Hi! Maybe I'm just misunderstanding something, but shouldn't a bot normally edit for at least a week or make over 100 edits before it can be auto-approved per the bot policy? I noticed vo:User:Ripchip Bot is just 3 days old with about 40 edits. Regards, Jafeluv 13:04, 8 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi. she got the bot flag because local 'crats asked for it on the local discussion page. you can see the links. I didn't give her a flag on the rest from the reason you mentioned. Matanya 14:01, 8 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hmm, sorry, I can't see it. You mean vo:Vükiped:Bots? The last edit on that page is the posting of Ripchip Bot's request on 8 March, isn't it? Jafeluv 07:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

You appear to have removed some content that I put on my user talk page, and you claimed that you did so to remove "private data". The only possible part of what I posted that might appear to be "private data" was my own email address, which is not a private address. There were also some imaginary "conversations" that I wrote and copies of some user talk page discussions, such as that from your user talk page, but there was no reason for you to remove the content that I posted. Please return the content that I put on my user talk page to my user talk page. --JWSurf 17:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

As a blocked user, that misused the admin and 'crat tools, I don't think you understand the meaning of private data. As a matter of fact I won't do so. Matanya 19:20, 20 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

"misused the admin and 'crat tools" <-- What are you talking about?

"I don't think you understand the meaning of private data" <-- I think you are wrong, but that does not matter. There was no "private data" in what I posted to my user talk page. In case you still have not read what I posted, you can see what I posted here. Please return the content that I put on my user talk page to my user talk page. --JWSurf 19:37, 20 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

I'm very disappointed to see you spread that post to another place. The discussion is repeating itself, so I'm off it. You totally lack the knowledge of what personal data means. And your email is a personal data as well, but you chose to reveal it. I have nothing to add to this subject and I won't reply on this subject anymore. Matanya 20:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

"I'm very disappointed to see you spread that post to another place" <-- Why? If you read it you can see that there is no "personal data" in what I posted. I did include an email address that is my own, but that is my business. "The discussion is repeating itself" <-- only because you will not explain your removal of talk page content from my user talk page. "I won't reply on this subject anymore" <-- Your failure to explain your action to me seems to be a violation of policy. --JWSurf 20:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC) Reply

Parlant très mal l'anglais, je n'ai pas très bien compris votre message sur ma page de discussion. Sachez cependant que je n'ai rien contre Israël en lui-même (j'aurais pensé la même chose si l'événement avait été organisé dans un certain nombre d'autres pays), mais beaucoup contre l'organisation d'événements tels que Wikimania dans ce pays, vu le contexte actuel. Je trouve cela déplacé. Maintenant, pour Haifa 2011, c'est sans doute trop tard. Mais j'espère que certains tiendront compte de mes remarques pour les choix des prochaines années.

Matanya, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Meta. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

A tip: add this page Meta:Administrators' discussion index to your watchlist, it tracks the latest activity to various sections of many of the important pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta.

Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List_of_administrators and the Template:List of administrators.

Hello Matanya,

I just read your message on kbd.wiki. Thank you for going into all this trouble and letting me know, and there is no need to apologize, of course. But to be honest, I am confused.

I occasionally see cratship requests being denied due to size of the wiki (Don't see the logic behind it though), but I don't understand why adminship became temporary all of a sudden.

I'd surely appreciate it if you could specify the policy in question.

Hi,

Understand your a steward on meta. I dont normally make such requests however there is something I would like you to look into. A private email sent by me to a user (Vibhijain) was leaked by him here [1]. I dont deny the email nor do I see any wrong in it. I dint intend to do anything about it as I felt though the guy is immature he has tremendous potential to do good on wiki globally. This guy was warned not to leak private emails on meta, but he retorted "... This can't be considered a as warning at all."! Just wondering if anything can be done about this. I dont want to scare this guy of wikipedia, hes just 13 at the same time he needs to be dealt with by a firm hand. Hope you can help. Cheers, AroundTheGlobe 17:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

hello, the discussion is here Requests for comment/Poetlister and Cato. You may also see theose local blocks on those accounts. best Matanya 22:24, 2 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

That discussion ended, last comment, 14 September, 2008, and was for information, no decision was made on action. Are you saying that your global locks were based on what was done before then by Poetlister?

From Poetlister global contributions, the only account of the above that was active recently was on Wikiversity, where he is a user in good standing and has not been a problem. So the only effect of the global lock is to prevent him from editing there.

Is there a wiki where Poetlister was recently causing disruption, perhaps something I missed? If not, would you consider unlocking, at least Poetlister, which seems to be the name by which he is most widely known. Thanks. --Abd 22:52, 2 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

For full discloser I would expect you to link to this thread, where my name is mentioned. I see that this is not a clear cut. Would you mind If I'll ask other steward to review this, I feel that since I locked it I might be in conflict of interes, as I would want to protect my action. You may choose any steward you wish. Matanya 23:02, 2 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

Consulting is fine, of course. This would be speedily resolved if you unlock, at least Poetlister, if you can conclude from consideration that the lock isn't necessary, but you are not required to do anything, I was asking you first because it was your action. If you wish, I'll request on the global locking page. I prefer not to select a steward, because I'd prefer a sympathetic one! -- and I don't test my friends that way. But I might request a 'crat delink on Wikiversity, where the user has positive contributions and there have been no problems. Do you care to disclose what led you to your action? Thanks! --Abd 00:08, 3 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for your civil response. I'd appricate using global unlock page. The reason of this lock was vandal account cleaning, in which I found those accounts and reviwed there contributions. I saw no harm locking them, and I'm not sure I was wrong. best Matanya 05:07, 3 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

I am likewise concerned over the lock of Poetlister. The user is, or rather was contributing positively to enwikiversity. Locking a user who is editing in good faith, regardless of past history, doesn't sit well with me. The harm comes from the good contributions which are lost as a result of him not being allowed to edit anymore, when his only recent edits have been productive.

Hi Matanya! Thanks again for the great work you did helping out with the board election. I have been doing some number crunching on various wikimedia datasets [2]. The ballot data, removed of voter names of course, is going to be made public at some point, but the sooner that could happen, the better. I don't always have this much free time to learn from datasets, and we also have a referendum scheduled for August. Aside from looking for bugs in the interface, I'd also like to do exploratory factor analysis to try to learn about our electorate and its diversity. --Alecmconroy 07:45, 4 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi there. Per your user page on en-wiki I'm asking you here about a set of steward actions you took recently. See here (old version) and here and the clarification section I started at the end of the latter thread. What I'm trying to find out is whether this was a one-off misunderstanding or a systemic failure. Would you be able to comment here or there about this? I've also made a comment here. Thanks. Carcharoth 10:49, 10 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hello, glad you came here to discuss this issue. One thing that doesn't reduce my responsibility regarding this wrong action, as you can see in the logs, is that I wasn't the only steward how fulfilled this request. For example: here. Anyway, to get to the point, I have learned my lesson form this failure, and a rush removal of such, wouldn't happen on my side again. Moreover, I have checked where was my point of failure, and I found out that my mistake was I didn't read the result of the vote carefully enough and missed this very important detail. I sincerely apologizes about this action, and hope no harm had happened. Thank you for pointing this out, and I'll appreciate if you'll quote my words on the relevant pages. sorry and best Matanya 11:32, 10 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi!

I'm an editor/admin on Portuguese Wikibooks and noticed that this action inadvertently prevented the user to edit on that project, where as already mentioned here, he gives valuable contributions (both in discussions about the project and the development of the content of wikibooks - namely b:pt:Logística). I tried to undo that locally (by going to b:pt:Special:Block/Vapmachado), but I wasn't successful. Could you help me with this issue?

Thank you for your help. Best regards, Helder 16:45, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, This user has being abusing many wikis within wikis and outside the wikiworld. His lock shouldn't be removed in my opinion, but if you wish to let him edit on ptwikibooks two options are available: 1) the user should be renamed locally, so the lock wouldn't affect him. 2) you can ask anther steward to review the action, and if he finds it was wrong, he can remove it. best Matanya 17:04, 20 July 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi again!

I've asked on our Village Pump what other editors think about unbloking user Vapmachado on that project, and since they are favorable, I followed your suggestion and contacted another steward (see Anthere's talk page) to have a second opinion about this.

Hello. Yesterday I posted on VR a complaint about an IP spammer, who seems to be back as 188.51.0.32 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye . The problem is that the Toolserver fails to open a page with cross-wiki contributions, which makes tracking down the vandal harder. Yesterday I manually came across four projects where he left traces behind, today I decided to report it here on sight just after his reappearance on ukwiki. Do you have a technical possibility to find every edit by 188.55.9.180 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye and 188.51.0.32 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye ?

1. PLEASE mark the removal of expired permission at Steward requests/Permissions/Approved temporary before archiving, as you removed the expired administrator flag of Reder@sg.wikipedia without noting the removal before archiving. I just noted the removal.
2. THANK you for understanding.
3. SORRY, because you just archived today's expiring permissions too fast, I was misled to enter a comment about the bureaucrat flag of rohit rawat@hiwiktionary into the wrong section. Therefore, I just reverted your archiving to enter more comment. Once the bureaucrat flag of rohit rawat@hiwiktionary is resolved, the requests may be much more properly archived.--Jusjih 09:54, 9 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi Matanya, I have some concerns regarding the approval of sysop flag for 小躍@hak.wikipedia. He requested for sysop at 02:12 3rd Aug. Within an hour 3 accounts were created [3] [4] [5]. These were the only accounts that supported his application. When someone questioned this on zhwikipedia, he immediately go and block these three accounts for one year, but the reason was 'spam'.

I am quite concerned over this case. Though his application would've been approved even no one voted support, these accounts are extremely likely to be sockpuppets, and to have someone who uses sockpuppets in RfA is very disturbing. --Bencmq 07:08, 24 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

hello, I have seen you have archived some steward request for temp adminship in the closed archive, shouldn't they be in the temp unexpired page? Matanya 13:54, 25 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hello Matanya. Normally stewards have to add temp adminships to Steward requests/Permissions/Approved temporary when they grant the access, not when they archive. As I use a script that automatically archives steward requests every day, they go to the normal archives too, but I'm not sure that's a big issue if they are duplicate this way, as long as they stay in the archives.

But never mind, I will check all 2011 permissions archives to be sure nobody has been forgotten, and update the temp list consequently. Thanks, and have a good evening ! ;) -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 14:45, 25 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

Done Everything is okay now. But I dunno what I could do to solve this issue in the long-term... Stewards, when they give temporary access, never use the same words, so it would be hard to do this automatically (sometimes they never use temporary or expire in their message :P). I think that the best way to prevent this would be to increase their awareness. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 16:12, 25 August 2011 (UTC) Reply

Shalom, I tell you, I will not hard you're like i difficult Mr Barras. But actually I wanted to make a statement to local officials just do not want to hear so please understand and convey to them because Wikipedia is a place where the principle of absolute freedom of opinion upheld. Anyway about the reason for blocking it (Bullying / harassment: vandalism) is to be honest I've never done especially in the user page vandalism (especially the board) Look at this -> http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istimewa:Kontribusi_pengguna/Erik_Evrest But the intimidation did not occur to the voters agree on the nomination of the status of the AP article "TV" just is not verysevereand just told to consider it because I developed the article has been painstakingly and appropriate. Understandably because of the pemvoting is thenewbie. But the problem of harassment that yes indeed just beingjoke(kidding) as I alluded to earlier. In addition, blocking is extremely outrageous because this includes my old user in Indonesia Wikipedia (already since 2009) Then I've also actively contribute in the Indonesia Wikipedia. Plus I never vandalize the article and just a matter of socialization alone against fellow users. So the wealthy should not be treated the anon who usually fleasrich(like mutually IP addresses that are not captured by the board) So it was warned I should be rich by Albertus Aditya like this ==> id:User talk:Erik Evrest/Arsip 2011#Ttg: Ringkasan penyuntingan.

Hi, I have an important question. In our Wiki, we had approved (with consensus) that every user should have more than 75 percents of the votes to be an admin (In English Wikipedia it's 70%). All of our sysops had been an admin with a bigger than 75% of the votes. Currently there is a RfA voting and the nominated user has a percentage between 70 & 75. The problem is here that some of our bureaucrats said he may be an admin with a percentage more than 70! I know this is very unsound, but I wanna know if they do this and the user became an admin with a percentage less than 75, then what we can do? 30% of the opposites are the admin, and the NPov-nullity of the user was proved with many discussions, but it seems that our bureaucrats want to neglect all of the rules and make him an admin. If it happened, where can we go for protest? Can we want a Steward to judge this problem instead of our bureaucrats? Beforehand thanks 178.131.116.193 18:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi Matanya, I was looking for someone who speaks Hebrew and English, and found you :-)

Could you please have a short look at en:Automatic milking and then at he:חליבה מכנית? Interwiki links connect these articles to each other (as well as other language articles; see also the Commons category). Now I want to know what exactly the Hebrew article is about. From the used images and the few English words in it I guess that it's about milking dairy cattle in general, about milking machines, or about types of milking parlors (see the bits below the "סוגי מחלובים" heading), but not especially about automatic milking ("milking robots"). So either interwiki links have to be corrected globally (I would do that if I knew what the Hebrew article is about, and which other topics would match better), or the images in the Hebrew article (and maybe parts of the text) have to be changed/updated to actually reflect its topic. I hope you can help out a bit in this case. Many thanks in advance --:bdk: 14:15, 9 October 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi, glad to help :) the Hebrew article is about any type of mechanical milking, which one of those types is automatic milking. Might be better to link an article about any type of non-handed milking. best Matanya 15:02, 9 October 2011 (UTC) Reply

Hi Matanya, you helped us yesterday at ksh-wikipedia by reversing a change caused by vandalism. ksh-wikipedia is suffering since nearly 2 weeks under extreme vandalism. There seems to be one person who deletes the contents of up to 10 pages per day substituting it by different sentences. They all have one thing in common. The new sentence always contains the words "Harald Krichel". I have heard that there is a possiblity to block saving special words by adding a filter. Is this correct? Can you help us at ksh-wikipedia. Although I am an administrator at this small wikipedia I do not know how to add this to our wiki. It would be very kind if you could be of help.

To keep in the pages of wiki Administrator's personnel thesis? at http://sd.wikipedia.org ? Other problem is We call Computer as same in English, but admin forcibly used his word Ganpukar of Computer. I have proof that thousands of published books called it Computer not Ganpukar. If some one oppose him he started abusive language. That is the reason sd.wikipedia.org never got attraction to Sindhi community. Plz check record there. Other things are he locked CSS due to that on the same site there are lot of font styles appeared there. He is not able to set commonCSS or Monocss. We are in trouble to work in our local Sindhi language. I don't know where to say for this problem. Record history says all the situation there. I appeal plz warn him to follow en.wikipedia.org rules, other wise he will continue use his personnel details and personnel promoted articles there. Dear I am sorry If u r not right person to say all about this, Plz suggest me where I can raise this issue. My sd.wikipedia.org ID is same.

Hi Matanya, I would like to remind you that the term of adminship of User:Bellavista1957 on Persian Wikisource has expired but he still has his adminship right.

Hi, Done. thanks for notifying me and best regards. Matanya 11:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC) Reply

Dear Matanya: for your information, Americophile is a vandalist in Wikipedia farsi who is being blocked for six months until the end of the March 2012. Since October 2011, he has explored wikisource farsi and since then he is attacking and harrassing me on a daily basis. Now he has given you false informaion about my adminship status. First of all, Mardetanha has extended my adminship beginning 16 july , 3 months plus six months and plus 12 months. Regarding RFA , Americophile has given you false information. in between, Americophile tried to organize de-administration, five users voted for me and two users , Americophile and Huji who has not been active in Wikisource Farsi in 3 years and had only 60 edits voted against me whereas, other users appreciated my work, and requested that Americophile be blocked for six months as he is in Wikipedia Farsi. New voting in my favor. Regards from Iran to all Israeli people, you have to consider it in a very special light and meaning. Look at commons category:2011 attack on the British Embassy in Iran ., you will see that Americophile who took all these photos was part of the crowd who attacked the British Embassy. Even you can find photos taken by him from inside the embassy. Giving wrong information to an Steward to harass me and damaging wikisource Farsi shows clearly his intentions. My best regards.--Bellavista1957 14:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC) Reply

Hello there. I have noticed your email, but since I can't find any extension by mardetanha, I have send him the request, since he handled this. Matanya 15:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC) Reply

Thanks. Yes, I'm currently blocked on FA:WP but it is completely irrelevant to your de-adminship process on Persian Wikisource (Wikisource is a completely different project than Wikipedia). About your claims of attacking and harassment, this user talk page is not an appropriate place to make a complaint against me; if you really think that I'm attacking or harassing you on Persian Wikisource, you can easily make a complaint on administrators' noticeboard on Persian Wikisource. There is no false information about your adminship term. User:Mardetanha suggested you a temporary three-month adminship and you agreed and the term of your adminship has expired about 1 month ago. And I think there is no need to mention that User:Huji is an established user of Persian Wikipedia (and a brilliant sysop there) and a sysop on Meta (here), so you can not describe him an evil user as you did about me. I will also make a complaint against you on administrators' noticeboard of Meta because of accusing me to be a member of those stupid attackers on British Embassy in Tehran and being affiliated to Basiji forces. I love photojournalism and take lots of photos about incidents taking place in Iran. Regards from Iran Americophile 15:47, 4 January 2012 (UTC) Reply

Dear Matanya, I also want to draw your attention to the fact that User:Bellavista1957 blocked me for 6 month for nothing (maybe because I was blocked on fawp :-) but fortunately User:Mardetanha, who is a sysop there, unblocked me in a few moments. And I want to draw your attention to the fact that User:Bellavista1957 has been blocked several times on fawp (It's irrelevant but I did this because he did the same about me). I'm also an established user of Commons and your colleague there. It really made me upset when he accused me of being hostile towards Israeli people. I love all people and it doesn't matter where they live, whether in Israel or in Iran. Americophile 16:25, 4 January 2012 (UTC) Reply

User:212.121.219.1 who is permanently blocked in the English, Assyrian, Navaho, Saterland Frisian, Thai and Welsh Wikipedias and temporarily blocked in various other Wikipedias and in Wikimdia Commons is spamming the same images cross-wiki. User:212.121.219.1 Global Edits,

The user was the subject of serious acts of vandalism as had been the case in English Wikipedia until the permanent block: English Wikipedia User talk:212.121.219.1

Other spammings from this address is happening cross-wiki and relentlessly so. Apart from vandalism I am afraid that this user has the ability to hack because some of the articles this user edited on were briefly disrupted.

The IP address of the user is subject to change but stem from the same region and the pattern is the same. Due to the constantly changing IP addresses, is it possible to semi-protect the Turkey and Azerbaijan articles from this IP vandalism, since many Wikipedia encyclopedias in other languages are small and ill prepared to deal with this ongoing vandalism? And disturbingly this user can hack, because how can an ordinary user be able to erase the history section of an article, as is the case in the Turkey article in the Nynorsk and Bokmal Norwergian language versions. All history archives after 8 July have been erased.

Hi Matanya,

I am a moderator at the nds-nl wiki, and I feel the need to step forward for Erik Warmelink / User:129.125.102.126 's defense. I have followed his case for a long time, and I did not step forward on his block, about a year ago, because he requested so on nds-nl wiki when the block was applied. At first, I would like to say that I acknowledge that this user has made mistakes, or attacks. Several blocks as a result are justified, he was going over the edge. But I also watched the process of his indef'ed block, and in my opinion, that block is unjustified. A global, indeffed blocked would be justified for a "troll" pur sang, or a spam bot. Both qualifications do not apply to this user. In the last year, the user has made almost only constructive contributions to the nds-nl wiki. Second, the persons that effected the blocks (on request of Trijnstel if I am correct) did not explain the reason for the indef block, and don't even understand the reason for the request because they don't know the language the argument was in, according to their own user pages. Like I said, I do not deny this user has made mistakes, and individual wikis may block him when appropriate, but on the other hand, wikipedia is not served by shutting up all users that have a critical sound. Please watch his contributions on the nds-nl wiki for the last year, and you'll see we are talking about a useful contributor, maybe too critical about authority, but with more useful contributions than attacks. So, again, in my opinion, the global block is much too harsh a punishment, he has served his time, give him a chance, and punish where appropriate only. For the record, I am not his friend, I do not know the man in person even, never met him, but feel like unjustice is done here. A critical mind should not be banned, it may prove to be very useful. So, in short, Matanya, please re-evaluate your sentence, and at least give some reasons for the indef-block Droadnaegel (talk) 22:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC) Reply

Hello, and thanks for spending the time for commenting here. I'd start with the fact that mistakes can be done not only on wiki but via email or IRC, and as far as I know, those were used in the past. This block wasn't my personal appeal, but by request from several users cross-wiki. Users might have criticism, but there is a way to convey it. Anyway, I wouldn't care un-blocking globaly and reblocking locally. I'd like to ask fellow stewards to comment here. Best Matanya (talk) 07:36, 26 July 2012 (UTC) Reply

"Another" pseudonym (also starting with an "M") asked (off-wiki?) for a checkuser and when nothing was found (geen nieuw account aanwezig op dit IP-adres) they blocked me for two years for improving w:nl:Lijst van rijksmonumenten in Tubbergen (plaats) ([6], [7]). --80.114.178.7 11:19, 19 May 2013 (UTC) Reply

Um, I'm confused as to why I was blocked from editing wikipedia? Could you enlighten me as to why? And what is cross-wiki vandalism? I am a good wikipedian and I think this is very unfair. DaHuzyBru (talk) 06:14, 10 September 2012 (UTC) Reply

I've also never had anything to do with Wikimedia. DaHuzyBru (talk) 06:16, 10 September 2012 (UTC) Reply

Thankyou, much appreciated. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:14, 10 September 2012 (UTC) Reply

Seems to be promotional links at heWP, and mostly there. At this point it looks to hand on to heWP to manage. — billinghurst sDrewth 21:35, 31 October 2012 (UTC) Reply

Thanks I'll take care of this. Matanya (talk) 21:37, 31 October 2012 (UTC) Reply

Um, I wasn't spamming. I blanked two pages because I couldn't think of another way to say "this is a hoax" in the corresponding language. Could you please unblock, since my edits were in good faith? 24.236.235.74 22:46, 8 February 2013 (UTC) Reply

I see it already done. sorry for any inconvenience or hurt caused by this. Matanya (talk) 22:39, 9 February 2013 (UTC) Reply

Hello. A bureaucrat discussion has been opened to decide the outcome of this request for de-adminship. It is opened for more than three days now and it has only received one comment so far. If you could please pass by and leave your comments over there it would be really appreciated. Best regards.

Hi, Matanya. You have removed my temporary admin flag in oswiki. Could you please restore it. I got the flag on 2012年12月29日. At that moment I had no vote because of no activity by other users. Now I have 3 votes from most active users including two admins. The request page is here. I still need admin rights to maintain Widgets, MediaWiki namespace and protected pages like Main page which need to be reworked. --Bouron (talk) 13:24, 1 April 2013 (UTC) Reply

Anna Katharina Emmerick: EMMERICK VISIONEN

||

...Es ist dies die hebräische oder chaldäische reine Sprache.

Die erste Muttersprache, welche Adam, Sem, Noe redeten, ist eine andere und ist nur noch in einzelnen Mundarten vorhanden. Ihre ersten reinen Töchter sind die Sprache der Baktrier, der Zend und die heilige Sprache der Indier. In diesen Sprachen sind noch Wörter ganz wie in dem tiefen Plattdeutsch meiner Heimat. In dieser Sprache ist auch das Buch geschrieben, das ich im heutigen Ktesiphon am Tigris liegen sehe.

Heber lebte noch zu der Zeit der Semiramis. ...

...This language was the pure Hebrew, or Chaldaic.

The first tongue, the mother tongue, spoken by Adam, Shem, and Noah, was different, and it is now extant only in isolated dialects. Its first pure offshoots are the Zend, the sacred tongue of India, and the language of the Bactrians. In those languages, words may be found exactly similar to the Low German of my native place. The book that I see in modern Ctesiphon, on the Tigris, is written in that language.

Heber was still living at the time of Semiramis. ...

What do you want by way of mentioning this on Hindi Wikipedia forums?

I want to terminate post-Babel course of unreligion, unhistory, unlanguage and unnationality plaguing whole humanity since Tower of Babel once and for all. This will free humanity from its orwellian newspeak misfortune existing since thousands of years. In this way, whole humanity will be reenabled to return to its nominal way, truth and life.
