Falkland Islands
Hello... thanks for your contribution at Falkland Islands. Unfortunately, it has been removed as the translation isn't needed in the lead. (The Spanish translation is present because of the Argentinian claim to the islands, as opposed to listing all variations.) Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about this, and thanks again! --Ckatzchatspy 00:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Cuba
You're welcome. But Castro's statement says Cuba recognizes "the legitimacy of South Ossetian autonomy". This is not the same as the recognition of independence.--KoberTalk 11:19, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks to you too. My point is that we cannot interpret Castro's statement this way. That would be WP:OR. It is not always easy to trace consistency in the state's policy and its statements. For example, Russia had hitherto regarded South Ossetia as part of Georgia; yet it accused Georgia of being "an aggressor" (against its own territory). If there's an official statement or a direct indication that Cuba recognizes South Ossetia as an independent state, it will immediately find its place in the article. Best wishes, --KoberTalk 11:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but you don't want to listen, methinks. Please discuss your changes on Talk:International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia so as other editors can also participate in the disucssion.--KoberTalk 11:40, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Regarding your message to me
I have no idea, as i've not edited your talk page until now. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 17:48, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Could you stop by the talk page of the Opera Project and clarify what you're doing and why. I'm afraid some of these categories are being mis-applied, in fact quite a lot of them are. You are also confusing genre (e.g. mythology) with setting which refers to a physical place. Several operas are based on mythology but nevertheless have a physical setting. There are also problems in that may of these operas have settings in two distant places depending on the act, e.g. I Lombardi (mostly set in Jerusalem not Italy) and Ernani (mostly set in Spain, not France), and the categories you're applying can be misleading. Also, please leave edit summaries when you apply these categories stating which category you have added.Voceditenore (talk) 16:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
For every category you create, you should specify parent categories to which it belongs. You can do this by listing the parents near the bottom of the page, each enclosed in double brackets like so:
[[Category:Operas by setting]] [[Category:Hypothetical second category]]
I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 17:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
I just noticed you uploaded the image LaTraviata.jpg; however, it seems to lack information about its author (see the image page). The template suggests you should be notified, which so far nobody seems to have done. I'm not sure whether I should do it, but I don't like to see a perfectly good image delete due to an oversight. Here is the notification that should supposedly be delivered to you:
File:LaTraviata.jpg missing description details

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Category:Operas set in Spain. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Jojhutton (talk) 15:57, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
The recent edit you made to La forza del destino has been reverted, as it appears to intentionally introduce incorrect information. Please do not continue to do this; such edits are considered vandalism. Thank you. Thrane (talk) 15:57, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

You inserted a quote that is difficult to understand. It contains (twice) the word 'they': who are they? Could you supply the substantive in square brackets, please? Second, you lead in with a comment about the separation of races. How does the quote bear on that issue? Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:13, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it works quite well now. I forgot to ask whether the emphasis was present in the original. Macdonald-ross (talk) 15:58, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

ECRG map
Hi! Thanks for your encouraging words. Good to see Lithuanian MEP in the ECRG club. I will update the SVG map. But for your info, it's not really difficult - I use a program called Inkscape to edit SVG. Sorry for writing English here. I understand the comments in Russian but have neither Russian keyboard installed nor recent experience with Russian writing. ;-) --Lumidek (talk) 17:29, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of List of Current Premier League Managers
I have nominated List of Current Premier League Managers, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Current Premier League Managers. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Kevin McE (talk) 16:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello. Can you tell me why how you know that this is a Creative Commons licensed file? The file on the Hungarian Wikipedia doesn't seem to be. Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:00, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, you've made some pretty big changes to the above article and I'm unable to see any rationale and you've forgotten to provide an edit summary. Please advise. raseaCtalk to me 15:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I think that the level of changes you have made need to be discussed on the talk page. I will admit there was some trivial nonsense but hacking away huge swathes of the article is not an appropriate response. With an article spanning such a wide geographical area additional editor input is important because what is trivial in one country is not in another (30cm of snow in Sweden, for instance, is not notable but in the UK it is enough to ground the country to a halt). To address the haphazardness and length of the article a re-write would be more appropriate. I would suggest re-instating (most) of the content and opening a discussion. raseaCtalk to me 15:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- I've seen worse. And they've all been current events, it's pretty normal for breaking news articles to be shit for a few weeks but everything falls into place in the end. raseaCtalk to me 16:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Your removal of information quoted "The Met Office issued an extreme weather event warning for the central parts of southern England for 6–7 January, as a polar low develops in the English Channel, with snow falling in London and the south-east of England." seems rather extreme. The main problem with the article is too many newsy facts and not enough meterological stuff. The article now doesn't mention anything about the "polar low" on 6-7 January. I will reinstate my fact, unless you have any sufficient objection. Jolly Ω Janner 20:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Scottish Amaranthine Order
I would imagine it is analogous to the Order of the Amaranth in the US? MSJapan (talk) 22:01, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Alliance for Democracy
I've reverted your latest additions as the wording was lifted directly from their website. Please use the material without using the same wording. See WP:PLAGIARISM. Fences&Windows 18:33, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- Is there an OTRS ticket for permission to use that material? Your assertion is not good enough. Also, do we really want to use the direct wording? The page is looking like an advert more than an encyclopedia entry. Do you have an association with the Alliance for Democracy or one of their component parties?
