Volkswacht
Thanks for reviewing the Volkswacht article and for creating new articles about the Danzig and Romanshorn newspapers. Do you intend to write these articles also in German or, alternatively, would you permit their translation? --Zaxevi (talk) 06:50, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. I can't write articles in German, but please feel free to translate them. Moreover, all articles at Wikipedia are free content, and can be translated and modified by anyone. --Soman (talk) 14:08, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Your articles are certainly worthwile translating. The article about the Danzig newspaper should be a precise translation of your article. A translation of your article about the Romanshorn newspaper will follow later. --Zaxevi (talk) 21:52, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:PKI symbol.png
Thanks for uploading File:PKI symbol.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:41, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
|
Thank you for your recent articles, including Karl Buchwald, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:34, 12 September 2014 (UTC) |
