Liechtenstein

Please indicate where does the cited source [1] say that 2.7% area of Liechtenstein is water. Materialscientist (talk) 12:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to: Liechtenstein

I am not entirely familiar with this type of conversation interface, so I hope it works.

[2]: 6th and last page of that document (38th page of the whole document actually, the rest has been excluded) displays the Arealstatistik, meaning land-use statistics. I am not really German, nor that I live in a German speaking country. I only know German as a foreign language, so my translations might be slightly inaccurate; my understanding, however, should be adequate. Under the Unproduktive Flächen (Unproductive Areas) section in that last page it lists; (1) Stehende Gewässer (still water, like lakes), (2) Fliessgewässer (flowing water, like rivers), and the rest isn't related to the subject...

Table should be all understandable now, as it doesn't involve German anymore: In 2008, the percentile area usage of still water is 0.1% and 2.6% for the flowing water. Altogether 2.7% of the whole land is being occupied by water mass.

I have to say that Wikipedia text formatting looks horrible for conversation. ThoAppelsin (talk) 12:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted myself yesterday, waiting for comments from other users - it seems to me they count the Rhine River border area as water-covered area, which might be invalid, yet the numbers don't fit without it. Materialscientist (talk) 22:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

... Thought that Wikipedia would warn me for edits, since I have the Liechtenstein article on my watchlist. I think this place isn't for me, anyway, I hope I helped. ThoAppelsin (talk) 22:58, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have, thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 23:03, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if Rhine should and is being properly included and generally in Wikipedia the classic rounding method is being used, then the Total Area should also be updated from 160 to 161, since 160.5 should classically round up to 161. If the scientific rounding method is being used, however, it is all right, 160.5 would round to 160 with that. ThoAppelsin (talk) 23:09, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Talk pages

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:0.999... are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 19:33, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, there's an easier way to leave signatures on talk pages: you can type four tildes and the software will insert one automatically. Details are at WP:~. Melchoir (talk) 21:29, 2 February 2014 (UTC) [reply]

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit the English Wikipedia through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption.

This IP block exemption expires in six months. If you still need it at that time then please request another about two weeks before this one expires to make sure that you can continue to edit.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 14:36, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I almost forgot to mention that the ranges that you are currently using are globally blocked and you will need to make an additional request for a global IP block exemption from the stewards at meta here.
