User talk:Cyfal
Hello everyone!
- If I post you a message on your user page, you can respond on your user page – I will add it to my watchlist.
- If you post me a message here, I will respond here.
- (If you prefer another method, it's also ok…)
Dates
Yes, you are right. SB is very conservative about making changes, especially to date linkage. Thanks for answering the other query. Rich Farmbrough, 15:08 26 October 2007 (GMT).
Godzilla question
As you were one of the last few people who edited the Godzilla article, I am hoping that you might know something about the series. Could you please go here to see my question on that article's talk page and give your opinion? Thanks. - LA @ 19:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry. Although I have seen some of the films—and I love them—I'm far from being an expert. My edit was one of a large number where I changed the name of the band Blue O/Öyster Cult from "O" to "Ö" in various Wikipedia articles (which is easy with the german keyboard I'm using.) Thus, my Godzilla (series) edit is actually not much related to the monster. --Cyfal (talk) 20:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Nagasaki, Nagasaki
Hi! Please see the order of the languages on the Main Page. Japanese is 日本語/Nihongo. So it is listed after Nederlands. I know that the two-letter language abbreviations is also acceptable. But I edit per the Main Page. Oda Mari (talk) 06:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- Excuse me/sumimasen! You are right, it is better to keep the same order of interlanguage links in Nagasaki, Nagasaki and in the Main page. But this good idea did not come to my mind when I made my edit... I updated these links because I found Nagasaki on the page here on this page so I tried to update both the French and the English Wikipedia article with identical links. Therefore, I entered in both Wikipedias the interlanguage links in the same order. However, only on the French mainpage, 日本語 is placed before the netherlands. Thank you for correcting me. I will now modify the order in Nagasaki, Nagasaki somewhat further, because I noticed, that also other interlanguage links are not in the correct order, e.g., simple english is on top in the Main Page, but currently not on top in Nagasaki, Nagasaki. Thank you --Cyfal (talk) 17:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Just a shout
I'm finally here. Let's see if this weekend will bring one or two new articles... --HexaChord (talk) 19:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hello and welcome! --Cyfal (talk) 19:59, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Your vandalism revert has truncated the article - please have a look! Pterre (talk) 21:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your notice! I must admit I have no idea what happened – maybe I had accidentally closed a tab in my browser when the reversion was still in progress? I have recreated the correct version now[1]. I will now check my edits of today to check whether this was the only case. --Cyfal (talk) 21:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- No, the others are ok... I will watch this somewhat in future. --Cyfal (talk) 21:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you. I will take a look at these pages regularly in future, seems interesting. --Cyfal (talk) 08:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Oops
Thanks! I must have missed that. I seem to have misspelled it during a Google search. Good job. :) Jmlk17 21:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem – I was just trying to formulate a message for your talk page to draw your attention to my modification, but you were quicker ;-) With all those vandalism, it's easy to overlock one of the modifications that are only wrong layout but factually correct... --Cyfal (talk) 21:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: Interwiki sort order
I'm using AWB, so if it is wrong it is a bug in the code. BJTalk 02:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Confusing I don't actually know why that happened when editing with AWB. I personally put them in order by the two-letter abbreviation, but AWB does not - they use some other order that I've never understood and may in fact be the order on that Meta page. Since you acknowledged that both sortings are acceptable, why did you revert? Anyway… -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯
- Yes, reverting was not necessary, but I think the other order is somewhat nicer because the languagues then are then ordered alphabetically for the reader of the page, not for the editor. (I got into this task by the Nagasaki, Nagasaki diskussion here on my talk page, the previous contribution of Bjweeks was the answer to this.) Thanks for answering --Cyfal (talk) 22:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Re
Thanks for fixing the little typo on my userpage, and no problem about the accidental revert on Boxing. I've done that on numerous occasions myself :) FusionMix 21:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you - your revisions give a more balanced and agreeable section of text. Contaldo80 (talk) 09:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Question
How do I undo multiple edits by one person? Joedaddy09 (talk) 07:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have installed the script Twinkle for my User Cyfal, so this gives me some more "buttons" to do such things easyly.
- However, without such tools it's also possible: simply go to the revision history, then click to the date of the last unvandalised version. Then this version is displayed, then click on "edit this page" and save it without any changes.
AfD nomination of Bill Blankenship
An article that you have been involved in editing, Bill Blankenship, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Blankenship. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
Thank you, but I only reverted some vandalism in this article, I have no clue whether Blankenship is notable or not. --Cyfal (talk) 15:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
The Concentration City
Whilst on the topic of J G Ballard, I don't suppose you've read many others of his short stories and want to help create articles? I was on the path to making most of the articles listed on The Complete Short Stories of J. G. Ballard: Volume 1, but I can't find my copy of the book itself to continue reading! ArdClose (talk) 16:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- No, sorry, it was I long time ago when I read The Concentration City in a book I borrowed from a library (BTW, in German). However, when I read your article, I remembered the story again. --Cyfal (talk) 16:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Basket weavers' museum
The first link says there is a website, but there is no link to a website. Does not show much of anything, fails as a reliable source, fails to verify anything. The second one says it exists, but no addreess or information , and says tours are available if you arrange by phone, Sounds like a collection in someone's home. No notability, not a verification. You are quite withing your rights to remove the PROD notice. If the prod stays off, I will probably nominate it for AFD. Thanks for searching for references; please add them to the article. Edison (talk) 01:13, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
- I already added the second link to Basket Knitter Museum of the Romas. The first one I only mentioned because of the article's name. I have no problems with an AFD, I think this is better than the PROD because we may get some more discussion from this. (However, I can't contribute to it because I know not more than these two google hits I found.) --Cyfal (talk) 02:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Your edit to TylerPuetz
You identified the last edit as vandalism, because of the inactivity note. I would like if you didn't do that; but sorry about not being on my username.
Please reply on my talk page, if necessary.
- Not a big deal, I was really busy, and didn't take the time to log in, about the IP, I share it with some other people which might not be the best people on Wikipedia... - Tyler Puetz (talk) 17:54, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Of Of
Thank you for spotting the pair of 'of's' in the Frederic Forrest article. I'm always on the lookout for such errors in articles. It doesn't help any if I make them myself! Regards -- Hurrmic (talk) 00:42, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've used a Google search so therefore I found a lot of these "of of", I've tried to fix some of them – thank you! --Cyfal (talk) 07:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks also for finding and correcting this in David Owen Dodd. Truthanado (talk) 02:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Bot Builder Award
Thank you for the award! It's always nice to be appreciated. BTW, did you try purging to fix the not-showing-up issue? Anomie⚔ 02:18, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- No, I thought reloading the page was enough – obvisously not... thanks for the hint on purging! --Cyfal (talk) 06:18, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Können Sie vielleicht mir helfen?
Hi, I've noticed your useful contributions to William Blake and also noticed that you were a native speaker of German. I'm trying to get native speakers to help me with my translation of de:Inuit-Kultur. If you have time, please look at User:Lithoderm/Inuit culture- any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lithoderm (talk) 15:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- I've looked at your page – still a lot of work to do... Ok, I will from time to time add some contributions to your page! --Cyfal (talk) 18:36, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I've found another native speaker to help us on this. See User talk:Ratzer. You're still welcome to contribute in any way you can, of course. Lithoderm (talk) 03:04, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
German windmill lists
Thanks for your help improving the article. Many of the states have their own articles, although I still have about three to do. I'm currently working on a list of windmills in one of the Counties of England so will leave the missing ones for now. Mjroots (talk) 15:55, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- It was fun updating your article, thank you. --Cyfal (talk) 18:41, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Panduro Hobby
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Panduro Hobby, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 14:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Translation of Inuit-Kultur from German Wikipedia
Hey friend, in agreement with user Lidotherm I'm taking over the translation starting at "Übergang ins 21. Jahrhundert", and I'm getting close finished. I'm just telling you so we don't do double work, since I saw that you translated "Zeitgenössische Literatur" and something further down where I'm working on. Please have a look here (I started my own project page because I didn't know that Lidoderm already had one, plus my work style is slightly different, I'm not translating in a parallel column, but work myself down in the German text, replacing by English text, paragraph by paragraph). The first half Lidotherm copied into this page, from the work you and he had done. We're getting close to the end, and should be able to put up the article during this week.--Ratzer (talk) 06:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Fine! If you like, you may copy the "further down" parts I already translated at User:Lithoderm/Inuit_culture into your Ratzer/Projects/Project2. Although my English is not as good as yours, these parts may be helpful for you, especially because I already checked which links exist in the English Wikipedia and which don't (e.g. the Makivik Corporation etc.). I will not translate any further to avoid double work. Thank you for your work! --Cyfal (talk) 17:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ich bin jetzt mit "meinem" Teil fertig und habe auch ein paar Zeilen und Wendungen von Dir übernommen (man lernt ja nie aus). Du und Lidotherm solltet noch die Originalbildchen in den ersten Teil mit reinnehmen, dann können wir einen schönen Artikel daraus machen.--Ratzer (talk) 21:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Wahnsinn, was ein Tempo! Ich überlasse dann das eigentliche Einbauen Lithoderm. --Cyfal (talk) 21:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Lithoderm hat sich vorerst aus der Wikipedia zurückgezogen, wie er mir mitgeteilt hat (Zeitmangel oder Behandlung von Wikipedia-Sucht, oder beides?) Auf alle Fälle hat er mich gebeten, mich um die Fertigstellung des Inuit culture-Artikels zu kümmern. Soweit ich die Sache überblicke, müssen noch zwei Unterkapitel übersetzt werden:
- 1.8.2 Gesellschaftsstruktur und Lebensweise im 19. Jahrhundert
- 1.8.3 Nomadenleben in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts
Bevor ich mich da an die Arbeit mache: hast Du da schon was übersetzt? Wie immer möchte ich gern Doppelarbeit vermeiden. Willst Du noch etwas davon übernehmen? Ich hab die nächsten zwei bis drei Wochen nicht so übermäßig viel Zeit, mal schauen was rauskommt wenn ich immer wieder mal zwischendurch ein Viertelstündchen dransitze.
--Ratzer (talk) 19:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ich habe noch nichts weiter gemacht und weiß auch nicht so ganz, ob ich in den nächsten Tagen dazu komme – aber ich würde vorschlagen, wenn ich Lust habe, übersetze ich einfach Absätze weiter und speichere die gleich auf User:Ratzer/Projects/Project2 ab. Soweit ich es verstanden habe, bereitest Du ja auch nichts auf Papier vor, sondern speicherst es auch gleich dort ab, insofern gibt es dann keine Doppelarbeit, weil jeder sieht, was der andere schon gemacht hat. --Cyfal (talk) 21:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Castle (company)
I have nominated Castle (company), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Castle (company). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Re: Spelling of quote
Thanks for your message, I truly appreciate it. I was not certain, but it seemed to me that the original was probably correct, having encountered Blake's curious use of punctuation. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 21:51, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Panduro Hobby
A tag has been placed on Panduro Hobby requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Nuttah (talk) 17:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Jeeziz. Consider the day lost in which you learn nothing, as my Latin teacher used to say. I'm sure there's a joke that could be made about the packaging of meat, but I'll refrain ;) I used to use the ARTFL dictionary (retracing my steps), but it seems to be gone now.

Hi you altered soemthing on my profile, problems
I was just ondering how you tackle someone who is unresonbly rewriting an entire article, this is a problem I am currently experinces, I have issue with the alteration if it is an improvemnet,, but I think the users constant rewrites are destroying imformation which is important to the article. What would you suggest, thought you may be someone to ask.
