| Hello. I appreciate your interest in the number of speakers for Farsi. If you could actually provide data from sources aside from the CIA Factbook, I would appreciate it. In a book that I am currently co-authoring, we will have a list of languages spoken as a mother tongue by 50 million or more. Currently, we have not included Farsi because of lack of -- in our limited view admittedly -- is inadequate statistical support for that number of speakers. It actually helps our case to have more languages included in the list, so this is actually a sincere question. | |||
| By the way, my changes on the Farsi language entry were made in good faith. The statement that I was someone "claiming" to be an academic seemed a bit like name-calling to me, although perhaps you did not intend it to sound that way or were responding to what you thought might not have been corrections made in good faith. I hope there are no hard feelings. | |||

| Regarding my latest edit, what I did was intended to arrange the macro-families (ndo-European, Finno-Ugric...) in terms of number of speakers, not the sub families within the macro-families. I don't feel the latter is necessary, but I do think that Indo-European languages should be listed first, as they comprise the overwhelming majority of speakers. --] (]) 18:10, 10 January 2009 (UTC) | |||

| I was trying to find out whether the place is called "Iron Gate" or "Iron Gates" in English. Unfortunately, the article keeps the confusion going by being headed "Iron Gate" (singular) and then continuing to talk about "Iron Gates" (plural). Then there's the incorrect statement that the Romanian and German names for the place both mean "Iron Gates" (plural). The Romanian name "Porţile de Fier" does mean "the Iron Gates", but the German name "Eisernes Tor" means "Iron Gate" in the singular. I think the Hungarian name "Vaskapu" is also singular, otherwise it would probably end in "-k". | |||
| ==VenetianPrincess== | |||
| In short, this article is still very confusing, and makes me wonder how much of the other information in it is correct. For instance, do the Germans really just call the place "Eisernes Tor"? You'd expect the definite article, and then it would be "das Eiserne Tor" (so it isn't just a matter of adding "das" - the ending on the adjective also changes). The Romanian name does include the definite article (the ending "-le"). Bulgarian and Hungarian also have definite articles (the ending "-тe"/"-te" on the adjective and the word "a" respectively), and both are missing from the names given here. The fact that the Dutch word "nederzettingen" (settlements) was originally translated as though it read "bezettingen" (occupations) raises even more doubts in my mind about the reliability of the article. | |||
| I noticed your edit on ], which is on my watchlist as being frequently vandalized. You placed two requests for citation on her ancestry. I have a broader question: In what way is such information useful? If someone came from Liechtenstein, spoke only German at home, hung the Liechtenstein flag outside their home, then perhaps an argument could be made that their nationality was central to them. But in many articles, these claims seem...well...irrelevant...nationalistic. Even racist. Any thoughts on this? ] (]) 18:18, 21 February 2009 (UTC) | |||

| :Thanks for your question. I don't think I've ever added the nationality of anyone myself, but in a general sense, I don't see a problem with marking the nationality of people and I most certainly don't see it as racist in any way. Having said that, there are cases where it could be and it's not all that rare that such information is added for nationalistic purposes. As for how relevant it is, well, we usually have quite a lot of information about people. When they were born, where they were born, how tall they are and many other things. I don't see nationality being more or less relevant than such information, and that is of course just a personal opinion.] (]) 10:24, 23 February 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Hi! I see you tried to move the ] page to ]. I have reverted the move, not because I disagree with it, but because you're not supposed to move the page by copy-pasting the content. Copy-paste moves don't preserve the edit history of the page and therefore should never be done. Instead, the article should be moved by using the move button (see ]). This can normally be done by any editor who has an account more than 4 days old and who has more than 10 edits is usually able to move a page if the target page is a red link or a simple redirect with no edit history. If the target page has edit history, as in this case, we should let an administrator handle it, because it involves deleting the target page first (something non-admins don't have the tools to do). Usually an admin performs the move when the article has been listed at ] for a week and there's consensus on the talk page to move the article. I hope you understand my actions, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop a message on my talk page. Cheers, ] (]) 19:10, 27 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

Mallika Sherawat
Hello!
I somehow agree with what you say on Mallika Sherawat's page. First of all, don't get too fascinated by reverting others' work. You had removed the reference I've added. First of all, Rediff.com is the most reliable and unbiased Indian site on the net (you said it's a gossip magazine, quite strange to hear that). Secondly, sex symbol is not a peacock, and see WP:PEACOCK for evidence.
Regarding the writing tone, I do agree with you. Therefore, I've rewritten it and toned it down. Thanks for the help. Best regards, Shahid •

Organic Agriculture Redirect Page
Thank you for helping me as I work out how this system works. I am trying to update and enrich sections of Misplaced Pages which are related to my organization IFOAM the International Federation of Organic Agriculture www.ifoam.org. We are the Umbrella Organization for Organic Agriculture and have an official definition for Organic Agriculture which I am charged with advertising on Misplaced Pages.
The IFOAM official definition: 'Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved.'
I understand that things which are posted on wikipedia will be 'mercilessly edited' and that is fine. The issue is that we represent 'Organic Agriculture' It would be advantageous for us to find a way to have a wiki page for 'organic agriculture' rather than 'organic farming' ..
Re: Name of Iron Gate in several languages
I guess it is there in so many languages (though the reason for the Slovakian version I don't understand that much either) because of the following reasons: 1) the Danube used to be a very important international shippnig route throughout history, and this point used to be particularly important. 2) This region now belongs to Serbia and Romania, you are right, but it used to belong to several different countries in the past, just like Голубац/Golubac = Taubenberg (German --> Austro-Hungary) = Gögerdsinlik (Turkish)= Galambóc (Hungarian), that used to belong to Serbs, Turks, Hungarians and the rulers changed quite often.Myrmeleon formicarius (talk) 13:32, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
