Niue and Cook Islands
Could you please take a look at the talk page on the List of sovereign states page before you add those two locations to the previous lists of Sovereign states. I do not see why Cook Islands and niue are being are being added, they are NOT sovereign states. BritishWatcher (talk) 18:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Commonwealth of Nations membership criteria
You've added a reference in support of the Philippines being eligible for membership of the Commonwealth. I don't have a copy to hand (because all the academic libraries in London have closed down for Christmas: bloody students...), so I can't find out what it says myself. However, It is worth asking what the source says. What has to be proven is that the brief occupation during the Seven Years' War qualifies the Philippines for membership of the Commonwealth - not merely that it was formally surrendered or otherwise. As such, could you please provide the quote in question (using the 'quote' field in cite book)? That would make it a lot easier (well, for me!), until at least I can grab a copy of the book. Thanks!

2008
Is there any reason I shouldn't revert your cosmetic changes to 2008, which don't seem to improve the article (at least on my browser). I realize you've gone to a lot of work, but it's not better.

Perhaps you could explain what you're doing. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:31, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It appears someone else already reverted your edits. Please do not reinsert them without discussion.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 21:47, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You've managed to misalign the images (and calendars) so that they're not near the month headers. I was willing to let you complete your work before deciding whether those errors were recoverable, but another editor wasn't.  Please discuss your edits at Talk:2008 and get consensus before re-inserting them.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 22:38, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Revolts under Spanish rule
Since you do not know me, your personal attack was childish.

I am only interested in historical accuracy. I am hoping you can contribute more information on the revolts under 400 years of Spanish rule. How many Filipinos died during those revolts?

You say that the violence of the Philippine-American war continued until 1913. Do you have supporting documentation? You also claim that a million Filipinos lost their lives during this time. How many died before 1902 (when the U.S. declared the revolt over), and how many then died between 1903 and 1913? This is important in establishing whether or not the revolt was actually over.

Also, it is more historically accurate to view the violence from 1897 to 1902 as all part of the same revolt. The Philippines were fighting for independence. In the middle of their revolution, the foreign colonial power transferred "ownership" of the Philippines to another foreign colonial power.

The United States defeated the Spanish in the Philippines in 1898. How can this possibly be considered a successful revolution by the Filipinos? Did any other country recognize Philippine independence in 1898?

Finally, some mention should be made in the Wikipedia article about the peaceful establishment of the Republic of the Philippines in 1946. Mingovia (talk) 10:58, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you should compare the Philippines with Guam and Puerto Rico and see if it was a success.--23prootie (talk) 11:02, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME AROUND?
Why are you following me around removing and reducing the size of the picture that I so graciously donated to Wikipedia of my Biracial Child? What is your motive? Dr CareBear (talk) 21:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry But I'm not, I just think the photo is unencyclopedic.--23prootie (talk) 22:03, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

No you have already stated your motive on another articles history. You stated that I am violating this child's privacy rights. The child is my own Multiracial child. He is my son. And it is my right to post this picture and release it into the public domain and donate it to Wikipedia to be included in relevant articles on such things as "race mixing" irterracial marriage etc. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with me. PLEASE STOP. 22:16, 29 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr CareBear (talk • contribs)
