NIC and Turkey

Hello. While geopolitically Turkey is a transcontinental country (part of it in Asia, part of it in Europe), it is widely considered geopolitically speaking, a European country. Turkey's history has long been linked to that of Europe. Turkey is a European Union candidate member and it is currently being considered for access to the union. Note this table is about political-geopolitical regions as NIC is a sociopolitical category, not a geographical category. Thanks. AlexCovarrubias ^{( Talk? )} 01:10, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I am well aware of Turkey's status. See my response on the talk page. Thank you for taking the time to explain your edit. 08OceanBeach^S.D. 01:11, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

If you attempt to include only the European portions of Turkey and Russia in an article, it means that you aren't going with where they "politically" or "culturally" belong, and you are going with whether they are geographically in Europe or not. At that point, you should not include any country to the east of Turkey and Russia as that would be majorly contradicting.

You should either include entire Turkey if you want to include to the countries to the east of it, or take just European Turkey and leave the countries to the east out. Turkey is in between Europe and Cyprus, Turkey is in between Europe and Armenia. Once one of those countries is considered in Europe, Turkey automatically becomes entirely in Europe. Otherwise "politically" and "culturally" become word games, Turkey is politically entirely European and culturally as European as those countries if not more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.213.182.207 (talk) 06:48, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

common name

Do you have a reference suggesting that Great Blackout of 2011 is more common than 2011 Southwest blackout? The title should mention the time and place. serioushat 09:36, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I have moved the article back to 2011 Southwest blackout - which was the name agreed upon in the Move Request discussion on the talk page. If you want to argue for Great Blackout of 2011, let's do it on the talk page. --MelanieN (talk) 14:56, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Of course! I'm usually very good about this stuff, it just slipped my mind. 08OceanBeach^S.D. 15:47, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Please see my comment on the talk page. Bottom line: you did it again!!!! --MelanieN (talk) 05:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

3RR in Latin America regions.svg

Edit-warring and the 3RR rule also applies in Wikipedia Commons. You were blocked in the past for breaching this rule. You also were unblocked because you said you understood the spirit of the rule and that you "weren't gambling the system" by returning the very next day (after the 24 h period expired) to continue reverting.

This doesn't look like a person that understood not to edit-war [1]. Are you going to say that your blocks and "repented attitude" is not valid in Wikipedia Commons?

That map doesn't follow the source and doesn't represent the real regions of Latin America. We're not talking about continents, but regions. Central America and the Caribbean are regions on their own and Mexico is part of the region North America. AlexCovarrubias ^{( Talk? )} 23:35, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

I reverted to the original version because there was issues with the image as you pointed out. Thanks for the heads up though. Please continue with the discussion on the respective talk pages, it appears you have ceased to take part in them. 08OceanBeach^S.D. 23:39, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

And by the looks of it, I've only changed it twice after your reversions, the other edits were attempts at fixing my captions and did not constitute to reversions. So I believe I am keeping in line with the 3RR. Thanks again though! 08OceanBeach^S.D. 23:43, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Front Range Urban Corridor

The Front Range Urban Corridor is never referred to by residents as the Front Range Megalopolis. The reason it is called a corridor is because it lies in the narrow leeward strip along the eastern face of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The Front Range Urban Corridor is several times longer (North-South) than it is wide (East-West). Please check with Wikipedia:WikiProject Colorado if you have any questions. Yours aye,  Buaidh  20:00, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

PLEASE MOVE Front Range Megalopolis BACK TO Front Range Urban Corridor.

Thank you,
