Your user page

Hi, your help with the project elements would be much appreciated. The activity and discussions of the project can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements. "Joining" is informal on WP, meaning you don't have to sign up anywhere. Just read and write at talk pages and articles. Beware that elements pages are closely guarded at any time, and any "suspicious" edit might be reverted. Talking helps in such cases. Materialscientist (talk) 00:46, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copernicium

Hi do you have a prove that the name was oficially acapted? --Stone (talk) 20:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WebElements uses Cp already, and on the Talk page this was requested. I also stated that it is only adopted by the scientific community, not by IUPAC --Eu-151 (talk) 20:11, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We (WP Chemistry) avoided the community in cases of aluminum and columbium and stick to the IUPAC to avoide the problems coming with it.--Stone (talk) 20:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your move of Ununbium to Copernicium was apparently against the consensus reached on the talk page and against the opinion of the members of the WP projects Chemistry and Elements. May I ask you not to peform such moves in the future and not to attempt "fixing" names in the elementbox and body text of that article. Thank you. (a note, webelements is merely a privately operated web site, not a scientific institution. Whereas they do bring lots of information on elements and their compounds, they do make mistakes, and are not to be trusted by default.) Materialscientist (talk) 22:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FIFA World Cup templates

Could you explain why you're changing these templates? Please cut and paste them to your own userspace if you need to tweak the information for some reason. Your edits are introducing mistakes to articles. --Onorem ♠Dil 12:49, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I admit that. But how can I do that (posting groups with their full tables and fixtures to the Forum on www.alternatehistory.com), without changing the templates? Can you maybe duplicate them or something and copy the duplicate onto my user page, or something? Or make a new template or so?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Eu-151 (talk • contribs)

You can copy the text from the edit page and paste it somewhere like User:Eu-151/Sandbox. Then you can make whatever changes you want in your sandbox and they won't appear in the actual articles. --Onorem ♠Dil 13:17, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you do that for all the template and fixture sections. I need to post a "Group" as in your articles (without scorers) with one preview image. --Eu-151 (talk) 13:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Something like User:Eu-151/Group A for A-H? Is that what you're looking for? If so, all on one page or 8 separate pages? --Onorem ♠Dil 13:37, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that this is advisable. From what I'm reading, Eu-151 is planning on using Wikipedia to post spurious information to another location. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:39, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is okay with regard to the template, but it would need to be expanded (i.e. showing Won, Draws, Lost,...). And it is not "spurious information", or, rather, www.alternatehistory.com wants speculation and crystal-balling. And, in addition to the Template, I would need to be able to edit the fixtures table, so duplicate the whole groups. --Eu-151 (talk) 13:50, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No need for separate pages, I would need that whole group section (and also the knockout tree, but that can be made by editing it, previewing it and making a screenshot, or?). --Eu-151 (talk) 13:51, 23 September 2011 (UTC) The link to any subpage(s) should be on my user, or user-talk, page --Eu-151 (talk) 14:27, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I only edited that on my user subpage. I didn't reckon with the actual article being changed.

No, you're actually editing the templates. Just because they're linked to your sub-page doesn't mean you're editing them there. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:59, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But how can i do that on that subpage: I need a made-up group and it's fixtures. And that works best with Wikipedia. --Eu-151 (talk) 19:13, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would suffice if i had to insert only the country suffixes, the results and the numbers into a bare group template with all zeros or something. --Eu-151 (talk) 19:15, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since I don't know what your final goal is, I would suggest just copying the contents to your work page and editing there and then when it's working the way you want, copy it from your page to the real page. But your changes have been to modify the countries involved in the tournaments, which doesn't make any sense to me. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:59, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Onorem, I would be fine with a mock group table with the first two painted green and the last staying white, and then hagving that to edit, and the fixtures. --Eu-151 (talk) 11:41, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is no longer relevant. I found an excellent solution with that template on my user page. Please DON'T revert that. It is explicitly named "2014 FIFA World Cup" and not used in any article. speedy it upon notice on this talk page, if you want, but not yet.

Oktoberfest attack

Hi there. I've placed a CONSTRUCTION banner at the top of the Oktoberfest Attack piece you started. { {construction} } (no spaces) will generate that banner at the top of a new page and it helps buy one some time to work on a piece without the new start being tagged for deletion. Make sure that it contains more information than is already showing in the bio of the bomber, otherwise it is apt to be converted into a redirect link to that biography. If you have any technical questions about footnoting, etc., feel free to drop me a line. Best, —Tim Davenport /// MutantPop@aol.com /// Carrite (talk) 20:54, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:ObersterGenosse/Sandbox

Please do not create hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at User:ObersterGenosse/Sandbox. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
