Project Vienna

Hey there, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work on the Wikiproject:Vienna page! Keep it up! :)

• Thanks, man. I'm actually living in Vienna for the summer, so it's a natural thing for me help with! And, if we need pictures, I'll go get some. I've got a couple from the Volksgarten that I should put online... - grubber 09:15, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)

Wow, nice reorganization of the ViennaProject page... I'm still learning how to transfer the tables and seals properly, but I think we're definitely turning the corner on this project. I also made a little translation of the Viennese cafe page which I think is nice. Tfine80 4 July 2005 05:39 (UTC)

• Thanks. The table was getting a bit large and hard to parse through, so I thought I'd reorganize it a bit. It should be a little easier to work with. - grubber 2005 July 4 09:54 (UTC)

List of Scotch Distilleries

I've started on translation, but there are some constructions a little too complex for me. Look what else I've found: Highland Single Malts. Hmm, perhaps merge? -Tydaj 22:37, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

• Awesome! Thanks for starting that up. I've translated the parts you had trouble with and did a few myself. Let's keep going! - grubber 09:05, 2005 July 15 (UTC)

Just two more bits in the Newly-built or newly-planned... section and it should be finished -Tydaj 21:36, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

There we go! Finished the last couple tidbits you left in there. Thanks for doing this! What next? - grubber 10:20, 2005 July 17 (UTC)

I've added a query re: the article title in Talk:List of Scotch Distilleries. Might the article be more clearly named? Valiantis 19:49, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Interwiki on de

haie Grubber,

i removed the interwiki you put here as there is no such article on en ...Sicherlich ^talk 13:42, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

• Yeah, I put the en link on the de page and visa-versa. They have been fixed. (Looks like our reversions were done simultaneously, which is why you didnt see the fix!) - grubber 13:47, 2005 July 15 (UTC)

Come help!

Jungle Notation/Article

In reply to your comment, I thank you for the title fix and state that I am not likely to get into defining a Jungle notation. ^_^ Truth be told, I've played Jungle all of twice on Zillions of Games. I just happened to notice that one of the links in the list of games went somewhere and was a bit bothered when it came up to right one. So, I immediately did the wrong thing and copied someone else's definition in. *wince* With attribution, admittedly, but still not kosher. Upon being rightly berated, my only other contribution was rewriting the article so that it was not entirely the same text. *shifty grin* And at that, I largely did that by borrowing phrases and concepts from another article on the subject. Eh, anyhow, peripheral involvement is all. But thank you for the recognition. -Fuzzy 23:34, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

RfAr for Gabriel

The case has the needed four votes to open - it looks as though no one has had a chance to do so - I'll open it today -- sannse (talk) 09:45, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

User categorization

Greetings, Grubber! Your user page hasn't been vandalized :-) --it was updated to use the new User Categorization scheme. I have categorized your User Page as a Wikipedian in Wyoming (Category:Wikipedians in Wyoming) since your name was listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Wyoming page. The Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Wyoming page is scheduled for deletion. Are you the only Wyominite? :-) Thanks! Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 23:03, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

• RobyWayne, thanks man. I'm not actually even in Wyoming anymore! I live in Texas, but my heart still resides there. I had to create the category so that at least WY was represented. Surely, there will be someone else to join me :) - grubber 15:01, 2005 September 8 (UTC)

No problem!! Glad to help. Just thought the comments on the original list were humorous. Heart never seems to travel too far from home. You should add Category:Wikipedians in Texas to your user page, too ;-). Might as well represent! Have a good one. Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 17:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

dab pages

Thanks for doing a dull but necessary job. However please keep in ming that you must not remove wikilinks from entries where the main term is redlinked: the reader must have an access to something informative. mikka (t) 20:56, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Oops, my mistake. Thank you for correcting it. - grubber 21:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Johann Strauss oder Johann Strauß?

Grüß Gott Herr Gruber,

wir haben eine kleine Diskussion über wie der Maestro Johann Strauß II wirklich mit seinem Nachnamen geschrieben werden sollte? Vielleicht möchten Sie gerne Ihre Meinung kundtun? mit freundlichen Grüßen.... Gryffindor 19:40, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Gerne. Ich stehe aber dagegen, weil auf englisch benutzen wir das ß gar nicht (zB Gauss und Gauß). Aber, das Unterschied soll doch in der Einleitung des Artikels erklärt werden. - grubber 22:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Vienna

dear friend of Wikipedia:WikiProject Vienna. I have created a template that you can from now on "schmücken" yourself with if you want. It can be found here Template:User Vienna-member. mit freundlichen Grüßen.. Gryffindor 15:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Image sources

Can you source:

• Image:Lena5.jpg
• Image:Lena30.jpg
• Image:Lena.jpg

Thanks. gren グレン 00:45, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Lena5 and Lena30 were derived from Lena (by me). The Lena image came from the internet; there are some issues with copyright with the image, but as explained in the Lenna article, the image is essentially without copyright. - grubber 15:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
