Hey Zacharie

Sorry, I was a know it all... you seem to be right stating that Bristen belongs to the Glarus Alps. I was obviously influenced by my "patriotism" (too strong a word, but couldn't find another one suiting better)... It seems to me though that these definition of different parts of the alps is a little bit spongy. Using political names for these is a bit unfortunate... As I am not in the position to change that I will have to leave it this way... ;-)— Precedingunsigned comment added bySerafina marteen (talk •contribs)19:37, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your hint. You're right of course! I changed it just now. Obviously I still have to learn a lot about wikipedia and how to apply my research knowledge correctly...Serafina marteen (talk)16:50, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can I just make the small point that the construction "With a height of 3,328 metres above sea level, X is the highest peak in Y" that appears in many of your articles sounds very much like a direct translation from the German (?) and doesn't sound right in English. We would write "X (3,228 metres) is the highest peak in Y". The "with" phrase sounds very strange! Thanks,Ericoides (talk)07:36, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. I think "reaching a height of" would be better, although I think that simpler constructions are usually superior, zB, "The Hornenhorn is 3,000 m high and is the highest mountain in Hornland", rather than "Reaching a height of 3,000 m, the Hornenhorn is the highest mountain in Hornland". But that is just my personal preference. Incidentally, isn't "mit eine Hōhe von 3.000 m" a German construction? I thought it was, hence my thinking that yours was a direct translation!)Ericoides (talk)12:10, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zacharie, yesterday I've tried begining to translate your article about S3 to french and german. They were both not accepted by the admin's. It's a pitty for swiss people to have to read english. They should have the option to choose their native language. In particular if it's the language where such a company is located. Perhaps you have a idea how we can handle this.— Precedingunsigned comment added byBpf72 (talk •contribs)09:48, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Sorry I have no idea of what are the inclusion criteria of French and German wiki. But probably the best thing you can do is to start an article aboutPayerne Airport (there are no French nor German versions of it) and include there all relevant information. Then you could do a redirect. IMHO that would be better than nothing at all.ZachG(Talk)19:23, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you editedList of mountains of Switzerland accessible by public transport, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation pageBirg (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Wikipedia is not a travel guide, content such as how to get to places is not encyclopedic, and does not belong here--Jac16888^Talk15:35, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure but I read carefully WP:NOTGUIDE and it doesn't say anything about what you mentioned (how to get to a place). In mountain articles you normally find a description of the normal and other routes to the summit.ZachG(Talk)16:02, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That list is not exclusive, it is saying that content you would find in a travel guide may not belong here. A section on "how to get to us" is clearly something you would find in a brochure or guide (or indeed on the tourist website for that location,[1]), it is not something you should have in an encyclopedia article--Jac16888^Talk16:07, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was mainly a style issue, but I think it's ok now. I'll see if I can improve the article further.ZachG(Talk)16:31, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you might want to use the template{{travel guide}} next time you see something similar. I think it's a better option than simply deleting the content, especially when it's just a writing style issue that can be fixed easily.ZachG(Talk)20:08, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zacharie, thank you for your support with the Mountains of the Alps project. I just saw your comment on Mountains of Bavaria and we do need to add the Alpine ones.

Hi Zacharie - I noticed you've been romping through, adding gradings to the Alps pages, which is brilliant. The chart on the Project page is really starting to get populated and is making some sense now. I've a question for you -are you at the same time also making any assessment of the quality of the articles, or just adding the alps-importance status?

I'm not very familiar with making these quality assessments, so have held off contributing. However, if you are doing a quality assessment, could you take a look at the Aiguille de Bionnassay article which I've been working hard to upgrade this month. It's gone from a one sentence stub for the last five or more years, to hopefully something a lot more useful. Even if I could, I'm sure I shouldn't be assessing my own work, anyway.

There is a discussion atTalk:List of chocolate bar brands#Chocolate content. This was never brought up in the inclusion discussion.

Dear Mr Grossen, the link to Pro Specie Rara is very misleading, as the Biodiversity Monitoring Switzerland BDM in its current form no longer analyses genetic diversity and in particular the diversity of farm animals and plants. The focus is on the diversity of species and habitats at various scales. The Z1 indicator "Change in the number of all domesticated livestock breeds and agricultural plant varieties recognized in Switzerland" was discontinued in 2014 due to cost-cutting measures (seehttps://www.biodiversitymonitoring.ch/index.php/de/archiv). Please respect the removal of the link! Thank you!Milkwort (talk)08:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This split was apparently made without any explanation on the talk page.Your edit summary saysanother dry-cured ham, not called "prosciutto", which is false: what is called "pršut" in South Slavic languages is invariably referred to as "prosciutto" in English, and therefore it belongs in the article for prosciutto perWP:COMMONNAME.

South Slavic "pršut" is simply a variant of prosciutto and it does not warrant its own article, just like we don't have four separate articles forsofrito, sofregit, soffritto and refogado.Un assiolo (talk)16:40, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. If you read thepršut andNjeguški pršut articles, then you will not see any reference to "prosciutto" other than "it is similar to it", hence the split. If those specialties are actually called "prosciutto" in English (inWP:RS), then I think it should be first clearly stated in their introduction (like: "Njeguški pršut is a type of prosciutto..."). And then there will be no problem with having them in theProsciutto article. So, feel free to merge again the pages, but not without serious references.Zach(Talk)14:57, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So happy to see another member of chocolate cabal here. I'm looking at gettingtypes of chocolate up to featured list and good topic, by getting all the subpages to good article. Would love to have your help ~ I also hope you enjoy thehistory of chocolate page that just got to good article, andchocolate in savory cooking that is likely about to also be promoted.Rollinginhisgrave (talk)11:29, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will certainly enjoy reading all your work (especially chocolate in savoury cooking). Unfortunately I'm not really active this year, since I've been busy with other activities, including ...making chocolate. Very fun and time consuming activity, to say the least! Happy editing!Zach(Talk)12:37, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Zach, hope you're well :). I'm writingwhite chocolate at the moment to try to get it to FA, and I'm hitting a wall with writing about the market. I'd really like to get stats out of European nations, but I unfortunately don't speakany of the languages I need to so I can search effectively. If you have some time over the next few weeks, can you have a look in? It would be deeply appreciated.

Some newish chocolatey articles that might interest you:Cocoa bean fermentation (self explanatory scope) andRogue Chocolatier (a Massachusetts man who spent a decade becoming maybe the best chocolate maker in the US, before concluding it was definitely not worth it and that he didn't like eating chocolate)Rollinginhisgrave (talk |contributions)05:43, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm a bit off wikipedia these days, but I'd be glad to help you if you have a very specific topic in mind (ok, to be honest you seem to be far more knowledgeable than me on many topics related to chocolate). Give me a few days and I'll have a close look at white chocolate.Zach(Talk)13:49, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries if you don't have the time nor inclination. I'm thinking I won't be able to get it to FA anyway as I can't find access to some non-English sources.Rollinginhisgrave (talk |contributions)04:25, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm a bit suffering from the lack of physical activities, so I'm not going to be very active on wikipedia for the next few months. I'm curious: did you try thiswebsite? If you're looking for a specific title, there's a good chance it will be there.Zach(Talk)17:05, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean by the lack of physical activities, but I hope you're doing okay. I did tryAnna's Archive, but none of the texts I was trying to access inde:Schweizer Schokolade#Literatur were there. I might tryresource request although I don't want to waste editors time if the books don't coverWeiße Schokolade.Rollinginhisgrave (talk |contributions)18:03, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And actually, I think you've already done an amazing job! And you really shouldn't worry if you don't find the exact information you're looking for, we'll probably get more online resources the next few years. Perhaps one thing that can be improved is the consistency of the terms used in wikipedia (for instance, I see that the termcocoa solids is still used in different contexts). There is a lot of confusion going on about those terms (in the real world), and I think wikipedia could do a better job at clarifying them.Zach(Talk)17:29, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Yes, it's reassuring that more information will arise. I will ask what you're thinking re; cocoa solids, do you mean as an ingredient vs a constituent component? As an aside, I'm writingDraft:Glossary of chocolate terms which will hopefully bring some clarity to the terminology ;)Rollinginhisgrave (talk |contributions)18:07, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The glossary is a great idea! I think we should have a discussion about those terms and how we use them. Honestly, I wouldn't use the term "cocoa solids" alone anywhere (or at least not without a footnote), given that it has several meanings (see for instanceTypes of chocolate andDark chocolate). So, I probably won't start a discussion now, but if someone does, then I'll be glad to give my opinion.Zach(Talk)19:11, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help towards making the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦Dr. Blofeld13:14, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
