User:Andre Engels
I am Dutch, and by profession mathematician and theoretical computer scientist (got my Ph.D. in computer science in May 2001), and currently working at the university of Koblenz. I have been helping with Wikipedia since March 2001, one of my first articles was Netherlands/history, which gained me some acclaim.
I think I can help Wikipedia on a range of subjects, such as mathematics and history. See also Pages for a detailed overview.
Look at my user page for how to improve wikipedia. Its so necessary. Help me bring this idea to the developer's list hfastedge
Jij hebt overduidelijk hardstikke veel tijd
ik zit van mijn werktijd te snoepen - Mathijs
Don't think I've welcomed you yet, so, welcome, Andre! Great work. --LMS
For my pride, and maybe also a bit for your curiosity, I am keeping a list of pages I created at Pages
For God's sake, DON"T summarily delete stuff from the September 11 pages. --The Cunctator
Although I marginally agree with the deletion of the New York Times / page I do think that this item should have been left on the vote for deletion page for more than a few hours. It is standard procedure to use the deletion page to review requests for deletion -- that requires time. --mav
Many thanks, Andre! But is it not still too big? There is another photo called 'Corn Dolly Exhibition' which is also enormous. Any chance you could do that one, too? Next question: How can I do this at home before I upload photos? I never have that problem when I upload stuff onto my photo website.... Thanks again, User:Renata
These are spectacularly bad moves. Please revert changes: There are any number of pubs called the Dolphin. Also there are a number of places and things referred to regarding the Prospect of Whitby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! user:sjc
If you prefer to move them back, then do so, but at least use correct syntax - that is, no comma before the bracket. Also, I personally am of the opinion that disambiguation is done when necessary only, that is, when encyclopedia articles on other subjects are either already existing or very likely to be written. I don't think such is the case here.Andre Engels
OK< the comma was slack, just v. tired. I prefer to pre-emptively disambiguate, saves an awful lot of work later on. Trust me, I've been there. user:sjc
Dr. Engels: please review the criteria for deletion; namely the policy of not deleting page titles that may become valid entries. If you disagree with the policy, you should change the stated policy instead of violating it. Note that the current policy is the result of discussion of various points (some of which may have changed, because they were based partially on features of the software which may have changed). That is not to say that it can't be changed, but that there was serious consideration in coming up with the policy. The Cunctator
Ooof! Thanks for catching my renaming gaffe! Much appreciated. Also, just in general, your work here is greatly appreciated - the perennial delete/don't delete stubs argument shouldn't overshadow that! :) -- April
Have you been away? I don't seem to have noticed your name till recently. I think you may be the ideal person to sort out the Netherlands monarchy. See User talk:J Hofmann Kemp. At the moment, the entries aren't in keeping with wikipedia naming conventions, but I don't know enough about the Netherlands to know whether, for example, your present queen's title is "Beatrix of the Netherlands" or "Beatrix I of the Netherlands" or something else. I wonder if you'd like to have a look at it. --Deb
- I have not been away, but came very little between November 2001 to June 2002. As for Beatrix: As I argue at the place where you led me - I would prefer "Queen Beatrix", but have no problem accepting "Beatrix of the Netherlands" either. All other proposals are clearly inferior to these two, in my opinion.
Hi Andre -- could you please do me a favor and stay off the Carolingian redirects for a while? i'm fighting a losing battle with what now appear to be two French Helgas, and the numbering they want to use isn't necessarily right -- it only works if you say that the Carolingians were only French. I'm trying to get things fixed, but I just found three different entries for one person (one of the carlomans) two of which were rediected to empty articles! Thanks! J Hofmann Kemp
Would you restore the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack/World economic effects links, please? Thanks! The Cunctator
Many thanks for your efforts, Andre! It was a shock to see how enormous the images were. I never have that kind of trouble when I upload them onto my photo website..... The craft pictures don't seem too bad, size-wise - or what do you feel? User:Renata
André, I'd be interested to hear your opinion on my template proposal for the Dutch provinces, presented in Talk:North Brabant. Jeronimo
