Falsches Bild Monthey VS

Soeben habe ich festgestellt, dass Du unter dem Eintrag über Monthey (VS) ein falsches Bild eingestellt hast. Das Bild zeigt nicht Monthey, da Monthey mehrheitlich in der Rhone-Ebene liegt und die Kirche, gut versteckt inmitten von Häusern, im alten Dorfkern liegt. Ich habe Monthey am vergangenen Donnerstag für wikimedia intensiv fotografiert. Du kennst mich indirekt, weil Du im Artikel über Stans (mein Heimatort) Fotos von mir übernommen hast, wofür ich Dir danke.

simon marriott

hi I see I haven't done a good job on my refs for the simon marriott page (its my first attempt) He is a member of the royal society of art, has a published book which is available on amazon and has been a recipient of the Florence trust residency (a fairly prestigious award) so these are the refs I wanted/thought would make him an acceptable candidate for an article. His "the Society for Curious Thought" already appears on wiki any advice gratefully received - andrew Yeltep (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Creation of article - Mu sigma

Hi, I tried to create a page on Mu sigma. This is a pure play analytics company with high growth rate. This company was in inc list of fastest growing companies two years consecutively as well as ranked as No.1 KPO organization as per Data monitor. Most of the references are independent, reliable, published sources like bloomberg, wall street journal, Data monitor.

It will be very helpful for me if you provide the specific reason for declining the addition, such that I can improve the article by incorporating them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Menotmeterm6 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

World Heritage in Western Europe

Hey, thanks a lot for helping with the article; I don't have nearly enough time to complete it, as you can see. However, I really hope you weren't planning on keeping the copyvios in the description boxes, because I find it's much harder to formulate into our own words based on that small bit of text than if we were to go off of the original text. Then again, if you were just copy-pasting, that's a horrible idea and we'd have to take it down. _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 03:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I was following the what was being done on other world heritage site pages, see List of World Heritage Sites in Western Europe and List of World Heritage Sites in Northern and Central Asia among others, so maybe it needs to be discussed at the Wikiproject. Tobyc75 (talk) 03:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

User:Bamse is capable of drafting his own quality lists (see: List of World Heritage Sites in the Americas), so I'm assuming that he's using those as placeholders for now. If you want to do that it's fine too, but I just wanted to make sure you weren't just blatantly copy-pasting material from the UNESCO site. _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 03:55, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

On a sidenote, we should probably stay consistent with the Location and Area columns throughout the article: I didn't include the buffer zone, nor did I include the Coordinates like Bamse's articles, because I'm following what worked for List of World Heritage Sites in Africa. But you made some damn good progress since I left off...

Here's a template I was using for the article (hidden in comments): _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 04:11, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

But on the Asia lists, eastern Europe, northern Europe and southern Europe both the buffer zone and the coords are there. Plus by including the coords, the GeoGroupTemplate allows you to plot the points on maps, which I think looks really great. Tobyc75 (talk) 14:22, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

As long as you keep it consistent and the guys at WP:FLC don't complain about it, I'm not one to complain. _EricLeb⁰¹ (Page | Talk) 14:27, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Re: This Wicked Tongue

Hey Toby, thanks for re-assessing & creating the article on This Wicked Tongue. I realize that I could have created the article, as I did with Nancy Zhou and Hugo Guinness, but I am not familiar with how AFC works. I wanted to see the full process, and also a second opinion on whether the article should be created. I think you do a move to make the articles, so the attribution for the others is probably wrong... There are probably other clean up type things you do in AFC after creating an article.  The Steve  21:52, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Hah, I meant for the two I created NOT through the project. I used the rejected AFC submissions as sources.  The Steve  22:05, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Towns

Hello Tobyc75, thank you for your message. I think it's confusing that these towns are in the category. Neither in the French nor in the German version these towns are listed in the category. For example, in Montreux there are several cultural properties of national significance (class A), that does not mean the Montreux city is also in the list of cultural propertis as a whole.

• I just checked the official file here.Effectively, some towns and villages are also listed, but they are marked by ISOS, according to the 1981 list of Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.I think it's necessary to define a new particular category for them, instead of putting all of them with the other cultural "properties".Dirrival (talk) 20:03, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
• I agree, what I mean is to create a sub-category inside the category to put all these villages and towns, in order to show their particularity. Thus, readers can find them in the same category, and at the same time, they can also know the difference of their status compared to the other properties in the list.Dirrival (talk) 20:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
• I think it's not necessary to put all the municipalities with a cultural property in the main category, because that change the definition of the cultural property. With this logic, one can also propose to add the pages of the hamlets, districts and even cities with cultural properties into the category, without limit. If readers want to check which municipalities have cultural properties, they can directly consult the full list, where all related municipalities are clearly listed. Regarding the ISOS villages and towns, either we can put them together with the other properties as before, or can we create a sub-category. Dirrival (talk) 16:50, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Fernand Mousseau

Hi, Thanks for reviewing my article, however I am not satisfied with the response. Receiving the Legion of Honour (Knight) is a faily significant award, on of the highest from the French Government. Fernand Mousseau is a fairly well known person in the local community.

Perhaps this page could be submitted as a stub? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dennisgiguere (talk • contribs) 15:18, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Dennisgiguere, thanks for the comment. The Legion of Honour is enough to meet the notability requirements. Unfortunately when I was looking over the article, that detail was buried in the article. I'd suggest adding a brief mention of the award in the first paragraph of the article. Thanks for your contribution. Tobyc75 (talk) 20:53, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Swiss towns

I would respectfully suggest that your time spent on Template:Infobox Swiss town is not well spent. Why does there need to be a seperate template for Swiss towns? Would it not be easier to use the standard template {{Infobox settlement}}. If that does not work properly, it would be better to work on this template which would then benefit all countries' towns. What do you think? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:38, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

The last time this was discussed, the consensus was that the Infobox Settlement didn't have all the functionality and features of the Infobox Swiss town. The Swiss town box allows automatic updates of population, area and maps as those change. It automatically creates links to the relevant municipal websites and creates categories. Unless the Infobox Settlement can do all of those things easily and correctly, the consensus and my personal feelings are that there is no reason to change.Tobyc75 (talk) 19:49, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Swiss population data

Hallo Tobyc75, ich würde gerne die Einwohnerzahlen der ehemaligen Gemeinden aus den Vorlagen (u. a. hier Template:Swiss populations data CH-BE) nehmen, weil hier nach dem Update das Datum nicht mehr mit den Einwohenrzahlen zusammenpasst und die Zahlen dafür direkt im Artikel eintragen. Sind das alles Zahlen vom 31. Dezember 2008? Grüße --Septembermorgen (talk) 18:45, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, sorry, my written German is pretty poor. I had left the former municipalities in the template to avoid breaking the articles and infobox. You are correct, the dates are no longer correct. I am not sure what would be the best way to fix this problem. If you remove the former municipalities, make sure to check Category:Swiss populations data templates/Failure and enter the population directly into those articles.Tobyc75 (talk) 01:11, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

About good faith factual errors that you introduced to the Donat, Switzerland article

Hi. A little background first; I was browsing trough Romansh speaking municipalities of Switzerland when I come across the Donat article. It states that when it recently merged with other municipalities, the other municipalities names were changed to Romansh because the majority of the population spoke the language. So I got interested because there is really few municipalities that have a majority of Romansh speakers. The article originally stated that as of December 2012 the population was over 7500 people. So it was implied that there was a population of more than 3300 Romansh speakers in a single municipality. That was impresive. So I scroll down to actual tables of habitants by language, and to my astonishment it said that 106 people spoke Romansh, and that it was indeed the majority. I couldn't believe that from 2000 to 2012 there could have been an immigration of over 3000 people over to the remote alpine village. So I checked the official Donat municipality website (which indeed is written in Romansh). I do not speak the language, but I'm a native Spanish speaker, with a good level of French and German, so it wasn't hard to read that the municipality currently has 234 habitants. So then I checked the reference number one, entered the search parameters for permanent residents of the Donat muncipality of the Hinterrhein district, and it returned 209 habitants for 2012. Clearly, somewhere along the line of the history article (hopefully recently) there was a vandal that introduced factual errors. I checked the history and... I found out that the edit that introduced the errors was yours. At first I didn't noticed, it was just a cleanup and an introduction of templates using AWB, seemed legit. And I'm sure that you meant no harm. But the fact is that the introduced community identification number was wrong. The SFOS number for Donat, Switzerland is 3705, and not 3722 as you introduced. 3722 is the SFOS number for Domat (with an M), a municipality in the Imboden district, within the same canton as Donat (with an N), the real subject of the article.

I have not used AWB. I know what it is, but I somehow have never convinced myself about using it. I guess it was AWB that erroneously chosed Domat instead of Donat. But, what I'm trying to say here, is please be careful about the edits YOU make with AWB. Yes, it is the tool that is actually making the edits, but ultimately it is you who is responsible for the edits. I also know that these edits were over 3 years ago, but that is precisely why this is so serious. Because you are a respectable wikipedian, and because it was assumed that edits made with AWB were safe, there was no reliable source checking. I urge you to check the edits you have made that have been suggested by AWB, in order to assure that you have not introduced further good faith factual errors. Thank you very much. Legion fi (talk) 09:17, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Ahm, I hadn't read your talk page before posting this section. I see now that you are involved in the development of the swiss town template, and that after the merger of some municipalities, it has errors. Nonetheless, I think this was not an error created by the mergers, but just a straight error by confusing Donat with Domat. I really think the templates do a GREAT job, and I really thank you for your involvement in them, but what I'm trying to say here, and I must stress it, is that you must be careful when editing with an automated tool. Legion fi (talk) 09:21, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Interesting. Thanks for the catch. Looks like I just read the SFOS number wrong and that propagated and made the population wrong. Tobyc75 (talk) 12:25, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Gruyère district article name

Toby, I saw that you reverted my move of Gruyère District to Gruyère (Swiss district). I did not make that move on a whim, as I indicated in both my edit summary and at Talk:District#Article_naming_consistency. The title as you restored it is awkward in English, especially with district capitalized. In English, the title form of that district would be District of Gruyère. This is an issue I've encountered often on the English Wikipedia in the wake of well-meaning non-native English speakers applying awkward naming conventions to articles. The reason you cite in your edit summary--Every other District article in the country uses this format.--is not a valid basis for maintaining an awkward article title. I wish you'd discussed this with me and/or others first. Eric ^talk 21:04, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Well, the WikiProject settled on using X District for every district in the country, so that was why I reverted your change. Having one out of many articles with a completely different title looks sloppy. If you feel that another form makes sense discuss it with WikiProject Switzerland. I also think that using (Swiss district) is overly precise and conflicts with WP:PRECISION.Tobyc75 (talk) 22:03, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

I agree that Swiss part is probably not necessary; I erred on the side of avoiding future disambiguation title changes. I did not research for any consensus on the X District naming convention once I noticed that it had been unilaterally enacted by the now-blocked and contentious user:Schwyz. But the only discussion of the naming convention I can now find is at Talk:Districts_of_Switzerland#Article_naming, where one user tried to explain to User:TrueColour (the proposer of X District and a suspected sockpuppet of Schwyz) why X District wasn't the right format. I guess I'll post my two cents' worth there and drop a link to it on the project page. Eric ^talk 00:12, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Eh, I have no strong opinion on it. I just like it to be consistent.Tobyc75 (talk) 00:24, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Swiss communes

Hi, I just want to say that despite us disagreeing on the value of Switzerland having its own infobox and the design of it, you're doing fantastic work on going through the communes of Switzerland with quality expansion. It's such important work which I've long been aware of needs doing so keep up the great work, it means a lot to the project. Consistency for me is very important across wikipedia, that's why I'm in favour of infobox settlement, not that I don't value what you've done, and I'm sure the others who support the infobox settlement would agree.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:48, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

A damn shame that that appreciation doesn't extend to respecting Tobyc's work as the primary maintainer of the Swiss Town Infobox, Dr. Blofeld - I find it repulsive when a crowd of third party editors who do jack all on the subject matter try to railroad their model in for the sake of their preferences (over and over, might I add). Standardisation is all fine and dandy, until it upsets the editors actually using the tools. Frankly, the whole attitude on display by the supporters is reminiscent of the implementation of VisualEditor. A pity that we're seeing yet another example of the very attitude that led to last year's infoboxes arbcom case - this time in an area where the boxes themselves are totally uncontroversial.

Frankfurter Judengasse

Hi Toby, Came across the translation, didn't read through the whole, entire thing yet. Although "Schlacht" does mean battle, it also means slaughter. Because (and the German wikipedia page also uses the term Pogrom) these were not battles (which would generally indicate "fair play") as such, but rather pogroms, I can't agree with the translation you used. You stated in parentheses "Jews' Battle". Slaughter (Massacre) of the Jews would be more appropriate.

While it's up to the individual reader to try to discern variable meanings for a single word, I don't think we can rely on an English-only speaker to fully appreciate the need to distinguish the subtlety in meaning as it pertains to this article. It may be taken at face value that it was a battle, and not a slaughter/massacre.

Therefore, I would disagree with your choice of translating Judenschlacht to Battle of the Jews. Slaughter may be substituted with the word "massacre". So, for clarity, I would encourage you to change to Jewish Massacre. I'm not comfortable editing your translation (yet), because I am still very new to the wikipedia community.

Thanks, but I have a question

Thanks for all the help on the Schauenburg Castle articles. I have a simple question though, what happened to this information?
"The castle was built during the 11th century by Duke Berthold II to stop traders trying to evade the tolls of the Rhine River and was expanded during 1200. It has a protective border around the east side and a moat to the west. The castle then came to ruins in 1730. The Schauenburg Castle is maintained and protected because of Emils von Schauenburg (1826-1908)."

I kindly ask you to reconsider the rejection of the article for the following reasons: a) I am wondering why the article about him in German Wikipedia has been approved, but the English, more elaborate and source based version, is being rejected. See the German version here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddhartha_Kaul.

b) As for your comments to the awards: all awards, except for the Princess Asturias Award, have been awarded to Mr Kaul personally, not to the organization. Unfortunately, I could not find a press article or similar source to all of these recognitions, since some of them have been awarded to him more than 20 years ago. I am referring to: Sri Lankan National Honour (bestowed upon Mr Kaul personally for his work in the country), the three honours received in Vietnam (all honours addressed to a single person, not an entire organization), two titles of honour received in Cambodia (special titles of honour bestowed upon a single person). I added further references on the awards, as far as possible.

Thank you very much in advance!

AfC: Swiss_Museum_of_Games

Hi,

Thanks for taking a look at the draft entry for the Swiss Museum of Games. I've updated the article with a couple of additional references. Also, I couldn't help noticing there is an entry on the same museum in the French version of the wikipedia, but there are no references at all supporting the French entry. Is there a greater burden of notability for English language entries?

Districts of Ticino, Districts of Valais

Category:Districts of Ticino, Category:Districts of Valais - the only sets in Category:Districts of Switzerland by canton to use "X (district)" instead of "X District". Would be nice you would rename them. 85.182.87.177 (talk) 13:56, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Can you at least fix the districts Ticino? 77.180.33.153 (talk) 03:19, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Mongol invasion of Bulgaria and Serbia

I see you added a map of Romania. Is there no map of the entire Balkans that could be used for this? To include Montenegro, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania? I couldn't find one. Srnec (talk) 03:17, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Not that I could find either. Also, the text only refers to sites in Romania and Bulgaria. But I only came to the article from [[Category:Location maps with marks outside map and outside parameter not set]] and was only working on the map error, so I'm not sure if there are more sites that could be included.Tobyc75 (talk) 13:52, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Module:Location map/data/USA Boston Metro

Hi! I had to restore the module at Module:Location map/data/USA Boston Metro because trying to call "Boston Metro#USA" on pushpin maps (so United States and Boston Metro pushpins could be shown on the same infoboxes) won't work without something being there.

If you know how to set up redirects in Lua, that would be awesome!

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 08:23, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

WhisperToMe, you're not quite calling the pushpin correctly - see this edit for the correct syntax to call the old module. I've deleted your version as a copy/paste pagemove. Primefac (talk) 12:42, 11 December 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

@Primefac: If one is calling a detailed city map and a metropolitan area map, they need to be bundled together in "City name#Metro Name#Country"? But if there is only one city map, then "City#USA" and "State#USA" should both work? WhisperToMe (talk) 14:00, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

I don't think there's necessarily a "need" to do anything, but yes, if there's only two maps you only need to include those two maps. I'm not sure I understand your question so if I haven't answered it properly let me know. Primefac (talk) 16:21, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Swiss sanatorial architecture

Hi, I have been doing some work on buildings such as Pelerin Palace and Le Mirador Resort & Spa, and I discovered material such as The influence of Good air on architecture. A « Formal Cure » ? The appearance of the Alpine sanatorium in Switzerland, 1880-1914. I was thinking of ways this could be inserted in the article on Architecture of Switzerland. As you have done so much to shape the article, i thought it would be sensible to ask for your thoughts first.Leutha (talk) 15:44, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

I think this information would probably go into a new section about the sanatorium as a specific, local building style, maybe in the section on Vernacular architecture. Some of this information might also fit into Tourism in Switzerland.Tobyc75 (talk) 18:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Riviera, Ticino

I think the recent edits at Template:Swiss area data have caused the error at Riviera, Ticino where the infobox is showing an error for area, total. I'm hoping you know what is needed to fix that, thanks. Johnuniq (talk) 00:06, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Can you please give your imput?

Hello, we are the archivists at Lombard Odier in Geneva and wanted to improve the article relating to the bank, which is quite sub-par. We proposed a new version on the talk page, and the editor who replied to us kindly suggested we see with people from the Wikiproject Switzerland, where your user name is listed (we since also made a first round of improvements and fixed some formatting issues): here is the new draft.

Unfortunately the project's talk page sees little activity, and I'd like to come back to the editor with a strong consensus on the Project Switzerland side - hence the present message.

To be clear, the very same text has been posted in other languages (French, Spanish, German, and Italian), with editors there helpfully pitching in/editing afterwards[2][3] (as you know, German also implements gesichtete Versionen, so this text had to be reviewed by someone before appearing publicly). We're entirely fine with the article living its own life and being edited by anyone, we understand it and actually like the idea that people can research and improve content (we are big readers too!).

So if you have time, would you mind having a look and telling me if you see anyhing of concern, changes to be done, or if you think the new text is ready to go live here as well?

Thanks a lot! Hello at LO (talk) 10:10, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
