A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, Petr Kopač, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages! That way, others will know who left which comments. You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Simplified Ruleset
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Wikipedia Glossary

And remember:

• Be Bold!,
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off.,
• Learn from others,
• Play nicely with others, and
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!.

• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

• P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

HI, I'm also glad you've spotted me :-) I've had a look on your page and I though you are 2-meter-big spider :-) But, then I realised that spiders can't contribute to Wikipedia... ouch, it isn't your personal photo, but the Picture of the day. A little mistake. Funny.

children's lit pages

Hi, Petr K! I notice you've been interwiking the children's lit pages to the Czech equivalents, which is wonderful. Tell me, do you know anything in particular about Czech children's lit? Because I've been trying to work on the systemic bias toward English-speaking countries in the children's literature pages, but I am, for all practical purposes, monoligual. I'd love help learning more about Czech children's lit. Deborah-jl _Talk 16:30, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, but I doubt I could be much helpful. I've done that, because I try to add interwiki in every category of czech wikipedia (yet done c. 400). But if you'd like to know some common information (what I've learnt at school :-)) about czech literature (children's too), I'd help you as much as I can. Petr K 15:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikics template

Hi Petr! Recently, I created a new template to indicate English Wikipedia users who also contribute to the Czech Wikipedia.

Template:User wikics

Feel free to add it to your userboxes if you like it (and if you actually contribute). Happy Easter. Daniel Šebesta (talk • contribs) 22:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

German (?) philosophers

Greetings, I see that you have added to the category German philosophers in the recent past. I have called for a renaming of the category, and want to invite you to join discussion. The more rational voices, the better. (My suggestion is to rename to "German-language philosophers," so that the category becomes one of language rather than ethnicity.) Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have. Universitytruth 13:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Greetings, I left this commentary on the category page of German philosophers:

This is the issue. It seems to me that what most people care about is important philosophy written in German. Whether written by someone from Heidelberg (in Germany), Koenigsberg (not in Germany, but are you going to exclude Kant?), or Lithuania (Note that no-one has included Salomon Maimon on this list) is interesting, perhaps, for various other reasons.

Do you regard Kant as a German or a Russian philosopher? Universitytruth 22:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd be interested in knowing how you would propose sorting Immanuel Kant and Salomon Maimon. Best, Universitytruth 14:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

My Generation cover

Hi Petr: I created the image by scanning the album cover in four sections and pasting them together. That was done before the menu for copyrights included an "Album cover" choice. I have posted lots of album and EP [4 song 45 rpm records often with graphics on the covers] covers, so you might run into more. However I thought the copyright tag that is there should be enough. No? Carptrash 02:23, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, then, could you please add some information according to Help:Image page? Thank you. Petr K 17:31, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Václav Renč

Hi. I started copyediting your translation of the article Václav Renč, but I got very confused. My main question involves the second paragraph and your use of the word "redacted". I don't really think redacted makes sense in that context, but don't know what you are trying to say. Could you explain it for me? ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 15:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Díky

Díky za pozdrav a pozvání, cením si toho, ale rozhodl jsem se zůstat aktivní pouze na EN Wiki a na CS Wiki příležitostně přispívat jako dosud, jako anonymní IP. S pozdravem, Adam K alias Darwinek 22:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 21:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject

Ahoj Petře. Možná by tě zajímalo podpořit, účastnit se WikiProjektu Czech Republic. Myslím si, že je hodně potřebný, je to cesta jak zvýšit kvalitu článků o ČR na EN Wiki. Můžeš hlasovat nebo komentovat zde: [1]. Přeji hezký den. :) Jinak mrkni na hlasování u článku Waldemar Matuska, o přesunutí do verze s diakritikou. - Darwinek 10:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Please take a few moments and fill in the data for your bot on Wikipedia:Bots/Status Thank you Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 19:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 04:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with O9 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C1. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Wildthing61476 19:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Prague Spring for FA?

Dobry den, Petr:

I don't think many people saw my message on the Czech WikiProject talk page, so now I'm writing to people individually. ;-) I have an idea to share with you: last year, a group of editors (in which I participated) turned Hungarian Revolution of 1956 from an utter worthless mess into an excellent Featured Article, and got it on the Main Page on the 50th anniversary of the uprising. With the 40th anniversary of 1968 coming up next spring, I would love to repeat that success with Prague Spring. I know it's a long time until the actual anniversary, but the sooner we start, the better. (It got pretty hectic with 56, we started in August and the anniversary was in October, which led to a mad dash to the finish--we barely made it.) Would you be interested in working on this? K. Lásztocska 19:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I demand your apologies

20:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC) you made two big lies:

1. that mM have vandalized articles and offended other users, and
2. that I have vandalized any article.

I demand your apologies otherwise I will seek your punishment for breaching WP:NPA. —V. Z. 20:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

First I won't discuss anything with you, untill you admit your own mistakes. Second I won't apologize, because it's nonsense; there is nothing, what could be found offensive from me. It seems you just want to bother anybody around you. If it's your way how to deal with problems, I am not interested in… so far it's not regarding me in any way. I would appreciate if you changed your mind, but I think you've decided already. Do what you think that is right. Petr K 21:22, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

You are not my judge, you have no right for my confession. You lied twice and you intentionally refused to apologize. Your choice. Your sofism cannot change my intention to let sysops teach you NPA. Here is no cs:, here you are no Übermensch. —V. Z. 21:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Ich hab nur gesagt, dass Sie machen sollen, was am besten nach Ihrer Meinung ist. Wenn es heißt noch andere Leute zu langweilen, dann lass Ich es auf Ihnen. Ich will wirklich kein Strafrichter sein, na besonders nicht für Sie. Bitte, seien Sie so nett und beenden Sie dieses schon. Mit Grüssen Petr K 21:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Notification

A post referencing you has been made at WP:AN/I. Note this is a courtesy notification only, as I have neither knowledge of nor an opinion on the matter raised. Orderinchaos 16:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry for that. I don't know, why this user is still obsessed with annoying other people. I can't do anything in this "case" yet and I can't imagine, how anybody could solve his problems here at Wikipedia (whether the English or the Czech one). Anyway, my position is clear: I haven't attacked him and so it is just waste of your and my time. Petr K 17:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I am not obsessed. You lied twice: that mM have vandalized articles and offended other users, and that I have vandalized some article. Normal people make apologies for their lies. —V. Z. ^{Talk • Contributions • Edit counter} 11:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mirek Topolánek.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mirek Topolánek.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.
