Anglo Dane

That image was uploaded by LGH (talk · contribs) not by me. I just reformatted it. It was deleted because the user put no copyright status tag on it. Sorry, I know nothing of it! --SFoskett 13:24, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I copied the caption that had been uploaded with the image onto the Anglo Dane page. The person that uploaded the image was the one that wrote it. I have added a few more bits to the article but my reference books have no more to add. Malcolma 16:51, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thanks for your edits to Onsen. If you're interested about the controversy, you should also check out Sento#Tension_between_social_groups. I added this link to your text in Onsen. Best wishes and happy editing -- Chris 73 | Talk 03:13, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

EU in List of countries and territories by area

I think it should be included but not ranked, as it is included in List of territories by population. You moved the page to List of countries and territories by area, and anyway EU is at least a territory and might even be considered a kind of state as it is a supranational entity in wich the adhering states are democratically involved. I think the issue should be discussed before anyone consider again it's exclusion from the list. I havn't added it yet because i can't find an official measure of the area of the EU 25. But I'm looking for it and I'll find it. --giandrea 02:27, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer, anyway, next time use my talk page, not my main page; that's where the messages are supposed to be, there is a little + on the top of the page to add a comment. This time I moved your comment manually. Anyway back on topic. Misplaced Pages works by consensus, you should have consensus before you make drastical changes on a page, or when you see there is a revert war. To gain consensus you have to discuss the topic on the talk page of the article with other users and see if you can reach an agreement. For example, on the page List of territories by population we reached a consensus in changing the name of the page from List of countries by population to List of territories by population, and then we added the European Union, not ranked because the singular states of the union are ranked. There is a consensus on Misplaced Pages that the EU is not a country, but it is a supranational entity, with a democratically elected parliament and a law system, and so it should be included for the sake of information in this kind of articles. --giandrea 12:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

ehm... the fact that no one answered my question doesn't mean that they don't agree, as it doesn't mean that they agree, it doesn't mean anything at all... so, you say that several people before you edited out the EU from the list, but that means that several people re-entered it in the list before... it seems to me like a revert war, and the last revert end re-revert from some minutes ago seems to add to my ipothesis. I will see what we can do. --giandrea 13:12, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Please, consider reading the Consensus article on Misplaced Pages. Also consider the fact that I have added the Eu to the list once, then someone else removed it and I never added it again. Now I'm trying to set a Consensus because there is a revert war on the article. --giandrea 13:22, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't see your point and obviously you don't see mine, so we should set a consensus, an agreement, involving other people as well, for now I won't edit the post anymore, as I already told you, but I still think that the EU should be included. Also I never wanted to represent all the European citizens, I just wanted to state that the concept of European citizenship is written in a signed agreement by all the EU countries (Maastricht), and that the inclusion of the EU in that list would not hurt anyone and would be apreciated by many for it's statistical value. The same is valid here. --giandrea 13:38, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Mediation

Hi, I'm your friendly cabal mediator! :) User:Giandrea has applied for mediation with the mediation cabal over the dispute you are having at List of countries by area. If you could express your point of view on the mediation page I would be much obliged. Many thanks, and lets hope we can get some consensus going :) - FrancisTyers 10:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Silverwolf Comics notability

Hi, you need to provide proof of notability for the article to stay. If you believe it is notable then add {{hangon}} tag to it and explain how it is notable and give evidence on the articles talk page.--Andeh 10:01, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
