Emanuel Lasker
Thanks for your message on my Talk page. If you have a copy of the book, please incorporate content based on it into the Emanuel Lasker article - but with care, as apparently Hannak more often than not sacrificed faithfulness to historical evidence and appropriate criticism for the sake of enthusiasm and adoration.

Verifiability
In the first place, I haven't started a "fuss". I started a discussion. In the second place, ten seconds of reading WP:Burden might enlighten you to the fact that I'm not obligated to verify material. The person adding it is. Nightscream (talk) 13:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Nach der unberechtigt erteilten Sperre: Dann halt nicht
Nach der gegen mich erteilten Sperre nur wegen einer harmlosen Bemerkung gegen Merdia lib bitte ich um unbeschränkte Sperre meines Kontos in der deutschen Wikipedia mit Hinzufügung des Bausteins "Der Benutzer ist auf eigenen Wunsch nicht mehr in der Wikipedia tätig." Kein Danke. --Abfall-Reiniger (talk) 05:04, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Wide of the mark
I get 145 million hits on google, versus 23 million for "wide off the mark", which I do not believe is idiomatic. "Way off the mark" is idiomatic, though. Tony (talk) 15:21, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at German Wikipedia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

- Did you warn yourself, too? :-) Anyway, you will not succeed in getting this crap into the article. Have a nice day. Stefan64 (talk) 14:08, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
I saw your request to have this person blocked; another administrator already warned them so I did not get involved. I did check on a few things, though
- This person also has unused Ruckearly accounts in on commons, de:wikipedia: [1]. *Thomas7 has accounts on many wikis: [2]
- Blocked en:wikipedia sockpuppet Wischpömps has blocked accounts here and on de:wikipedia plus an unused account on commons: [3].
- Rechtmöglich has made similar edits but I do not read German so I'm not sure what's going on; the same account is blocked on de.wikipedia
- I wonder if some of the recent editors on User talk:Widescreen are also related.

- First of all, you should consider to protect his new target, User:Sue Gardner. This guy is known to be quite stubborn. Greetings Stefan64 (talk) 01:12, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
English translation of Ting Chen's statement
Hi Stefan, FYI, I posted a translation of Ting's statement here: [4]. I'd post a link to it to Jimbo's talk page, but unfortunately ...
Google Translate does get some things badly wrong: in particular, it forgets to translate the word "nicht". So for example, in the second sentence, it says, "I read the whole thread here", while Ting said, "Ich habe den ganzen Thread hier nicht durchgelesen". Ting: "hatte Jimmy den Präsidenten von Kasachstan als Diktator bezeichnet und auch gesagt, dass er ihn nicht treffen möchtet." Google Translate: "Jimmy had called the President of Kazakhstan as a dictator, and also said that he would like to meet him." Etc. --Andreas JN466 15:05, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip off on the Kurier article
- I found it very helpful and increased my knowledge of the issues in K, and the attitudes of a certain editor. I see nothing sinister about it, it is just the inevitable faltering steps of WP in new and politically ambiguous enviroments. If we are to spread, such confusions are inevitable. Wales is not a politician. But he does have a record in speaking openly against tyranny. Here we may clash against WP Editors who hold some conspiracy weltenschung. I apologise, my Deutsch is terrible :( Thanks again. Greetings from Irondome talk) 03:42, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
