User talk:Erkabo

Detlef, Michael, Kurt, Rolf-- I was touched to see your message the other day--I am a mathematics graduate student studying Floer homology, and Andreas Floer's work is inspiring to me and a cornerstone of a great deal of my work. (I am both 128.32.77.39 and 198.144.208.190 (a computer on campus and my home computer), but your message prompted me to sign up for an account as "David Farris".). --David Farris, Berkeley, California, USA

Floer article in Spanish Wikipedia

If you wish to request a translation for an article in the Spanish wikipedia, please use the already well set-up system at w:es:Artículos solicitados or contact the community at the local Village Pump. The way you've been acting so far could very well be construed as vandalism by a zealous admin, resulting in a block. Please, abstain from further actions of that kind. Best, Taragüí @ 10:09, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Happy birthday

Happy birthday, Detlef and Michael! I hope you have many more happy ones to come. --C S 04:03, 3 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gundula, unostentatious

Out of modesty, Gundula has decided to take her name away from this userpage. We regret this. But luckily she is still with us, and she is still in it! We enjoy this. Rolf 11:31, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sharing accounts

It would be better for each individual to have their own account. As you probably remember from signing up the first time, making an account only takes a second and does not require an email address or other personal information. Friday (talk) 01:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

links to user pages

Apparently some users, such as User:Zoe, do not like having links to user pages in the references. I suggest a reasonable compromise is to make a webpage (not hosted on the Wikipedia servers) containing some excerpts of our correspondence (containing the relevant stuff and omitting things that maybe are too personal). On such a page there could be an explanation of our Wikipedia interaction and how the article grew. We could also have a link to your user page (as it is relevant to the story). This would also make things easier to verify, e.g. list a way to contact you to verify materials. I could put such a webpage on my university web account, and then put a link to it in the references section of the article. --C S (Talk) 03:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
