Hallo Ordercrazy!
Die von dir angelegte Seite Mick Schnelle wurde zum Löschen vorgeschlagen. Gemäß den Löschregeln wird über die Löschung mindestens sieben Tage diskutiert und danach entschieden.
Du bist herzlich eingeladen, dich an der Löschdiskussion zu beteiligen. Wenn du möchtest, dass der Artikel behalten wird, kannst du dort die Argumente, die für eine Löschung sprechen, entkräften, indem du dich beispielsweise zur enzyklopädischen Relevanz des Artikels äußerst. Du kannst auch während der Löschdiskussion Artikelverbesserungen vornehmen, die die Relevanz besser erkennen lassen und die Mindestqualität sichern.
Da bei Wikipedia jeder Löschanträge stellen darf, sind manche Löschanträge auch offensichtlich unbegründet; solche Anträge kannst du ignorieren.
Vielleicht fühlst du dich durch den Löschantrag vor den Kopf gestoßen, weil durch den Antrag die Arbeit, die du in den Artikel gesteckt hast, nicht gewürdigt wird. Sei tapfer und bleibe dennoch freundlich. Der andere meint es vermutlich auch gut.
Grüße, Xqbot (Diskussion) 20:49, 28. Jul. 2022 (CEST) (Diese Nachricht wurde automatisch durch einen Bot erstellt. Wenn du zukünftig von diesem Bot nicht mehr über Löschanträge informiert werden möchtest, trag dich hier ein.)
Verrückte Ordnung
Hallo Ordercrazy, "order" heisst im Englischen ja nicht nur "Bestellung", sondern auch "Ordnung" ;-) - und um der lieben Ordnung willen möchte ich um etwas bitten: Du hast ein Foto für den Artikel Mick Schnelle besorgt und offenbar die Genehmigung seines Bruders Martin dafür erhalten. Das ist wunderbar und ich danke für die Mühe. Aber die Beschreibung auf Commons ist verwirrend: Du verlinkst dort den Urheber Martin Schnelle mit deinem Benutzernamen, was auf Commons normalerweise als "der bin ich" zu lesen ist - bist du aber ausweislich deiner Benutzerseite ja offenbar nicht. Könntest du vielleicht doch noch der üblichen Freigabe-Prozedur folgen und den Bruder, wenn er der Rechteinhaber ist, eine Bildfreigabe senden lassen und die Bildbeschreibung anpassen? Das muss nicht sofort sein, ich würde ihn in diesen Tagen der Trauer auch nicht unnötig behelligen wollen, aber vielleicht noch irgendwann in diesem Jahr? Irgendwann kommt auf Commons sonst bestimmt jemand, der findet, es gehe bei diesem Bild nicht mit rechten Dingen zu, und einen Löschantrag stellt... Gestumblindi 22:13, 29. Jul. 2022 (CEST)
- [Ticket#2022080910007626]. Hab vielen Dank für deinen freundlichen Ton hier! Ich bin das nicht mehr gewohnt! --Ordercrazy (Diskussion) 16:11, 9. Aug. 2022 (CEST)
- Es scheint mit der Freigabe leider nicht geklappt zu haben? Schade. Siehst du vielleicht noch eine Möglichkeit? Wäre ja schon schön, ein Bild von ihm zu haben. Gestumblindi 12:39, 17. Sep. 2022 (CEST)

The primary goal of this session is to generate as many contributor and publisher items as we can in advance of the two following sessions which have to do with batch editing -- we want enough to make a good batch! We will review how to add items, but then reserve the bulk of the session for open editing, kind of like a mini-editathon! Naturally, participants can ask questions and share thoughts at any point during the editing! You are, as always, welcome to bring your own data to work on.

- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Wikidata:Wwwyzzerdd got an update where it now will try to predict good statements to add to Wikidata from Wikipedia articles.
- Writing SPARQL queries can be very challenging. You can find inspiration by browsing and searching in this dataset of 2,400 queries collected from Wikidata. (source)
- The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link "Naissances du jour". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page w:fr:Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.
- Wikidata now has more than 100,000,000 items! Exactly which item was the 100 millionth is unknown as of writing, but there are some clues for anyone who wants to dig into it.
