Hi, Actually my edit to Aristarchus (crater) /sectors was not vandalism, but an accidental misuse of copy/paste might have made part of it appear so. I've re-done it to reflect my original intention. Thanks, Chris. 82.2.80.164 20:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Turkey

Please see discussion at Category talk:Diplomatic missions by country and comment, thanks! Kransky (talk) 12:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Should be done according to how each foreign affairs depart. classifies them. e.g. CHina. With respect to Turkey, it can be considered as an European country, a Middle eastern country, a Eurasian country, or an Asian country or all of them. so in this case it would depend on the how the diplomatic country classifies it -- on a country-by-country basis.
Maybe when or if Turkey gains full EU membership in 10, 20, 30 etc years time then -- for example -- China's foreign ministry will move diplomatic responsibility for Turkey to its Europe and Central Asia division or Europe division. Zap 14:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Please add your comment to the discussion page. As for your idea, it would be pretty difficult to know what each foreign ministry thinks. Kransky (talk) 09:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My contribuition to the Raytheon page.

Is a verifiable fact. They are the worlds number one producer of guided missiles (which mainly end up killing civilians by the way). You could have easily checked it yourself with a simple search instead of reverting my changes just to be a little prick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fettzort (talk • contribs) 16:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not my job to check everything by searching for it. In that case why not delete every single reference on wikipedia and say look for it yourself. Zap 17:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Large companies in China

Hi! Some of the companies in red link were forwarded to respective company names. The remaining do not have English paragraphs currently. Ricky@36 23:15 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your help. Zap 15:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please follow the rules

Wikipedia is not your personal website. If you want to create articles, please follow the rules. If you don't you will be blocked from editing. – ukexpat (talk) 19:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I've been creating many articles of the same nature that not deleted. Zap 19:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Deleting speedy deletion tags on articles you have created is not following the rules - the speedy notice on the article tells you how to contest it. If you had followed that simple rule so that an admin could review the articles and decide on whether to speedily delete or not, I would not have reported you. – ukexpat (talk) 20:00, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 24 hour block

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeated abuse of editing privileges. Please stop. You're welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

Firstly, I am templating a regular because it gives you the option of appealing your block - providing you understand the reason for your block and you address the reason why it was applied then I would be happy for it to be lifted. (note to reviewing admin - please end or vary tariff as you see fit) Secondly, you have been around WP long enough to know you must not remove speedy delete notices from articles you have created or been the main contributor. You can use the {{hangon}} template, or simply trust that the reviewing admin will recognise the value of the article. Your own actions mean that you are now unable to contest the notices, until the block expires or is lifted. I suggest that you undertake to follow process should the block be lifted when you make your appeal. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

{{unblock|Could you please respond?
I don't know how to contest this block. is there an sysop i can talk to?

Everything I've been doing when creating articles is exactly what I have been doing before when no one had a problem. Zap 20:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC) Could we get this bureacracy moving please?

{{help}} Could someone get the user above to respond?

Hi! You can use the syntax {{unblock|your reason here}} to contest your block. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 20:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Could you leave a message on the user's talk page please? thanks
My English is not so good so i don't know what you mean by syntax, but I try anyway {{</nowiki>unblock|your reason here}}
Let me make it clearer (apologies for not making it clear the first time :-) ) - You need to take out the nowiki things, including the < and > and the /, and then replace the ''your reason here'' with a reason that you should be unblocked. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 21:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
aha thanks.}}Zap 22:05, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "request to unblock"

Decline reason: "Need to give a reason after the pipe — Daniel Case (talk) 22:45, 29 March 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

Why should you be unblocked? Do you understand the reason for your block? Woody (talk) 22:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "I was blocked for removing speedy deletion templates which I thought was unwarranted. I request to be unblocked because I don't think I was vandalizing. Instead I am making this encyclopedia better, and I have been willing to talk about it but the user who blocked me doesn't want to discuss the matter."

Decline reason: "Unfortunately, many pages get created on Wikipedia every day that for one reason or another need to be removed. Removing the deletion tags from these pages is considered disruptive and unhelpful. Administrators need these tags so they can review the articles to check if they meet deletion criteria. If the tag is unwarranted, an administrator will remove it themselves. I'd encourage you to read through our deletion policy for more information on this, as I'm not convinced you fully understand why you were blocked. — Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)"

[edit] Speedy deletion of Minmetals Resources

A tag has been placed on Minmetals Resources requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 20:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
