User talk:ZoeperkoeReferencesGeography of Mesopotamia. Which point exactly do you think is so improbable as to demand it be referenced to stand. Adel (talk) 14:34, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
NetworkingHi Zoeperkoe, I know this is probably not the space for this, but I don't know of any other way to contact you. I've noticed your contributions to a number of articles of personal interest on Syria, Mesopotamia, dams on the Euphrates, etc. I am currently working on a dissertation about modern water management practices on the Tigris and Euphrates. Each time I wander back to Wikipedia for a forgotten date or place, I see your username and think, "I really need to talk to this person!" I am very interested in your work and would be delighted to connect. If you like, please drop me an email at my wikipedia account --Dale Allakbullak (talk) 19:45, 2 April 2012 (UTC) Good to see you backHello Zoeperkoe, good to see you back here. I have a feeling you might be interested in Tell Sabi Abyad; it's a huge site, and I'm afraid I have little access to literature on the subject (and it's a little bit beyond my basic understanding of archaeology).

Qal'at Khawabi locationHello Zoeperkoe, I noticed you've done a lot of work on List of castles in Syria and was wondering if you could provide the coordinates for Khawabi, a medieval citadel in the Tartus District, in the subdistrict of al-Sawda. I'm having a lot of trouble finding an accurate location. Any help would be appreciated.

I basically created the article for the Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) with this edit [1] back in March of 2015. Before that point the page was just a redirect page. I was the one who introduced the BC date system back then since the article was essentially a massive copy+paste job (and yes, I am aware now that I should always give credit to the people that I am copying+pasting from, which I will make sure to do when correcting myself over the next few hours as quickly and as efficiently as possible) and I intended to fix the article, but it's taken me longer than I thought it would have. I have already been warned about this before and so I intend, again, in correcting all of my mistakes as quickly and as efficiently as possible. If you prefer that I revert the article's date system from BCE back to BC, then I will do just that. I apologize for any convenience that this may have caused. — SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits (talk) 21:16, 29 July 2016 (UTC) ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open! Hello, Zoeperkoe.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Reply to: "Articles on Gutian rulers"Admittedly, I did actually end up using Wikipedia itself as a source. I used the regnal years shown on the Gutian king list that appears on the article for the Gutian dynasty of Sumer. I apologize for that. If you feel that I should have those regnal years removed, then I will have them removed. — SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits (talk) 15:22, 27 March 2017 (UTC) Unfortunately the Gutian period isn't one I have any specific knowledge in. I've stuck to the post-Ur III period until Mukin-Zeri, but the chronology of the early 2nd Millennium is still very vague with little consensus.BigEars42 (talk) 18:02, 28 March 2017 (UTC) Reply to: "Gutian dynasty of Sumer and Akkadian empire"@Zoeperkoe: I think that it would better for the articles of both the Gutian language and Gutian people be merged into Gutian dynasty of Sumer. What do you think? — SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits (talk) 17:25, 3 April 2017 (UTC) Reply to: "Early Dynastic period of Mesopotamia in your sandbox"@Zoeperkoe: OK. But remember: I was the one who basically created the article for the Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) with this edit [2] back in March of 2015. Before that point the page was just a redirect page. So I'm not exactly sure why some people seem to disagree with some of my edits on that page. For example: I've noticed that somebody has been reverting the article's dates from BCE to BC, even though I was the one who had initially introduced the BCE date system when I created the article (as I have a preference for BCE, but whatever.) I also did notice that you seemed to have copied and pasted almost word-for-word from Google Translate's translation of the French version of this article (in particular their subsections for both "Neighbouring regions" and "Inlay".) I considered doing that myself (as I had noticed that the French version of the article seems to be the only one to have reached Featured Article status), but I am aware that Google Translate doesn't translate everything perfectly. The grammar and spelling for the "Neighbouring regions" subsection of the article seems awkward and wonky somehow, it doesn't really seem to fit with the rest of the article. It feels out of place. I was actually grabbing ideas from the translation of that page, which was why I added the "Geographical context" section and "Neighboring regions" subsection to the article back in October of 2016 with this edit here [3]. I was planning on copying, pasting, and then rewriting the translation of the French version's "Neighbouring regions" subsection so that it would fit better with the English version of the article. But I'd already been warned several times about copying and pasting content, so I was a bit slow in paraphrasing and reworking the material that was being copied. I may have gotten a lot more work done by now if I hadn't been blocked from editing Wikipedia for about four months. Also: what good would undoing all of my edits do? Wouldn't that basically undo entire articles that I spent months on, such as the article for the: Old Assyrian Empire? I spent most of 2016 working on that article. I basically created that article back in January of 2016 with this edit here (without logging into my account) [4]. I created it because I was severely disappointed by the incredible lack of content there seemed to be on the Old Assyrian Empire compared to the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The Neo-Assyrian Empire article is over 6,000 words long. By comparison—the section for the "Old Assyrian Kingdom" on the article for Assyria back in December of 2015 [5] was just this sad little blurb about 2,000 words long. Not only that, but the article for Assyria was itself over 18,000 words long (152,463 bytes). And I've already been warned in the past about making articles "too long". On here Wikipedia:Article size, it states that once an article reaches > 100 kB, it should: "Almost certainly should be divided". So the article for Assyria back then was most definitely already far too large and so it needed to be divided, which is why I decided to create a separate article for the Old Assyrian Empire. I spent months scouring Wikipedia, looking for whatever information I could find in relation to that particular period. I managed to put together a fairly decent article over the months (I'd like to think.) Although it's certainly not perfectly, I think I've done an OK job with it so far. And, yes, I admit that a lot of it was copied and pasted from other articles. But I spent a great deal of time paraphrasing, rewriting, reworking, and summarizing a lot of that content. Hell, I even worked on rewriting a lot of the articles for Old Assyrian kings. I worked on the article for the Early Dynastic Period of Mesopotamia in very much the same way. And, yes, of course, I do eventually plan on adding new material that isn't already available on Wikipedia. But for now, I think these articles that I've been working on look OK. It's given other people something to work on in the meantime. — SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits (talk) 19:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC) Reply to: "Recent edits"
Cut-and-paste move from Middle chronology to Middle Chronology
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.

What you need here is someone else saying about Dan Eckert that he first used the term hyperlapse.(...)" Okay! Although Dan Eckert was the first one who named a video motion timelapse video "hyperlapse", I understand, that generally it´s not obvious, wether someone changes the name of a video afterwards. Best regards, --spacetimetraveler —Preceding undated comment added 11:09, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi Zoeperkoe, Thank you for your constructive answers. I added some more sources. Especially the interview where bzoomi talks with the inventor of lrtimelapse. In this interview, bzoomi claims, that "(...) as far as (he) knows, it was Dan Eckert,(...)" who first named a video "hyper-lapse". Dan Eckert did not tagg it with the term by the way, which is interesting and instructive. No doubt, there have been lots of further developments since that time, which we should include as soon as possible by the way, but it is obvious also, that since the term was given birth, filmakers and other entities "jumped" on it and by doing so, the term became more and more significant. And by that, this article became more and more embattled. The more it became a common word, the more people later claimed to be the inventor of the term. I hope you will agree with the edit , because: As long nobody will or can proof the opposite, it is written , that Dan Eckert was the inventor of the term. Does this make sense to you? First was the term, and then everything else followed, not vica versa. Best regards, --spacetimetraveler
Hi Zoeperkoe, I added some sentences on "development" Could you please look over and add some more? Thanks in advance Best regards, --spacetimetraveler
Thank You! Well done, indeed! The whole article became more and more "too long" You structured it well. I read all of your changes. Maybe readding some small lines, but not too much! I am only not totally agreeing when you completely deleted the part about Behzumi´s Berlin Hyperlapse, especially the citation of the TV Report from 2012 . As it was particular "Berlin Hyperlapse" which gave the term "Hyperlapse" an initial worldwide publicity and influenced the whole genre sustainably because of its exemplary nature and role model function. Additionally, until that release , this "moving timelapse technique" was more common under the term "motion timelapse" so "Berlin Hyperlapse" stamped and popularized or "coined" the term "hyperlapse" long before the then followed publications of all kinds. As it is also quoted in one of your suggested references: http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/04/03/pacer_the_first_hyperlapse_shot_in_montreal_by_guy_roland_in_1995.html "During the late 1980s and early 1990s, filmmaker Guy Roland pioneered the technique on Super 8 mm film, and made a 1991 short film called Pace in Montreal, Quebec. But his 1995 follow-up Pacer (above) is lauded as the first true hyperlapse, though this term wasn’t coined until 2012. Roland shot the film on a Bolex 16 mm camera, but the original negative is gone." and here in one of my previously added references: https://www.rocketstock.com/blog/how-to-make-a-hyperlapse/ "The term gained popularity with the release of Berlin Hyper-Lapse from Shahab Gabriel Behzumi. Behzumi focused on featuring iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate. Using a city’s landmark helped create an identity for the video. If you are shooting a hyperlapse, be sure to include some type of iconic feature in your film. Berlin Hyper-Lapse influenced filmmakers all over the world to travel around their own cities. It spawned a whole series of walk-through films, like Time of Rio from MOOV. This hyperlapse also includes video footage throughout it as well."

I think you are still an active editor, since your edit history shows you have made a substantial number of edits this month. I saw your name in a conversation from seven years ago at Talk:Sumerian literature and, looking at your edit history, I see you edit articles about ancient Mesopotamia. I have worked on several articles about ancient Sumerian deities. (I recently brought the article Inanna up to "Good Article" status.) I nominated the articles Enlil and Anunnaki for "Good Article" status back in August and September of 2017 respectively, but they are both still awaiting review. I was wondering if you would be able and willing to review them, since you seem to have knowledge on the subject. I have also made this same appeal to BigEars42, who was also involved in the same conversation, and who, judging from his edit history, seems to have a more specific interest in Mesopotamian religion than you do. Unfortunately, I am fairly certain that he is no longer an active editor, since he only made eleven edits last year. --Katolophyromai (talk) 03:32, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
The list that was in the portal was a transclusion of the list in the tell article. When you split the list off to another page, you inadvertently broke the portal. No worries, I've inserted the new routing information (sourcepage and section). The new portals generally do not have independent content - most all of it is transcluded from somewhere else. Similar to this (see the wikicode): {{#section-h:List of tells|Tells}} That way, the content of portals always match the source of the material. So when the List of tells is updated, so is the portal. Nice job splitting off that section to its own page. It makes an excellent stand-alone list. Keep up the good work. — The Transhumanist 11:38, 23 October 2018 (UTC) List of tells moved to draftspaceAn article you recently created, List of tells, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published.

You're disregarding how the owners of ETCSL and AMGG would like to be used as sources on their pages such as:
