Dobre daan Malfidus. Kako si? Kako vam je ime?

Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Gesprochene Wikipedia

Hello Malfidus, thanks for the spoken article Britisches Englisch. It's very helpful to hear the examples from a native speaker. I just want to remark that BBC is articulated like an english word and not like the german letters. --ElRakı ?! 15:21, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm glad to be of help :) I'll look to correct that mistake sometime. --Dave ^(talk) 19:58, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Thank You for Your participation in "Gesprochene Wikipedia". I just listened to Your article. It has excellent quality. Please keep up the good work. Perhaps you would be interested in speaking the article "Germany" in the English wikipedia? I think it is of great interest, and it is one of the best descriptions of Germany I have read. I think with your perfect pronunciation and great technical skill you would be the best for the job. Greetings from Germany, Longbow4u 09:22, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Malfidus. I really enjoyed listening to your article. It makes a lot of sense to read that one by a native speaker. Thanks a lot :-) I wish I could vote for it on de:Wikipedia:Kandidaten für exzellente Aufnahmen, but I am not entitled to vote yet. One small remark: the sentence "Diese Aussprache hätten auch viele Sprecher angenommen, die nicht aus dem Süden Englands kommen und an diesen Schulen unterrichtet wurden." is duplicated in the recording. Cheers --Zeitlupe 00:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for voting in my RfA; I promise I'll wield my sacred mop with care. If you ever need me for anything, you know where to find me. Thanks again! -- Essjay · Talk 15:30, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Just take a look at this

Hi, I wasn´t aware of the fact that some people already praised your work for the German Wikiproject "Gesprochene Wikipedia", when I wrote the lines you can find under the provided link. Anyway, they certainly weren´t wrong.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kandidaten_f%C3%BCr_exzellente_Aufnahmen#Aktuelle_Nominierungen

I do hope that your work will be moved to "Excellent recordings", because I think it belongs there. Thanks for the nice and easy way how you´ve read this article. I - for my part - did enjoy these few minutes of listening. gumboyaya —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.176.24.90 (talk • contribs) 22:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Maybe you are interested in this project... --Michkalas 16:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Icelandic language

After noticing your recent Iceland-related contributions, I would like to ask you to vote for the Icelandic language article in the Article Creation and Improvement Drive, your vote would be greatly appreciated if Icelandic language is nominated for ACID so that we can collaboratively improve the article. I would also like to take this opportunity to invitie you to become a member of WikiProject Iceland, as Michkalas has done above. Thank you! Max Naylor Max Naylor 15:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

G'day

Ég er nú ekki sammála þér um það hvort það sé "Góðan daginn" eða "Góða daginn". Flest fólk segir "Góðan daginn" en ég las á vísindavefnum að það væri vitlaust. Þú ættir að sjá afhverju:

Góður	Dagur	Góður dagur	Góði dagurinn
Góðan¹	Dag	Góðan dag	Góða daginn²
Góðum	Degi	Góðum degi	Góða deginum
Góðs	Dags	Góðs dags	Góða dagsins

1 - "n" þegar lýsingarorðið er eitt og sér.
2 - Það stigbreytist ekki með "n" þegar "dagur" er með greini.

Þetta hljómar samt alls ekki rangt vegna þess að fólk notar þetta alltaf en ef þú prófar að segja "Góðan deginum" þá fattar þú hversu rangt þetta hljómar fyrir mér. --S.Örvarr.S 01:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lol... I thought you were Icelandic but when I viewed an old version of your userpage I found out the truth.. let me put this into English for you --S.Örvarr.S 01:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ on whether it's "Góðan daginn" or "Góða daginn". If you look at the table below you should see why:

nominative	Góður	Dagur	Góður dagur	Góði dagurinn
accusative	Góðan	Dag	Góðan dag	Góða daginn
dative	Góðum	Degi	Góðum degi	Góða deginum
genitive	Góðs	Dags	Góðs dags	Góða dagsins

Although folk constantly use "Góðan daginn" it is wrong when using another noun with an article. You probably don't see why but it just sounds wrong. Like saying "a men", that's wrong to a native speaker but it might not sounds so to a foreigner. --S.Örvarr.S 01:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Be so kind to look at my proposal on the talkpage for this article. --S.Örvarr.S 09:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cambridge

Hi. I support your edits (reverts) of the Cambridge article. As it is not blatant vandalism, the Three Revert Rule still applies. If they edit it again, and you revert again, that will be your 3 edits. Drop me a message if you want me to do some reverts for you :). Tiddly Tom 17:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message of support. The reason I didn't revert again is because the original comment was posted by an admin, and I don't feel like getting into an edit war. I've left a message on that user's talkpage in case their account has been used by an unauthorised person. Please feel free to remove the comment completely if you wish - I certainly think it's absurd enough to merit being deleted without warning, as per WP:CITE#Unsourced material! --Malfidus ~ (talk) 17:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you have seen or not, but I did find one reference to nudist cyclist [1], but I don't believe that one person doing it means that it should be included in the article. Tiddly Tom 18:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.
