A personal message from me (Dna-Dennis) to fellow Wikipedians

I am not very active anymore on Wikipedia, therefore I hope that users who post messages here don't feel offended if I don't respond to requests. I hope, trust - and leave it to - other wikipedians to carry on working on and/or altering things I have created for Wikipedia (e.g. various maps, diagrams and images etc). I'll surely check here on my talk page now and then, but please don't expect me to take on any work at the moment; if I feel the urge I will do so, but - it's purely up to me :). Throughout the years I have talked to and collaborated with many professional and friendly wikipedians, and I am very thankful for this fruitful and interesting experience. I'll surely participate in some way concerning scientific articles now and then, tweaking a little here and there. Dna-Dennis (talk) 17:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gravitational Constant

What is the meaning of the parenthesis in the gravitational constant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.182.40 (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the parenthesis is the uncertainty (+-) of the measurement(s). See Gravitational_constant#Laws_and_constants and Uncertainty#Measurements. --Dna-Dennis (talk) 21:09, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Defining celestial & elliptical

Ty for the graphic showing the celestial poles, etc.

I found it via google.

Could you explain on your graphic why they'r called celestial, and what elliptical means in the context of your graphic?

space travel

earth rotates east to west at 17000 mph, and the shuttle obits at the same speed. If the shuttle is orbiting on the same trajectory as earth east to west would it appear stationary in the sky? 50.72.67.195 (talk) 21:17, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:WW2-Holocaust-Europe.png

Hey Dna,

There are several positional errors on this map:

  • Topovske šupe was in Belgrade, just a couple of kilometers away from Sajmište
  • Crveni krst should be a part of town of Niš, so these 2 are also very close, and both are too much west (and southwest)
  • Jasenovac is way more to the east

These are the errors regarding Yugoslavia that I found in one quick look.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hitler-Headquarters-Europe.png

Hi, I just came across your map http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hitler-Headquarters-Europe.png and I have to make a few comments, because there a some errors in it. Pleas take no offense. ;-)

The lines that separate the German territories before and after 1938 - they are mostly wrong, especially those in today's Poland and Czech Republic. Take the 3 lines between Berlin and East Prussia - the western line is merely post-war, then there is no reason why one line is broken and two are continuous. Frankly, I'd leave them all out in Greater Germany (as you do it in Greater Hungary and Greater Romania), because those areas were actually under direct control of the Hitler regime back then, and the separation suggests a status like the protectorate. And they only partly show present borders, so that's inconsistent. Same in France - the line separating Vichy France and the other half looks like the state borders elsewhere. On the other hand, those in the Soviet Union make sense.

And why is Italy not coloured as an Axis state? It was a foundation member.


Ok, that's it. But it's a cool idea to make a HQ map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.86.2.64 (talk) 17:24, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Albania

Hello Dna-webmaster. Probably I am at the wrong place, but since you had listed your name here, I thought that you might be the person that can take care of tagging articles with WikiProject Albania. Some are tagged, some aren't. If you can't do that through a bot, could you please advise who would? Thanks! --Perkohesisht ai i vjetri (talk) 17:10, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

Thank you for the excellent photographs of Oradour-sur-Glane. I am an American, but with great sensitivity about that war because I am a native German born in 1949. Nothing good happened during that war, but perhaps photos like yours will forever remind us of what we can become if we allow it. I have my doubts about my country here. But thank you again. I visited all your photos. One question about this one. I do not see the bicycle, only wheels, drums and of course the sewing machine. My user name is Furshur, but my name is Ken (My father was an American soldier). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Furshur (talk • contribs) 18:16, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Visual legend

I was wondering if you have separate files for all the symbols you used on this and subsequent maps. If you do, and they are available in commons, I could use them to create visual legend ({{legend}}) for those maps without one. Thanks very much. Carlotm (talk) 21:05, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Holocaust in occupied Poland

Great map. I have two small corrections to offer, related to the long caption/explanation. 1. Nazi-German-and-Soviet what? Your hyphenated construction is inconsistent. Soviet-Russian would be a better adjective parallel to Nazi-German. However, I think everyone familiar with this era will recognize what Nazi-and-Soviet means, so I recommend shortening to the simpler phrase, not lengthening. 2. Deportation routes are what color? Perhaps "rosy brown" is meaningful in Swedish, but not in English. In fact, the color appears mauve (grayish purple) on my screen. However, the arrows on your excellent map all have the same color, so I recommend cutting the color adjective entirely. Martindo (talk) 21:24, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
