User talk:GerritHello Gerrit and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Good luck! CommonsOok hallo! Ik heb me op Commons ook maar geregistreerd aangezien het een interessant concept is, sterker nog, heb het altijd dubieus gevonden dat er geen centrale image repository is. Nu hopen dat het project een beetje rap van de grond komt, hoe eerder hoe beter. -- Solitude 13:36, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC) I don't know what editarticle.py is, but please don't use it again until the part is fixed where it breaks links across newlines. That's pretty bad. Knudde met een rietje, zeg maar. :-) JRM 13:54, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC)
Map of LaplandI do not have anything that could be used right away. If you want to do such a map yourself, maybe Image:Nordic-countries.png would be usefull? I have done location maps for Finnish towns and municipalities, for example Image:Finnish map with Rovaniem highlighted.png. I guess something similar for Sweden and Norway would be best. -- Jniemenmaa 18:27, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC) User name changesaw your comment on the change user name page, just wanted to hint that User:Gerrit seems to be free, its red. GOGETIT! :) Dan Koehl 22:09, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

DYKWarofdreams 11:31, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC) A message to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Rivers participantsWould you, please, consider participation in the discussion about the naming of the articles on rivers? Certain users suggested that the word "River" should be omitted from the title. Currently the discussion is held at User talk:Markussep#River naming, but it will hopefully be moved to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rivers soon. Thank you for your attention.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 21:10, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC) 00Because his number was 00 and I thought it would be cute. Feel free to change it if you don't like it. Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 12:05, May 10, 2005 (UTC) Summary element and MgmbotI'd already put a speedy tag on Summary element. Your Mgmbot added a second one. Maybe it still needs a bit of work? — P Ingerson (talk) 16:32, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
"Stupid categories"Sorry you see it that way, but I those categories serve a great purpose. There is no racist intent in them; if anything, it is the exact opposite. --FuriousFreddy 17:34, 19 August 2005 (UTC) Meetups in NYCJust saw your edit. I've seen info about past meetups -- is there a calendar somewhere that we can watch for future meetups? Thanks. Thanks for helping meJust a quick note to thank you for correcting my error in placing deletion notes on Hopkin Green Frog on that page's "talk" page. --tgeller 21:34, 1 October 2005 (UTC) DYK
ga-0Now, I'll be damned if I understand why you show up in the ga-0 category, and I, who uses the exact same template (and has the category showing up on my user page), do not. Any ideas?--Ag Foghlaim 21:52, 3 November 2005 (UTC) Might I ask why you wish to use a separate page only for transcluding a single line in a template? Radiant_>|< 15:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Dayton Peace AgreementHello, Gerritholl. Thought you may want to know that the Dayton Peace Agreement is already on Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/December 14. -- PFHLai 23:56, 22 November 2005 (UTC) Featured article for December 25thI noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-28 08:15 VWN en WCNBeste allemaal Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven. Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 13:50, 25 February 2006 (UTC) hi-can u plz help??Hi Geritt,Im takin a Debate course in which the subject we're supposed to be debating is the possibility of havin platonic relationships between guys & girls.I was lookin 4 the exact definition of platonic love 'n i read ur name under the "Quotes" :( The quotes section mentions only negative quotes.

Wikipedia Cat Lovers' CommitteeGerrit, I can see from your userboxes that you love cats. Would you be interested in joining the Wikipedia Cat Lovers' Committee? If you want to join, you can add yourself to the members list and contact the committee founder, me, GeorgeMoney on my talk page. Thank You. --GeorgeMoneyTalk Contribs 22:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC) Extremes on EarthI restored Eureka as the coldest average place based on verifiable data. If you look at Environment Canada's weather data for Eureka and Resolute you can see that the daily average for the year is -19.7 for Eureka and -16.4 for Resolute. Also, Alert is -18. Oymyakon is difficult to research as this only gives the daily weather and most sites are only interested in the fact that it got down to -65, -68 or -71 depending on where you look. The problem is that it may be colder on average but it's not possible to say for sure. I did use the link to Oymyakon to check their summer temperatures and they seem to be a bit warmer than Eureka.

None of us could figure out which language it might be in, but the majority said it must be northern Sami. None of us could understand the text though. Have you tried contacting User:Ante Aikio? He's a native speaker :) -Yupik 19:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC) WikiProject BackpackingHello, I noticed you seem to like Backpacking and was wondering if you'd be interested in WikiProject Backpacking, a new project geared towards improving backpacking related articles on Wikipedia.

MBisanz talk 02:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC) Copyright concerns, Harry van BommelHi. Another contributor has tagged Harry van Bommel for copyright concerns, citing its source as [1]. It was listed according to procedure at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2009 January 22, but evidently you were not notified. I see you indicated in edit summary that you had permission to replicate this material. Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for the requisite steps for verifying that. In brief, a GFDL release at the website, which is still marked © SP 1996-2006, would suffice. Otherwise, we can use an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication. If you have any questions about the verification procedure, please let me know at my talk page. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:32, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preferenceHello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled. On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

I invited you to the AfD even though you'd already said you challenged the speedy deletion. However, I also asked you to review the article, its content, and its sourcing. There are lots of bad citations and lots of text unrelated to the Swiss Referendum in the current version of the article. Recently some editors have found better sources by googling the German term for the proposition, and I'm now hopeful that we may be able to get a decent article from them. I hope you'll join in that effort. I also would ask you again to review the current text and sources, which you appear to be endorsing at the AfD, and which are highly questionable, for reasons that have been enumerated on the article talk page. At any rate, thanks for joining and I hope we can get many more editors to work on this. SPECIFICO talk 17:34, 14 June 2018 (UTC) ArbCom 2018 election voter messageHello, Gerrit.
