User talk:Ra'ike

First Welcome

Andere Länder, andere Sitten. Hier gibt's also ein halbes Portal zur Begrüßung. Na ja, meine Grüße kommen dafür altmodisch ganz persönlich und ohne jeden Bot daher. ;-) --Schwalbe 19:53, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Och Du, so nette Begrüßungen gibt's in de-Wikipedia auch (und größer). Wär's aber nicht höflicher den ausschließlich englisch sprechenden Nutzern gegenüber, wenn die Unterhaltung hier in der hiesigen "Amtssprache" erfolgen würde ;-) ? Gruß -- Ra'ike talk de-user 22:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC) and it's training for me, too.[reply]

OK, werd mich mühen. ;-) BTW: the training center is right around the corner - Level 1 or Level 2. --Schwalbe 13:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thank you for the advices, I didn't know them. I though want to translate the Systematik der Minerale first. greeting -- Ra'ike talk de-user 17:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello YourEyesOnly, thank you for your nice greeting. I certainly hope, that I can help here, too. But you know, there is a lot of work in de-wikipedia. Be seeing you and best regards -- Ra'ike talk de-user 08:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

YEO is kidding. How can he assume, that an admin on de: does not know, how to sign on an english talk page. ;-) --Schwalbe 12:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Really?!? I thought, it's his deadly earnest ;-)). -- Ra'ike talk de-user 17:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nickeline

Hi, why do you want to delete a REDIRECT? If Nickeline is a synonyme for Niccolite, then Nickeline should redirect to Niccolite. Or is it the other way around, and you want to make room for the move? --Magnus Manske 13:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I thought, I had explained the problem exactly...but ok, I try it again: Niccolite is not the correct name for that mineral, it's Nickeline. Look at the links (after the Deletion-template). Mindat-search shows that Niccolite is a synonym of Nickeline and the other Webmineral-search points to the Nickeline Mineral Data. In my Edit-comment I wrote: delete to move Niccolite to Nickeline (official mineralname) (I think, that was the mistake. I should write it in the Deletion-Reason, too). Do you understand it now? Sorry, my english isn't the best. It's long time ago, that I learned it. greetings -- Ra'ike talk de-user 16:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC) if there is something wrong written in my sentences, please correct it, so that I can learn it.[reply]

Ich denke, wir verstehen uns auch so :-) Und der Artikel ist inzwischen auch verschoben, wunderbar. --Magnus Manske 21:40, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Man tut, was man kann oder in der en:WP entsprechend you do, what you can ;-) . Wenn ich mich schon bei den Mineralen wie bei de:WP einbringen will, dann auch richtig. Übrigens darf's ruhig auch weiterhin in englisch sein, ich möchte mich ja schließlich auch darin verbessern. Gruß -- Ra'ike talk de-user 22:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but if you can learn anything from my English remains to be seen ;-) Anyway, you might want to have a look at my minerals and chemicals list of alternative names, if you're into that. --Magnus Manske 17:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much :-) . I have it under observation and on my user page now and I think, it could be a really good help for my work with minerals. Best regards -- Ra'ike talk de-user 06:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC) and what using english concernes, the best way is learning by doing, isn't it?[reply]

Template:Retired

Hello Stifle, could you change the template-protection to autoconfirmed-protected, so that I can edit there, please? Otherwise you have to write [[de:Vorlage:Deaktiviert]] yourself ;-) greetings -- Ra'ike talk de-user 12:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added that interwiki link in. There was some nonsense vandalism by various users and the template is used by many, so I am not going to unprotect it.

For future reference, please note that it's possible to place {{editprotected}} on the talk page of a protected page which will call an admin's attention to the fact that an edit is required. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 16:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you for that important info. But I still think, full-protection for that page is overacting. "T:Retired" exists about one year and since then, there were only [1] [2] [3] vandalism-reverts and only against IPs. So imho semi-protection should be enough. However, you'll know, what's the right way. Best regards from Ra'ike talk de-user 08:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thanks for the revert! I don't know why anyone would want to vandalize my page, I haven't really made any enemies here, but thank you for reverting! :) CarpetCrawler (talk) 22:11, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give you one of these! Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar

Hello CarpetCrawler, You're welcome :-) and don't loose any thought of vandalizing like that. It's not to understand. greetings -- Ra'ike talk de-user 22:18, 3 September 2008 (UTC) ...but nevertheless thank you very much for that nice barnstar.[reply]

Lollingite

I have not deleted this, because redirects are cheap, and a British user might well search without the "ö", and not even know how to make his keyboard produce it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:29, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but could you look to the http://www.mindat.org/min-2426.html page, please? There is a list with Synonyms of Löllingite an one of them is "Loellingite", that I sat in the arcticle and which is the correct alternative word (without ö). So there's no need for the wrong synonym Lollingite. greetings -- Ra'ike talk de-user 23:34, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hello, Ra'ike!

Thank you very much for your support regarding to Mineralogical Barnstar. Next year I’ll place some of your excellent photos of minerals on the pages of corresponding Wikipedia articles.

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!

Regards, Chris Oxford.Chris Oxford (talk) 12:23, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Chris Oxford, thank you for your info and your intention, to use some of my photos. I uploaded the photos just for this purpose ;-)

Best greetings, merry Christmas and a happy New Year for you, too :-) -- Ra'ike talk de-user 13:01, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Wow, what an amazing little owl!

I will place it on my page as a lucky charm.

Great thanks!

All the best.

Coming back.

Hello Ra'ike,

Slowly, but surely I'm coming back to the Wiki space. Recently I found in your list of minerals the picture of Aragonite, which is the way better in quality (clear and without destructing attention shadows), than the one, that I used previously for the illustration of polymorphism in the article Mineralogy. So, I decided to replace it with your perfect picture of Aragonite for the benefit of the article. Just let you know.

A Little Owl is sitting comfortably in/on my page.

All the best. Regards, Chris Oxford. Chris Oxford (talk) 17:19, 30 January 2017 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris Oxford (talk • contribs) 17:09, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
