[edit] Commons

Ook hallo! Ik heb me op Commons ook maar geregistreerd aangezien het een interessant concept is, sterker nog, heb het altijd dubieus gevonden dat er geen centrale image repository is. Nu hopen dat het project een beetje rap van de grond komt, hoe eerder hoe beter. -- Solitude 13:36, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lenzburg

I don't know what editarticle.py is, but please don't use it again until the part is fixed where it breaks links across newlines. That's pretty bad. Knudde met een rietje, zeg maar. :-) JRM 13:54, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC)

Sorry. The error is not in editarticle.py, but caused by my editor doing newlines, but I should have thought of it and prevented it by hand. I will next time. Gerritholl aka Topjaklont | Talk 14:06, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I hacked editarticle.py to replace all newlines not followed by a whitespace-only line with a single space character. Thank you for your feedback. Gerritholl aka Topjaklont | Talk 15:12, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Map of Lapland

I do not have anything that could be used right away. If you want to do such a map yourself, maybe Image:Nordic-countries.png would be usefull? I have done location maps for Finnish towns and municipalities, for example Image:Finnish map with Rovaniem highlighted.png. I guess something similar for Sweden and Norway would be best. -- Jniemenmaa 18:27, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User name change

saw your comment on the change user name page, just wanted to hint that User:Gerrit seems to be free, its red. GOGETIT! :) Dan Koehl 22:09, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

It's not: "The user name you entered is already in use. Please choose a different name." Gerritholl aka Topjaklont | Talk 22:12, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Mainpage Screenshot

Thanks for telling me about that! By the way, are you left handed? =) Oven Fresh 22:08, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

No, I'm not left-handed. But I do have my watch on my right hand and I do like rtl-smiley's, especially to confuse irritating software converting smileys into pictures (-:

[edit] A message to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Rivers participants

Would you, please, consider participation in the discussion about the naming of the articles on rivers? Certain users suggested that the word "River" should be omitted from the title. Currently the discussion is held at User talk:Markussep#River naming, but it will hopefully be moved to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rivers soon. Thank you for your attention.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 21:10, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 00

Because his number was 00 and I thought it would be cute. Feel free to change it if you don't like it. Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 12:05, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Summary element and Mgmbot

I'd already put a speedy tag on Summary element. Your Mgmbot added a second one. Maybe it still needs a bit of work? — P Ingerson (talk) 16:32, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My bot is user-controlled. Before a user decides an article should get a speedy tag, it shows the contents of the article to the user. The user then decides, and the bot then adds it if the user decides to do so. It is possible that between those two instants, someone else has added a speedy tag to the article. A solution might be to ensure the article is unchanged between the two instants. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 28 June 2005 09:37 (UTC)

[edit] "Stupid categories"

Sorry you see it that way, but I those categories serve a great purpose. There is no racist intent in them; if anything, it is the exact opposite. --FuriousFreddy 17:34, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Meetups in NYC

Just saw your edit. I've seen info about past meetups -- is there a calendar somewhere that we can watch for future meetups?

Thanks.

I don't know. I just felt like expanding the acronym. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 12:47, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for helping me

Just a quick note to thank you for correcting my error in placing deletion notes on Hopkin Green Frog on that page's "talk" page. --tgeller 21:34, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Elbert Frank Cox, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] ga-0

Now, I'll be damned if I understand why you show up in the ga-0 category, and I, who uses the exact same template (and has the category showing up on my user page), do not. Any ideas?--Ag Foghlaim 21:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Strange... no, I have no idea, sorry! Gerrit ^CUTEDH 22:42, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:LPMCOTW/current

Might I ask why you wish to use a separate page only for transcluding a single line in a template? Radiant_>|< 15:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

It was messing up the community portal, because the entire article got included. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 15:42, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Yes, but why are you including a single line, rather than including the LPMCOTW template, or simply copy/pasting the name of the current collaboration? Because that's what every other COTW does. Radiant_>|< 00:52, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dayton Peace Agreement

Hello, Gerritholl. Thought you may want to know that the Dayton Peace Agreement is already on Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/December 14. -- PFHLai 23:56, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Featured article for December 25th

I noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-28 08:15

[edit] VWN en WCN

Beste allemaal Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 13:50, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Cat Lovers' Committee

Gerritholl, I can see from your userboxes that you love cats.

Would you be interested in joining the Wikipedia Cat Lovers' Committee?

If you want to join, you can add yourself to the members list and contact the committee founder, me, GeorgeMoney on my talk page.

Thank You. --GeorgeMoney^{Talk Contribs} 22:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extremes on Earth

I restored Eureka as the coldest average place based on verifiable data. If you look at Environment Canada's weather data for Eureka and Resolute you can see that the daily average for the year is -19.7 for Eureka and -16.4 for Resolute. Also, Alert is -18. Oymyakon is difficult to research as this only gives the daily weather and most sites are only interested in the fact that it got down to -65, -68 or -71 depending on where you look. The problem is that it may be colder on average but it's not possible to say for sure. I did use the link to Oymyakon to check their summer temperatures and they seem to be a bit warmer than Eureka. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

OK. I was basing myself on Resolute, Nunavut, which quotes an average temperature of -23. Gerrit ^CUTEDH 08:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I edited that and never noticed it. Thanks for spotting it. Environment Canada are so helpful in providing free weather services. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Aspergian Wikipedians

Category:Aspergian Wikipedians which you have included on your user page has been proposed for deletion you can comment at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Category:Wikipedians by mental condition. The is also a proposal to create an association to meet the needs of users with mental health conditions. --Salix alba (talk) 18:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox Public Transit

According to Wikipedia:The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: {{User:Olve/Userboxes/Public transport}} (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
