Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Johannes Rohr! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 12:12, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Nenetsia

Hi, Johannes! I am a bit at a loss having just read this comment of yours. It is not only that google returns 13,000 hits for "Nenetsia -wikipedia" (although, admittedly, some of Wikipedia mirrors are not completely filtered out by using this syntax), but Encarta's article about this autonomous district is titled "Nenetsia", so this is by no means an "innovative invention" of some fellow Wikipedian. Your comment will be much appreciated.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 20:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Khazar maps

Unfortunately I did not keep copies of these maps once they were uploaded to Wikipedia. I should have done so. Why not just take the maps, download them to your computer, and edit them through a graphics editing program? The old text could be filled on in colors matching the background and new text inserted.

Re : WP:GDS

Thanks for your clarification on the proposal. I'm not a native speaker, and had troubles trying to translate the German document. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 16:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

For your very insightful and thoughtful contributions to the RfC at the Talk:List of indigneous peoples page. I fully agree with the majority of what you wrote. On the issue of self-identification, I have highlighted a couple of sources on the talk in response to your comments, and could work to locate more. I just remembered too, there's this document: [1] which created quite a buzz in Israel just recently. Palestinians' indigeneity amongst themselves is self-evident. The relative newness of efforts to be formally identified as such among mainstream Palestinian representative organizations before the international community indicates how slow we were to realize that for others, it was not that clear-cut. With the ongoing failure of Oslo and the fading lustre of the two-state solution, it seems the movement towards recognition of their indigenous rights within a federal state framework might be preferred over a two-state solution so as to finally unite the community now separated between Israel, the occupied territories, the refugee camps and the Diaspora and end the historical injustice that has been done.
