Federacy & Assymmetric Federalism

Hi I've noticed that you have readded the information about assymmetric federations to the federacy article. I don't think it fits there because the article discusses federacies not assymmetric federations. Maybe we can set up an article about assymmetric federations and try to include as many examples there, instead of on the federacy article. C mon 11:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last names

Yes, I know people should be sorted by last names, and that's fine for regular categories. However, for stub categories, it's more hassle than it's worth. In theory, the stub tag shouldn't be on the article for very long, so it shouldn't matter how they're sorted. Also, having the names in a parameter causes problems for bots (or people using WP:AWB) to easily do a find/replace when renaming stub templates. There's some discussions here and here that talk about it some. Let me know if you have any more questions. Have a great day and happy editing! ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 13:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, please do not remove {{sfd-c}} from categories unless it was deemed to be kept. Similarly, do not remove things from the "to delete" section of WP:SFD after consensus was finalized. If you didn't want the category to be deleted, perhaps you should have voiced your opinion before the 7 day review period was over. If you had read carefully, the decision was to "upmerge" which means that the template will be kept, but the category will now be that of its parent (Category:Chinese sportspeople stubs in this case). I also left a note on the category's talk page as well. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 13:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was tie. And the two votes for upmerge were split between Asian and Chinese. Passer-by 18:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

2006 Asian Games

Please do not add any question mark to an article. For sure Wikipedia:Verifiability is not allow any unveriafiable collection of information such as question mark. All information must be true and non invite any speculation. The sentence already covered the first round vote and should be no questions mark. The other also about the table , Wikipedia:When to use tables, the simple information should do in simple formatting. Mean the table should be avoid. Please not violate again. Thank you. --Aleen f1 16:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Table is better to convey complex information. Passer-by 19:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't simply to use the "References" to defend your editing, Wikipedia can make difference, no need to follow ALL what the sources mentioned, "don't simply revert" i don't think you should said this to me, i haven't see you make any dicussion in talk page as other did. I don't care you hate me, but all thing must be claim with same point.
The route revealed is 8 former Asian Games host countries, if Macau and Hong Kong is not under China, they not include in this route, plus 4 GCC alliance, 4 + 8 = 12 + host = 13, then it come with difference sentences said 15, that is confusion. Please raised WHY in talk page, and have a discussion. Thank you --Aleen f1 05:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When there is a dispute, follow the sources, and tell readers the information were taken from the referenced sources. That is the only way all people can get out of the dispute. Passer-by 14:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

SEZ Template

That is true, but having separate SEZ articles for each of the original four is superfluous and can be confusing. If you so wish you could merge the articles together and then say they are separate from the city limits. Colipon+(T) 23:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is more confusing to have one article for each SEZ and the city it is located. Passer-by 14:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Asian Newspaper Focus

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Asian Newspaper Focus, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of Hong Kong Parliament Electoral organising committee

Hello, Passer-by

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hong Kong Parliament Electoral organising committee for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
