[edit] Deletion of talk page

Hi again, just to complete your set of warnings - please don't just delete your talk page, this is also against Wikipedia policy! MarkThomas 23:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Not deleted, but archived. Lear 21 23:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, my apologies, missed the archiving action. MarkThomas 23:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] European Union - WP:CIVIL (again)

Please help Wikipedia by not addressing other users with aggressive language, as you did in the edit summary of your reversion of 13:26, 5 February 2007. Far better to take it to the discussion page. Countersubject 13:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] block/unblock

I briefly blocked you by mistake. My apologies. You should be unblocked now William M. Connolley 20:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barcelona population

I did not add this new figure. The figures I have references for are the 2005 ones. I don't know who put this 2006 figure or where they got it from, since the 2006 figures are not yet in the city council's webpage. --Andromeda 08:00, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Impersonation?

There seems to be someone arguing vaguely on the discussion page of France in your name. I do not expect it to be you seeing your user page. Perhaps you should check it out. This is on the topic of the French economy, one of the last section opened in the discussion page. A direct link. Best regards. --Huygens 25 18:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] City figures

My edits were not reverted by "several editors". They were reverted by you essentially, and then one anonymous IP from Norway. You have reverted my edits without even explaining why on the talk page, just stating in your revert that somehow it "blows up" the section. That's a bit short! All I can see so far is that you like to present your home city Berlin as the second largest city in the EU, using population within city limits to do so, whereas you know full well that city limits vary from country to country and are quite meaningless. Paris or Madrid have way more inhabitants than Berlin in their urban and metro areas, so please stop using Wikipedia to propagate Deutschland-über-alles propaganda. I notice from Talk:France that you tend to have a rather antagonistic way to edit Wikipedia, running headlong into other editors. I don't think that's the way to behave on Wikipedia. Now if you have something serious to say, please express it on the relevant talk pages, in a civil manner, instead of reverting people at will. Keizuko 00:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

You are the one, which hasnt commented on talk page once. Your new table is oversized. All relevant EU cities, urban areas, metro areas are represented in the section in a standard way: compare USA , China, others. The cities with image also represent the political centers of the biggest countries. PLUS : There is most certainly a relevance deriving from city limits, as they are proper of political power exercised by a Mayor or Governeur. Lear 21 01:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag tips

I have some templates for simplifying display of flags on your user page (or in user boxes). I created {{User:Will Pittenger/templates/Nation Flag Entry}} and {{User:Will Pittenger/templates/Province Flag Entry}} to support the Places I have been portion of my user page.

However, if you want to display just the flags, you can call {{User:Will Pittenger/templates/GetCountryFlag}} and {{User:Will Pittenger/templates/GetProvinceFlag}}. They take a series of codes (top level domain codes for nations and postal codes for provinces or states) and return an SVG. If that SVG ever moves, you get the new location once I update the template. (You might need to purge your page.) Will (Talk - contribs) 01:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] E.U. "If ranked".

I added "If ranked" to the E.U. information bar because it was always there and because certain rankes belong to actual countries but at the same time are shared with the E.U. which makes no sense. "If ranked" needs to be there so people know that the E.U. does not hold those ranks but IF it were a country it would hold them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.211.254.144 (talk) 01:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

This contradiction is explained in the footnote. No need to mess up the infobox. Lear 21 01:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block

Hi Lear 21, you were reported for 3RR violation and I blocked you for 24 hours. Please take this time to study our WP:3RR policy. One important point is that even if your reversions are correct (and I have no position on that), you must still follow the rules. Thank you for understanding, and I hope you resume editing with a better understanding of our reversion rules. Crum375 03:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Lear, would you mind going over this and letting me know if you find a flaw in the 3RR report? Thanks, Crum375 04:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

You blocked my account for 24 hours for false accusations. I did not violate the 3RR (there has been different edits). Instead, I was the one who warned User:Keizuko having already violated 3RR. I did that informally without seeking an official Admin-block intervention. User:Keizuko approached then to the Admins board with unaccurate claims to avoid his blocking. The user never sought once the discussion page for his agenda. You also should have noticed that User:Keizuko is of very short record compared to my established history of edits. I have to ask you for statement on my talk page to clarify the misjudgement and send a reminder to User:Keizuko concerning his uncivil behaviour. all the best Lear 21 04:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Lear, would you mind taking a look at this 3RR report? I have no opinion in your dispute with anyone else at this point, I am simply trying to follow our WP:3RR policy. As you can see in that report, there are clearly 4 reverts in less than 24 hours made by you to that article. If I am missing something, and my simple observation is wrong, please let me know. Many thanks, Crum375 20:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hr wiki

although i agree Germany should appear on main page and it will, i don't see the importance of that information on croatian wikipedia. cheers, West Brom 4ever 11:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Germany revert

It looks like your revert on Germany (diff) may have crossed with another user's undo. You might wish to check whether you reverted what you meant to. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
