Gernot Erler

Hi Greywin, As per the article above, Bundestag homepage could considered primary source as it is the webpage about the biographies of its elected members. Independent reliable source would be third party source - see here WP:RS - A newspaper source in any language indicates Erler of such position would do. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 21:34, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for the your message. This is a misunderstanding of the structure of the Bundestag. It is not an "organisation" which advertises for its "employees". Bundestag MPs are independent representatives of their voters. And the Bundestag structure itself is therefore independent of the MPs. In addition, it is an official source and the best available. Newspaper sources can only be worse. Above that, there is nothing unsourced in the article right now. Please rethink the use of the template.--Greywin (talk) 21:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited SPD party member vote on the 2018 coalition agreement of Germany, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page FDP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Proposed deletion of 2018 Hamburg stabbing attack

Hello, Greywin. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, 2018 Hamburg stabbing attack, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Natureium (talk) 18:52, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just one personal question if I'm allowed: Do you think this is an extraordinary crime? Or is this normal and we should get used to this? I just wonder what might have been the motivation for such a nomination.--Greywin (talk) 19:37, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything extraordinary about this crime. Sadly, things like this happen all the time. Natureium (talk) 02:14, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No they don't. Even the police sees it, why don't you? And please don't pretend anything by using words like "sadly". Thank you and good bye.--Greywin (talk) 07:19, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can't stop hounding me, can you? You removed WP:RS (2018 Hamburg stabbing attack), added strange tags to 2018 Hamburg stabbing attack, Frank Blackfire. Didn't you read the sources? Or do you want to cause "irritation, annoyance or distress", editing every article that I worked on? What's your plan? Drive me out of the Wiki?--Greywin (talk) 20:34, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Hubert Aiwanger

Hi, I'm Insertcleverphrasehere. Greywin, thanks for creating Hubert Aiwanger!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. It needs more references demonstrating notability. The references are currently mostly about his change of position, or reelection, not specifically about him.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

— Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 21:50, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He clearly meets WP:NPOL, not only member of state legislature but even faction leader.--Greywin (talk) 21:52, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

added additional source to clarify, removed tagging.--Greywin (talk) 21:59, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Above that, chairman of a political party should be an accepted office too, WP:NPOL is not limited to public offices.--Greywin (talk) 22:11, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of tea for you!

Aggressive, POV-pushing editors often appear to aim to drive new editors off the project by flinging accusations, taking their articles to AfD, and hassling them to death on page after page. The best way to respond is to quietly make well-sourced edits and policy-based arguments. I hope a nice cup of tea helps. E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:35, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, enjoyed it. :)--Greywin (talk) 20:25, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Simonm223. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed.

Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Simonm223 (talk) 17:01, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No one was attacked or offended as a person, I'm criticising double standards and political tendencies within the project, please note the difference.

No, you are insulting me quite obviously and directly. Nobody is fooled and nobody is amused. Stop. Now. I have asked you to avoid personal attacks and assume good faith repeatedly and you have ignored my requests every time. Simonm223 (talk) 17:01, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Simonm223 (talk) 17:04, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstood my comment. I am criticising double standards within the project in the handling of the guideline in question. I don't know why you feel offended. Calm down.--Greywin (talk) 17:06, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Remove the insult. Now. Simonm223 (talk) 17:10, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Opposition to free speech for the sake of multiculturalism and cultural relativism". How would you call it? Do we have to change the page title of regressive left?--Greywin (talk) 18:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greywin, the article you're linking to explicitly describes "regressive left" as an insult, and you are using it to describe another editor. Retract the comment now. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I never used it to describe another editor. Stop twisting my words.--Greywin (talk) 20:04, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to block me for calling the regressive left the regressive left, for defending freedom of speech, WP:RS and WP:NPOV, then do it quickly. It will be great honor to me and make me only stronger.--Greywin (talk) 20:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles.
