Monarchist/Royalist

They are effectively the same thing, but a monarchist simply belives in the monarchy system, a royalist belives a certain person should be running things.

As an example:

Monarchist: I think we should have someone in charge and running things.

Royalist: I think John Smith should be in charge and running things.

A Royalist is effectively just a more specific Monarchist. HalfShadow 03:38, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's one way of looking at it. But if you look up Merriam-Webster, it simply directs you to the entry on monarchism [1]. American Heritage also agrees [2], as does Oxford [3]. The consensus seems to be that it is fully synonymous with "monarchism," with the latter definition being secondary or a rather uncommon usage. IranianGuy (talk) 04:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Canada page

Thanks for the bold editing. I think the wording better reflects what's in the sources. I tweaked your contribution a little. I thought that both sides should be presented in a balanced way.

I orignally thought that this was a somewhat esoteric point, put in the early days of a minority government it could become important awfully quickly.

Please leave a few comments on the talk page. I'd like your contribution to stick and documenting your rationale helps build consensus. --soulscanner (talk) 21:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We're rewriting the whole section, and will probably be moving the King-Byng thing to the Government of Canada page where we'll expand on it. You're welcome to help with or comment on the rewriting. It will add to whatever consensus we come up with. --soulscanner (talk) 05:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1953 coup

You raised a question as to Incoherency of arguments. My answers are on that talk page. Skywriter (talk) 02:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1953 Iranian coup

Asking for help. I thought the article was making some progress on non-controversial areas but it was only because Kurdo777 had taken a break. Do you have any recommendations? --BoogaLouie (talk) 22:02, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dorood

ON Layli o Majnun or Khosrow o Shirin,.. you simply have to revert the ips and possibly report them to admins. Thanks--Khodabandeh14 (talk) 02:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hojjatieh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Traditionalism (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

October 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Jona Lendering may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 15:02, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lendering

You need to read WP:BLP. Sources must unambiguously meet our criteria at WP:RS for anything controversial. The magazine you linked did not, and claims that Lendering is anti-Semitic need solid sources. Dougweller (talk) 16:20, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kaveh Farrokh

Kaveh and I are friends, at least via email, but you went a bit overboard here. See my edit summaries. We don't even call David Irving a historian. I've tried to make it clear that the vituperative (or whatever word was used) responses weren't by Farrokh. His fulltime job is a college counselor, as you know - a bit of lecturing doesn't actually make you an academic. Lots of people do part time lecturing in subjects they know a lot about, but that doesn't make them academics. Dougweller (talk) 16:32, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
