Disambiguation link notification for May 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Back to Front Tour, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Rhodes (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.

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.

December 2016

Please stop using Wikipedia for promoting the Holy Cross - Centre for Christian Meditation and Spirituality, as you did at Catholic spirituality, Christian mysticism and Outline of spirituality. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 04:57, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Excuse me, I'm simply a "fan" of it. If you consider some links as advertisement please feel free to modify or to delete it.--Urmelbeauftragter 08:08, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

I fully understand your enthusiasm; the center looks very interesting to me. It's just that it's WP:UNDUE to give it so much coverage. For a crude comparison: American Evangelism is more relevant for the contemporary world than these eclectic, liberal centers of modern spirituality... Tribal consciousness may not be covered that deep, actually. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 08:43, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Haus der Begegnung

Das darf doch wohl nicht wahr sein, dass Haus der Begegnung ein roter link ist, sogar auch auf deutsch. Dehm-Verlag ist jetzt ein redirect. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:03, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Student Initiative Rahel

You have been adding descriptions of Student Initiative Rahel in a very promotional way in articles and giving it undue weight. Please read the link to WP:UNDUE that Joshua Jonathan mentioned above. Also, if you have a connection to this program, you should read Wikipedia's conflict of interest policies (WP:COI) before editing any further. Sincerely, Tdslk (talk) 23:29, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

• Urmelbeauftragter, I also agree that these sections are overdone. I do not necessarily agree they are spam, and I think that judgment by Tdslk is too harsh, but something has to give. The amount of detail about the organization you seem to be advocating for in this edit, for instance, is too much. (Note also that words like "woman" or "scholarship" should not be wikilinked.) So this is not to say that all of that needs to go, but certainly some of it. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 00:36, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Drmies! Why you have placed the Template:Primary sources in the article. I'm not a member of the project I didn't use use sources from the project but also other sources like from the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper. Ok, it seems to me that there were too much details in the related articles. I will change them.--Urmelbeauftragter 17:00, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Adding this same thing all over

Not sure adding the same generic non informative paragraph on many main pages will help our readers. I understand your a fan on this one organization...but just adding the same paragraph all over to get traffic to the one article is a bit much. There is not relevernt data or any info that makes this organization stand-out for the many many others like it. Is see others have also reverted the additions...perhaps best to come up with some data or something relevant to these main pages ?-- Moxy (talk) 17:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

WP:PROMOTION

You have to understand that trying to spam the same thing into as many articles as possible tends to stretch my assumption of good faith. It seems as if you are engaging in WP:PROMOTION of these subjects. Regardless of whether or not you have an actual conflict of interest, this kind of promotional activity is heavily frowned upon here at Wikipedia. This is a non-commercial enterprise with a neutrality policy which prevents us from providing a platform for advertising and promotion. Elizium23 (talk) 01:50, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Personal interests are promotion? And what has personal interests to do with commercial enterprises? Why I have a Conflict of Interest if I'm interested in something? For example I have nothing to do with the OVC project of the Eparchie of Adigrat in Ethiopia. I have heard of it from a member of Student Initiative Rahel who told from it in a church service. Why this is advertising and promotion?--Urmelbeauftragter 10:40, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Incomplete DYK nomination

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Student Initiative Rahel at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 03:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

It seems to me it's better now.--Urmelbeauftragter 17:31, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

You need to put it on the nominations' page, if you haven't done so, under the date when the article was created, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:23, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

I thought I've already done it?--Urmelbeauftragter 18:51, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

How would I know. The bot tells you you didn't. Did you add it now? - Different topic: by reviewed, it's not any article reviewed. It's review one DYK nomination checking it against the criteria. For the first five nominations, no review is needed. I guess this is only your second, right? My advice: strike all these "reviews" which don't count anyway, and all entries made to the nomination after the initial one need a signature. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Ok I checked, it's nominated, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

OK, I've removes all "reviewed"-entries.--Urmelbeauftragter 21:37, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! - see also --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:41, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

When we will hear the English version of Laudato si’ translated by Gerda Arendt?--Urmelbeauftragter 21:45, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

I won't translate but write a short one for the English readers, my Christmas gift, and the magic little thing in the title is not curled here, will be Laudato si' (oratorio), - compare Laudato si' ;) - From tomorrow to Christmas, I will have a DYK every day, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

No no no, I mean: When will we HEAR the oratorio performed in English "translated by Gerda Arendt"? And furthermore: I will never reach you in number of DYK nominations ... ;-) --Urmelbeauftragter 22:00, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Ahh! No, we perform Die Entführung aus dem Serail in German, and will leave the language mix of Latin / German / Italian / Hewbrew untouched ;) - DYK noms are not about competition, but make things known ;) - Wrote the 151st DYK review of 2016 today, which will not be the last. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Oh no! You won't write an English text version of the oratorio?--Urmelbeauftragter 17:17, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

To translate texts with music to a different language is an unrewarding job that leaves you never satisfied. The same vowels with the same stresses should appear on same notes, with the adequate meaning of course, - hardly ever matches. Compromises would be needed, and some of them bad ones, - no thank you ;) - Btw, did you notice that the Malwina who appeared on SG with the oratorio drew 70k+ hits? My Teaser ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:05, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Malwina? What's this? 70k+ hits? I had only 4k+ hits with the oratorio on :de: ... *sniff* --Urmelbeauftragter 22:19, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Life is not fair, and my memory was wrong, only 21.777, de:Malvina Schnorr von Carolsfeld, but she had a tough life, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:27, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

She was unknown to me until now. ;-) But you brought me to test a nomination the first time and it worked. In :en: I had no luck until now with Holy Cross - Centre for Christian Meditation and Spirituality, Student Initiative Rahel or OVC project. Let's wait and see ... ::::::::::::::::

Patience is sometimes needed, - the oldest nomination was approved today, after 3 months, - btw: if an image is there, it needs a caption, and the always same (pictured) after what is pictured. I failed to see any relation of coffee ceremony to project in the article, so good luck ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:44, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Oh jes, the Rahel project used Ethiopian coffee ceremonies at charity events but not the OVC project. It seems to me it's not the right picture for this nomination ... Hmmmmm ... But I didn't want to use the same picture for the OVC project like for the Rahel project.--Urmelbeauftragter 22:53, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

I exchanged the pictures with each other. This makes more sense ... --Urmelbeauftragter 22:59, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Seven of eight DYK have to go without image. To nominate pictures that will not be taken is a waste of time, also for the reviewer who has to check licensing. This pic was not taken. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution. Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! --JustBerry (talk) 02:57, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

What can I do for it?--Urmelbeauftragter 10:43, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

OK, I posted my statement concerning the Talk page of article Advent there--Urmelbeauftragter 13:24, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

@JustBerry: And what happens now with this dispute? Can I add a picture or a video of an Advent labyrinth to the article Advent or not?--Urmelbeauftragter 12:48, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

DYK

Hello! Your submission of Holy Cross - Centre for Christian Meditation and Spirituality at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 10:09, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Except of one point I could fix the issues.--Urmelbeauftragter 21:35, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Have you made any progress on that one point? You said you were looking for further sourcing. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

I've made some research on the point that the Centre was the first institution of its kind in Germany. I've found no source that this was right but I've found also no source that it was wrong. I've made a new article with my results which is only available in German until now on Meditationskirche. It was as far as I could found the first christian centre of meditation in Germany. There is only one further in a Protestant church in Hamburg but this was founded in 2009. But the centre in Frankfurt was founded in 2007.--Urmelbeauftragter 16:24, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

DYK for OVC project

On 19 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article OVC project, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the OVC project supports the education of disadvantaged young people in Adigrat, Ethiopia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/OVC project. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, OVC project), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Services

Good to see your name again on my watchlist! - I doubt that it's worth mentioning in a single church's article that service were interrupted because of the pandemic. Imagine we'd do that to all church articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:27, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

It's because the complete program of the meditation centre was cancelled not only the services. --Urmelbeauftragter (talk) 08:36, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, but is that encyclopedic? - Every opera house noting when closed, when resumed a bit? I'd say no. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Even if this changes the program listed in the article? --Urmelbeauftragter (talk) 10:40, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean. In the churches and opera houses I write about, I don't list shut-down and limited reopening, - it's nothing particular to a place.

Thanks for your contributions to Melanie Gabriel.

@CptViraj Sorry, I don't understand why the article Melanie Gabriel was moved because it hast nearly the Same content as in the German language Wikipedia. Urmelbeauftragter (talk) 16:46, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry but it wasn't me who performed the move, it was done by Scope creep. The move reason mentions "no sources, more sources needed". As the page has been deleted, I nor they as non-admins can see the content of the page, you still may want to ask them if they remember or you can simply request it's undeletion and improve it in the draftspace and then go through the AFC process.

I cannot found more sources by searching in search machines. In German language wikipedia exists sice 2007 without problems and was reviewed by a member of the music editorial team who answered: "... könnte mir aber nicht vorstellen, dass es für die enWiki nicht ausreichend sein sollte. Wenn ich sehe, mit welchen Quellen dort im Chartbereich gerarbeitet wird, grausam. Und der Artikel hier ist sauber belegt, also wüsste ich nicht, warum man den dann in den Wartungsbereich verschieben sollte." ("But I can't imagine that it wouldn't be sufficient for the enWiki. When I see what sources are used there in the chart area, it's cruel. And the article here is clearly documented, so I don't see why it should be moved to the maintenance area."), see: de:Benutzer_Diskussion:ChrisHardy/Archiv/2024#Melanie_Gabriel.
