Username
- Your user name may be in violation of Misplaced Pages's Username Policy:
- Names with non-Latin characters: Unfortunately, most of your fellow editors will be unable to read a name written in Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or other scripts. Many of them will also be additionally burdened, as such names may be displayed for them only as question marks ("??? ??"), squares ("□□□ □□"), replacement characters ("??? ??") or worse, nonsense or mojibake ("Ã!%ôs*"). If your name is usually written in a non-Latin script, please consider transliterating it to avoid confusion, and allow easier access to your talk page by typing your name in the search field or URL bar.
- Please consider Changing your Username or it may be reported. ~ PHDrillSergeant...§ 17:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it may be rude or inflammatory, unnecessarily long/confusing, too similar to an existing user, contains the name of an organization, website or non-Latin characters, or is otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and username policies for more information). You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Misplaced Pages under a more appropriate username, and in a constructive manner. Misplaced Pages:Username provides guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Misplaced Pages without creating an account. You are not allowed to edit Misplaced Pages under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may edit your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you.
Due to Misplaced Pages's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible — if this doesn't happen within an hour or so, please email an administrator and explain the situation (see the list of administrators).
If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new username, please follow these directions: (1) Add {{unblock-un|new username}} to your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page. (2) Soon, an admin may come to unblock you. (3) You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request on Misplaced Pages:Changing username before you may be re-blocked. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. For more information, please visit Misplaced Pages:Changing username. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to create a new account.
- I've unblocked you to allow you to change username. The procedure is above (you have more than enough edits to qualify). Please request the change before you make any other edits, just on the basis that any other edits you make may lead to someone else blocking you for your username... it's very circular! Good luck! ➨ ЯEDVERS 20:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
As requested, I have renamed you as User:Kékrōps. You may now like to move your userpages to the new name. Warofdreams talk 02:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Your recent edits to country articles
May you please explain your reasoning in replacing up-to-date data with out-dated data for all these countries, as well as removing verifiability references from these articles? I see no sense in it and would like to see your reasoning before committing to reverting all these edits. └ / talk 13:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please check your facts before levelling such accusations in future. I have replaced the old HDI figures with the most up-to-date data, contained in the Human Development Report released only two days ago by the UNDP. See for yourself here if any of the data I have entered is incorrect. Finally, please note that the report, while released on 9 November 2006, was compiled on the basis of 2004 data.--Kékrōps 13:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Easy tiger! All I did was ask for clarifications - had I assumed bad faith I would not have bothered to ask why you did it! I saw a 2005 figure change into a 2004 figure and only raised a concern. You did not provide a reference link for verification so you cannot blame me for my concerns. Btw, please provide me with a reference link so I can include it in the Malta article. Thanks. └ / talk 14:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Claiming that I replaced "up-to-date data with out-dated data" is a rather serious accusation on Misplaced Pages. The "2005" figure was in fact the 2003 figure contained in last year's report; it is an easy mistake to make, but you'll find that almost every other country had 2003 as the date of the old data. I simply corrected that error while updating to the newly-released figures for 2004. In any case, including a reference link to the very large UNDP file in every country infobox is entirely unnecessary as the reader can simply obtain the material from the external links section of the relevant article, namely Human Development Index, which the infobox does link to. No other country infobox contains a separate external link to the UNDP site, and I see no reason why Malta should be an exception.--Kékrōps 17:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please accept my apologies for the aggressive wording, which was a mistake on my part. As I said, I was decieved by the erraneous figure on tha Malta page, and it was not my intention to assume bad faith. While I partly agree with your argument for not including a reference to the articles, I think that in the spirit of WP:VERIFY an extra reference does no harm. Malta was refused FA status because of its lack of verifiability, and while one missing reference does no difference in this aspect, I still think that it is a plus to verifiability and shall add a link to the HDI article in the references section. Again, my apologies. └ / talk 22:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- In that case, for the sake of consistency, could you go through and add the same link to every country infobox, not just Malta's?--Kékrōps 01:53, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Snake huh?
Poisonous too? What's with the name? And why did you choose to highlight that Ψ in your sig, while Poseidon's trident lost to Athena's lance? The latter would certainly be more compatible with your awkward shape, you "face with a tail"... NikoSilver 22:49, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- But a big Ψ is always better than a small one, don't you find? ;)·ΚέκρωΨ· 01:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Same would apply to a big K, I presume. Micro-K/Ψ guys would argue that it's not the size of the waves, but the motion of the ocean..." I say size does matter! NikoSilver 12:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- You're incorrigible. What's your animal, by the way? ·ΚέκρωΨ· 12:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm, that would be pig, but don't advertise that please. :-) On the western astrology, my zodiac is Leo; same is my horoscope?/(Ωροσκόπος I mean), I've been told. Those planets conspired for my birth! In any case, I believe in actions rather than profecies, and I find that these practices aim to comfort (and exploit) the weak. I prefer reading the cartoon sections... PS. Model '78, aren't we? I am '71. NikoSilver 13:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Nice, that makes us mortal enemies according to the Chinese. I won't tell you my age because I don't want people here telling me I should act it, like they do in real life. Ωροσκόπος is ascendant or rising sign in English - confusing, I know. Don't misinterpret the nature of astrology; all it does is tell you what you're predisposed to - it says nothing about what you will choose to do with that information in the real world. It is a free will universe after all and you're quite right in saying that actions will always matter over anything else. ·ΚέκρωΨ· 13:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- I see you corrected it by removing that hyphen. Maybe you should better add a "y" in the end, for obvious connotations. My opinion on astrology starts with a "Π" and is synonymous to their plural. NikoSilver 22:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Blue ones, you mean? Or are you confusing them with brushes? ·ΚέκρωΨ· 01:57, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
