 * I also noticed your recent contributions. First, many thanks for creating Hagere Selam (Degua Tembien); there are hundreds of Ethiopian towns & villages which need articles. However, I have two questions about your recent edits: (1) Since the Hagere Selam in the south of the country is (relatively speaking) the best known town of that name, do we really need a disambiguation page pointing to both, rather than a "For" template at the article for the larger town to the smaller? (2) I haven't encountered "Kilte Awulaelo" in my work on Ethiopia for Wikipedia, let alone as an alternative name for Wukro; can you provide some cites that attest to it? Thanks. -- llywrch (talk) 17:07, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * (1) I see the population of both towns is quite comparable. I think 'best known' is very dependant on who're you're asking. Asking someone from the south he will know the one in Sidama zone, asking one in the northern part of the country, he will not know about Hagere Selam towns other than the one in the Tembien. There are many other areas which are called Hagere Selam too, but none of them are towns, so for now I only mentioned these two in the disambiguation list. I think it's comparable to a La Bastide in France for example. By the way the population number was extracted from the results of the 2007 census. These aren't published yet officially. For I know, in Degua Tembien they were conducted on the kebele level. This is in contrast to the numbers of the CSA of 2005, which are (for I know), extrapolation of the 1994 census using the woreda growth rates. The yearly growth number was calculated from the numbers of 1994 and 2007.


 * (2) While I was working in Tigray in 2009, "Kilte Awulaelo" was not used for the Wukro tabia. I found it while browsing through the census data of 2007 where the tabias of the Wukro tabia where summarized under the "Kilte Awulaelo" woreda. I googled it and apparently it is used as a woreda name. As it is used in official census data tables, I think as Wukro grew to become a large town, people started using Wukro to name the district. I'm not sure if "Kilte Awulaelo" is still officially used, but I wouldn't certainly change the title of the page as the name Wukro is must more known. But if people read documents about a Kilte Awulaelo district, I think it's good they are referred to the right wiki, that's why I made a redirect page from Kilte Awulaelo to Wukro (woreda).

 * Where did you find the 2007 census data? So far all I've been able to find about that is the summary published by the CSA on their website, which omits figures for all towns which are not urban woredas. (It also doesn't help that the CSA website is not reachable at the moment. I don't know if it's because of server problems or because the Ethiopian government is throttling the country's Internet connection again.) -- llywrch (talk) 04:33, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Your addition of the AoE III template has been reverted by many editors on different articles.
See WP:MILPOP for the official explanation. This is not a fantasy encyclopedia, so the template is not suitable in most articles here. Imagine what would happen if stacked tons of those templates for every game in every article on tanks. Try gaming.wikia.com. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 14:40, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Orange Book vs. Conservatives
Hi, in response to your question on the Liberal Democrats talk page - there are many similarities between the Orange Book wing of the Lib Dems and the Conservatives, especially the one-nation faction which tends to dominate the Conservative leadership these days. The similarities are that both are broadly pro-free market and pro-free trade, Atlanticist and liberal interventionist on foreign policy, believe in global warming, support same-sex marriage and supported membership of the EU. This is what made the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition agreement possible. The centrist and Blairite New Labour faction of the Labour Party would also find many areas of agreement with these two groups.

However, the biggest differences are that the Orange Book Liberal Democrats have a very liberal stance on immigration, while the Conservatives are somewhat more restrictive, and that the Conservatives are much stronger defenders of the traditional role of British institutions, such as the Church of England, the monarchy, First Past the Post, the House of Lords, the military and law and order (through the courts and the police), while the Liberal Democrats are more inclined to support reform in these areas, such as proportional representation and drug decriminalisation. On civil liberties issues such as detention without trial and warrantless surveillance, the Conservatives, like Labour, typically make libertarian arguments against such measures when in opposition, but emphasise national security in these areas when in government, while the Liberal Democrats have been fairly consistently liberal on these issues.

The Conservatives also have more eurosceptic influences (the Orange Bookers supported British membership of the euro and even European federalism, both of which the Tories overwhelmingly opposed), and the influence of Thatcherism has made the Tories more liberal than the Orange Bookers on economics - the Tories generally want greater cuts to spending and taxation. Among the Tory backbenchers, there is an even more substantial difference, as many of them opposed same-sex marriage and are critics of the global warming theory. Some such as Michael Gove are neoconservatives, which makes them more willing to intervene militarily than the Orange Bookers would be, while others such as John Baron are disinclined towards foreign military intervention from a nationalist "putting Britain first" perspective, ironically bringing them more in line with the left-leaning social liberal faction of the Liberal Democrats.

Ways to improve Spatiomap
