[edit] Stub placement

Hello. If you don't mind the suggestion, please read Wikipedia:Stub, since you appear to not have completely grasped the stub concept yet. That's completely acceptable, but please read the first half of that article. Cheers. --Sn0wflake 23:40, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Apartheid wall

I agree, good catch! Jayjg (talk) 20:30, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Handling Copyright Violations

When you noticed a page that is a copyright violation (like Brianellner), please use the correct procedure instead of just blanking the page. Thanks! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish July 5, 2005 02:49 (UTC)

I completed understand that the page was going to be deleted, either as copyvio or as a vfd since it was a duplicate of the correct page, but blanking a page tends to look like vandalism -- that's why we have the templates like {{copyvio}}. Just makes things a little easier on people watching for vandals and trolls. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish July 5, 2005 23:09 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for correcting me ! --Revas 6 July 2005 00:35 (UTC)

[edit] new hampshire

That may be true that nh is more libertarian, although I believe it is a bit of a facile explanation, and you would need to include a more nuanced and diverse explanation of why new hampshire went dem. Why did they vote for Mccain in 2000? Why did Buchanan win in 1992? Often they also seem rather protectionist. I think many people attribute it to Kerry being from New England (although he is not necessarily very popular and nh receives anti-Kerry Boston talk radio). I think the best explanation is probably that new hampshire is more isolationist than the average state, and generally opposed the iraq war. However, 'this can be explained by' is too definitive language Tfine80 5 July 2005 15:19 (UTC)

You're right. I'll keep your edits. But as I read your text, I see an other explanation for Bush's defeat in NH : If McCain won in 2000, Buchanan in 1992 (I presume you speak about the Republican primaries), isn't it because the state Repulican voters have something against the Bush family ? Of course, it is not encyclopedial, but maybe we could write something like : Never a Bush family member did well in this state --Revas 5 July 2005 15:25 (UTC)
That's a good point. Although Bush did beat Gore there, of course. I think people of New Hampshire generally dislike elitists of all stripes. I even think that there was more natural distrust for Kerry, but I think the war was rather unpopular there, and the mere fact of the Democratic primary gave the Democrat talking points a lot of play. Btw, I was actually in nh for the 2004 primary, just for kicks. (I rode up on a bus from my former college in Boston) Tfine80 8 July 2005 02:16 (UTC)
just for kicks=? I'm sorry, I'm not a native english-speaker ;-)--Revas 8 July 2005 02:20 (UTC)

[edit] Source?

Where is your source for the 40 deaths please. — Trilobite (Talk) 7 July 2005 23:21 (UTC)

It was in the article, but somebody erased [1] it.--Revas 7 July 2005 23:26 (UTC)
Yes, because it was an unsourced statement. It's no good using the article as a source for itself. The news sources appear to be saying 38 at the moment so until that changes let's not jump the gun. — Trilobite (Talk) 7 July 2005 23:36 (UTC)
You're right, I did a research on google and did not find the source (Emergency Services press conference). --Revas 7 July 2005 23:42 (UTC)

[edit] You win.

Alright. For unilaterally removing my dispute tags without discussion and thus contributing to a stifling of discussion instead of consensus decision, you have pissed me off royally, you motherfucker. And now I'm leaving. Fuck you and fuck your precious Wikipedia, asshole. Where consensus consists of shouting down your opponents. — Phil Welch 8 July 2005 02:22 (UTC)

I apologize, I should have not lashed out at you, although it was highly inappropriate of you to remove the dispute tag without discussion. — Phil Welch 8 July 2005 02:37 (UTC)

[edit] Apology re: our dispute earlier

I didn't react well and I'm sorry. I hope you accept my apology, since I'm coming back. I really, really got too worked up. I still don't think I was treated fairly but I'm going to assume good faith and move on. — Phil Welch 8 July 2005 04:44 (UTC)

Well, that's past, I think we can move on and work with other wikipedians on other articles. Don't take talk page discutions to much personaly ;-) --Revas 8 July 2005 11:44 (UTC)

[edit] Algerian National Assembly elections, 1991

FIS' manifesto contained no promise to "abolish democracy"; rather, concerns were expressed that this might be part of their plan, because one of their two main leaders opposed democracy while the other expressed support for it. Read Islamic Salvation Front and Algerian Civil War for fuller background. (Or, if I'm wrong, provide a source for your claim.) - Mustafaa 8 July 2005 18:27 (UTC)

I changed my version, do you agree with it ?--Revas 8 July 2005 18:31 (UTC)

[edit] Little Germany, New York

Hi, and than you very muchfor translating the article! I wrote that quite some time ago based on lots of online info and a newspaper article. Not sure where i got the 500,000 from, and your comment sounds very valid. Please feel free to change the numbers. Happy editing! -- Chris 73 Talk 12:33, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I've tried to put useful links into it as well. By the way, you might be interested in this VfD: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Religious persecution by Jews. Jayjg (talk) 17:38, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I voted for deletion few days ago.Revas 02:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] peer review

hi, just a comment; peer review is really for very good articles needing final finishing touches; stubs and so on should probably be parked with some clean up tag. All the best. Mozzerati

[edit] U.S. presidential election, 2004, in California

Hey, I noticed you're the biggest contributor to that article so I was wondering what you thought of my idea on Talk:U.S. presidential election, 2004, in California? Thanks :) -- Joolz 13:47, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

OK, let's co-ordinate here, I was thinking we should use {{prettytable}} as well, I've created an example at User:Joolz/workshop3, what do you think? -- Joolz 18:27, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
I've done CA, CT and HI, and I'll start on some more in the morning, regards :) Joolz 21:26, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
I've seen it. Thank you. I'm currently working on NY, and created an updated table for CT on User:Joolz/workshop3. Regards --Revas 21:29, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Looks good to me, you can put it on the CT page, except I'd use − (−) instead of - :-) -- Joolz 00:29, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. presidential election in D.C.

Hi Revas. I agree that the pages should stay consistent. In fact, I was going to make the same change to the rest of the articles. I think that it makes it easier to see the winner than the (W)—do you agree? —Charles O'Rourke 22:31, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

To be honest, the only reason that justify the '(W) in order to indicate the winner is that the table I copied in order to create those pages was like it. Feel free to edit, but don't forget to do all the pages. And thanks again for your edits on the D.C. page !--Revas 22:38, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Will do. I've also been removing the extra years from the "See other presidential elections" list. I figure it makes more sense to just show the one before and the one after, and then when you go to those pages, it'll show the one before and after, etc. I think that especially makes sense since most of those pages don't exist yet. —Charles O'Rourke 22:42, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
I reverted this deletion because I think it's a good idea to create a red link in order to give the idea to someone else (or me, if I become less lazy) to create a stub (it's quite easy, from datas of this site.--Revas 22:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
I think it's kind of messy and arbitrary, though. Why not show all elections back to 1789 then? I think it makes more sense to just show the one before and after, and then when you create the New York 1988 article, it has links to 1984 and 1992, etc. Just my opinion. —Charles O'Rourke 22:46, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
Why not back to 1789 ? For a very arbitrary reason : I have no data from that election ;-) . Maybe you're right, but if I choose a random pge, let say YMD, you have link to all the past World Youth Day's, even those who do not exist yet. I don't know who's right, but I think we should keep to the status quo for now, and see it later. It's not the main issue we face on these pages.--Revas 22:50, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
I think red links only confuse readers who are actually using Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, and we should try to move away from them as much as possible. If we do leave the decision to have more than just the year before and year after, why don't we at least only add them as they're created rather than have 5 elections worth of red links? —Charles O'Rourke 22:57, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
Because Wikipedia is more than an encyclopedia. It's an encyclopedia the average reader can edit. And I'm afraid nobody will ever think about creating these pages (such as Idaho, 1988, a page nobody will care exept trudents and Boise's policital junkies) if they don't click on a red link. I think you already did that, no--Revas 23:01, 23 August 2005 (UTC) ?
But only political junkies like you or me will create these pages even if they are a red link.  :P And actually, I found the pages by going to your user page after I noticed you had edited a page I was interested in. I didn't have to click on any red links. (I've just been editing pages you already created.) —Charles O'Rourke 23:05, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
Ok, so let's erase the red links (exept 2008), but I just created the 1996 stub page for NY, and I think we should keep a link toward it in the 2004 page, or nobody will ever discover that it does actually exist.--Revas 23:08, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
Okay, but won't they see it if they click on the 2000 link? That one will show links to 1996 and 2004. —Charles O'Rourke 23:11, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
Well...let say that 5 people a mounth will see the 2004 page a mounth, then 1 will think about clicking to 2000, and so on we only have 1 people every 5 mounth watching the results of 1996...That's the reason I favor listing the more links I can : people gotta watch these pages : I spent time on it ! ;-) --Revas 23:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Integralism

Hi

The answer is in my talk page. --Truman Burbank 16:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New York City Community Boards

I think it might make sense to merge the fine work you've done on all of these into five consolidated articles, one for each borough. The content on individual community boards doesn't really have potential for expansion, as most local details rather belong in the neighborhood articles. What do you think of this idea?--Pharos 04:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

That's definitely a good idea. I agree, but as I'm currently (and for the next 9 mounths) working in in a foreign land, and therefore I'm not able to spend a lot of time on wikipedia, so I'd be glad if somebody else could do it.
Moreover, I saw you expanded considerabily the article about NYC mayoral election results. I want you to thank you for this exellent job, and ask where you found those datas. --Revas 18:59, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi. There's no need to point the redirects to a specific section of the Brooklyn Community Board article, and it's generally considered poor form to use redirects like this. BTW, the election numbers were from the Encyclopedia of New York City. I'll have to post the rest later.--Pharos 20:59, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Ok. Thanks. BTW, I'm creating a merged Manhattan Community Board article, and d you know if there is a blank map of NYC city state assembly district available ? --Revas 21:01, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging

Greetings. From the description and use of [[:Image:Vermont-county-2004.PNG], it appears you intended this media to be freely available. I took the liberty of applying a {{GFDL-presumed}} tag. Could you confirm this at by replacing my edit with {{GFDL-self}}? Regards, Dethomas 18:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Algeria

Please do not move a large number of articles without discussing it first, some of us may have discussed this in the past. Also, this being the english Wikipedia, we tend to prefer the english term, i.e. "province", when possible. I will likely revert these changes later today but I wanted to open a dialogue first. --Golbez 16:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, i forgot to talk discuss about the change first, sorry. But there is no reason to use the word "province", while Algerians, when speaking in Arabic or French, use the word "wilaya". Moreover, in Maghreb, the English word "province" is not translated by wilaya (to be honest, i forgot the word we translate by "province" in Morocco", but I hope I'll remember it asap). Thus it is a mistake to speak about the province of Algiers whiel referring to the wilaya of Algiers. Indeed, the term 'province of Algiers may also refer to the region that occupied the center of Algeria under the French rule before the creation of the département of Algiers, from wich the current wilaya has been extracted. The English wikipedia, while speaking tof the French départements, who are provinces and similar to Algerian wilayas, use the French term, so why should we do otherwise with Algerian wilayas ? I stop moving the rest of the wilayas article before we can reach a consensus about it, but please do not revert my changes too. Can we discuss of it on the Wilayas of Algeria article ? Thanks. --Revas 01:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I have little problem, specifically, with the changing to "wilaya" - however, please don't move them to "Wilaya of whatever". Use "Algiers wilaya", not "Wilaya of Algiers". It's a style and formality thing, we want to use the less formal form. And yes, this should be continued on the talk page. --Golbez 02:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
i'll answer on Wilayas of Algeria--Revas 02:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paris, etc

Thanks for your Île-de-France talk page addition. I've seen quite a few of your edits through the French Wiki pages, and quite frankly I wasn't certain what side of fact you were on - namely your request to merge "agglomération parisienne" and "aire urbaine" - but I was damn glad to see your post today. Thanks. THEPROMENADER 15:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A word of wisdom?

Revas,

Your knowledgable input will be much appreciated in the request to move vote going on at List of tallest structures in Paris.

I suggested this move because the title of this article is inaccurate; most of what this article contains is not "in Paris" but well outside of it. It is important in Wiki, to maintain verifiability, that articles have the administrative name of the area where their content can be found. One will not find towers in Courbevoie under an "in Paris" title in any reference.

I had proposed List of tallest structures in the Paris region, as "Paris region" encompasses everything contained in the article, and has connotations of "in and around Paris" to the layman; it is also the official translation of Île-de-France. Since opening the above there has been a counter-proposal: in an even more strict adherence to Wiki naming conventions, that it be literally named "in Île-de-France". I'm sure there are other suitable titles such as "Paris agglomeration" (though it is non-administrative) - anyhow your input in this as a 'local' (instead of an ignorant foreigner like me : ) would I'm sure be both welcome and respected.

Regards,

THEPROMENADER 08:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. presidential election, 2004, in NV/NM

Hi.

Just leaving a note saying I got bored today so decided to do something useful for once. I ordered the Nevada table by Bush's % and created a county results table for New Mexico and ordered it, also by Bush's %. I used Bush's % for them because he won both states. Hope thats okay.
