I am surprised to see that 1 WTC's floor count is actually 94, even though many news reports about the building state that it is 104 stories high. When I checked the refernce to www.onewtc.com/leasing, the floorplan diagram starts the floor count at floor 20, showing that 94 floors are occupied. So in total, the building has 94 leasable floors, 10 mecahnical floors and 5 basement floors. To avoid edit warring, i added the information about the news info that the building has a total of 104 floors inluding mechanical.
Thanks

Hello raphael.concorde, I'm usually editing on the Dutch Wikipedia so I'm not very familiar with how things go overhere but apparently thing are going terrible overhere. After I changed the number several people have reverted my edit, although it did contain right information. I have said more than three times in the edit summary and I have given two sources but still all the people revert my edit without really looking to what they're actually reverting. They apparently all ignore my edit summaries with the explanation and they all don't take time for looking to the source. If you take a look longer than one second you could easily see it says there are 94 stories, because some floors are missing. Calling the top floor 104 doesn't say the building has 104 floors. And as well the institution with has to do with these kind of things says it has 94 floors. I just wanted to correct it but I've discovered this Wikipedia is just hopeless with people reverting edits without looking what the actually revert. - User:Supercarwaar/signature 17:51, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of tallest buildings in the Netherlands, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Babylon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, Supercarwaar, I don't understand your criticism of "Roman Vishniac) as not having "encyclopedic content" and your surprising suggestion that the article be rapidly deleted. As it is filled with content and referenced with 46 articles, multiple books and interviews and most recently a new book written about the new discoveries. It had been a FA for many years but a great deal more information has been recently documented in the book; Roman Vishniac Rediscovered, 2015. It does need updating due to the reemergence of about 10,000 previously unavailable images. Please explain what you meant.doctor k (talk) 14:18, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello doctor k, I haven't considered the article "Roman Vishniac" itself for deletion, but the article "Roman Vishniac/to do". It was deleted by another user after my nomination for deletion. It was deleted because the article had "no meaningful, substantive content", so it wasn't deleted due to doubt about the relevance. To the contrary, I do think "Roman Vishniac" is a relevant subject. - User:Supercarwaar/signature 15:24, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful.

They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Rchard2scout (talk) 18:37, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hans Vijlbrief, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deposit (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.)
Hi Tristan Surtel, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede6623:07, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That format is indeed used in the Netherlands. However, I write the articles I create about the Netherlands in American English (which uses mdy), since I'm more used to that variant of English and since WP:MOS only advises one particular variant of English over another when the subject has strong ties with that variant (which is generally not the case for the Netherlands). - Tristan Surtel (talk) 07:39, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lijkt het jou dan handiger om ze in de grote tabel per partij te sorteren en daarbinnen alfabetisch in plaats van gewoon alfabetisch? Dat lijkt me prima, al kun je nu alle leden van een partij ook bij elkaar zien door op de partijkolom te sorteren. Of bedoel je wat bij oudere lijsten van Tweede Kamerleden werd gedaan, het in losse lijsten zetten per partij onder eigen headers? Dat laatste lijkt mij namelijk niet zo handig nu er naast naam ook extra gegevens bijstaan. Het voordeel van één grote tabel en niet zeventien kleine lijkt mij dat over de gehele Tweede Kamer op leeftijd, woonplaats of datum van aantreden (zodra er halverwege de periode nieuwe mensen komen) gesorteerd kan worden (ik heb hiervoor naar een aantal featured lists van politici gekeken). Door op partij te sorteren is het nog steeds mogelijk de leden van een specifieke partij bij elkaar te zien. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 21:05, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tristan! I have a question for you. My name is Jeroen and I'm currently in the process of attempting to write an article about a Youtuber called TheStradman.
I have noticed you are the author of articles about Doug DeMuro and Shmee150 and are also a very experienced writer and editor. I would like to ask for your help.
My article draft Draft:TheStradman (of which I hope you can read) has been denied due to not having enough reliable sources. However, the subject of the article is unfortunatly not very well sourced at all. Is there a posibility you can help me with this issue, as I have the opinion that the subject is notable and has a home within Wikipedia.
Hey Jeroen, I have indeed written articles about those two car YouTubers, and I have to admit that it is hard to get an article about such a person accepted on Wikipedia. The article about Doug DeMuro, for example, was nominated for deletion but was kept in the end. To show that a subject belongs on Wikipedia (which seems to be the reason for the rejection of your draft) the article must show (by its sources) that it passes WP:GNG, i.e. it should have been described in depth by secondary, reliable, and independent sources. The most valuable sources for showing the importance of a YouTuber are articles by established newspapers or well-known car magazines. For example, Doug DeMuro's life and career (in-depth coverage) have been described by The New York Times and Philadelphia Weekly, while Shmee150 has been covered by The Telegraph and The Independent. These could be supported by articles by mainstream news publications about something the YouTuber has done, for example cnbc.com and Business Insider, to show that reliable sources care about/follow the subject.
Articles on Wikipedia are not supposed to rely heavily on primary sources, i.e. material directly by The Stradman such as his own YouTube videos, social media, and interviews. These rules make it difficult for YouTubers to be considered notable by Wikipedia editors (as there is no minimum number of subscribers for automatic notability), but it is necessary to use these secondary sources for an article to be accepted and not be deleted. So, it would be best to look more for coverage about The Stradman by reliable newspapers and respected car publications and add them as sourcing. However, if this coverage does not exist about him, then I'm afraid that it won't be possible to have an article about him on Wikipedia (at least until such sources are written). I hope this answers your question. - Kind regards Tristan Surtel (talk) 10:19, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Tristan, thank you for your fast and clear answers. Unfortunately, this was indeed the answer I was dreading. I understand though, as Wikipedia is a platform based on facts an not opinions. Thank you so much for your time and effort to respond to my questions. I will see if I can amass more coverage about him. Have a great day! Greetings Maaj01

Request of permission of uploading alternate version of your photographs
Hello! I'm currently creating a proposal to shift the designs for the Wikipedia page of the list of tallest buildings. For the part that includes the Gevora Hotel, I am interested to upload alternate for both of your images where it is cropped in 3:4 ratio:
However, I do want to request permission from the original uploader, which is you, for the uploading of the alternate, cropped versions of both photographs. Thank you! Cheers, PenangLion (talk) 07:21, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hoi Tristan,
Ik ben Anneloes, de zus van CDA politicus Harmen Krul en ik schrijf namens de familie een berichtje naar je. We willen je bedanken voor de hoeveelheid werk die je in zijn wikipediapagina hebt gestoken, maar tegelijkertijd wil ik ook vragen om informatie die niet relevant is verwijderd te laten. Het noemen van bijvoorbeeld mijn naam, of zijn partner en hun kindje voelt voor ons onprettig. Ik heb dit nu zelf aangepast. Ik hoop dat je dit kan begrijpen en zo wilt laten staan. Alvast dank. Vriendelijke groet, Anneloes Annenoet (talk) 09:06, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Anneloes, de eerste naam kan inderdaad weggelaten worden (dit is geen heel relevant feit). De verdere informatie staat er met referenties en is in openbare bronnen terug te vinden; dit is daarom opgenomen overeenkomstig met het betreffende Wikipediabeleid, WP:BLPPRIVACY. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 17:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hoi Tristan,
We begrijpen dat het klopt conform Wikipedia beleid, maar vanuit menselijkheid en respect, hoop ik dat je kunt respecteren dat we het niet prettig vinden dat de naam van onder andere zo'n klein kindje in een Wikipedia artikel terug te vinden is, dit is overigens in het Wikipedia privacy ook terug te vinden in het volgende: "The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons. The names of any immediate, former, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject." Met footnote F, waarin duidelijk staat: " This is generally interpreted by the community to include the removal of names of non-notable minors from articles about their notable family members, such as when a notable individual births or sires a non-notable minor. Notability is not presumed or inherited with extremely limited exception (such as heir to a throne or similar)."
Ik hoop dat dit afdoende zal zijn. De naam van mijn neefje is op geen enkele wijze relevant voor de politieke carriere van mijn broertje. Annenoet (talk) 19:07, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Bedankt voor de verdere beargumentatie. Hiermee lijken de namen inderdaad in dit geval weggelaten te kunnen worden. De tekst eromheen heb ik wel teruggeplaatst, gezien dit verdere achtergrondinformatie biedt (en ook in openbare bronnen beschreven is). - Tristan Surtel (talk) 19:17, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see you created, and represent a significant chunk of addition to the Shmee150, as well as much of photographs of him. Are you connected to Shmee150 professionally or personally? Graywalls (talk) 10:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Graywalls. I am not. I watched his YouTube videos for a while, which is how I got the idea to write about him. A car fanatic living in the Netherlands, I was visiting the 2019 International Amsterdam Motor Show, where Shmee150 had a stand. There, I took a picture of him, as it is always difficult to find freely available pictures for Wikipedia biographies. I then ended up using it while writing the article. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 11:32, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tristan, I had a question. How do you feel about merging some of the rows in the electoral history tables on Dutch politicians? I think it would generally benefit the table because there is less text. Might also be useful on pages where the table is squeezed by the infobox. Dajasj (talk) 15:47, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Dajasj: I would be fine with that change for rows concerning the body and party. I have no objections, and it might indeed marginally improve readability. (btw, you seem to be having quite a productive summer ;) It's nice to see these lists being filled in. Not sure how you're exactly doing it; for the the European one I did use a script to get it somewhat automated.) - Tristan Surtel (talk) 20:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
