[edit] Hello Glenn

I assume since you are Danish that you are not Glenn, but I thought you might be interested in knowing there is an article with that name. 66.245.208.69 22:36, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

  • Image:Large_hailstone.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{PD-self}} if you wish to release your own work to the public domain, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. Peter O. (Talk, automation script) 21:25, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Hi Poccil

I am pretty certain that I have not uploaded this picture to the english Wikipedia. But - I think I did found the site where the picture comes from. I found it, when I used the picture on the danish Wiki. I have put the site on the page and it contains copyrigt information. My username is there because I made a link to the danish wiki uploaded picture!

It is the automated conversionscripts fault that the original user, that uploaded it, can not be found.

[edit] Interwiki link to en:

Hi,
At comparator, you added interwiki links to da:, de:, and sv:, and also one to en: enclosed in an HTML comment tag. What is the purpose of this link (or rather, non-link)? --Smack (talk) 01:03, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi Smack. The purpose is to ease en-link on non-en-wiki articles. Glenn 19:24, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

First, is that really necessary? They can just copy and paste the page title. Second, is it really clear? They might (misunderstanding the comment tag) think that it's some arcane sort of link to another page. Third, will it confuse our own contributors? Tally up one already. --Smack (talk) 19:53, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WikiCommons

Hi, when you move images from en: to WikiCommons (such as Image:PencilSharpenerBatteryOp.jpg, don't forget to include important information such as the name of the photographer and the image history. The copyright owner has a right to be credited according to GFDL. Also, images with incomplete information may be deleted from WikiCommons. Regards, Thuresson 12:16, August 3, 2005 (CEST)

Hi, I will remember now. --Glenn 09:03, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page name for temperature articles

To avoid flip-flopping between 'degree Fahrenheit' and 'Fahrenheit' or 'degree Celsius' and 'Celsius', I propose that we have a discussion on which we want. I see you have contributed on units of measurement, please express your opinion at Talk:Units of measurement. Thanks. bobblewik 22:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from an article. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kaspazes talk 12:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kaspazes. If you mean [1], then it was on purpose, because the Scandianavian countries is a proper subset of The Nordic Countries, and not the other way around. Even in Denmark it happens that people make that mistake. --Glenn 12:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thermodynamic

Glenn...how does this look...?? I happened to notice how chart used to look...had a bunch of characters in there that appeared to have no reason...did not know the two were the same....nice job noticing...have tried to make it appear a little better and clearer if it is not understandable let me know and will play a little more....have fun.....Sno2 09:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

It looks fine - thanks - I will add a newline in a moment. --Glenn 09:52, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you much....somehow could not figure out how to get that line down...had it like you have it but line would not move...don't know what was doing wrong...maybe should get some sleep...is almost morning here...Mange tak....have more fun....Sno2 10:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Glenn, My mistake. While I don't know exactly what is meant by a 'Regenerative cycle' is, you're correct that the Rankine cycle, Kalina cycle are phase change cycles. I had intended to alphabetize, and overlooked your categories. I believe I've now put it back the way it was, but you may want to double-check. thanks, FWIW, perhaps someone should make stubs for the Regenerative cycle, etc.

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149. Glenn added add date: 09:40, 19 March 2003 (UTC)


[edit] subject

Hello, Glenn. I removed the links to news articles from Archaeology because the article could very quickly get too long if we carried on including them. It would be different if you could guarantee to update that section at regular intervals. See Talk:Archaeology for a fuller explanation. Deb 14:01, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] subject

Hi Glenn, I've removed links from the scientific name of eg Whooper Swan because it's a self link back to the article. It's better just to create the redirect from Cygnus cygnus, which is already the case for, eg American style lower case versions like Whooper swan.

You can create the redirect article from the browser navigation bar, without having a real link.

Hi, I've moved Ringnecked Pheasant to Common Pheasant, and redirected all the numerous links to that. I hope this makes sense, if not we had better discuss it before we get into an edit war (although I'll be out most of today). You seem to have Green Pheasant as a subspecies, my book gives it as a species, but I've no strong views on that.jimfbleak 05:38, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] subject

Glenn, in case nobody else has shown their appreciation, I'd like to thank you for all your work cross-referencing with the Danish wikipedia. Josh. Glenn appended date: 03:13, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hello. Stop making Kielesguhr link to itself as I've said before. I can understand making the mistake once, but to insist on it even after corrected I do not understand. Morwen 10:44, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)

Hi - please don't make self-links - that is articles that link to a redirect to the same page. It is a waste of time for someone clicking on them. People keep removing them but you keep readding them! Secretlondon 10:46, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)

Sorry I forgot. But it is convinient to check if all references are present and point to the right article. Glenn 11:19, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] subject

Hello! I have a request, assuming that you speak dannish... (Actually my father grew up in Copenhagen) Can you translate the Pachypodium lamerei of the danish wiki to the english? We have some Pachypodiums but not that one. Cheers! Muriel Victoria 16:09, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hello Muriel
Your assumption is correct - I am a dane - and from Copenhagen.
I have translated the article about Pachypodium lamerei. I have got Madagascar Palms two times, but this is now a long time ago. regards, Glenn 11:42, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I have added the correct photo to Night-blooming cereus (Selenicereus grandiflorus). Thank you for moving the other image to the right article. Perl 15:38, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Why capital letters -- Quality of Service, rather than quality of service? Michael Hardy 20:20, 27 May 2003 (UTC)


[edit] subject

I note that you have added a whole lot of new links to Distributed power (and the danish Distribueret_elproduktion that are more appropriately Renewable energy. I have just expanded the basic article. Can you please review all those links as I do not think a lot of them are really appropriate to this topic but should be on some other more appropriate page. Would you also like to translate the english to danish? ---- kiwiinapanic 10:28, 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)


[edit] subject

Your article on Distributed power would be more accurately titled Distributed generation. It is an article which fits well into the series of articles on electricity, electricity market, electric power transmission, electricity generation, and electricity distribution, which I have been working on. Distributed power is more about the distribution of power whereas "distributed generation" is a topical subject associated with how local generation can contribute to how future electricity needs can be met. I agree with kiwiinapanic that there are too many unrelated links. I would be happy to cooperate with you on the article, if you wish. Tiles 05:46, 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
