Probleme mit Kategorie

Hallo Achim 55, könntest Du Dir bitte noch einmal die von Dir angelegte Kategorie Category:Statues in Germany photographed in the 2010s ansehen!? Da ist irgendwie Murks passiert... J.-H. Janßen (talk) 19:49, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Jan, mal abgesehen davon, dass ich die Kategorie nicht angelegt habe, kann ich den Murks jetzt nicht so recht erkennen. Ich erinnere mich, dass es 2 Vorlagen gab, {{Statuephotoyear-Germany}} und {{Germanystatuephotoyear}}, die beide dasselbe wollten. Da hatte ich in der Kat die eine durch die andere ersetzt. Gruß, --Achim (talk) 08:29, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
PS: Ach, jetzt sehe ich, dass die Kategorie sich selbst kategorisiert, war es das, was du gemeint hast? --Achim (talk) 08:29, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Ja, genau das war es. Es hat mich ein wenig verwirrt, obwohl ich natürlich weiß, wie schnell solche Irrtümer beim Anlegen von neuen Kategorien entstehen können. Mein Hinweis war auch nicht persönlich gemeint! --J.-H. Janßen (talk) 09:22, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Hm, Dietmar hat das Template angelegt, da wird er es sicherlich anpassen können. --Achim (talk) 12:02, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Äh, nein. Das Template gehört da gar nicht hin. Es ist nur für einzelne Jahre gedacht, nicht für eine Dekade. --XRay talk 12:37, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Jan & Dietmar, dann ist ja alles klar. ✓ Done. Gruß, --Achim (talk) 16:10, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Next sock of User:Pavan Kumar Saarang N R

Hi, I just blocked the latest sock -- Manjesh665 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) . Active here with the same uploads as prior socks. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 23:51, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

SpacemanSpiff, thanks for notifying. The files shew up here. --Achim (talk) 15:55, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi I think I have two more for you ... Pavanreddy96 and Pavan Kumar Kodedela. Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:50, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Ellin, thank you! The second one is a false positive due to the age of the account (there are several Pavan Kumars). The first one might fit, but as long as there is no self-promotional behavior like before I won't take any action. Cheers, --Achim (talk) 17:48, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Neither have the same interests and they aren't doing the same nonsense at en.wiki so I don't think these are connected. He did say that he's going to wait 6months to take up en:WP:SO, though he created a sock right after that, but been quiet for a few days now. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 03:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Code issues in User:Achim55/common.js

Hi Achim55, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

  1. You edited User:Achim55/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
  2. Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having warnings. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
  3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

Thanks!

Thanks for your work finding the sources for images listed in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Files from Pixabay user Skeeze, especially the Coast Guard photos. I'd been looking all over, but I forgot about the huge cache of files in DVID. Ytoyoda (talk) 14:34, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Ytoyoda, you're welcome. I just found another pixabay account who gathered images from the web. Example: File:City-1031706 1920.jpg → https://pixabay.com/p-1031706/ → https://unsplash.com/@henning . Best, --Achim (talk) 19:09, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Question...

How many different models of camera does a person have to own before you conclude the number is suspicious? I first read this argument for justifying suspicion about five years ago, and the person advocating suspicion there had a low number.

I got my first digital camera in 2008, a Kodak. I think I have owned four Kodak cameras, since then, several Canon, several Fuji, several Panasonic. I have a Staples near me, and, for years, their open box cameras were ridiculously cheap -- like $50 CAD. I am sure if you had a robot check all my uploads they would be from more than a dozen different cameras.

Some people swap cameras; or justify the purchase of a superior camera, by giving their old camera away.

So, what is the number you think justifies suspicion? Geo Swan (talk) 23:59, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Geo Swan, I say it again: It is not our job to do investigations on who in fact did shoot an image on Pixabay and who didn't. Skeeze himself did not upload to Commons as far as I know. At least some of "his" images are from other sources, so regardless of the real ownership OTRS is required. We don't know if he "abuses" Pixabay by uploading images made by others or not, there is no proof. Therefore COM:PRP has to be applied. --Achim (talk) 07:07, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Okay thanks for the reply.
I don't think you addressed my general point. At what number should someone's use of multiple cameras trigger certainty they are a copyright violator?
I've been incorrectly accused of being a copyright violator over my decade here, multiple times. Some of those have been occasions when I was duped by someone else's flickr-washing.
But the rest of those occasions were instances of my uploading photos -- or text -- that were my original works, that I had uploaded elsewhere. Of course I am entitled to upload my own creative works to multiple sites. Most people who incorrectly stated or implied I was a copyright violator later acknowledged being mistaken. Still, it is not pleasant.
So, I return to my original question. "How many different models of camera does a person have to own before you conclude the number is suspicious?" Geo Swan (talk) 20:05, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Geo Swan, I said "in my opinion" and "unlikely", therefore I won't tell you a number, I don't like to look onto each of skeeze's 11000 images. He used at least these eight. Let's have a look on his homepage on pixabay:
They can be found easily by TinEye. And a surprise: https://pixabay.com/en/pretzels-fresh-german-bavarian-2346517/ is not from https://pixabay.com/da/kringle-sesam-fr%C3%B8-mad-br%C3%B8d-german-1209345/, because https://pixabay.com/da/users/Free-Photos-242387/ seems to be a second account of his. It's midnight, have to go to bed now...--Achim (talk) 22:03, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Clarification for the record: Both of them grabbed it from Unsplash. --Achim (talk) 14:34, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
  • OKay, I am going to urge caution, in general, for considering 8 cameras, or a dozen cameras, as a remarkable reason to suspect copyright violations. I know eight cameras, spread over a bunch of years, is not a remarkable number of cameras, for a busy photographers, as I have used more than that.

    Forgive me for slightly adjusting the indentation here. Your user talk page, your rules. You don't have to follow convention here. But I figured your non-standard indentation was merely due to rushing, not a genuine formatting decision. Geo Swan (talk) 23:50, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Pixabay-Probleme

Hallo, Achim, zuerst wollte ich dich fragen, ob Du ein wenig Dokumentation zu {{Pixabay special review}} hinzufügen könntest, habe aber inzwischen gesehen, dass es trivial ist und ich das auch selbst tun könnte, vor allem jedoch habe ich mir überlegt, ob es nicht deutlich besser wäre, eine separate Seite mit Handlungshinweisen anzulegen (Commons:Pixabay review?) und darin oder auch in einer Unterseite bekannte problematische Nutzer aufzulisten. Vielleicht sollte das auch mit mehreren diskutiert werden, aber wo – an der Village Pump? Zum Thema passend siehe übrigens auch Gemeinfreie Bilder mit eindeutig anderer Quelle melden?, leider ohne Antwort von den Seitenbetreibern (es gibt dort eine Reaktion, aber nicht auf mich); interessant auch die Reaktion des in Pixabay sehr aktiven Gerd Altmann (geralt), von dem auch in Commons einiges hochgeladen wurde. Nur sehr entfernt passend: Commons:Categories for discussion/2016/12/Category:Files from HaloJim from Pixabay. Wie lange muss man generell rechnen bis zu einer Entscheidung?

Ach so: Ich hab mir mal erlaubt, Dein Skript ImageSearch einzubinden. — Speravir – 21:28, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Steffen, ja, da war ich selber überrascht, was das für ein "Rattennest" wird, wenn man ein wenig herumstochert. Ich bin jetzt schon am überlegen, ob es sinnvoll ist {{Pixabay special review}} mit einem zweiten Parameter zu versehen und es unabhängig von Pixabay zu machen. Bei Category:Pexels haben wir ja dasselbe Problem, nur nicht so umfangreich. Danke für den Forumslink zu Pixabay, interessant, dass man also doch alles hochladen darf, nicht nur eigene Sachen. Das Problem ist für uns, dass es einfach zu viel Zeit frisst, die originalen Quellen und Autoren ausfindig zu machen. Deshalb bin ich nach wie vor für eine Blacklist ähnlich wie bei Flickr. Gruß, --Achim (talk) 17:54, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
(Ein dritter Parameter, ich habe vorhin schon einen zweiten ergänzt … ;-))
Man könnte bei solchen Bildern, die sicher CC-0 sind oder man nichts genaues findet, die aber auf jeden Fall nicht vom Uploader bei Pixabay sind, in Commons für den Autoren {{unknown}} einsetzen. Das sind aber alles Dinge, die meiner Meinung nach besser mit mehreren Leuten diskutiert werden sollten, die mehr Erfahrung (als ich) haben. Mir geht es echt auch um mehr Hilfe für potentielle Reviewer – also mehr, als bisher in COM:LR und{{PBLR}} zu finden ist. — Speravir – 18:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Leeren meiner Benutzerseite "Tirolerbergwelten" sowie Einblendung von Inaktivitätsmeldung / Leeren der Diskussionsseite

Hallo Achim, ich habe eine Bitte an dich in deiner Funktion als Administrator auf Wikimedia Commons. Ich kann mich durch meine eigene Unachtsamkeit nicht mehr an meinem Benutzerkonto "Tirolerbergwelten" (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tirolerbergwelten) anmelden. Ich hatte diesbezüglich Kontakt mit dem Wikipedia-Administrator "Drahreg01", siehe hier dazu: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer_Diskussion:Drahreg01#Bitte_um_deine_Hilfe_in_deiner_Funktion_als_Administrator.

Könntest du mir ebenfalls wie der Admin Drahreg01, der meine Wikipedia-Benutzerseite https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Tirolerbergwelten geleert und den Hinweis "Dieser Benutzer ist auf eigenen Wunsch hin nicht mehr in der Wikipedia tätig." eingeblendet hat, meine Wikimedia Commons-Benutzerseite https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tirolerbergwelten leeren und diesen Inaktivitäts-Hinweis einblenden sowie die Inhalte der Diskussionsseite https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Tirolerbergwelten leeren?

Wie gesagt, ich kann mich nicht mehr anmelden, wollte aber meine Mitarbeit sowieso einstellen. Wichtig wäre mir aber insbesondere noch die Leerung meiner Benutzerseite "Tirolerbergwelten", da ich vergangene Woche den Betrieb meiner auf dieser Benutzerseite angeführten Websites https://www.nordkette-austria.net/ und https://www.mountain-infinity.com/ eingestellt habe. Mit Dank und Gruß aus Innsbruck, Mike

CommonsDelinker commands

Hi, could you please move the BSicon requests on User:CommonsDelinker/commands/byHand to User:CommonsDelinker/commands? Manual replacement is usually no longer necessary due to JJMC89 bot replacing BSicons within diagram templates automatically. Thanks, Jc86035 (talk) 04:00, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Jc86035, you're welcome! --Achim (talk) 12:39, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, could you do this again? The page is now more than 800KB long (my fault) so it should be cleared soon. Jc86035 (talk) 03:35, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Jc86035, I'll do so as soon as this problem is solved. Best, --Achim (talk) 10:30, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
Jc86035, the delinker is working hard, I think it still needs one hour to be done. Please have a look at the downmost entry at User:CommonsDelinker/commands/byHand. I'm not sure about it as it points the other way round. Please fix it and throw it into User:CommonsDelinker/commands/filemovers. Regards, --Achim (talk) 17:06, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
It looks like the page move failed because the file could not be moved over the redirect, which was edited after it was created. Please SD-G6 the redirect and move the file to that title. Jc86035 (talk) 17:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
Jc86035, ✓ Done, did run smoothly. In addition I did a query against the databases and made up this page in case someone of the BSicon freaks feels bored... --Achim (talk) 21:21, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. How did you generate the list? (I might want to use this to e.g. nominate unused deprecated redirects for deletion.) Jc86035 (talk) 01:18, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Commons Conference project

Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

Bitte um Auskunft / Hilfe

Zunächst einen schönen guten Tag "Achim55",

ich wende mich mit der Bitte um eine Info und eventuell Hilfe an Sie, weil ich einen deutschsprachigen User und Administrator suche, der mir eventuell weiterhelfen kann. Ich bin neu bei WIKI-COMMONS und habe vor kurzer Zeit die ersten Bilder hochgeladen. Mittlerweile ist mir aufgefallen, dass 6 meiner Bildbeiträge kommentarlos gelöscht wurden, und es ist mir (als Neuling) nicht klar, weshalb die Löschung erfolgte. Die Bilder waren - wie alle übrigen Dateien - meines Erachtens unter den gleichen Bedingungen (Eigene Aufnahme!, gleiche Kategorie, gleiche Lizenz, gleiche "Qualitätsstufe" etc.) eingestellt und hochgeladen.
Können Sie, als erfahrener User und Admin., mir in dieser Frage einen Tip oder eine klärende Auskunft geben?

Wäre toll, danke schon jetzt! Horst J. Meuter — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horst J. Meuter (talk • contribs) 16:37, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Horst (hier duzen sich alle), danke für die Uploads! Hier auf Commons ist keines deiner Bilder gelöscht worden, siehe hier, daher verstehe ich dein Problem nicht ganz. Oder hast du Bilder hochgeladen, als du - vielleicht ohne es zu merken - nicht eingeloggt gewesen bist? Die kann ich leider nicht sehen, wenn ich die Dateinamen nicht kenne. Gruß, --Achim (talk) 17:08, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Antwort zu ...

Hallo Achim,

vielen Dank für die sehr schnelle Antwort. Ich denke, dass ich da eine Information auf einer Seite falsch interpretiert habe. Sieht man sich die hochgeladenen Bilder auf der (von Dir verlinkten) Seite an, ist offensichtlich wirklich nichts gelöscht. Also war das wohl ein "Anfängerselbsttor" von mir. Sorry für den Fehler und nochmals sehr vielen Dank für Deine Hilfe. Wenn das o.k. ist, melde ich mich bei eventuell noch weiter auftretenden Fragen wieder zurück.
Schönes Wochenende! --Horst. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horst J. Meuter (talk • contribs) 12:36, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Rename caret

FYI, File:Εδώ είναι βόρεια^^^^^11 - panoramio.jpg is actually meant to be File:Εδώ είναι βόρεια!!!!!11 - panoramio.jpg. It shouldn't be in my list since its a control character. —Dispenser (talk) 15:18, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Dispenser, you are right and I was aware of that. There are people who have the habit of emphasizing sentences by closing them using multiple ! marks!!!!! Really!!!!! I felt free to remove them as well as I fix file names ending with cut-off words (depending on predefined max lenght of file names I guess) by completing these truncated words or even leaving them out. I found also a case of two different apostrophies (straight and curly) in the same file name like "... mate's ... mate’s ...". While already a file renaming is to be done I fix such minor things on the fly if I notice them. Best, --Achim (talk) 17:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
The number at the end of !!!!!11 is a typo. —Dispenser (talk) 19:40, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Aah, thank you for pointing that out, Dispenser! Btw, I didn't find a document about disallowed characters in file names, accidentally I noticed that '<' and '>' don't work. User names must not contain '@' as a config file on mw tells. --Achim (talk) 14:24, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
From my notes (which should be in Commons:File naming):
  • 0x00-0x1F # < > [ ] | { } _ 0x7F are forbidden as MediaWiki page titles.
  • : / \ as forbidden by $wgIllegalFileChars.
  • %[0-9a-fA-F]{2} is also forbidden
My notes are mostly on file system problems, so it has things such as File:Com1.JPG having save troubles in Windows Firefox (but not Chrome) and dotfiles like File:._-_panoramio_(675).jpg as hidden on Linux. —Dispenser (talk) 16:18, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
For File:Resistor 1.0M Ohm 1& -x2F;6 Watt PTH.jpg, there's actually a ⅙ Unicode character. From that page there's also a fractional slash: ⁄ U+2044. Dispenser (talk) 21:38, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

IDO Media and Print Ltd. - edit

Good afternoon,

I am the editor of IDO Media and Print Ltd.'s page. As you are the one that flagged it I am reaching out to you for help.

When I posted IDO Media and Print Ltd.'s original content, the idea was not to advertise on Wikipedia, it was to inform the world that the company exists and of the things it offers. I followed a similar format to Rogers Media.

I am interested in getting this information out to the world but I seem to have gone about it in the wrong fashion. If you could direct me to or give some tips on how to properly set up the page so that it keeps to the educational format, I would appreciate it.

FisherIDO (talk)

FisherIDO, that's no problem but there are different projects: Wikipedias (like the English one) host articles, Rogers Media can be found there. Wikimedia Commons doesn't host articles but media (images, video, audio) that could be used for illustrating articles on Wikipedia projects. So feel free to write an article on w:en:, here on Commons you might upload accomp. images of logos or photographs or the like. User pages on Commons serve a different purpose, for example could a user tell others what languages could be used talking to them, because Commons is a multi-language project. Best, --Achim (talk) 19:39, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
FisherIDO, I think my note on your user page did sound a bit rude, I apologize for that. But during the past months spamming, advertising and promotion has increased dramatically here on Commons, every month about 500 accounts are blocked for abusing Wikimedia Commons this way. There are even spambots and -botnets that keep us busy... --Achim (talk) 20:11, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Achim, Understandable. I am new to the process and was not aware that there was a difference between creating a page and posting in the Commons, I find that Wikipedia is well set up but somewhat confusing to navigate. - FisherIDO(talk)

Thanks

Your anti-spam efforts will go predominantly unnoticed as acts by the community and by many admins, though the cleanliness of the site will be noticed. I would like to say that your efforts are appreciated, and noticed by those of us hanging out in the back. Thanks for the work that you have done for managing spam and spambots this year. If you celebrate Xmas, hope that it is a joyous time for you and your family. If you don't, all the best anyway.  — billinghurst sDrewth 09:08, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

I am the editor of Serge Le Goueff's page. I understand you have requested deletion of this page and I truly don't understand why? I am not a company nor am I trying to sell anything. I have been a professional Saxophonist and Painter for over 40 years. I contribute daily to the production of art works in Australia, South East Asia and Europe.

Some of my recorded works are being transcribed and analysed by music students and as part of research projects which prompted me to create the Serge Le Goueff page.

May I kindly request that you do not delete this page as it is part of the fabric of the Australian Art hub.

Serge, there are two problems: First, this is not Wikipedia but Wikimedia Commons. That means, here are no article pages at all. Commons is a media repository that provides media for use in articles that exist on Wikipedia projects like French or English Wikipedia. So if somebody would create an article about Serge Le Goueff, one of the Wikipedias were the right place to do so. The second problem was the content of the page, it sounds like a self-promoting biography, and such promotional content is not within the project scope here on Commons. Maybe there is a misunderstanding about our user pages: They are not intended for self-presentation of users (if Emmanuel Macron came here and made a self-presentating or -promoting user page it would be deleted as well), but more for technical reasons like a better communication among users (languages the user does understand or his user rights to perform special actions or his time zone or the like). I do not doubt any of your professional skills and respect them, but if I did undelete your user page, for sure another admin would then delete it again for the same reasons. Of course you are allowed to create a new user page User:Serge Le Goueff if you like. Regards, --Achim (talk) 18:34, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Quarry

Hi. For the Quarry query which you wrote to find BSicon redirects, is it possible to filter out images which are only used in the User namespace? A lot of redirects are used in old template galleries from more than five years ago, and since most of them will never be updated (and some of them are fully protected, for some reason) it would be better to just ignore User namespace usage. Thanks, Jc86035 (talk) 11:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Jc86035, no problem, have a look at quarry:query/20170. You can add more including or excluding AND lines. Best, --Achim (talk) 14:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Umgang

Du könntest Recht haben, und ich Unrecht, wenn ich eine Kategorie umbenenne. Aber wie wäre es mit einer Begründung für einen Revert, wenigstens in der Zusammenfassungszeile? --Superbass (talk) 10:46, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, ich sehe das war Teil einer komplexere Verschiebung. Ich habe nur die Revert-Meldung gesehen, bei der kein Grund angegeben war. --Superbass (talk) 10:50, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Superbass, entschuldige, da hatte ich falsch geklickt, normalerweise trage ich dort "preparing cat move" ein. Eine existierende Kategorie neu anzulegen, ist immer die zweitbeste Lösung, weil dann die Versionsgeschichte der alten Kat futsch ist, wenn sie gelöscht wird. Besser die ganze Kat verschieben und ihren Inhalt verschieben, dann bleibt alles erhalten, und man kann weiterhin nachsehen, wer schonmal ediert und vielleicht Ahnung vom Thema hat. Gruß und danke für deine Mitarbeit hier, --Achim (talk) 11:13, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Danke, ich hab dann später auch gesehen was Du da gemacht hast, und im ersten Moment leider nur den Revert. Die Funktion zum Verschieben einer Kategorie hatte ich früher, glaube ich, schon mal benutzt, aber heute fiel mir diese einfache Lösung nicht mehr ein. Ich denke, nächstes Mal erinnere ich mich wieder daran :-) --Superbass (talk) 11:16, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Removing full width ASCII

/* ASCII files with full width characters.
 * Runtime: 5 min 
 */
SELECT CONCAT("* [[:File:", img_name, "]]") AS Filename
FROM (SELECT CAST(img_name AS CHAR CHARACTER SET utf8mb4) AS img_name FROM image) AS subquery
WHERE img_name REGEXP "[！-～]" /* U+FF01 - U+FF5E*/
  AND img_name REGEXP "^[!-~ ！-～]+$" /* All ASCII special case */
  AND img_name NOT REGEXP "[＃＜＞［］｜｛｝＿：／＼]" /* Forbidden characters */;

# Convert Full-Width ASCII (U+FF01-U+FF5E) to regular ASCII
# Probably should use unicodedata, but I'm lazy
u''.join(unichr(ord(c)-0xfee0) if 0xff01 <= ord(c) <= 0xff5e else c for c in img_name)

Any interest in completing Files with U+FFxx in names? I'm told for Chinese, that this is "almost always sloppy typing". I believe the all ASCII special case (query above, 1,645 moves) should cause little or no controversy with the exception of ASCIIbetical sorting (a MediaWiki bug).

Dispenser, thanks for notifying, I'll work on that, as soon as I'll be back home. I'm going to visit my 91 yo dad (4..5 hours on the highway) and will be back on Monday or Tuesday. Best, --Achim (talk) 21:20, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

User:Chris.brand für Videouploads freischalten

Hallo Achim55,

User:Chris.brand ist ein Autor bei b:de:Mathe für Nicht-Freaks. Er wird mir helfen, Videos vom YouTuber Quatematik bei uns einzubinden. Kannst du ihn dafür freischalten? Dank dir dafür.

Viele Grüße, Stephan Kulla (talk) 13:42, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Hallo Stephan, ich war jetzt 5 Tage außer Haus ohne Wiki-Zugriff. Chris ist für 1 Monat freigeschaltet, gib bitte Bescheid, falls es klemmen sollte. Gruß, --Achim (talk) 20:11, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
Super, vielen Dank dir! -- Stephan Kulla (talk) 21:01, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

dupe

Ich hoffe, du nimmst mir das[1] nicht übel. :-) Event. sollte wir die größere Version "redirekten". --Túrelio (talk) 16:50, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Túrelio, achwo, das sind nur so Kleinigkeiten, auf die ich nicht viel Zeit vergeude, die mir nur zufällig über den Weg laufen, wenn ich auf Spammerjagd bin. ;) Gruß, --Achim (talk) 18:59, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Was jetzt? Alles ungültig? Alles nochmal?

Lieber Achim, könntest Du Dir bitte einmal Diesen Beitrag von E. Zelenko ansehen, und mir sagen, was ich jetzt machen soll ? War meine ganze Arbeit (und die von meinem Privat-Helfer) für die Katz? Ich habe absolut keine Lust, die 3 gesprochenen Versionen (usw.) von Schloss Versailles nochmal hoch + runter zu laden. Bin den Tränen nah... Grüße,--Marie Adelaide (talk) 16:14, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Liebe Marie, bleib mal ganz ruhig. Selbst wenn im krassesten Fall hier alles gelöscht würde, wird es nicht wirklich gelöscht, sondern nur "unsichtbar" gemacht, und wir können es jederzeit wieder hervorzaubern. Nach dem Abendbrot kümmer ich mich drum. Bitte nichts noch einmal hochladen, was schon hochgeladen wurde. Und du hast wirklich eine sehr schöne, angenehme Sprechstimme! Gruß, --Achim (talk) 16:48, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Hallo Achim, Danke für die freundlichen Worte, besonders über meine Stimme, die ich selbst jahrzehntelang nicht mochte, und gelegentliche 'Komplimente' als völlig absurd und bizarr an mir abprallen ließ... Kann denn jemand wie Du oder dieser E. Zelenko nicht einfach die kleinen Fehler in der Beschriftung korrigieren? Das ist doch einfach nur ein gesprochener WP-Artikel... Und meine Erlaubnis dazu habt Ihr sowieso (die braucht ihr aber vermutlich gar nicht). Schöne Grüße und ein leckeres Abendbrot (oder 'ne Stulle ?) und einen schönen Feierabend wünscht --Marie Adelaide (talk) 17:02, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Hallo Achim, es tut mir leid, dass ich nochmal störe, aber könntest Du Dir bitte mal den neuesten Beitrag von E. Zelenko ansehen? Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, was ich jetzt machen soll, und was er will. Ich habe eigentlich keine Lust nochmal Alles hoch- und runterzuladen, geht das nicht einfacher? Bitte um Nachricht und Grüße, (PS: fühle mich überfordert) --Marie Adelaide (talk) 15:18, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
Marie, entspann dich, ich hab das gestern abend noch in Ordnung gebracht, konnte aber nicht mehr Bescheid geben, nachdem mein Rechner dreimal hintereinander abgeschmiert ist, ist wohl der Temperatursensor hinüber. Gruß, --Achim (talk) 15:26, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
Lieber Achim, Allerherzlichstes Dankeschön für Deine Hilfe. Das ist wirklich sehr nett von Dir und ich bin jetzt auch ganz erleichtert. Schönes Wochenende,--Marie Adelaide (talk) 15:56, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
