User:Heine

This posting by User:Vancouverguy is insulting, irrelevant and pure nonsens, and I ask someone to delete it. Heine 23:48, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

  • User:Heine has been constantly trying to rename Nuuk to Godthab. --User:Vancouverguy
    • Putting this on this page in inappropriate. It's a dispute and edit war over usage, not pure vandalism. See Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers --Jiang 00:58, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • This user is a known vandal. See his user page.Vancouverguy 01:00, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)
        • I'm not a vandal and have never been. It's correct that I've been involved in some edit wars, but the accuse of vandalism is false. Actually, I will rather consider User:Vancouverguy as a vandal, since he has vandalized a lot of my edits. See for instance [[Talk:Bygd%F8y-Frogner]]
        • Heine is a repeated vandal under several disguises, including User:Henrik. RickK 01:01, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)
          • The Nuuk example seems to have been an edit war, not vandalism. Can you justify your claim regarding Heine being a vandal? -- The Anome 23:00, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
            • Huh? Me, a vandal?! You've got to be kidding! We had consensus that Nuuk was not Godthab. That's why I reverted all your edits. Vancouverguy 23:14, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
              • I've never mentioned the name «Godthab» but Godthåb. It's the name of the city, call it what YOU want and I call it by the correct name. But I haven't edited the article anymore. Heine 23:38, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
        • See Special:Contributions/Henrik, Special:Contributions/Rikke and Special:Contributions/Heine. Writing things like "User:Angela is the notorious vandal who is vandalising all my articles" at the top of my user page and on my talk page numerous times. Replacing RickK's talk page with the word 'blocked' and later with 'User:RickK is the notorious vandal hanging around here' and then 'Please notice that RickK is the repeatedly-reverted vandal and nationalist who is destroying every article containing a single non-English word. Pathetic. Heine'. Just a few examples; I'm sure there are more under his various IP addresses. Angela 23:18, Sep 12, 2003 (UTC)
          • This was a respond on repeated vandalism on my edits by Angela, RIckK and Vancouverguy. Everything I wrote was vandalized, mostly without reason, by these tree person. There are examples enough. They even vandalized my own user page several times. AND NOW THIS COMMENT WAS DELETED! Heine 23:36, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
          • Proof of Heine's vandalism: this, from George W. Bush: "George Walker Bush. The not elected leader of the former British colony of «USA» in the south of North America. He is most known as a war criminal, responsible for the the terror attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq and murder of thousands of Iraqi og Afghanian women and children."
        • Heine is believed by many to be Henrik;
      • User:Henrik needs to go. RickK 02:11, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Heine came in tonight (September 20) and immediately deleted his section of this page, then began making changes to the Tel Aviv and Israel pages which he tried to mask as minor changes, but which actually were trying to make Tel Aviv the capital of Israel, which is nothing if not controversial. RickK 02:47, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Hello again, Rick! According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tel Aviv is the capital of Israel. At least where I am (the Kingdom of Norway), this is official (and uncontroversial). In my opinion, I have done nothing wrong when I added that Tel Aviv was the capital of the country in the Tel Aviv article. What really is controversial, is the claim for Jerusalem being capital. This claim is not recognized by the world community (other nations)! Heine
    • The above was done as user 80.213.11.51. He is still trying to put foreign names first in articles, under a number of IP addresses. Angela 03:36, Sep 21, 2003 (UTC)
      • Well, in case i have, now only in new articles I've written. And I followed you advice, for instance on Universities of Berlin when I later added a new link. User:Heine
        • That is true - he does seem to be more open to suggestions to make changes to his articles now. Angela
    • Heine is correct. 90% of the world regards Tel Aviv, which was the accepted capital in 1948, as the legitimate capital. Jerusalem was a neutral city. The international community continues to exist that Israel had no legal right to seize and use Jerusalem as its capital. So other than Israel, the US and four or five countries, everyone else on the planet insists that Tel Aviv is the legal capital of Israel, Jerusalem the unilaterally declared capital. Hence states base their embassies in Tel Aviv, not Jerusalem. FearÉIREANN 21:13, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
          • That is as may be, but he tried to hide it by calling it a minor edit. RickK 00:45, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
            • Only because I thought it was minor edits. Heine 01:29, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Heine is now creating his own encyclopedia inside the Wikipedia name space. See User:Heine/HeineWiki. RickK 02:57, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)

  • It might just be his version of a temp article with a bad choice of page name. A lot of people create articles in their user sub pages when for some reason they don't want to edit the main article, and in this case, Norway is protected so he has little other choice. Angela 03:01, Sep 23, 2003 (UTC)
  • Cool down, Rick, it's just an archive, showing how I think the main article should be. Heine
    • Right. You're involved in an edit war on Norway, so you try to create your version on your own space as a cometing article. RickK 00:45, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

re:foreign (official) names. What about Médecins Sans Frontières? Shouldn't then this article be changed to Doctors Without Borders? What do you think? Heine

No. Wiki does not translate names into english, it uses the version used by english speakers. English speakers use Médecins Sans Frontières, just as they use Tsar, Taoiseach, etc. If a non-english term is used in english, then it is used on wiki and not translated. FearÉIREANN 21:11, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)
from the English Google:
Searched the web for "Freie Universität Berlin". Results: 159,000
39,400 searching English pages only, insofar as google is able to determine language based on appropriate tagging of the pages
Searched the web for "Free University of Berlin". Results: 28,100
25,900
Searched the web for "Humboldt-Universität". Results: 331,000.
26,400
Searched the web for "Humboldt University". Results: 96,500.
77,300
The German names are most common used. Should the article Free University of Berlin then be changed to Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt University to Humboldt-Universität? [[User:Heine[Heine]]
"Humboldt University" seems to win by a landslide in English-language hits. "Free University of Berlin" may be less popular. --Brion 00:54, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Someone that acts like Heine is involved in an edit war on Norway. -- Gustavf 06:39, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)

So? Being in an edit war doesn't make someone a problem user, or at least doesn't require them to be listed on this page. There would be dozens of people listed here each week if that were the case. Angela 03:08, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
No, but Heine was listed on this page. Other comments about his edits, that alone would not be enough to be listed on this page, is also included here. I thought that people keeping an eye on Heine's activities probably would like to be made aware of the edit war. I probably should have mentioned that I was also part of the same edit war. -- Gustavf 06:38, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Heine, perhaps if you stopped deleting comments about yourself from this page people might not regard you as a problem. Angela 17:36, Sep 23, 2003 (UTC)
It's not forbidden to be involved in edit wars. And Gustavf is also involved in the edit war, he is the other part in it. Maybe I should add him too to this list?? By the way: Many people (Vancouverguy, for instance) have deleted my comments on this page. Heine
Well it's not exactly permitted. Vancouverguy probably shouldn't have done that. Angela 03:08, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Heine replaced picture of George W. Bush with one from a website comparing him to a monkey. InanimateCarbonRod 19:36, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Comparing him to? I replaced the picture with another picture of Bush, which I think is better: Image:George_w._bush.jpg. I'm sorry if you didn't like it. Heine 22:14, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Sure, be diingenuous. After your first foray into Wikipedia when you made highly POV comments on the George W. Bush page, it's hard to think that you added that picture just because you think it's better. By the way, what's the copyright status of that picture? RickK 00:45, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Sorry, common sense says otherwise. Any neutral person would agree which was the better portrait. Doesn't fly.Ark30inf 22:20, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Well, well, what can we expect from a person who on his user page declares: "I'm a conservative. I'm a Republican. I am a Southerner. I own a Confederate flag. I watch FOX News. " I think the new portrait was characteristic, and more interesting for the readers than his own pompous portrait. Heine 22:42, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I invite anyone to look at my user page and read the whole thing rather than the portion that you have taken out of context. The fact that you did so says quite a bit. Ark30inf 22:45, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)
