List of Nobel laureates in Literature
Hello, could you please stop changing the nationalities as you see fit? They follow the Nobel website's listing of "Residence at the time of the award". This means that the nationalities all follow one source, which prevents users from changing them to the ones they see fit. All of the entries you are changing follow the Nobel website, and the nations that no longer exist did exist at the time those people won the prize. -- Scorpion 0422  01:01, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, I tried to understand the Nobel site's logic, but I didn't. I'm sorry but West Germany had never been a separate nation (Germans were one nation). Some of writers have no "Residence at the time of the award" at the site, so how would we explain the use of country name (Russia in the case of Bunin). And finally, do "Country" and "Residence at the time of the award" have the same meaning without additional explanations? Should we modify the title of the column in order to prevent all misunderstanding about writers' countries? (If we speak just about "Residence at the time of the award" it means exactly the state where a writer was living at the moment - so Sienkiewicz was living nowhere but in the Russian Empire as Poland didn't exist as a state, and if we write Poland it means nowadays it's Poland.) 1450 (talk) 21:01, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The Nobel website used to be much simpler: it just listed that person as being from one or (sometimes) two countries, rather than including Country of birth, death and place of residence. Some of them don't make a lot of sense (ie. George Bernard Shaw being listed as being from the UK rather than Ireland) but for the sake of consistancy, we follow them. -- Scorpion 0422  22:17, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

In other pages, such as List of Nobel laureates in Physics, there is a note that reads "The information in the country column is according to nobelprize.org, the official website of the Nobel Foundation. This information may not necessarily reflect the recipient's birthplace or citizenship." I'll add that. There's no point in requesting protection, that is only given when there are constant edit wars. -- Scorpion 0422  20:12, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Merya appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. Bluezy (talk) 19:08, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reminding me that. I ensure you that it only appears as a non-neutral reference, as the film is positioned by its authors as a fictional story about fictional rites. Many of features in this film (not only concerning Meryans) do not correspond to the reality. The film director is known for faking facts in his works intentionally (his film about Russians being the first to land on the Moon was presented & awarded as the Best Documentary (!) Film). Some of my ancestors were Meryans and I live near the sites where the action takes place and I ensure you nobody does the things depicted in the film even if some people claim themselves as Meryans.
