[edit] Antonio López de Santa Anna

He had eleven terms as president, but the infobox has only allowed to show ten on the article. Any way to fix this? Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Either hardcode it or ask the template editors to add another entry? —Nightstallion 18:14, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
What's hardcoding? Therequiembellishere (talk) 02:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Using tags like < br> and '''text''' and so on to make it appear as if the template supported more lines. —Nightstallion 09:07, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Would you mind doing this? I'l know what to do from then on if you do. The code is there, just not appearing. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Afd

I am simply trying to make the process entirely transparent. In any case, I used Twinkle to run the AfD, which automatically notifies the creator - that is hardly influencing a vote, since I'm going to assume the creator would want the article kept. Please keep calm. David Fuchs (talk) 23:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm trying to, but saying that I tried to influence the vote when all I did was notify the most prominent editors is a lie. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
First off, I never insinuated that you were trying to influence the vote, but seriously man, think for a second. Do you really believe that A) the most frequent editors are likely to support deletion, and B) that they would miss the big honkin' afd template? David Fuchs (talk) 23:35, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
*sighs* Never mind, then. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Archived

Hello wikifriend! Per your request I archived your talkpage to the best of my ability. If you ever need help again, feel free to ask. I hope you will return the favor and contribute to the Heroes peer review section...lol...I know you dont have time, but if you get an extra five minutes during the week, please make your way over. You have made some excellent contributions to the overall Heroes wikiproject and your review is valueable. Hope to see you on the boards! lol Heroes Peer Review--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 04:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I asked someone else, but they must have been on WikiBreak. When I saw you archive the Company, I thought, "Score!" Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
no problem. I just learned how to archive talkpages yesterday and I already got the hang of it. There is a wikitag or a notice for you to put on the top of your archived talk page that tells users that the discussion on this page is archived and then links to your current talkpage. i am not sure how to add this tag, but you might find some useful info at Help:Archiving a talk page--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 04:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, I found it on one of my watched pages. Therequiembellishere (talk) 05:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brethren Court

Could you please create a page with all the Brethren Court code at User:Therequiembellishere/Brethren Court so I can thin out the character sections and move the to the redirected page? Therequiembellishere (talk) 02:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Nope, but I'll email it to you. Enable your wp email and validate it and request again. ~Kylu (u|t) 02:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Er, I'm not really sure what you mean, sorry. I can give it to you: (redacted by kylu) . Hope this works! Therequiembellishere (talk) 03:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll send it, but perhaps we should talk about how to set the email thing... ~Kylu (u|t) 03:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Lol, alright. Have people been harassing others? Therequiembellishere (talk) 03:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
No, do you want to be the first to have problems, though? Anywho! Go to special:preferences, fill in your email addy, click save. It'll send you a confirmation email with a link, click that. Now, while anyone could email you something now (as you've made your email public and all, but hopefully they won't dig very well) anyone can mail you from within Wikipedia once that's set by going to special:emailuser/Therequiembellishere ... and they won't know what your email is. Unless you state it publicly or something silly like that... c.c ~Kylu (u|t) 03:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Lol. Okay, thank you very much! Therequiembellishere (talk) 03:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I did that a while back, but I forgot to enable emails. Oops. Therequiembellishere (talk) 03:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Sadly, I don't have access to special:userinfo or I'd have been able to figure out the problem earlier, myself. C'est la vie. ~Kylu (u|t) 03:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Winston Churchill

The importance of Woodstock is that it was the 'family borough' Lord Randolph had been member and from 1832 (when the seat was reconstituted after the Reform Act) till 1876 it was held by either a member of the Churchill family or their nominee. I propose to revert this (perhaps with a note to show its importance) but will await your commentBacknumber1662 (talk) 05:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of any significance to the others, if it is absolutely imperative, then sure. However, I feel that a simple place and country should do because if you want to get more specific the smaller division almost always shows the larger division it is part of. Therequiembellishere (talk) 15:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marini

Shouldn't saying that he is the Prime Minister-designate be alright? I've hidden the section on the infobox and the succession box until I get an answer. Please respond in three days or I'll un-hide it. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I would say no, because it's possible that he may never even become PM (that is, if he loses the vote of confidence in Parliament required for him to take office). --Tsk070 (talk) 03:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Funnel Cake

I have learned how to make it and it is delicious. Don't be surprised if I come home obese.

The preceding comment has a lot to do with Wikipedia and deserves to go on your Talk page.

With love, Minervamoon (talk) 14:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] president/prime minister

Serbia unlike Russia for an example has no connection between the president and the prime minister so it is a mistake to add that information into infobox. It is OK in a pure presidential system where President appoints the PM but it makes no sense in here. --Avala (talk) 18:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to "Overview of results"

Don't get too aggressive in altering Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries‎#Overview of results; it's likely your work will be reverted. A lot of people have been maintaining that table. I removed flags from section headers only after opening a discussion. See Talk:Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries‎#Section layout. Wdfarmer (talk) 08:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shimon Peres

Why the revert on the Shimon Peres article? Flymeoutofhere (talk) 13:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

See Chen-shui bian and Bruce Golding's talks for the two most drawn arguments as of late I've had. Boris Tadic had a problem exactly like this and Avala (I believe that's it) reneged after ignoring my offer to discuss it for quite some time and found that it has become the standard not to show the person's order. Therequiembellishere (talk) 20:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
OK - I appreciate that but then what about George Bush for example which is a GA article. Flymeoutofhere (talk) 20:14, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
As an American, I can say that one of the reasons I am an Anglophile is due to the United States and its stubbornness to use spellings, punctuations, grammar and vocabulary improperly and its peoples' arrogance to think that because they are big, they can have their own way, despite the rest. Canada and Australia also have this problem. Therequiembellishere (talk) 20:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to the presidents

WP:MOS#Numbers

  • Ordinal numbers are given as words using the same rules as for cardinal numbers. The exception is ordinals for centuries, which are always expressed in figures (the 5th century CE; 19th-century painting). The ordinal suffix (e.g., th) is not superscripted (23rd and 496th, not 23rd and 496th).

-- Zsero (talk) 22:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question regarding you recent Edits

Hello! you edited pages of Prime Ministers of Pakistan including Malik Meraj Khalid, Muhammad Mian Soomro ans some others, so I want to ask that do the term numbers written in infobox violates WP:MOS. Thanks! --SMS Talk 05:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Bruce Golding and Chen shui-bian's talk pages answer this the best. Therequiembellishere (talk) 20:46, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. As has already been mentioned by other editors above, please read the Wikipedia:Manual of Style for details regarding linking to years and also using superscripts. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 14:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Current Events Barnstar

The Current Events Barnstar
For your work with articles related to the 2006-2008 Cuban transfer of presidential duties, I award you this barnstar. Thank you, and salute! JeffBillman (talk) 22:36, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much, it's my first! Therequiembellishere (talk) 22:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] a-doption

hi. please can you adopt me as i am new to wiki and am interested in politics. please reply on my wiki page. Georgereev118118 (talk) 13:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for taking so long. Sure, just come to me anytime for questions and I'll see if I can help. My other child seems to have learned the ropes now ;-) Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh, they can be any type of questions, too. Not just Wiki. Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pokemon titles?

I made some changes to the Pokemon anime films page to reflect the actual American DVD titles. I think the titles you're showing are the titles for the main feature included in the DVD. This doesn't really help anyone FIND the movies though! Why not use the DVD titles? How about at least including a separate column with the DVD titles? This would allow anyone to go to Amazon, Netflix, etc, and FIND these movies. Thanks, hypert —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hypert (talk • contribs) 04:26, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Raul Castro

Hello There (no pun intended). Raul Castro assumed office on February 24, 2008 (i.e. assumed Presidency). He did not assume office in 2006, he only assumed the powers & duties of the office in an 'Acting' capacity. Simply put (and no offense), your edit version is 'too' confusing & misleading. GoodDay (talk) 16:53, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

It's not, this is how all of the others I've seen do this Vladimir Putin, Thein Sein, Tufuga Efi. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with that format. But, I've no intentions of 'reverting' again. I'll let others decide if it's confusing or not. GoodDay (talk) 19:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
PS- You didn't have to plead with me to stop reverting your edits. I wasn't gonna edit-war over it. GoodDay (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
What do you mean? Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Your 'edit summary' "Please stop, this isn't westernisation, this is his title...". Nothing serious. GoodDay (talk) 14:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
That was actually toward Dojarca. Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Okie Dokie. GoodDay (talk) 18:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Well I am not as easily put off by constant reversions as some others. The box is titled "President of Cuba". On what date did Raul Castro become President of Cuba? On 24 February 2008. This seems very elementary to me. The fact that he was acting president from September 2006 should be noted, and it is noted. But he did not become President then. Fidel Castro was President then, and remained so until 24 February 2008. If you persist in reverting to the erroneous date I will take whatever steps are open to me to have you desist. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 11:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Therequiembellishere. The 'July 31, 2006' dates is mis-leading & confusing. I'm in agreement with Intel Mr Toad. PS- Vladimir Putin should be fixed aswell. GoodDay (talk) 15:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
PS- I've fixed up the Putin page, to correctly show he took office as Russian President on May 7, 2000. GoodDay (talk) 16:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

How many edits I've made is immaterial. (Actually I've made many thousands of edits since 2003, under other names.) What is material is that you persist in reverting to a version of this article which is clearly false (stating that Raul Castro became President of Cuba in 2006), and have refused to respond to the efforts made above by me and GoodDay to discuss this matter with you. I will not revert you again today, since I don't wish to be blocked under the 3R rule, but I will revert you tomorrow if no-one else does so first. In the meantime I am refering your behaviour to an administrator. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 05:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re adoption

thanks for adopting me. can you tell me how to start on wiki send me some stuff? Vote John McCain 2008! Georgereev118118 (talk) 15:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Lol, which one? Hm. I like Sarkozy a fair bit right now. Unfortunately, I'm unable to take the entire scope into perspective nearly as well as I'd like to. Therequiembellishere (talk) 11:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

do you like the queen?Georgereev118118 (talk) 11:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, she doesn't really do anything, so I don't have a reason to not like her. Therequiembellishere (talk) 11:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
do you like the queen of england? Georgereev118118 (talk) 11:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course! How do you think I got all my userboxes? Therequiembellishere (talk) 12:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
ta. when will i get a reply from the bot? Georgereev118118 (talk) 12:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
I can't remember. It's not long, though. It has to sift through a lot so I think it was a day, three at the max, but that sounds too long also. Therequiembellishere (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

do you like the new Russian president|Georgereev118118 (talk) 18:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I couldn't tell you. I don't know very much about him. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR at Ralphie Castro

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Raúl Castro. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. An experienced editor with a high edit count should take the case to talk

[edit] Kahana Crew edit on LOST article

I noticed you undid my edit to the section. Why is it "pointless, ridiculous and not alphabetical"? Every other list is listed in alphabetical order by first name. I don't see what the problem was. 69.255.193.198 (talk) 16:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

No, they're listed by LAST name. Oceanic shows that. Therequiembellishere (talk) 16:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Nope, still the Oceanic names are also alphabetized by FIRST name. 69.255.193.198 (talk) 17:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rictusempra

Hi. You undid my change as original research. Georges lists ringor as "to tease" for Terence, Horace and Seneca. So I don't really see why that is original research. Also I don't understand what you mean with "not in the spell". Of course, the present stem is "not in the spell". --Seegurke (talk) 17:44, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

For you to use a term, it should be related to the word. Hopefully, we can find a verifiable source fore its root, which we have. To being a word that fits well, but isn't related is less preferable. Also, all new topics go at the bottom of the page. Therequiembellishere (talk) 21:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Order of Prime Ministers and Presidents

Hello! I recommend you adding a hidden comment from not adding the order of Prime Minister or President in the infoboxes. --SMS Talk 20:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not following you, what d'you mean? Therequiembellishere (talk) 20:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
I have seen you removing the order of Prime Minister of Pakistan from the infoboxes of many articles of PMs more than once, but someone again added these order. So, I was suggesting if you add a hidden comment like this in the infoboxes <!-- PLZ! DON'T ADD ORDER OF PRIME MINISTER SHIP, IT VIOLATES WP:MOS --> or something like that. --SMS Talk 20:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I see. I did that with Yousaf Raza Gillani, but forgot about WP:MOS! I'll add it to him and Musharraf right away. I contacted the person who has continually added it as well. Therequiembellishere (talk) 20:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

As in Amadou Toumani Touré, you inserted !-- Please do not add his order, it is against WP:MOS, unused and clutter --. This may be reasonable (I could easily be convinced), but

Please check this out, and a see if

  • there is a concensus for what you're instructing people to do
  • there is some policy which, unlike WP:MOS, you can direct people to which explains the problem.

all the best, T L Miles (talk) 01:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, SRS is the person that told me it didn't follow MOS, I guess I should have looked myself. We never got to a consensus, but it is, for the most part, the standard. Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:45, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, well, the reverting of their edit may have irritated them to the extent that they vandalised your user pages, I've had it happen to me as well. I wouldn't label their edit to the article as vandalism, however the edits to your userspace were. You can warn users by using these templates, but I woulnd't recommend you mark their article edits as vandalism, unless they become clearly vandalistic. I've warned each user, and if it continues, re-report. I'd suggest maybe post on WP:ANI. Steve Crossin (talk to me) 05:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Look at McAleese's history now. Therequiembellishere (talk) 20:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't have bothered adding it myself, but I don't really object to the order number for the Presidents; the office has not changed title, and we don't have the problem of non-consecutive terms which makes the numbers such a bad idea with Taoisigh. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, BHG, I'm glad you agree with me for once! This is nothing like the President of the Executice Council/Taoiseach debate, it was a completely new office. Btw, *I* didn't add the order no to the Presidents of Ireland infoboxes but since De Valera through Robinson have them, McAleese's infobox should be consistent with the other articles in the series. You know it makes sense!
On a related note, this article List of Taoisigh by important facts should really mention W. T. Cosgrave, at least in passing. Snappy56 (talk) 03:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] no adoption

I read the Bertie Ahern talk page and I think you have double standards on Wiki. Also, you spent all your time denying Kosovo's rightly earned place on the first list on the List of Rcognized State Leaders, then you did a complete U-turn (very un-Thatcherite!) and added Kosovo to the list. Please amend your ways or else I will stop being your adoptee and find someone less militant. Georgereev118118 (talk) 14:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Please reply to my post, unlike you did when I was shocked about my user page being nominated for deletion...Georgereev118118 (talk) 14:03, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I specifically said that once it had sufficient recognition, it would be added. I didn't respond because it didn't show anything and thought your computer had an error. If you've actually read the Ahearn page, you'll see exactly why the Canadian, Australian and American pages are the way they are: because the majority of them are stubborn and that's the simple truth. If I could constantly take the orders away I would but I'd get blocked because of that. Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Why were you on Ahearn's page anyway? Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
I apologise for being on Bertie Aherne's page. Next time I wont use Wiki for what it is meant for - an encyclopedia - and will just forget about my political interests. Georgereev118118 (talk) 13:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
It was just a bloody question. You haven't responded to anything else anyway. Therequiembellishere (talk) 15:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay but to be fair, you didn't come to ask me about the picture problem above. Therequiembellishere (talk) 16:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UK Deputy PM

You seem to be one of the most knowledgeable people on the UK's government, so I think I'll go to you! Nobody has responded on Brown's page on who his deputy is. I've narrowed it to Harriet Harman because of the deputy position in Commons, Alister Darling because (from my point of view) he seems to be the next most powerful minister and Jack Straw because of his new, prestigious positions and how most of us thought he was actually given the Deputy PM and First Secretary of State position. Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

There is currently no Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - there's no constitutional requirement for one. Harriet Harman is the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party and would become Acting Leader if anything were to happen to Gordon Brown. Technically it would be up to the Queen as to who would become PM, but she'd probably call for Harman. Hope this answers your question. --Philip Stevens (talk) 19:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Do you think it'd be alright if I put her up in the deputy section of his infobox? Therequiembellishere (talk) 20:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to interrupt, but we could not put anyone in the deputy section — as Mr Stevens noted, there are reasons for Harman to be named as such, but equally, as you said, Darling is the Second Lord and Chancellor is without exception the second most powerful minister (even above the DPM when there is one)... It's just too nuanced to be expressed as "deputy is X" † DBD 20:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Well what if I put her in as deputy ad interim? That is effectively what she is. And if a DPM is ever chosen, would it be appropriate to place them there at all then? Tehy don't really have power and they don't necessarily take control either, right? Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Odinga

Do you have any idea when Raila Odinga is taking office? Therequiembellishere (talk) 15:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

It was supposed to be today, but there was a disagreement and now it's on hold. See 2007–2008 Kenyan crisis. Everyking (talk) 17:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I'll probably need your help again

On Umaru Yar'Adua. It's User:Cindy larkin from the Thein Sein page. I didn't notice the IP similarities until she mentioned it. I've been trying to be more civil with others lately, but still. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

[edit] User page vandalism

Anon. IP (194.46.229.3‎) vandalized your user page and I've reverted it and placed warnings on the IP talk page.--Cahk (talk) 00:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, yes. That would be one of the many IPs of the elusive person who you, I and others have continued to revert on Bertie Ahern's page. I've undone the most recent and I guess that'll put the page back on watch. This isn't the first time he or she has responded in this manner. Therequiembellishere (talk) 03:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ITN/C

Yeah, that was uncalled for. I saw Doug Youvan and Nukeh. Forgive me for that, if you can. Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I totally forgive you, man. I just called you a dolt for making a silly mistake. Meant nothing by it. Be more careful next time. No hard feelings? -- Grant.Alpaugh 04:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Indeed. See you on the page. Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Abbas party

You're claiming Abbas is a member of VIVA-RNDP without citation. You must have a citation if you want to add that, and I find it unlikely that Deby would name a PM from that party when he just fired the party's leader from that same job. Everyking (talk) 03:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I just put what hte Prime Minister of Chad page has. Therequiembellishere (talk) 03:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
That's probably because whoever updated it just copied and pasted the format from the previous entry in the table and didn't bother to change it. Everyking (talk) 03:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] President of the Council of Ministers of Italy

Would you mind moving President of the Council of Ministers of Italy to Prime Minister of Italy? Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Mh. Why? —Nightstallion 20:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Indeed, why? That would be not correct. --Checco (talk) 08:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Presidents of the Council of Ministers of Italy

Would you mind moving List of Presidents of the Council of Ministers of Italy back to List of Prime Ministers of Italy? It was moved unilaterally by Checco only 36 hours ago. Therequiembellishere (talk) 22:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. Let me know if you need someone to lock it there. Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ahern/Cowen help

The IP (this time as 194.46.235.142) deleted the presidents again, and with the change, I can't watch the two at once. Could you please have the lot blocked? Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I am not sure how/why you thought I was an administrator - I am only a rollbacker and I can't block an IP range. --Cahk (talk) 05:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, just thought you were. What should the appropriate action be? I wasn't successful the last time I tried because I hadn't sufficiently warned them. Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:48, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
The only way to get them blocked is through warning 1-4. After that, the IP range will usually be blocked for 1 day/31 hours (beware of edit wars though - as you might be the one who will be blocked)--Cahk (talk) 19:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 11th Taoiseach

I notice you edited out my insertion of the sequence number of Brian Cowen as 11th Taoiseach. Mr. Cowen is the 11th Taoiseach. While the number is never used in referring to the office holder it does indicate the number of office holders. The number is used in the articles referring to pervious holders of the office. I appreciate that you are only trying to be correct. I feel however that in the spirit of being an encyclopedia it is ipmortant to insert the number. For example most of the world knows that George Bush is the 43rd President of the United States in the same spirit a reader should know that Brian Cowen is the 11th Taoiseach of Ireland. Just a point please understand I'm not trying to be picky or narky! Rigger30 (talk) 19:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

It's all right! I've been a bit testy lately. Please see the talk page of Bertie Ahern. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi again,
I looked at the discussion on Bertie Ahern and I have to suggest that in general discussion it might be better to acknowledge that Mr. Cowen is the 12th Head of Government but to list him in the infobox as the 11th Taoiseach as he is the 11th person to hold the title. All the articles on previous Taoisigh list their number. Also to follow the line of argument logically Mary Mc Aleese would not be the 8th President of Ireland because there were a number of Governors General during the time of Saorstát Éireann. Just a point! Rigger30 (talk) 18:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] removing titles in EIIR and Beatrix

Hi.. not sure why you're removing titles of issue for EIIR and Beatrix, but it doesn't seem appropriate. Can you provide a reason for doing so? PrinceOfCanada (talk) 04:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

My rationale is that they're looking for the person's name, not tile. With all the titles in, it tends to crowd the infobox, too. Therequiembellishere (talk) 04:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Interesting rationale, but still.. they do have the titles, and since having the name + title still includes the name, I don't think it makes sense. I'll be keeping the titles in. PrinceOfCanada (talk) 04:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
And we're at 3RR. Please provide a verifiable reason for making the change. PrinceOfCanada (talk) 04:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes

You've got to be more careful about what you put in infoboxes. You had Lansana Kouyaté as a member of the ruling party! Do you put those kinds of things just as placeholders? If you don't know a person's political party (Kouyaté isn't a member of one), please, just leave it blank. Everyking (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] EII succession boxes

I'm confused about the dates in the succession box issue. I've seen other pages with succession boxes that include full dates. I've also seen articles where some boxes have full dates and some have just years (e.g., Tony Blair). What's wrong with doing it on EII's page? -Rrius (talk) 12:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

They really shouldn't be, that's not how they're set up and the majority of what I see don't have full dates. Therequiembellishere (talk) 12:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I'm still a little in the dark. Are you saying succession boxes weren't designed to handle full dates? Or is it an MoS thing? -Rrius (talk) 12:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I'll say MOS, but I'm not sure. They put a lot of information in such a small place that should be in specific articles instead. There's a reason that the section is "years". Therequiembellishere (talk) 12:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I remember him alright. It certainly looks like him, but it's your assumption. File a sockpuppet report and then send me the link so I back vouch your part of the discussion. Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:22, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Union of South American Nations

Why was it removed? The oldest on the then list was the headline, "The International Court of Justice awards Pedra Branca to Singapore and Middle Rocks to Malaysia, ending a 29-year territorial dispute between the two countries," and after that, "Dima Bilan wins the Eurovision Song Contest for Russia with "Believe"." The USAN was certainly more important than the two as well. Could you put it back up? Therequiembellishere (talk) 14:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

It was the oldest. Can you see here the date "May 23" for the entry? --BorgQueen (talk) 15:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
It was added much after and the ICJ ruling was also on the twenty-third. Therequiembellishere (talk) 15:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
In any case, the entry will hopefully be re-added as soon as we can have some space for more ITN entries without upsetting Main Page balance. --BorgQueen (talk) 15:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay; I hope it does. Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

Without the years in the infobox it looks like she has two vice presidents at once. And there's precedence for doing this... see Richard Nixon's vice presidents. Or do you want to remove the years from that article too? :p TheCoffee (talk) 00:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
