Thanks for remaining cool and being a model Wikipedian while working on the Nicaragua article. Hopefully we can get it up to to A-Class status soon! I willing to help as much as I can, though I am busy as a bee with other things. I'll do my best though :) JeffreyN 23:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm always glad to see more people interested in Cambodia and Khmer-related articles. First of all, about my comments, I was by no means suggesting that contributors who aren't (or aren't yet) college graduates don't produce valuable content. That couldn't be further from my beliefs. However I was expressing my concerns that, because of the lack of academics who are specialists in the area, the articles here are prone to POV commentary and inaccurate or misleading edits based on propaganda, myth/legend and cultural biases. One doesn't have to be college-educated to be NPOV and contribute verifiable facts. Anyway, my interests in Cambodia are mainly linguistics, history and socio-cultural issues.--William Thweatt ^Talk | ^Contribs 22:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re Template:Nicaragua topics

Hi Amy,

Thanks for fixing up the Nicaragua-related topics template, i had sort of a hard time trying to get it to look passable but you made it perfect. =)

Thanks to you for all the work needed to assemble it; I only added a few touches! It certainly looked more than passable when I happened to wander by.

Moving the flag to the top righthand corner and using the space below it might benefit smaller-sized broswer windows, but I think that can be tricky to achieve with {{Navbox generic}} at present (unless the first group of topics happens to use a few lines). Perhaps, though, {{Navbox generic}} could be edited to make this an option for any template. Any thoughts...? Best wishes, David (talk) 02:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Para Tí, con mucho respeto: un ¡dorado y divino jazmín!

Thank you for the "Pisco Sour" after one of those I felt entirely anew. Now for you something from one of the best poets on the whole earth, one to whom José Santos Chocano would accompany in his lasts minutes right there in Nicaragua and goes like this:

VENUS^{(Dos estrofas)} por Rubén Darío "El Príncipe de los Ingenios" Nicaragüense

En la Tranquila noche mis nostalgias amargas sufría.

En busca de quietud bajé al fresco y callado jardín.

En el oscuro cielo Venus bella temblando lucía,

como incrustrado en ébano un dorado y divino jazmín.

♥

A mi alma enamorada, una reina oriental parecía,

que esperaba a su amante bajo el techo de su camarín,

o que, llevada en hombros, la profunda extension recorría,

triunfante y luminosa, recostada sobre un palanquín.

La amistad es un divino tesoro, pero este "Jazmín" escrito por tu compatriota, es una joya que nunca jamás se marchitará ◙JMK◙

Managua Aug 11 edits

Hi LaNicoya:

I'm not completely clear about the verification rules so I thought I'd just kick this back to you.

I wanted to learn more about the two earthquakes that are said to have destroyed Managua. Once in the 30's and one in 1971. There were some edits on Aug 11th that left some information dangling without its original references. (Please forgive me if I read it incorrectly and am talking to the wrong user)

In the History section, the edits deleted the original references to both earthquakes. (To learn more about the earthquakes was the reason I visited the page). Without the original information, there is now a reference that no longer has it's precedent.

"The city was cleared, however it never returned to its previous state. The earthquake caused many of Managua's residents to find refuge in the outskirts of the city, and for fear of future earthquakes the centre of the city was never entirely rebuilt.but because the earthquake information is deleted, the reference to what it was rebuilt after no longer exists."

This is not meant to be a negative criticism - you seem to be an experienced and valuable contributor to Wikipedia. I very much appreciate all the people who work to maintain this great resource.

Thank you, SFHndymn 03:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets

If disruptive edits continue, you can ask for pages to be protected at WP:RFPP--semi-protection will stop IPs and newly registered accounts from editing an article. That often stops a sockpuppet attack. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not really--page protection will slow down the pace of the disruptive edits because registered accounts can't edit until 4 days after signing up, and it's also pretty easy to identify sock edits most of the time. Of course, the vandalism/disruption has to reach a certain level before admins will protect the page, and I haven't looked at the affected articles to determine if the problems are severe enough. Are there any articles besides Nicaragua that are being affected? --Akhilleus (talk) 03:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chinatowns in Latin America

Hi. First of, Thank you for editing off the extra information on the section. I do agree (partially) that there is excess information for the specific article. "Partially" because I consider that there are not enough references and information on the specific subject of Chinese in Panama to open a new article (IE: I have not seen any history book on Chinese in Panama). In fact I was waiting for someone to add more details with more references to do just that. To justify, much of the information provided on previous posts are debatable politically (Taiwan Biased), thus I tried the best as possible to leave the factual portions of the previous information and add some neutrality. I did leave the political situation, because I consider that the political role was/is important in the shaping of the socio-political-economical situation of Latin American Chinatowns.

I do wonder if you would reconsider adding back facts taken at face value: "Immigrants from Hong Kong and Guangdong province of China make up the majority of Chinese and Asians living in Panama." Mostly ethnic Hakka population anyways... Maybe a suitable change like "Immigrants from the South-east provinces of China make up the majority of Chinese and Asians living in Panama." is required

As to the other information on Politics and Statistics, where would you put them? would you reconsider relocating the information to another existing article? is there such article? Is there a bin where you can put the information meanwhile? <<-- I'm new editing Wikipedia.

My background I've lived in Panama for more than 18 years, the fact above has been lived. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexlamf (talk • contribs) 02:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let me clarify something I had, previous post, read the POV and the OR terms on Wikipedia. And I also know that any user can delete (or tag something with ^{[citation needed]}) if it has no source.

But then we are missing an important point. How can one question the lack of fact of the information, if one cannot find information online (besides Wikipedia) supporting it?

BTW all information (except for the last line posted "debatable" and the population of 200,000) is fact checked. It might not be online, but it is in my elementary school history books. Other facts like the majority of Asians are Southeast Chinese, is proven by the fact that I live in Panama since childhood and most of my acquaintances are of that heritage. (Biased? I belong to both Chinese social groups; Mainland and Taiwan, and participate actively in this community)

Note: If you check the historical of the page, you will see that most if not all the information hidden is from previous posts.

Just wanted to Clarify this, since your response seemed to say that I'm being biased (POV)

On the POV there is quote I think you should notice: "Of course any article can be "unbalanced" because contributors have more knowledge of, or are more interested in, particular aspects of a subject than in other aspects. This is not "wrong", but making such an article more balanced is encouraged. For example, suppose there is an article about highways that is mostly about the US. A German who encounters this should not complain about Americocentrism, but alter the article to approach the subject from a wider perspective: what can be said about highways in general, that applies worldwide? Begin the article with this, and then discuss the specific variations in different countries. "

This is what I was trying to explain to you in the first note, That I was balancing out the facts.

Report at AIV

Hi. I have removed the following report from AIV,

Frank mad (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and I.P. 66.176.219.186 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) are the same person. Both users have contributed to the same articles, vandalizing them repeatedly by removing sourced information and pushing POV. This can be seen in their contributions page. The I.P. has just been blocked for 3 months but the user is now using their user account (Frank mad) to continue vandalizing. Edits pushing POV on White Latin American by deleting the exactly same information by Frank mad [1] and the I.P. [2] [3] are identical. This user will not communicate with other users who have tried to talk to them, including myself. This makes it hard to try to come to a mutual understanding, but in this case erasing info. is considered vandalism. The user and I.P. have been repeatedly warned and told to not remove the info; they still do so, and it is reverted, however, they come back hours later to do it again. I don't know what action should or can take place but this reverting every day has to come to an end. -- LaNicoya •Talk• LaNicoya (talk) 19:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

since the two accounts stopped editing some time previously. If Frank mad starts up again perhaps you should try WP:ANI, since that isn't so time critical (in both senses of the word) and there would be more eyes on the situation. FYI, I suggested that if the ip were Frank mad then the blocking of the ip would serve as an unambiguous warning to the Frank mad account. If someone questions lack of warning you could always take that approach. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the concerns

However, there is no original research on the articles Panama and Economy of Panama. These are facts published by reliable sources. If you are speaking about Extreme Poverty, it is not my research, but just a comparison to a similar examples. Panama in 1999 wasn't a high development country, it had an [[HDI] 799 or less aas I can remember from a shut down source. Now, any country which enters the category will just count extreme poverty, a lame, yet real, example is Costa Rica (guess you have visited it)¡. It has 18% of poor habitants, compared to a higher number, another, more accurate example is Mexico which, as described in the article itself has a high level of relative poverty (similar to Panama, calculated when Mexico was medium developed) compared to today's one, which was calculated the same time but calculated extreme poverty. The development and internationla standards forced Mexico to omit the relative poverty since when a nation reaches a high level of HDI its relative poor population living standards upgrade along with those of standing medium and high class and it turns stronger, High class people become millionaires or elites, while medium class get high class or medium high class (or in the weakest example, stay like that) while relative poor people upgrade to a medium low class and therefore, are not poor anymore, that happened to Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama and standards now make Panama's population less poor by its "considered" part of the population in which just extreme poverty is counted.

Help

Hi I just wanna ask you for some advice, let me explain, recently I have looking for sources for Panama City, I`m working in the Cental America Project, and I have been citing some info, but there is an user that states that some (a few) of my references are wrong, I just cite as sources serious magazines, web pages and newspapers. So I don`t understand why he saids that certain references are wrong, anyway, the real problem is that instead changing the references or erase it, he or she just erase the whole section without care if the info the erase is actually true. I don`t have any problem if someone tell that my references are wrong, but I think that he should not erase the whole section especially if that section is actually kind of large. So I want to ask you if it right to erase a whole section just because some references maybe are wrong (I don`t know why they could be wrong, but if they are i will just look for better references). And if just have time could you check the Panama City references and give you opinior if they are wrong or not. Some refereces are in spanish as for example the City offficial page, but doesn`t mean that it is wrong, true? thanks Nando Cdl (talk) 04:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you modifying the poverty percentage in Panama

As a rule, a country with a high Human Development Index that falls over 0.8 is advanced, not industrialized but advanced only, since these countries have now basically developed, their poverty rate falls to include just Extreme Poverty, this is, again, since most highly developed countries slums and poor rural population have "industrialized" their households and standards of living to comply with that of the country. Since now it is basically "in another league" its poverty is just counted that ones that were in Extreme Poverty.

EN OTRAS PALABRAS, SI UN PAIS ES DE UN ALTO DESARROLLO HUMANO, LA GENTE VA A SER LO MISMO, LOS QUE FUERON CLASE MEDIA SE VUELVEN CLASES MAS ALTAS O AUMENTAN SUS PERTENENCIAS PARA INCLUIR LUJOS MIENTRAS QUE LOS QUE FUERON POBRES ALFIN TIENEN CASA, COMIDA, Y EDUCACIÓN (obvio que mala) PERO ASI ES.

Cocoliras (talk) 15:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See: Poverty threshold to see that Panama's relative poverty is gone by now.

An example, most of what where slums and population earning less than 2100 USD's a day, is considered poor since most Panamanians earn 5000 or more. If you consider the quantity of 2100 several people do earn such and that takes at least 20% of the population another example (do not take as insult) is Nicaragua which earns only 800 USD's, if you compare it to Panama, nearly 70% of the population in Nicaragua would be considered poor. Since Panama compares itself with high developed countries and since it has a very uneven income distribution, Panama, when comparing to (e.g.: Costa Rica) in result Panama's population compared to minimun income of a highly non industrialized country gives Panama an almost undifferenced population, with the fact that most of the population in Panama's urban areas do not live in slums and in most provinces, rural population is even richer since Livestock is sometimes "federalized" and used just for themselves and since Omar Torrijos land redistribution program, most rural population in the provinces are sustainable, but comapring it to the Urban population, the Urban ones would go losing.

I hope I haven't twisted your brain to much, but that is, 20% of the population in Panama compared to high developed countries with the highest income (Panama guides basically from the US) was poor, however, taking what do people earn comapred to lower countries (Costa Rica) we would say, "Oh look at those indigents and look, their capital is a shantytown". Since Panama in the past had much more lower income its poverty was considered like it taking 20 percent since most of the population compared to higher countries of the same category was found to be very inferior to some. And when it ws turn of the weakest to compare, compared to us at the time, looked like crap.

I can start a new one from scratch by translating the article from Spanish, and you are welcome to joint in. The administrator is [User:Kurt Shaped Box]. Then we can add Dr. Picado to the category Nicaraguan-Costa Ricans.

(2) You have beem very active in both the articles about Costa Rica and Economy of Costa Rica, where you undit edits regarding sex tourism. I as commented in the Talk page, I do not think this is an issue to be included or expanded in the country article or economy article of any country. It belongs to the Sex tourism article, where the Costa Rican case is already discussed. Anyway, some weeks ago you undid my edit regarding this sentence "where it already amounts for 10% of the billion dollar tourism industry", which is follow by two references. The first one does not support that content, and I can not open the second one. I search through Google and was able to find the Tico Times article, but you have to pay to read it. So, since your argument for the undo was that proper reference exists, I kindly request to you the sources for that 10% figure, or can you provide an alternate access to the Tico Times article that presumably states that.

Hey, in the Afro Latin American article or section, can you list your source for the change in the Haitian population data. If you do not have a source, can you revert the changes or edit the section to leave out the information. I can look at the World Bank or other external sources (such as the CIA factbook) to see if there are any population breakdowns available that is recent (perhaps five to seven years) that may be useful.

Speedy deletion of Image:Ruben Dario.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Ruben Dario.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Ruben Dario.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. BJ^Talk 12:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Voseo. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Voseo. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:34, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:CMeneses iguanas.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CMeneses iguanas.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. ✗plicit 14:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
