Hello Cethegus, welcome to the Dutch Wikipedia! Vlag van Nederland 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.
  • Questions about Wikipedia or for help can be asked at the Helpdesk.
  • To sign messages, use four tildes: ~~~~
  • More information (in Dutch) can be found on our conventions page and the wikiquette page.

Good evening Cethegus, I see that you still manage to write articles here, even if you don't speak Dutch .. Do you use an automatic translator? Or do you translate German literally? If you've got a request for an article you'd like to see in the Dutch wikipedia, you can always drop me a line at my talk page and I'll try to help translate.

Same for me. Grüße, Floris V 31 mrt 2006 01:25 (CEST)Reageren

Thank you very much! - I'm sorry to say I use indeed an automatic translator as I have the opinion that the Wikipedias of different languages should work closer together, as there is a long way to go to the WPs in 100 languages Jimbo Wales wants to see. To make better progress in smaller laguage sections - for instance Afrikan languages - there ought to be "leading" WPs from where smaller sections can take their articles (for the beginning) by translation. As I am not good at languages I try articles with very little text. - But I won't have to do that in Dutch anymore. Thank you. If I may ask for Monira Rahman from thr English or even better th German WP? --Cethegus 1 apr 2006 15:36 (CEST)Reageren

Done: Monira Rahman. Interesting subject by the way. By the way there's also Wikipedia:Vertalen naar Nederlands for requests (although that's probably not used that often). Grüße, «Niels» zeg het eens.. 1 apr 2006 16:12 (CEST)Reageren
As a bonus: Acid Survivors Foundation. «Niels» zeg het eens.. 1 apr 2006 16:28 (CEST)Reageren
Wikipedia:Vertalen naar Nederlands looks like a nice project which should be used more often. I placed it on my follow-up list. FvS | Overleg 1 apr 2006 16:34 (CEST)Reageren

Ganz herzlichen Dank!!! - Jetzt werde ich übermütig und nenne noch drei Artikel, die mir irgendwie am Herzen liegen: Geschichtsbewusstsein, Fluchtabwehr und Student movement für Zeiten, wo du mal nichts Besseres zu tun hast. Gruß --Cethegus 1 apr 2006 18:01 (CEST)Reageren

wilkommen. Ich habe fluchtabwehr ubersetzt, und habe dem artikel sofort in meinem benützerräum hingeweisen geworden gehabt worden. — Zanaq (?) 20 apr 2006 22:01 (CEST)
Thank you very much! You see that I have entered discussion on your overleg. I did it also on the overleg of AlexP. (That does not mean that I am able to understand all arguments in Dutch. But it was helpful to me to see the tendency of the discussion. Please help if I am seriously misinterpreting arguments.) --Cethegus 20 apr 2006 22:20 (CEST)Reageren
