Huggle message
[edit]Hey Seqqis! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers
I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/
Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.
Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 10:02, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Territories of the United States
[edit]Thank you for the info box at Territories of the United States. Can we add the five governors to the leaders, current members of the National Governors Association?
Gov. [1] Lolo Matalasi Moliga, American Samoa
Gov. [2] Eddie Baza Calvo, Guam
Gov. [3] Eloy Inos, Northern Mariana Islands
Gov. [4] Alejandro Javier Garcia Padilla, Puerto Rico
Gov. [5] Kenneth Mapp, U.S. Virgin Islands
Thanks. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 19:43, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
I thought about adding the governors to the infobox, but after I looked at the infobox for the british overseas territories. It seemed to have excluded them, so I didn't think adding the governors was necessary. Seqqis (talk) 19:50, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for considering it. ---- though U.S. territorial governors are elected by the local populace, not appointed by the President (since the latter 20th century) as the Queen still appoints governors of British overseas territories, it may be considered redundant. U.S. territory governors are Republican, Democratic and Independent... TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 10:28, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 5
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of U.S. colonial possessions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Swan Islands. 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.

Thank you for your recent edit on United States
[edit]Thank you for your recent edit on United States. Golbez, our administrator, is opposed to including the territories, which I find unreasonable and unsourced. There is now a mediation which has taken the subject up following an unsuccessful discussion and RfC which you have access to in Archives of Talk:United States, Archive 64 "Area in square miles" and Archive 66 "RFC on scope of the U.S." Mediation is a confidential process, but its results are reported out once the deliberations are concluded. My focus has been on the five major territories with delegate Members of Congress equivalent to DC. But of course all inhabited and uninhabited territories are referenced at Presidential Proclamation [6] and at the statute for Homeland Security definitions (14) [7].
I have developed two dozen sources supporting including the territories as a part of the United States including scholarly and governmental executive, legislative and judicial sources. The principle opposition hinges on the judicial "incorporation" doctrine of the Insular Cases, where the Supreme Court establishes a separate tax regime in the early 20th century, and an interpretation of post-WWII "self-determination" to mean secession whether or not islanders have voted 95% for political union with the U.S. in referendums. I find both grounds of exclusion unpersuasive, as sourced discussion shows. I believe in the ideal of a sourced on-line encyclopedia wp:psts, and that it should expand information available to general readers.
I hope you can stay around for the outcome of the mediation. An eight-to-three Dispute Resolution in Spring 2013 found in favor of including the territories in the introductory sentence in the same way you attempted. But the minority three reverted the addition until the others relented. I revived the discussion in Fall 2014 when another editor raised the issue of the square area of the U.S. Welcome to the fray, but remember the principle of civility, the exchanges are occasionally hot-tempered.

There's what looks like a raft of commercial promotional edits....
[edit]....for what looks like an unremarkable commercial jeep (and Jeep)adaptation for military use at Commando Jeep, and just about anywhere else it would remotely fit. I tried to give the editor the benefit of the doubt, but this really does look like blatant commercial promotion of an essentially unfielded, essentially unremarkable vehicle. The editor is claiming that it is in US military use based on a Reddit page showing one in Afghanistan, which could, of course, be contractors, spies, spooks, special ops("...but I repeat myself"), allies, reporters, non-military government agencies, foreign militaries, foreign governments, NGOs, or the manufacturer themselves, for that matter.Anmccaff (talk) 09:07, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
February 2015
[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:Jeep. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

RE: Mitsubishi
[edit]Adding clutter? Who are you to decide what is clutter? The template describes a full list, including all name variants, of the worldwide lineup. If you want to make such an unnecessary change by your own decision and categorize the current models, do not delete half of what was available. I am adding them back. 99.243.38.30 (talk) 20:39, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- It's about the facts, this is the complete worldwide list of names. None other, none over. None of the four categories go over one line anyways, so clutter is non-existent. You also failed to include important models like the Zinger/Fuzion and the fact that many Pickups are also Vans. I've updated it to your liking, this should not be an issue. 99.243.38.30 (talk) 21:00, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Crimea
[edit]I'm writing to you regarding your recent reversion on Laws regarding child pornography. You said that "Ukraine's laws still apply to Crimea", however they don't. Crimea is de facto a part of Russia and functions by Russian laws not Ukrainian. Yes, the UN recognizes as a part of Ukraine but that doesn't mean that it functions by Ukraine's laws. Please see LGBT rights by country or territory as an example, as well as Ukrainian hryvnia for laws relating to currency and Time in Europe for laws relating to Time. --Leftcry (talk) 23:47, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- de-facto is another word for unofficially which applies to Russia, but doesn't apply to Laws regarding child pornography. de-jure is another word for official, which applies to the article and Ukraine, Ukrainian law still applies to Crimea, even if Crimea has been illegally annexed. Even though, Crimea currently uses Russian laws, its's still legally part of Ukraine as defined by the UN.Seqqis (talk) 00:39, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, but it doesn't use Ukrainian laws. De-facto means "concerning fact" and concerning fact Crimea uses Russian laws. All other pages concerning law, as I have provided, specify that Crimea uses Russian laws. On this article, in the Ukraine part it says "including Crimea" but that's simply not true as those laws do not include Crimea, the Russian ones do. Crimea may be recognized as a legal part of Ukraine by the UN but it doesn't change the fact that Russian laws apply there. --Leftcry (talk) 02:28, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
- I moved this discussion back here just to keep it all together until it's finished, you can either delete it or move it after it's done. --Leftcry (talk) 02:33, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
I just made an entry for this van, and realized that you had added a redlink for the article back in early 2014. About time, huh!? Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:45, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
- Lol, don't know why it took this long for a article about the van to be made. Seqqis (talk) 04:14, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

U.S. lead sentence
[edit]I mentioned your earlier attempt to add modern U.S. territories to the lead sentence at United States on the Talk page, providing a U.S.G. source, backed up by six scholars. Since your effort was blocked, I stumbled on a principle of Wikipedia from the founder, Jimbo Wales. I fear the anachronistic opponents of including islanders are gaming the system. Note:
Jimbo Wales Statement of principles 3. "You can edit this page right now" is a core guiding check on everything that we do. We must respect this principle as sacred. I regret that I did not immediately support your effort earlier at the time of your copyedit. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 14:58, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Mitsubishi template
[edit]I'd like to ask that you stop removing the links on the Mitsubishi template as they serve a purpose. They aren't causing any harm, don't look like "clutter", and provide a complete list of every model and model variant ever sold. When you remove these, it completely destroys that. I can understand that you want it to look nicer, but I think myself and many others would agree that completeness it much better. Besides, other templates like the Dodge, Toyota and Chrysler templates all include some model variants as well.
At this point it's just getting silly. GG360 (talk) 01:05, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

France
[edit]Your recent editing history at France shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
