User talk:Markussep/Archive 1
Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions on Hungarian counties. Looks like good stuff. I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself. Before you start doing a lot of editing, you'll want to take the Tutorial. It gives all the basic info you'll need as you start contributing. You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Help desk. You can also drop me a question on my talk page. Happy editing, Isomorphic 15:28, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Town CategoriesGreetings! Just to let you know these categories are available:
and that
You might consider making a Category called something like Hungarian Comitatus, and filing it under Hungary; that would clean up Category:Hungary. Best, Bill 11:06, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC) Redirect you created at "Waasserbëlleg"Hi, you created a redirect from Waasserbëlleg to Wasserbillig, but there is currently no article at Wasserbillig. (It may have been deleted since the redirect was created.) Wikipedia policy is to get rid of redirects to non-existent pages, and someone listed Waasserbëlleg on WP:RfD If you want the redirect to stay, you will need to create something at Wasserbillig (even a stub will do), or else the redirect will go away. If you do create the target, you don't have to do anything on WP:RfD (we'll eventually notice the target is there), but if you do, just delete the entry for Waasserbëlleg. Thanks! PS: Wikipedia style is that people generally reply on the User_Talk: page of the person who wrote a message to them (that way, someone doesn't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person whom they are having a "conversation" with), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. Not everyone on Wikipedia uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), I but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks! Noel (talk) 05:01, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) Article LicensingHi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
I think we may have both been editing the same aricle at the same time, perhaps it would be best if all the information for province and city were in the same place, as perhaps Ragusa, Sicily, with a redirect from Ragusa, Italy. Ragus on its own could be a disambiguation page. There is insufficient information for Ragusa city to be anything other than a stub, so I think it is better with the province.

Luxembourg stubsHi Markussep - I notice you've been starting several articles about places in Luxembourg (good!). Just thought you should know that they now get Template:Euro-geo-stub, rather than just a plain Template:geo-stub. Loads of countries now have their own geo-stubs, and most of those that don't have continental geo-stub templates. There's a full list at the top of Category:Geography stubs (don't worry - no-one would be expected to learn the lot, but knowing the one or two related to countries you work on is a good idea!). Anyway, keep up the good work with the articles, and if you can, please use the more precise stub messages! Cheers, Grutness|hello? Hi Markussep, currently there are variants like "X (county)", "X county" and "X (Hungarian county)". Why not harmonise it uppercase (like in X River)? This would only apply to Counties where the word "county" is needed. In case a historic county now part of another country need to be referenced, like above mentioned "X (Hungarian county)", I suggest to name it "X County, Hungary". see also Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Subnational entities#Current use . Tobias Conradi 02:52, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
if "X english" is allowed in text, why not use it for title?
River namingMoved the discussion to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rivers. I stopped moving articles, let's see what the discussion leads to.
I've tweaked your edit to make the sequences of Brabant's division clearer. Please have a look that it's still perfectly accurate. Only one link for each nation is usual. --Wetman 22:09, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
ForêtsDear Markussep, I saw that you contributed a lot to the article Forêts. As we in the lb-wiki also started to work on that one, some questions suddenly arose, as we found that the cantons listed in the English article differ from those in the French article (actually there are listed the chef-lieux, but anyway) and both differ again from what we found in the Arrêté Joubert of September 11, 1795. May I ask you which source you used for the cantons listed in your article? --Otets 08:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
Thank you a lot. I did not think about the Gallica. It seems indeed that there were many administration reforms, with cantons renamed, chef-lieux transferred etc. We will dig that, but I foresee that it needs some time, given the complexity of the matter. I will keep you posted with respect to our final results. --Otets 15:00, 3 May 2005 (UTC) AlpsHi! Are you currently working on a cleanup of the structure of the various ranges of the Alps? The reason why I am asking is that it seems to me that the your recent edit IMHO has made the page less clear than it was before, especially with respect to the Eastern Alps, where there already are pages on the Northern Limestone, Central and Southern Limestone ranges. The incomplete list of subdivisions in the Eastern Alps that is there now (with useless pages such as The Alps of Bavaria, the Vorarlberg, and Salzburg) is only misleading. Of course, the whole structure of the Alps pages (except for those three Eastern Alps subpages which I translated from the German Wikipedia) is still strongly based on the 1911 Britannica needs severe cleanup.

Maybe you like to have a look at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (provinces). Tobias Conradi (Talk) 23:33, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi! What I think we should do is list all the districts (járás) and urban districts with no link to them, and then list the capitals of all these districts with parenthesis of what the current names of the capitals are. Here's how you can find out what the capitals are. Go to this link, then scroll down to were Szatmár is, or you could just go directly to the image. Anyways, it has the districts and their capitals there, and so we could have something like this for Nagybánya district: (This is how they did it in Máramaros)
I didn't know that site, it looks nice! I totally agree with your proposal. Markussep 17:34, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) Sorry for editing you page so much, but you could also see this link
Transliteration of Greek into English.This looks like a useful article. I must admit I've been a bit puzzled as to how to transliterate Modern Greek (and official Greek Government sources seem to be inconsistent). Why do they still (I think) put HELLAS rather than ELLAD(H)A on their stamps? A few suggestions:
Best of luck! rossb 11:31, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Markussep 14:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) Bulgarian languageThanks for the contribution to the standardising of the transliteration of the Bulgarian articles here!! VMORO 23:21, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) CarpathiansSince you seem to be interested in the division of the Carpathians, maybe the following links could help you: the modern geomorphological division of Slovakia at sk:Geomorfologické členenie Slovenska (and the old orographical one at sk:Orografické členenie Slovenska). Juro 2 July 2005 20:32 (UTC) There are several ways how to divide mountain ranges. I am not an expert, but since I have written e.g. the German Carpathians article I have become an expert on this. The only "scientific" division of mountains is - as the name suggests - the geomorphological one, therefore it is used in e.g. in the Slovak article (it is based the newest version of the 90s) and thought at universities as the only modern system. The same system is used in Czechia, Austria, and Germany (at least). Then there is the orographical, physiogeographical etc. division, which is - again as the name suggests - is more "practical" (descriptive) and "geographical". Now, I did not check it, but as far as I remember, what you say about the differences seems to be exactly the old (orographical) system, which was abandonned in Czechoslovakia in the 1970s, because - as I have found in an encyclopaedia - it was not "scientific" enough. (This does not mean that one cannot divide the Carpathians in more than two vertical units Carpathians, but if one goes into details, the system cannot be used systematically.) Also, the Slovaks know their own mountains (Western Carpathians) better than anyone else, I assume... If you insist, I think I can find the modern system for the whole Carpathians in a certain book (which I do not have here now). Juro 3 July 2005 22:09 (UTC) P.S: (1)I have checked the Polish page quickly and it uses definitively the old system (even the names of Slovak and Czech mountains are not correct anymore), so I would not use the system, for territories outside Poland at least. (2) As for Poloniny, this is the Slovak equivalent of German de:Waldkarpaten. At the time Carpathian Ruthenia was part of Czechoslovakia the whole Eastern Carpathians were alternatively called Poloniny. The problem is that the eastern border of "anything" in Ukraine is disputed, so that I cannot tell you whether Hoverla is still "there". Another problem is that the Ukrainians call another (smaller) part of the Carpathians "Poloniny". (3) ad: Hungarian circles. I'am afraid I do not know which "circles" you mean. Could you give a link or so? Juro 3 July 2005 22:31 (UTC) Defunct Napoleonic-era départements outside of present-day FranceI'm not sure if you've edited non-English Wikipedias; but the Dutch, German, and Italian ones sorely lack articles on these former départements now located in Germany, Benelux, Italy, and Switzerland(just a couple dedicated articles for Mont-Tonnerre and Ourthe in German Wikipedia plus Forêts in Luxembourgish Wikipedia, none at all so far in Dutch and Italian).Just a heads-up suggestion...Ranma9617 4 July 2005 05:43 (UTC) Chiboth kh and ch are used in English when transliterating χ: kh is less ambiguous, because readers unfamiliar with Greek will assume that ch represents the church sound of Enlish ch. dab (ᛏ) 17:08, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
Greek languageThere seems to have been a nationalist orgy going on there in the last couple weeks, especially on the talk page; I tried to put in a word of sense to the effect that Homer and Demotic weren't perfectly mutually intelligible, and was ignored. Care to look in? Septentrionalis 18:37, 23 July 2005 (UTC) Mesta RiverYou were working on a doublet-article resulting from non standarding naming. [2] I merged you contributions into Mesta River.

Provinces of GreeceThe provinces of Greece are not prefectures or departments or even regions or states or other provinces like Argentina and Finland, they are like districts (like Japan, not as prefectures) or counties. Some people refer to Elis and Corinthia as provinces but not prefectures but in Wikimedia and other communications including newspapers and in Greek, they are prefectures and provinces like the province of Elis or Ilia and Parnassida is like a (low-level) district, not a department of a prefecture which the Ilia Province covers nearly half of the prefecture. They are not disbanded, they are at the quaternary level, not the tertiary level like the prefectures. They administer minor roads. Pumpie, 18:45, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC) They have powers but not as strong as the prefectures, regions or rarely municipalities, they also probably have elections but not with the municipalities or the prefectures, I'm not sure what part of the four-year they use or the regional (peripherial) elections, they administer countryside roads that are not residential but links with villages, some towns and communities. Pumpie, 19:03, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC) asking for supportHello, since you are interested in goegraphy I thought hat you might support our letter to Centre for Cartography, Vilnius University. We are asking to release their maps found at www.balticdata.info under GFDL licence so they could be used in articles about Lithuania. So far we got 14 people to "sign" it. The draft in very very rough English is available at user:Renata3/letter. If you decide to support it, I'll need just your first and last names together with your user name. You can leave it on my talk page or send it via email: just attact @gmail.com to my user name. Renata3 22:31, 3 September 2005 (UTC) "Populated places"I recently spent a great deal of time and effort making all the "list of communities...in Greece" articles consistent. I've just discovered that you're changing them all. That's not necessarily a problem, but there are two worries: first, "populated places" is extremely vague, and sounds rather odd in English, and secondly, the articles are all lists, and their titles should therefore be of the form "List of.." (as they were). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:59, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
about greek citiesFrom Makedonas. hello,i am Yiannis from greece and my favorite hobbys are geography ang foreign languages.i m not very good at english:)About the list of greek cities,i correct my first list because the first time i wrote the population of the cities with the suburbs(althought many of these place in the list are suburbs of Athens and Thessaloniki).My sources are http://www.statistics.gr and http://www.ypes.gr/kapodistrias/index.html. I hope you like it. Aboute the estimate for 2005 i havent found any reliable source.thanks for the comment:) Hello from MakedonasHi,well i think we use the same source but i use it in greek: http://www.statistics.gr/table_menu.asp?dt=0&sb=SAP_1&SSnid=Στοιχεία%20Πραγματικού%20-%20Μόνιμου%20-%20Νόμιμου%20Πληθυσμού table 6 . There are 3 populations for every city.1. the population of the "municipality" (this one include the suburbs/villages of every city) 2. the population of the "municipale department" of the city (which include some neighborhoods of the city which are not autonomus suburbs/villages) and 3. the population of the central part of the "city" without these neighborhoods. For the big cities municipality,municipal department and centre of city is the same thing.For the other cities we usualy use or the population of municipality(city with suburbs) or the population of municipale department to express the city without the suburbs.I used the second one.I thing you used the third one,thats why there is a little difference.That is for now.for any question i m here... Hungarian countiesHi! I'm planning to split all the counties and comitatuses that have the same name into 2 articles. Békés and Csongrád are already done, which leaves Fejér, Heves, Nógrád, Somogy, Tolna, Vas, Veszprém and Zala, I'll split them too in the near future. I think 1950 should be the dividing line because the present county system was formed then. Alensha 18:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC) Alpes-MaritimesJust to say thanks for spotting my slip of the brain re "Alpes-Maritimes" in the 130 départements. You'll note that I referred to the "County of Nice" in the colour key, and yet I still somehow managed to miss it! Cheers, Silverhelm 01:21, 8 October 2005 (UTC). Weißenburg in BayernHi Markussep! I've seen your interest in other ß-related votes and thought you might be interested in this one: Talk:Weissenburg in Bayern. Currently there are four votes for moving to Weißenburg in Bayern. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 22:04, 12 October 2005 (UTC) List of cities in GermanyThank you for doing a lot of the work I needed to do after moving this page over (I will still try but it can be a bit time consuming). I hope you agree that the German Wiki's version is better than the incomplete and spread out version we had earlier. I also think it is at the very least important that the German Wikipedia's titles all be redirects on the English Wiki. Best, Tfine80 00:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC) hello there, terribly sorry to disturb you with this topic, but there is a new vote Talk:Weissenburg in Bayern on finally renaming it to Weißenburg in Bayern and since you have shown previous interested, I just thought I'd let you know what is going on... with kind regards.

Please cast your vote to keep these valuable, informative, and indeed fascinating lists at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of country names in various languages. Thanks! Pasquale 16:26, 2 November 2005 (UTC) Trentino-South Tyrolhello there, there is a discussion about renaming the current Trentino-South Tyrol into Trentino-Alto Adige. maybe you care to take a look. Since you also wrote the article Talk:Eisack-Isarco maybe take a look there too. with kind regards Gryffindor 11:45, 7 November 2005 (UTC) RfA for HalibuttHello Markussep! In case you are unaware, Halibutt is going through the administrator vote process. I believe that any input you could provide would be valued. Olessi 08:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)  As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers!
