Toronto Maple Leafs seasons
Your comment about the halves seems to be the opposite of what you edited to the page. There was no single season back in the 1910s, so you can't place the teams on some overall record. It was more like two separate seasons. The teams would play to win the first half, stop, then play to win the second half. Alaney2k (talk) 14:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You are right, I did misunderstand. I looked at the history view and did not see what you showed me today. Sorry about that. I'll undo my change and make sure it looks ok. Alaney2k (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi again - now that the Chicago Shamrox are no more, can you remove them from the NLLteamlocations.png image? Thanks --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 01:06, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Template:NBA 2009–10 game log section
Thanks! I didn't know what the parameter was to make it show one of the months on each team's game log template without having to edit the main NBA Game Log Section template. When I edited the main game log template to show October on all of them, I realized it would do the same for not only the 2009-10 season templates, but the 2008-09 templates too, so I thought making a new template was the answer, so the 2008-09 templates would be left alone. But now that I know the easier way to fix it, I'll go clean up the mess I made. :D Tampabay721 (talk) 21:01, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Sure, feel free. The game number for the playoff games isn't really relevant, and I have no particular opinion on whether there's a space after the @ sign.

Request for image
Hey mate, do you remember this photo that you posted in a discussion some time last year? I was wondering if I might ask you to upload it (or better still, a cropped version showing just East Africa, with Somalia broken up) to commons? I'm interested in using it on the East Africa page, where a couple of editors previously objected to Somaliland being listed separately from Somalia. Their reasoning cited the fact that very few sources, when listing the constituents of eastern Africa, mention Somaliland separately from Somalia. I'm not sure if you remember the mediation case...? Anyway, a photo of a published map would be invaluable.

Is this possible? Thank you, and best regards,  Night w   03:00, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Fantastic! The rationale looks convincing to me. I'll add them to the article promtly. Thank you so much for doing that, this will be a big help!  Night w   04:28, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Reviewer permission
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   05:57, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Djibouti and Kosovo
Cheers for reverting the IP's edit, I was just informing the reader where the reports had come from. It wasn't a biased edit, it was not in violation of WP:NPOV. Anyway thanks for your support. Also if you search on google news, that is the only article reporting that Djibouti is planning on withdrawing recognition. Lets just keep an eye out encase the IP decides to revert again, if it does continue I may request that the article is semi-protected so that IPs and new accounts can't edit the article. Regards IJA (talk) 11:01, 17 February 2011 (UTC)


 * It is possible, for example Iran de-recognised Israel. However once you've recognised it is a lot harder to de-recognise, especially if you've established diplomatic relations. Also with the ICJ saying Kosovo's independence wasn't illegal, there isn't much ground on to de-recognise. It'd be really hard to justify. I also think it is important to point out who has stated it therefore the reader can make up his/ her own mind as to why the Serbian Ambassador to Ethiopia has said this about Djibouti.

Otherwise someone might accuse you of sock puppetry.  See WP:SOCK.  TDL (talk) 20:30, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Revision to inaccurate info
With regard to the Laure Kightlinger bio, you intentionally reverted an accurate edit, linked to a verifiable source link, to knowing false info. There is no COI violation in providing accurate first-hand knowledge based on verified facts. The prior person who made the edits did so without any source reference and based on false information. All we want is an accurate bio. Kightlinger was born in 1969, as listed in her verified IMDB profile. She graduated high school in 1986 - the inaccurate listed info is not sourced, but you reverted to the false information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L&S-ESQS (talk • contribs) 23:32, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note, I reverted you edits because you changed her year of graduation from Emerson College from 1986 to 1989 and from highschool to 1986 without any sources to back up these claims. Emerson College itself claims that she graduated in 1986, as seen in the sources linked in the article:  .  If she graduated from college in 1986 how could she also have graduated from highschool in the same year?  As for her date of birth, I agree that the 1964/65 claim had no sources to back it up.  However, IMDB isn't a WP:RS so we can't use that either.  I removed all the speculation about her date of birth from the article until such time as someone finds a RS to confirm it.  If you find one, then please post it on the article's talk page for discussion.  TDL (talk) 21:14, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Even if the source was in the public domain, that doesn't mean you can plagiarize the content.  TDL (talk) 04:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Revert on List of states with limited recognition
Hello,

On List_of_states_with_limited_recognition you undid my revision with the comment "talk pages are a RS". What do you mean by that? All I can find is they would be RuneScape, which makes no sense at all. The link to the talk page was added because I realise it's a possibly dubious subject, so any editor will think about it. Pirodam (talk) 10:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have been more clear with my comment. I actually mistyped.  What I ment to say was that "talk pages are not a RS".  By RS I mean a WP:Reliable Source.  We can't cite a discussion on the talk page as justification for including the entry in the article because these discussions are not reliable.
 * If you think that something in the article is dubious, you could add the template "dubious" next to the statement. This will generate a link to the talk page and appear as .  (Just copy and paste everything between the quotation marks, including the curly brackets  – ).
 * If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! TDL (talk) 12:10, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Kosovo recognition
I don't see something that should be discussed. All the publication in the article have they reference. For example FM of Kazakhstan said that "...." is a fact. We can't change the context of discussion. What is the problem here? I'm open to discuss.

 * But the quote you are including doesn't say that Kazakhstan supported Kosovo's membership in the IBRD. It says that they will think about it.  That's not notable.  I'm happy to discuss this on the talk page (there's already a discussion started there) but you need to self-revert as per WP:BRD.

 * No it wasn't a mistake, your edit was soapboxing. One of the five pillars of wikipedia is that content must adhere to a neutral point of view.  Your edit was written as an attack on the EU, not a neutral description.  I strongly suggest that you do not re-add this content to the article and instead start a discussion on the article's discussion page.  Here you can propose changes and other editors will weight in and help you formulate your edit in a neutral manner.  TDL (talk) 08:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah, can do. Unfortunately both templates are fully protected so I can't make the changes myself.  But I've made an edit request here so it should be dealt with shortly.  TDL (talk) 22:03, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Both templates should be working now. TDL (talk) 03:58, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Appears they are. Republic of China (1912–1949) is a working example, if you're interested. Thanks, maybe one day I'll learn the code. CMD (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
