User talk:Thomas Ludwig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi. You placed the text "see Gerhard Ludwig" on the page Mittwochsgespräche. The correct way to do it is to write:

#REDIRECT [[Gerhard Ludwig]]

because then the visitor does not need an extra click and is directly redirected. Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way! — Timwi 17:09, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize the Germany article. Thy comments were highly inappropriate. Ertz 06:34, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The history section of the Germany article

Please consider that the text under History in the Germany article is an summary of the set of articles covering German history more in detail.

It would by much appreciated if you, first of all, improved the respective sub-articles, and then when these changes have reached a mature stability, tried to remove at least as much text from the summary as you add. If we don't follow such a principle, the Germany article would grew uncontroled, and its disposition would be badly warped.

Thanks for the interesting extra info on Sylvia Beach! Djnjwd 23:28, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Your repeated POV and inaccurate edits to Saudi Arabia

Phrases like this one are factually inaccurate and inappropriate: "public beheadings can be observed on a daily basis" -- BCorr¤Брайен 12:46, Mar 20, 2004 (UTC)

Hello Thomas. Your personal remarks about me on Talk:Saudi Arabia are inappropriate, as are your constant reversions. There are many bad things about Saudi Arabia that could properly be included on this page. But your current edits are not only POV, they are factually inaccurate. If you want to use Talk:Saudi Arabia to discuss with other WP users how the page should look and come to a majority agreement, then you have my full support. If you keep blindly inserting your own "facts" and refuse to discuss them, then people will think you are a vandal and you will get blocked. Another user has already listed you as a vandal, but I have asked that you not be blocked yet. Please remember that if you exaggerate and include obvioulsy inaccurate information, nobody will take the "information" on the page seriously and the credibility of WP as a whole will be damaged. I am sure that is not the outcome you desire. Let's work together to make this article fairly represent both the good and bad things about Saudi Arabia. What do you say? Anjouli 16:07, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I have to agree. Your repeated POV changes are making the articles in question inaccurate. Please discuss your changes and how we can make them more accurate. RickK | Talk 00:23, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'm going to give you a chance to fix the garbage you put into Saudi Arabia. Otherwise it will have to be reverted and protected. RickK | Talk 01:48, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Complete Sentences

Hi there Thomas! I'd appreciate it if, when writing biographies, you used complete sentences, for instance, instead of:

German journalist. Started his career as a Nazi propagandist. Expressed publicly his satisfaction upon the execution of pianist Karlrobert Kreiten and other opponents of the Nazi regime.

Try:

Werner Höfer is a German journalist. He started his career as a Nazi propagandist. He expressed publicly his satisfaction upon the execution of pianist Karlrobert Kreiten and other opponents of the Nazi regime.

Thanks! moink 19:45, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

(except [[German]] is a disambiguation page rather than an article so should be linked as [[Germany|German]] - fixed in the above examples) -- sannse (talk) 18:52, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Kortelisy

Hi Thomas,

In the Kortelisy article, I found that a section of text you contributed was copied verbatim from http://ukrhistory.tripod.com/page-20.html.

PLEASE don't do that! Such actions could jeopardize our entire encyclopedia if they became prevalent! If you DO have permission to contribute the said text under the terms of the GFDL, then please expressly state that. You can also quote, like so:

On the website http://webaddress, the following was said about the issue: "quoted text"

Or do something similar. In the meantime, I have deleted the infringing text, rewritten the most important sentence (so it can legally stay) and introduced http://ukrhistory.tripod.com/page-20.html as a reference.

Please have a look at the article and its history and let me know if you're ok with that.

regards, Ropers 16:22, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Fritz Lang in Thea von Harbou article

I note that you added "jewish husband Fritz Lang filed for divorce" to Thea von Harbou, a while back. What's the evidence that Lang was Jewish? The Fritz Lang article never mentions it, and I consider it highly unlikely that Goebbels would have offered Lang the German film industry if he were (as mentioned in Fritz Lang. One of the two articles must be wrong. --Ben 13:24, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
