Article

[edit]

Thank you for giving me that link. I was interviewed by a reporter last week and was wondering when the article would come out. - SimonP 16:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You are reading the chart incorrectly. The charts list the number of surviving veterans currently living in each country not how many are left surviving from that country (hence why Germany is still listed as having one veteran, even though the last one died on January 1). There are three Italian veterans remaining: Francesco Domenico Chiarello, Delfino Borroni and Lazare Ponticelli (who served for both France and Italy during World War I).

Re: de:User:Joy

[edit]

OK, so how do I fix the problem then? Ask this user to give up their username? What if they say no? What happens to *my* edits over there? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 13:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Asking the user is a good option, maybe he will give up the name. The problem is, that the foundation (better: the technical stuff) don't really speed up the SUL process. The current process lasts for over three years now and I thought the next step would be the usurpation of accounts with some more edits (maybe automatically), but at the moment nothing happens.
This is a very unsatisfying situation, but as a bureaucrat I'm only doing bureaucratical stuff - and don't make the rules. A reason why this is so important are your imported edits - these are assigned to de:User:Joy, which isn't you. It's technically not possible to assign these edits to your account (at least for me - with database access this might be possible). This wouldn't be a problem in future, if everyone would have a SUL account - but as I said, at the moment I can't help you. Believe me - I'm as unsatisfied with this situation as you. --APPER (talk) 13:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I asked them, we'll see.
It looks like each individual Wikipedia makes up its own rules - other languages allow usurpation for a minor, non-zero number of edits, but German doesn't. What would be a good place to bring this issue up for general discussion - de:Wikipedia Diskussion:Benutzernamen ändern/Benutzernamens-Übernahme or somewhere else? --Joy-temporary (talk) 10:03, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"What happens to *my* edits over there?" They were imported after the local de:User:Joy account was created, so if de:User:Joy becomes de:User:Joy-renamed, the edits will be reattributed to de:User:Joy-renamed as explained in bug 26942. Similarly, your imported edits to Hindi Wikipedia were reattributed to hi:User:Joy-temp after the renaming. --188.120.236.147 (talk) 22:29, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, crap. But thanks for telling me. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:41, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiHistory on German Wikipedia

[edit]

Hi Apper, if I've understood correctly, you're the author of the above. There's a discussion here about how we could use it on the English Wikipedia, because it's very easy to read. Can you help us work out how to do that? Sarah (talk) 20:32, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
