| Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. Your Q7 really made me think about Misplaced Pages in a way I never had. I especially appreciate your willingness to forgive my past actions and put your trust in me. It does means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of ].<br> | |||

| Thanks for pointing this out! I've whitelisted : in the script as a character safe to output directly into URLs (MediaWiki seems to put colons directly into the URLs, rather than URL-encoding them like it does with most other punctuation marks; I hadn't realised this before your comment). I've now corrected the script appropriately; the fix may not appear for you until you ]. --] 08:36, 2 July 2007 (]]]) | |||
| == Nominator == | |||
| <s>Hello, i am the user known as onopearls. although i feel that you have every right to criticize a nominator, to call their intentions questionabe is, in my opinion, uncouth. How long a user has been editing wikipedia or how long an account has been active shouldn't play such a significant role in your judgement of a nominator, and saying that the noms intentions are "fishy" is unjust without background knowledge. i have been editing wikipedia for close to three years, but never felt that a account was nessecary. i have also edited much more than 167 times. my short sentence can be attributed to the fact that i have never nominated a user before. i will write a longer one the next time nominate a user, should i ever do that again. please dont consider this a personal attack, but i felt that your accusations were misguided, and that i needed to set the record straight.

| Actually it wasn't a test - I used the information in the article as a starting point for this fictional article: http://serv01.siteground133.com/~europea1/index.php?title=Dagger_STS/STG | |||
| <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) 23:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC{{{3|}}})</small> | |||
| Well being lazy I CTRL+X'ed the contents rather than CTRL+C'ed them, and then without thinking saved the page >.< | |||
| Well - I noticed when I was presented with a blank page afterwards with the word 'whooooops' reverberating around my head. Being as I'd just cut the lot I had it in my clipboard easily available and just pasted it back in. I was a little worried I'd be banned for it >.< | |||
| Oh - just FYI - I've finished the article that I used this one as a base for: http://serv01.siteground133.com/~europea1/index.php?title=Dagger_STS/STG | |||

| Thanks for going to all of the trouble. Cheers, ]] ] 21:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == vandalism == | |||
| i am conducting no vandalism; i've been working very hard to improve articles by making sure both German and Italian is used. I've upgraded a lot of the village homepages to new templates, etc. please, assume good faith. :( | |||
| :sorry if it was misconstrued as vandalism; it was not. I have tried to make sure and use Alto Adige and Sud Tirol in the historical context, and the Province of Bolzano-Bozen when referring to the actual modern day province. | |||
| ::That part is a bit difficult to be exact, because during that time there was only the County of Tirol under the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Both Alto Adige and Sud Tirol are terms that have become more used in modern times. Alto Adige (technically) came out of the early 1800s, and Sud Tirol was used more after WWI. But to answer your question, at that time there was no ''Sud Tirol'' proper. I guess to be more precise, it could be written that he was in the city of Bolzano-Bozen in what was the County of Tirol (in present day Alto Adige/Sud Tirol). I was mainly trying to make sure at least both German and Italian terms were referenced. | |||
| :::Ok, let's go through this together. I'm (slowly) beginning to understand the difficulties here. <s>Why are there three different articles (], ] and ]) for the same region anyway? Maybe we should link to each of those from the "See also" section in the articles you edited.</s> —''']''' (]) 22:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Looking at the page, I believe they are trying to work that out a compromise as they did on ]. I do not care so much, as long as they hopefully choose something that respects both speakers. There is some difficulty though because the area names of these provinces correspond also with the actual province names. I.e., ] == ]. ] == ]. So it does get confusing I guess. | |||
| :::::Good idea; though I've spent more time than I should today on Misplaced Pages. :-) I wish my Greek friend would relax a bit too, and assume good faith; I mean, he could of simply asked. If you look at my edits I try to be very consistent, on the city pages I go out of my way to make sure I have both German and Italian, etc. | |||
| (outdent) Hmm. Maybe there lies the problem. I'm not currently able to discern all involved aspects, but my guess is that it's really confusing to have three different articles: ], ], and ] which comprises the former both. In your own opinion, is it possible that those articles are ]? | |||
| On an unrelated note: It's common to ] your posts on Misplaced Pages talk pages. You can do that by putting four tilde characters in the end of your comment, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> | |||
| Also, Misplaced Pages doesn't "walk away". If you don't have the time right now, check back tomorrow and we can continue the discussion, just let me know. —''']''' (]) 23:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : Yeah, I think I now need a break. Hopefully the work I did on the province towns wasn't reverted too. I don't think these links are POV forks in this case; they express the reality. There is the overall region ]. That region is made up of two subregions ] and ]. Those subregions happen to overlay the actual provinces: ] and ], respectively. That is the hierarchy really. There is some POV involved because of two different language groups, that is for sure. Some would only want ] or even incorrect translations like ]; and I guess these you would call POV forks. I'm trying to think of an example in the US. Maybe it would be similar to the name ] and ] (when comparing ] to ]). As far as the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, it is just a region like ]. In this case it is only made up of two provinces, where Tuscany is multiple. Either way, it makes sense to have a regional page and then provincial pages. The part that makes things really confusing, in my opinion, is when people use just ], because you get the impression it is a province or even a republic, which it is not. It is the English translation of a German name of the area. ] 23:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::If you want a quick overview of your edits, go ]. I reverted many of them, as I suspected them to be vandalism, but they appear not to be intentional vandalism. I would however go with the name of the article. If there is consensus to use the name South Tyrol, it should be used in other articles as well, unless there is a compelling reason to use one of the alternative names. —''']''' (]) 23:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :::Yeah, the problem is that sometimes it makes sense to use Trentino and sometimes Province of Trento (or Autonomous Province of Trento). Most often articles refer to the provinces (like a list of provinces, a governor of the province, etc.). So saying that so and so is governor of the province of Alto Adige, or province of South Tyrol, is wrong. That is why I thought there were redirects actually, to deal with that. Anyway, thanks for having a discussion on this at least. :-) ] 00:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
