Tere Andres, ma nägin, et sa kirjutas Albaania umbes. I am Albanian living in Tallinn and I have been correcting and writing articles on Estonia in Albanian Wikipedia. Kas sa räägid albaania keelt? Kas sa oled käinud Albaanias?
I would like to meet with you and discuss about Albania as there aren't that many people here who know about Albania that much.

Thanks for tracking down the info on the Edi Rama article. By the way, are an Albanian descendent or are you just working on Albanian articles for the fun of it. Dori 13:27, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- I am not Albanian but I want to learn about Albania as much as possible. Andres 17:27, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Hello there Andres, seem as you seem to be editing lots of things to do with Albania. I was wondering If you had seen the Kosovo War article. At the moment it's deeply biased and writen entirely from a Serbian viewpoint. I was wondering If you'd like to try NPOVing it. G-Man 18:10, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- I had a look at the article. Unfortunately, right now I lack the abilities and competence needed for doing that. Andres 22:56, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Hi Andres,
I see that you took the now-irrelevant comment out of Action (philosophy). I replaced the confusing content. Apart from noting on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention that I'd done so, I left that page's reference to the Action entry there. I am new to the wikipedia; would you either do what is needed there or tell me what the procedure is for editing the needs attention page after attention has been paid? Thanks, vanden 02:30, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Hi Vanden, good job! I think there should be two separate articles: one about action as a concept (how it is defined in philosophy (in different ways) and what are the problems about it and what approaches there are to them) and another on philosophy of action (on what are the issues of the philosophy of action and what has been done in it). There will be some overlap but the contents will not coincide as in the philosophy of action there are many other concepts. And links to those other concepts would appear in both of them.
- If you edit those articles I will hold my eye on them.
- Most of the articles on analytical philosophy need much work. Andres 06:11, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Hi Andres,
- I cannot edit them. I do analytic philosophy, but phil of math and logic. I came close to exhausting what I know well enough to put up already! (I will see if I can convince a fellow grad student to take a bash.)
- That would be fine. Thank you! Andres 12:22, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- As for the two articles idea, I'm new and action is not my thing, but I cannot see the need for two. I see philosophical work to define and understand action as exactly what the philosophy of action is up to. (Had I seen Philosophy of action I think I would have felt like Action (Philosophy) should be deleted -- I think I've turned it into a duplicate article. But what do I know? Best, vanden 06:40, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- OK, that was my proposal. There are other people who think like you thoml and there are people who think like I think. I still think that when the articles grow long enough, the need for two articles will appear. In any case, this is the way I would edit. Andres 12:22, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Hi Andres, I've nominated you for adminship. Please reply at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Dori | Talk 03:49, Dec 10, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Andres. I have a question to You. Could we use one Estonain map, what I made myself, to show Estonian Counties? Then I will write each county separately. Here it is.
But Probbaly it will be too big?
File:Estmap.jpg -- Egon 15:15, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Thank you, Egon, I like the map. Do you mean to modify it for each copunty? I don't think it's too big but I guess some other people would think so. I think it could be that size if all counties were marked by name and the relevant county were of other colour. Then the map would be more informative. Perhaps the location of Tallinn could be marked also, but then people would think it is not part of Harju County. Ask what User:Mic thinks. And See our discussion about the permission for coats of arms and flags. Andres 15:38, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I want also mark capitals of each county --Egon 15:53, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I have here also one good program about resizeing a *.bmp image but I cannot use this, because it is in korean. I will try and lets see what can be made. Egon 15:57, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- File:Estmap.bmp This one? Or must it be certainly *.jpg? -- Egon 16:42, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- For the politics, see Wikipedia:Image use policy#Format. In any case, you uploaded this image, and it is OK.
- AlexLL uploaded another map, and Mic modified it (for discussion, see User talk:Mic and for an example, see Saare County). Mic's version is small and fit for the table. I would like more your version, and I don't like table templates at all. On the other hand, I think that we have to choose among the two, and we have to consult other users, including Mic.
- If you can use the letters ä and õ, then I prefer your version for the Estonian Wikipedia. Could you please make the maps in Estonian?
- I could not make these maps in estonian, I tried. My program does not allow import characters, only english and korean and chinese.-- Egon 22:22, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- The pity of it! Then we can use your map just as a location map without the names of the counties. Andres 22:47, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
File:Estmaparnu.bmp, File:Raplamaa.bmp, File:Harjumaa.bmp, File:Laanemaa.bmp --Egon 01:36, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- OK, if you can create õ as well, it could go simehow... Andres 02:35, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I installed yesterday a new program and there is possible to transport and edit all the characters, that we need to edit.--Egon 13:18, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- That's wonderful, Egon!
- Yes, the Rapla version is good enough. But look what Mic says. Maybe you would create these maps in Estonian instead? Andres 02:47, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- If the other version is used in the English Wikipedia, I think your version still could be used in the article Counties of Estonia. Andres 16:43, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- The maps could well be in English, and a description like "Harju County" looks proper. What I was concerned about was resorting to for example "Laane County", when "Lääne County" ought to be used. The most immidiate concern however is the file format, as one bmp file takes more room than maps for twenty counties would in png. -- Mic 09:03, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)
I think the new map looks fine and would fit very well in the Counties of Estonia entry. For the entries of each respective county a map of that county, accompanied with a smaller one that pinpoints its location, is the best option. However creating these kind of custom county maps is quite an ardous task. The maps that are used on the country pages on Wikipedia virtually all comes from the same source and has the same color scheme, a tip could be to use the same coloring as these to achieve a sense of uniformity also on other maps.
The preferred file format for maps and illustrations is PNG, like it says under in image use policy, and this can't be stressed enough. BMP is uncompressed and creates much too large files. JPEG is fine for photographs, but shouldn't be used here since it degenerates the image. An application which should be able to save PNG with out any hassles, as well as do antialiased resizing of images is GIMP. It is free to use and a good option if you are able to install software where you are working.
The ä and õ should be used also in the map unless they are not used at all in English. In that case they should be stripped in the text and the articles also. -- Mic 17:54, Dec 16, 2003 (UTC)
