That was no vandalism at Italy. Please restore that. Gzornenplatz 06:35, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Nevermind; I saw other reverts of this and assumed it was policy to revert them. I'm not going to get into a useless war over some templates. Put it back if you care. User:Novalis 06:44:37 Jan 10, 2005
There is a vote going on at Wikipedia:Country_infobox_vote. I would appreciate your input. --Cantus
Hi, there's a new Solution E that's been proposed for the country infoboxes; I've changed my vote from the Solution D that I proposed, earlier. The new option, proposed by User:Zocky, transcludes a subpage instead of using the template mechanism for this.
See: Nepal's infobox is implemented at Nepal/infobox using Template:Infobox_Country; Tuvalu's is implemented at Tuvalu/infobox as a wiki table.
Discussion is at: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Countries
Thanks. — Davenbelle 01:27, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
Hi again, I noticed that you changed your vote on the country infoboxes question to E), and then struck out your previous vote, and also removed the vote for E). If this was your intent, fine. But it seems to me that you may have removed the E) vote inadvertently... so I'm dropping you this note. — Davenbelle 01:52, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. Wikipedia was acting up, I think. Novalis 17:07, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moving articles
Hello, I finally changed the name of the License of GNU Ada article to GNAT Modified General Public License. I hope the new name is a good one. Also, I would like to make a suggestion: it seems you transferred the content of the article with cut&paste, but it's better to use the move option to preserve the page's history. That's all. And thanks for pointing us out the problem with the name of the license. --suruena 13:15, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)
[edit] Wine
I have moved your additions to the Wine talk page, for reasons explained there. You cant just say "Brochet 2001" is a reference, it is meaningless without a full citation. And you were being deliberately non-NPOV. Please continue any discussion on the Wine talk page. Justinc 12:48, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you...
... for your edit to Werner Erhard. Others were removing this notable and highly sourced information. Smee 19:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC).
- Looks like the info you added in your edit was removed by a supporter of the subject of the article. And it only took 8 minutes at that! Later, Smee 19:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] An Inconvenient Truth
Oops! You were totally right, and I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed his own claims. Very sorry! Novalis 20:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- I was a student at the University of Winnipeg and no department of climatology exists there. Therefore, it is impossible for Ball to have been a "professor of climatology". Just giving you my explanation for the change I made. Iceberg007 22:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sydney Coach Terminal
Hi, You recently removed external links from the page that I created, Sydney Coach Terminal. Even though its no big deal, some of those external links are in other pages, take for example Murrays and possibly the Greyhound Australia article. If it is O.K for these links to be on other pages then why can't they be on the Sydney Coach article, they are all related. Thanks User:Mindys12345
It makes sense to have a link to X in an article about X. But in an article about Y, it looks like linkspam. Novalis 15:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of Serbs from Mostar
The reason I put back "expelled" is not because I don't believe in the events themselves! It's the term itself "ethnic cleanse" which is harsh and unfair. The only people ever to have waged "ethnic war" is the rotten Americans and their puppet allies. War is war, in the Balkans it happened, and you and I can't go back and change it. But if there is one thing that every conflict had in common, it is that what looked like an ethnic war - did infact have a political theme at its base - and as such, Albanians from Kosovo and W.Macedonia did have a number of ethnic Serbs/Macedonians on their side; equally many Albanians who were (and still are) non-sympathisers of Greater Albanian enthusiasts found themselves victims of Albanian atrocity, seeking comfort through the security forces of FR Yugoslavia or Macedonia; at the same time, the armies of Yugoslavia and Macedonia did themselves recruit some of these Albanians to carry out duties in their war against the KLA (and that could have meant, part-taking in expelling Albanian families who funded or supported the KLA). And all of this applies to each war in the Balkans; Croat vs Serb, Bosniak vs Croat and so on and so forth. The idiots stupid enough to take up arms themselves to fight the battles for a cleric who never even knew their names, may well have been stupid enough to say "I fight for the Serb army, death to all Croats", but those further up the ladder, the generals and intellects knew that down there among this bunch of idiots fighting for them, were people of various ethnicities. Some even made it higher up the ranking, Bunaovic's mayor was Albanian before they murdered him, and such they did because he was in the SPS; and if one can make it into that league, and still call himself Albanian, then the grounds for the fighting could not have been ethnic! But when the US and their NATO buddies cried "genocide! ethnic cleansing!" even though it clearly wasn't, they got involved and went to war. To substantiate their claims, they had to be tight-lipped that Milosevic employed Albanians; Albanians employed Slavic peoples - and so their war against FR Yugoslavia was against an ethnic group. Any Serb/Slavic person killed by NATO was a victim of ethnic atrocity. The people of Mostar harmed in the article all had in common the fact that they were Serb, but the real reason they were expelled was because they chose not to alline themselves politicly to the perpetrators of their attacks! Just to clarify, I don't dispute anything and I know Serb civilians were victims in all conflicts. 212.24.91.2 12:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- While your comments are interesting, I don't think they show that what happened to the Serbs in Mostar was part of a deliberate policy of removing Serbs from certain area, and that that policy was described by the media as ethnic cleansing. Maybe there was a non-ethnic component to it too, but that doesn't mean that the term is inaccurate. I don't particularly want to get into an edit war. Shall we take this to mediation?
- Well if you must. I don't want an edit war either, especially when we are not against each other over the issue. I'm just saying that the citizens of Mostar, like everyone else, was harmed on political rather than ethnic grounds. The trouble is, people use ethnicit6y themselves to get into large groups, and that is the source of this international confusion. 212.24.91.2 10:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
