| Greetings, Jonel (in my previous edit I had mistaken you for Chris, the last user to post here. Sorry about that). I hope this is the place to leave a message, as I am still fairly new at editting Misplaced Pages pages. I see you have removed the ] entry, but as far as I know I have not violated any copyright laws. Although I did not explicitly state so, I obtained permission from the original writer of the history of the site. If improper acknowledgement was the case, I would understand the deletion of the history, but why the brief description too? Thanks for your time and patience. ] 22:40, 13 June 2005 | |||
| ==Heads of State== | |||
| The Heads of State in the year pages are nice, but not very comprehensive. (See my additions to ]). You should look at , which gives pretty much all rulers of the 18th through 20th centuries. ] 04:55, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) | |||
| How about if we move the Heads of State to new pages, ], or what not, and link to it from the main page? That way we could have all the information without discriminating among countries. ] 05:37, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) | |||
| As to red links, those are made to be filled in. It's better to just put them all in at once, so people can slowly add them, rather than not having them, in which case there may be an article, and no one knows simply because the person who created it didn't realize that the list existed. ] 05:39, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) | |||
| And the German states from 1871-1918 are a rather special case - they were semi-sovereign, and the Kingdoms, at least, and some of the other states (Hesse, for instance, maybe Baden), still sent out diplomatic representatives. I think they're valid, but you're right that it's too long to keep them on the main year page. ] 05:40, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) | |||
| Good work on the heads of state pages. I have some concerns, however. | |||
| *Why is "Head of State" capitalized in the article title? It's Misplaced Pages policy to use lowercase when possible. | |||
| *A whole new title might even be preferable as heads of state is too limiting. In my opinion it would be best to have Prime Ministers, U.N. Secretary generals, Popes, etc. on the list as well. | |||
| *Also it would be best if each article linked to the actual year article, and also to the directory of all the head of state listings at ]. - ] 17:58, Apr 23, 2004 (UTC) | |||

| Was Abkhazia a "state"? Did it even exist as a sovereign entity? Now, I know, it's an autonomous entity under Georgia, but would it really have been considered a "state" back then? ] 03:07, Apr 23, 2004 (UTC) | |||

| You have a little typo on your user page - "1879" rather than "1789" in Abkhazia. I would fix it myself, but I'm not sure if it's considered rude to modify someone else's user page (even in such a trivial way). | |||

| Please STOP. The stubs you are creating are not very useful and will all have to be reworked, so could you stop creating them while we discuss what should be done with this series. You are continuing to ignore the violation of capitalization rules. - ] 22:28, Apr 23, 2004 (UTC) | |||

| Please see ], make comments, etc. ] 02:35, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC) | |||
| Point taken on the difference between "Heads of State" and "Heads of Government", but wouldn't it make sense to combine the two under one more all-encompassing heading? Getting as many contemporary leaders or whatnot in one place, regardless of their actual title seems somewhat worthwhile. Also, for these pages to be at all useful will take alot of time and work, doubling that amount with two different headings seems masochistic. -] | |||
| ---- | |||
| Great work on the 2003 incumbents page. In many ways a list like this is the most useful part of the year articles fro how we link them. For a user who reads that "X happened in year Y" knowing who was in power then is far more relevant than a list of random events as we have on the main year pages. - ] 19:24, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC) | |||
| ==Links to people with diacritics in names== | |||
| Your state leader lists have a fair bit of broken links because they link the proper, literal names of certain people, whereas their article names in the English Misplaced Pages don't have various acutes, haceks etc. Examples include ], ], ]. I suggest that you pipe-link the article name (the one without the accent). --] 19:50, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC) | |||
| ==Colonial Governors== | |||
| If you're adding Ottoman dependencies, or whatever, to the colonial page, perhaps a different name is in order for that series. ] 20:10, 1 May 2004 (UTC) | |||
| Maybe of colonies and dependencies in XXXX]], or something, would make sense. ] 20:34, 1 May 2004 (UTC) | |||
| ==The Completeness of Denmark== | |||
| Are we taking a country as complete if listed to 1700... or to the states foundation? I suppose we could use the to do page to concentrate on post-1700, and hence line through countries complete to that date...--] 09:51, 2 May 2004 (UTC) | |||
| ==North Yemen== | |||
| Hi. I am looking at your list of premiers of North Yemen. In a book I have at home (''Heads of State and Government, 1945-1992'') I have a very different list. Just wondering what your source is. ] 03:06, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC) | |||
| My book could also be wrong. It is all pretty confusing with three different Yemens. ] 03:15, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC) | |||
| No problems. I was pretty convinced my book was wrong. ] 03:22, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC) | |||
| Looks good now. Thanks. ] 03:45, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC) | |||
| == Ship articles == | |||
| I note that you're adding ship articles with HTML table markup. Standard tables for various navies in wiki markup can be found pff the ship wikiproject page. I find the wiki markup a lot easier on the eyes when working with tables. ] 19:57, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC) | |||
| :Since I only put that collection of standard tables there yesterday you can be forgiven for missing it! | |||
| :I've had the collection linked off my own user page for a while now, modelled on the standard table in the standard table list for the whole Misplaced Pages, but I hadn't got round to transferring them to the Wikiproject page. ] 22:53, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC) | |||
| You've added a lot of ships of the United States navy, and put them mostly in ]. The recommended practice is to put articles in the ''most specific'' category (or categories) available. In this case, I think ], a subcategory of ] and ], would be the right place. ] should really just have a few "orphans", ships that don't belong in other categories. So it would be nice if you could re-categorize your contributions. ] 23:14, 2004 Aug 8 (UTC) | |||
| ==List of colonial governorsin ...== | |||
| A number of these pages have a bad overlap problem with the section lines drawn by the new software. It appears to resolve when more than three countries are listed triggering the TOC. Are you planning to work on these further? Also I wonder what happens if you choose to turn TOC's off. ] 14:39, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC) | |||

| == Re:Olympic archery - names == | |||
| East Asian surnames should go first so it should be Xue Haifeng instead of Haifeng Xue (as a rule for people from mainland China, the part with two syllables are the given names and go last but this is difficult to tell for the Taiwanese and Koreans who sometimes put a space between given names). | |||
| I'm not familiar with Korean names (maybe ask ]), but I believe the correct form is Im Dong-hyun, with Im the surname. This means what's in the rankings table needs to be converted into what's into the bullet point listing. As for Im Dong Hyun vs. Im Dong-Hyun I'm not really sure since the capitalization and use of dashes in Korea (as in Taiwan and Hong Kong) isn't fully standardized. Try googling to see which one is more common. --]] 09:04, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC) | |||
| ==Netherlands Antilles at the 2004 Summer Olympics== | |||
| Hi,<br> | |||
| I just did a copy of this article for German Misplaced Pages. In the database of the Games I couldn't find an entry for tennis player Jean-Julien Rojer. Further there was no entry in the start list for swimmer Silvie Ketelaars. Do you have other sources, which may can verify this information. -- ] | |||
| Thanks for your inquiry. Ketelaars is still listed as participant on athens2004.com, though she probably did not compete. After finishing all articles about the eleven sportspeople from Netherlands Antilles I'll try to contact the NOC to get more background information. -- ] | |||
| ==Olympics and highlighting== | |||
| Hi, I noticed you were highlighted and reformatting all the Athletics sections of the individual country pages for these Olympics. Personally, I really think the highlighting becoems excessive, especially for pages like the US page, where there are SO many medal winners (now repeated not only in the medal sections, but in the sports section as well). I personally think it would make more sense to seperate by "sport", and then sort by sport, but list sport on the same line as the athletes name. Keep the medal winners only in the medal table, and not do the massvie highlighting so everyone can read. Is there a discussion going on about how to format all these pages? If not, I think we should make one- so at the least, we can get everything to one standard format. Thanks! ] 05:44, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC) | |||
| : Perhaps we should start a discussion? Maybe on the wikiproject page? I think it should be done, so we can get the format stable.... I know when I was making some smaller country pages, that was NOT the format I used, and I thought I was being consistant with the normal format. *shrugs* whoops :P. ] 05:57, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC) | |||
| == Article Licensing == | |||
| Hi, I've started the ] which has the goals of getting users to ] all of their contributions that they've made to... | |||
| #...all U.S. state, county, and city articles... | |||
| #...all articles... | |||
| using the ] Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') version 1.0 and 2.0 ]s or into the ] if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the ] (which every contribution made to Misplaced Pages is licensed under), but it allows '''other projects''', such as ], to use our articles (See the ] for more information). Since you are among the ] most active Wikipedians, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. | |||
| :'''Nutshell:''' Misplaced Pages articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. ]) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too. | |||
| To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the '''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>''' template (or '''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>''' for ]) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at ]. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: | |||
| :'''Option 1''' | |||
| :<nowiki>I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki> | |||
| :<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki> | |||

| :<nowiki>I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki> | |||
| :<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki> | |||
| Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace '''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>''' with '''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''. If you only prefer using the ], I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' at my ''']''' what you think. -- ] 17:57, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC) | |||

| Nice addition. However, please be aware of the distinction between "challenger" and "open seat" races -- the former is generally used only to refer to races where the incumbent is running for re-election. Inslee's 1992 race was for an open seat, as was his 1996 gubernatorial primary bid, and I've been unable to find any information on his 1988 election to the state legislature. ] ] 02:42, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC) | |||

| : The archery information is coming mostly from the ]. Their website is here - . Records information comes from along with medals history. I also have been using David Wallechinsky's ''Complete Book of the Olympics'' for some rules minutiae and other such information I haven't been able to find elsewhere. If you know of a source that has results for the 1988 team competitions (FITA only gives individual for that year, and Wallechinsky only has the top 8), that would be very helpful. -- ] 19:19, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thanks for the info. Is any of the material such as from olympic.org protected? ] | |||
| ::: Well, all of my sources are copyrighted. However, I am not copy/pasting from any of them. If you take a look at, say, the 1988 individual results on archery.org and compared that to the WP page, you'll see a huge difference in the presentation. I am using facts obtained from the sources, not re-using their presentation (which would be a violation of copyright law). For more information, please see the articles on ], especially ]. -- ] 20:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Hey, just curious to know why we have a top-8 table not a medals table for ]. It would be an interesting piece to put on a sub page, e.g. "Cycling at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Country Performance Comparison" (i'm sure there could be a more snappy title), but to my mind a medals table would be more proper. At any case, cheers for the work being done on this cluster of pages. | |||
| ::''] 09:31, 20 May 2005 (UTC)'' | |||
| : My impression of the result of the discussion from ] was that a top eight table was preferred. Because of this, I've been using that (not only on cycling, but other sports as well). However, I have no personal attachment to it and would not mind having a regular medals table instead. I would recommend avoiding any more subpages than are absolutely necessary (and I don't think a top eight table would be necessary). -- ] 19:48, 20 May 2005 (UTC) | |||

| == "Soviet Union" vs "USSR" in Olympic articles == | |||
| Hi. Well, "USSR" is more commonly used in Olympic articles, including all medal tables on the IOC website and here in Wiki. Another argument for the "USSR" is that the IOC country code (URS) is a 3-letters-shortcut for the French ''URSS'' which is ''USSR'' in English. I am going to make appropriate changes. | |||
| : I don't really have a personal preference. I chose "Soviet Union" because our article for the country is at ], but "USSR" is fine with me. I will use that from here on out. -- ] 04:25, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Another proposal: I think, that besides the flag, an image of the NOC symbol should be present (if it can be found). Like ] included it for ] and six or so other countries and like I included it for the ] ] 20:08, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

It was just a special:newpages click which I felt would benefit from my 2 seconds changing the generic stub message to something more useful (and while the stub message I picked might be deprecated, it did have the beneficial effect of having someone who knows a great deal more than myself about the subject notice the page and realize it was a misspelling).

| :My fault. I set England-geo-stub back the way it was to be usable again, but forgot to announce that it could be used.

| Whoops! Didn't realize that was your user page...glad you're ok with that. I believe the shade of red stayed the same in the flags, officially. In practice, depended on material used. The main differences in the 1924 ensign and the 1957 ensign were the maple leaves (1924 green, 1957 red), but also some other minor points - the woman on the Irish harp had her breasts obscured in the 1957 flag, the Scottish rampant lion had the border changed from one line to two. So they tell me, anyway. :-)] 17:19, 6 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| With further regard to the flags, I changed all instances I felt were necessary in the Olympic pages (and page that linked to the red-maple leaf flag got changed) - EXCEPT those in which a template was formed. The flags were so small that I didn't bother to change them - also the template was used also in instances where the flag with red maple leaves was correct, so at some point, someone will need to do a seperate template, one for the 1924 flag, one for the 1957 flag.

| No. Your close was so flagrantly out of process that I entirely justifiably re-deleted it. There was near-unanimous support for it being deleted (with only the author and one other person voting keep), most of those being entirely informed voters who agreed that it was indeed vanity. You then decided that you knew better than all of the Australians who voted (and thus decided that he "must" be notable when you had no idea) and attempted to override the very obvious consensus.
