Andrievs Niedra[edit]

Sorry for criticizing your work, but that article has several problems. It is not written in the standard format or style of Wikipedia articles, look around and read some others and see how they are written and arranged. The image links in the article do not function. You also failed to cite your sources, and did not say where the information in that article came from. - SimonP 04:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are links throughout, is there a footnote standard that you suggest? Writing style includes a prophetic quote at beginning. I've read that on other Wikipedia articles. Should birthdate information come sooner? Auseklis 04:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes at the begining of articles are unusual on Wikipedia. Ideally every article should begin with a short sentence saying exactly what the article is about, with the subject of the article in bold. It is currently somewhat diffcult to see where the information comes from. Most articles have a seperate section at the bottom for references, listing each source. - SimonP 04:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Compare Andrievs Niedra and Juris Hartmanis. Andrievs Niedra needs to be formatted and written more like Juris Hartmanis, which is a fairly standard Wikipedia article. - SimonP 04:30, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Usurpation[edit]

I wanted you to know that I want to usurp your username as it's my username on other wiki, as you only made a few edits and as you are inactive for more than 2 years.Auseklis (talk) 12:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Usurpation[edit]

Hello, Auseklis. A request has been made at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit. Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations says that any unused username may be usurped if the user is given seven days notice to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat or changing username clerk explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to utilize the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing: the request will be filled after seven days, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed: please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. Auseklis (talk) 12:32, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
