[edit] Anastasio Somoza Debayle

His article says that when running for president in 1974 he outlawed nine opposition parties. Is this inaccurate? Gazpacho 19:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but he never made Nicaragua a one-party state. There was the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. Granted, the difference between the two was dubious, but still.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Cold War Map 1959.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Cold War Map 1959.PNG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-communist parties

Hi. I notice you created the new category (although it is a bit vague and problematic, it may work). I have National Fascist Party and the category for fascist parties on my watchlist, and I wanted to let ypu note that I reverted your edit on the former: the former is included in the latter, and the latter is included in the new category, so individual inclusion of parties is redundant. Thank you. Dahn 00:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Hi MinnesotanConfederacy. I'd like to request that you start using edit summaries in your edits, as they are helpful for others to determine what the content of your edit is. As you can see from your contributions, you very rarely use them. Thanks. Picaroon9288 00:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bogus Categories

Please don't add unnecessary categories like Category:Jamaican anti-communists and Category:Kenyan anti-communists. They are completely unnecessary, not useful and just add clutter. Hu 23:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blanking

Please stop. If you continue to blank pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - Ozzykhan 21:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

"Blanking?" Josh

[edit] Your request for Greater Somalia edit on Wikipedia talk:Blank maps

I'm curious what the map is needed for, I can't think of a reason that a world map needs Greater Somalia boundaries, but a regional map might be much more appropriate. --Canuckguy 15:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

For a roleplay game my friends and I are going to play. Josh 20:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 02:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

This is an informative map of the US allies versus USSR allies. By no means should this be deleted!

[edit] Category:Anti communist parties

Hi! I have added some comments about my doubts of the use of the Category talk:Anti-communist political parties‎ to the Category talk:Anti-communist political parties‎. I hope you will respond so we can debate the issue and come to some conclusion. C mon 09:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP Indonesia Project

Are you aware of this? Are you aware of the protocols of the formal procedures for creating categories in wikipedia? SatuSuro 04:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

No, I am not. However, if I created inappropriate categories, please feel free to delete them. Josh 04:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Before going into an indonesian category - it would be first
  • (1) a good idea to see the official process for reviewing category proposals
  • (2) when in a subject area - see if there is a project where you can propose an idea to the members of that project
  • That way you are less likely to create a reaction that reflects badly on your activities - its one thing to have a bright idea- another if it actually fits into what is already happening! - SatuSuro 04:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I see. Thanks a lot. :) Josh 04:29, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Its just that some eds and admins when they see you have already had problems with creating cats - it looks like you havent gone to WP:Category to come to terms with the issues - if you read that, you might be less likely to create them on whim - and a s a consequence will become a more valued member of the wikipedia community with a bit more wisdom of one of the components on what makes it all tick!
