Hi,
On this subject, you ask how to define the "sphere of influence". However, in this article, there is a link to the definition of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spheres_of_influence
"In the field of international relations, a sphere of influence (SOI) is an area or region over which a state or organization has significant cultural, economic, military or political influence. While there may be a formal alliance or other treaty obligations between the influenced and influencer, such formal arrangements are not necessary and the influence can often be more of an example of soft power. Similarly, a formal alliance does not necessarily mean that one country lies within another's sphere of influence. In more extreme cases, a country within the "sphere of influence" of another may become a subsidiary of that state and serve in effect as a satellite state or de facto colony. The system of spheres of influence by which powerful nations intervene in the affairs of others continues to the present day. It is often analyzed in terms of superpowers, great powers, and/or middle powers."

Hello Marek69, I received a message from Wikipedia just now informing me about a supposed unconstructive edit that had been made on a "List of films" article, and this message stated the edit was made from my IP address... however, I never once visited that article nor made any edits to it. What surprised me was what the edit read "KILL EVERYONE YOU SEE IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES". I'm here to say that this is some sort of error, I never paid a visit to this "List of films" article and left such an eerie message.
Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added byUntroublesomethoughts (talk •contribs) 21:01, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi this is my first time using Wikipedia and I would like to update the Good Neighbor Pharmacy page. You recently said I violated the rules and I would like to know what I can do to correctly update it with the below information? About Good Neighbor Pharmacy
Good Neighbor Pharmacy is a network of more than 3,700 independent pharmacies across the United States. Our mission is to offer competitive pricing on a wide range of over-the-counter and prescription medications, while providing the personalized service that people have come to expect from a neighborhood pharmacy.

Hi Marek,
The rationale for the changes I made to the Skopje page are clearly laid out on the Discussion page for Skopje. If you object to that, I would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts there. I would also appreciate if you took the time to check out yourself who reverted who first and what are the changes are at stake. Simply reverting it without an explanation (what you did, what the user before you did) is very arrogant, unwelcoming and insulting.
Thank you.
Wisco2000 (talk) 22:39, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Just a clarification: when I made my first changes, I stated clearly why those changes were made (Quote: The statement that is removed was not supported by a single reference that was listed there.) Another user reversed my changes without explaining why. I have also left detailed comments (this time being the second time) on the talk page. You chose to revert my changes.
I would strongly advise you to undo your changes. They are very very very offensive and they amount to academic misconduct and misrepresentation and blatant plagiarism. I am assuming in good faith that you chose not to take a look at what you did. Wisco2000 (talk) 22:59, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello... Thanks for the cookies. I wasn't expecting that. Since you offered, I am really going to take you up on few questions.
I am brand new here and pretty much each thing I am wanting to do is hard for me to research. I am trying to learn how to "talk" correctly so I can at least get the right communications sent in the talk pages I need to comment in. Once I can at least "talk" I can ask questions in the appropriate talk pages and learn some of the nuances.
Right from the start I was finding myself seeing some very troubled conventions on the capitalization of mammal species' names. That led me to these discussions below.
Question 0: Have I communicated to you in the correct place? :)
Question 1: About talk. How do I reply directly to some talk. In particular. I found the link in this talk contribution did not lead to a location with the mentioned content. Can I reply to that talk and ask for an update on the location of the link being referenced? Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mammals#Where_to_put_a_decision...
Question 2: Perhaps as a novice it is presumptuous to want to add my name to this list. But out of curiosity how would I add my "vote" of support to this list below? Is it too audacious as a novice to support this? My experience is like many of the others on the "support" list; I have found the dagger is standard usage and long time convention of both biologists and paleontologists.

Hello. As a Polish-speaking WikiGnome, I'd like to solicit your help in testing a new tool. For a few years now, the Red Link Recovery Project has been using theRed Link Recovery Live tool to track down and fix unnecessarily red links in articles. Recently, the tool has been expanded to work on non-English Wikipedias. A small set of suggested fixes for red-links on the Polish-language Wikipedia have been prepared and I'm hoping to interest some Polish-language speakers (such as yourself) to work through them.

I change from [[3]] to[[4]] but problem with numbered schools remains an open. In according to [[5]] the189th_Secondary_School_(Ukraine) does not mean 189th Secondary School of Ukraine. In this case (Ukraine)/(Kiev)/(Kiev, Ukraine) is only location of 189th Secondary School. From other hand oficial title name The 189th Secondary School ... of the Desna Raion of Kiev is not correct, becouse there is no numeration in Desna Raion. Schools numerated in all city of Kiev, include of Desna Raion. This oficial title name not used in real life, people used simlyfied name - 189th school or 189th Secondary School.

Hello Marek69,
I am brand new to contributing to Wikipedia. I just requested a minor edit on the James Dean protected page and it already appears that it's been addressed positively - yay. But I'm trying sooo hard to NOT mess anything up or hurt anyone's feelings. I have been studying Wiki's help pages and looking around behind the scenes, but I feel that to be good enough I should treat this as a whole year of college in learning. I found you and see that you are reasonable, very experienced, and fair. I'm not ready to dive in totally (may drown lol), jeez I haven't even started my talk page or profile yet. One thing I've learned from looking about is to stay out of "wars" and to avoid editing pages that can be volitile. If I have an occasional question - do you have time to answ. it? And I'll even leave out my whining! Thanks, in advance, for reading.Jill333 (talk) 07:56, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

You may not have noticed, but you're currently part of a little experiment Steven Walling and I are running on en.wiki: we're A/B testing Huggle templates to see if changing the content of their message has any effect on the user that receives them. We've been running the test since Sunday and will turn it off in two days and analyze all the data we've collected (over 1500 users Huggled as of yesterday!), but I wanted to get some unscientific feedback from some of the folks I noticed using our templates – including you :)
So, first thing's first: did you happen to notice that you were sending out different templates? And, more importantly, did you notice any difference on your talk page? More or less people than usual coming to talk to you? More or less vandalism or constructive questions?
Thanks a lot! And if you're interested in helping us tweak more templates, please let me know! We only tested the level 1 vandalism warning this week, but we're thinking of revamping the other level 1 warnings (test, NPOV, blanking, etc.) too. --Maryana (WMF) (talk) 18:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I see that you are not a newbie by a long shot... please explain why you re-added the {{cn}}

{{cn}}
tags. Thank you.I mostly use Wikipedia for info about films and historical bios. Many articles about the entertainment industry (including novels and top hit songs) are amazingly complete. Much of the medical / pharmaceutical info is very helpful-- I know your mission is NOT to suggest areas of needed research--but I wish you would. My area of expertise WAS *digital signal processing* but it is so time consuming to proof-read a mathematical text. I am age 67 living in Cambodia. Anyhow I will continue to point out what I think are areas of omission and warn you of occasional spam and crudities I come across in the body of an article.

Hi Marek, thanks for the welcome and links to five pillars which I have read. I am new to wikipedia editing and so it seems I may have got off on the wrong foot. I created the dom&nic page because I found the Dom and Nic page and felt it was missing a lot a factual encyclopedic information that I could quickly add with references. Being one half of dom&nic I new the information first hand but understand that it needs to be referenced to third party sources. I totally understand and agree with the rules of COI and have since been advised by another helpful editor that it is not a good idea to edit information about ones self. My intention was only to make an article that is factually interesting, neutral in tone and as comprehensive as possible. I first looked at a number of wiki articles about other contemporary music video and commercials directors and took the lead from these. I was surprised that another editor felt it inappropriate to include a videography compiling the names and dates of work directed by dom&nic and so removed them. I first compiled the list with links to the work on youtube so a reader could see the work in question, this was removed with the comment that this is not a place for people to put links to their Youtube videos. Whilst not fully understanding the problem with this I re-listed the work without the links to the videos but that too was removed. Any advice or help you could give me would be much appreciated. I think it would be good to merge the dom and nic and dom&nic articles as you have proposed. I created the dom&nic partly because I felt nervous about editing an article that someone else had started (silly, I now realise because that is how wikipedia works!!) and partly because we are aways known as dom&nic rather than Dom and Nic.

Really nice to chat to you yesterday. I was just speaking to Victuallers about signing up to the adopt a user program, he said you may be interested in adopting me? I need a bit of guidance on using extensions to add header tabs and nice things like that, I think probably a bit of everything really.

Hi Marek
Thanks for adopting me, I went to the bank today to change the name on my account, so I think it's official. The main thing I'm stuck on is extensions, I'm having problems understanding them and worried I might change something in a weird way that will be difficult to fix. The one I want to install I think is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Header_Tabs#Download
I don't understand how to upload it to an extensions directory, do I need to make one? Basically I just want to have snazzy tabs at the top of the page like a lot of the other GLAM projects.
Many thanks

Dear venerable master
Why doesn't WP:GLAM/MonmouthpediA show up when you type Monmouthpedia into the wikipedia search bar?
Mrjohncummings (talk) 19:39, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Hey
It works if you start with WP:GLAM but I know some people who only read Wikipedia have not been able to find it because they have just been typing Monmouthpedia into the search bar, the way they are accustomed to searching for things. I guess this is just a function of the search system that it can't find it if you chop the WP:GLAM off the start. Do you think there is a way around this? I guess somebody could make an article about the project, that seems a bit of a round the houses way of doing it though.

I have been doing some work on the Belarusian Alexander Bogdanov, and I have a book which says he was born in Sokolko in Belorus. Having searched on Wikipedia I came across the village Sokółka very close to the border with Belorus, and not so far from Grodno, which is close to where Sokolko is meant to be. So my question is, has the border been moved so that Sokolko has become Sokółka? I appreciate this is quite an obscure question, but I thought that if you do not know that you might have a contact on Polish wikipedia who could help.? Leutha (talk) 19:10, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello Marek69. You undid my change to Talk:Warsaw. I said in the summary I was deleting content out of topic, ie not related to the edition of the article. You said in your summary that talk pages should be archived, not deleted. I consultedWikipedia:NOTFORUM#FORUM. My question is: why should we archive something having nothing to do with the matter in hand? Should we archive spam? The sections I deleted in Talk:Warsaw have nothing to do with the editing of the article - please, check this yourself. If they were out of date discussions on what to do with the article, I agree they should be archived. Please, reply in my own talk page Garsd (talk) 18:04, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Executive Director's Barnstar | |
Marek69, I am delighted to award you theExecutive Director's Barnstar, which I give out every now and then to celebrate editors who are making particularly significant contributions to the Wikimedia projects. I was thinking about you the other day because you're organzing the meetup for me in London, and I was astounded to find out that you're not just a guy who's being helpful with me on my trip, you are actually one of the most prolific editors on the English Wikipedia. Since you registered in 2008, you've worked on 6,156 articles, including creating 86 new articles. You've made more than 126K edits, with a total add/remove count of more than 4.7 million bytes. (I know this because the Community Department at the Wikimedia Foundation has been playing around with data, aiming to identify the most active editors on the English Wikipedia, and you are one of them.)
Thank you for everything you've done, and continue to do, for the Wikimedia projects. You are making the world a better place for hundreds of millions of Wikipedia readers :-) If you, or anyone reading this, wants to nominate an editor for the ED Barnstar, please feel free to do it on my talk page.Sue Gardner (talk) 01:15, 24 October 2011 (UTC) |
So you left me a message (automated but still) on my talk page like two years ago saying I could contact you if I had any question. Since then I haven't really done much on Wikipedia but I popped back a few days ago as I again had looked through the Stockholm article an found a few things I wanted to improve and correct. I also checked the To-Do list on the discussion page but it's really outdated. Is there a good way to get that list updated? Is it to ask for the article to be reviewed?Salle81 06:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

Hello Marek69,
Thank you for your welcome. I must confess that I really hesitate if stopping contributing on en:wiki and perhaps on it:wiki (I have about 200 posts there) for the same reason. Wikipedia has become land of conquest for ultra-nationalist groups that pretend to write from scrap the history of their countries. Croatia is an example. Read pages like "Croatia" and you will understand what I mean (I left some comments on the talk page, should be the last posts on the page). The entire page is an hymn to their country and they do not hesitate to include suspicious sources or false information. Is this acceptable? On top of that the page is blocked for modification by the administrators (most of them Croats) and any modification that is not of their taste is qualified of inappropriate. At some point a non-Croat administrator will have to take care of it! --Silvio1973 (talk) 16:20, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

I am curious as to the reason for the creation of this new stand-alone page for Violet Beauregardes. I can't see that there has been any discussion which has arrived at a consensus for this content fork. It seems that a previous stand-alone page has already been merged into List of characters in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The title of this new page has also misspelled the character's first name. Unless there's something I'm being dense about (always possible!) it seems to me that it would make sense to delete this page as a duplication of material which alread exists in the other article.--CharlieDelta (talk) 15:08, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey Marek
How's things? So my little project in Monmouth has got big all of a sudden (me and Victuallers are on Radio 4 tomorrow!). The structure of the site is not great and I'd like to do some major renovation work. I have a new structure planned out that I think will work well but I want to take bits from existing pages and combine them with bits from other pages, I really want to maintain as much of the history of the pages as possible. I know I can move pages and combine them and split them but I'd like your wise words on the best way to do this and just to make sure I'm not going to breaking anything technical Victuallers has done.
The existing structure is here and the rough new layout which all just scaffolding so far ishere
Any wise words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated
All the best

Hello,
I feel that you have done a great job over the past few years on Wikipedia; therefore, I would like to nominate you for RfA. I see you are an Administrator hopeful, and therefore I ask, to avoid embarrassment over you declining an RfA nomination, if you would like to be nominated.

Hi Marek,
I think something may have gone wibble with the above page, as you created it with a welcome message as if it were a user talk page, which it is not. I'm subsequently requesting a speedy as it is a talk page of a non-existing article, so I thought I should let you know. Calabe1992 05:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
dear Marek,
thank you for your kind words, and biscuits.
wish everything best to you!

Hi John,
Congratulations on your great work on Monmouthpedia. I just came across a BBC online article about it, and think it's fantastic, and also important to have some content rich and correct information about a place online. I'd like to start a similar project with the town of Feilding in New Zealand.
I'm new to Wikipedia, but am confident that I'll pick it up pretty quickly. I got in touch with someone from Wikipedia and they gave some great suggestions to get started, including contacting you and creating a post online to generate some interest. So, I created [here on Wikipedia.]
I guess my two biggest questions at this stage are how to get Wikipedia endorsement (I suspect it is partly through generating excellent online content) and setting up a page like you've done for Monmouthpedia.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

I didn't know who else to talk to other than you [you gave me cookies (:], representatives from CCP Games hf have stated that EVE Online is trademarked as EVE Online and not Eve Online. This topic has been up for discussion for some time and has never gotten far, now that I have sources saying that EVE Online is trademarked as such I would like to change the name of the page to reflect that.

Hi, and thanks for the work on the Pope John Paul II article. I noticed that you added the {{close paraphrasing}} to the top last month. Could you provide some clarity for us on the talk page about which passages you found that might be improved? Thanks!
P.S. your talk page font is being affected by some unclosed <div> tags in the section entitled 'This Month in GLAM: December 2011'. You can fix this by removing the section, or you can place a couple </div> tags after it. Elizium23 (talk) 22:40, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Marek69, I wanted to discuss with you to possibly changing the article name of Madonie National Park. In the process of sorting and categorizing the protected areas of Italy, I have found that this park is not a National Park, but a Regional Park of Italy. See: [10]. I'd like your input in what the proper article should be. Thanks, --Funandtrvl (talk) 20:52, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Here's my first little contribution to John Paul II - [11]. I've also borrowed two books on John Paul II from the library, specifically to address the development of Wojtyla's philosophical and theological work before becoming Pope. If you think more might be needed on his contribution to Vatican II, it'd be handy to know sometime before about 11pm tomorrow so I can make plans in London. As I said, I have access to some pretty amazing printed sources, so if you can work out what you need, just shout and I'll see what I can do.
That reminds me, perhaps we need an IRL London FA meetup. I know WereSpiels does FA stuff, and both Ironholds and Fae have contributed to FAs. But it'd be interesting to collectively pick a topic of shared interest and work on it collaboratively. I'm sure with a bit of nudging, WMUK might let us use a room for this kind of thing. —Tom Morris (talk) 17:20, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
I've done a bit of work on it, but I'm running headfirst into the problem that I'm one of these pesky English types who demands philosophical clarity rather than phenomenological mish-mash. That said, I've started a draft at User:Tom Morris/Person and Act on one of Wojtyła's pre-papal publications based on some of the sources I've dug up in the library. It's difficult to edit the article in its current form because of the article organisation. With philosophers, the article neatly splits off into biography and thought, but with John Paul II, it's hard to mix in the philosophy/theology. The focus of the article is rightly on his life after becoming Pope, and so everything pre-papal is preparatory for his life as Pope. Mixing in theological bits and bobs is hard, but I do think the article would be a lot weaker without some discussion of his thought. Any ideas on how to sort this out? —Tom Morris (talk) 14:36, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
