Estonia is now a full member of the OECD. This map should reflect that. Just letting you know in case you feel like updating it. Cheers. Pristino ( talk) 02:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I see your point about the cook is., but you didnt respond about the american "colony" election from nov 7. I removed them to the local as its not a state by any stretch. are you okay with it?( Lihaas ( talk) 17:15, 21 December 2010 (UTC)).
I know that in the past there were multiple discussion about whether the EU should be mentioned (with an — instead of number) in "List of countries by GDP/area/population" and in other similar cases (infoboxes, templates, etc.) that deal with states, territories, etc. The arguments against that I remember were mostly around "EU is not a country/state" and "If we list EU, then we should list AU and other organizations" (referring to continental unions or trade blocs or international organizations in general).
Recently I had some related discussions ( point 2 here, here) and also the related issue here about the "total number of entities conducting diplomatic relations/recognition".
Basically here I tried to summarize the arguments in favor of listing it (and setting a criteria for listing other organizations/unions).
I write to you, because I think that this issue should be addressed at some central place - for all lists/rankings, so that we don't have to go over the same discussion separately at each place. Could you arrange such discussion or point me where to raise the issue? Alinor ( talk) 10:28, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Template:People's Republic of China elections has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. Mhiji ( talk) 14:25, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Dear Nightstallion, after more than three months with no answer (see Talk:Democracy Is Freedom – The Daisy#Article move), could we (in fact, you) move the article to its previous (and correct) title, Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy? -- Checco ( talk) 17:30, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

as a common political editor, youre welcome and encourages to express your view on the page.( Lihaas ( talk) 08:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)).
The article Qatari legislative election, 2013 is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qatari legislative election, 2013 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Rob ( talk) 11:08, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Just got your message now, thank you. Will keep you posted. Gryffindor ( talk) 22:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Hey Nightstallion. I think your paragraphs around secession etc. may need updating/editing:
"Southern Sudan is allowed to hold a referendum on independence from Sudan in 2011, according to the Comprehensive Peace Treaty signed on 9 January 2005. Simultaneously, status referenda will be held. These include Abyei (North Kurdufan-Northern Sudan with special administrative status or North Bahr el Ghazal-Southern Sudan), South Kurdufan (join Northern Sudan or Southern Sudan) and Blue Nile (join Northern Sudan or Southern Sudan). (cf. Image:Regions of Sudan.png)"

i agree with you completely. the egypt one was unilaterally moved by someone to what tickles his fancy even though most agreed tro revolution but not the proper noun one he chose.
although, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS also negates the similarity. Lihaas ( talk) 18:00, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
as an aside, are you updating referendums too? im just about to go through the swioss one. can we nominate for ITN then? Lihaas ( talk) 18:01, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey. I noticed in your notes section a red-link to Freedom (Great Repeal) Bill. If I get my guess right, this is a link to Protection of Freedoms Bill that I have just created :) doktorb words deeds 09:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

It should be changed to a tricolor with the bands of equal width, and a 3:5 ratio to better reflect the makeshift flags being flown, also nearly every flag hoisted have crudely drawn crescents and stars including the massive one raised in Benghazi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.169.239 ( talk) 11:44, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your moving Tunisian revolution to Tunisian Revolution. Please also move Talk:Tunisian revolution to Talk:Tunisian Revolution. Thanks. -- Pengyanan ( talk) 17:19, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, the article International Criminal Court has been suggested to me by an IP editor for GA reassessment. Since you are one of the editors listed as actively involved in it, you might be interested in the Discussion.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 23:25, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Nightstallion! I think, that it's interesting for you: [1] CrazyRepublican ( talk) 23:56, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey Nightstallion, hope you are well. I have created Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies in an attempt to follow all four Boundary Commissions as they do their duties. I think you've a link for this at your Notes page but if not, and you want it, here it is :) doktorb words deeds 10:27, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
It looks like the situation is just like in Fallujah or Vukovar where most of the fighting will be over, but sporadic pockets of resistance will still put up a fight for another few weeks before they are all cleared. EkoGraf ( talk) 23:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
What do you suggest we do? Since it looks like Gaddafi may retake Ras Lanuf in a day or so and there has been fighting there for the last four days, should we create an article named Second battle of Ras Lanuf or should we reopen the old one and say when the rebels took it it was phase one and now, two days later, it's phase two? EkoGraf ( talk) 17:10, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Given the Dalai Lama's announcement to rescind his authority soon, I also stumbled upon these websites talking about a new PM in 10 days. I wondered if you new anything more about it. Therequiembellishere ( talk) 21:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Nightstallion,
I hope life is treating you well and that you have a prosperous 2011. Thanks — Amakuru ( talk) 23:45, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Could you also move Battle of Brega to First Battle of Brega, since I created Second Battle of Brega today? Unlike Ra's Lanuf where it was only one day between phases these two battles don't warrant to be in the same article since it was 11 days between the two different battles or phases. EkoGraf ( talk) 01:17, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Forget it, no problem, Lothar von Richthofen moved it himself. :) EkoGraf ( talk) 05:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Nightstallion. Since January, User:Enok has made huge changes to the Padania article. Some were good, others were not accepted by other users (at least four: Filippo83, Keith 64, Dans and I, plus one or two IP users). We had a long time appeasing Enok and accepting his advices, as the article's history and the talk testify. For some strange reason he continues to remove the material he doesn't like from the article. Filippo83 and I started to rollback him, but nobody of us wants an edit war. Keith 64 showed up in talk page to urge him to stop. In the last case Enok removed opinion polls and the Padanian flag proposed by Lega Nord. I rollbacked him, but things can't go on like this. The discussion is too long and I don't want you to read it all, but can you show up and calm down Enok? -- Checco ( talk) 04:41, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
In contrast, I am very strongly against stating it - I think it makes the templates look odd. The reason I have always included them without a note is because in almost every case I know about the Constituent Assembly acted as a parliament once elected. Nevertheless, if they are to be marked, perhaps using an asterix and the |below bar would be a nicer solution? Number 5 7 20:24, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, My name is Natalia Olaru and I am a final year master student in the Corporate Communication programme at the Aarhus School of Business in Denmark. I am currently working on my final paper on the topic of the motivation of users to create content on collaborative media websites, the focus being Wikipedia. As a sample I chose the English and Danish portals. I would like to invite you for an online interview on the topic of what motivates you, as a user, to participate in editing and creating articles for this platform. Your real identity, and wikipedia account will be kept confidential through the paper. I plan on doing the actual interviews in the period between 6st and the 15th of May via Skype, MSN, Google Talk or Yahoo Messenger. I am, however, open to other channels of communication too. Please let me know if you would like to participate in this interview and the preferred channel. Thank you, Natalia Olaru Email: natalia.ioana.olaru@gmail.com -- MulgaEscu ( talk) 12:36, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

This message is being sent to you because you have previously edited the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) page. There is currently a discussion that may result in a significant change to Wikipedia policy. Specifically, a consensus is being sought on if the policies of WP:UCN and WP:EN continues to be working policies for naming biographical articles, or if such policies have been replaced by a new status quo. This discussion is on-going at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English), and your comments would be appreciated. Dolovis ( talk) 17:01, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
Whats with all these stub election 1-line articles (most of which stay that till the addition of results) we need to expand it on content not the 1 election article. Im willing to help if you are. Know anyone else on wikipedia with broad electoral intersts as us not limited to parts of the world? Anwyays, at the moment im trying to expand the Cypriot legislative election, 2011 (general) article due imminently. we need issues and parties. You post the parties, ill do the issues? (and background if need be)( Lihaas ( talk) 02:50, 21 May 2011 (UTC)).
I'm not quite sure what you mean? Yes, I'd love to have all of these articles expanded beyond the "will take place on" and the adding of results afterwards, but my time is limited... What do you mean by "srt"? And let's just say I don't agree that Abkhazia&South Ossetia are the same situation as Kosovo. — Nightstallion 12:29, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

As you were involved in the previous discussion about naming of the articles on Template talk:Yugoslavian elections, you should be aware that there is a new proposal on Talk:Yugoslavian parliamentary election, May 1992. Cheers, Number 5 7 17:48, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Also can you check on the infobox? the parties dont work, so i hid them. Lihaas ( talk) 06:47, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
