Please have a look at Dead Tissue. I'm pretty confident that this can be speedied A1/A7/G1/hoax, but the author has removed the tag twice now and has not responded to my concerns on either xyr talk page or mine. I've no desire to be baited into a revert war over this material. Thanks for your help! Serpent's Choice 13:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I need to stop being SO lazy at times! Wildthing61476 21:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm currently away at a beach resort on holiday but wanted to make a point of apologising to you. About 10 days ago I attempted to stop a vandal who had vandalised several articles without being reverted using our mass rollback feature. In my (unnecessary and stupid haste) I hit the wrong user link and began reverting your edits instead. I quickly realised however already about 50 firefox windows opened - freezing windows, and so to stop I tried to reset my PC, which resulted in the blue screen of death, and my being unable to reboot (karma!). The next day I left for my vacation.
Anyway, I dont even know if you noticed (I havent even tried to catch up on past messages) - but, I apologise and hope my doofusness (?!) didnt inconvenience you. Thanks and once again sorry! Glen 11:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Check also WP:ANI#Countries. He's apparently changing all maps too. Your rv's only reverted the accession date in some cases. •NikoSilver• 14:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
He's started spamming the same message on the talk pages of every EU member. Do you think he should be cautioned against doing this, or is this accepted practice? yandman 15:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't have any opinion on this to be honest, but I can't stand his way of acting. By the way, he's removed the warnings from his talkpage twice, I've given him a {{Wr4}}, so would you mind blocking him if he does this again? (he removed the stop signs from other warnings a long time ago, but I didn't think this merited reversion). Thanks. yandman 15:59, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Not spamming, starting the very discussion which should have happened in the first place to justify a map which is non-standard and potentially POV. Please assume good faith in future. And don't use warnings without due cause. JamesAVD 12:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Very nice, thanks! :-) Kusma (討論) 16:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I left a message on his talk page as well. I know it is controversial among admins, but I think it makes sense. If the person persists and is blocked, for example, the warnings remain until he/she is reinstated. And we all know it is always in the history. Rarelibra 16:57, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your quick response to my report of vandalism by User:75.2.250.145. I wanted to point out that the normal protocol of notifying the User is going to be rather difficult here, as indicated by their own tag line: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tammy_Duckworth&diff=prev&oldid=85420515. Their talk page is either disabled or not present, and the user page itself is a "Special Page." Ergo, there is no way to follow normal policy of notification. As well, the language utilized in the edit summaries is remarkable close in nature to an editor permanently block by admin user: Gamaliel. This user was JoeHazleton, and the block was extended indefinitely specifically because o his aggressive behavior and use of sock-puppets and different accounts (including an IP address account) to bypass the block. If I am wrong,then I apologize deeply. However, in the discussion page, it is routine to seek peer review, especially before deleting entire sections. This was not sought prior to the deletions. That, coupled with the hinky account leads me to think something is wrong here. Perhaps expressing this concern in WP: Vandalism was incorrect. If so, blame me for making a noob mistake. However, common sense suggests something is amiss. I would ask that you take a close look at the situation,and possibly confer with admin User: Gamaliel. Arcayne 09:13, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Your report at WP:AIV
As the IP gave a decent explanation for his edits in the edit summary, the section blanking was not vandalism, but a content dispute. Futhermore, please talk to editors first (warn them) before reporting them at WP:AIV. That page is only for clear vandals who need to be blocked after not reacting to warnings. Thank you, and happy editing, Kusma (討論) 09:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
The German barnstar of national merit is more than deserved for your excellent work in maintaining the Germany portal and for your extraordinary contributions to Germany-related articles in Wikipedia. I, Badbilltucker, can't think of a more deserving recipient. Badbilltucker 16:45, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Kusma, I just wanted to let you know that User:Xoloz nominated me for admin and I caved in. Since you offered to nominate me before I thought I'd let you know that I'm not snubbing your offer, but decided to go with Xoloz's since I've worked "under" him at WP:DRV for the last months, so he was able to write a nomination from experience. This is also not a solicitation for your !vote, just a repeat of my thanks, and as always any online or offline feedback is always appreciated. Viele Grüsse, trialsanderrors 19:23, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Hallo Kusma, möchte nur kurz Deine Aufmersamkeit auf diese Diskussion lenken [ [1]]. Er ist wieder da ... Gruß: Eynre -- 84.62.63.136 07:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, I didn't quite know what do since Baba had for some reason redirected to the Baba (disambiguation) article. I have a question: can you show me where there is a list of names that redirect to articles so that I can fix 'em up, or does no such thing exist on Wikipedia? Arigato!

Hey Kusma,
thanks for the invitation to the Wikiproject: German.
I had a question regarding editing.
Q: Is there a way in which i can make changes to a text and save it but the changes are not visible on the page?
I want to do this because i cant work on a project at a stretch.

You've got a real point regarding his importance to Germany, which I can't dispute. I only including him in the Top category because he's included on the Wikipedia CD release. The article now has that banner as well. As you are more experienced in these matters than I am, I think you'd probably be in a better position to determine whether that should be a factor in their importance to the project or not. Badbilltucker 00:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Can you move Strange (disambiguation) to just Strange? It's saying that I can't do it for some reason? Can you do it since you're an administrator? Thanks a bunch! Power level (Dragon Ball) 03:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Angel dust (disambiguation) should be moved to Angel Dust shoudn't it? Or should it be moved to Angel dust? Which one is he proper noun? Power level (Dragon Ball) 14:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Fine by me, I think I got them all now anyway. I'll carry on with the list of towns where I will make no assesment, just tagging them for later assessment. Agathoclea 16:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm still pretty new with user talk pages, so I wasn't sure if I should place my reply to your comments on my page or yours - so I did both.. Good point about the double categories Former German colonies and German colonies. Which category would you keep? "Former German colonies" appears to be more accurate. If there were any German colonies today, then "German colonies" would be appropriate. What do you think? - 52 Pickup 11:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Two weeks ago I couldn't even spell administratur and now I
are one (in no small part thanks to your support). Now that I checked out those new buttons I realize that I can
unleash mutant monsters on unsuspecting articles or
summon batteries of laser guns in their defense. The move button has now acquired
special powers, and there's even a feature to
roll back time. With such
awesome new powers at my fingertips I will try to
tread lightly to avoid causing
irreversible damage and getting into any
wheel wars. Thanks again and let me know whenever I can be
of use.

Hey Kusma, thanks for the message on the Esperanza's talk page. I'm not sure you'll get a large response to it, as right now everyone is focused on changing Esperanza, but I read it, and I thought you made some good, well reasoned points. Thanks for the good luck wishes, and I hope Esperanza can be a good thing for Wikipedia's community once again. Th ε Halo Θ 13:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
You noticed that edit and the following attempt to add spam. Thanks for the revert. Any suggestions how to proceed further in regard to that edit? A test-template seems somehow not fitting for the above edit. Agathoclea 17:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
You know, it's funny. I immediately started reconsidering the whole concept in a positive way after reading your message. I've enabled my email, and I'm going to put a link to the template substitution page on my user page for reference -- it's going to be a matter of memorization, and if I can consult it easily and quickly, the frequency of use will do that. I don't know, perhaps that mop will be nice in a little while. I'd definitely want to fulfill the 1FA suggestion first, though. For my own skills and the 'pedia as much as for good impressions. What other issues should I consider as I go forward towards an RfA sometime in the late spring? - Fsotrain 09 15:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Kusma, I've created a WikiProject Munich. I think anything related to Munich should go onto the Munich WikiProject and not the German WikiProject as it would relieve some of the load off of the Germany WikiProject. I've already asked a few people to join. This project should be good once a few people have joined. Since you're very active in the Germany WikiProject, I would think you might help out a little bit with WikiProject Munich. I'm thinking of having WikiProjects for Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Bremen, Nuremberg and Bavaria to help focus on these. It might be benificial for WikiProject Germany to have WikiProjects for Munich and the other cities and Bavaria since users could help out with more specific topics then just Germany as a whole. I hope to here from you soon. Kingjeff 02:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I "borrowed" some of the styles from Portal:Germany into Portal:China, I hope you don't mind :P
Anyway, I've been working on the Chinese portal recently. Can you take a look at it to see what else is needed? Thanks! AQu01rius ( User • Talk) 22:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

A German president may be member of a party. Köhler was member of the CDU, he is member of the CDU, and he will be it when he leaves office. It is a correct and important information about him, even though he is expected not to be parisan. -- Zz 14:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

What! not of high importance [2]! (Joking - It's hardly up there with the Bauhaus or the Reichstag). You might be able to help me though - Bethel Henry Strousberg - the entrepreneur who commissioned the Palais, needs a stub category - presumably there's one for German-bio-stub or something - but I couldn't find it - you might want to rate the article as "short AFD candidate on extremely important topic" - He did bring the railway to berlin, most of east germany and europe.

It happens on FireFox. It did not happen on IE. So I didn't notice it first. It's fixed now. I had put the small boxes in a table. I didn't bother to investigate why that had to be done in this case. I had to do the same at Talk:Islam. -- Ganeshk ( talk) 15:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I think it looks good. Personally I could do with less of the Flag. But that is a more general observation as a number of participants will not be German but have an interrest in Germany. You beat me to implementing the image switch. I haven't checked yet but I wanted to link it to the already existing category for German picture requests. Is there a small switch? Also I was wondering if we could have a regional switch so that individual regional sub-projects can just enter region=bavaria and the corresponding category and text will appear. I am trying to think ahead and reduce the number of talkpage banners that will appear to avoid banner-overdose. Munich has sadly jumped the gun on that.
Agathoclea 23:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Can't figure out how to get the person's name put in right; maybe it doesn't have to be included. Neither Biography nor Military history substitute the name in their new member templates, so maybe if it can't be made to work right we can drop it too. Made a couple of slight additions and changes (basically plagarising Military history's similar template) that might be acceptable. The automatic watchlisting function does work by the way; I tried it already. Anyway, that's all I can think of. And the subtle hint (if that's what it was :) ) that I haven't done much lately was caught too. Because of Thanksgiving, I'll be occupied both Thursday and Friday, but should be back to work on the project more regularly either on the weekend or, if not, early next week. Luckily, the project has an extremely qualified contributor in you, so I don't think my absence has been really missed that much. Thanks again for all of your good work. :) Badbilltucker 00:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Kusma, could you please have a look at Frankfurt (Oder). User:Pmanderson (whose signature reads "Septicemia" or something, so it's not immediately clear who it is) keeps reverting to a version of his own invention (about "Frankfurt-on-Oder") and has added a dispute tag. As someone who has actually lived in FF for many years, I have tried to discuss it, but he blankly falls back on the usual excuses such as "not English usage." What's next, Fürstenwalde-on-Spree?

Oppose, while I do trust the candidate, I disagree with the "we need to have fixed ending time" thing which seems to be what this RfB is about. A fixed rule would be much easier to game than having our bureaucrats decide when to close. Kusma (討論) 14:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Kusma: Why did you delete and protect from future creation the article on NewsRx? It is a United States publishing company, and many, many such companies are listed. Please restore the article for that page, since you are being arbitrary in preventing it from being listed. NewsRx is the world's largest publisher of health and medical information and is more important than most of the United States publishing companies you already have listed...Thank you...Wcsu
I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me at RFA (especially from someone of your 'stature'), and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future.

Wondering if you had any comment regarding this user's current unblock request. Since they only have one edit I can see, I'm a bit inclined to assume good faith, unblock, and keep an eye on it, unless there's something else I should know about (deleted edits, past history, sockpuppetry, whatever that might be). So please do let me know if there is something more I should know about, here. Thanks in advance. Luna Santin 19:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your encouraging message and support. I noticed the Germany article a while ago and saw that even though it contained much (probably too much) good information, it lacked a certain level of coherence and sources and was a bit too long. Hopefully it will be possible to rectify these inadequacies so that soon it will reach FA status. TSO1D 20:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
24.180.10.60 appears to have contributed nothing but unconstructive edits and I've been very easy going with this Wikipedian so far with the warnings and all. Now I'm not saying that the person should be blocked by you or anyone else, but should be kept an eye on by administrators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Power level (Dragon Ball) ( talk • contribs)
I'm not sure if you want to do anything about this, or even whether anything should be done. The current project page reads rather too much like an apologia for Nazi thought for me to be really comfortable with, but that might just be me. With the existing subprojects, and possibly a couple more on the way, do you think maybe the Germany project could create a philosophy unit, or maybe an explicitly Nazi Germany unit, both of which could include this subject, and/or maybe request that this project be merged into the Germany project? I don't think that this group is ever likely to do much anyway, but I would really hate to see a group that could be a Nazi POV fork on wikipedia get the chance to make much headway. Badbilltucker 16:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Kusma - if you get a chance, could you take a look at Children of Heaven and see if there is anything in the German Wikipedia that could be added to our article? If you're busy with other stuff, that's okay too. Cheers, -- HappyCamper 18:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I am currently learning the ropes of how to create an automated recent changes list which will be able to monitor the recent changes in articles selected for monitoring. I am giving it a bit of a dry run with the reamining articles in the Dogs project before I go over to the Germany. It is relatively simple to execute, but involves the creation of a page named Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Articles to be able to work, and the inclusion of the names of the articles to be watched on that page. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs/Articles for a newly created similar list. As the scope of this project is nothing less than incredible, I think I would trust other parties, such as yourself, to make the choices of which articles to include on the recent changes list. Then all we have to do is add a line or two to the project page and any member will be able to look over the recent changes. Like I said, I'm right now giving it a dry run in the Dogs articles, but have every reason to believe that it will work, as it looks like other projects are already doing this. I do want to give it a couple of days before I commit to that, though. Badbilltucker 20:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey Kusma! I have begun translating de:Mark Brandenburg at User:Olessi/Mark Brandenburg. If you have time, would you mind checking or correcting some of the translations? I have been unsure of some of the content, especially the geographical information. Olessi 21:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Kusma. Perhaps I'm too late, but I'd be interested in participating in WikiProject Germany. Trouble is, I don't know where to start.
