Hi,

Probably you are new to Wikipedia, if yes be warmly welcomed. I am not a veteran neither. I have anserwed you on my talk page, s. below:


Hello,

I agree with your text above. I renamed the Coat of arms of Western Sahara to Coats of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Commons:Category:Coats of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic explains the bad spelling), but I read the archives of Talk:Flag of Western Sahara afterwards. What can we do to restore impartiality? Can this link help? (notice that there is no flag on the right of the country/location name in the dark blue zone). --Juiced lemon 19:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


Hello Juiced lemon,

  • Glad to know and thank you. The item is definitely presented in a biased way and must be redone. Wikipedia should not care about Polisario's and pro-Polisario activists opinions.
  • Sources like this that one help as they make it clear that WS is a territory and not a state.
  • This topic had apparently been taken to the Move requests page WP:RM. If you manage to go through the archive then that would be great. Any action in this sense is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards - wikima 20:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The so-called "Free Zone"

Hi Juiced lemon,

You have restored the article on the so-called "free zone". Please can you explain why and discuss? That would be great: [1]

[edit] Naming conventions

Hi - you asked about the titles of articles on places in Wales. The consensus is that they should be disambiguated by county, not by nation - i.e., "city, Gwynedd", not "city, Wales". You can find guidance at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (settlements). As you can see from the names of other places in Wales, this has been widely adopted, and no others are disambiguated by nation. Additionally, although not a motivation for my original move, "Bangor, Wales" could refer to Bangor-on-Dee. Warofdreams talk 22:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Western Sahara map request

Can you be more specific in what you are looking for in a Western Sahara map? There are already two maps based on the U.N. map in commons and I've noticed that insane edit wars erupt whenever someone tries to use one of them. Is there a consensus on what a NPOV map should look like? Kmusser 18:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I thank you for your answer to my request.
A NPOV map is a map which displays only factual features. I think there is a general consensus about that, and we don't need a particular consensus for a particular map.
These 2 maps display controled zones, though the 2 opposed sides have not concluded any treaty or agreement in order to delimit these zones. More, one of these maps don't specify any date or source. I think that these maps are unusuable in any NPOV article.
The MINURSO map displays interesting factual features like oueds, lakes, localities, roads, and the berm. But, I wish a general map for Western Sahara, and I don't want the extra informations regarding the MINURSO. So, I would be glad if you could make a new map of Western Sahara, based on the MINURSO map, since it is far most precise than the current maps of Western Sahara in Commons.
Main needed changes to the MINURSO map:
  • to remove the special MINURSO informations in the caption
  • to remove the UN warnings and references
  • to replace the map icons for localities where the MINURSO was deployed (blue names, do not confuse with geographic features)
  • to change the color of locality names from blue to black ("Staging Area" is not a locality and has to be removed)
  • optionally, you can also resize the height near 20° and 30° parallels. --Juiced lemon 12:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
That should be doable, should have something next week.Kmusser 17:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Are the names on the U.N. map what should be used? As in Laayoune vs. El Aaiun? Working on it - it is proving a little more dificult than anticipated, I don't want to copy the U.N. map directly because it is copyrighted, but other sources (using Rand McNally and Google Earth for reference) disagree on where basic geographic features are located and what they are named.

[edit] Requested moves

I re-opened the discussion on the move of Trentino-South Tyrol and South Tyrol. If you want to say your opinion, you're welcome. --Checco 07:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
