7121:, it's rare to see somebody writing such a carefully written article on Chad-related articles. Coming to Faya, unfortunately, things are not so simple. To start with, the Britannica article is blatantly wrong: the Britannica article says it was called Largeau till the 1970s (correct) and then renamed Faya (absolutely wrong; for all the Chadian Civil War (1966-1993) the town was called Faya-Largeau, and this is confirmed by literally tons of sources - the town was very important in this period). Regarding the official name as adopted today by the government, that could solve the name issue once and for all, unfortunately Chadian official sites seem very confused: sometimes they just say Faya (as you noted), but in other occasions use Faya-Largeau ( 6116:

comments such as "Barely...". Multitagging an article with belligerent comments is inappropriate and clearly uncivil behaviour. If you have a concern worthy of a tag, be certain it is also worthy of a detailed discription of your concerns in the talk page. If you are unwilling to spend proper and due time to address the problem at hand, then do not tag it. As for the sentence in question it is a quote of a corporate information release from the company itself and as such is accurate and irrefutable. You obviously have some rather deep seeded issues regarding corporate articles, there are many other articles out there in far worse shape, once again list your concerns if you have them, but dont waste time on beligerence.--

newly constructed as such please give sufficiant time for information to be added. Multi tagging an article in a belligerant manner is not acceptable behaviour. Let us maintain a note of civility towards fellow editors rather than thrashing out deconstructive criticism for whatever motivation may have possessed you to do so. As shopping centers are landmarks it is in keeping with all other articles about such centers. In future, please remember wikipedias golden rule that we should all "Assume good faith" in our fellow editors motivations.--

believes that araucanas come from Asia directly. Rather he and his colleagues examined their mitochondrial DNA and found some evidence that it may be true. He does, however, indicate that there has been much speculation that araucanas do come directly from Asia. And in fact there has been--and for some time. (The standard reason for the speculation is that Europeans were surprised to find chickens in South America before they really had enough time to propagate through the Americas from a European introduction.)

2483:, but, as a rule of thumb, creating an article about another Wikipedian shouldn't be done. In your message on the talk page, you mentioned that he spoke at the Wikimedia Conference as your assertion of notability; we certainly don't have articles on every person who has ever spoken at a conference, nor are we going to. So we shouldn't have them on otherwise non-notable Wikipedians. I hope this explains why the article will probably be deleted shortly, if it hasn't been already. Happy editing, 3585: 1511: 70:. Based on your knowledgeable edits and contributions (and your username), I assume you know quite a bit about the series and/or about the Roman Empire. I'm wondering what your opinion is about when to use the praenomen, nomen, and cognomen (or whatever they are) in Knowledge articles and about how to abbreviate the three names. Please reply on my talk page, and/or make appropriate edits on the pages in question. Thanks again. 3325: 2105: 5667: 3657: 1716: 3866:.) If you want a source for the international opinion regarding the conflict is in favor of the SADR's claim, you can see several source on the page linked above. It is the case that international opinion is on their side in asmuch as among the states that have a position, it is to support the SADR. So, for instance, it is true and proper to say that international opinion is in favor of the 4724:, and offering a question. As a followup, unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. I did, however, find the discussion valuable, and a useful tool to understand how I am perceived by others in the Knowledge community. If there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. -- 6633: 6603: 6262:, but eliminating whitespace is such a minor issue that it almost seems like a waste of time to use the template on the talk page (in fact, the only reason I cared about it at all is not because of the aesthetic purposes, but because I kept blinking whenever I scrolled by it.) I'll cross post this beginning of a discussion momentarily. 4399:, but the problem seems to come when two editors are quick to act (which is a good thing!). Since VP2 is still in early developement, there is no way to "shut off" the 'edit I have made' function and/or check to see if someone has reverted at the same time as me. This isn't the first time this has happened (once or twice with 2118:. I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! 6389:. If you view it one way, they are all being inappropriately used, but if you think less literally and more broadly, all those images are appropriately used, because the page is talking about the characters of the animated series the pic comes from.

Hi, thank you for editing a bit my addition to the Chicken article on Araucanas. However, there is a problem with one of your edits. J.

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

I've looked over the three articles the image appears in. The one about the character, Grimlock, is appropriately used, and the one about "Dinobots" is borderline. While the section isn't specifically talking about the character in question, he is an example of what is referred to as a "Dinobot." So

After I voted oppose, I checked the user's history out of curiosity. I later found that he has done almost nothing to contribute to the encyclopedia, possibly even hurt it by making some articles unencyclopedic.

Okay, that's fine. We can probably squeeze it in there later today or something. Some of the DYK's have already expired, but we can give some lax to DYK's that are 1 or 2 days overdue.

I had thought about how large my sig is in wikitext. I have been throwing around other sigs and asking other users what their concensus is about signatures. Thank you for bringing it up.

It was a very interesting and well-written article, so of course I found myself needing to support it (even though I don't usually take part in the featured article discussions). And, according to the edit history, I should thank you for working so hard on it. It taught me something about World War

My suggestion is that you stay away from that kind of thing unless absolutely necessary (IE if you feel the situation would be helped by reminding people of the rules). If you really have to, either simply remind people of the rules, or caution them - but never "warn", as this can escalate into an

Adriaan, I really never meant to hurt your feelings with my oppose. I admit, It probably wasn't necessary to have made it an entry in the oppose column, and instead should have directed it towards you on this talkpage. But I am not trying to "weasel my way out" of it. I stand by my comment, and I

For this article, I think the choice of praenomen/nomen gentile/cognomen is basically decided by the authors of the textbooks and/or previous scholars/writers. These names (e.g. Quintus, Caecilius, Cogidubnus, Salvius) are the ones being used in the article's body. Other names may be given on the

Alright, I see your point; I made the incorrect assumption that he was one of those who support the viewpoint. I've now read the relevant section, (A443 for future reference,) which shows, as you said, that although he and the other authors acknowledges that some support this view, that there is

Sorry for incorrectly adding the template on the Sadddam execution article. I have sometimes in the past seen it on talk pages, but also on main articles. I guess these were incorrectly used as well and I didn't check up the proper usage as well as I could have. Anyway, I'm on the clear now how

On the article for Western Sahara, it was decided that said page was only going to discuss the geographic region. The portal, by its very nature, discusses all manner of topics related to the territory (politics being preeminent.) I do oppose removing the flag; why would you? There are no other

Oh please. Stop trying to play stupid. You know as well as I do that all of those comments were supposed to hurt my feelings. You attack was even more harsh than my so-called attack that the person was being racist. I in fact only notified him of my objection to his racism. But you, you're just

I'm sorry about that - it never really occured to me that something like that was actually considered to be a comment as much as it was a note about the closing (which, as I viewed them, are usually not even user specific enough to even warrant a signature.) But your point is noted.

Nope, not really. If I was to !vote, It would most certainly be in the neutral section, but it wouldn't accomplish much at this point. Seeing as my thoughts and opinions on the rfa are stated several times over on the page, I just don't think it would be very helpful to say

Morocco claims the report is biased and unfactual. So, should both positions be given equal attention and credibility? No. Both should be presented, but not with an undue "balance" toward the minority position which is clearly in their interests to promote. For instance,

It appeared that there was even more vandalism that was missed, so I just reverted back to the last AntiVandalBot edit because there didn't appear to be any legitimate edits since then. That should take care of it. Man...that vandal is committed. :)
