[edit] Edit summary
Hello. Please remember to always provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy editing. JoaoRicardotalk 14:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Popular name
On Wikipedia, the standard is to name an article by the most common name. That's why articles stay at Bill Clinton and not William Jefferson Clinton, etc. Mike H. That's hot 18:30, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] de:Rasse (Volkszählung der USA)
Dieser Schrott bereitet uns keinen Nice Day. Bitte fernab der German Wikipedia Deutsch lernen. Yopohari 08:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:User-AmE-0
As I'm sure you know, user templates are opinions shared by several members of Wikipedia. They are templates employed on individual user pages only, and do not claim to represent the official shared position of the Wikipedia collective. Still, some self-appointed dictators feel it is their responsibility to control individual expression on user pages. Template:User-AmE-0, for example, was deleted by User:Kelly Martin; after being recreated, it was tagged for deletion by User:DreamGuy and its category removed by User:Carbonite. There are but a few people who want to control personal expression on user pages at Wikipedia and hundreds of us who do not want these few to succeed. In standing together to revert tyranny, despotism and censorship of individual expression on our personal pages, we can easily overcome these dictator-wanna-bees. Wikipedia can be for the people. Please help us oppose those in the Arbitration Committee Elections who would turn Wikipedia into a dictatorship of controlled articles and user pages: Kelly Martin, Jpgordon, Fred Bauder, James F., Jayjg, and Mindspillage.
If you feel passionately about this, you can join us in alerting other users of these individual tags, that their personal expression on their user pages is being censored by people like User: Carbonite. To help, just go to any of the templates that User:Carbonite has tried to change, and alert the people in those categories that they are not alone in their outrage and opposition. --لæmäļ al diη 21:59, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I cannot vote in the ArbCom elections this time, otherwise I would indeed investigate further, and if what you are saying is true, withhold my vote from these people. Deletion of harmles and often amusing templates like this is not a healthy thing for Wikipedia at all. Thanks for the heads-up. Terrafire 09:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

- Hi Terrafire, I reverted the message above because it was left by a banned user (a sockpuppet of User:Zephram Stark). He was leaving the message in a "vote-stacking" attempt, which is not permitted by Wikipedia policy. Sorry for any confusion. Carbonite | Talk 11:41, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Basic Quality and trash
See: here: "Ein (...) US-Journalist hat sich die englische Ausgabe der Wikipedia vorgenommen und darin "Müll" gefunden (...) Wikipedia-Gründer Jimmy Wales stimmte ihm zu." - "Müll" in German is "trash" in English. If Jimmy Wales means, the worst articles are 'trash', it seems to be so too. Would you like to get some bad examples in the en:WP - 'articles' they are in the de:WP speedy deleted? I don't think someone should to try to set such substubs (called 'trash' by this journalist and by Jimmy Wales) into the de:WP, they make only problems. --Yopohari 07:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- I take the point, but I was just trying to fill a hole in the German Wikipedia - to write something that a native speaker could expand on later. As you didn't have an article for the subject, I don't see why it was deleted instead of being copyedited. That just seems to be taking the easier option at the expense of quality of content.
