Luxembourg renaming

Hi Bastin8

Given the recent renaming of the Luxembourgian material, you might wish to take a look at {{Luxembourgish Grand Ducal Family}} and the entries in Category:Luxembourg navigational boxes. Regards. Valentinian ^{T / C} 12:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Gandhi's views on race

Dear Bastin ,

As you might know... the Gandhi race article has been deleted. I have put Gandhi's views on race for Deletion Review. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_April_5

Please help. Teabing-Leigh 06:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

List of Northern Irish flags

If you dont understand the dirrerence between the representative county and the legal county then please stop editing this page.

As I said, it has also been pointed out before the counties listed are not stated and the legal place that they are from it denotes the GAA or (CEE in music) region they are representing - i.e. if you won the Dublin Fleadh it would not show you legal county of residence such as County Fingal, County Rathdown-Dun Laor etc but the representive county Fleadh, in that case the County Dublin Fleadh - same goes for Tipperary and Derry. Its like saying that the articles Londonderry Port, Londonderry Sentinel Foyle and Londonderry College and Londonderry railway station should all be renamed to Derry as they as situated within the city, of course they shouldnt because they are not using they name in any legal sense

Luxembourgian general strike of 1942

Thank you for your edits! I hope the British spelling will stick... Scotchorama 15:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Bastin8: Please refrain from being ignorant about this

Let us discuss this reasonably. That is what I want. I hope that you do as well. If not, we shall go to the Arbitration Committee.

Realm of Great Britain, Kingdom of Great Britain, United Kingdom of Great Britain?

Bastin8, you advocate that the long form name mentioned several times in the Act of Union 1707 of the United Kingdom of Great Britain is in fact NOT the countrys' name. You (and jtdirl) advocate that the proper long form name is instead just the Kingdom of Great Britain. Your rational is based on,

(i). ignoring (selectively) the capitalisation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, making it

united Kingdom of Great Britain, well why not this

united kingdom of Great Britain then?

(ii). quoting the phrase this Kingdom of Great Britain, well it could be just,

this kingdom of Great Britain right?

(iii). lastly the term this Realm of Great Britain occurs quite frequently as well, and could be,

this realm of Great Britain as well.

Thus, your whole arguement for the long form name being the Kingdom of Great Britain is seriously flawed.

What defense do you have?

I had noticed it before by accident- although I did not take it seriously. It is so ridiculous a claim that it isn't even worth responding to. Astrotrain 15:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Franco-Spanish War (1653)

This article was created because you wanted it divided off Fronde. I noticed that you didn't add any content to it. Please don't cut up articles unless you have a great deal to add to the fragments. Fragmentation is not encyclopedic. --Wetman 06:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. I created a redirect and only proposed a split. You were the one that then fragmented it by changing that article from a redirect by carelessly copying and pasting. Only the intervention of Carl Logan than spared the article from said 'fragmentation'. The material from which one's house is built should matter when casting stones. Bastin 15:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Alternative Democratic Reform Party logo.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Alternative Democratic Reform Party logo.PNG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 17:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hollerich railway station

Hello Bastin,

Do you have the street address for this railway station? I wonder whether this isn't actually the one I know as Gasperich railway station (also known as Zwickau), in which case it might be worthwhile to add it's history (WWII deportations, it even has a small monument/memorial). Right now I can't recall what street that station lies on to be certain (the railway itself is the separation line between Hollerich and Gasperich).--Caranorn 12:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I passed the station today on a bus and took a quick look. It's indeed officially the Hollerich station. I will see whether I can find some material about the Mémorial de la Déportation to add to the Hollerich article, maybe I'll even shoot a photo if there is anything notable to be seen. And yes, the Zwickau could very well be the marshaling yard only.--Caranorn 18:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Commonwealth Family

Just a note per my questioning of "Commonwealth Family" earlier today - I had never heard that term before, but, coincidentally, not 10 minutes after I removed that red link I came across the Commonwealth Family on the Commonwealth Secretariat website as I was looking for information on the Commonwealth Realms. I guess you learn something new every day; especially at Wikipedia! --G2bambino 20:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
