Willkommen / Welcome

Hello and welcome! It appears that you either do not understand the German language, or you understand it only at a basic level. This is a welcome message to introduce you to the German Wikipedia, providing you with links to the most important places and departments you may wish to consult.

• The embassy is perhaps the first place to go. There you can ask questions and get in touch with people who can translate your requests.
• The German equivalent of the “village pump” is Questions about Wikipedia which can be used to ask questions and discuss matters of all kinds about Wikipedia. Feel free to ask questions in your preferred language, but questions in English will probably get the quicker responses than those asked in less-common languages.
• Frequently-made requests: Request to usurp existing user accounts • Request a Bot flag.
• The multilingual Adopt-a-user program also welcomes your participation.
• For your user page: You might want to create your user page and put some babel boxes on it, therefore everyone could know what languages you speak. For example: “{{Babel|en|de-0}}” shows that you are a native English speaker, but do not understand German at all.

Want to help? The simplest thing you could do is to improve this template (translate, fix errors, etc.), to help more contributors who do not speak German.

Once again, welcome! -- AFBorchert – D/B 18:18, 15. Mär. 2017 (CET)

Yeah it's not too good sorry. I thought since I was leaving you a message here I would give it a shot though. Google translate usually does a fair job. NO offense in tended on the mispronunciation of your name BTW. My mother was born in Germany but unfortunately did not transfer any of her language skills to me. Cheers! :-) Reguyla (Diskussion) 18:43, 15. Mär. 2017 (CET)

Hi Reguyla, it was perfectly correct, just my name was misspelled :) BTW, I would suggest to create a local user page, the current page is inherited from meta and does not look exactly cheerful. Regards, AFBorchert – D/B 18:50, 15. Mär. 2017 (CET)

Thanks. Yeah I probably should you're right but to be honest I probably won't edit much here and it's more likely I'll get globally blocked before long anyway so there isn't much point. That's the problem with using Meta as a default and not allowing people to set their own home wiki (at least not that I know of). There are already talks of a San Fran ban now that I am blocked on three sites so the end is near. Cheers! Reguyla (Diskussion) 20:09, 15. Mär. 2017 (CET)

I find the current policy for global bans unfortunate and voted against it. Fortunately most requests get rejected (like this one which affected another Commons contributor). Regards, AFBorchert – D/B 21:58, 15. Mär. 2017 (CET)

Yeah the idea sounds good in principle but for many reasons including those you listed it's just not functionally a good idea. With a community as large and diverse as the WMF community and with the different cultures on different projects it could lead to a lot of unnecessary bans. It would be interesting to know just how many people are banned on more than one project. I am sure it's a lot including most likely people who are banned on one but a sysop or even higher on others.

Reguyla, I’m not sure if you’ll ever read this or not but this is just a message to anyone interested. There actually is a French Wiktionary sysop called Classiccardinal who is indef blocked on French Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, and as you (Reguyla) are doing a great job as an admin on Wikia I think how one act on one project shouldn't be damning on any other wiki project.
