User talk:Denny

Welcdome to Wikipedia! I think the articles you wrote were really good. I made a couple of little tweaks, but your English is fine. I will be happy, when I am around, to keep doing the tweaks to such good work. Danny

  Thanks! *being happy because of the compliments* --denny 19:11 May 13, 2003 (UTC)

Hey, sorry for the "issue" over longest serving Popes. I put a calculation for the current Pope in the talk page... should fend off future confusion. Pakaran 01:46, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Not a problem, no appology needed. -- Pakaran 15:08, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hi Danny, for your info:

Erik Zachte tried it before with much more detailed statistics, but, pitily, they weren't updated sind September 2003.

There were updated! A week ago stats for Jan 20, 2004 were available. Since the most recent server switch old stats reappeared. When all new servers are set up the stats will be refreshed again, weekly or so. Right now I don't want to bother Brion Vibber (the site admin), he has enough to do right now. Cheers, Erik Zachte 17:58, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I will be busy next week. See you later. --Youssef 15:11, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)~

You're welcome, Denny. Thank you for your kind words about my updating the multilingual statistics! I decided to do it this time in order to get some practice with tables, something I find rather difficult. I'm really glad to have made your work a little easier for this week. Thanks again for popping in to see me :-) Davidcannon 13:44, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

WikiProject Philosophy

Hi Denny! I noticed that you have made a lot of terrific contributions to articles about philosophy. I'm trying to organize those of us who are philosophically inclined over on WikiProject Philosophy, in the hopes of sprucing up the philosophy pages around here, and I'd like to invite you to join us. If you're interested, drop on in -- there's no obligation, I'm just trying to form a nexus and central meeting point for philosophically-minded 'pedians. Thanks, and good luck! — Adam Conover † 20:41, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)

Germans

I've for long (a year, actually) been itched by the way Wikipedia-links are done with often sloppy distinctions between nationality, citizenship and ethnicity (with regard to persons) and also between nations and countries. This is particularly obvious in the case of people or entities that are denoted as German. A link to the Federal Republic of Germany is often outright unhistorical and wrong, but this has until now been the most usual.

Therefore I'm considering an article on Germans, which I've started at User:Ruhrjung/Germans. I would wish to avoid lots of edit wars. In particular, I would not wish to see the current disputes over German-Polish matters automatically extend also to this article, why I kindly ask you for comments now, in advance, in order to try to find wordings acceptable to as many as possible of concerned wikipedians.

(I hope it's unnecessary to point out that people of non-German descent who are living in Germany probably can see many things clearer than Germans themselves.=

I look forward to your comments at User talk:Ruhrjung/Germans.

Rankings Table (Multilingual Statistics)

Denny, your RANKINGS table shows a HUGE improvement! Not only is it packed with much more useful information than before, it also looks much better. You've done a magnificent job. David Cannon 11:10, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

thanks. --denny vrandečić 14:26, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

Denny, in next ed. of your ranking en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multilingual_ranking_November_2004 be carefull, you and David omit frisian wiki, and record wrong no. of artls for welsch wiki - David now correct his table. I find this case when transform jour table - that is at all the good work - to our local polish edition of month ranking. Cheers Ency 09:27, 2004 Oct 8 (UTC)

Nationality of Adrian IV

So was Pope Adrian IV really an Englishman? Did Englishmen exist at this moment in history. In the year 1100 in England, weren't the locals either Saxons or Normans?

-- I have no idea, frankly. But for discussing this, either choose Talk:Pope Adrian IV or Be bold and just change the article appropriately. Greetings! --denny vrandečić 21:23, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

This is too far outside my area of expertise to edit.

-- As it is of mine :) --denny vrandečić 19:52, Jun 20, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Country Infoboxes

Hi, there's a new Solution E that's been proposed for the country infoboxes; I've changed my vote from the Solution D that I proposed, earlier. The new option, proposed by User:Zocky, transcludes a subpage instead of using the template mechanism for this.

See: Nepal's infobox is implemented at Nepal/infobox using Template:Infobox_Country; Tuvalu's is implemented at Tuvalu/infobox as a wiki table.

Discussion is at: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Countries

Thanks. — Davenbelle 01:53, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)

Multilingual statistics

Hello,
are you still around? The Rankings table in the Wikipedia:Multilingual statistics are quite out of date... I'm thinking about taking over the job if you don't have time/will. Have you developed some custom programs/excel sheets to automate the calculatons? It would be nice if I could avoid replicating your work :-) Alfio 22:12, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) (please use this page for replying, since I rarely visit my English page).

Hi! I had started developing some programs too, but I was getting different numbers then yours (especially for the % growth), so I stopped :-) If it is OK for you I can use & develop your Python script... the way it is written is no problem. You may send it to my email ( puglisi at arcetri dot astro dot it ), or paste them wherever you want. With a properly written program the time required to generate new tables should be quite low :-) Thanks, Alfio 11:43, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Notification

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the article http://www.active-project.eu/, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

Your untagged Meta images

Hello. As I look for untagged Meta images, I find the following and the link from your Meta user page to yours here. While I have good reason to presume these under GFDL, would you please consider tagging them {{GFDL-self}} or anything a like so we need not presume their licensing? Thanks.

--Jusjih (talk) 22:10, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since I get no answer from you, I have presumed these GFDL, but they cannot be moved to Wikimedia Commons unless you do license them under GFDL or something similar and acceptable. Thanks.--Jusjih (talk) 16:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Comparison of software engineering and related fields

The article Comparison of software engineering and related fields has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced essay that has been tagged for over two years and has fewer than 30 watchers, requires complete re-write to be encyclopedic, is not linked to from any article

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:21, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Christchurch mosque shootings; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.Resnjari (talk) 16:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Christchurch mosque shootings shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Please revert yourself. There is no consensus for removal of sourced content.Resnjari (talk) 16:59, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I provided explanations on the respective discussion page of the article. --denny vrandečić (talk) 17:07, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You claimed a consensus. There is none. You claimed that the thread went stale and no one replied for days. That was wrong, i placed comments some hours ago. You need to revert as you have passed 3rr.Resnjari (talk) 17:16, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Sorry, can you point me to where I claim consensus or that the thread went stale? I agree that neither of these claims would be true. Where do I say that? --denny vrandečić (talk) 17:25, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well your edit summaries for one. i.e [2] "There is consensus for not linking to the manifesto". Sure you delete the link, i don't care about that, but you also include in your deletion all the other non-related text. Now that is disingenuous. If your removing the link, you remove the link, you don't go and remove sourced material outside of what your edit summary states. Then you reverted me [3] and stated that "Removed 5k characters that are just detailed annotations on what is written on the weapons. As per discussion page, no arguments were given on how this contributes to understanding of the subject of the article, and it gives an undue weight to those writings." I had added comments to the thread that were contrary to that claim some hours before. Instead of engaging on the talkpage you persisted and persisted. And then in another edit summary you wrote [4] "following a week of discussion, I removed the overly detailed footnote. No arguments were given for keeping it". The thread was ongoing as i placed comments hours earlier that does not support your contention. My thing to you is revert yourself, as you have surpassed 3rr.Resnjari (talk) 17:37, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I wish I could edit the summary on that first edit. I was just trying to add more text to the summary, but instead submitted it. Meh. My bad, sorry for that, that edit summary was bad. But the consensus I claim there is solely for not including the link to the manifesto.

Also, I have seen and read your comments - as I already explicitly said - but I still am too dense to see any arguments for keeping the detailed list in the footnotes. We can continue the discussion on the article talk page, where you can explicitly list the arguments for keeping these detailed annotations, even though they violate the undue weight policy. --denny vrandečić (talk) 17:48, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, you need to revert. You surpassed 3rr and there is no consensus. The discussion is ongoing and no having information on the weapons is not WP:UNDUE. How much of that regarding names should be there is another matter. Media reported on it extensively.Resnjari (talk) 17:55, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

for The Signpost

Denny,

Can you get it down to 2,000 words? Deadline is in one week (April 24 in the morning!). Please email me if you have any questions. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 16:56, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Smallbones: Yes, I can, and will do so! Thank you for the opportunity. --denny vrandečić (talk) 17:49, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Smallbones: My draft is now available. Thank you! --denny vrandečić (talk) 03:20, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I should get a chance to take a good look at it this weekend. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 03:47, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's accepted. We'll copyedit it a bit more. You might put in some section titles (or we can do that). Please check it out at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/In focus. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 12:57, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Smallbones: Thanks! I tried to add a few section titles, but feel free to change them or shuffle them around. Thank you! --denny vrandečić (talk) 17:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You might take a final look, especially at the mini-bio. Another Signposter will make a final pass at copyediting. Thanks. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 02:03, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, looks very good! --denny vrandečić (talk) 02:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A good candidate for Abstract Wikipedia - a worldwide weather database

I came across your idea on Abstract Wikipedia, as a way of making sure content can be viewed across all platforms. I think a great candidate for that would be weather. Some basic characteristics would be the date of the event, the location, the type of weather event, the number of fatalities or injuries, and the damage total (ideally can be converted into currency of your choice, but that could require a bit more coding). I mentioned such a proposal here. Thanks for doing what you do! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:49, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: I think that's a great idea, and indeed, we probably should start with having these in Wikidata (which also has the advantage that it is already there). This content will then be useful for Abstract Wikipedia, once we get there, and then we can extend the information further. But I fully agree: having such data in a common place would be helpful for all. Here's an example of what's already there, in case you haven't seen it: Timeline of 2015 storms --denny vrandečić (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That 2015 list is great, but I want to see one with every weather event around the world. Tropical cyclones are fairly easy to track and read/write about - they're long-lived (compared to tornadoes, blizzards, earthquakes, and volcanoes). Thanks for the follow-up though. I think it's important to think big. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:16, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: When you say 'every weather event', I am wondering, how many are there per year? --denny vrandečić (talk) 17:34, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
