Thank you for the correction with regards to proper procedure, it is appreciated. It was more your insistence in persisting in your claims that I found somewhat provocing. I would have had a closer look at things after the person I was requesting sources from stated that he had made no such changes, not just charged along.Manxruler 01:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Its cool, just try and be a little bit less hasty, is all. Manxruler 01:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baldwin/Baudouin

You were not forced to do anything, especially move it to a just as incorrect form. You could have utilized WP:RM. I am dismayed that someone can be so rude as to expect (basically demand) me to move it to the original title when I am unable to (just as you are). As far as I am concerned, it is your problem and not mine for that reason alone. Charles 09:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

There is a difference between a title and a territorial designation. The King was titled King of the Belgians, yes, but he was also of Belgium. We wouldn't say the King of Belgium because that is not a proper title, but we could say Baudouin/Baldwin of Belgium without the title. Also, we don't have an article called Margrethe II, Denmark's Queen, which is her formal title. We don't use titles for kings and emperors unless there is nothing that the title is specifically "of", such as a German Emperor or a Holy Roman Emperor... Those are more like modifications to a title although there was actually a territory for each. Remember, I had to change just as many redirects, including some double redirects that were left behind when you moved it. There are no exceptions to the title rule whereas the given name is always a grey area for some monarchs. WP:RM can be used and the admin will do all of the work of changing the redirects. Charles 11:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

No, we do not use "of the Belgians" because we do not include the title of king. The form is "Name of Place". Charles 11:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, sadly, I find maintaining the naming conventions for sovereigns to be necessary. The anglicization is something that has to be brought up at Requested Moves. Charles 11:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

No need to thank me. Sorry for losing my cool yesterday. I had an awful day and should have checked my attitude at the door. Charles 23:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm an admin, so I could delete the redirect page. john k 15:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shahbag, request for help

Hi. I was going through your discussions on Talk:Bangladesh Liberation War. I want to request you to take a look at the Shahbag, an article I was working on, It's coming out nice, but still has a long way to go. Would you care to take a look at it, please? Aditya Kabir 22:49, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

It's not on war or anything. But, your fastidiousness with citation and all that stuff may come to good use. Awaiting your advises. You can post either to the article talk page or my talk page. Cheers. Aditya Kabir 22:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bao Dai Time.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bao Dai Time.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Mme Nhu Time.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mme Nhu Time.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Watergate_burglaries overhaul

I ready your comment about the Watergate Burglaries articles needing a complete overhaul. I agree. Are you interested and have any time to work on this with me? Feel free to email me Ukulele 20:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jung Chang

If you have any more edits you want to make I would appreciate if you could join the discussion on the talk page first. There's little point in reaching consensus with one person if someone else wants to change the article at will. John Smith's (talk) 18:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't object to the edit per ce, but the thing is I need to re-word the whole thing as it wasn't well-phrased to begin with. I could end up using what you added, but at this point I don't know what it will look like.

Sorry if my first message suggested I was objecting outright, I'd just like to ensure the discussion running on the talk page actually leads to a stable version. I know you're an experienced and reasonable editor so I wanted to make sure you weren't planning on making lots of edits while the rest of us were talking things over. John Smith's (talk) 18:59, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. It's not bad, but let's see where the talk page discussion goes first. John Smith's (talk) 19:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and I've done my best to answer your question on historians and praise for the book. John Smith's (talk) 19:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] European fraternities

Cripipper, reagarding your edit here, what about the article List of fraternities and sororities in Europe, that lists them in 12 countries? —Scouter Sig 15:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Nguyen Khanh.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nguyen Khanh.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
