[edit] Districts of Laos

Thanks for adding the subdivision of the Laotian provinces, it was something I planned to do for quite some time already but always too busy with other tasks. Do you have any direct sources for these, or is it basically the information from statoids.org? I ask because for Xaisomboun there was apparently a change, two districts might have been reassigned to Vientiane province. But it is very hard to find good English sources on Laotian topics. See also Talk:Xaisomboun. andy 20:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Of course, your help is definitely welcome and appreciated. I just hoped you'd have more information, Laos is still a widely covered topic here, due to lack of interest of editors here, lack of Laotians with Internet access and English knowledge, but also due to lack of English information sources about it. Anyway, keep on editing... andy 22:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Award for your hard work

The Geography Barnstar
I am awarding you this barnstar for your contributions related provinces and regions around the world. We really appreciate them. Szvest 12:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Perm Krai

Hi, John! I am sorry, but I had to revert your change to administrative divisions of Perm Krai again. The krai is not divided into "former Perm Oblast" and "former KPAO" as your edit leads to believe; rather, it is a single entity which includes Komi-Permyak Okrug (which itself is a transitionary unit). However, I can see that the current layout could use some improvement. If you want to help, modelling the list after administrative divisions of Adygea would be a lot more useful (and consistent). Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your interest.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Dude, I appreciate that and I respect it. But for those who understand Russian subdivision classifications, is the "rural settlement" or "rural locality" the same level as the "selsovet" or is it below the selsovet? I just want to be sure of it, just in case. Reply if necessarily possible. Johnluisocasio 13:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WWC Television Championship

Please use the move function, instead of copy-and-paste, when renaming a page. This avoids splitting the page history in several places. Thank you. --Geniac 20:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bird lists

I have been reverting some of your good faith conversions of lists back from alphabetical to taxonomic order, and also some double linking (from common and scientific name. It's possible that I've also unintentionally reverted other edits that you have made, if that's so my apologies, but it's difficult to restore without using rollback at some stage. jimfbleak 19:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ust-Orda Buryatia

Hi, John! I have reverted your edits which re-added Ust-Orda Buryatia. Please note that as of January 1, 2008 is no longer a federal subject, but merely an administrative division of Irkutsk Oblast. Please see Ust-Orda Buryat Okrug for further information. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quote markss

John, please stop adding the quote marks to articles on administrative divisions of federal subjects of Russia. I had to revert your yesterday's additions because these quote marks make no sense where you are adding them to—they are ungrammatical, look ugly, and make readers wonder just why they are there in the first place. If you wish to emphasize the section titles, please consider other methods. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 21:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of mergers in Miyagi Prefecture

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of mergers in Miyagi Prefecture, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Stifle (talk) 20:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

All I wanted to do is make a page of articles of mergers of each prefecture that are needed to be yet complete. That's all. And I accidentally put Iwate Prefecture on the article List of mergers in Miyagi Prefecture. Now I fixed that part. Let me know if there are corrections for me to put or revert back to. jlog3000 (talk) 20:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
You've removed the proposed deletion template, as you're entitled to do. There's nothing else for you to do for now. Stifle (talk) 11:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
As of now, is it allowed then and what do you mean by "you're entitled to do"? jlog3000 (talk) 13:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Japan mergers

Thanks for splitting out the merger histories from all the prefecture articles. I created Category:Lists of mergers in Japan in order to keep them all together. I also made a page for Tokyo, and am getting ready to do the same for Hokkaidō's subprefectures. At this point, List of mergers and dissolutions of municipalities in Japan is almost redundant to the category, except for the external links that point to more info in each section. Those should probably be verified, and moved to the new pages as references. I'll start on that, if you don't beat me to it. Thanks again. Neier (talk) 10:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your respect and gratitude for this accomplishment. jlog3000 (talk) 14:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Great job dude. Sorry I can't be on much. --Hirohisat(Talk) 05:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
