User talk:Jeanpol~enwiki

This is my talk-page. If somebody wants to ask some questions, that a good location for it.--Jeanpol 16:21, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I answered on your German user page.--Fenice 11:37, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Me too...--Jeanpol 12:32, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rules

There are no rules on Wikipedia that say that you cannot write an article about yourself, if you are notable. I have never seen such a guideline, anyway, and I know of others who have written articles about themselves. If these guidelines do exist, they can be ignored. There is only one real rule on WP: Ignore all rules. This wikipedia is currently in a stage where instruction creep starts to develop and become a problem. --Fenice 20:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Joachim Grzega

A tag has been placed on Joachim Grzega, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pfainuk talk 17:03, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll try to improve the assertion of the subjects notability--Jeanpol 16:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Just writing this to ensure there's no confusion: after I put the speedy delete template up (and posted here), User:Angr changed it to a prod as he felt that some notability was asserted (but that this was not necessarily sufficient to pass WP:PROF, our notability guideline for academics). You've got two days before it expires - so you've got more time to improve it than you would have done with the speedy delete template.

I'm not sure how much experience you have of these things - potentially not much from a quick check of your edit history - so I'll spell it out (and you'll have to excuse me if you already know this): you may contest a prod by removing the template from the article, in which case if we still feel that Mr. Grzega does not meet WP:PROF (and that the article should be deleted), we have to take it to WP:AFD.

I suggest that if you do decide to remove the prod template, you improve the article to make the claim of notability a bit clearer - as was apparent from my tagging to speedy delete, I was not clear that notability was asserted at all. Pfainuk talk 16:51, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for explaining me how to deal with Wikipedia. I don't have a lot of contributions in the English Wikipedia, but very numerous in the German one. Anyway, I load up some arguments in favor of Grzegas notability.--Jeanpol 10:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

redirect?

The article Learning by teaching is existing. But this method (very bright used in Germany) has an other name: LdL or LDL. How could I create the item LdL or LDL, redirecting on Learning by teaching?--Jeanpol (talk) 06:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To create a redirect, just create the article LdL with the content "#REDIRECT Learning by teaching" (without quotes). However, LDL already exists as a redirect to Low density lipoprotein, so in this case you would want to disambiguate - probably by editing Low density lipoprotein and adding a hatnote that says "LDL may also refer to Learning by teaching" or something similar. Confusing Manifestation(Say hi!) 06:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment LDL already ridirects to Low density lipoprotein. You will need to add a hatnote as mentioned above or modify the redirect page here [1] into a disambiguation WP:DAB also include the page you want. But please read WP:REDIR and WP:DAB before doing so. Thank you. --Kudret abi^Talk 06:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But is LdL used in English for this method? If so, what does it stand for? --Orange Mike | Talk 06:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@Orangemike: Thank you for your answer. LdL ist the German shortcut for "Lernen durch Lehren" (= Learning by teaching). But by now LdL seams to be used in English too, because of the fact that this method is broad implemented in Germany and expanding in other countries. So I yesterday get a mail in English from a university in Philipines asking for materials about LdL. That's the reason why I'm looking for the item LdL in the English wikipedia.

A quick google search suggests that LDL usually means Low density lipoprotein. I'd suggest adding {{redirect|LDL}} to the top of Low density lipoprotein. That will create a note saying something like "LDL redirects here. For other meanings, see LDL (disambiguation)." I'd do it myself, except someone needs to create the disambig page.

Thank you very much!--Jeanpol (talk) 11:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunaltely I was not very successful creating a page "Disambiguation". Sorry for having disturbed!--Jeanpol (talk) 15:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@Ben Aveling: now I have managed it. Thanks a lot!--Jeanpol (talk) 16:25, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for comment

I am sorely troubled by the articles Jean-Pol Martin and Learning by teaching. These articles (and others) have been placed in WP by Dr. Martin himself, under the name User:Jeanpol, thus violating some basic precepts of WP. These articles seem to be linked to each other in the "See also" section. There has already been some comment about these articles, but it seems to have lapsed, and meanwhile they continue to exist. Could you kindly take a look and suggest a course of action? Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to be troubled. If "Learning by teaching" is an useful and wellknowed method, it doesn't matter if I write an article about this topic. If not, you can ask an admin to delete. So wikipedia will be poorer on the didactic-domain. Anyway: the article was not created by me (please look at the history).--Jeanpol (talk) 10:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jeanpol. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jeanpol~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
