WP Munich

Hello,

You are invited to join WikiProject Munich!

There are a lot of things to do in this project. From creating new articles to finetuning articles into featured article status.

How can you help?

• You can join a Task Force.
• You can help comform Munich-related articles to Wikipedia Policy.
• You can get free Munich-related images under GNU Free Documentation License.
• You can create and edit of Munich-related articles.
• You can do translations from German Wikipedia to English Wikipedia on Munich-related articles.
• You can help do assessments of Munich-related articles.
• You can help expand articles currently in the Stub-class and Start-class.
• You can help reference articles.
• Since original research is against Wikipedia policy, you can research topics to expand. This means you don't need to know anything about Munich.
• You can help expand stubs and start-class articles and help finetune other articles into Featured article status.

A WikiProject of this nature is very broad. Munich has a rich history in sports, culture, politics along with many more topics. Feel free to help out in your area of interest.

If you want to check the project out you can click the link above. If you want to join the project, you can sign up here.

If you have any questions feel free to contact myself or any other member of the project.

48 hour block

You have been blocked for 48 hours because of edit warring on Nigel Dodds, an article in the scope of the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/The Troubles. In future, your edits to articles related to The Troubles should not exceed 1RR. PhilKnight (talk) 22:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The administrators of Wikipedia are, quite clearly, pro-Irish Republican, pro-Irish unification. Cities (like Londonderry) are not permitted to use their lawful, official, recognized names because users with a blatant conflict of interest intervene and edit articles to suit their own beliefs. This ridiculous ban is evidence of the total lack of credibility around here.

The problem wasn't that you preferred Londonderry over Derry, the problem was that you kept reverting. On Wikipedia there are several cases where there are 2 (or more) names, where decent cases can be made for either name. An example would be whether Burma should be called Myanmar (or if you prefer whether Myanmar should be called Burma). Holding either view is perfectly ok, but reverting without discussion to your preferred version is going to result in a block. The reason why I volunteer to enforce restrictions in regard to The Troubles (and for that matter Israel/Palestine) is that while I have some (not much) familiarity with the disputes, I'm not especially passionate about either. I wouldn't describe myself as pro-Irish Republican, or pro-Irish unification. In so far that I hold any view (which isn't very far) I'm broadly supportive of the peace process.

Rick Dykstra

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.Mr. No Funny Nickname (talk) 00:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I would recommend using the talk page to offer constructive criticism and to discuss an equitable resolution to a dispute rather that mass deleting a section, or offering a threat and impugning motives, which is especially feigned since you are a declared supporter of the Conservative Party yet attack me by stating a declared party affiliation to the Liberal Party. As to the position of the photo, the photo was placed within the section of the article dealing with it. Furthermore, nothing in that section is false, and all of it has been cited, and all of it is easily verifiable.Mr. No Funny Nickname (talk) 03:02, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Politicians

Please don't add succession boxes (the {{s-par}} template) to people who already have the same position's succession listed in their main infobox. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 03:46, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I've also initiated an RFC (request for comment) at WP:CWNB for additional input on the Rick Dykstra photo. I'd ask both of you guys to let the process work for now and don't get into too much of a row over this in the meantime. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 04:06, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Result of the 3RR complaint

See WP:AN3#User:Manticore126 reported by User:Mr. No Funny Nickname (Result: Both parties warned), which restricts both parties from reverting the disputed material until the RfC has reached a consensus. EdJohnston (talk) 05:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

The 4 task forces are Bayern Munich Task Force, TSV 1860 München Task Force, SpVgg Unterhaching Task Force and Translation Task Force. These task forces are currently seeking members. If you have any ideas for additional task forces, please discuss on the Talk Page.

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
