Dear The Steve,

Many thanks for your interest, indeed. My sincere apologies to reply you considerably late, however; having a tough week out here, it was a little difficult to make a prompt answer. Well, I have checked the mentioned article of K-1 after your first message, while you were working phase on that, which is a brilliant piece of work. But, despite I'm very glad for your efforts, sincerely hoping it's going to turn out to be a constant help for martial arts related article; it does not change the reality that there is a deletion swelling run around, by certain people. This fashion is, indeed, a decent example of present day inquisition as I've commented that way you saw in a recent relisted log. There's a lack in Wikipedia's system right on this topic. The logs are not announced on a proper level, where limited number of people attend, no matter what their knowledge is about the topic, but those can make comment would directly effect on the destiny of the articles. I'm seeing such thing spreading around rapidly, which likely to jeopardise the reputation of Wikipedia itself. 

I can make a comprehensive research (which I could already do if I'd have some more time) to explain the situation in details. Whatever the situation is and going to be, it is definite that Wikipedia will continue to lose valuable contributors, people who just love here and try to help in accordance with their interest, people who has no stake behind this, people who fed up and already quit due to this stuff, in which they were left as minorities to defend the values they handled - which are as "notable" as Himalayas, Big Ben, World War II, Marlyn Monroe, New York style pizza, Malaria in Namibia, Amazons, Google, Jesus sculpture in Rio, Jean Pascal, or Canadian Curling National Team. 

Glad to meet you, Keep in touch, Best Regards, [[User:Umi1903|Umi1903]] ([[User talk:Umi1903|talk]]) 22:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Steve. May I ask you a couple of questions?

What is [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rafael_Nadal&diff=prev&oldid=462215156 gr] short for? 

In [[Special:Contributions/Thesteve|your contributions]], shouldn't one strive to supply more Edit Summaries, as the guideline seems to be to summarise all edits except maybe 'm' ones?

== Is it possible that I might have disruptively edited the Marcel Gleffe article ==


1. When I forget to take my medicine,  new accounts have been created (from the closest computer at hand) on websites where I already have an account. The creation of the article, from which the following quote has '''the feel''' of some of my work:

"'''Marcel Gleffe''' (born 1979 in [[Teterow]], Germany) is a German living in [[Norway]] who saved the lives of several people during the [[2011 Norway attacks# Utøya massacre|massacre]] on the island of [[Utøya]].<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8658437/Norway-shooting-German-tourist-hailed-a-hero-after-saving-30-lives.html</ref>  He became known in Germany as the "Saviour of Utøya" (''Retter von Utøya''). He was awarded the Officer's Cross of the [[Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany]]. (Early life) From March 1999 to July 2000, Gleffe was a conscript, serving in the air defences of the German army. He extended his military service to take part in a deployment to [[Kosovo]]. He left the ''[[Bundeswehr]]'' as  a ''[[Rank insignia of the German armed forces|Hauptgefreiter der Reserve.]] 

He has lived in [[Siggerud]], Norway since 2008.<ref name="dagbladet">http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/07/24/nyheter/innenriks/terror/utoya/anders_behring_breivik/17436710/</ref> ( Utøya massacre)
On 22 July 2011, during the [[Utøya massacre|attack on the island of Utøya]], he saved lives by departing the pier at [[Utvika]] (when he heard shots being fired at [[Utøya]]) with his motor boat (for 6 people<ref>http://www.kellox.no/index.php?id=10005</ref>, model "Pioner 15"), and throwing life vests to fleeing swimmers while heading for Utøya, and picking up refugees of the massacre.<ref>http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/12/20/nyheter/arets_navn/utoya/taktekker/arets_navn_2011/19472869/</ref> (He came within 20-30 meters of the shore of the island, after having seen the killer in the vicinity of the island's pump house.<ref>http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/12/20/nyheter/arets_navn/utoya/taktekker/arets_navn_2011/19472869/</ref>) He loaded up his boat 5 times, before police requested him to stop what he was doing.<ref>http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/12/20/nyheter/arets_navn/utoya/taktekker/arets_navn_2011/19472869/</ref> By then he had pulled 20-25 people from the water.<ref>http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/12/20/nyheter/arets_navn/utoya/taktekker/arets_navn_2011/19472869/</ref><ref name="dagbladet"/>
(Honours) On 27 September 2011, Gleffe was awarded the ''Ehrenabzeichen in Gold'' by  the ''Verband der Reservisten der Deutschen Bundeswehr''. One day later, he received the media prize, the [[Goldene Henne]], and on 4 October 2011 he received the Officer's Cross of the [[Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany]].

A Norwegian magazine ([[Ny Tid]]) voted Gleffe as "Norwegian of the year 2011" (together with [[Synnøve Kvamme]] and [[Prableen Kaur]]).<ref>http://www.nytid.no/perspektiver/artikler/20111215/derfor-er-de-_arets-nordmenn_/</ref> His award was given for "by risking his own life, he placed himself as the first on the scene with a boat to save members of [[AUF]] who were swimming for their lives, away from death. Gleffe has until now received 4 citations of merit in his nation of birth, also from the president of Germany, but no citations of merit in the nation where he resides — and where he saved over 20 lives."<ref>http://www.nytid.no/perspektiver/artikler/20111215/derfor-er-de-_arets-nordmenn_/ "Kåring ... ved Utvika den 22. juli, som hørte skuddene på Utøya, og som med fare for sitt eget liv var den første på pletten med båt for å redde AUF-ere som svømte fra døden og for livet. Gleffe har inntil nå fått fire priser i sitt fødeland, også fra Tysklands president, men ingen pris i det landet han bosatte seg i og der han reddet over 20 unge menneskeliv."</ref>

*What do you think I should do (apart from following doctor's advice), in respect to that article? Is it possible that I have made any disruptive edits in regards to the article? --[[User:Aksstar|Aksstar]] ([[User talk:Aksstar|talk]]) 12:46, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for February 18==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Board game]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Matara]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Board_game|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Board_game|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 11:36, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

== Blast from the past for you ==

[[commons:File:WishingSteps.jpg]] is one of yours. When it was transferred to Commons from en.wiki it was carrying [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:MultiLicenseWithCC-BySA-Any&oldid=2924658 this license], which is meant for text contributions only and doesn't seem like a valid license for an image on Commons (the template is now invalid and I'm going through the ~12 files which still have it for some reason). I wondered if you would take some time to pick a license (any license!) for the file so we can continue to host it.
