Pumpie,

Your last edit of this page duplicated all its text. I have taken the liberty of removing the duplication. Feel free to remove this note. Spacepotato 22:49, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Hey Pumpie, I hope you like the place and choose to stay. (I like your user name :)

Some links that may be of use:

And keep contributing! :) Dysprosia 13:18, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)


Hi Pumpie. Did you take a second look at Prefecture of Elia yet? I made it look like several other country subdivision articles I wrote already. Do you like that design? I am still busy with german districts, thai provinces as well as brazilian states, so it'd be good if you would do more on the greek prefectures. I am only not sure about the english name of that prefecture - I found both spellings Ilia and Elia; do you have the greek spelling (you can add greek letters as well here).
Another note: your new List of Prefectures in Greece and Prefectures of Greece are duplicate article. However most of the links in the second one point to articles about cities or long outdated articles, so it needs quite a bit of work as well. andy 20:25, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)


Hello pumpie, It is helpful to other users if you can write a quick summary for each edit you make. This way we can read your summary instead of search for your changes :) Kingturtle 18:09, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)


I'm just a starter, and I am a kid and a boy genius just like Jimmy Neutron, I am from the Free Universe.

Is there any article about highways in Greece, or dialing or area code listings in Greece, yet?

Do you have a complete listins of highways over there? is there a complete listings about area codes of the world, "geniuses" there?


How are going to update this first names article in order format?


Is there any information about a list of radio stations anywhere? Pumpie 22:45, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Tonight's story is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction if I saw you in heaven would it be the same if I saw you in heaven I must be strong and carry on cause I know I don't belong here in heaven As time goes by you'll come to see That you don't need no one but me Give you everything you need Even get down on my knees Just as long as you believe Be with me and you'll succeed tunnel is just the freight train coming your way......

Brazilian city articles

[edit]

Pumpie, I've noticed that many of the articles on Brazilian cities that you've uploaded have many spelling and punctuation errors. Are you proofreading these? If not, you're creating a lot of work for others who have to clean up after you. Joyous 14:44, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

Your good intentions of translating the German article to include it into the english wikipedia are noted, but it seems like you don't speak any German, so your translation was not much better than Babelfish nonsense translations. Such translations don't help, they only create work for others, so I think you'd better don't continue those. There are still enough topics to be covered for which you can find english sources. andy 19:28, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't see the point in creating the articles on the villages which contain nothing more than just population and district data, that's IMHO not what belongs in a encyclopedia. But anyway, please translate Gemeinde as municipality, Stadt as town, and only Großstadt (i.e. a Stadt with more than 100,000 citizen) as city. andy 22:26, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit]

Hey, a lot of these articles you're importing from other Wikipedias have broken interwiki links: because the English Wikipedia does not use Unicode for article titles, you can't just copy accented symbols into the text and have the Interwiki work. See for example the versions of Großbartloff or Küllstedt before my changes - the de: link is broken. —Stormie 04:43, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

It's a waste of time trying to convince Pumpie, he won't listen anyway. --Voyager ch 11:06, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I didn't know this, I thought it was also convertible on unicode so when a non-unicode link, I thought it would be changed to unicode when surfing into another language. - Pumpie, 13:26 Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
Well, it's not, and I see from e.g. São Paulo Railway that you are still creating new articles with broken interwiki links. Please have some consideration for other editors, and don't just dump stuff in and hope that somebody else will fix it up. —Stormie 01:59, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)

Machine translations

[edit]

If you continue using machine translations, you will inevitably be put on RFC by someone. And I assure you that won't help you get adminship. Please stop it. — David Remahl 16:58, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I totally agree with David. Stop this nonsense! --Voyager ch 18:30, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
How come, I am trying to translate without making any mistakes, How much errors did I do? --Pumpie, 20:08, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
In that sentence, at least four. It should be: 'How come? I am trying to translate without making any mistakes. How many errors did I make?' I don't wish to be mean, and none of us are perfect. But if there are at four errors in 17 words, how many are there likely to be in the many articles you've translated? Jongarrettuk 22:42, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

You now what Jongarrettuk, I am trying to do my best on not making any mistakes on translation, Germany is difficult along with Portuguese but with French and probably Greek, I can translate. I will try to reduce it to zero from four per 17 words. --Pumpie, 22:52, Oct 6. 2004 (UTC)

Anyway, where are you from and how old are you? I can't work it out. Jongarrettuk 22:58, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I know other languages, but I will continue to study tomorrow, anyway, I will try to translate better, since you don't know that many languages, I only know some primary words of other languages, but some latin-based words are easier to translate to English in some language using this (easiest) method. --Pumpie, 23:05, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
D'accord, je vous comprends. Mais où habitez-vous et quel âge avez-vous? Jongarrettuk 23:41, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
No, I was saying that I really know any languages (langues), and since you're not an expert, other experts aren't here. The easiest is less than 100 to 300 kB. Anyways, errors will be fixed, I'll be back tomorrow to find some translational experts, if there's one, this problem will be fixed, if not, another expert, like the one who fixed Boswil will fix every article that is impertectly translated, see ya. --Pumpie, 23:52, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
In most cases, it would be easier for a good translator to translate the original source to English than to try and interpret your machine translation, even if he was allowed to look at the original too. Thus, you're wasting everyone's time adding mangled machine translations. — David Remahl 00:26, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I will slow down and translate articles to English properly, I know a little German, so, a translator like Rhymeless will fix all this problem, I didn't mean to, I thought it was properly, so it became 50% acceptable, I will fix it to acceptable translations (longer than 1000kb) --Pumpie, 20:40, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
Have you checked with Rhymeless that he wants to translate all these articles into English? I appreciate your intentions are good, but you're just creating bad articles until someone chooses to correct them. I'm also concerned at how good (or rather bad) your English is. Unfortunately, at the moment what you're doing is just annoying people and antagonising them. Jongarrettuk 21:12, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Rhymeless does NOT want to translate all these articles into proper English! I didn't mind translating a couple, but translation isn't even what I'm best at. I'm a kid, like you, so I get busy. I might be willing to help you with translation on an article-by-article case, but this isn't the best way to do it, please ask me if you would want help. Please try not to flood en.wiki with machine-translated articles in the future. [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 07:28, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
My English is almost good, I am trying not to annoy anyone, but to fix this problem. --Pumpie, 21:54, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
I though you were a translator, I didn't know, but that's okay, you don't have to translate, there are other translators (not via the machine, humanly) but they are not in the wiki or their favorites, or first-comers --Pumpie, 17:24 8/10/2004 (Oct 10, 2004) (UTC)
Pumpie, please try to understand that a poor first translation is of no help at all to a translator. It is a lot better to start from the source material (i.e. the German wiki) than to try to interpret the mess created by a machine or a non-native translator. DO NOT (!!!) add poor translations to the English Wikipedia under the assumption that someone will clean them up. Find something else to do on the Wiki. — David Remahl 17:40, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
David is absolutely right that there is nothing more horrible, tedious, unrewarding, unpleasant, for a translator (I worked as one for 20+ years) than translation review, especially where the translation is bad. Even when the translation is good, it requires enormous patience, a very fine sense of not injecting one's own POV into the review (over and above the normal sense of NPOV that comes, or ought to come, with being a translator); presented with a horrid translation, I'd tell my clients it would be better — and far cheaper — to just start over again. || Also, a comment: translation is slow; an average figure frequently put forth by translator associations etc. is 3000 words of finished translation a day: that works out to 6 words a minute! At my very best, in a field I was completely used to, as part of a massive project involving repetitive vocabulary and forms, and armed with fast-expanding keystrokes etc., I once hit around 11,000 sustained for a day — which is 23 words a minute. || So now, ad rem. Precisely because there is no way a human translator (or even a team of translators of the size we'd be likely to get here) could churn out these PumperSeiten, I view your machine-translated dumps as valuable: they are for the most part fairly understandable, and there's no shortage of other articles onboard in curious varieties of English; but by many different authors, thus not attracting the attention yours do. The net effect of this deluge of poor English is (a) to improve coverage; (b) to decrease overall quality, at least of readability. That makes your stuff a very tough call, in terms of the value of the articles themselves; but in terms of administering Wikipedia, you've created a situation calling for a great deal of work: I were voting for an administrator, I'd vote for someone who does not create work, but reduces it. || Towards a solution: (1) I suggest we create a template that you'd incorporate in your articles, which would say something like "Hey we know this is not perfect English, but the info is good. If you want to be involved in fixing it, see --> (2) And the "see" would be a place where people could sign up for distributed copy-editing; I borrow the term from "distributed proofreading" at Gutenberg. Believe it or not, there are people out there — sheer masochism's what I call it — who like fixing things like this: on my own (large) website I get quite a few people who show up out of the blue and plow thru multi-volume books for me]. We could provide a place for people who enjoy this sort of stuff: an automatically-generated Category page of all the PumperSeiten.Bill 17:35, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Interesting and constructive idea. I created the following:
This article is a rough translation of an article in German.
It may have been generated by a computer or by a translator with limited proficiency in English or the original language. Feel free to enhance the translation. For reference, the original article may appear under "German" in the "other languages" list.


For the above, I used {{CrudeTranslation|German}} {{RoughTranslation|German}}. What do you think? It places articles in Category:Crude translations Category:Rough translations, which is a subcat of Category:Cleanup. Perhaps we could have several Crude Rough translations categories for different languages. (By the way, Bill, I'm impressed by your attention to detail in your message above, I mean all the no-break-spaces. Very pedantic, cool and impressive ;-) — David Remahl 17:55, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
David — flatteries aside, thank you — your template has my vote, with one slight change, rough for the somewhat POV crude. — Bill 18:05, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Done. — David Remahl 18:12, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Alert

[edit]

Hi Pumpie, sorry for my English: I'm Italian. You are editing many towns of Italy with a mistake: Regions of Germany is uncorrect. You mean Regions of Italy I suppose. By --Archenzo >> talk 20:33, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Now they are OK! By --Archenzo (Talk) 12:06, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Please stop

[edit]

Pumpie, would you PLEASE stop translating my German articles with Babelfish? The junk you're producing is just horrible. In future, I will put EVERY article on "Votes for deletion". Maybe you will learn something. But I really doubt this. You just don't seem to understand. :-(
--Voyager ch 19:24, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I will not translate any more articles into English with Babelfish, Voyager ch, I will translate new articles without Babelfish or grammatic errors. -Pumpie, 20:50, 10/11/2004 (UTC)
So that means you won't translate anything at all in future. I doubt that your knowledge of the German language is sufficient for translating my shopping list. Do us a favour and stop bothering us. --Voyager ch 21:14, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Brazilian municipalities

[edit]

I see you've added a couple of the towns that I recategorised as Category:São Paulo state back to Category:Brazil. Are these towns of special importance, or is it your opinion that all towns in Brazil should be added to the top level category? Since there are so many of them, I think other articles in the category will get lost, and it's better to have them just in the state category. Alternatively, they could go into Category:Cities in Brazil, although I would prefer to see only the major cities (perhaps, those over 100,000 people) go into that category (as well as into the appropriate state category).-gadfium 22:37, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

For the categories, Wikipedia just got started! As we input the thousands of places — I'm a firm believer in what Pumpie is doing, if not keen on the machine translation — there's going to be categories for the individual states of Brazil; the towns should be inserted into cats by state (Minas Gerais, etc.). Other parts of Wikipedia have found it useful to distinguish between Cities and Towns, the cut-off being 100,000; when I found that, it seemed quite good to me, so in my Categorization of Category:Italy and elsewhere I've been using that, if that helps. — Bill 19:58, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Uh, Pumpie...I hate to be a pickle, but your Moji das Cruzes article is utterly incomprehensible. I know you mean well, but these Babelfish translations just don't make any sense. Please consider contributing in other ways, perhaps to your native language Wikipedia. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 18:30, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Also, I have to agree with Gadfium. Wikipedia really isn't the world's geographic text dumping site. OK? Feel free to add articles, but please do more than just copy the geographic positions and paste them here. Tell the reader more about these towns. - Lucky 6.9 18:41, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Pumpie, please stop with the text dumps. - Lucky 6.9 19:08, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
For the machine translation, see the discussion above; there is now a template: {{RoughTranslation|insert language here}}; I just inserted one in Moji das Cruzes. The template categorizes these articles to suitable stub categories, I'm told (although I didn't check). Pumpie, you should consider inserting them yourself as part of your standard procedure: it would save others a lot of trouble! — Bill 19:58, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Look, lots of us have asked you not to use this site as a text dump for geographical information about Brazilian municipalities that are readily available on other websites. - Lucky 6.9 20:02, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • OK, you've left me no choice. I've posted your user name on the "requests for comment" page.  :^( Apparently, several others have left comments dating back to last February on your behavior as well. You've refused to answer and when you do, it's usually some bizarre statement and not a straight answer. You continue to post information that belongs in much larger articles...and then you post them as stubs in need of expansion! None of us are trying to be mean. Heaven knows we need good, dedicated and prolific writers but what you're doing is just wrong. PLEASE contribute in other ways. No one's chasing you off. OK? - Lucky 6.9 20:30, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Pumpie, let's try this once more. You are creating a TON of work for others to clean up. - Lucky 6.9 03:42, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Regretfully, I'm adding my voice to Lucky's. While I still think these geographical dumps are useful, you're showing no sign of wanting to spare other people extra work. — Bill 08:45, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm a genius, I am an expert, I will fix this solution. Pumpie 01:15, 10/28/2004 (UTC)
What exactly are you going to fix? You never listened when people complained about your behavior. Plop 08:09, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • My behavior isn't bad at all to about 90% of the articles. I am trying to improve my behavior. I am intelligent, I am brilliant, I have a great IQ level and I will try to continue without any interruptions someday and actually, I have listened. Pumpie, 17:25 10/28/2004 (UTC)

Quality, not quantity

[edit]
  • Let me add my two cents. Pumpie, while I understand what you're trying to do, I believe that Wikipedia is more about quality than quantity (help me guys, if I'm wrong). Look at most people's contributions. Most of the editing done is minor and simply reorganizing or cleaning up. Don't try just adding stuff because anybody can do that (it's quite amazing how much there is out there really). Take what you've added and clean it up. It's the organization that's the most important. If you're simply copying machine translations over, I suggest working in the sandbox. You should probably copy and paste text in there, and then try to convert the non-readable characters. You seem like a bright guy, as you're apt to telling us =), so maybe you can make a bot or something that will convert these characters if there's some sort of pattern to them. If you can do that, that's quite impressive and lots of people will be very happy with you. Also, telling people that you will fix it later (or get someone else to fix it later) IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE ANSWER. When people go to these site NOW, it's a mess and that's all that matters at this point. If you really want to become an administrator eventually, you should focus on creating a few pages that are detailed and clean. Personally, do you really think it looks good to see that all your contributions require MASSIVE editing? Look, it's better to add a few bit of very good work than to add tons of poor work. I've probably rambled a bit too much, so I'll wait to hear back from you, or from others. Ricky81682 21:31, Oct 31, 2004 (UTC)
[edit]

Why are you piping commune to Communes of the Calvados département in articles like Puteaux and Courbevoie? The correct link would be Commune in France, even if the area is in the Calvados department, which those two are not. —No-One Jones (m) 02:09, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Why do you persist? Please stop linking commune to Communes of the Calvados département: it is a misleading and erroneous link. —No-One Jones (m) 01:20, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Oops, I was a little nervous, I will correct them to their correct places. Pumpie, 16:25 (UTC)


Hi, Pumpie! I really appreciate the fact that you are working on a lot of articles, and especially on many communes articles. But really, you sometimes make me nervous: most of your contributions need serious cleanup, and sometimes, I am wondering if it would not be better to start an article from scratch rather than cleaning up what you have written. In any case, I think you can do a good job, but please, please, pay more attention to what you are doing. Thanks and cheers! olivier 02:16, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)

More quantity versus quality

[edit]

Pumpie, what in heaven's name are you doing now? You're now making taxoboxes that take up a HUGE amount of server space and the "articles" that accompany them are no more than a single sentence. You're already the talk of the RfC page. Let's try this once more, my friend: This is not your personal site. Anything you add is the property of the community and the site's owners. These are the nice people who pay for server space. As such, these nice folks expect a return on their investment. The fact you're contributing is wonderful. The fact that your contributions are only semi-formed and server-intensive is not. Please. If you're going to continue to add these geographic stubs, the least you can do is say a bit more about them. Deal? Friends? Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 21:43, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

To be fair: Surely the server space used is very much negligible....But it may be true that he is not crediting the original authors of the information that he translates to English. — David Remahl 00:24, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'll buy that. He's got to be getting this info from somewhere. True, the server space is negligible but he's really taking up a lot in comparison to what he was originally doing. - Lucky 6.9 01:26, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Incidentally

[edit]

Although you do assure us that you are not using babelfish, a lot of the articles you're producing aren't in readable English. Are you a native English speaker? Do you understand German or Itialian? If not, I think you should stop moving over these stubs. Most of them aren't linked by other articles (except for postal codes) and have small populations. We can delay creating them until an article references them, I think. Cool Hand Luke 00:21, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It is linked also to the province of Brescia where there are a list of communes and Category:Towns of Lombardy which goes to Category:Italy. I am not a native English but I speak English and a little of French and Spanish. I am a genius. Pumpie - 9/10/2004, 21:17 (UTC)

Pumpie - where are you from and how old are you? It would be useful to understand where you're from and what motivates you to pump out all these articles despite all the comments raised above. jguk 21:40, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

By whoising the ip addresses he posts from when not logged in, it would appear that he's from Canada. Plop 13:44, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)

It doesn't matter where I am from but I am very brilliant. Pumpie, 10:43, 10/9/2004 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what part of the world where I am from, I am a genius. Pumpie, 16:14, 10/11/2004 (UTC)

Maintenant, je comprends. Il est québécois. jguk 17:55, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No I am not, I am a genius. Pumpie 18:43 11/11/2004 (UTC)

Inuit or some other French-speaking area? jguk 19:20, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I am not from these speaking-areas, where I live has many different languages, but I know French along with other languages and I am still learning those languages. Pumpie, 19:24, 11/11/2004 (UTC)

So where are you from - or more importantly, what is your first language? I'm only asking to see if I can suggest areas where your input into Wikipedia may be more appreciated than what it currently is. You certainly have a lot of enthusiasm - carefully applied you could be an asset to the project. jguk 20:06, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

adminship

[edit]

Hey pumpie, per your request on irc I nominated you again for adminship at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship

Looking better!

[edit]

Yo, Pumpster...the article at Herdecke is looking good! Suggestion: Add a bit more about the points of interest, history and such. Kind of dry without it. Otherwise, great! Nice work. - Lucky 6.9 01:28, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)


Here we go again...

[edit]

You're doing it again. Just when I thought you were finally growing up and contributing something of note to this project along you come and start pasting those geographic substubs.

I don't know what to do short of motioning to have you banned as a vandal. To say that I'm disappointed would be an understatement. - Lucky 6.9 00:03, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I will stop this, I promise and I will not break it. Pumpie, 00:09, 11/18/2004 (UTC)

  • OK, I hope so. Mind you, I'm not looking to have you banned outright even though I've listed you on the vandalism page since I honestly don't know where else to post this concern. I want to help and so do others. By the way, you can save yourself some time by signing your name with four tildes like this: ~~~~ . The system will automatically sign your name and date stamp. Thanks for answering. Really. You're obviously interested in the project but you need to look at other ways to contribute. Please do the right thing. - Lucky 6.9 00:15, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I was not a vandalist, I was that it became a stubber, articles that have information on its coat of arms from Brescian communes are not stubs. - Pumpie 22:43 (UTC)

I will say this in his favour, he has had the honesty to leave all this criticism of himself in place on this page. RHaworth 07:40, 2005 Jan 6 (UTC)

geo-stubs

[edit]

I am contributing to wikipedia since october 2004, but couldn't help noticing that you do seem to create especially geo-stubs with an amazing (also alarming) frequency.... as i don't want to repeat the comments of the others, just one word: STOP!

Do the project honor by honoring ist intentions.

Article Licensing

[edit]

Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...

  1. ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
  2. ...all articles...

using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 most active Wikipedians, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles.

Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

Minor edits

[edit]

Would you mind turning on the "mark edits as minor" flag in your prefs? I noticed that most of your edits are a few characters long, but they're not marked minor. Of course then the opposite also becomes a problem when you forget to turn it off, but c'est la vie. Maury 22:11, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I don't think you should follow Maury's advice here; forgetting to turn it off is worse than not having it on. Lowellian (talk)[[]] 02:25, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)

You moved this page, and then blanked it, removing the redirect. If the redirect is incorrect, you need to list it at Redirects for deletion, not just blank the page. I put the redirect back, as I didn't know any reason for it to be wrong. (I don't know anything about the topic.) Thanks! JesseW 03:02, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC).

I forgot to put that page to redirect, I thought I already did it, Ampelokipoi is not the correct name for a village named Ampelokampos which is the CORRECT name in northern Ilia And for that, apology accepted. Pumpie, 18:45 (UTC).

Ampelokipoi which is not the correct name should be removed. Keep the Ampelokipos page. Pumpie, 18"$7 (UTC)

Hi Pumpie, I noticed you do a lot of work on Greek towns and villages. This week I've created a page for Ierapetra on Crete, but as I don't live in Greece and don't master the Greek language very well, I found most of my information on websites meant for tourists (and in my memory, maybe an even more biased source...). Therefore, the wiki has become a bit biased (too much of a tourist guide...) and lacks a lot of factual information. Maybe you could have a look?... Paul 20:56, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Greece dialing codes

[edit]

I thought that Category:Area codes was looking very messy so I have:

In List of dialing codes in Greece alphabetically and List of dialing codes of Greece numerically you say the TD code is 11. Please define TD code - it's all Greek to me.


Changing the subject entirely, have a look at this picture of Aghia Paraskevi which is in the chapel at Scotino, Kriti. What is the Greek name for those little pieces of tin plate (eyes and a man in this case) which hang beside the ikon? In English, I would call them votive objects or just votives.

Ierapetra II

[edit]

Hi Pumpie,

could you explain to me why you disambiguated the links to Psathi, Myrtos, Anatoli, Ferma and Episkopi on the article Ierapetra? Myrtos (Lasithi), Greece is a redirect to Myrtos, so I don't understand why you created the disambigution. Psathi, Anatoli, Ferma and Episkopi don't even have a page yet, so I don't see why you would want to disambiguate.

Thanks,

Hippalus 07:00, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)

There are other places that have the name Episkopi, one in Eurytania, Anatoli in other parts, Ferma is used in other languages and there are a few more Psathis in Greece. Pumpie, 17:56 (UTC/PMST), Jan 17, 2005

I thought Myrtos was a disambiguation page. It is switched back to Myrtos and other places will be in the Myrtos (disambiguation) page. Pumpie, 17:578 (UTC/PMST), Jan 17, 2005

Test page/France-geo-stub

[edit]

Hi Pumpie, I'm busy working through geo-stubs, sorting them into their correct subcategories, and was surprised to find your test page listed there. Firstly, is it meant to be there? And secondly, if (as it looks) you're making a standard page for French villages, then you're better using {{France-geo-stub}}, as it will put them where they can be found more easily. Grutness|hello? 02:34, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

More on geo-stubs

[edit]

Me again :) I'm astounded at the number of Azores stubs you've been producing lately! Good work! There's now a separate {{Portugal-geo-stub}} for use with Portuguese articles (including the Azores) which you can use. There are about 90 articles so far - many of them yours - which I'm putting that template on! Grutness|hello? 07:35, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I see that this place has three-quarters of a person living there - ie 31.75!!!! Peter Shearan 07:25, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Did you mean to blank the above article? If so and it needs to be deleted could you please apply the {{delete}} tag to it so that it can be dealt with? If not you may need to revert your last edit. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 00:44, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about that, It was a mistake to remove that page, the last edit has been reverted back. Pumpie, 15:29 (UTC/PMST)

MHNARA!

Pumpie, mhnara, WTF??? dude, are you on crack or are you autistic? you keep making empty articles in the greek wikipedia and you keep adding irrelevant information in the en articles? so, proinos kafes kame to patra? so fucking what? dude, stop polluting articles with noise...

not to mention you added antreas mikroutsikos, but you forgot to add his brother, who's 10 times more famous outside of greece? wtf? jesus christ on a segway... Project2501a 10:01, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Relax, that's Pumpie's style. I am working hours and hours correcting the huge mess he did in the articles about French towns. olivier 17:10, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
The fact that it's his style doesn't mean it is acceptable. His articles of Greek towns also need hours of work to be corrected. I think that he has done more bad than good to Wikipedia so far.Jimzoun 21:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Omplos

[edit]

Χαιρετε! I'm editing the Omplos article, but I'm having trouble understanding some of the English. Could you let me have the original Greek, please? many thanks. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:19, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid that you'll have to take it from me — much of it, especially the second part, is impossible to understand. If I don't have some help with it, I'll have to remove some of it to the Talk page and ask for help more generally. Could you explain what you meant, perhaps in Greek? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:29, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm English, but I can manage OK in Greek. The parts that I can't understand include:
and aligning in the middle of the main road linking Ovrya and Paralia
The two rocky ledges and landscapes of other mountains
Your new changes help in one place, but reintroduce grammatical errors in others. It's OK, I'll do the English if you tell me what you wanted to say. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:47, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

OK, I think that I've got pretty well all of it; all that remains is to reorganise the material, which at the moment is somewhat desultory and difficult to gollow. (Please don't change the English, though — your last edit, though helpful in a couple of places, just reintroduced a lot of grammatical mistakes. That's not an attack; I imagine that I'd make even more mistakes if I tried to write an article in Greek.) Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:13, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

If you think that an article marked as a copyvio should not have been, you should explain on the Talk page, and append a note to the entry on the Copyright Violations page. You should never simply remove the notice yourself. I've replace the notice for Skopelos. Please provide evidence for your claim that there's no violation on the Talk page.

Lombardy

[edit]

Hi, just to let you know, I made a series of changes to the infobox for towns in Lombardy (mainly, but also elsewhere). For example "Cigole", I changed the coordinates (West => East) and the region link (Germany =>Italy). I included this when reformatting the coordinates with the coor template. -- User:Docu

Greek names

[edit]

Hi there. I see you edited up a Greek name of a soccer player recently (from memory, Yannis Goumas, though I may be wrong). Is this a general area of expertise from an orthographical POV, a sportological POV, or a language POV? Eitherway, if you have time, could you please look at Category:Greek footballers and see what else you could do in this area? These transliterations come in good use for those of me who can't speak or understand Greek orthography - to my own detriment.

Thank you for your time. Bobo192 20:58, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Madeira

[edit]

Hi Pumpie - I think you're the person who's been stubbing lots of Madeira articles as both Portugal-geo and Africa-geo. I've taken the Africa-geo-stub off a lot of them; when I was going through Azores articles a couple of months back and started putting Africa-geo-stub on them, I was told off for it, as "the Azores are technically part of Portugal and should only be stubbed as Portugal". I suspect that the same is true with Madeira articles. Grutness|hello? 01:18, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Interesting... you respond to my suggestion of stubbing Madeira as Portugal and not Africa by stubbing it as Africa and not Portugal. Any particular reason for being contrary? Grutness|hello? 12:11, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Heads-Up

[edit]

Hi Pumpie, I want to thank you for all the work you've been doing on location articles for Greece. You've added a lot of good information, but you also tend to create some messes sometimes. I'm tinkering with some of the pages you've contributed too, like Argos and Argolis. I'm not deleting your work, but in some cases I am moving some of it to the discussion page while I tinker with table formats, infobox templates etc. I am not trying to destroy what you have done, only to improve its presentation in certain cases. I also have a few suggestions:

  • Don't cite amateur personal homepages or put them as external links except in rare cases where they have info that you can't find anywhere else. Websites don't need to be cited if the info is widely available (postal codes, list of licensed radio stations) and they shouldn't be in external links unless they are truly relevant. (If people want to find the neat travel photos from John Q. Smith's trip to Argos, for instance, they can Google "Argos Pictures" and find it.
  • I'm working on a cities in Greece infobox Template:Infobox Greece based on a similar one for Polish locations - don't use it yet, because it still needs some work. When it's done, try to use that for cities and municipalities. I think we should have a separate one for villages - they usually don't have their own websites, coats of arms etc., so it should b a smaller infobox. I'm going to discuss it with some of the Greek sysops and I'll let you know when we have something.
  • I've also created a standard {{Peripheries of Greece}} and {{Peloponnese}} templates, based on Greek models. If you need them for other prefectures, just let me know and I'll whip them up ASAP (I just swipe them from the Greek Wiki and translate them).
  • Some of the other info that you put in big tables can probably just go in a bulleted list. When it does call for a table, think about putting it in smaller font size so that the table doesn't overwhelm the prose sections.
  • If you have a machine translation that just doesn't sound right in English, contact me or one of the people listed at Category:User el. That way, we can work out any kinks before some gobbledygook gets posted on the page ;)

Keep up the good work! --Jpbrenna 19:14, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

[edit]

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Cherbourg arrondissement

[edit]

Hi there... are see you added a lot of data on the various canton's on the Cherbourg arrondissement. I hope you don't mind, but I've moved it into a seperate article, so as not to overwhelm the main page on the city of Cherbourg-Octeville. It's now at Arrondissement of Cherbourg-Octeville. Some of the data seems a little out dated now though, where did you find it? Any chance it can be updated? Keep up the good work! UkPaolo 22:47, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Pumpie, good work on araxos, but it has its holes. for example, what refugee camp are you talking about? there are no refugee camps next to the village or the airport. How do i know? i serve there. I am from patras. anyway, I plan to move araxos to araxos, greece or araxos, achaia. I'm asking your opinion, since you are the article's creator Project2501a 13:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure what is that camp in the northeast, now I figure it out, it is a training centre.Pumpie, 20:29, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that USED to be 124 Training Wing back in the 1970s, before it moved to Tripoli. Now, it hosts the 284 Advanced Resupply Unit and a scrap yard.

Pumpie, the website info is useless, as the layout is subject to change. i'm going to remove the whole section.

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. Since you've been previously nominated I added an '*' immediately before your name in this list. If for any reason you're NOT interested, my apologies and please remove the '*' (you could entirely remove yourself from the list also, if you'd like). I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:40, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Accuracy of your information.

[edit]

The industrial area is founded in the eastern part, formerly 100 m of the southern terminus of the superhighway, it is now near an interchange? where factories are founded. from Tripoli, Greece

Pumpie, um, how are you so certain of your information? you either live there, or you got some REALLY good maps and you got extremely good topography skills, OR you got access to some satelite imagery. So, which is it? if it's the third option, i want in, too ^_^ Project2501a 19:55, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I saw it on my map atlas in Greece, I visited Tripoli and I also looked at a sign reading the Industrial area near that area and a present-day interchange which was the southernmost terminus is southwest of the entrance, probably connected with a northbound (for Corinth and Athens) access. It's located east of Tripoli. I have looked at the maps and I also have good topography skills. Pumpie, 20:25, 15/4/2005 (UTC).

Avas

[edit]

Hi,

I saw your disambig note on the Avas article. If you (or anyone) write the article on this Greek community, we can make that one the main article and this one can be moved to "Avas Hill", because towns, villages etc. are more significant than a city district. Do you think there'll be an article on this Greek place soon? regards, Alensha 16:44, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It will be Avas, Greece, the disambig pages will be @ Avas (disambiguation) especially subdivisions or neighborhoods to the first on some, may also redirect Avas to "Avas, Budapest, Hungary". Pumpie, 23:44, 20/6/2005 (UTC)


Poll (Macedonian Slav or Macedonian)

[edit]

I hope that this message is of interest to you, if not please accept my apologies. There is a poll in the talk page of the 'Macedonian Slavs' article here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonian_Slavs#The_poll

Some people are lobbying for changing the article's name to Macedonians without any qualifier. As it seems, a number of these people come from the Macedonian/Macedonian Slav wikipedia project. It seemed only fair to attract the attention of people that _possibly_ share or represent a different point of view. Your contributions to the discussion and the poll are welcomed.

Poll ends at 24-6-05.

Provinces of Greece

[edit]

Hi, you contributed to some articles about provinces of Greece, for instance Province of Elis. I'm confused about the status of provinces in Greece. Are they official government entities, or just informal, traditional regions, or were they official, and have they been disbanded some time ago? Markussep 14:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so they still exist then. Do you know if the list on provinces of Greece is accurate? And what other powers/duties do the provinces have, for instance, do they have councils that people can vote for, are they involved in town planning, etc. The article about the provinces should contain that kind of information I think.

That isn't quite what I meant.  :) Some mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging idiot of a vandal took and blanked the page and replaced it with the word, "wookie." The edit summary described the title as "the sound a Wookie makes." Guess that's true if he's a Portuguese wookie. Seriously though, your work has improved about a million percent since you started and it doesn't deserve to have some coward come along and screw it up. If anyone vandalizes one of your articles ever again, you feel free to come to me. I'll be glad to handle the problem for you. Gotta run, but take care and we'll talk again soon. Keep up the fantastic work! - Lucky 6.9 23:48, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Germany Geo stubs

[edit]

Hi Pumpie, I've been editing a lot of the Germany geo stubs you've created. Just thought you should know the format for dates is (for example)

cabo verde municipalities

the municipalities you called former municipalities are, in fact, new municipalities, created (and therefore not supressed) in 2005, as you say when you write the articles... please correct it... --84.90.67.66 21:54, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cape Verde geo-stub

[edit]

Pumpie, Pumpie, Pumpie. You of all people have had enough contact with stub sorting that should know by now that stub templates are only created after debate, and only when there's a genuine need for them. That need is indicated by teh number of stubs there are that can currently take a template... and new templates are only made when that number is over about 60. So why create a Cape Verde geo-stub template when there are only about a dozen Cape Verde stubs? There are loads of countries in Africa alone which haven't yet got separate stubs because they don't have enough stubs, but which all have more stubs that Cape Verde. Please do not create any new stub templates without first going through the formal procedures of proposing them for debate at WP:WSS/P. Grutness...wha? 10:52, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Attica

[edit]

Hi Pumpie, I saw you added the "prefectural sects" part to the Attica article. Is that a translation of Νομαρχιακό Διαμέρισμα? I have been puzzled about the status and subdivisions of Attica. If I understand the Greek ministry of the interior correctly (my Greek is very shaky), Attica is a periphery (Περιφέρεια). It is subdivided into four prefectures (Νομαρχιακή Αυτοδιοίκηση): Athens, Piraeus, West Attica and East Attica. However, some prefectures (Athens, Piraeus, and outside Attica also Drama, Kavala, Xanthi, Evros and Rhodope) are called differently (Νομαρχιακό Διαμέρισμα), and grouped into Νομαρχιακή Αυτοδιοίκηση. If we consider all prefectures to be equal, that means that Attica is a periphery, divided into 4 prefectures. Greece then has 54 prefectures in total. Is this correct? If it is, this should be reflected in the various articles about the subdivisions of Greece. Markussep 12:58, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Greek National Roads

[edit]

I changed all the "Greece Interstate" articles to Greek National Roads. The term Interstate is a specific term for highways built by the US Federal Government, and as such a US-specific term. The name is derived from the Latin inter - between and the word state, because Interstate highways connect the states of the USA. There are no states in Greece, so the word Interstate does not make any sense for Greek roads. No other English-speaking country uses this term, not Canada, not the UK. I find it important that Wikipedia does not give the impression of beeing dominated by the culture of the USA . Andreas 00:39, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cities in Sao Paulo

[edit]

I see you have been creating articles for cities in São Paulo i.e.. Altair, São Paulo. I wondered where exactly you got the information for these articles from? The information seems to differ from that of the Portugese Wiki - and you have added information like rank by population - including Altair, São Paulo which ranks 547... If such a list should be compiled it would be very helpful if you could relate where you have gotten the information from. Regards. Celcius 20:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"I got it from my head"???
Anyway, you had gotten "city" confused with "municipality" and erroneously linked to the wrong list in the process. I have corrected all links now - if you are planning on creating anymore articles about municipalities you should link here from now on. Regards Celcius 03:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit summary

[edit]

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 12% for major edits and 92% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 02:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Pumpie! I noticed your work on and interst in Thessaloniki and wanted to let you know that I nominated the city's article for the Article Improvement Drive. It is very close to reaching Featured Article Status and it deserves that recognition. Please feel free to vote for its candidacy at the AID! --Caponer 01:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you once added some population statistics and other details about the modern village to the Sesklo article ([1]). I'm just trying to clean that article up a bit - needs more separation between the prehistoric and the modern stuff, and generally better sourcing. Could you provide your source for the population data? And, is the commented-out line in the table really meant to indicate that the village is now depopulated, or did you just not find the data for that year? I just wondered why the lead sentence has been saying "was a village" all the time. Thanks, Fut.Perf. 09:51, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amykles population data

[edit]

Allo! I noticed in Amykles that the population data was inconsistent, probably due to a subtraction error. If I read the edit history right, you added that data. Could you come over to Talk:Amykles#Population data to discuss? --Stebulus 23:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese locations

[edit]

Please, the next time you edit a Portuguese parish or municipality, keep a standard. I've been cleaning the articles you created since April (yes, and I haven't finished yet). With due respect, you made the geography of Azores and Madeira a total confusion. Use the infoboxes and categorize them according to the standards (Category:Parishes of Municipality), see Santa Maria de Lamas for a parish stub example or Ovar for a municipality. And avoid confusing districts with municipalities and municipalities with parishes, if you don't know how Portugal is subdivided, please ask me. And don't treat Azores and Madeira like countries, they are not even dependencies, they are part of Portugal, like the mainland. Afonso Silva 18:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ello there Pumpie, since you seem to be the creator of tge Template:Programs, you might want to wish to comment on the future of List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs since the Deletionists definately seem to be on the more victorious side.. Personally, I feel the demise of this would compromise the Sci Fi Channel (United States) article itself and would add a third blank in that very template but that's my viewpoint and would rather like to see what your say is.

Antiparalleogram

[edit]

I notice you created the antiparallelogram article recently. Unfortunately, there are many grammatical mistakes in this article, which make it almost impossible to understand. And I suspect there may be some factual errors as well - for example, are you sure that an antiparallelogram has five sides, not four ? Could you perhaps tidy up this article ? If you are translating from a non-English source, perhaps you can find someone to help you improve the translation. Gandalf61 11:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greek infoboxes

[edit]

Hi, I noticed you've been trying to enter decimal as well as radial (degrees+minutes) coordinates into Greek town infoboxes. That way, you mess up the link to the map sources (kvaleberg.com etc.), so please don't. I guess most people will understand degrees and minutes, and if they don't, the coordinates are no use to them anyway. BTW did you know there's a naming convention coming up about how to convert Greek alphabet to Latin, WP:GREEK? Might interest you. Markussep 21:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Language

[edit]

All your edits concerning Greek-related articles are in very bad shape in terms of language. Numerous grammatical errors, nonsence, etc. No offense, but it most cases it seems like the language a 5 year old would use. Please be very careful in the future, and please do not use automated translation programs, as they are prone to creating wrongful or inconsistent text like that. Jimzoun 21:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Language again

[edit]

In response to your reply in my user page, let me add the following. Most, if not all, of your text is in a very bad shape in terms of language. Since you don't use automated translation programs and translate/write "from your head" as you say it means it's 100% your fault. Among other things, you don't seem to know how to use a fullstop (.) since most of your text is sentence after sentence separated by a comma (,). Therefore, because other wikipedians spend too much of their time to correct just your mistakes, please refrain from writing anything in English until you learn to speak and write English properly. You can always write articles in your native language. Jimzoun 18:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Information about Greek cities

[edit]

I wanted to inform you as well that after reviewing many of your articles about Greek cities and roads, they contain numerous out of date information, not to mention other useless trivial information, which are inconsistent to the article (something that other users mentioned above as well). Please refrain from editing and/or creating further articles about Greece if you intend to do so with the same -wrongful- sources. As a Greek with first-hand knowledge on the refered roads and cities I had to completely erase some of the articles and replace them with the correct information. Hopefully others will do the same, since I could not correct every one. Jimzoun 18:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greek cities and roads

[edit]

Since you said (in my user page) that you will now create better/correct articles, indeed you should not refrain from doing it. My comments were about previous articles. As for language, probably other users can correct it like you said, althought it would be nice if it was good from the start... but anyway, that's one reason for which we can all edit articles.

New infobox for Greek towns

[edit]

Hi Pumpie, could you use the new infobox template {{Infobox Greek Dimos}} instead of the grey infobox you used e.g. on Kallithea Elassonos? I saw you created more articles with titles like Platanos (Achaia), Greece. The "Greece" part is not necessary here IMO, just Platanos, Achaea will do. When you use the name of a prefecture for disambiguation, please use the spellings of the articles themselves (see Category:Prefectures of Greece). When you add a link to a disambiguation page, please check whether it exists (in the Platanos case, the disamb was at Platanos, not Platanos (disambiguation)). Best regards, Markussep 18:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have made a series of new disambiguation pages with red links to articles, like Zoodochos Pigi (Evros), Greece on Zoodochos Pigi. As I said above, Zoodochos Pigi, Evros would have been enough. And you still don't always use the same spelling for prefectures as the article titles, for instance Fthiotida instead of Phthiotis on Pournari. I think it's best to keep one standard for disambiguating Greek places, with only a comma and the (short) prefecture name, or the municipality name if there are more places with the same name in one prefecture. If you have a better suggestion, let me know. And another suggestion: read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). For instance piping is not recommended.

AfD nomination of Mesochori

[edit]

An editor has nominated Mesochori, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mesochori and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article petrochori, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Potatoswatter 03:45, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Mesochori

[edit]

The article has been deleted, since it is a "dead end" page. If one of those links were "true", then I would not have nominated it for deletion. Sadly, that is not the case. Keep writing articles, Pumpie, but remember to keep them within the ranges of Wikipedia. Regards, Squeak

Greek towns in Romanian Wikipedia

I know some Romanian and I am only good on that field, I know a little Romanian to a point where I do not write Romanian.

Articles regarding Cape Verde

[edit]

Hi Pumpie!
I’ve seen that you’ve made a lot of edits regarding articles about Cape Verde. Before proceeding to some changes, I think I owe you some explanations:

  • Most of the words you used for Cape Verdean Creole are wrong.
  • The word in English is “Creole”. There is no need to put the word in Portuguese “Crioulo”.
  • I don’t know if it is pertinent to show the translation into Portuguese or into Cape Verdean Creole. But if you do want to do so, the name of enterprises, public services, airports, sport clubs, etc. are used in Portuguese in Cape Verde, not in Creole.
  • The place names are indeed also known by their names in Creole. But if you want to do so, try to inform how they are known in Creole before.
  • Do not write that “when the characters á, â, ã, ç, é, õ and so on are not desired...”. You can not change the rules of Portuguese orthography!
  • The Cape Verdean Creole is just one language. They are not 9 different languages.
  • The ALUPEC is not a language nor a variant of a language. It is a writing convention.
  • There is no such thing as “ALUPEK”. The acronym is in Portuguese only.
  • There is no need to put the place names in more than a variant of Cape Verdean Creole. If you do that, it would be fair to put in all the 9 variants, what it would be ridiculous since sometimes the forms are not different from an island to another. Perhaps, the best policy is to put the name in the local variant, i.e., if the place is in Fogo, put the name in the Fogo Creole, if the place is in São Nicolau, out the name in the São Nicolau Creole, and so on.
  • As I said before, the ALUPEC is writing convention. Either you only use the ALUPEC, or either you don’t use it at all.

See you there!
Ten Islands 19:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are some fem things I didn’t understand from your answer. First, I say it again, the ALUPEC is a writing convention. It only defines which letters are used. The ALUPEC does not define how the words should be written. Second, ALUPEC is not based on the Creole of Santiago (avoid calling it “Badiu”). Third, the forms you’ve put are mainly wrong, either if it is in ALUPEC or in another writing system. Fourth, I didn’t understand what are you calling “first forms” and “second forms”. Fifth, I didn’t understand either what works are you talking about. Sixth, the Wikipedia in Cape Verdean Creole is not likely to appear in the next years, because the Cape Verdean Creole is not a standardized language yet. And last, you are definitively not a Cape Verdean Creole expert! Ten Islands 09:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, in case you haven't spotted already, that I've put Category:Natives of Piraeus up for speedy renaming to Category:People from Piraeus here. Wikipedia uses "People from", rather than "Natives of" and all the "Natives of" categories were changed a while ago - the Piraeus one is the odd one out! Regards, Bencherlite 14:51, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. But if you know that "People from" is better than "Natives of", why did you create a category yesterday using "Natives of"? The categories don't change themselves automatically - someone, like me, needs to find them and list them to be changed. If you use the right category name to start with, that would be better. Thanks, Bencherlite 23:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, you created category:Natives of Piraeus and I don't understand why you did that if you knew that wasn't right. Next time, if you make a mistake when you create a category, please ask for it to be renamed at WP:CFD yourself, rather than waiting for someone else to change it for you, as you put it. Thanks, Bencherlite 23:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Greek village articles

[edit]

Hi, would you mind stopping (for the time being) adding what look like infoboxes to articles on Greek villages and towns as there are some serious errors in the template you are obviously cutting and pasting from one article to the next. Take Kateleios, for example. There are no provinces in Kefalonia; each village is part of a municipality. There is no reason to contain information on provinces any more. It would be possible to create an infobox for Greek villages and towns, and by using a proper in box, changes to information can be made much easier.--Damac 16:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you're continuing editing articles on Greek villages using what is clearly a flawed infobox.
I think we should try to discuss and resolve the issue, and to this end, I've raised the matter here. There is a Template:Infobox Greek Dimos, and I've asked whether this can be adapted to include some of the information that your infobox refers to.--Damac 21:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Provinces

[edit]

Hi again,

Sorry to be bothering you, but could you please stop including references to the Provinces of Greece in the otherwise very welcome municipality templates you've been creating. I cannot find any reference anywhere to say that the former Greek provinces have any legal or political significance in today's Greece. I understand that they have been abolished. The only place I've ever seen Eparchy written is in old documents.--Damac 22:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Santa Mara do Pinhal, Corroios, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Johann Frans Podolyn

[edit]

I found your article Johann Frans Podolyn in the category for Swedish historians a while back. The article has no links or sources, and I have not been able to identify him in any Swedish sources. The name looks more German (except for the spelling of Frans/Franz), the last name possibly Slavic in origin (I'm thinking of Podolia). Maybe he is a real 18th century numismatist, just not Swedish? Or maybe he is Swedish, but very obscure. What is your source? I may very well have missed something. Olaus 12:30, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to raise the status of the article concerning Patras I have noticed you have done an impressive job listing the neighborhoods of the city and even providing relevant information on them. Do you think its possible we construct a map based on these data? Or are you aware of any map describing these areas accurately and precisely. The thing I am aware of, is this: from wikimapia Wikimapia Patras, I don't think it includes everything however. Energon 19:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It looks like you are in the process of building this informative article. However, I noticed there are no sources listed. Please cite some reliable sources for this article. Otherwise, the article may be tagged as a candidate for deletion at some point in the future. A full list of citation templates is available here. If you are already in the process of adding sources now, please continue to do so and ignore this message. Cheers. ++Arx Fortis (talk) 03:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Nova Aliança (band)

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Nova Aliança (band) 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. Caerwine Caer’s whines 19:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for creating new articles in Wikipedia. I noticed that they all have many external links to map sites, in addition to the coordinates. Have you seen that when clicking on the coordinates, you get a selection of map services appropriate for the area? To keep Wikipedia neutral and not support one service over others, such links shouldn't be added to articles directly, and there is an active project for removing them from all articles. Is there any way you could clean them out from the articles you've created? If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, on my talk page, or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. --Para (talk) 11:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. You have been identified as having added or removed direct external map service links in articles[2]. There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:External links#Issues with inclusion or exclusion of map service links about which should be done, and some more opinions would be good to find community consensus. --Para (talk) 17:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Project

[edit]

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:51, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On translating articles

[edit]

Hello! I have been checking your recently created article on the Chlemoutsi castle (and I've come across several of your articles in the past). I am writing this to give some (hopefully constructive) criticism: please do not use automatic translators, and confine yourself to languages you speak really well. It is clear that your command of German is insufficient and even your translations from Greek to English look awkward at times. If you need help with translating an article, you can ask for it here or by directly contacting a multilingual user. You should strive for quality edits, not quantity (although that, of course, is also desirable), and although many of your articles fill important gaps (the Chlemoutsi article being an excellent example), if the result is unreadable, then it's worthless. If the Greek and German articles weren't available for cross-checking, I wouldn't be able to make heads or tail of it, even though I have read books on the castle and am familiar with the region's history. Please do take some extra time & effort henceforth to smooth out the articles' language, check the links and provide some context. It would make your contributions that more valuable. Also, if you translate a foreign article, it might be best to stick with its content & structure and not mix several into one, unless you really know the subject. This would spare other users the not inconsiderable trouble of having to rewrite it all over again... :) Cheers, Constantine 19:16, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! I notice you did not even in the slightest take notice of what I wrote, and continue in the same manner. Your articles are barely understandable, and in order to copyedit them, one has to practically rewrite them all over again. Please stop adding machine translations, or at least put some effort into straightening them out afterwards. It does not help anyone if you create a multitude of articles that are incomprehensible.

This article was absolute gibberish. Do you even read Greek? I can't tell if he was an artist or a playwright or whatever. It was as if one non Greek speaker read the original to another over a bad phone line, and then had the resulting transcription translated.

Hi. I've noticed you've done a huge amount of work in regards to starting Greek villages on here. Well done.

Greek villages

[edit]

Hi Pumpie, I notice some problems in articles about Greek villages you recent added:

  • you keep using an old type of infobox, please use the new template, like it is used at Chrysovitsi and thousands of other articles
  • there are often mistakes in the population number and the postal code (e.g. Fonaitika), probably caused by copying the infobox from another article
  • the coordinates are often wrong (also at Fonaitika), you should check those
  • categories you link to often don't exist, you should check those
  • there's no need to link to mapquest, yahoo maps etc., that's what the coord template is for
  • it's really not interesting to mention in every article around what year a village got connected to asphalt or internet, BTW where do you get that kind of information from?
  • Also whether a village has a school, do you have references for that? Markussep Talk 12:35, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For the next articles that I will create, the other sections will remain but it will be merged with Information. Though for some other articles, some of the information are not written. For some articles for now, I may not put a table. A bot will put the table on. On the map links, though only the coordinates sections are put, not map links.
On the other hand, the Soulari article will be restored and reformatted. Pumpie (talk) 02:27, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could you explain which table and which bot you mean? About the coordinates, you can add them easily using the new infobox (see some of the articles I modified, e.g. Chrysovitsi, for ideas), otherwise you can use the {{coord}} template, like this {{coord|39.93|21.05|display=title}} or this {{coord|39|56|N|21|3|E|display=title}}. This creates a link in the title (just like the Infobox Greek Dimos does), which you can follow to e.g. Google Maps. What's the plan with Soulari? If information is not written anywhere, it's probably not right to put it into this encyclopedia, we're not doing original research here. Markussep Talk 10:41, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello Pumpie! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 28 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons.

The article Millenium Bank (Greece) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article does not establish notability of the subject of the article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

A warning

[edit]

Please take more care in your editing. You left French wording in Groslay, and you failed to note it was a translation from the French article, thus breaching the license - I've now noted that. You must do this for all articles you copy from other languages! GO BACK AND DO IT FOR ALL YOUR ARTICLES. You must also stop just cutting and pasting machine translations - if you can't tidy up translations, you should stop doing them. Honestly, I think you need to improve your editing or else leave the English Wikipedia alone. If your editing does not improve sharply, I will open an WP:RFC/U. Fences&Windows 01:05, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Machine translations

[edit]

Please, please learn Greek and/or stop using machine translators. Your recent article on Panagiotis Benakis was complete and utter nonsense, and so are all other articles you have "translated". If you do not know the language, leave it alone. Per Wikipedia:Translation, an unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing. Constantine 11:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Same goes for French. If you don't understand French, don't try to translate French Wikipedia articles. Your translations are even worse than machine translations! See my corrections here. "gare de marchandises" isn't station's merchandise, it's a goods (or freight) station. An "autocar" isn't an empty boxcar, it's a bus. And in the Gare de Grandvilliers article: "une desserte en semaine de 6 allers-retours" doesn't mean that 6 trains were abandoned there, but that 6 trains stopped at the station in both directions, on week days. Markussep Talk 12:07, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And still you continue: the article on the Tourkovounia was a complete mess. Even I, who come from Athens and know the place, had trouble understanding it. You plainly do not understand Greek, you have no concept of the geographical or historical contexts involved, nor, it appears, are you capable of writing in good English. For the last time, stop, or I'll begin a RfC on you and request sanctions. Your articles are worse than worthless. Either confine yourself to writing stubs with whatever info you do understand from an article, or abstain altogether. Constantine 13:38, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop "translating" French articles, because you can't!!! The sentence "The line opened on October 22, 1894 and opened to trains on December 31, 1935." in the Gare de Formerie article is completely wrong: the French original says (about a branch line, not the main line that's still operating) "Cette ligne, ouverte le 22 octobre 1894, ferma à tout trafic le 31 décembre 1935.". This means quite the contrary: the line was closed for all traffic on December 31, 1935! In the best interest of Wikipedia, do something you can, or don't do anything at all. Markussep Talk 15:41, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see you have resumed posting poor translations of Greek and French articles to en:Wikipedia. This is creating a tremendous amount of work for others. Have you looked at Category: Rough translations? All of those are articles that are waiting for someone to spend significant time painstakingly fixing them. How do you think you are benefiting the encyclopedia with articles like the French station ones? They are in places unreadable; they contain inaccuracies, incorrect links, and non-existent categories; and you don't put the translation template either on the article or on the talkpage, so you are not even giving proper credit for where you took them from. I see from your talkpage that others have asked you again and again not to post bad translations, and your response has been that others will fix it. Have you not considered that the articles would be better if you took the time to do them better yourself? Or instead wrote one or two articles entirely of your own researching, in good English? Or improved someone else's article, such as all the unreferenced BLPs that are in danger of being deleted - you can presumably read foreign-language sources that would make good references? Perhaps it has simply not occurred to you that by presuming others will fix it, you are taking those others away from writing our own articles, which might be more useful to the English Wikipedia than a string of little French stations chosen apparently at random and posted in more or less incomprehensible form? Further . . . I am puzzled as to why your translations are still so bad. You have claimed to be a genius. Shouldn't you be learning from your mistakes and getting better at understanding French? The continuing badness of your translations is the reason people think they are machine translations. Look at the diffs between your versions and some of the stations (and other articles) that others have come along and extensively edited. For example Gare d'Épinay-Villetaneuse. You're making the same errors in translation - and failures to check for correct link wording - over and over again.Yngvadottir (talk) 18:08, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What part of "stop making machine translations in languages you do not comprehend" do you not understand? For the last time, stop this practice. If you cannot guarantee that the translation is correct, leave it be. I have had enough cleaning up your mess. Next time, I'll go for RfC. Constantine 11:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Georgios P. Mavromichalis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Request for comment

[edit]

Pumpie, I'm afraid I have to draw your attention again to serious errors in your edits. Really, in the article Klassiki periptosi vlavis I don't know where to start. You really should be more accurate in your edits, and check what you have written. In this one article, I see the following errors:

  1. missing bracket ")" after Greek text
  2. is the actor named "Tasos Kostis" or "Tasos Kostia" (as in the infobox)?
  3. "workeres" is not a word
  4. what does "with their identities in all visits to their family builders" mean?
  5. what does "they damage with an unbelievable shame" mean?
  6. what does "suspecting oppositely a fragile behavior" mean?
  7. what does "The movie was created from a misfortunate continuation" mean?
  8. what does "with surrealistic and aminated sources from hypertension" mean? For your info: amination is a chemical process, I suppose you meant "animated" (but the line still makes no sense).
  9. "and became builders" seems out of place here, the object of the sentence is "the movie"
  10. "continuarion" is not a word
  11. what does "he rose from his cane for building a furnace" mean?
  12. your IMDB link links to an unrelated actor, you should use the {{IMDB title}} template instead (I fixed it)
  13. the "cine.gr" template you created didn't work (the ID wasn't in the link), I fixed it

Really, this kind of articles is damaging Wikipedia, we all want to create a reliable encyclopedia. If you need help translating some text, you should ask someone, there are many Greeks active in English Wikipedia. But please, don't translate something yourself if you can't read the language it's written in. Reading your English, I even doubt whether your English is good enough. If you are fluent in English, do you ever wonder what the text you've written actually means?

You know there is a request for comment about you, but you haven't replied on our concerns yet. Please do so. If you don't, I see no other way than to ask for arbitration, which may result in sanctions against you, like a (temporary) block. Markussep Talk 08:16, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your latest translation effort, Stefanos Linaios, is not "almost perfect". Just look at what we have corrected since you posted it: [6]. If you create another article like this before you have cleaned up the errors at Klassiki periptosi vlavis, I will ask for arbitration. Markussep Talk 08:35, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And Pumpie, please, what do you mean by "he was also educated with politics" - did he also take courses in political science? "a broadcaster of Secondary Programs" - do you mean educational programs, or what, and what exactly does she do, host them? write them? What is "He wrote a narration" and what is "which he received the viewers in the establishment of 'educational television'"? What do you mean here by "councillor" - it maybe should be "counselor" or "advisor"? I could not correct the English in those passages because I can't read Greek so I don't know what is meant. . . . and if it's the "Modern Greek Theatre" company, is it also "Modern Theatre" for the play title "Σύγχρονο θέατρο"? Could you please come back to your articles and fix things like this so that English-speaking readers can understand? Yngvadottir (talk) 15:38, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely, but not permanently

[edit]

I regret having to do this, but a number of users have complained that you have ignored numerous complaints about your editing, a user conduct Request for Comments discussion related to that ( Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Pumpie2 ), and the notice that you were being brought up for a case at the Arbitration Committee. You seem to be continuing with questionable edits this week, after the Arbcom notice was posted and without having responded to it or anything else recently.

I have reviewed and found that there is reasonable cause to believe that your editing is currently not meeting the standards we expect of prolific Wikipedia contributors. If you were cooperating with other users and discussing the apparent problems we would usually extend a good deal of tolerance and good faith, but you seem to have completely stopped discussing issues with other editors.

I have indefinitely blocked your account from editing, other than editing this talk page.

This is not a permanent block on your account. Any administrator can unblock you at any time, without notifying me or posting to an admin noticeboard first, if you respond here and agree to engage in constructive discussions with other editors on article talk pages and your talk page here about your editing and issues they may have with it.

Until you agree to enter into those discussions, however, I have blocked your editing. Hopefully you will respond quickly and your block can be lifted, and you and the other users who are objecting can work out suitable solutions to the problems they are seeing.

Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|My editing is good, it is partially improving}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Other than my reason, I haven't communicated, I thought it was something else. My editing is improving and I expect not to be blocked. My English is nearly good and I will try to meet the standards. I will not translated medium and long articles from other languages, those with different words, since some of the words like "comprendiamos" (Spanish) are difficult to me. Another, I rarely write quaternary words including the rarest non-foul words. I am not translating words from Swedish or Slavic, I don't have the capability of like combined words. I am translating those that are easy to translate then another article that is easy to translate. I do not translate pages that are hard to translate and contains different words even the quaternary and rare words. Though some of the worlds I translated from Greek I cannot check it up in some dictionaries. I use some word differences in translation into English to make it looks as it sounds sense. Even though I was editing less, I actually edit mostly every day. When I go to another subject or category articles, some of them I cant, only easy ones I can translate.

For the page Silivri, that does not link to a place in Greece, it's in another country, that was my error. The place that is in Greece what I founded is another spelling, the one that I use was incorrect, that place that I meant to use was the one that I created about a place in eastern Achaia. I will not correct but I will go on doing other places. Sorry for all the mistakes, thank you. Pumpie (talk) 00:44, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If that works out well I will unblock you myself. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 01:40, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Markussep

[edit]

Pumpie, thanks for responding. I will try to explain my concerns with your editing:

  • I sincerely think your English is not good enough for your editing to be of use to Wikipedia. Also in your response above there are very strange and unintelligible parts, like "quaternary words including the rarest non-foul words". I don't have a clue what you mean there. The same goes for many of your article edits, as I pointed out using your Klassiki periptosi vlavis article in the #Request for comment section above.
  • Since I don't speak Greek I can't judge your grasp of that language (Cplakidas can), but I notice you make serious errors in translations from French. I already pointed some out above, for instance in the Gare de Saint-Omer-en-Chaussée article. Another frequent error you make is translating the French verb "relier" with "to rely". "relier" means "to link", "to connect", see this dictionary. That makes a lot more sense, doesn't it? Another recent example from Gare de Tricot: you wrote that a freight line "only serves Longueil-Ste-Marie and Estrées-Saint-Denis", the French original says that the line is actually downgraded ("déclassée") between those towns, which means it isn't used anymore (actually on Géoportail I saw the tracks have been removed completely). These are serious factual errors!
  • You really need to check your articles after you've saved them, because there are many errors and typos in them. For instance in all the station articles you did on the line from Cambrai to Busigny (part of Lille - Saint-Quentin) you used line 4 instead of line 22. Line 4 is the line from Lille to Orchies. I notice this because I'm (remotely) familiar with the places, apparently you're not. Some other errors from last month:
    • wrong interwiki in Gare de Caudry
    • in Gare de Bertry, your line "The station is not used as a stop for passengers." is simply not true, and I don't see anything in the French text that justifies it (except that the station building was demolished)
    • in Gare de Maurois the same error, and "trails" instead of "trains"
    • in Gare de Tricot "Wacquemolin" instead of "Wacquemoulin", and the déclassée error above
    • in Gare de Castel "Ca stel" instead of "Castel", "Amines" instead of "Amiens", and the line Amiens-Compiègne wasn't closed in the 1980s, the station was.

Just out of curiosity: which language(s) do you speak fluently, and which ones can you read without using a dictionary? Markussep Talk 08:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the articles especially train articles, some of the sentences seems to be wrong. On the Caudry article, I meant to put the fr interwiki. On the Maurois article, I put the wrong letter or I type too fast, I should type fast but not incorrectly type any words. on the Tricot article, Wacquemoulin is what I meant to put on. on the Castel article, I do not mean to space Ca stel even though I was typing fast. I meant to put Amiens, not Amiens. On the last line on one of the paragraph, I actually wrote: the station was closed in the 1980s, not the line closed in the 1980s. I forgot to put to ... on -er and some with we ... on -ons, they ... on -ez and -ent. Even from the Spanish -er, -ar and -amos. Declassee is downgraded, not some parts abandoned.
The language I speak fluently the most is English, some of the words I can read without using the dictionary are French, Spanish and Greek. Even though I haven't translated parts from other categories. The next time I put a line number, do not warn be but do it for words. Let the bot handle it, it will put the correct line number. I rather stick putting the table on without the line number. I will check my articles after I saved them, there will be nearly no errors and typos. I may have rarely any trouble translating some words but I think some of the sentences with some words that I can't translate straight or properly is that I avoid them. I am avoiding other categories. Though in translating from Greek into English, I can translate, I have the Greek-English dictionary with me but a few words I can't find to translate. I don't have a Greek-English CD/DVD dictionary, I translated from my book. The reason is that I am translating from French are not my translation errors. I can translate English into Greek but I do not have a keyboard that I can write using the Greek alphabet. I will or may carefully translate from French into English in the easiest parts on category and one topic, not another. The rest is that I can translate from Greek, though where I am translating there is there is only a few articles available to translate there though five to six. On the French Wikipedia, I can translate as much as eight and ten, but it is my third and fourth language that I know after Greek or Spanish, on the Greek Wikipedia, I can create and expand place name articles and some entertainment ones. If I see more sentences on one article on the French Wikipedia, I will not translate some, I have not figure out the correct words to translate, pages with one article that has more sentences, I can still translate the easy parts, though I can translate a few more sentences in one article and is slowly improving. My Greek to English translation will improve even better. If I still have any trouble translating from another language other than Greek, notify me, thank you, I'll try to do better, that is now the most written part that I can do, translating but not Greek into English since I have no Greek letter keyboard, I haven't downloaded the Greek font section which is a blue square on the bottom right along with English and Spanish but I'll try to download so I can translate Greek into English. I will not translate from the Spanish and the German Wikipedias, they are too hard for me. Pumpie (talk) 13:40, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know a nicer way to bring this, but I'm afraid you're overestimating your language skills. Your English is definitely not fluent, it's often incomprehensible. I find it hard to believe your native language is Greek. Which Greek would translate "Σύγχρονο Ελληνικό Θέατρο" as "Synchronized Greek Theatre", like you did in the Stefanos Linaios article? "σύγχρονο" means "modern", "contemporary". Cplakidas showed some other strange errors you made. You've been unblocked, and I will let you know when I see errors in your future edits. I expect you to correct them, and to learn from your mistakes, that is, not to make the same errors again. If you don't improve your work, I'll have to ask for a block again. Markussep Talk 07:36, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by JamesBWatson

[edit]

It is never pleasant to have to discourage a good-faith editor from editing, and worse still to have to prevent them from doing so. However, unfortunately the reality is that Pumpie simply does not have sufficient competence in English to edit English Wikipedia. The above message in response to the block clearly indicates this. I really cannot imagine any situation in which contributions from someone with such a poor grasp of the language would be likely to be useful. Pumpie makes various statements above about what he or she does and does not translate, but that is all irrelevant: if Pumpie's grasp of English is as poor as the above comment indicates then they will not be able to contribute usefully, whether by translating or by writing original text. With great reluctance I have to conclude that the unblock request must be declined, and the indefinite block has to remain in place permanently, unless at some time in the future Pumpie can indicate a truly dramatic improvement in competence at English. Really, Pumpie, you would be much better off contributing to the Wikipedia in your native language than to English Wikipedia. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of non-English speakers contributing barely comprehensible text to this site. I'm not aware that there's any policy of blocking them. It's not as if Wikipedia doesn't already have hundreds of thousands of half-assed inadequate articles. Lots of topics, especially those outside the English-speaking world, are unlikely to be documented by native speakers. Sumbuddi (talk) 17:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even though I am fluent in Greek and rarely in French, I am fluent in English, I always know English since I was a little child, my sentences has been improving, I am also an English speaker, I didn't read much novels and children's novel books and I was not a fast reader until the late-1990s. When I was little, I rarely read only no higher than 10 to 15 pages. Not only that I write here, I read here. I was the first person that I was brilliant and skilled in Greek places. I translate mostly the rest of the articles (esp. movies) that are not translated. I am not a middle class resident, I was leaning into that class but I escaped. I will continue to do topics related with Greek entertainment and some sports, I will translate but not into Greek, I have no Greek keyboard. One part of France, I know almost every street in Picardie and north of it and around it, that is where I am translating. I will try not to do spelling and translation errors, I will be careful, there could be a notice being put here reading: "Slow down on your translations, some of the words have incorrect translations. Wait and then improve.". I have the English-French dictionary but I do not frequently use it. If I want a translate, where I can translate until I am unblocked, so after I finished translating, some user will translate and then post it in an article with the correct name or post it in a section of an article. If my translation is nearly right: notify me, the note will read: "If you want to translate, first put it in a User Page and someone will translate it for you, then it will be created into an article." I could limit pasting articles until it is completely correct, okay and the correct one will be replaced on my test page. There may be a WikiProject the will be made on Pokemon characters translated into Greek. I will write some topics related with space mostly on meteors and meteorites. There may be a race that racers fly around the world. Pumpie (talk) 18:36, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Yngvadottir

[edit]

Pumpie, I am afraid you should not be translating into English if you cannot see when you have made a mistake like misunderstanding Elle ne comporte pas de bâtiment voyageurs as "The station is not used as a stop for passengers". Bâtiment is "building" in English. Or as Markussep said, if you type "trails" instead of "trains" and cannot see the error. It's not only that you have varying degrees of competence in French, Greek, German, Spanish, and so on . . . it's also that these mistakes, and not noticing them, mean that your English isn't good enough for you to make useful translations. Missing out sentences that you do not understand and only doing the easy bits is not a solution! If you do not completely understand an article - and know how to put it in English - then don't do it. Leave it for someone who can. Particularly since avoiding articles with difficult sentences has led you to translate the least important station articles, the ones we need least on en.wikipedia. But also because someone else with very good knowledge of the language you are translating from has to drop what they're doing and go re-do the translation for you, checking all the facts and spotting where you have left things out. There is no bot that makes corrections to translations; why do you think there is? Also, your English is weak in grammar. You do not seem to understand why "The station are served" is wrong. You speak above of not understanding Spanish comprendiamos and there is a sentence in your response to Markussep where you start listing verb endings in French and Spanish as if you have a problem with them. I suspect what you actually do when you translate is just substitute words. That doesn't work. (And the words are really the easiest part - if you don't know a word, look it up in a dictionary, either a printed one or an online one. It really doesn't matter if you need to check something in the dictionary; nobody will know. But if you don't have a dictionary or can't find a word, then don't translate that article!) If you don't understand the grammar of both languages, don't translate for publication! Wikipedia is publication. It's not for private practice.

I understand that you copy and paste a master copy or pattern for the station articles, but you are also being very careless with it. You should have checked the line number before doing that group. That is something where the reader trusts the person who does the article, and also something that very few people can check - luckily Markussep knows the region so he caught the mistake. But you should have checked for it. You should also have checked each station for whether it gave a number of platforms and of tracks, and checked that the interwiki was right, and checked placename spellings, before leaving it and going on to the next. You say "some of the sentences seems to be wrong" (that should be "seem", by the way); you say you will check; you say you "meant to put . . . " and that you typed too fast - but you are responsible for checking and correcting. This is not the first time you have been told. The disadvantage to copying and pasting is that it does require one to check very carefully. Also, this page is full of notices about articles of yours that are impossible to understand. Most recently To Fintanaki. I know that you translated these articles a long time ago. But why didn't you go back and improve them after people complained about them? I fixed up Ernst Hinterberger and Schloss Lenzburg for you. Both are on very notable topics. Ernst Hinterberger was almost deleted; Schloss Lenzburg was such a mess that it caused the creation of a category for bad translations. People who create articles are responsible for them. That's why you are being notified on your talk page. You should be responding and helping. Presumably your English has improved over the years? And what's the point making an article if it's just going to get deleted? You should want to save these.

You seem willing to work on your English and to check your work - but you have never done so. The only thing you have done is fix single words in your master that you copy from. It also indicates how poor your English is that you say you did not respond to the notices about the RfC and the Arbcom case because you "thought it was something else". If you don't understand notices on your page, doesn't that tell you you need to work on your English?

Here are my specific proposals for you:

  1. I think you need an English grammar book, or an English course, before you are ready to edit on en.wikipedia.
  2. I also think you should translate only from your native language into English. You have never said what that is, and I respect your privacy. But you have said that "The language I speak fluently the most is English" - that does not seem to mean it is your native language, and your ability in English is certainly not native. So I conclude that your native language is something else, perhaps something we don't have a Wikipedia for - perhaps Maltese, which you meantion on your userpage? But whatever it is, it would be hugely more useful to en.wikipedia for you to write articles based on sources written in that language - or to translate articles from taht Wikipedia - than for you to keep trying to translate from languages that you don't know well enough. And you clearly don't know even French (or Greek, according to Cplakidas and the el.wikipedia people) well enough.
  3. When you resume editing, you must spend at least as much time checking and fixing old work as making new articles, and you must make sure a new article is all correctly translated and spelled before going on to something else.
  4. If there is a Wikipedia in your native language, you should mainly work there. They need you more - en.wikipedia has a bazillion editors - and working in your native language will help you learn to check your work. There are also undoubtedly more important articles missing in other Wikipedias that you could provide; I see you saying above about there not being so many articles you can do in some languages? If you do want to return to en.wikipedia, I think you need to think about what articles are important. Your choices of what stations, what places, what films and what historical people to do articles on have puzzled many people. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:50, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to read corrections but incase if I have a problem with translations, it will be put in my user's page and so will my next pages. After it has been corrected, it will be saved into the master encyclopedia. About pasting translations from Google, I no longer do that anymore. I never have pasted articles for nearly five years.

On working my English, I know English grammar since I was a child. I already got an English course. I know every French words but not its grammar or a part of its translations. I speak and I am fluent in Greek but I do not have a Greek keyboard, one of the reasons that I am translating French into English. I will translate English into Greek later. I will spend some or most of the time checking and fixing old work as making new articles, and all new articles will be correctly translated and spelled before going on to something else, If there is a minor error, I will put it in a temporary page until it is correct and can be saved into an article, the temporary page will start with Pumpie. I have yet to work to a Wikipedia in my native language (Greek), I will not work until I have a Greek keyboard or download so I can type in or into Greek. I can't translate for example, train stations or places (the ones that I never wrote) in Northern France, a few topics related with South Carolina in the USA, not even a few albums (the ones that I never wrote and remaining good ones) into Greek, I do not have a Greek keyboard.

I am checking on my work and rarely did not fix single words. I copy and paste a master copy from my test page and will be improved and correct, I will not be careless, on the bottom of my test page will be the number of lines that is correct. The number of platforms and tracks section will be corrected. Before i was notified, I didn't know which line runs, so I put the wrong number, put the correct line in each article, thank you. My proposed articles will be better and more correct and I will see corrections. Even though I have read over 80,000 articles. Pumpie (talk) 19:09, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie, I am afraid you do not quite understand. I was not saying you copy and paste from Google or any other automatic translator - I was saying you copy and paste from the model you have set up on your test page. That requires you to ensure that the model is correct (for example: line number, and "station is served") and also to check each translation to make sure you have changed everything correctly, including things which are in one article and not in another (for example, number of tracks and of platforms). And you cannot just omit anything that you don't understand.
If you do not know French grammar, as you say above, you should not be translating from French! That was my point about translating word by word.
Again, your English is simply not good enough for publication, I am sorry to say. No matter how long ago you learnt it, or how many books and articles you have read in it. I do not write French articles or German articles for the same reason you should not be writing English articles.
Thank you for the offer to put everything in a draft page first, but it is not others' job to correct your translations. I appreciate the spirit of your offer, but it would be quicker if you simply let others do the translations and went and edited in your native language. It is clear that that is not English. I would like to see you work on fixing articles you have already made, but you are not giving me confidence that you yet understand how to do that. Particularly since you ask above for people to put reminder notices here saying "Check your work!" That is your responsibility, and people have told you so on many occasions - scroll up.

Statement by Cplakidas

[edit]

Pumpie, as others have stated, your English is highly problematic. Aside from the problems with grammar and syntax however, very often you completely distort the meaning of the original text, to the extent that I doubt whether you are fluent even in Greek. In Stefanos Linaios you said that his daughter was his mother, in other articles a brigand becomes a brigadier, etc. More peculiar is the fact that you make mistakes when rendering the declensions of Greek names into English, or for instance fail to identify terms that are well-known to all Greeks, like Πόλη with Constantinople/Istanbul. In general your editing pattern is very idiosyncratic and does not conform with the "typical" mistakes of the average Greek user's broken English, but rather with that of someone who understands Greek only at a rudimentary level, and who has little knowledge of the Greek cultural/historical/etc context. So I have to ask: do you live in Greece, or are you a Greek-speaker from the diaspora?

I truly believe that you want to contribute constructively, and normally, I would be overjoyed to see someone tackling the more obscure Greece-related articles. However, when they have to be re-translated before they become understandable, then they serve no purpose. If you intend to continue contributing here, then your English simply must improve, and you must spend more time checking and correcting your articles both before and after posting them. Use a sandbox and/or get input from other users if necessary, but please do not ignore what they have to say. I'll say it in Greek too to be sure: φίλε, δυστυχώς τα αγγλικά σου δεν επαρκούν για μεταφράσεις. Ειλικρινά το αποτέλεσμα είναι εντελώς ακατανόητο, κακό κάνεις στη Βικιπαίδεια με το να ανεβάζεις τέτοια άρθρα διότι δίνουν άσχημη εντύπωση. Μάθε πρώτα καλά αγγλικά ή συμβουλέψου χρήστες που μπορούν να βοηθήσουν προτού δημοσιεύσεις κάποιο άρθρο. Αν δεν είσαι βέβαιος τί σημαίνει κάτι, μην μαντεύεις. Ρώτα, ψάξε, και αν δεν το βρίσκεις, μην το γράφεις. Να περιλαμβάνεις μόνο ότι καταλαβαίνεις 100% και ότι είσαι σίγουρος ότι έχεις μεταφράσει σωστά. Constantine 20:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie, your recent articles are better, but only by virtue of being shorter. You still guess wildly when you translate, as here: "The station was used for exchanging passengers between Kiato-Sikiona and Diminio stations, with the line pointing to Patras in which it terminated in Kiato", when all it means is that there is a branch located between Kiato-Sikiona and Diminio that leads from the old line to the new Kiato station. "δεν πρέπει να συγχέεται" also means "it must not be confused", not "it has no connections"... For the n-th time, if you don't know something, ask, seek help or leave it alone. Constantine 08:27, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For that sentence on the last article, the line that branches with the old line does not connect with the eastern part of the old line. I translated there, even though I will not write stations around Lechaina and Routsi because I have no information about these stations. I am seeking help. Though other than editing here, I was watching YouTube videos and also playing online games. Pumpie (talk) 19:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article translation help on some sentences

[edit]

Okay when I am going to translate upcoming French train station articles or an article from the French language, some of the sentences If I don't translate, somebody needs some help, though a less as a few words I have no ability to translate the whole sentences. I may return to translating from Spanish and Portuguese. Pumpie (talk) 19:56, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie, I am afraid you still do not understand. If you are not competent to translate something accurately into understandable English, you should not translate it. Wikipedia is a collaborative enterprise. I am grateful when others fix typos I have made, or find smoother wording, or make a link to an article I didn't know existed, or show me how to insert a template. But no one can expect people to be their assistants. I went through those 5 new station articles before Cplakidas had time to do so, and fixed several things. I made the category for TrainOSE stations; you had put all of them into it without creating it. I discovered you had simply made a link to SPAP without checking where that link went - searching, I found you had done the same on numerous articles on Greek places that you had previously created. That led me to fix the English on several of those articles as best I was able, and also to create a DAB page for SPAP - all of that checking and fixing and creating of things for your category and article links to point to, you should have done. And I had to tag 3 of the stations with 'rough translation' because the English didn't make sense. You said you were going to draft articles here and have people check them before they went live. Instead you created 5 new articles with errors in them. Now you say that unless people help you translate, you will return to translating from languages you know less well. There are two different problems here. One is that your knowl;edge of Greek, French and English is not adequate. The other is that you expect others to drop everything and do your work for you.
This is not going to work. I don't have time; Cplakidas and Markussep probably have even less time. It's all very well your saying you were also watching YouTube and playing video games; we have other things we do too, you know! Instead of asking us for help, let's see you post a draft with all the links correct, with all the grammar checked with a grammar book and all the hard words looked up in a dictionary (again, you can use an online dictionary if you don't have a paper one). And I was happy to see you fix one typo in a French trains article. Now how about you go back to one of your articles in the Rough translations category and fix it? If you look at that category you will see it is full of articles you wrote, many of which, like To Fintanaki, have been sitting on en:wikipedia confusing readers and making the project look bad for years. You are unblocked - there is now nothing to stop you from doing some of this work. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I translate from the English-Greek dictionary, I do not have the CD but when I have the download so I can type Greek, I will use the translations there, I have never translated online before. On this computer, I don't have the English-French CD but I do have the book. A few articles that I never created that I have looked that I have reading, there are minimal spelling errors made by some other users, I don't have the time to do that. I now also do some disambiguation articles that I doesn't have the other article's name on it. I could correct some spelling errors to make it understandable but I do not have the time. Instead of linking to SPAP, I meant to link it with the Piraeus, Athens and the Peloponnese Railway, my mistake. My knowledge or English and Greek is almost adequate, not most of its translations, I know every French words but in the sentence and translating part, not adequate. Pumpie (talk) 21:04, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie, do you ever look at your articles after you've saved them? Just look at your version of the Vranas article, is this really how you meant it to be? If you don't understand how these templates work, don't use them! And do you ever check whether your links point to the right articles? I created the redirect to "Hellenic State Railways", is it really too much trouble to look for the article yourself? This is getting very annoying, you keep promising to improve your edits, but they're still as bad as before. BTW you definitely don't know every French word, for instance "relier", "autocar", "gare de marchandises", "desserte". Markussep Talk 13:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pumpie, I am now convinced that you do not, in fact, understand Greek, but translate on a word for word basis, guessing as you go. "The line shut down except for the exploitation in 1969." could never come from "Η γραμμή τέθηκε εκτός εκμετάλλευσης το 1969" except by someone who doesn't understand the sentence. And yet again you prove that you are not yourself Greek, for no Greek would ever consider Kakosalesi to have been named "Kakosalesion" in Katharevousa, simply because "Kakosalesi" was a colloquial, "vulgar" name and was never rendered into Katharevousa. And even if it had, then the tone would fall in the ante-penultimate syllable, giving us "Kakosalésion", and not "Kakosálesion". This is elementary Greek phonology... I am asking this for the last time: which country do you come from, and what language do you speak? Please answer directly and to the point. Constantine 14:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pumpie, you don't seem to understand the term "online". It doesn't matter whether you have a CD-ROM, there are always places you can look up words on the internet. I know you have an internet connection because you are editing! I will admit, you are not the only person editing on Greek topics who has assumed OSE can only refer to Hellenic State Railways, but as Markussep says, you should be checking where your links go. Have a look at that DAB page. The acronym has numerous meanings. And SPAP was going to the article on the physics department at an Indian university. You need to check these things. You're very ready to create redirects for obscure variants of placenames - why aren't you ready to create DAB pages and/or pipe your links correctly? Why are you so obsessed with creating new articles?
As for the statement that you don't have time to check your spellings - I'm sorry to tell you that that is unacceptable. If you don't check and correct things, you should not be publishing them.
More importantly, "almost adequate" means not adequate. You should not be translating except into your native language, because you are here admitting that your English is not good enough. (And why you keep telling us that you don't have a Greek keyboard, I don't know. Cplakidas has confirmed above that your Greek is also not good enough for you to create articles on el.wikipedia. Is it possible that you think you need a Greek keyboard to look up Greek words online? You don't. Copy and paste the word into the search field. Please, let's think about how you can be of use to the project and get more satisfaction out of editing than producing strings of unwanted articles that just make work for other editors and confuse people who want to look things up. Schloss Lenzburg is a major castle in Switzerland. I keep imagining some kid doing a project looking up the article on it before I rewrote it and being baffled out of his mind. I'm baffled by some of the stuff you are writing about Greek stations and unlike Cplakidas I can't look it up to see what it is supposed to say!

No, Kakosalesion is not an older name of Avlona. Please read what I wrote above (and see what Google has to say). You plainly do not understand the rules concerning the addition of -on after names, because I have seen that you plaster it on almost every article you create regardless of whether it fits. Constantine 15:21, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then remove the redirect. It will be redirect to a train station article, the older name of a train station near Avlona, I have yet to read that article, when I read it, i may redirect it to "Avlona train station".

No, you do not get the point. "Kakosalesion" as a name never existed, it is your creation... It refers to neither the settlement nor the train station. Constantine 15:30, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
PS, I would seriously like an answer to my question above. What is your native language and where do you come from? Constantine 15:31, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For Kakosalesion, remove the direct. Second question, I will tell you where I come from later, I will not tell you today. Pumpie (talk) 15:35, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, Pumpie, you will not defer or evade the answer as you have done so many times. For once, give a straight reply. At the very least, what is your native language. Constantine 06:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: the article Avlon, Greece is about a municipality on Euboea, I suppose the redirect target should be Avlona, Attica. Markussep Talk 19:02, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good spotting. Moved some articles around to be more accurate. Constantine 20:13, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

English language skills

[edit]
I am very concerned by this recent series of edits: [7]
You fixed a couple of things, but some of what you added made no sense:
The interchange with the superhighway connecting Athens and Tripoli was opened in 1992, before that, it connected as west as the road connecting Tripoli and Nestani.
The "it connected as west as the road connecting..." part makes no sense. That's not proper english, and I am not sure what you meant by that.
This one, you added the date:
The highway now bypasses Olympia and the length was 20 km in 2004.
That also makes no sense; before, it read "The highway now bypasses Olympia and the length was 20 km". Was the length 20 km before it was extended, or after? Adding the "in 2004" doesn't make it better, if anything it confuses things.
Some people above have asked what your native language is, and indicated that they believe that you have problems using English successfully.
I don't want to be mean to you, but I share their concerns. You aren't writing well here. It's often very hard to understand what you're writing, making it difficult to even come through and correct it.
Please let us know what your native language is, and work with us on establishing what you can do safely and can't within the English language Wikipedia.
Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 08:49, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence may be read: "In 1992, the interchange with the road connecting Nestani and Tripoli opened along with the superhighway connecting Athens and Tripoli, the connection with the GR-74 did not open until 1999". The other: "In 2004, the highway started bypassing Olympia and totalled its length by 20 km." Pumpie (talk) 12:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't make it clearer Pumpie. I'm sure the GR-74 wasn't 20 km long in 2004, probably you mean the bypass was 20 km long. Another confusing text (from Arkoudi, Greece, I corrected it afterwards): "The village had a train station and was part of the Vartholomio-Loutra Kyllinis Line which was part of the Hellenic Public Railways (now TrainOSE)". This implies that the village was part of the Varth... Line, when actually the train station of the village was situated on that line. A village can't be part of a railway line. Another error: according to you both the Afidnes Railway Station and the Agios Stefanos Railway Station were known as "Oiou". Which one is it? And another beauty: "Afterwards, a new settlement was founded due to the station was renamed Afidnes." This is not English, I can only guess what it means. Markussep Talk 14:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A sentence in the GR-74, the bypass is 20 km long. In the train station part, I meant to put the station in what it was, the village was not part of the line, the station was, I put it in a section of the article since it has no remaining information, not to be put in a separate page other than the Greek version. Afidnes has never been Oion or Oiou station. In the Afidnes article: "After the station was built, the new settlement which became Afidnes was founded". Pumpie (talk) 14:08, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You could save us a lot of trouble by writing it correctly the first time. I can't really read Greek, but I guess your line about the settlement Afidnes comes from this line "Μετέπειτα δημιουργήθηκε γύρω από τον σταθμό ο οικισμός που λόγω του σταθμού ονομάστηκε Σταθμός Αφιδνών" in the el:Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αφιδνών article. In Google Maps I see a village called Stathmos Afidnon near the station. My guess is that the Greek line means something like "Near the station a settlement was built, that was named "Stathmos Afidnon" after the station", which is completely different from what you wrote. Markussep Talk 14:33, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pumpie, I appreciate that you're trying to work with us here. But you still don't seem to understand how badly your english is coming out here.
I don't want to be mean, but it's bad.
We don't require perfection, but we do require that the language used to update the English language Wikipedia be clear enough that it can be understood and fixed by others, even if it's not quite right to start with. I don't think your skills here are good enough.
It would probably be best if you focused on your native language Wikipedia going forwards, until your english language skills improve. Perhaps translating FROM en.wikipedia to that one, would be less likely to get you in trouble? I am happy to see your enthusiasm for the project continue, I think that you can help the global Wikipedia movement a lot, but if you can do that somewhere that it works out smoothly it will help everyone out.
Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:33, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pumpie, even Markussep, who doesn't claim to speak Greek, understands the Greek articles better than you. Your translations remain very much problematic. Please, for the last time, tell us what your native language is so that we can find some way for you to contribute constructively, otherwise no one can help you. Constantine 12:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My native language is Greek, English is my speaking language, French and Spanish are one of my tertiary languages but I am a non-speaker. Other than that, in a few weeks, I could visit Ohio or Florida. I even played Crash Bandicoot, my favorite show was The Simpsons, video games (non-violent) brings brilliance in adventures and excitement and even more than the most violent movies, I no longer watch them. Pumpie (talk) 14:36, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ώστε είσαι Έλληνας? Μπορείς να μου πεις γιατί δεν καταλαβαίνεις ή κάνεις λάθος σε στοιχειώδη πράγματα τότε? Είσαι από Ελλάδα ή από εξωτερικό δεύτερης/τρίτης/κτλ γενιάς? Και τί εννοείς όταν λες ότι τα ελληνικά είναι η μητρική σου αλλά τα αγγλικά είναι η ομιλουμένη? Δεν μιλάς ελληνικά καθημερινά? Παρακαλώ απάντησέ μου στα ελληνικά, έστω με λατινικούς χαρακτήρες, διότι ειλικρινά αμφιβάλλω πολύ κατά πόσον λες αλήθεια. Constantine 14:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can translate but only tertiary words I have trouble translating, I am trying to improve my translations on the tertiary part. I will tell you where I from later, I may later visit Ohio or Hollywood. Greek and English are my mother tongue, I mostly speak English since it is the world's most spoken language, Greek, I speak with my family and cousins, I don't support a society that only allows influences from one country, I don't want to visit there for long, I was near one of that and I don't hear from that. Also I am brillant and a genius not only in math but in astronomy. I will later download Greek characters into my keyboard. Pumpie (talk) 15:08, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you for once answer a question directly without going into irrelevant discourse? You can answer my question without Greek characters, so stop deferring it. Also, what are "tertiary words" supposed to be? Do you or do you not speak or otherwise use Greek on a daily basis? Pumpie, I don't know about the others, but I am way past having lost patience with your evasions. If you continue as you have until now I will ask for an indefinite block. Constantine 15:27, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pumpie, your latest answer destroyed my last hope that you will be able to contribute positively to English wikipedia. Your written English contains many errors and is often incomprehensible. Your evasive answers to Cplakidas about your Greek skills make me suspect that your Greek is even worse. I was pleased that you started communicating after your block, but your edits haven't really improved, and you didn't answer my questions about your translations from Greek, and you still don't correct errors after you've been made aware of them. Your remarks about video games, Ohio and being a genius are really the limit. Give it up, leave English wikipedia, please! Markussep Talk 17:01, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't leave Wikipedia, even though I took a lot of edit breaks in late spring and the summer. Even though I did some of the disambiguation pages. I am correcting some translation errors. Either I slow down my editing or I take another but small editing break. Where I am writing, it is in the field of Greek geography, the western and central Peloponnese, Greek entertainment and sports (remaining) and a few including the rest of the articles. Since I almost don't have any ideas left that I knew from that region, I will slowly translate, though my capability of writing is fully yet to be done. Pumpie (talk) 18:28, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid that if you do not leave - or correct errors on your old articles and stop making new ones - you may be re-blocked. "I can't" is not really applicable here. As Markussep said, your answers make it very clear that your language skills are not adequate, and in fact that is again what you are saying - your "capability of writing" is not good enough yet.
You have said many times that you will correct errors - but we mean in your old articles as well as in new ones. Also, you returned to translating from French after you had said you would not. So your promises do not mean very much at this point. I know you think you are benefiting en.wikipedia, but you need to follow through on what you say you will do for us to believe you and help you.
What do you mean, Greek is your native language but English is your speaking language? What is your mother tongue? I cannot believe it is either Greek or English. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:42, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What will I do? I may decide on having a small editing break from Wikimedia. When I will correct some articles? I could have some free time correcting some of the articles that I made Pumpie (talk) 20:04, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie, it is up to you what you will do. But if you want to continue contributing here, you need to improve your English skills dramatically. If you really want to help, stop now, go to an English language school, learn how to use English well, and then return to the project. So far, your own "slow improvement" has been glacial in its pace... I would also suggest that you learn Greek, because whether you actually speak it or not (I believe the latter), it is clear that you do not comprehend it anywhere near the level required for translating. And if you intend to continue with Greek articles that are more complex than railway stations, you should also make an extra effort to acquaint yourself with Greek history and culture, because you are constantly getting the names, terms, events, and general context wrong. And this will probably take some years, not weeks or months. You have also by now created thousands of articles, many of them remaining in their original mistranslated state. Your concern should be improving them first before embarking on creating new articles. Not bothering with this, despite repeated prompting, is the one signal and most irritating failure on your part thus far. Bad English and ignorance of certain historical etc details may be forgiven at times, but systematically dumping your mess onto the project with an expectation that someone will clean it up, and without once so far bothering to improve even a single word, can not. I cannot say this any clearer. Shape up, or on the next mangled translation I see, I will ask for a permanent block. Constantine 19:36, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When I returned from the first block, I corrected most of the sentences in Wikipedia for new articles and one new article has its sentences almost correct. Most of the names are correct. I will not mess up translations, but if I nearly make it, I may take another editing break. But I can do some disambiguation pages and redirects. Pumpie (talk) 19:56, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You were unblocked on 14 October. Don't get me started on the errors you made since. I notified you several times about your errors, but I see very little improvement. You didn't answer my questions about Salmoni, you didn't correct a single one of the errors I found in Klassiki periptosi vlavis, and half of your Karkalou article was actually about the unrelated village Salmoni. Some of your edits are "almost correct". Most of them are incomprehensible, irrelevant or incorrect. Markussep Talk 20:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translations

[edit]

Pumpie, yesterday you translated 5 more French station articles. I picked one at random - one where you had not even gone back and made a 2nd edit - and found all sorts of errors in it, including the wrong station name in the lead paragraph (failure to check after copying and pasting, again), inaccuracy (like platform "in the aisle", but in any case this was again copied and pasted from elsewhere and should have been omitted) guesswork translations (like "freight garage", "walk on each sides of the station" - also an English error - and "comes from Breteuil-sur-Noye and its junction" for the entire paragraph explaining that there was previously a branch line) and things simply left out (such as the entire caption on the 2nd picture and the bit about Breteuil originally having been bypassed by the line). Look at this diff representing work by Markussep and me. You also have not been looking at your watchlist or you would have seen that the "Gare d..." articles are to be renamed to use "station" and that it's List of SNCF stations in Picardy, not Picardie, and evidently the category name Train stations in Picardy is also to be used, not in Picardie. This is unacceptably sloppy work; you are not doing what you said you would, and you are further demonstrating that neither your French nor your English is adequate to do translations. I have to ask why? When are you instead going to start fixing some of your earlier work? You're just increasing the size of teh mountain of work someone else has to do! Yngvadottir (talk) 17:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie, I have some remarks and questions about the article you created today, Salmoni, Ilia:

  • in the edit summary you wrote that it's a translation of el (Greek) wikipedia. Greek wikipedia doesn't have an article about this village, so what's the source of this translation? Where did you get this information from, e.g. the main products of the village, the population data, and whether there's a school etc.
  • you wrote "Between 1981 and 1991, its population lost by half, it nearly did not lost people in 2001." What do you base this conclusion on? No 1981 population is given, and the population actually increased quite a bit between 1991 and 2001.
  • it's not very relevant for this article that there was an earthquake in another village that's 40 km away, is it?

Asked for block

[edit]

Pumpie, I have reported you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Pumpie. Your latest article, Gare de Montreuil-sur-Mer, was a mess again. Since you don't improve or correct your edits I see no other option than to ask for you to be blocked. Markussep Talk 13:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you go here. You can edit there all you want, and there will be far more to do. Competency, particularly in language, is required! S.G.(GH) ping! 15:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If he goes to the Greek Wikipedia with the level of Greek he's displayed so far (which is zero), he'll be blocked right away... Either way, I agree with Markussep. Enough is enough. Constantine 15:24, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I have reimposed the indefinite block. It is clear that the problems that led to the first block have continued without any significant improvement. Looie496 (talk) 19:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have returned. I didn't used my talk page, I was on my break. I don't need to be blocked. The sentence on "Gare de Montreuil-sur-Mer" is what I meant to put: "The railway shares two lines (Amiens-Etaples line) and (Boulogne-Arras-Lille line)." I should slow down my editing so I can correctly save my articles. I don't mean to lack improvement, I am trying to improve. If there is a problem and if I attempt to write another article, I should put it on my page with my user name and the article in which where it is going to save after some corrections. And If my upcoming pages does not goes well, I will have to go to another subject. Note I will have my ability to type Greek after I download the unit that features Greek. Where I can download Greek typing skills If I can't find them but there is somewhere on my computer? And incase I have a few problems in my editing, I will write that "I should take a break until my English skills have been improved". Another one, I may be unblocked, but I may edit later when I am more skilled here. I should be more careful on parts of the article creation. Since I have my test page, my test page may have to be used for some upcoming articles but briefly split into more pages until the sentences have been corrected by skilled users that are mostly not administrators. I am likely to take another editing break on Sunday (Halloween) to combat my spelling and article pasting problems.

Pumpie (talk) 15:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie, you're still blocked. You miscopied the unblock request template. I'm afraid this is another sign that your English is very weak.
We do not have time to fix your articles for you. Why do you assume we will? It's faster just to translate them ourselves. Please, take an English class or at least buy a grammar! In any case, you said before that you were going to put your articles on a subpage first. But you didn't. You just went back to posting them straight to mainspace. You have also told us Greek and English are your native languages. I for one don't believe you any more, which reduces my willingness to help you. If you want help, you need to start telling the truth; but in any case it's too late, now you need to appreciably improve your English first before you will be allowed to edit articles again. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:55, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have understand that I was blocked because there aren't any users left that are skilled in English and in translations, I will try not to continue disruption and I made a promise to make useful contributions. I will try to contact another user because I never contacted more users than me. As I said, the next contributions will be better and I will slow down on my edits, I will check for corrections in each article. When I am unblocked, I promise I will take a break out of editing before I return since I did several months ago. I am not lying that I will do corrections in each article. On my improvement of English, my English has been improved, only a few sentences are not, my English-French dictionary is large and I have no room for space to put it, I use it from my mind. I will continue English-Greek translations but not on long and longer articles which is difficult and sloppy to translate long articles, it will create a mess on Wikipedia, that will go to a subpage until all corrections are made and nearly long articles will go to a subpage as well. Pumpie (talk) 18:39, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but again, you don't seem to understand english well enough to contribute here constructively.
Please believe us. I am not trying to be mean. But you don't. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 19:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not lying, I will slowly contribute here but only from Greek into English first. Do not block my anonymous account though. I will promise a break out of editing. I have to translate a few more geographic articles from Greece and articles about Arcadia, incase if they are long, I will make a promise that I will put it into a subpage, I'll figure it how to put it in. I'm not mean too. Later, I will translate more articles which will be more correct and little or no summaries. Pumpie (talk) 19:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pumpie - it is great that you want to help. However, many people have suggested that you really need to improve your English language skills before contributing. You seem to be saying that your English has improved and that you will make sure there are no mistakes before you save articles, and put your work in subpages while you are working on longer articles.
I agree with you in that it does seem as though your English has improved. Just looking at your talk page, comments you are making now can be understood much better then those from months ago. That being said, there is overwhelming consensus that you need to improve your English further before editing. If I understand the discussion that has taken place correctly, what you need to do is demonstrate that you can type in English without making multiple grammatical errors. Thus far, you have not done so - I know you disagree, however even your latest post (19:17 UTC) had multiple errors.
You seem to really want to contribute here, which I think everyone agrees is a good thing. It seems that everyone simply wants you to have the tools to do so skilfully. If your English improves dramatically, there is no doubt that you will be an extremely valuable contributor to Wikipedia.
Please, take the advice you are getting here to heart and take an (or another) English class. Then, come back here and ask to be unblocked, explaining what you have done do improve your English and what you will do to ensure there are few problems in the future. I think that if you were to do this, you would find a lot of people much more inclined to lift your block, and help guide you along the way. PGWG (talk) 20:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I promise I will put my articles (difficult to translate) into my subpages. Another one, I never been to college, not even a university, the tuition fees were high ten years ago and were above the CPI. And also slouching is not a priority, one part leads to discomfortness especially with your hands to your head, I haven't slouch in years, it is not part of my society. I will also later set up my myspace/Facebook page. I've already asked to be unblocked. I've been reading articles along with Wikisource, Wiktionary entries and appendices, Wikisource, quotes and sports articles. My improvements will arrive and some help guide even in my subpages. Pumpie (talk) 22:10, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you're understanding here. No amount of promises from you will get you unblocked. The only thing that will is a dramatic increase in your understanding of English, which only a few years(if even two) would manage to accomplish. This isn't something that can be done in a few weeks or months. The other points mentioned.. not fixing the errors you have made.. not creating articles in your userspace first.. they are all secondary to the main point; your understanding of English. Promising to fix the secondaries while not fixing the primary doesn't fix the problem. You need to take English courses, and only when you have shown dramatic improvement, you may be unblocked. I cannot say for certain as I am not the community, but if you do show dramatic improvement, it would definitely work towards your unblock.— dαlus Contribs 22:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Just to be absolutely clear; it isn't good enough 'to improve while editing'. You must have 'improved dramatically' before you can be unblocked.— dαlus Contribs 22:49, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand. I have learned most of the English grammar. I will promise I will fix errors on some of the articles that I made, I will create articles on my userspace first. For new users entering Wikimedia, they are not entered until they do some tests and longer tests until their English is skilled. It takes weeks or months for new users to enter Wikimedia. Instead, put me on a semi-block, it means that the preview will work but the saving will not work. Also I will be on a break, If I continue floppily, I will stop for a while. I am going to slow down even more on my edits. Pumpie (talk) 23:37, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also where I am editing and creating, there is only a few users that can correct spelling and properly translate. There some of the articles there have incorrect spelling, the spelling from there shall be correct, more correct than there. I have made a promise that I will use my userpage for some of the planned articles. I will accept that I will not to break this promise, I will use the userpage or to shorter articles, I will have to think twice or more and be extra careful for article corrections. All of the corrections will have to be done by myself (the errors will be a minor one). That was my explanation to the newest articles I ever made before somebody made me another block. Only a few articles were ever checked for correction by other users, I will be more careful on that and use extra caution on grammar and its corrections, this will be nearly slowly. Pumpie (talk) 15:29, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will return and make more corrections and improve my editing skills here. Will I ever use an online English-Greek dictionary so I can translate better? I am not sure it could be done or one website that I could find to translate a word. I will improve on my editing skills but I will require some breaks here, I will make fewer edits than last month, I am not joking, I will improve on these skills. Pumpie (talk) 20:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We aren't joking either. You will not continue editing. If you do, that is block evasion. Go take an english class. Come back in a year, because until you do that, your chances of being unblocked are 0%.— dαlus Contribs 01:47, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your anonymous account

[edit]

Pumpie, please do not continue to edit Wikipedia using the anonymous account that you mention above, or any other account.

This is considered block evasion and it is taken very seriously. It will be discovered and it will cause more big problems for you, on both accounts.

--Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:10, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not using my anonymous account, it doesn't work anymore. My other account doesn't work also. Now I will have to temporarily stop editing for now, If my improvement in English in editing is a little, I will stop editing. Pumpie (talk) 23:40, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements on Pumpie

[edit]

I will promise that I will edit better on Wikipedia. I will not mess up or cause disruption to Wikipedia. My edits will improve and become more better. I will slow down on my edits and I will have to think twice on spelling corrections and fix errors. I will use caution and be extra careful on editing articles. I will be on a semi-block which means the preview section will only work. I will take a break, my later breaks may be longer. Pumpie (talk) 14:38, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your English is better here... but quite frankly you should probably figure out how to state this without multiple errors in your grammar. :While I'm not an administrator, I don't think that it is a stretch to say that you have essentially no chance of being unblocked until you can :do so.

I will do without any multiple errors in my grammar or my translation, I may use an online translation (Greek-English), but first, I will have to take some breaks. I may be on a semi-block which means only the preview section could works. Happy Halloween for some of you, Spooky and Kooky. Pumpie (talk) 02:36, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not going to happen. As suggested multiple times to you, go take an English class, an English class that lasts a year. You're not going to be unblocked before that; this was a community decision, not something a single admin can overturn just like that. Making such promises as you have above here is pointless. Go take that English class, then return and show us you've changed. Anything else is pointless, because you aren't going to be unblocked otherwise.— dαlus Contribs 06:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken most of my English grammar in my English class when I was in high school. and I even worked on my translations to improve it, even on my user page. I can do without any multiple errors in my grammar. Even though I have definitely promise that I will take more editing breaks, I will edit again but I don't know where I am going to edit but I will save it into my userpage first (sections). If I only get my spelling mostly correct, I'm on a break, I will not continue. I am not pointless here, only a few parts, but I took my English class when I was in high school. I am the person who took the English class but I will slow down my edits. No way, I want to be semi-blocked (partially blocked), only the preview section will work. I will disallow myself to discontinue reading using my preview section but I cannot edit. I am not fooling around here. My editing problem could be linked with hypertension which I'm cutting that. I need to start using my userpage, think I am not improving, I will improve even when I use my online dictionary If I could. My translations will start in my userpage, the rest I will correct it myself. I will only do minor edits first (disambiguation pages). I could partly leave Wikipedia but not fully, when I leave, I want to be on a semi-block which means the editing section will not work. I need to read, I am going places soon. I want to read using the preview section but my edits will not work unless I do minor edits that are not stubs. So much reading and I don't want to lose my energy and my capability. When I am a different place, I could do another subject, I have yet to accept that. Another way of improving more of my English is when I read more pages, (though the spelling needs to be correct), not only my English class or comparing with a non-English word. I have yet to write Greek in my keyboard. I don't need any more hypertension. I am not a middle class resident. I've answered some or most of my editing problems and I will not create more, my edits are to be slower, not my typing skills. Also, my edits will improve if I read more here since I took most of my English class and I have more knowledge of my grammar but some in Greek, my French and Spanish grammar are partly good. Though not blocked, I will not return to Wikisource but I can still log in, I will not return to Wikiquote but the same thing, I will not return to Wikibooks but I can read there, where I am I have no links to try to read there but I will read there later. Do you have a testing page for me there so I can type some sentences every time I improve more. I will promise that I will not create an article until the spelling is checked and corrected on my userpage. My English-Greek translations will continue to improve on my userpage section, a separate page in my user page as a correction page. I have explained some of my editing problems that I had before, I can't reexplain some. Pumpie (talk) 14:01, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I really think that you need to be able to ask to be unblocked without making tons of grammatical errors before an administrator will consider unblocking you. In your statement above I count at least 16 errors in grammar or punctuation... when the reason for your block is disruptive editing related to your use of the English language, I daresay that number probably needs to be smaller.
Nobody is treating you as a 'middle class resident' - everyone who has commented on your talk page genuinely wants you to be able to participate on Wikipedia. You state that reading more will help you - you do not need to be able to edit in order to read. Why do you want to read using the:preview section versus the regular view?
I understand that you took an English class in high school - and it has, I am sure, helped you get your English to the point it is at now. That being said, the point it is at now simply does not allow you to be able to constructively contribute to Wikipedia. This is not anything negative or derogatory - there is no fault on your part in your English skills. You cannot change the education, upbringing, or experiences you have had to this point - you can, however, change what you do in the future. Please, take some time to take a class and then come back. I can almost guarantee that if you come back speaking more fluently, you will be welcomed with open arms. PGWG (talk) 17:49, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for my explanation. I was a middle class resident, I am not, I will try to ask again to be unblocked and I will slow down by edits and I will have more edit breaks to hammer down grammar and punctuation errors. I do not change the education and upbringing. I will continue to read instead of taking a class, when I say college, it will be something else. I can avoid the use of spelling errors after reading some articles. I was having trouble finding the correct English name title for Greek films, one of my problems. I want to read using the preview section and the regular view, both of them. I will not do too many topics, I will likely to do a few topics instead of many. Will I ever be semi-blocked? Gotta be more fluent in English and Greek.

I am sure you will be unblocked when your English is better. Maybe in a year or so?
Another thing that would be useful is to tell us what your native language is. Before, you said it is Greek, but this does not seem to be correct. Incorrect information is not useful.
--Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:32, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not in a year I will be unblocked, I have known that I will lower my edits or not to edit for a while. Not in a year my English will be better. Some of the articles that I had made. My primary language that I speak is English. I have a high IQ but will catch up in my editing skills. I should be a better genius. My native language is Greek and is correct. I mostly speak English since I've watched movies and read books but I will seriously type better and more correctly. I am taking a break from editing Greek entertainment articles for some time, I will edit other stuff, but my translations has seriously to improve. My improvements is not for pretend and fake.

Is there a semi-block? My other problem was that I was rushing and editing fast here, last year, I was trying not to rush but I failed. Some months ago, I nearly stoped rushing. I have failed to stop rushing but when I really come back, I will not rush in my upcoming articles and translations. I will not only think twice but four times to fix articles, not to rush, even when I hear music, I will not rush to write, I will still type fast but I cant rush. I may not type fast but to a point where I cannot create errors or rush and write. One article where I have pasted was with correct spelling, not incorrectly. I could not mix it with incorrect ones. Pumpie (talk) 20:55, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are not getting it. You still seem to have the impression that you are going to be unblocked before a years' time. This is not the case, and no amount of saying otherwise will change it. You are not going to be able to come back until at least a years' time, and you have shown that you have dramatically improved your grammar, hopefully with an English class.— dαlus Contribs 21:04, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not lying, I am really going to correct sentence and I am not pretending to correct spelling but I will edit slowly. I will edit not as much as last time but I will be more cautious. I am not pretending here, I will not edit as much as last time, it will not be sloppy, it will not be messy. I will not mess up with my spelling errors I will try not to create any. It doesn't take that long to become fluent in English to the people with high IQs. I have a high IQ and it is going higher, I have the brilliance but I need to do better even though I am not going to edit as much, I will not even rush and I will be more intelligent in mind. I haven't know this but I will be more careful this time. Pumpie (talk) 22:10, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am a brilliant one and I am not pretending to do better in editing properly here. I will absolutely write perfectly and properly, this is not for pretend. First I will not edit as much pages as I was, I will edit only around two pages in my userspage per day first (especially long articles). It will not be saved until the article is examined by me. It has been explained. I am not writing even more of it. Pumpie (talk) 22:44, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you are brilliant, then listen to me this time. You will not be able to come back until a year has been passed. More denial like the above, instead of saying something akin to 'alright, I get it, I'll go take an English class and come back in a year, much better than before', and I will ask for this talk page to be protected for a year, to drive in the point I have been repeating ad nauseum; there will be no editing by you because you are blocked indefinitely. You are blocked until such time not before that of a year, that you demonstrate dramatically improved grammar and English. That is what the community has decided, and nothing is going to change that aside from what I previously mentioned. Simply affirming that you will do better is not good enough, nor will it ever be. I have lost my patience with you, so, as I said, more of the above, and I will request that you lose the ability to contribute to this page, for a year.— dαlus Contribs 23:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have explained all of the above, my promise has been made. I have learned about 85% of the English grammar here from the class. I just wanted to return in a few days. I don't want to lose my patience. Well actually I was just waiting for another administrator that hasn't talked to me yet or an administrator that is a newcomer. This is my last time that I am trying do better than the last, this time I am not going to fail. Pumpie (talk) 00:35, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have really given you good faith here, and I have patiently tried to tell you that there was no hope, unless you returned in a year's time with dramatic improvement. I really, really do hate to say it, but it seems that good faith was unwarranted. 'A newbie administrator'? All that shows us, is that you can't really be trusted. That you were hoping to trick a user who had just become an admin into unblocking you. Because of this, I am now requesting that your talk page, and email privilages be revoked, until such time that a year has passed. The above shows that you cannot be trusted with either.— dαlus Contribs 01:07, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have explained. I have known 85% of the grammar at my English class. There is hope, I will return but I want to be asked by an another user that is an administrator that had never been an administrator before. My sentences will be improved, I will be returning soon when I have known 100% of my grammar at my English class and my other subjects. I don't want to be nervous anymore, I will return and this time, for the better and I will not make any mistakes in my grammar. If I wasn't nervous, I will have my grammar perfect. Thanks. I am going to return and I am gonna slowly write better on the Wikipedia. Pumpie (talk) 02:21, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In other words you want to talk someone who you feel may unblock you, as they are not yet versed in administration; experience. Not going to happen. This has been brought up on ANI, and is not looking well for you. I suggest you stop posting here, you're only making it worse for yourself with the above.— dαlus Contribs 04:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I am glad that I am going to be unblocked again. It has been accepted and I promise that I will do no errors again. I will return to Wikipedia.

Nowhere in that thread is it suggested you're going to be unblocked. In fact, another admin suggested we just block you forever and be done with it. As I said, I suggest you stop posting here. You continued denial is not helping things for you.— dαlus Contribs 21:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Information about Greek villages

[edit]

Pumpie, I have an important question for you. In hundreds of articles about places in Greece, you wrote about the land use, which crops are produced, how many schools, post offices and churches are there, how much of the area was affected by fires and earthquakes etc. etc. These things are usually not in the Greek articles you "translated". So my question is: where did you get this information from? You know I've asked you before, but you haven't answered. If we can't verify the information, I think we have to remove it. Markussep Talk 11:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A friendly suggestion

[edit]

If your first language is Greek, you could try editing the Greek Wikipedia instead. DS (talk) 11:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have had a look at his contributions there. Full of grammatical and syntax errors, and all his edit summaries are in English. After being told off by several users, he has stopped contributing new content for several years now. Given that he has failed even once to produce any evidence that he is capable of writing in Greek on his own (his Greek WP articles are usually dab pages and hence most likely copy-pastes), and as he has not once replied in Greek either here or in the Greek WP, his claim of being a native Greek speaker is, if not a lie, then a very big exaggeration... Constantine 12:12, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I could stop using copy-pastes, unless my spelling is absolutely correct. My edit summaries there will be written in Greek since I will also start typing in Greek. I know how to write Greek on my own, I will soon begin to write Greek, before I didn't have a Greek keyboard, I am a first generation foreign born Greek, I have been influenced with ABC, NBC, FOX, ESPN, The CW, Nick TV, I am ready to correct even better, I will save it in my userspace and when an expert user has free time, if it is written "approved" on the bottom of the page, I will save it, if its not "approved" or "dissaproved", I will have to fully correct it. I have replied and I have already replied again. See you later. Pumpie (talk) 20:33, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Markos Vamvakaris requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Sockpuppet investigation

[edit]

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pumpie, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Epeefleche (talk) 20:56, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Venda Nova

[edit]

The article Venda Nova has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This disambiguation page lists four articles: two of them do not exist, one has a slightly different title and only one matches the page name. This page should be deleted so I can move Venda Nova (Brazil) to just Venda Nova and leave a on top of it so people searching for Vendas Novas still get what they searched for.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The article Stavros Tsiolis has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

A tag has been placed on Cossourado (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —KuyaBriBriTalk 03:18, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Psilalonia Square

[edit]

Hello Pumpie,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Psilalonia Square for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
