Sock poppet of Kusamanic

It seems User:Kusamanic is using an IP number to remove informations from other users. I opened an sock poppet investigation against him. Please, go there: Opinoso (talk) 18:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Tomás González (gymnast)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Tomás González (gymnast). Our verifiability policy requires that all content be cited to a reliable source. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:35, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Chilean election

I see you and B1MBO are having an edit war. Why dont you explain your changes in the talk page? We could have discussion there and deside wich picture should be. Dentren | 01:18, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Sebastian Pinera

Please do not use Misplaced Pages as a political tool. That said, please do not remove factual information or add defamatory statements as facts. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neon Sky (talk • contribs) 03:42, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

It is factual information with verifiable references. The paragraph addresses the political campaign within the field of mass communications. Please do not insist on reverting informaton without a legitimate reason; large-scale removals are considered vandelism (edit warring). You are dangerously close to breaking the three-revert rule and having your account blocked. --Neon Sky (talk) 02:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Please include comments in the discussion page when placing a POV. This allows for dialogue leading towards a clean solution. According to your notes on the article itself, I see your direct concern was in regards to a missing citation for the comparison made between Pinera and Obama. That has now been updated and I sincerely believe this solves the issue. --Neon Sky (talk) 05:26, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

P.S. It dawned on me that your issue was with a missing citation on one sentence. I consider your deleting the entire paragraph unnecessary. In the future, it would be less extreme and more constructive to the evolution of the article to address concerns in the discussion page. --Neon Sky (talk) 05:42, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.The preceeding message is in regards to deletion you made on January 9, 2010.--Neon Sky (talk) 04:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Notices

please don't distort anymore about South Korea's GDP PER CAPITA. According to CIA, in 2009, South korean GDP was 832500000000.( https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ks.html). Then, split by South korean population in 2009(48,508,972, CIA's, and US Federal cencus are same each other), the result is about 17,161. Don't distort anymore about South Korean' GDP. If you go ahead, I'll form public opinion in S.Korean internet Site.

January 14, 2010

You have inisited on making unfavorable changes to the page of Sebastian Pinera; first by deleting information and now by updating unattractive images of the candidate. Please stop vandlising said page. This is your final warning.--Neon Sky (talk) 04:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

In response to your comment :You have continually vandelised Sebastian Pinera's page. I have continually attempted to communicate with you but you have evaded all dialogue. I believe the history is unequivocal. Next time, this will be left to an objective third party. You have been warned. --Neon Sky (talk) 07:49, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorting of ROC in List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita

When you edit the article, there is a note that says "Per the guidelines Misplaced Pages:NC-TW#Republic of China, Taiwan, and variations thereof, names here are NOT to be changed." I didn't put it there and I don't know who did. But if you follow the link you'll find (actually, directly above the linked to section):

Generally following the established convention of alphabetizing countries under their common names, the Republic of China (i.e. Taiwan) should be alphabetized under "T" while the People's Republic of China should be alphabetized under "C". The former can be listed, depending on context, either as "Republic of China (Taiwan)" or "Taiwan (Republic of China)".

I've seen other situations where a sort was handled by explicitly stating what the sort should be with an attribute or some kind of tag, but I don't know what the syntax is or whether it would work in this kind of table. If it did we could still call it "Republic of China (Taiwan)" and then state explicitly what the sort should be. Although to be honest, since the economy is more tied to the country than to the government, and ROC is really a government name, "Taiwan (Republic of China)" makes more sense to me. But I know there are others who disagree and prefer "Republic of China (Taiwan)". Either will work but most people know the country as "Taiwan" so that should be the how it is sorted so people trying to find it using alpabetical order will be able to.

Latin America

As much as we appreciate your contribution here in Misplaced Pages, I must remind you that all edits need to have a valid source. Some of the edits done in the Latin america article, especially those in the Economy section are not being backed by a valid source. All edits will be deleted and reverted, unless you can provide a valid source. Jesusmariajalisco (talk) 17:29, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Great job on the edits for the Latin America article. My apologies for assuming bad faith. The only part I am having a problem with is the GDP per capita? According to the Article for example Mexico City per Captita 2008 is 20.4 million, Sao Paulo 20.3 Buenos Aires 28.0 Rio de J. 16.9 on page 22. But in the article you have those figures different, can you explain it please. Thanks.

Latin America

Hi! I am having a little problem in the article Latin America with editor SamEV about Brazilian demographics. The main article about Brazil explains that the "Pardo" population is a a broad category that includes sub-categories such as the Mullattoes, Caboclos (known as "Mestizos" in Hispanic-America) and Cafuzos (known as "Zambo" in Hispanic America). In the Latin America article there is a table that says that 39.1% of Brazilian population are "mulatto" when the correct should be "Pardo". I explained that carefully in the talk page (See Talk:Latin America#Conflict with editor SamEV) but editor SamEV not only ignored my remarks but insist on reverting all my edits. I also tried to reach his in his own talk page but he simply erased my message. That is not a helpful behavior of his. I should had simply requested to an administrator to block him per the 3 eevert rules and asked for an arbitration since his behaving as his owns the article. However, I want to avoid that since the issue is something very simple, that is, nothing more than to clarify the table that present Brazilian demographics. As it is know, it says that there are 0% Caboclos or Mestizos (the majority of the population in Northern Region, Brazil, Northeast Region, Brazil and Central-West Region, Brazil) and 0% Cafuzos or Zambos. Could you, please, share your thoughts about it in the article talk page? Thank you very much, --Lecen (talk) 10:42, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

BBC research

The BBC research only includes 5 nations, that's far not enough to cover the table.

The BBC criteria are not the same as your eddits. (Clerksidesewf (talk) 16:44, 10 October 2010 (UTC))

Please see the updated discussion. (Clerksidesewf (talk) 16:53, 10 October 2010 (UTC))

OECD per capita data

Yes it is correct, i finally found it but please, try to specify exactly where in the tables to look for in the references because is extremely difficult to find it.

		Great job finding or taking more pics for the 2010 Copiapó mining accident. It is an important article but was really image starved. Your images really improved it!Veriss (talk) 23:51, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Pristino

I note that without comment, two edits after I had removed the {{recent death}} template from the above-captioned article with an edit summary of "rm recent death template--edit frequency does not indicate inclusion (per Template:Recent death/doc)", you re-added the template. Please review the linked instructions and if you feel that the template is applicable, please state why you think so in the edit summary (or better, on the article's talk page).

Regards, _matic 10:14, 6 November 2010 (UTC) Should you wish to reply, please do so here. I will watch this page for a few days, so no {{talkback}} or other comment on my talk page is required.

Honduras minimum wage

You incorrectly edited saying Honduras latest minimum wage came into force 2009-09-01 when the article already correctly stated that this new wage came into force on 2010-09-01. Please take more care in future, changing correct into incorrect information damages wikipedia and amisinforms our readers. Thanks, ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 17:28, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

List of countries by inequality-adjusted HDI

Hola, I just let you know that the column "Rank change" is totally wrong! Eliko (talk) 21:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

User:Pristino/List of countries by income quintiles of GNI (PPP) per capita

User:Pristino/List of countries by income quintiles of GNI (PPP) per capita. I saw this page linked from your main user page. I hope you put this out as a list article in some form.

A simpler name might help comprehensibility. Maybe something like this:

"List of countries by average income per quintile"

Maybe break it up into 2 tables on the same page, or on separate pages. See also this chart. --Timeshifter (talk) 09:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

OK. Maybe the site where this page is from has some data:

http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3220

There are good charts on that site. I just recently found that site. --Timeshifter (talk) 02:33, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

{{expand}}

Hi, just to let you know, the above template which you added here has been deprecated (see here for more details), . I have changed it to {{expand section}}, which is still in use. Hope that's OK? Regards, ascidian | talk-to-me 17:42, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Household Income Page

Dear Sir,

Why are you trying to change my page on HH income? First you eliminate the median part and you use the wrong PPPs. Perhaps you can help me make the page more attractive through the graphics, like in putting the median and mean all in the same table?

Thanks,

Hi Pristino, Lnea also has concerns about your move here. Since the user is also not fine with my latest changes to this article, I opened a forum for a content-related discussion there.

Lnea, there is no such thing like "my page" here on Misplaced Pages. They all belong to all of us. Tomeasy _{T C} 22:30, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Name

Hi, I think Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad is a suitable name based on google hits. We know it was a hideout, just compound is not informative enough as he likely had several in the past. I think this is fine now.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:37, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

The reason why I've added in Abbottabad is because a man of bin Laden's stature would have had several if not tens of compounds and safehouses over the years. There was a notable one in Khartoum hwich if started would be Osama bin Laden's compound in Khartoum. You are right the word compound must be in the title as its what the media almost entirely refer to it as.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:48, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Final compound though would be awkward. I'm sure compound in Abbottabad is obvious enough to anybody searching for it. If you did have others which become know then it will be clarified at the top of the article, no problems.

Proposed deletion of List of countries by net exports

The article List of countries by net exports has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Improper synthesis (Source data is for imports/exports) of data with questionable notability. Relies on one "source" for the numbers

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hasteur (talk) 19:04, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Utoya

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Utoya. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. - 220.101 talk 19:14, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Book - undo

Hi,

Apologies for this undo of your edit but...well, I hope the edit summary will explain.

I mean no offence by it; I just think we need some proof - otherwise it's rather based on internet speculation (as far as I know?)  Chzz  ►  00:08, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

 Chzz  ►  00:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit summary

One more little thing; please could you start filling in the edit summary each time you make a change. If you look at the history, you'll see why - it's quite clear what others were doing, but it's hard to guess what each of your edits was.

There's an option in Special:Preferences (under 'editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" - you might want to check that.

Cheers,  Chzz  ►  00:23, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
