[edit] Acting Presidents of the Russian Federation

thanks for creating the category. however, you didnt actually put anything in it, making it a bit pointless; if someone needs to categorise an article as such, they'll create it themselves; instead someone now has to spend time deleting a wasted and unpopulated category.

[edit] Welcome!

Howdy, SeNeKa, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for your contributions, you seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics! If you need help on how to title new articles see the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. For general questions goto Wikipedia:Help or the FAQ, if you can't find your answer there check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. If you have any more questions after that, feel free to ask me directly on my user talk page.

[edit] United Nations Secretaries-General

hi! i just wanted to let you know i made the changes to the acting, because this box is used to identify the succession. it is not intended to be an infobox, which would litter up the box with all sorts of qualifiers. ancillary data is in the related articles. cheers! --emerson7 04:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

indeed...can we please stop this and discuss? --emerson7 19:09, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
let's please not start this again.... --emerson7 02:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Africa Cup of Nations, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

[edit] Please stop

You appear to be moving content from multiple football articles into templates, only to transclude those templates back onto the same pages. Please note that there is widespread Wikipedia consensus to NOT use single-use templates like this. Please undo these changes. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 19:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I've reverted all the pages mentioned above, and tagged all templates created for speedy deletion. Please don't do this again. Chanheigeorge (talk) 21:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flags

Hi. You might want to read the manual of style on flags before adding them to any more articles. Basically we do not use them like that to show births and deaths in biographical infoboxes; think yourself, what does Flag of the United Kingdom United Kingdom have that United Kingdom doesn't, in an encyclopedia for adults? --John (talk) 17:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please do some background reading

Quite a few of the comments on your talk page are really suggesting that you read a bit more about some of our accepted practices on Wikipedia - practices which we have arrived at by consensus, because they are useful to everybody.

Can I please commend another such practice to you - using edit summaries. When you edit a page, in any way (big or small), use the edit summary box to leave a succinct explanation of what you've done, and why you did it. This helps other editors when reviewing articles, and also helps us to understand your motives.

I have reverted your recent edit to Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The map which you deleted is used as the location map for both SMOM and the Vatican City, and is helpful to readers. I do not know why you removed it, because you left no edit summary! I think you would find it useful to do some more background reading about how Wikipedia works.

[edit] Flags of cities

Please stop adding flags of cities to Russian football articles. They really add nothing to them.  ARTYOM  17:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please

I saw this edit. Please by civil. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 10:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

We don't protect specific versions. We just protect the page as we come to it. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 10:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Talk it out with the other user. That's the best way to handle it. Until some sort of agreement is made or the sides calm down, the page will stay protected. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 11:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 11:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Хорошо, разблокировал. Просьба, однако, больше не воевать — если у вас какие-то несогласия с другими участниками по поводу форматирования/содержания, то воспользуйтесь страницей обсуждения.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of Iran

Please dont change this template, Country flag or State flag, Iran participated at olympics (before 1979) under lion and sun flag. look at this, and this photo, is it enough ?--Mohsen1248 (talk) 21:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Venezuelan flag

Why did you change the Venezuelan flag and coat of arms with images that do not represent the actual flag or coat of arms in the article Venezuela?. If you even look closely, the coat of arms you uploaded is not even the same as the one in the flag that you also uploaded.

I work for the Venezuelan government and I believe that you are misinformed or you might just be vandalizing this page on purpose. You can take a look at what the real symbols are at the official Venezuelan government web portal at:

http://www.gobiernoenlinea.ve/venezuela/perfil_simbolosp.html

Let me know why did you make such changes before getting a wikipedia editor in this dispute.
