| Mr Arnoutf | |||
| In my talk page, you have accused me of spamming. I know what spamming is, and would like to object most strongly to your use of that term. I also believe that either you, or the individuals that hide behind the apparently false names of Veinor and Madmaddog, have trashed some edits of mine without any warning whatsoever. I believe that action amounts to Vandalism. If my edits were indeed considered invalid, I believe someone should have emailed me to discuss the matter, or put a note on my talk page and given me a few days to respond. Only then would it have been reasonable to delete my work or better, to ask me to remove the edits. One does need a few days because I don’t have time to be 24/7 on Wikimedia – and indeed I have just recently seen your comment. | |||
| ] <br> | |||
| It seems to have upset you that on 3rd January I put in a few external links to particular pages in my own website, which you judge “commercial”. On 5th January I noticed my edits had somehow disappeared. I am new to editing and thought I had done them incorrectly in the first place. I spent a lot of time checking on how edits are supposed to be done and I then repeated some of them. This repetition seems to have got up someone’s nose but the intent was NOT malicious on my part. My actions where misunderstood by persons who took no trouble to contact me, who just vandalised my work and then called me foul names. | |||
| }} | |||
| __TOC__ | |||
| I am an artist, but really only a part-time one. Occasionally I even sell a painting. I have had a website for years but I don’t put things like nasty prices against my paintings and actually I have never sold a painting through the site. Unlike most other artists, while putting up images of several paintings, I do add quite a lot of text against each to explain the subject and its background, etc. Many people seem very interested in this even if none ever intends buying. I explain all this to you because I have to create all this text input. I do my research with Wikimedia and many other sources. I think Wikimedia is great and it has been very useful to me. So much so that I have long felt that I need to put something back into Wikimedia. Adding a few external references to images and text, where I hold the copyright, seemed to me to be a way of achieving an aim that I think is fairly worthy. Especially as some Wikimedia pages I edited looked badly in need of some material. | |||
| ]{{-}} | |||
| ---- | |||
| You think my website is “commercial”. Well maybe it is to some small extent, but you seem to take a very over-simplified view of life. You seem to classify websites solely as “Non-Commercial” i.e. snow-white, or “Commercial” i.e. nasty black. I believe few sites on the World Wide Web are snow-white, nearly all are somewhere along the greyscale. My “off-white” site is not worse in this respect than very many websites to which Wikimedia already links. My argument for this is as follows. Clearly ALL websites cost money to develop and maintain. Nearly all owners need to justify such investment whether they realise that need or not, or whether they try to achieve it overtly or covertly. Consider two examples. There are a great many Wikimedia links to tourist websites – which you might argue are non-commecial and justified. However, I think they are commercial and justified, because nearly all tourist organisations have the justifiable aim of luring customers with their money to their areas. The darker grey tourist websites are those that have the aim to get everyone into their souvenir shops. Next I would point to academic websites, which you might claim are uniformly non-commercial. Well, in my experience every academic website is run by some guy who is just trying to keep his job, or trying to enhance his reputation. Alternatively it is run by an organisation that is using the site covertly to help get a government grant or to generate paid consultancy. I agree Wikimedia shouldn’t have links to sites of retail companies – but my website is not quite in that class. Although I would not object to selling a painting, actually my main aim is to illustrate beautiful subjects and to help inform people about those subjects. Please try to see and judge greyscales, and perhaps even to appreciate and enjoy some of the beautiful colour in life. | |||
| Now, I wish to turn to the accusation that I hold self-glorification aims. In my website, I don’t comment on my ability, but leave visitors to judge the quality of my work. I will not be communicating with your colleagues Veinor and Madmaddog because I have done some research on these people on Wikimedia and I believe them to be below contempt. Both claim to spend a lot of time playing computer games. It seems to me they bring this juvenile pass-time into their Wikimedia work because they appear to love zapping everyone they don’t like the look of. Veinor does it a lot and then claims to be “flamed” or “vandalized” often when his victims answer back or complain about him. This individual (whoever he is) makes the claim in Wikimedia, (and I quote him) “I am an advanced perl programmer, intemediate C programmer, expert mathematician”. Is this self-glorification WITHIN Wikimedia, or is he just using Wikimedia to look for a day-job. Madmaxdog (obviously not man-enough to reveal his real name) claims (and I quote him) "This user is bright". “I have a master’s degree in engineering”. | |||
| You might mention to Madmaxdog that besides being an artist, I have far better academic engineering qualifications than he, and also have the highest professional engineering qualifications. But I wouldn’t dream of taking self-glorification to the degree that he does of flaunting my qualifications in a published encyclopedia. | |||
| Mr Arnoutf, I feel a badly treated and I hope you now understand why that is so. I would like to know if you Wikimedia guard dogs are appointed by some high authority or are just self appointed people with time on their hands? Just don’t call me a spammer. | |||
| Stanley Port. <sub>Posted Jan 8th 15.09 from anonimous IP 84.43.125.193 originally on my main page, after revert (thanks for that JWJW), I pulled it up and copied it here ] 18:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC) </sup> | |||
| === Response === | |||
| Going through this - Putting up multiple links to commercial websites is considered spamming at Wiki. | |||
| Reverting harmful edits (such as removing links to commercial websites) is not considered vandalism; leaving them up during a discussion with the author is not a good idea because during the discussion truly harmful edits will remain up for a while as well. | |||
| It is not true that you have not been pointed out that you should not put up links, your user page lists 4 warnings from Jan 3rd. As you made edits on Jan 5th you should have seen these (there is a You have new messages banner). | |||
| Actually the fact that you started reinserting the removed links caused you being blocked. They were not a few links, as you state but several dozens. It cost me about 15 minutes to remove those I took out, I am sure it took the others a similar amount of time. That is why it is called vandalism; it requires editors to spend a lot of time recreating status-quo. If you had put up the link only on one or two pages I am pretty sure you would have been warned and rewarnder, explanation and edit summaries would probably have been given. However the sheer amount of effort reverting your work prompted a fairly aggressive response, listing you as a spammer and getting you blocked. | |||
| Your argument that you are new does not suffice either, you should have started out a bit more modest; note that especially new editors can be harmful because a lot of accounts are only created for malicious reasons. Your track record only shows addition of the link to your own website which strengthen this image. | |||
| Referring to own works, whether photo's paintings or other is not the best way to provide links. Especially not paintings as these are subjective in nature (which is their strength; but not for an encyclopedia). By the way I have been removing many photo album links as well. | |||
| You acknowledge your website is (at least partially) commercial, so you justify the removal of the links. | |||
| What you put on your own user-space is your own business, people who put their abilities(or even fictitious ones) there are free to do so; as long as it is not openly offensive. | |||
| I do not consider myself a 'guard' dog there are much fiercer vandalism fighters; but yes that task is self-appointed. However if other editors agree they in turn can accuse the reverting editor of vandalism. By the way, I did not block you, but attended administrators, who obivously agreed; even more, they have looked at your edits and determined that they were that serious in nature that you should be block indefinitely (rather then a usual first offender block of only a few days). Indefinitely is however not infinitely, it is now up to you to convince the administrators that you may be unblocked (by putting a message on your own talk page or sending an unblock mail). I will not object you being unblocked as long as you do not start all over with putting up the link to your paintings. | |||
| The choice of an alibi is open to everyone, some of the best editors go around with the strangest names, that says nothing about their worth for wiki. | |||
| ] 18:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| PS posting a message on an editors personal main page '''IS''' considered vandalism, that is why there are talk pages. | |||
| == Paul111 == | |||
| I'm getting so tired of his behaviour. He's indirectly accusing us of being Nazis or far right activists, only posts commentaries on talk pages (he does not reply to our reactions) he always states the same, makes up his own definitions of well established terms and keeps accusing one of, if not thé most referenced articles on an ethnic group on wikipedia of being unreferenced. It's ridiculous. Just look at the load of referenced facts he's now removed.] 12:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : He is as stubborn as you are, only you are stubborn in adding text; which in my opinion is a more positive stubborness. Paul111 is stubborn in deletions; which is an easy and safe way of POV pushing (and IMHO a negative way of contributing to a debate, mind you deletion when necessary ok, but only deleting is not very positive). He is indeed also very impolite; and to be honest I only heard the name stormfront once or twice on documentaries warning against neonazism before. It seems to me he is a bit obsessed/paranoid with seeing extreme right wing plot everywhere. I just try to remain as polite as possible, but have to admit, am getting tired of it too. ] 12:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Good faith == | |||
| Please keep content discussions about the article ] on that articles talk page. The claim that the Dutch are a Germanic people is indeed firmly associated with small far-right groups, mostly in Flanders, some of which are explicitly neo-Nazi. This is a reason to avoid presenting it in the article as a mainstream opinion, and should be raised. Support for the unification of Flanders and the Netherlands also comes almost entirely from the right, generally to the right of ]. Again the article must place this in context. There is absolutely no reason to be silent on this, and allow a distorted article, just because some editors are personally offended.] 12:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : You may have seen my many edits acknowledging just that. Only whenever someone sais there are relation between the Dutch and the Flemish; you start shouting about alleged right-wing sympathies. That is not assuming good faith.... ] 12:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : Oh and by the way; the only comment I made on your page was putting up the <nowiki>{{AGF1}}</nowiki> template message, which has no article content whatsoever; this in stark contrast to your message above (which is a summary of your often repeated and wild claims in the ] debate. Your remark above confirms my placement of the template; the self confirmed offending of editors is mainly the result of (implictly) implying these editors (including me) of extreme right-wing POV; which is indeed an offense to me; so I cannot do otherwise than concluding you are consistently ]. ] 18:12, 14 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Maps == | |||
| Hi Arnout, I just reverted the new country map on ] as you did before. I'm mostly active on nl.wikipedia but drop in here once a day/two days and of course always check on the Netherlands article. In nl.wikipedia the discussion about the EU-maps of David Liuzzo has petered out (in temporary favour of the old green/black/grey ones), but I see that it's still raging here. How do you estimate the chance of the community here reaching a consensus? Not that saying "en.wikipedia does this" actually works with us stubborn Dutch, it would actually achieve the opposite in most cases, but en.wikipedia does have a much larger userbase, so a new standard can be developed here by communal effort. On nl.wikipedia it would fall on the shoulders of just a couple of people (prolly including me). I must say I think Rei-arturs maps aren't that bad (although extremely and unnecessarily large sometimes) compared to both the old sets and the Liuzzo-maps. What's your take on this? (I'll put this page on my watchlist, please answer here). Groeten, ]<small>|]-]|</small> 01:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : I have no idea how that will evolve. I think the point is well taken that the old maps are course and maybe replaced with more detailed onces. The big question however is whether those should be de David Liuzzo ones. The debate seems to settle against David Liuzzo though for several reasons (see: ]) first of all his focus on Europe / EU only maps. The colour scheme and rivers are not appreciated by all editos. And his copyright message which does not fully release it to public domain. If you are interested in the whole discussion it is the ] you can best follow, as there are quit a few editors with different backgrounds involved in this. ] 12:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :: Mmmm there are now some self-appointed new map defenders who put up the new maps on every EU article and keep reverting it to that as minor revisions without edit summary; I still hope to find a solution thorugh discussion on the country project; but right now the debate seems to be deadlocked. ] 10:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::Thanks. I have written a note at ]--]<sup>]</sup> 16:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ===Summary of maps poll=== | |||
| Hi Arnoutf. I'm afraid you're overemphasizing the viewpoints of opponents of the new maps, e.g. ''Supporters of the new maps '''think''' ... opponents '''mention''' ''in a same sentence, this says almost 'supporters have a subjective feeling but opponents point out a fact'. And many generalizations can be avoided. Sample: ''Supporters of the new format dislike the plain grey-green; supportes of the old format dislike the new color scheme''. I'm a supporter of the new maps but I and many others did not state to dislike the grey-green, nor that it was plain... or ''The current copyright with which the maps were uploaded is not a full release to the public domain, opponents state that for full adoption of the maps this is an essential precondition'' but as you can see on my proposed 'final survey', I too most decidedly refuse to consider usage of new maps if the licence is not taken care of. I also would keep it a little shorter, some minor points can be read in the poll votes; it's a summary. I know you to have done a good job, don't take this wrong. Do you trust me to revise your summary mixing the way I would do it with your approach? — of course you can always revert if it would not be to your liking. I first thought of putting 'my' style summary underneath but I would be tempted to make that a contrast and thus not really good either, and two lengthy summaries would be a pest for readers. Can we work together on one summary then? — ] <span style="font-size:.87em;">]] 20:11 (UTC)</span> | |||
| : You make some good points, but I'd rather edit them myself taking account of your comments; the opponents voice a larger array of arguments, that is the reason why they come across with more; but I think that was a bit inherent to the survey as it was set up. ] 21:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :: I tried to make it more neutral. I would like to keep arguments in the same sentence if they are actually opposite, because that shows perspective. I think especially the header new or old maps gives a powerful argument in favour of change (although not necessarily towards the David Liuzzo maps). If you don't agree with the comment, feel free to ammend in a short aftherthought; my classification is necessarily interpretation. ] 21:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::It is not easy to mention a POV without giving the impression to either support or oppose it. I'm going to sleep now but three things I hope you can fix:<br/>1) "unnecessarily EUrocentric" is mentioned by one 'old'-voter (with the red IP) (and another - #13. - seconds that voter who however brought lots of other criticism. In the summary ''you'' actually name it EU-centricity, opponents mentioned Europe, the continent, not the EU. As maps without EU highlighting are equally available (both kinds if properly licenced), it is the whole ''continent'' that gets shown and not the EU.<br/>2) Your summary fails to spot what surprised me: of 18 ''opponents'', only the one-and-a-half forementioned votes showed any objection to EU highlighting. It does not play for 'old' maps, but as these voters are mainly opponents of the new maps I had rather expected them to criticize pro-EU arguments.<br/>3) Also your statement "Most supporters of the EU-highlighted maps mention that the EU is important enough to warrant a clearly visible entity for its members; many opponents disagree." fails to point out that supporters do not just talk about the 'importance' of the EU (perhaps NATO is important as well) but give ''arguments'' e.g. 1. indicating countries having given away their power to the EU (Nobody mentioned the following, but the former indications refer to countries becoming subdivisions of the EU without any opting-out formula, same as a region or province cannot freely step out of a country: Quebec or Flanders might more easily become independent from their country, than a EU-member from the EU); 2. the EU having many of the characteristics of a nation-country (democratic elections - thus not like other inter- or supranational entities; government and parliament; law-making binding for each member, law enforcement, etc - a member state ''must'' comply and cannot make a law stick to its own inhabitants if that law goes against EU laws, like a US state has to respect federal laws); in fact ''very few'' opponents (considering ''also'' the 18 'old'-voters) seemed to disagree and more significantly noticeable: there are hardly any counter-argumentations presented. — ] <span style="font-size:.87em;">]] 02:03-02:12 (UTC)</span> | |||
| :: It is a summary. I think the EU-issue is just a fundamental disagreement, thus should be summarised very briefly (as I don't see how this will be solved here). In brief The EU-centricity links in with the highlighting but also with the positioning; the old maps (more or less) depict the country which it is focussed upon as central, the new map has only one version; which may not be adequate for Cyprus or Iceland. Furthermore, the US states cannot go against federal law, just as the EU states cannot go against EU treaties, just as any states cannot go against WTO treaties. EU laws are only affectuated after a unanimous agreement of all countries to delegate that bit of power to the EU; so each and every country has to agree with an EU regulation before it applies (this is why e.g. Denmark has no Euro, and why there are so much problems with the constitution). Furhtermore, every country can step out of the EU if they like; the economic/social consequences of doing so are prohibitve not the legal/military ones. But if you think the eurocentricity paragraph needs more attention, please make a short posting where you explain the different issues. I think that as it cannot easily be solved it should merely be mentioned. ] 08:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :: '''final remark''' For now I have spent too much time here already, just a final remark on my choices. Originally I voiced a support for the non-EU version of the D-L maps. However, some arguments came up which swayed me to the Rei-Artur maps. These are mainly technical but I also acknowledge the need for a better representation of countries on the boundary of the EU. Personally I have some problem with the level of detail, especially the choice of rivers seems a bit arbitrary, why not depicting largerivers like the Maas, or Schelde? And to be honest I think the world locator (black) is very hard to read and looks really ugly. So during the poll I have become convinced we need new maps, but that the D-L maps are not the best way forward. You may have seen my many discussion lower on the country talk page; on which there was some response, but none of the supporters of the D-L maps. I agree my summary may slightly overrepresent some of the opponent issues, but again it is a summary, and the number of distinctly different arguments among opponents was larger (with a lot of the arguments of the supporters docussing on the political reality of the EU which I counted as the same set of arguments). In almost all issues though there is the voice of both supporters and opponents, and only in the technical issues there is a real inbalance, but then again, supporters did not comment on technical problems with their favoured choice (except for the license). For now I want to leave it up like this, and would like to know how other editors, besides you and me respond to this. ] 08:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Joan Miró == | |||
| Hello Arnoutf, thanks for your message. | |||
| With reference to my edit to the Miró article, what I actually removed was "-Spanish", not "Spanish", for the simple reason that the hyphenated expression "Catalan-Spanish" is meaningless. One could perhaps make a case for "Spanish-Catalan", but again this would only really make sense in a context where it was necessary to distinguish between "French-Catalan" and "Spanish-Catalan". | |||
| As for your contention that many readers may not know that Catalonia is part of Spain, that information is provided in the very first sentence of the article ("...born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain"). Similarly, a reader confused by the word "Catalan" is only a click away from discovering that "the Catalans are an ethnic group or nation concentrated within Spain's autonomous community of Catalonia..." That's what an encyclopaedia is for: to tell people things they don't know! | |||
| Which brings me to your point that "Spanish is essential for non-Spanish Wiki users (Catalan is not, so if anything should be removed it is that)". The obvious objection here is that removing "Catalan" and leaving "Spanish" would deprive the reader of information about Miró's ethnicity, language, identification with a cultural group and so on. A further consideration is that Catalan culture is not circumscribed by Spanish culture: "Catalan" does not always imply "Spanish". Removing "Spanish", on the other hand, would leave the hypothetical confused reader in the position I describe in the previous paragraph: a click away from discovering that modern Spain is a pluricultural, plurilingual country. | |||
| You mention the discussion on the Talk:Joan Miró page. I assure you that I read it before making my edit. I'm not sure that it's really fair to say that the issue has been discussed "at length". What little discussion there is focuses on the "Catalan-speaking world" box, which has long since been removed. Not a single one of the participants in the discussion is in favour of "Catalan-Spanish" and yet that is the solution that has been adopted. Strange. You say that international editors demanded the inclusion of Spanish: how about posting a summary of your reasons? I have to say that the distinction you draw between "international editors" and "Catalan editors" is slightly puzzling. Does international mean "non-Catalan"? Are Catalan editors considered incapable of NPOV? How about Spanish editors? | |||
| OK, I guess that's it. To recap: "Catalan-Spanish" is a disaster. Even "Spanish (Catalan)" would be better, if Misplaced Pages is really convinced that the world isn't ready for "Catalan artists" to take their place alongside "Scottish painters" (see the article on Jack Vettriano) and "Flemish composers" (see the article on Wim Henderickx). One possible advantage of "Spanish (Catalan)" is that curious readers would have the chance to click on the link, thereby increasing the number of Wiki users who have heard of Catalonia, Catalans, Catalan, etc. and reducing the chances of them shying like startled horses the next time someone refers to Gaudí as a Catalan architect or to Pau Casals as a Catalan cellist... | |||
| ] 22:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Your latest vote on location maps == | |||
| </div></div> | |||
| == Engels == | |||
| Hi Arnoutf. You know very well that the vote you brought violates every aspect set out in the presentation. As it stands, it can only be 'invalid': | |||
| *The survey only handles the new maps. You vote for something else, if someone would vote for green elephants under some option, that vote would not be counted either. Regardless whether other elements of that vote might appear interesting or valid. | |||
| *Redesigned maps are not available and will not so by the time of closing. Hence, your 'condition' is not met and your vote appears to be canceled by your own request. But ''that'' argument will not be considered: "All votes including remarks like 'weak', 'strongest' etc are of equal weight." | |||
| *The presentation states how votes are handled. Your idea of shifting such way but not some other way, breaches the set-out presentation under which you vote. It is not possible to have individuals saying "if my vote for the 5th candidate of his party does not get her elected, my vote can be supporting the party's order or candidates if it helps the 2nd candidate, but not if it helps the 4th candidate. You vote for candidate #5 and the rules and votes of others equally by the rules, will tell whether it happens to get the 2nd or the 4th candidate in parliament or city council. You have no say in such. That goes for everyone. | |||
| What you ''can'' do, is giving an unconditional vote for e.g. for I.c. and stipulate that you ''actually still prefer green elephants''.<br/>Now I'm normally most willing to ''assume'' good faith, but you had explicitly asked about these matters and by the answers know precisely that this cannot possibly contribute to the survey; and you know the nicknames of people most likely to use this to dispute the survey the way it was done with the outcome of the first poll. You know very well that the survey is designed and presented as a closed-options survey, and why. Thus this vote is a manipulation and if not a pure attempt to sabotage the survey, then it clearly breaches ]. Such is great in a discussion (my ''green elephants'') but in a survey it is as much out of place as in an article. So please be sincere with yourself about what moved you to present a vote like that, and continue to try making Misplaced Pages better. Please do not accuse me of not having enough good faith, my addressing you here on the talk page you have at your control, proves I still like to trust your good judgement and honesty. — ] <span style="font-size:.87em;">]] 21:40 (UTC)</span> | |||
| Ik zou het geen near-native level noemen, het niveau waarop jij de Engelse taal beheerst. | |||
| : I am sure you have good faith, and I trust your intentions, however, my vote as cast is indeed meant to show that the setup you chose is invalid (especially hte adding options of which you assume they maybe reasonable to the voters, but with which I obviously disagree). Indeed I do not like the proposed maps because they have undeniable usability and technical problems, and I agree to overcome these would require more than a single simple update. Hence you may count my vote as Oppose (which was not an option); or count it as invalid, but IMHO that will do more to invalidate your own poll. ] 08:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Perhaps it might not be very obvious to every reader of the above, but it appears my trust in your good judgement was on the dot. I'm not sure about reaching a clear consensus regarding maps to be used, but I think we've proven discussion to be a way towards acceptance of non-perfect solutions, which is kind of a consensus and I think helps our common interest in improving WP.

| Hey Arnout, | |||
| :Hi ], I do not say she was not a very important atheist. But her role (while clearly important in the US, I do not deny that) most of it seems indeed focussed on the (very influential) court cases in the US in that 70s and 80s. There are however several reasons not to list her name at the atheism main page in my view | |||
| :(1) Given the English Wiki is de facto the global Wiki in my view we should give priority to topics of global and not US specific focus (e.g. was she at a global level more (lastingly) important than e.g. ] and ]? | |||
| :(2) Currently the see also section does not list any person but directs to a list of persons. As those lists do include O'Hair, do we really (also) need to include her name in the main article. And if so, how do we (a) decide what names should be on (e.g. the above mentioned Dawkins and Russell but who else) and (b) how do we prevent that the see also section bloats to unmanageable proportion as many people may want their personal inspiration or youth memory on important atheists listed. | |||
| :There is no doubt in my mind that your addition was in good faith aiming to improve the project. However, for the 2 reasons above I think it is better to keep the current also section without listing any person (including O'Hair, Dawkins, Russell). ] (]) 17:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Arnoutf, did you see that Lear 21 deleted the table you had created (and that I had amended)? His attitude is bullying and uncompromising. He edits the article at will, as if he owned it, with total disregard for the discussion going on on the talk page. This guy must be stopped! Just to bring you a bit of insight: from what I understand, Lear 21 is from Berlin, and as you notice a list of EU cities ranked by population within city limits puts Berlin 2nd in Europe, whereas by urban or metro area population Berlin is not even in the top 5. I guess that's why this Lear 21 insists on having a list of city propers only. I see he's already engaged in a revert war in the ] article with user Keizuko over the ranking of Berlin. He's deleting references to Berlin urban area population ranking. So I think his perspective here is quite clear: to make his hometown appear as big as possible. | |||
| {| style="width: 100%;" | |||
| Concerning your latest modified table, I agree with changes, but there are still two things that should be changed in my opinion: for Randstad and Rhine-Ruhr, no central city should be given. Did you see how I amended your table in the article (before Lear 21 deleted the table)? I wrote "no single core city". Also, cities should be ranked in alphabetical order, because we have three different rankings now, so it doesn't make sense to choose one ranking over the other, and it's also confusing to the readers. Anyway, if things get nasty I am quite decided to report this to administrators. This Lear 21 has an absolutely unfriendly attitude. I hope you will support me. ] 14:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

 | This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries. |
- If you post a message on my talk page, I will also answer here, in general I will not write a response on your talk page. So if you want to know the answer to a remark, please check back here.
- Although I am Dutch myself I prefer to discuss in English as standard language and will maintain that even here. This allows every visitor to see what we are talking about.
- For discussions on articles, in general I prefer to use the talk page of that article instead of talking through the personal talk pages; this in order to maintain centralised discussion.

Hi there. In the 1970s to the 1980s, when I was growing up in the United States, atheist was synonymous with Madalyn Murray O'Hair. She was on the Johnny Carson show.

There are however several reasons not to list her name at the atheism main page in my view
