Page moves

Turning Carey McWilliams into a disambiguation page made sense given that another person by that name had turned up. When you move a page like that, however, it's useful if you check "What links here" to see if you've broken any links. The instructions for "Move page" state:

Links to the old page title will not be changed; be sure to check for double-redirects (using "What links here") after the move. You are responsible for making sure that links continue to point where they are supposed to go.

In this case there was only link, from The Nation, and I'll fix that. I'm just mentioning this for you to bear in mind the next time you move a page. JamesMLane 05:21, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Fishguard

Thanks for clearing out the Augean Stable that was the Fishguard article. It has been irritating me for ages, but not quite enough to prompt me to tidy it up. Great work!! . . . .LinguisticDemographer 10:03, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lauricocha

You must have mistaken me with someone else. I just moved Lago Lauricocha to Lake Lauricocha. That's all. I did not added any text. - Darwinek 19:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jesuitenmissionen

Hallo Meister! Mir ist gerade aufgefallen, dass Du Concepción (Santa Cruz) ergänzt hast. Falls Du noch mehr Interesse an den Missionskirchen hast, könnte Dich dieser Artikel interessieren an dem ich zur Zeit arbeite. Langfristig sollten auch zu den anderen Missionsorten Artikel entstehen. Vielleicht liesse sich unsere Arbeit dahhingehend koordinieren. Was meinst Du? Eine Karte die die 10 Jesuitenmissionen in der Region zeigt ist so gut wie fertig. Ich werde sie wohl demnächst hochladen. Grüsse bamse (talk) 22:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi bamse, tja, ich habe mal die Zeit gefunden, meinen eigenen alten Text von der deutschen Concepción-Seite ins Englische zu übertragen. Koordinieren ist immer gut, wenn du mich da für irgendwas brauchst, sag Bescheid. Ich selbst habe in den vergangenen zwei Jahren alle Provinzen und Provinzhauptstädte Boliviens mit Text versehen, und habe jetzt angefangen, die Detailinformationen von dort nach und nach auch auf die englischen Wiki-Seiten zu übertragen. Mal sehen, ob ich 2009 damit fertig werde. Gruß, Meister (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hatte diesen talk fast vergessen. Der Artikel zu den Jesuitenmissionen steht kurz vor dem Abschluss und ich brauch erstmal eine wiki-Pause... Langfristig habe ich vor noch etwas zu den einzelnen Kirchen in den jeweiligen Ortsartikeln zu schreiben und da wãre es gut, wenn zumindest schon einmal ein Artikel zum Ort (so wie bei Concepción) besteht. Ich freu mich dann schonmal auf San José de Chiquitos in 2009 :). Falls Du zu schnell mit den Provinzhauptstãdten fertig sein solltest oder etwas Abwechslung brauchst, wäre ich dankbar ũber Artikel zu den restlichen Orten: San Rafael de Velasco, San Javier, San Miguel de Velasco, Santa Ana de Velasco. Sind alles Hauptstädte von Municipios glaube ich. Wie gesagt, eilt aber wirklich nicht.bamse (talk) 03:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mir ist gerade noch etwas eingefallen, da Dir offenbar die Provinzen am Herzen liegen. Chiquitos Province braucht dringend Hilfe. Da von Santa Cruz Department auf diesen Artikel verwiesen wird, sollte er die moderne Provinz Chiquitos beschreiben. So wie er jetzt geschrieben ist, beschreibt er jedoch die historische Region Chiquitos (oft auch Chiquitania genannt) welche Teile der Provinzen Ángel Sandoval, Germán Busch, José Miguel de Velasco, Ñuflo de Chávez und Chiquitos umfasst und so gar nicht mit der neuen Provinz übereinstimmt. Auf die moderne Provinz wird garnicht eingegangen. Ich wäre deshalb dafür diesen Artikel zu verschieben nach Chiquitania oder Chiquitos (region) oder sowas. Der Weltkulturerbemüll müsste dann auch raus, da ja nicht die Region an sich sondern nur einzelne Orte dazugehören. In jedem Fall müsste etwas zur modernen Provinz geschrieben (oder aus der deutschen wikipedia übernommen) werden. Was meinst Du dazu? bamse (talk) 11:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi bamse. Gut, dann werde ich mich in den nächsten Wochen mal über die von dir vorgeschlagenen Seiten hermachen :)

Es ist aber nicht so, dass mir (nur) speziell die Provinzen am Herzen liegen. Ich habe in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia einfach angefangen, mich von oben nach unten zu arbeiten: zuerst alle Provinzen, dann alle Provinzhauptstädte, dann alle Municipios und ihre zentralen Orte, und punkthaft auch schon einzelne Kantone.

Und die englischsprachige Wikipedia bearbeite ich in gleicher Reihenfolge: Ich habe angefangen, Provinzen ausführlicher zu beschreiben, und das wird auch noch mindestens bis ins Jahr 2009 hinein dauern. Parallel dazu entstehen auch schon mal Seiten über Provinzhauptstädte. Und irgendwann kommen dann auch vielleicht noch die Municipios dran.

Aber: wann immer sich Gelegenheiten entwickeln, schreibe ich auch schon mal Artikel über Boliviens Gebirgszüge, Flüsse, einzelne Personen etc.

-- Meister (talk) 18:53, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Das ging ja fix. Mir ist gerade aufgefallen, dass Du den Artikel nach Chiquitanía verschoben hast. Bitte vergiss nicht, wenn Du den Redirect auf Chiquitos Province entfernst, dass einige Artikel tatsächlich auf die Chiquitanía verlinken sollten (z.B. Domenico Zipoli). Danke schonmal für die ganzen Artikel zu den Municipios :). Wieviele gibt es eigentlich davon in Bolivien? Falls Du mal wieder ein paar Personenartikel machen willst, fänd ich Martin Schmid oder Hans Roth (siehe: Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Biographies#Architects ) nett, aber das ist wahrscheinlich zu viel verlangt. bamse (talk) 19:32, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Das Verschieben habe ich gerade noch geschafft, hatte eigentlich auch vor, die verlinkenden Artikel entsprechend zu verändern, aber dazu war heute abend keine Zeit mehr. Einen neuen Artikel "Chiquitos Province" werde ich in jedem Fall in den nächsten Tagen schreiben, und dann die diversen Links kontrollieren und nach Bedarf verändern.

Und in den letzten beiden Wochen des alten Jahres werde ich mal zusehen, dass ich die von dir weiter oben genannten Städtchen mit Inhalt fülle. -- Meister (talk) 22:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Disambiguation link notification for December 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Isallavi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Poopó. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:38, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi, thank you for the hint, I had just pasted the wikilink from a different page, not realizing it was disambiguous. It's corrected now. Meister (talk) 14:11, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:42, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
