Imperial Eagle beaker

Thank you for the expansion and translation from the article on German Wikipedia. Would you provide inline-reference for clarification. Thanks.--Caspian blue 15:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Franzbrötchen

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Blair - Speak to me 10:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Medieval Greek

Hi, I just saw you intended to translate the Medieval Greek article. That's great, I look forward very much to seeing the German content built in. The German article by de:User:Pitichinaccio is quite an impressive piece of work. Please let me know if you need any help, for instance with the English technical terminology or things like that.

I was intrigued to see the link to [1] on your German user page. So, you're connected to uni-fr? Is this a class project or something like that? :-) Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:54, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

hi, indeed this is (another) Uni- Freiburg class project - 3 classes in fact as we only have 2 weeks for this project. We should have done the bulk of it (if not all), by next week. Thank you for your offer of assistance - we'll get back to you. --AnTransit (talk) 08:43, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

		The Rosetta Barnstar
		For you and your team, for your great job in translating Medieval Greek. Thank you guys! Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:50, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

BTW, I may have noticed I made a few tweaks, and might make a few more yet. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:50, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

What a great honour - thank you! And thanks also for your tweaks - it does help. Think we're finished now, though we didn't know how to copy the pictures from the German site. Perhaps you can help here? --AnTransit (talk) 09:22, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Add your caption here

About the images: the ones that were used on de:Mittelgriechische Sprache are all already stored on commons:, so we can actually use them here right away: just copy over the image code, replacing "Bild:" with "File:" and translating the caption as needed. What can get really tricky is the tables – those in the original article have some unnecessary markup ballast, and getting them right for en-wiki requires quite a bit of tweaking. Here's a slightly more efficient way of doing them:

	Front		Back
	Unrounded	Rounded	Rounded
Close	/i/ ι, ει, η	/y/ υ, οι, υι	/u/ ου
Open-mid	/ɛ/ ε, αι		/ɔ/ ο, ω
Open	/a/ α

Cheers, -- Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Installation (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kaditz Lime Tree

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Kaditz Lime Tree, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. §FreeRangeFrog 18:28, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Article "userfied" to User:AnTransit/Kaditz Lime Tree

Because we do not want readers of the encyclopedia to come on articles which do not contain useful information, or are too short to give a context so that the reader will know what they are about, articles like that may be speedy-deleted. Instead, I have "userfied" your article - moved it into a sub-page in your user space at User:AnTransit/Kaditz Lime Tree where you can work on it until it is ready to be posted to the main encyclopedia space. There is good advice at WP:Your first article.

The talk page says that this is part of an educational assignment. Please ask your instructor to look at WP:School and university projects, if s/he has not already done so. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

How to make a userspace draft

Another time, you can avoid the risk of premature deletion by starting work in a userspace draft page, and not moving it to the main encyclopedia space until there is enough there at least to make it clear what the article is about, and preferably some references so that WP:Notability is apparent. To do that, go to Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title; a userspace draft page will be created for you. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:31, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Editing your userpage

Hi, this is just to let you know that users that have just been created currently cannot edit your user page. It is therefore not possible to create links with names to respective user pages for class purposes. Perhaps there is a way to alter your user page settings temporarily until everyone has signed up? All best, Grace InWitra (talk) 14:25, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

You can allow anonymous editing through the {{unlocked userpage}} template. Best, Sam Walton (talk) 14:54, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Can we keep in touch? I'm a Educational Technology professor here at University of Padua​. From 2009, in my courses I'm teaching students to edit Wikipedia​ articles and to develop Information Literacy competencies. ​Now, I want to propose to my University a project to involve more professors from more Departments​ and try to start an academic research based on the experience. From this January we will have an Italian "Wikimedian In Residence", and he will try to train a small group of professor how to use Wikipedia in their courses. I​ would be very pleased to meet you to discuss the topic and to meet ​other professors interested ​in ​and who could collaborate in comparative research at international level​ and possibly to start an Erasmus+ Project. Very many thanks for your help. ​Corrado Petrucco​ corrado.petrucco@unipd.it Conradpd (talk) 10:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for the Barnstar accolade. Sorry about the late reply, but, yes, I would be pleased to keep in touch and am interested in an Erasmus project. In our classes, we don't write articles, we translate - usually German into English. Not sure if I should answer you here or on your talk page - will do both. --AnTransit (talk) 10:11, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
