Great power

You are aware that "right" is actually the default position for images, right? So removing them doesn't actually change anything. I was only reverting it back to the last stable version by User:Moagim, who had removed the clutter (sizes and superflous placement definitions, according to the WP:MOS), but which an IP had subsequently clumsily undone. Your edit summary thus doesn't make any sense and your version is against the WP:MOS. --Saddhiyama (talk) 17:57, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Adjust the images, if you want - but don't change their position, or the content. Regarding your Stettin edit, maybe you're interested in this → . --IIIraute (talk) 18:05, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

European cuisine

Great, so now you're taking the line of someone you were reverting on the Germans article? (Collabois) For the food, we are not going to list every country that eats a dish/lays a claim to it being a dish of their country, are we? Hey, I saw Turkish kebab, why don't we change that to Greek/Turkish kebab? Wow, I saw meatballs too, guess those Swedes are not the only ones who thought of making balls out of meat etc. Look, a quick shuffle around the web gives me (German roast-pork) recipes, but the photo descriptor describes it as being typical Austrian (and Bavarian) food, now Bavaria is not the whole of Germany is it, but the point is, if you think it's more a typical German dish then say so, add refs or discuss on talk, but please do not do this Austrian/German/Serbo-Croat/Norwegian dish thing, it's rubbish and confusing and also aesthetically unpleasing.CaptainScreebo 17:02, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

There are better choices for "Austrian" dishes (Marillenknödel, Sachertorte), as "Schweinsbraten" is typical Bavarian, i.e. German → by origin, recipe and tradition. --IIIraute (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Ok so you're the expert, I'm British (we eat shit), living in France (we eat dead things with dead-thing sauce) and almost a vegetarian (we eat love and MyLittlePoneys). I don't care, but Bavarian is Bavarian and not German (ie the whole of Germany), this appears to feature savoury dishes, I would like to avoid every picture having Smurf/Munchkin/Sinteklaas dish as its caption. CaptainScreebo 17:35, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't care. It is as much a German dish, as it is Austrian. Like I said, there are better examples, also savoury ones. Bavaria is the largest state of Germany. "Sauerbraten" also does not represent the whole of Germany - you might just choose the "Schweinebraten". So what's your point? The Wiener Schnitzel is the national dish of Austria. --IIIraute (talk) 17:42, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

The point is, the captions say "Swedish meatballs", although meatballs exist in many cuisines and so on, so one nationality is enough, ok so maybe it's Austrian OR German Schweinsbraten, let's just have Austrian or German and put a better example of typical Austrian cuisine. Look, to illustrate, pizza is Italian, it is served everywhere now, here in France you find Tex-Mex pizzzas, so what are we going to do? Put "Mexican/Texan/Italian pizza"? CaptainScreebo 17:50, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

The point is that "Schweinsbraten" also originates from Bavaria - it is an integral part of their custom. I have changed the dish to Wiener Schnitzel, which is the national dish of Austria, and also provides an article/link. I think it is the better choice.--IIIraute (talk) 17:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I'm not loooking for a fight, that was an intelligent edit, that's all I was looking for, otherwise we can get into ethnic squabbling like "yes, but his Serbian grandmother gave him the recipe, so it's a Serbian dish", pleased to have met you. Cheers! CaptainScreebo 18:00, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Ditto. My pleasure! --IIIraute (talk) 18:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Helmut Kohl

I am not going to violate 3RR but I intend to remove the blatantly subjective text you insist on inserting into the Kohl article. If it means I have to go to ANI to discuss your editwarring, so be it. The source you cite is woefully insufficient. Quis separabit? 02:37, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

You were the editor removing long-standing material. Go to ANI, fine with me. If you have a problem with this sentence, take it to the talk page first. It is not subjective, but a fact. The Heimatvertriebenen felt not only disappointed, but betrayed → . I mean, seriously? Do you think the Heimatvertriebene were happy about this solution - do you think that's why they organized themselves in the Federation of Expellees. Do you even have any knowlege about this subject? The source is perfectly fine - want another one? What is wrong with the source? So please stop your edit warring and POV pushing - thanks. --IIIraute (talk) 02:45, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Oscar Pistorius/Reeva Steenkamp

Oscar Pistorius must be treated as innocent until proven guilty. You cannot say that he did shoot Reeva Steenkamp until he is proven guilty in court. 212.139.223.89 (talk) 16:42, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Pistorius has stated in sworn testimony that he killed her - see his affidavit cited - the question of innocence relates to culpability not the fact that he killed her ⇒. --IIIraute (talk) 17:41, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Please withdraw of refactor your uncivil comment

At User_talk:Piotrus#Polish_casualties_2. I am not sure who is it addressing, but such uncivil comments are unwelcome on my pages, and the topic area in question is subject to WP:DIGWUREN sanctions for civility. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
