[edit] A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, Thogo, Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:
And remember:
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
  • P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

[edit] Clogged clogs

Thanks for helping out there. I'm not sure that guy took the time to look and see that that was a redirect. :) pschemp | talk 13:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Np. Yes, maybe. :o) Probably I will learn myself somewhen how to make disambiguations here. --Thogo (Talk) 17:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] List of rail accidents

There is currently a discussion about whether we should set criteria for inlcusion of accients on the List of rail accidents page, and if so what the criteria should be.

The discussion is located at Talk:List of rail accidents/Criteria for inclusion, where your input would be most welcome. Thryduulf 00:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Thogo (Talk) 10:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MEC BelfastSta.jpg

I don't understand what is your issue about my image "MEC BelfastSta.jpg". Please elaborate. Centpacrr 16:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I re-uploaded the image on Commons (you find it here now), so that other projects can use it as well. (Doesn't that stand in the message on the image page? :o) ) So it is not longer neccessary on en.wp. Btw., please always upload images on commons, and not here. That helps other WM projects a lot. --Thogo (Talk) 23:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, I understand what happened. I'm still a bit new to all the vagaries of how the various Wikipedias deal with storing, licensing, and linking to image files. Centpacrr 03:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
No problem, who should ever know all these many different ways of licensing and so on... I don't understand most of it either, since I write articles and hunt vandals most of the time (not here, in de.wp only)... Btw., I'm still searching for photos of the narrow gauge railroads in Maine (the original ones, not the museum tracks in Portland, Sander's and Alna). If you have something that you can put under PD-old I would be very happy... ;o) Grtx, --Thogo (Talk) 15:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, Thomas. I don't really have anything in the way of PD images of the Maine two-footers, but you might find visiting my extensive illustrated history of the Belfast & Moosehead Lake RR of interest. You can find it at my site BMLRR.com. Centpacrr 23:47, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I know this page. It is really interesting. I already linked it in the German article about this railroad. :o) --Thogo (Talk) 15:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad you like my online B&MLRR history, Thomas. For links to my main railroad website (it has over 5,000 pages of RR history materials and images) and my current 445-page railroad book please visit my Wiki User Page. Centpacrr 22:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aramaic Wiktionary

Seeing your knowledge in Aramaic, I believe that you may be interested in something that has been recently proposed on Meta. If you'd like to help us get the Aramaic Wiktionary established, please add your name to the "Users interested in forming an editing community" section, and voice your support in the section labeled "Arguments in favour". Thanks! :-) אמר Steve Caruso (desk/AMA) • Give Back Our Membership! 06:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I don't think that I have time to do that (I mean participating in an arc.wikipedia). I'm fully busy with the German Wikipedia and Wiktionary and with Meta. Maybe later this year. --Thogo (Talk) 10:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sumerian people

Hello i have seen you knowlegde about the Sumerian language, i wonder if youi can help edit "Sumerian people"Nochi 07:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Principally yes, but look at the yellowish box at the upper edge of this page... Maybe after my exams (October). --Thogo (Talk) 21:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Erzgebirgisch poem

You can go to Erzgebirgisch#Translation and edit the translation yourself, this would be excellent.  Andreas  (T) 17:16, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I did. --Thogo (Talk) 17:34, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Senseless tag

Dude, calm down. You can talk in a polite manner, even in situations like this. First off, that was not a bot or script, it's an external program. Second, If you read Wikipedia:Subpages, the first sentance says that subpages do not belong in the mainspace. Also, while placing notices on user talk pages are recommended, they are not necessary. If you read any CSD template, it says "Please consider placing a notice on the creator's talk page". In reguards to the CSD notice itself, that's for the {{hangon}} tag is for, which I see you did already, which is no problem. Hope you have a better night then your having now. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 01:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't answer here, keep the discussion coherent. --Thogo (Talk) 02:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

I considered not spamming talk pages but not saying "thanks" just isn't me. The support was remarkable and appreciated. I only hope that I am able to help a little on here. Please let me know if I can help you or equally if you find any of my actions questionable. And I do wish you well "elsewhere"! Thanks & regards --Herby talk thyme 12:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, you're welcome. --Thogo (Talk) 09:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your vote

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of (53/0/1).

As a token of my appreciation, please accept this bowl of tzatziki.

I feel honored to be trusted by so many of you. Wikipedia is such a large community, that my acceptance in the face of such large numbers truly is humbling. I will use my new tools to continue the tasks for which you entrusted them to me.

Gratefully, EncycloPetey (talk) 18:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
No problem, thanks for the Tzatziki. *mjam* --Thogo (Talk) 01:28, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
