Grabowski edit

You might be interested to learn that I made a table of all his international appearances from a very handy table here. You can transfer it to the german page if you so desire, although you'll need to change some Town names (Warsawa, Frankfurt am Main, München). --Tiresais 19:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Tiresais. I put a weblink to the German WP-site.--Eastfrisian 15:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Soyuz TMA-9 edit

As you have perhaps seen, I have managed to have the logo you were complaining about removed. We have something quite ugly now, and I am not sure it is really free either; so now, do you have any suggestion regarding were we could get a nice TMA-9 logo which could be used by wikipedia.

Btw, maybe you have seen I have put lots of links from the English wikipedia to spacefacts.de, on the astronauts pages. I do hope this brings you visitors. Hektor 13:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Name edit

Hello, That is very interesting that my name is common from where you live. I never knew where my family was originally from. I've never met another Helmerichs (other than the ones I am related to), so it would be interesting to met one someday. Thank you very much for this info.

Regarding your edit to Miha Likar, please have a look at WP:DATELINK. Dates are not usually linked, unless the date article being linked to is of significance to the topic in question. Thanks and happy editing. --Jameboy (talk) 08:35, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

By the way, I just looked at a few articles on the German Wikipedia and it seems as though birth dates are linked on there, which explains your edit. I am surprised that different Wikipedias don't follow a consistent approach on this. --Jameboy (talk) 08:48, 12 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Sergey Prokopyev (cosmonaut) edit

 

The article Sergey Prokopyev (cosmonaut) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
