Hello DerHexer, welcome to the Dutch Wikipedia! Welkomstbericht in het Nederlands Thank you for participating in this community project. We would like to give you the opportunity to be free and productive. Here are a few directions that might help you: A collection of useful links in English can be found on Help:English. Please use our Sandbox (zandbak) for experimenting. Feel free to add your expertise to Wikipedians by interest, and to use our Babel templates (taalsjablonen) on your user page. Wikipedia has been an ongoing project for several years now. There have been discussions on many issues in the past. Please check the discussion pages (overlegpagina's) if you are in doubt about the contents of a given page. If you want to make a careful start editing in Dutch, try to expand some of our stubs (beginnetjes). Take care when editing someone else's work. Registered users can change the name of an article by using "Titel wijzigen". This method of renaming keeps the history (geschiedenis) of a page intact.

Hi DerHexer - welcome here from a Dutch colleague. Let me know when you need contact about cross-wiki vandalism since I have the same pet-peeve as a sysop here. Greetings, MoiraMoira _overleg 24 okt 2007 22:05 (CEST)

Hehe, thank you! By the way, I'm working at meta:SWMT. Regards, DerHexer 25 okt 2007 23:49 (CEST)

Just a small question

Hi DerHexer,

Does suprema a situ mean beste door positie positie might also be locatie (English is Supreme by position). What do you think? I ask you this because my Latin is... rusty at best, and my medical Latin is better. Dqfn13 (overleg) 25 feb 2014 22:57 (CET)

Depends on the context. “From the highest place” is suitable too. Cheers, DerHexer (overleg) 25 feb 2014 23:16 (CET)

It is the motto of the coat of arms of Wellington, New Zealand. As can be seen here. Dqfn13 (overleg) 25 feb 2014 23:58 (CET)

“supreme by position” fits as well as “supreme by location” as situs means boths. Thus, it's either the good position of the city in the world or the good area of the place. Cheers, DerHexer (overleg) 26 feb 2014 00:08 (CET)

Language

Hi DerHexer, in case the language barrier might pose a problem for the users currently without a SUL account, there are a couple of Dutch-speaking users (Savh, SPQRobin, Taketa, Trijnstel and me) who have indicated here (at the old page for requesting account renames) they can be contacted if help is needed. Just so you know. Please let me know if you'd like me to translate your message. Kind regards, Mathonius 5 jan 2015 14:00 (CET)

You can watch my edits and offer your help. Highly appreciated. :-) Cheers, DerHexer (overleg) 5 jan 2015 14:02 (CET)

Deleting old wikipedia page

Hi DerHexer Can you help me? A former bandmember made a wikipedia page a few years ago and he won't give us the login id to delete or edit the page. We want to edit the page or even make a new one. Can you help us?? Thanks – De voorgaande bijdrage werd geplaatst door SanderCamps (overleg · bijdragen) 6 jan 2015 20:14‎

Hi Sander, these questions have been answered at the help desk. Further questions will probably be answered there as well. Regards, Mathonius 6 jan 2015 20:52 (CET)

Global account

Dear DerHexer,

I suppose I realized my global account, but I'm not certain. Will you please check? Thanks, Piero (overleg) 13 jan 2015 15:59 (CET)

According to Special:CentralAuth/Piero, you only merged your nlwiki account. Do you have other usernames on the remaining projects like for exaple commonswiki? Once we stewards have an account merge tool which is expected for late January 2015, we could merge your names as long as they all have completed global accounts. If any of the other Piero accounts are yours, you can merge them by submitting their passwords on Special:MergeAccount. Please ping me once you're done so that I can rename these accounts that are usurable according to m:Usurpation policy. Cheers, DerHexer (overleg) 13 jan 2015 16:13 (CET)

No accounts on the name "Piero" but "Pierotreruote" on commons and "sidecardogbobo" on wikidata. Is this only about the accounts named "Piero"? Piero (overleg) 13 jan 2015 20:04 (CET)

Piero Yes, that's what I meant. As soon as we stewards can use the account merge tool and you have two or more completed global accounts, I can merge them very easily. Cheers, DerHexer (overleg) 13 jan 2015 23:47 (CET)

So we're done for now?Piero (overleg) 14 jan 2015 10:58 (CET)

Unfortunately yes. Cheers, DerHexer (overleg) 14 jan 2015 11:24 (CET)

Hello DerHexer, i have activated my global account for the Dutch, German and English Wikipedia. Hopefully everything is alright, Greetings, Peters01 (overleg)..... Peters01 19 jan 2015 18:06 (CET)

@Peters01: I've usurped all local accounts per m:Usurpation policy as they had no visible edits. Your global account is now completed. :-) Cheers, DerHexer (overleg) 19 jan 2015 19:17 (CET)

Patio

Dear DerHexer,

I have a global account, but it's blocked by a local admin :-( User:ZeaForUs The username Patio on e.g. Wikipedia in Afrikaans is not me. Now what? Easiest would be unblock ZeaForUs as requested at our Arbitragecommissie. Thoughts?  Klaas|Z4␟V:  12 feb 2015 22:41 (CET)

If you suggest something, then be completely honest to DerHexer about what happened. You were blocked for abuse of sockpuppets and you then used the escape clause. When asked which account you wanted to use, you chose to use your non-SUL account Patio and not you SUL account ZeaForUs. Mbch331 (Overleg) 18 feb 2015 10:01 (CET)

Trying to influence justice, Mbch331? The question is if I was abusing my sockpuppet. Only ArbCom will decide if it was and if so an unlimited block was justified in this specific case. We'll see sooner or later. Kind regards from  Italië,  Klaas|Z4␟V:  18 feb 2015 10:43 (CET)

Not at all. Just telling what happened. I'm only giving the facts. I'm not telling whether you were abusing sockpuppets or not. I'm only saying you were blocked for that reason. And that you made the choice for Patio when using the escape clause. Mbch331 (Overleg) 18 feb 2015 10:47 (CET)

I repeat: To judge is the task of our ArbCom, not your's, soit. Gedane zaken nemen doorgaans geen keer. Perhaps someone sees here an exception that proves the "rule". Kind regards,  Klaas|Z4␟V:  18 feb 2015 19:55 (CET)

Robert

Hallo DerHexer,

I have followed your instructions (I think...) and now I have a global account on nl. and en.wikipedia. But not on the others. Now what?

Vielen Dank, Robert (overleg) 12 feb 2015 22:45 (CET)

Is there any more action required for a global account (i.e. the same login on all wiki's)? I'm not sure I've taken all the necessary steps. --Robert (overleg) 16 feb 2015 21:55 (CET)
