Hi! Can you please delete the page named chavo shrestha... i had created that page as a prank and want to take it off now... sorry for the inconvenience

Hi! I just saw your update to New Rome, Ohio—do you have a link for the story about the judge's order to dissolve it? I'm eager to read more on it...it's especially hard to keep up with the news on it since the Dispatch's stupid website is pay only. I grew up in Columbus, and remember quite clearly when one of the very first things that I was told by my driver's ed instructor many years ago was "watch out for New Rome." It's a fascinating, weird subject. Thanks! Postdlf 22:53, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] DCA and PC

They're wrong. (As in many things, trusting the Government is a rather bad idea.) Much more authoritative sources, like Debrett's Correct Form, show the correct way. (As an online example, this page from the College of Arms website shows "PC" after "CVO", and I'd certainly expect the College of Arms to know what they're talking about.) Proteus (Talk) 16:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Honours precede all other post noms PC is an appointment it is not an honour so it goes with QC etc. The DCA site is wrong sadly and various HMSOs publications agree with Proteus as do Burkes and DebrettsAlci12 15:44, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prince Charles and the Saskatchewan Order of Merit

Hi there,

I notice that a few days ago you added the Saskatchewan Order of Merit to List of titles and honours of Charles, Prince of Wales. I've checked the offical lists [1] in which Charles is not listed. Due to this I have removed the listing. Do you have a link that states that Charles recieved it ? As far as I knew none of the royal family have ever held the provincial orders which I belive are not headed by the queen by rather by the Lt Governor. Thanks Dowew 14:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I have learned not to trust wikipedia artles for citable info. They are a great starting point, but you should double check before repeating info somewhere else, otherwise incorrect rumor can just snowball. Its pretty simple, just a quick googlesearch for Saskatchewan Order of Merit will turn up the official page. I've always thought it kinda strange that the Queen has never been given any of the provincial orders, particularly when she was in attendance for the first investiture of the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Hi, Ibagli! I've just started a poll about Category:British royal titles templates, and would really value your input - please do have your say! Cheers, – D B D does... 13:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PC

"Unfortunately, the current MoS prevents "The Right Honourable" and other similar prefixes from being used at the beginning of an article. I've given my views on that matter several times, but to no avail." In that case surely an exception needs to be made in respect of an overseas, non-ennobled, member of the Imperial Privy Council to indicate his or her appointment to it. However, members of the Canadian Privy Council are not "Right Honourable" by virtue of their being Privy Counsellors. When Canadian appointments to the Imperial Privy Council were abolished by the Pearson Government in the 1960s (Prime ministers and Chief Justices of Canada had previously been appointed; it had become anomalous in the case of chief justices when appeals to the JCPC were finally re-abolished in criminal cases and abolished anew across the board in all other cases in 1949 so that chief justices no longer travelled to Westminster to sit on the Judicial Committee) the honorific "Right Honourable" was reinstated as a Canadian honour for prime ministers, chief justices, and certain other eminent persons who are granted it from time to time. Otherwise Canadian Privy Counsellors are merely Honourable. Masalai 03:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Katharine of Aragon

Hello there. Just wondering if you could give some advice on a debate on the Catherine of Aragon page regarding the spelling of her name. There is some heated discussion on the discussion page, could you drop by and add your thoughts?? CheersPaul75 01:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of PC

Heho, there was a discussion about this on Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Honorific_Prefixes. Obviously it is used at non-peers anyway sometimes, we also therefore use the PC normally in articles here. Greetings ~~ Phoe _talk 21:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC) ~~

[edit] Re: Lise Thibault still LG

I reverted your edits because you've removed the DEFAULTSORT template and made a category a red link. Please correct these before applying your own agenda to the article. Thanks, Craigy (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if the word "agenda" sounded a bit arsey. I guess I was trying to say that whatever if was you were adding to the article didn't particularly concern me (only the removals), but tried to put it in the nicest way I could think of :-). Regards, Craigy (talk) 20:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Degrees of South Vietnam Gallantry Cross

It is my understanding that the degrees of the Gallantry Cross (individual awards) are derived from the level at which a person was cited, e.g. Palm device indicates citation by commander of armed forces ("cited at armed forces level"), Gold Star devide indicates citation by commander of Corps ("cited at corps level") and so on. The higher the level one is cited, the more prestigious the award. However, I did not think the Gallantry Cross as created by Decree No 74-b, 15 August 1950, allowed unit awards. This was created by decree No58/QP/ND of 20 January 1968, and repeats the scheme of degrees but on a collective basis.

My source is a 1969 publication called "Huy Chuong an thuong tron Quan-luc Viet-nam cong-hoa" (literally "Decorations and Medals of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam"), issued by the "Bo Tong Tham-Muu QLVNCH" (Strategic Technical Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam). The National Library of Australia holds a copy (call number VIET 1359, record ID 2828177). If you agree with this interpretation I think this page needs a little correction, and I'd be happy to draft same.

[edit] Full names

Hi! I see you have put in some time to post full names of those receiving honours recently. Are you open to taking these down again if those being cited feel a little uncomfortable? I know plenty of folk who would rather their full names weren't paraded! I just want to try to promote consensual biographical entries to (1) encourage more to appear in Wikipedia and (2) assist those for whom a degree of responsible anonymity is important.

[edit] Re: British Monarchy

I was just wondering...why did you state that Britain is not the same as the United Kingdom? Nat Tang ^{ta | co | em} 17:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

"United Kingdom" is much, much less ambiguous than "Britain." Some will take "Britain" to refer to only the island of Great Britain, without including Northern Ireland. There had been comments on the talk page to the effect that the use of the word "Britain" could introduce confusion, while others held that "Britain" and the "United Kingdom" were synonymous. Those that believe in their synonymity could surely not be upset by the changing of a word to one they believe is equivalent, and those who contend that they are not would surely not be upset by the changing of the word to one that is less ambiguous, so I changed it.--Ibagli (Talk) 17:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Newark Township, Licking County, Ohio

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by adding the bit about the Newark city enclaves; could you explain on my talk page? Thanks! Nyttend 04:59, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Ibagli- I see you've been involved in the editing of Canadian monarchy and on its talk page.

[edit] TharkunColl

Ibagli - first off, thanks for your input at Talk:Canadian monarchy. I've been trying to deal with Thark for some time now, and, as you know, recently filed the Wikiquette alert you commented at.

As he seems to have a general issue with suspecting a number of us, myself primarily, of manipulating cited material in order to put forward an anti-UK point of view, and he has taken his battle against this perceived conspiracy across a number of articles - after being soundly defeated at the last - I requested that he present his arguments in support of these serious accusations before ArbCom so that they may rule on the matter. He, of course, shows no sign of being willing to do so and seems to be promising to continue to cause disruption.

Because of this, I'm starting to prepare an RfC/User at my sandbox. If you'd like to contribute and or make suggestions, please do so. But, more importantly, as WP:RFC/User requires at least two people to have contacted the user in question, either on their talk page or an associated article talk page, and tried to resolve the problem, I wondered if you'd be willing to be that other person, should Thark continue to cause disruption. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he won't, but I've done that too many times in the past to have much faith in it this time.

Thanks. --G2bambino (talk) 02:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Tharky seems to have departed. He may have waved goodbye to Wikipedia, with his finger (we can only guess, which one). GoodDay (talk) 17:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion of SVG vs. PNG map

On Talk:Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries#SVG Map vs PNG Map there is a discussion about whether to use the SVG or PNG version of the 2008 Democratic Primary Results map.
