User talk:Markus Krötzsch

Please do not post comments to that page but send me an email to markus at semantic-mediawiki.org.

The reason is that I am rather inactive in editing at the moment, and I tend to overlook new entries.

Hello Markus, welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them -

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! -- Finlay McWalter 17:15, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Ah (I just read your userpage) - you're not so new :) I assume you know that you can have anon entries you made credited to your new accounts - see Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit. -- Finlay McWalter 17:20, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, I will consider this. --Markus Krötzsch 00:17, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

OK, attribution has been changed. --Markus Krötzsch 20:54, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I love your Fox squirrel photo! Got any more of those? I'm a big fan of S. niger, and good pictures are hard to come by. --Pollen 05:29, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! I have some more (orignial sized) pictures on that fence. They were all taken with a digital camera, so the quality is limited. Here in Clevelands suburbs everything is full of these -- if I would have time and patience I could obtain more. Being rather huge, fox squirrels are not particulary shy animals... Anyway, if you want the other fence pictures (or a big variant of the one in Wikipedia), you can send me an email (via Wikipedia). They are a couple of megabytes, so we may choose another transaction method than via email.

I may at some time produce an enhanced version of the Wikipedia picture (turned slightly, maybe adjusted background). I also suggested to use it for squirrel (see talk), since the current photo there appears a little blurry. --Markus Krötzsch 04:08, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

de: webkoch

Hallo Markus, gut, dass Du "unterschrieben" hast :-) Hab Dir wg. webkoch hier geantwortet. Bin selbst auf en nur selten unterwegs. Kannst ja nochmal was kurz auf die de-Disk.seite schreiben, dann kann sie anschließend geleert oder thematisch verschoben werden. Guten Gruß Bdk 04:37, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, 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:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

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:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

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)

New Mathematics Wikiportal

I noticed you've done some work on Mathematics articles. I wanted to point out to you the new Mathematics Wikiportal- more specifically, to the Mathematics Collaboration of the Week page. I'm looking for any math-related stubs or non-existant articles that you would like to see on Wikipedia. Additionally, I wondered if you'd be willing to help out on some of the Collaboration of the Week pages.

I encourage you to vote on the current Collaboration of the Week, because I'm very interested in which articles you think need to be written or added to, and because I understand that I cannot do the enormous amount of work required on some of the Math stubs alone. I'm asking for your help, and also your critiques on the way the portal is set up.

Please direct all comments to my user-talk page, the Math Wikiportal talk page, or the Math Collaboration of the Week talk page. Thanks a lot for your support! ral315 02:54, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

Very nice. I will check this when I have time for Wikipedia again (the past months have been very tighly scheduled). Should be very soon. --Markus Krötzsch

The monotonicity article

Hi Markus. I've written some comments and a proposal at Talk:monotonicity. I'd be interested in your thoughts. Paul August ☎ 17:02, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

Mathematics project Participants List

Hi Markus, after some discussion here, I've converted the "WikiProject Mathematics Participants List" into a table. It is now alphabetical, includes links to the participant's talk page and contribution list, and has a field for "Areas of Interest". I'm letting you know so you can update your entry if you want.

Paul August ☎ 22:16, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

P.S. You may have noticed that I have now made monotonicity into a redirect to Monotonic function ;-)

Semilattice

Hi Markus. Greetings from CWI. One other person (user ???) and I puzzled over a couple things in this page. Could you kindly take a look. I initiated the first question, and the other person initiated the second question.

Thanks Vonkje 22:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Copy-and-paste move

Hello. In [[1]], you did a copy-and-paste move rather than using the move button. Consequently the edit history was broken up. I have no idea how to fix this, but if you do, could you take care of it? Thanks. Michael Hardy 21:40, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Hypercube_cubes.png listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Hypercube_cubes.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Selket ^Talk 18:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for converting it into SVG. You can of course delete the old version. --Markus Krötzsch 17:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Semantic Wikipedia, when?

Do you have any news about Wikipedia using Semantic Mediawiki? Are there any plans or roadmaps? It seems that related pages are not being updated for quite some time. Thanks. -- þħɥʂıɕıʄʈ^ʝɘɖı 05:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The installation of extensions on Wikipedia is nothing that I am in a position to make roadmaps about. However, SMW has been very actively developed last year, and the first stable release SMW1.0 has just been released. We did not wish to propmote the upgrade of Wikipedia before that. Most of the "Semantic MediaWiki" extension pages on Wikipedia servers have not been created by myself, and I would really like people to keep them up-to-date if they go and create/extend them in the first place. The authorative source on SMW development is http://semantic-mediawiki.org and (most up-to-date) our mailing lists (see sourceforge for public archives and subscription). --Markus Krötzsch 15:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Impi Linux

A tag has been placed on Impi Linux, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Impi Linux and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Equipoisenow (talk) 22:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
