May 2011

Hi I was wondering why the German Empire was edited back from Dave's Empire seeing as though many Germans living in Berlin during 1917 to 1918 called the empire Dave in honor of WIlhelm II's early childhood name. Nice nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.249.5 (talk) 17:42, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, making the dubious assumption that you're not trolling, that's definitely the kind of thing that needs a source. IdealistCynic (talk) 17:44, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well alright I understand the concerns of the modern world closing in on me so I have made the executive decision to locate and cite my source. Thank have a pleasant evening, one more question, has anyone ever killed themselves over citing sources? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.249.5 (talk) 17:47, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, certainly. The great citation mass suicide of aught-three, I remember it well. IdealistCynic (talk) 17:49, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you my friend, I see it as though a lesson has been learned that it is important to cite my source no matter how agravating it is. Now I will drive a bus into a lake maybe it is filled with "animals", "dark animals", maybe not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.249.5 (talk) 17:53, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:05, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
