I note that you have added a whole lot of new links to Distributed power (and the danish Distribueret_elproduktion that are more appropriately Renewable energy. I have just expanded the basic article. Can you please review all those links as I do not think a lot of them are really appropriate to this topic but should be on some other more appropriate page. Would you also like to translate the english to danish? ---- kiwiinapanic 10:28 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Your article on Distributed power would be more accurately titled Distributed generation. It is an article which fits well into the series of articles on electricity, electricity market, electric power transmission, electricity generation, and electricity distribution, which I have been working on. Distributed power is more about the distribution of power whereas "distributed generation" is a topical subject associated with how local generation can contribute to how future electricity needs can be met. I agree with kiwiinapanic that there are too many unrelated links. I would be happy to cooperate with you on the article, if you wish. Tiles 05:46 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hello, Glenn. I removed the links to news articles from Archaeology because the article could very quickly get too long if we carried on including them. It would be different if you could guarantee to update that section at regular intervals. See Talk:Archaeology for a fuller explanation. Deb 14:01, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Hi Glenn, I've removed links from the scientific name of eg Whooper Swan because it's a self link back to the article. It's better just to create the redirect from Cygnus cygnus, which is already the case for, eg American style lower case versions like Whooper swan.
You can create the redirect article from the browser navigation bar, without having a real link.

Hi, I've moved Ringnecked Pheasant to Common Pheasant, and redirected all the numerous links to that. I hope this makes sense, if not we had better discuss it before we get into an edit war (although I'll be out most of today). You seem to have Green Pheasant as a subspecies, my book gives it as a species, but I've no strong views on that.jimfbleak 05:38, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Glenn, in case nobody else has shown their appreciation, I'd like to thank you for all your work cross-referencing with the Danish wikipedia. Josh
Hello. Stop making Kielesguhr link to itself as I've said before. I can understand making the mistake once, but to insist on it even after corrected I do not understand. Morwen 10:44, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)
Hi - please don't make self-links - that is articles that link to a redirect to the same page. It is a waste of time for someone clicking on them. People keep removing them but you keep readding them! Secretlondon 10:46, Dec 27, 2003 (UTC)
- Sorry I forgot. But it is convinient to check if all references are present and point to the right article. Glenn 11:19, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Hello! I have a request, assuming that you speak dannish... (Actually my father grew up in Copenhagen) Can you translate the Pachypodium lamerei of the danish wiki to the english? We have some Pachypodiums but not that one. Cheers! Muriel Victoria 16:09, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Hello Muriel
- Your assumption is correct - I am a dane - and from Copenhagen.
- I have translated the article about Pachypodium lamerei. I have got Madagascar Palms two times, but this is now a long time ago. regards, Glenn 11:42, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I have added the correct photo to Night-blooming cereus (Selenicereus grandiflorus). Thank you for moving the other image to the right article. Perl 15:38, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hello Glenn
I assume since you are Danish that you are not Glenn, but I thought you might be interested in knowing there is an article with that name. 66.245.208.69 22:36, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 18:08, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
