War aims

Hi there! The term the "war aims" of a government is a common expression in English. If you type "war aims" into google you will see 4,150,000 results! The war aims of Hitler, etc etc. One of the first results is a book called "War Aims in the Second World War: The War Aims of the Key Belligerents 1939-1945" sold in the USA.

Nevertheless I'm happy with belligerent, and it is also a common term, so let's leave it at that.

I'm currently looking at notable citations which are needed for this para - shouldn't be difficult as they are all bone fide facts. Andy Andysoh (talk) 23:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviving Libertarianism (disambiguation)

Per this discussion - User_talk:MrKIA11#Deletion_of_Libertarianism_disambiguation_without_fair_warning - he said I should mention reviving this and adding Libertarian socialism if it wasn't there already. Please read thread and reply there. Thanks. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Minarchism merger

Good call on this one. I suggest you redirect all the discussions to a village pump section, to deal with this issue collectively, otherwise there will be discussions scattered all over. --JokerXtreme (talk) 13:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, I did:Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Merger_proposal_:_Minarchism. --JokerXtreme (talk) 11:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Sorry about that earlier comment, I was a bit brash. Actually, I most appreciate the majority of your edits to the article The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power. I also appreciate the polite and kind demeanor in which you have conducted yourself. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 20:20, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copylinks

It is probably okay and "in good faith" to discuss sources and leave the links on the talk page, for purposes of proposing referencing, etc. Not as big a deal as, say, leaving those links up active to be displayed, in main-article-space. -- Cirt (talk) 02:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm not trying to get myself in trouble or anything, I'm just gonna slap the issue on a noticeboard and forget about it. I expect they'll just delete the intermediate revisions that contain the links. MutantPlatypus (talk) 02:39, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Really, no need to go that far. You've probably done more than enough already by just removing the links. -- Cirt (talk) 02:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Too late. Well, the most harm it could do is waste 2 minutes of an admin's time, and 5 minutes of mine. MutantPlatypus (talk) 02:43, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, -- Cirt (talk) 03:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC

lawls, the things that are notable enough for Wikipedia... Double lawls: I just realized you're an admin. MutantPlatypus (talk) 00:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, thanks, I guess. -- Cirt (talk) 00:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for LOLling the cat properly. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:52, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Confused about an edit to Ludlow Massacre

Hi, i wonder if you could explain the {{rp|42}} in this edit to Ludlow Massacre?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludlow_Massacre&action=historysubmit&diff=350164222&oldid=350161306

I don't know what it represents, and i think it may cause confusion to readers. thanks, Richard Myers (talk) 03:02, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If I remember right, it cited the specific page of the source in which the information was found.

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.
