Comment[edit]
Ulmanis was never a legitimate president so this misinformation removed
[edit]
Today I have removed unrelated text, infobox, wikilinks and categories from this article. The current article was moved from List of Presidents of Latvia and was appropriate to that article. Philaweb T-C 13:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I have requested a rollback of this article to the latest version when the title was List of Presidents of Latvia. The content of List of Presidents of Latvia focuses on the Republic of Latvia and heads of states of other entities does not belong in that article. I strongly recommend user Ivan Bogdanov to create List of Heads of State of Latvia as a seperate article. Philaweb T 13:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Rollback seems to be the wrong procedure for the my request. Therefore I am adding another request to this talk page. Philaweb T 14:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Move article back to List of Presidents of Latvia[edit]

The content of List of Presidents of Latvia focuses on the Republic of Latvia and heads of states of other entities does not belong in that article. I strongly recommend user Ivan Bogdanov to create List of Heads of State of Latvia as a separate article. Philaweb T 14:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Are you saying this should be two articles, List of Presidents, as it was before it was moved, and Lists of Heads of State, with the current content? Sarah 14:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Exactly. I was working on a rephrase during the time you posted an answer. This is my rephrase:
- This article should be moved back to List of Presidents of Latvia and be restored as this version which focuses on the Republic of Latvia. Heads of states of other entities does not belong in that article. I strongly recommend List of Heads of State of Latvia to be created as a separate article. Philaweb T 14:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Okay Phil, I think I understand your position. I have to go offline in a minute, but I should be back in about 30-60 minutes, at which time I am going to do as follows:
- Move the article back to its old location, "List of Presidents of Latvia".
- Delete this article.
- Selectively restore the edits made since it was renamed "List of Heads of State of Latvia", i.e. the "new" article by Ivan.
- Move the restored edits to current location, "List of Heads of State of Latvia".
- Restore remaining deleted edits at "List of Presidents of Latvia"
- That should then give us two totally separate articles with appropriate, distinct and coresponding article histories. Does that sound like the right solution to you, Phil? Sorry for listing it out like that but it's rather complicated process and I just needto set it out in my own mind. If I sort out this issue, would you please explain the situation with Ivan, so he knows what's going on and why because he looks new and I don't want to have to do this again. Thanks Phil.

- Your listed procedure is what I am looking for. I have posted to Ivan's talkpage and given a link to this talkpage. Unfortunately, there are no previous records of him being ready or willing to communicate. Philaweb T 11:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have posted a 3-revert rule warning to the Ivan Bogdanov talkpage for this reversion. Philaweb T 16:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have posted a second 3-revert rule warning to the Ivan Bogdanov talkpage for this reversion. Philaweb T 18:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed sections[edit]
How can anyone be "head of state" of entities that either did not exist or was incorporated into another state? Latvian Socialist Soviet Republic, Republic of Latvia in Exile and Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic never were states. Philaweb T 11:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, Phil, does my suggestion above sound right to you or should it not be called "List of Heads of State of Latvia"? I'm going to hold off doing as I outlined above until we're sure about this because I don't want to end up msking things even worse. Sarah 11:47, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- See my response above. After you have restored both articles, this section is valid with the List of Heads of State of Latvia article. Philaweb T 11:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Split[edit]
As this article bounds several unrelated offices together, I suggest that it is split in several articles - List of First secretaries of the Latvian SSR, Republic of Latvia in Exile and List of Speakers of the Latvian parliament ~~Xil...sist! 07:59, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
