Olá. College term starts January 10 and so I won't be on Wikipedia nearly as much. I thought I'd let you know. Just put my pages on your watchlist and you can start new discussions if you want. I think it's excellent what you have contributed so far! :-) User:Learnportuguese 04:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Here's a grin for you! Grins somehow promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better.

Rudget!
Dear Husond, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget . 16:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

You keep saying that moves must be listed at WP:RM, but that isn't true. They can be, or consensus can be made on the talk page, just like WP:RM says. However, you're right that these moves were incorrectly attempted (copy and paste). - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

European Borders
There is a BIG problem going on about whether Republic of Georgia and other neighboring countries should be included in Europe or not .As you know there is no official border between europe and Asia and there is a great number of unofficial versions .so you might think that it is LOGICAL to explain all of the versions that exist for today on that page..........     well sadly thats not what most editors think. they put one version there and every time I changed it, it went back to the previous version. now I am just wondering do these people think it is their personal page or what gives them the right to rely on several sources and ignore other ones that are not any less trust me. They should definately offer every version of where the border goes between the two continents instead of putting only one version and not even bothering to explain why, it is unacceptable. I contacted one of the editors and he/she said that he chose that version because he/she "thinks it is the most neutral one". I am sorry but what some users "think" should be completely irrelevant while making an article on the website which has an ambition to be Credible. they should include all of the versions or not include anything at all before there is an OFFICIAL border ! Council of Europe, the oldest organization in europe classifies country as european, country is in the middle of the NATO membership process (only european countries are eligible for it according  to the North Atlantic Treaty) and they are not even mentioning why they left it out. Turkey is not the case because it was already amember of nato. cant they understand that page is not about the EU. its the entire europe as a whole and until the borders will be determined OFFICIALLY all of the versions should be included. I really want to ask someone to take care of it as they dont seem to understand my very logical argument and even used some rude words in private messages.--Polscience (talk) 04:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Polscience
We are still busy with the discussion about the country list on the Europe page. Unfortunately, progress is slow. One reason might be you abandoned it :-)

Another reason might be the parallel occurrence of new users who are putting more confusion to the issue than anything else. I was already kinda suspicious, but on the other hand my perception is certainly biased since the Polscience socket puppeting earlier this week. Then I found the following message on my personal talk page: DScheffer, Rddddavid and Polscience all sign their name in the same way (with a -- before their name) Grinkov (talk) 19:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC) Could you please see if there is anything fishy going on here.

Spain/Portugal
Thanks for your comment. I admit that, in a technical sense, you're right. But in that same sense, Castile and Aragon were separate kingdoms too, which means that "Spain" as we understand it didn't exist. "Spain" is a complex word, but I think we can understand Portugal to have been a part of Spain for that period in the same way that any of the other medieval kingdoms were by that point "part of 'Spain'". It all really proves my point that "Spain" is just the English word for the old Latin Hispania, which today is Iberia, since "Spain" has become the official shorthand for the Kingdom of Spain, a state in its own right independent of Portugal, Andorra, and Gibraltar, which are also part of "Spain" in its historical sense.

Hello again Husond. In your reply you said you will get back to me, and I don't know the full extent to how busy you are now. Essentially, I'm just checking you didn't forget - I am happy to wait though :-). After all, mais vol tard que nunca.  Balkan Fever  09:40, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. In answer to your question, I just found it weird because of the whole Montenegrins=Serbs and Moldovans=Romanians thing so often mentioned by other Wikipedians. I agree with you that Moldovans have more to gain, although in a union with Romania they would be assimilated (back, some may say) and become Romanians. I don't really have much of a view on whether that should happen or not, though. With Montenegro, I think there would have been many more problems if it didn't split off. It's interesting to note that ever since 1990 it has been Belgrade losing land over and over. The Balkans has so many problems even now, and I don't see solutions any time soon...
