I am currently revising for an exam and as I do it have been updating some wikipedia pages and putting expand from German articles, I note there are a lot of forestry articles that could be so expanded and also some wildlife / ecology / geology ones. Also much was done maybe 5 or 6 years ago and science has moved on (the Plant list from 2013 and IUGS time map from 2013) but of course the old sources are not so updated. I mention this as you have an interest in German articles connected to these topics and maybe you will look to update, might be useful to know! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.244.83.168 ( talk) 12:31, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Bermicourt, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, especially your recent creation of Limes Britannicus. Keep up the good work! You are making a difference here! With regards, Anupam Talk 21:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC) |
Dear User:Bermicourt, I look forward to seeing the expansion of that article. In addition, I work on several theology-related articles as well and am excited about the prospect of you joining that WikiProject in the future! All the best, Anupam Talk 04:52, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
The English Wiktionary defines Ortsteil as a district of a town. If that is incorrect, could you correct it?
Where would an Ortsteil rank in terms of the hierarchy shown shown in the graphic.
It appears that many other Wikipedia articles make the mistake of interpreting Ortsteil to mean division of a town, specifically articles about German places classed as villages. Is the redirect at Stadtteil also incorrect? ZFT ( talk) 21:47, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
I've been watching your great work on List of hills of Somerset & noticed you haven't included anything on the Mendip Hills - Black Down, Somerset has an elevation of 325 m & prominence of c. 241m so presumably should be included as a Marilyn. I would do it myself but I'm very unsure of the classification system being used.— Rod talk 19:28, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
Well done for your continued work on this but I'm confused. Niver Hill[3] & Niver Hill (county top)[3] have different fgrid refs & the county top one claims "Highest point in the current county of Somerset and the unitary authority of Bath and NE Somerset." It can't be the highest in Somerset (although possibly BANES). Glastonbury Tor is described as having "No feature" - its got a ruined church tower on top. Burrow Mump is described as "No summit feature; ground in remains of a church." - the ruined church is on top. I'm not sure what is going wrong or where you are getting these from but, having walked up most of these I know something ain't right.— Rod talk 15:09, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

The first leg is Bristol. Names are to be added at the bottom of the Bristol page and articles listed. Please also make sure that you add entries you improve/start to the main list on the main page. There will be £10 to win each day for the most points accumulated and then the winner of the county crowned after three days. The overall winner will be decided from the points accumulated from each county round. If you're not interested in winning anything and want to contribute anything you want from the West Country this is fine too though. Best of luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:04, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm not so sure we can win the struggle at Wikipedia talk:Categorization for the old number sorting system, people seem to oppose clever category sorting. If we remove the numbers, we have to think of something else for the "other waterbodies" as well, because they will be mixed up with rivers starting with "C", "L" etc. Maybe create a separate subcategory for them, like "Other waterbodies in the Rhine basin"?

Hi. The article River Derwent, Derbyshire just popped up on my watchlist, and in looking at I noticed that back in April you had removed it from the Category:Tributaries of the River Trent. At first I assumed that was some kind of mistake, as the article is so clearly a candidate for the category, and most larger rivers do appear to have such a category. So I reinstated its membership. But then I noticed that you had redirected Category:Tributaries of the River Trent to Category:Trent catchment. Not sure I much agree with this, as (a) the latter is a much bigger subject than the former, and (b) the latter now has a really bizarre indexing strategy based on a numeric representation of position that seems to stretch the whole idea of categories to and beyond breaking point (and would IMHO be much better represented in a list).
There was no explanatory comment on either change, I can see no indication that this was part of a bigger program to restructure river categories, and hence I can see no sign of any debate on this change. So I have also reverted your redirect (I've made no changes to Category:Trent catchment). Of course this now leaves us with a Category:Tributaries of the River Trent that has only one member when it should have lots. Before I start fixing this, and possibly doing more harm than good, I thought I had better try and find out what your motivation was for this change, and whether any consensus had been had. -- chris_j_wood ( talk) 10:57, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Hello and greetings from cloudy Geneva, With regard to "das Lehen" (singular) and "die Lehen" (plural), you are right. You are applying 20th and 21st century grammar rules to a word that is in current vocabulary and usage.
With regard to "das Afterlehn", which is now outdated (veraltet) and no longer in vocabulary or dictionaries, applying 20th and 21st century grammar rules is flawed, because you will not (normally?) find the word with those rules applied. The same would be true, for example, with modern day "besitzt", which in the 18th century was "besitzet".
Unless I have been reading too fast and not paying attention, the singular form is always written "Afterlehn". The plural form is written "Afterlehne" in the 18th century. In the 19th century I have also observed "Afterlehen".
Examples: Page 258, line 10: [1] Page 264, line 6: [2] [3]

Hi there! As far as I'm concerned, "an" is to be used before words that begin with vowels or that are pronounced as if they were beginning with a vowel, to upkeep flow of reading. In "history" I do not believe that is the case, since the "h" is clearly and understandably pronounced. Well, just read it aloud : "was an historic police force" or "was a historic police force" - which one fits? - ImmernochEkelAlfred( Spam me!

Hello Bermicourt,
Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?
This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:
There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.
If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:
All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the {{ Pass}} and {{ Fail}} templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.
If you can help, please {{ ping}} me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Mathglot ( talk) 06:14, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

When I came to the WikiProject Austria page today, I found that everything was grouped with the sidebar for some reason. I checked the edit history, and the last edit was the edit in which I added the tab header to ease navigation. The tab header was working fine when I first added it yesterday, but now, it seems to have moved the whole page into the sidebar. Do you know how to fix this while keeping the tab header?
Thanks, DraconicDark ( talk) 16:04, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
Yes, I see that it got fixed. Thanks for fixing it. DraconicDark ( talk) 19:14, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
I checked again today, and everything's grouped with the sidebar again. The page history does not indicate any changes to the page, so I don't know what happened. Even when looking at a past revision without the tab header, everything is still grouped under the sidebar. It might be something in the wiki markup of the sidebar that's making it react adversely to the tab header and/or the page. The sidebar hasn't been changed since 2011, which seems to add credence to this theory.
I created the tab header based on the one that WikiProject Germany has, and the tab header and sidebar there have never had any adverse effects on the display of the project page. In addition to this, WikiProject Croatia has a similar setup without adverse effects. Notably, both of those sidebars are composed of collapsable lists.
Sorry for the page issues. DraconicDark ( talk) 02:16, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
I suspect that it may have something to do with me adding the tab header to the open tasks page. This causes the tab header to appear in the sidebar. In addition to this, the tab header is on the project page twice: on top of the page, and above the Members section. I will see what happens if I remove the members section, since the members section is already a separate subpage that can be accessed with the tab header.
To fix the issue, I would recommend changing the sidebar to be something similar to what WikiProject Germany or WikiProject Croatia has. What do you think?
Thanks, DraconicDark ( talk) 15:04, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
I removed the tab header from Portal:Austria/Things you can do and the project page was fixed. This proves that the issues are caused by the sidebar reacting to the tab headers. DraconicDark ( talk) 22:28, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these file are commonly referred to as " non-free images". Non-free image use is highly restricted and each use of such an an image must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason, File:BMW Berlin Marathon logo.svg cannot be used in Portal:Berlin/Article management. You can add an internal link to the file like I did or remove it altogether if you want, but you can't display the file. Perhaps you did not notice the edit sum I left the previous time I removed the file, so I am posting here for further clarification. If you have any further questions about this, feel free to ask as WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 22:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
Hallo Bermicourt! Excuse me, that I use German for my Posting. But my English is not so well. Hier ist mein Anliegen: Ich habe diese Woche Schloss Hartheim in Oberösterreich besucht. Meine Großtante war eines der Opfer. Ich habe eine Reihe von Fotos gemacht, diese auf Commons.wikimedia.org eingestellt und dort auch eine Reihe von Kategorien angelegt. Ich habe dann in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia entsprechende Erweiterungen gemacht. Sie sind noch nicht ganz fertig. Auch könnten andere User noch Korrekturen vornehmen. Aber vielleicht wäre diese Erweiterung und die neuen Bilder auch für die englischsprachige Wikipedia interessant. Kind regards from Austria. Heinz -- Stefan97 ( talk) 06:19, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi old friend. I've just stumbled across a page that I believe merits deletion on both EN and DE wiki. It's on Grass climbing and I'm afraid is totally unsupported by any credible references. One is a photo of someone going up a very steep grass slope; jokingly titling their pic as 'we call this grass climbing', whilst another is a German forum discussion for someone making up a grading system for their mates to discuss (no replies that I could see). Neither of these can be deemed as WP:RS to support any claim this is a sport or a form of climbing that merits an article. OK, I've climbed some steep and utterly dire grass slopes in the Alps in my time, but that doesn't make doing it a sport or a branch of climbing- just a nightmare. So, out of respect (as you translated the page) I wanted to quickly seek your views and those of @ Ericoides: before I take it to WP:AfD.

On 24 September 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Stadt Zürich (ship, 1855), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after the Stadt Zürich collided with another ship in Lindau Harbour, a Bavarian correspondent sarcastically commented that it had sunk more German ships than the entire Royal Danish Navy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Stadt Zürich (ship, 1855). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Stadt Zürich (ship, 1855)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Battle of Strasbourg (506) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Strasbourg (506) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fram ( talk) 07:54, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
Looking at your recent creations, and seeing that you have "created over 4,950 articles", as mentioned on your user page, has me worried.
Your other recent articles are all translations from dewiki: have you actually checked the sources used in these, or simply copied them and the information in the articles without verifying them? I see that you haev been warned about copyright problems in the past (e.g. in User talk:Bermicourt/Archive 10), but in the end the lack of actual verification of what you write is probably even more worrying. It's no good having articles on enwiki if we can't trust the author on enwiki to have at least verified the contents with the sources given. Fram ( talk) 13:18, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

I have noticed that you renamed the article "Kaczawskie Mountains" to "Katzbach Mountains" with the reason behind this being "Surprisingly the more common English name". You made a similar change to the article "Wałbrzyskie Mountains" (although that one was originally created under the German-English name). Do you have some specific sources that support that (I'm really not trying to be rude here, I'm genuinely curious)? Most modern literature about the Polish part of the Sudetes mountains is Polish and uses Polish or mixed Polish-English names, maybe except for historical references to the period before 1945. The use of German-English (as opposed to Polish-English) names for geographical features that are entirely in Poland also looks quite odd, as most articles about geographical features in the Sudetes use names in languages of the respective country those features are in (be it Czech Republic, Poland or Germany), unless there is a fully English name available. In the case of the Waldenburg/Wałbrzych Mountains, this looks even more odd, as they are named after a major city in the region, and the Wikipedia article of that city is "Wałbrzych", not "Waldenburg".
Best regards

I checked the Amazon sales page for that ASIN. They don't actually have the book, it offers nothing beyond the publisher info we already have. It gives a publication date of Jan 1, 1964, which is clearly incorrect, so all Amazon have is the year, which we already have. Arguably the Amazon page is less correct than the info in the cite, because it gives an exact publication date which is almost certainly wrong. In point of fact I am finding it very difficult to validate the citation at all. I cannot find a copy in any of the library databases, for example. Guy ( Help!) 09:58, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Would you have any interest in translating the featured article Elcor, Minnesota for the German Wikipedia?
