Photos

Please note that photos are filed in image categories, not article categories. A photo of a village in Scotland does not, for example, go into Category:Villages or Category:Scotland; a photo of a shopping mall does not go in Category:Retailers; a photo of a river in England does not go in Category:Rivers; a photo does not go in the category for the year in which you happened to take it; and on, and so forth — photos belong only in categories that begin with the word "Images" (e.g. Category:Images of Scotland, Category:Images of Oxfordshire, etc.) Thanks.

Over-population chart test

Many of the world's countries, including many in Africa and South East Asia, have seen a sharp rise in population since the end of the Cold War. The fear is that high population numbers are putting further strain on natural resources, food supplies, fuel supplies, employment, housing, etc.; in some the less fortunate countries. The population of Chad has, for example, ultimately grown from 6,279,921 1993 to 10,329,208 in 2009,[1] further straining its resources. Nigeria, Egypt and Ethiopia are witnessing a similar growth in population, strained resources and a possible over-population problem in the near future.

The situation was most acute in northern, western and cantral Africa. Refugees from places like the Sudan have helped further strain the resources of neighboring states like the Chad and Egypt. The nation is also host to roughly 255,000 refugees from Sudan’s Darfur region, and about 77,000 refugees from the Central African Republic, whilst approximately 188,000 Chadians have been displaced by their own civil war and famines, have either fled to either the Sudan, the Niger or, more recently, Libya.[2][3][4] The population of Chad has grown from 6,279,921 1993 to 10,329,208 in 2009,[1] further straining resources.

I've had to change some of your additions here.

Nice to see the updated map. In case it was missed, I was not the person who removed it from International reactions to the 2011 Libyan protests, and I do believe it would be fitting for that article. Nevertheless, I also see the point in getting some sources to back it up. Unfortunately, today I simply do not have the time. Regardless, keep up the good work. Cheers, 62.107.209.191 (talk) 14:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Ah excellent! All bases are covered for now then. I am watching it btw, so you didn't need to leave a message. Thank you for taking the time to do so though. =) Keep a version with US in red btw, looks like we are about to sever ties. TheArchaeologist Say Herro 22:24, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

References

You are doing a good job updating the 2011 Libyan uprising article, but before you add a reference, could you check it isn't already present in the article? Most browsers you can do Ctrl+F with the edit window open and search for the URL. For example, here you added a ref that was already present, instead you can just cite the reference name as I did. This avoids problems down the line with duplicate references and ref names, which can lead to the wrong source being cited. Thanks! --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello! You recently made an edit with a large number of reference links in the 2011 Libyan uprising article, but all of those links were obfuscated by replacing "http:" with "-:". When I tried to repair these links, it was clear that at least one of them was from a website that was on Wikipedia's spam filter list.

In addition, all of these links were adjacent to one another, making it impossible to know which reference supported which assertion.

In future, could you please add references following the specific assertions that they support, and add them one by one, instead of en bloc? If a link is blocked by the spam filter, instead of obfuscating it, please do not add it at all.

Thanks! -- Chronulator (talk) 21:00, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
