Ich finde man sollte den Namen verwenden, unter dem die Person am meisten bekannt war, also sprich "Empress Elisabeth of Austria" oder sowas ähnliches. Ausnahmen zu der Wikipedia Regel von Gemahlinnen gibt es, z. B. Marie Antoinette, die laut Wikipedia Regeln doch eigentlich anders genannt werden müßte. Na ja, ist ein schwieriges Thema hier, zugegeben. Ich verstehe einerseits die Regel, finde aber dass es auch Ausnahmen geben sollte und würde für mehr Flexibilität plädieren. Aber da scheint es im Augenblick keine Mehrheit zu geben, da kann man nix machen. Viel Glück mit Deiner Prüfung, alles Gute. Gryffindor 12:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Image help

Hello there! I see that you're somewhat of an expert on images here on Wikipedia. I'm fairly new when it comes to uploading images and I want to make sure I'm doing everything 'by the book'. I've uploaded Image:SupernaturalTitleCard.jpg and Image:DieRheintöchter.jpg. If you get time, do you think maybe you could look them over to make sure everything was done correctly? Or maybe point me to someone who can? I'd hate to not get 'caught' at this point and upload a bunch more, thinking I'm doing things right only to have everything deleted a couple months later. Thanks so much for your help! -Maaya 01:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:SupernaturalTitleCard.jpg looks good. Image:DieRheintöchter.jpg needs an explanation as to why it's in the public domain: in this case, it appears that it's because the image was published before 1923. The image description page could also use some more details, such as what it's a picture of, and when it was published. --Carnildo 22:04, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Ludwig II

Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Tom Harrison ^Talk 15:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I was too hasty in giving you this warning; I see you have not been reverting too much, and have been using the talk page. Please excuse my excessive zeal. Tom Harrison ^Talk 15:30, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Mediation Cabal Request

Hello. I have reviewed your MedCab request and taken a look at the article. It seems, other than some pure vandals, this article has stabilized. Would that be correct or do you need help still? Please let me know, you can use the case page or leave me a message on my talk page. Best regards. --Wgfinley 02:50, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Germany

Hi, I saw you translated a new article when I posted my latest one as a proofreading candidate. Just wanted to let you know I also listed it on the Portal under the new articles announcements. We've taken to listing new articles and finally completed stubs there - new stubs don't count :). Not sure if you knew about that. If you don't want your new article listed there please feel free to remove it and of course, going forward, posting them there will be up to you. But please check it out. We also keep Germany DYKs, anniversaries and News there, so if you come across something that might be a nice bit of trivia, it would be great if you could update the DYKs. Same for the News. If I've forgotten anything there was quite a bit of discussing going on on the talk page. Please also check out the WP:GSWN... there's a LOT of communicating going on there. Happy Wiki-ing! --Mmounties (Talk) 05:48, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Glad to have you back. I'm just reading over your article trying to find a nice new bit of DYK. I'll check your towns and districts while I'm at it.  :) --Mmounties (Talk) 05:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Fettes Brot

I have finished the tranlsation of Fettes Brot. You might want to give it a look over. - Rainwarrior 17:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:52704.jpg

I tagged this image as "no license" since you claim it's public domain based on it's tagging on the German Wikipedia, but the image have since then beem deleted from the German wiki because the license info was "unglaubwürdig" (see links to German deletion process I posted on the image page itself). --Sherool (talk) 09:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:DerSpiegel170905.jpg)

However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Muddled English tenses

I'm afraid a sentence that you added to Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces, Brühl a long time ago doesn't make sense in English, and it isn't possible to tell what you meant. It must have been either:

• Until 1994, Augustusburg was used as a reception hall for guests of state by the German President. [If this use stopped in 1994]
• Since 1994, Augustusburg has been used as a reception hall for guests of state by the German President. [If this use started in 1994]

Could you be so kind as to revise the article as appropriate. Thank you. Jamie Mercer 14:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
