Category:Counts / Erfvoogds (Heritage-Bailiffs) of Erkelenz

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:Counts / Erfvoogds (Heritage-Bailiffs) of Erkelenz]] to articles/categories that belong in it.

I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{db-author}}.

Sir David Graaff Hi Matthias, saw you contributed to this article. Good work! As a bearer of the Dutch name of Gr aaff (I'm Arthur), I would be interested to know about your sources and especially the link between the South-African Graaffs and the noble Dutch De Graeff family. My family tree runs to about 1736 and shows no clear relationship to De Graeff, although in those days spelling was very liberal and only since Napoleontic times etc. There is a Graaf f family in Germany, and they owned some train factory. (http://www.graaff-transportsysteme.de/) If you want to, you can mail me at wikipers (at) gmail (dot) com. Best regards AG —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.87.227.28 (talk) 14:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Nice articles!

Good on you for making those articles in the pre 19th century individuals/places etc. We could use a lot more of those. :) Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 08:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

jacob de graeff - 1728 Johannes Cornelisz SYLVIUS, predikant, geboren 1563/1564 te Amsterdam, overleden op dinsdag 19 oktober 1638 te Amsterdam, bron: Jaap Bottema. "Het geslacht Sylvius in Stad en Ommeland" tot het begin van de 19e eeuw. In het Groningerland komt men telgen uit dit geslacht tegen met de familienaam Sylvius, Silvius en Zelvius. De spelling moge variëren, doch het zijn allen nazaten van de predikant Johannes Cornelisz. Sylvius, geboren in 1563/1564 te Amsterdam. In Friesland hoedde hij de schapen Christi in Tzummarum en Firdgum (1593-1597), Balk en Harich (1597-1602 en Sloten (1604-1610). Op voorspraak van de Amsterdamse regent Jacob de Graeff, tevens ambachtsheer van Sloten, werd hij in 1610 beroepen naar Amsterdam, waar hij twaalf jaar lang predikant was van de gasthuiskerk. In 1622 werd de Graeff's beschermeling dienaar van het Gods Woord in de Oude Kerk aan de Oudezijds Voorburgwal, waar de De Graeff's hun laatste rustplaats kregen. Hij zou de gemeente dienen tot zijn overlijden op 19 oktober 1638.

Die Grafen von Eschenloch (auch Eschenlohe) waren ein dynastisches Geschlecht, welches den Meinhardinern entstammte.

Stammherr ist Heinrich, Graf von Eschenloch († 1349), welcher ein außerehelicher Sohn des Meinhard II., Graf von Görz und Tirol sowie Herzog von Kärnten, war. Die Grafen benannten sich nach den ausgestorbenen Grafen Eschenlohe, welche ihren Namen von der nördlich von Garmisch gelegenen Burg Eschenlohe ableiteten. Dieser Heinrich war mit Anna von Reichenberg verheiratet.

Die Weidenburg ist eine aus dem Mittelalter stammende, nun verfallenen Burganlage in der Kärnter Gemeinde Kötschach-Mauthen.

Ein vermutlich um 1200 errichteter Ministerialensitz am unteren Berghang südlich von Würmlach, auf einem nach Süden und Osten steil abfallenden Felssporn gelegen. Urkundlich 1225 als castro Weideberch im Besitz von Ulrich und Hugo Reifenberg. Auch diese Burg fiel 1460 durch den Frieden von Pusarnitz an Kaiser Friedrich III., der sie 1461 an die Brüder Hornberger als Lehen vergibt. Danach scheint Hans von Graben als Besitzer auf, und 1545 wird Georg Khevenhüller durch Kauf neuer Eigentümer. Im 17. Jahrhundert war die Familie Fromiller Eigentümer, ab dem 18. Jahrhundert setzte der Verfall ein. – Die Burganlage besaß einen rechteckigen, viergeschossigen Palas (um 1200) und einen an der Südwestecke angebauten quadratischen Bergfried. Die Mauern sind zum Teil bis zu 10 Meter Höhe noch erhalten.

Cornelis Andriesz de Graeff (1650-1678)

Hallo Donald1972,
In 2010 you wrote a lemma "Cornelis HrR Ridder de Graeff" here (en-wp). I changed the title to "Cornelis Andriesz de Graeff".
Furthermore i made some (in my opinion essential) additions and changes. I hope you can agree with my corrections.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 18:36, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello Bbb, I know that's it not right to have some more accounts on Wikipedia. The accounts get more over the years, mostly I used Donald1972 for uploading images and Brederode as a writing one. The third Artium72 is useless. If you like to unblock only one of my 3 here, I will vote for my old Donald1972 (since 2008). I've sent you a message via Wikipedia too, and would appreciate to hear from you. Thank you in advance --Donald1972 (talk) 11:00, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Drill it. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Von Graben family tree have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks.Drill it (talk) 19:58, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, these sources belong to the von Graben family page (and they are there), but not to the family tree, because they havent the sources of that family tree. --Donald1972 (talk) 20:03, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

WP:COI

I have noticed you are banned from editing Matthias Laurenz Gräff, and on a sock account you have uploaded his paintings as your "own work". This strongly suggests you are him, in which case you should not be shoehorning his paintings on any page you see necessary. Please read WP:PROMOTION and WP:SELFCITE. I have seen that on another of your accounts, you were warned by User:Beyond My Ken for inserting the painting of Norbert Gofer. I removed the painting of Sebastian Kurz for the same reason. This is an encyclopedia, not your Facebook wall to attack politicians. What would people think if pages like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin were just crude cartoons? It is really not good that you have been warned before and banned, then you come back to reinstate the paintings removed in your absence, for no other reason than you want them to be there. Consider this a warning as I will consider finding an admin if you keep inserting your own biased cartoons back onto serious pages. Unknown Temptation (talk) 01:36, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Also if - per your own Wikipedia article - you made a painting calling Kurz a "great dictator, opportunist, putschist", you should not be within one million miles of his Wikipedia article. Ever. Unknown Temptation (talk) 01:46, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

On reviewing your recent contributions I have put WP:COI tags on Dialog im Kamptal (your organisation) and Helmuth Gräff (your father). You were the creator and nearly the only contributor on both pages. If you have been on Wikipedia since 2008, you should know not to edit where you have a conflict of interest - especially as you have previously been indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry on your own biography. Please read WP:NOT and remember I have a good case to bring this up with admins if you promote yourself, your family or your organisations again.

Rainer zu Rain

Hey, I see you created Rainer zu Rain! I noticed some citation tags are showing as just text and have no citations associated. I assume you translated it from the German Wikipedia article? I've tagged that on the talk page, but those citation tags should be inserted with actual citations. Also, I did jump on this article pretty quickly so I don't know if you would've marked it on the talk page, but remember to note translations from other Wikipedias on the talk page with the {{Translated page}} template. Thanks! Skarmory (talk • contribs) 23:14, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

I didn't know that until now. But I'll keep that in mind in the future. I thank you. Greetings --Donald1972 (talk) 00:00, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Eggert family

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Eggert family, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
• It appears to be about something made up, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Eggert family

I'm not seeing a case for notability regarding Eggert family, and as you know, translating an article from de-wiki is not a reason for us to retain this material. As you've been on wiki a very long time, I'm curious if you could explain this to me. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:12, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Pieter Graeff

The article Pieter Graeff has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a genealogy website. no indication of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Wendela Bicker for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Wendela Bicker is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Eggert family moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Eggert family, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi thanks for creating this article. When we translate or borrow from other language wikis it’s a requirement to acknowledge the source.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bicker family into Jacob de Graeff. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:34, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
