Editing of this talk page by unregistered users is not allowed because choosing to edit without logging into an account creates a power imbalance in communication. All such edits will be reverted without comment. Unless you have a static IP, you are purposely preventing other editors from observing patterns in your editing behavior as well as purposely choosing not to have a permanent place where other editors may reliably communicate with you about those behaviors. If you are allowed to make this choice, then I choose to rectify this imbalance by ignoring you. If you truly wish to communicate as equals, please create an account and become an established editor. Thank you.

RevDel

AIV is not the place to request revdel - please do not do that again. --Rschen7754 06:00, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

So where is it? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 06:03, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Request it on the talk page of an admin, or use #wikipedia-en-revdel on IRC. If something needs revdel, do not draw a lot of attention to it, as that defeats the purpose of revdel. --Rschen7754 06:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Or WP:OVERSIGHT which suppresses it so even we can't see it - "used within strict limits to remove defamatory material, to protect privacy, and sometimes to remove serious copyright violations". Dougweller (talk) 18:50, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

sock puppetry.

Thanks for thinking I'm stupid. If I were to have a sock puppet (wait for it, I've got at least six!!!!11!!oneone!1!) I'd be a bit smarter about how I went about it.

I look forward to your apology when you realise that I'm not actually stupid. **** you, you ******* ****. (talk) 14:50, 4 May 2013 (UTC) It also occurs to me that you are asking Misplaced Pages to invade my privacy (that's what checkuser is, isn't it, seeing what IP addresses have been used). And if I do have sockpuppets (something that is legitimate, and that does not have to be justified) these are likely to come up, even if I wished to keep them separate. Thanks again (and just in case, that was a sarcastic thanks). **** you, you ******* ****. (talk) 14:55, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I've seen plenty of stupid sockers, so that wouldn't be unusual. Whether or not a case has merit is for admins to decide, and if they decide I erred then that's fine with me and should be fine with you. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 22:04, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Why Did You Revert The White South African Section?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

There was no original research but all facts from U.S census source. Gachingy (talk) 12:05, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

No. There was no link. It was stuff you made up. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 12:06, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Here is the link http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/meta/long_RHI525211.htm Gachingy (talk) 12:08, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Not a word about South Africa. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 12:09, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Noted African American means people of the countries of Africa and also the white definition is noted North Africa. Gachingy (talk) 12:13, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

You need to understand WP:OR. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 12:14, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Flag of Transkei

There's a question at Talk:Flag of Transkei. I'm telling you this because you were listed as editors are available to help at Talk:Transkei. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 01:09, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

You're invited: Spacefest Edit-a-thon Honoring Sally Ride - Tucson, AZ

Women in Astronomy and Space Sciences Edit-a-thon - Tucson, AZ - You are invited!

Sally Ride was the first American woman in space and a champion of girls and women everywhere. Ride would have turned 62 on May 26th had the world not lost her to pancreatic cancer last July. To honor her enduring legacy, Arizonans and all attendees of SpaceFest are invited to gather on her birthday to edit and create Misplaced Pages entries on notable women in astronomy and the space sciences.

Revert of my edit to Illegal immigration to the United States

Seb, you have recently reverted my edit that merely made wikilink text match the name of the article it pointed to, avoiding a redirect and a potentially controversial term ("illegal immigrant" vs. "undocumented immigrant", the latter being the title of the article). Can you please help me better understand the reason for this revert, and point me to the appropriate guideline(s)? Thank you, Dandv 22:43, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

The article was moved by the sock of an idef-blocked user; reverted, thus link was reverted as well. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 19:18, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

MOS:FLAGBIO

Hello. Could you elaborate on that: ? The edit summary "mosbio n/a" makes little sense. "Misplaced Pages is not a place for nationalistic pride. Flags are visually striking, and placing a national flag next to something can make its nationality or location seem to be of greater significance than other things." --Omnipaedista (talk) 10:52, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

None of the points you link to is applicable here, unless I missed one. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 10:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

The slightly more accurate citation is: MOS:ICON: Flags: Inappropriate use: "Do not emphasize nationality without good reason" (I cited the exact text in my previous comment). Per MOS I am going to undo your revert. --Omnipaedista (talk) 11:04, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

The good reason is that he was/is the leader of the nation. Do not revert. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 11:06, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Then why should the American flag be kept? In any case, flag icons are no longer accepted in biographical infoboxes in Misplaced Pages. Exceptions include only military persons (having allegiance to a nation state) and athletes (representing a nation state). If you will, I could open a thread at the MOS talk page. --Omnipaedista (talk) 11:17, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Please take a look at this thread here. --Omnipaedista (talk) 11:55, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

PROTEST

On this Misplaced Pages hard to offend some people and their national languages​​, ignoring the facts and international documents. The fact that the Serbian and Croatian two different standard languages, here it does not matter how big the difference is, it deals with linguistics.

Problem:

1. Ignoring the internationally recognized language:

Hoping to understand your map

Hi. You uploaded a file at Wikicommons called DineBikeyahBe'elyaigii.svg and entered a caption: "Diné Bikéyah be?elyaaígíí". I am not American so I cannot read this. Would you please add a description in English describing the map when you have a moment, and I would appreciate a brief explanation of the colour coding that you used as well (there are two shades of salmon at west and east). I would also appreciate an explanation of the enclave ("hole") in the centre of the Navajo territory if you know why it is there. I scanned the Navajo Nation article searching for an understanding of the shading and of the enclave, but I did not see any gloss on these features. Thank you. — O'Dea (talk) 14:53, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

2014 Kunming Attack

Hi there, I'm writing to you because of your past involvement with the Urumqi riots in 2009. There was a major knife attack in Kunming. Death toll somewhere between 29 and 34, about 140 injuries as of most recent reports. It's looking likely that the attack is associated with the Uyghur independence movement although the situation is obviously cloudy. Editors with experience working on Han / Uyghur conflict would be appreciated to make sure we stick to WP:RS and avoid WP:RECENTISM while this situation unfolds.
