Inter-factional fighting
Since the Libyan war is tentativly over since late October I was thinking we should create an article about the inter-factional fighting between various rebel factions and also it seems resumption of hostilities with pro-Gaddafi elements today with the loyalist take-over of Bani Walid. Do you agree with this assesment? I was thinking of calling it 2011-2012 Libyan inter-factional fighting or something along those lines. If you got an idea for a better title please share it. Thank you. EkoGraf (talk) 19:41, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, he seems to be the only one who thinks that its only riots over housing (could have think of something better). Not realy surprised he try to cover up a potential re-emergenc of loyalist elements. EkoGraf (talk) 02:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I perssonaly expected this kind of situation. What to expect from a people that has known only control and results through fear for more than 40 years, they don't know of any other way of doing things. I at least give credit to Gaddafi that he was efficient and nobody even thought of criminal/rable behavior during his time. XD These guys can expect a loooong road ahead of them in trying to rebuild the country and I think its questionable that they ever will compleatly rebuild. By the way, finished that article, check it out 2011-2012 Libyan inter-factional fighting.EkoGraf (talk) 03:12, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

With the Hitler thing, in Germany itself, it was more of a case of country-wide indoctrination than subjugation. But yup, we gonna see how this all turns out in a few years, time will tell, nothing can be definetly said yet. EkoGraf (talk) 06:30, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Agree with two out of three of your edits. Don't agree with the removal of the loyalists from the infobox, cause even though they may not be responsible for yesterdays fighting in Bani Walid, they were proven to be the ones responsible for last months killing of 15 NTC soldiers in Bani Walid, the cross border attack, and the hit-and-run attacks in Tripoli and Benghazi yesterday, so for now leave them in the infobox until situation is clearer. And I never stated that the loyalists were gonna retake the country, what I said was that the NTC will have a hell of a time rebuilding the country, and that it was questionable if they would be able to do it totaly.

Libyan civil war: The contribution of Albania
You removed Albania from the list of NATO. This is unacceptable.

Battles and Conflicts Without Fatalites
First of all 'Me again' has nothing to do with anything, if i added a wrong category, i apologise but don't make it personal.

Secondly, which article was a wrong about exactly? 81.98.167.142 (talk) 23:18, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, so i was wrong for some of them, but when it comes to cyberwarfare, hackers may not be soldiers but nothing says it has to be actual military operations. There are riots in that category, not to mention old-West gunfights (Not all of which were added by me for the record).
 * When it comes to my success rate, i've but at least 50 articles into the category over time but that really doesn't matter, Wikipedia isn't about statistics.
 * All in all, i'll throw my hands up and admit i was wrong on some of them but i can't help but feel this is partially personal. Also, i stand by the cyberattacks, they're conflicts that didn't have fatalities. 81.98.167.142 (talk) 00:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Regarding this, you're correct but that has nothing to do with what I'm saying. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they will. The fact is that ANI has almost twice as many page watchers. This is an issue that concerns the whole community, not just admins. It should be in a venue where more of the community will see it.

 * On a side note, when we translate pages from other Wikipedias we're supposed to cite the source articles on the talk page of the new English article with translated page. That's required to keep the free licensing of the translated text. I've done that for your last articles on the hundreds but please remember to use that template next time. It has an option  to fit nicely with the regular talk page stickers like project ratings etc. De728631 (talk) 15:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Icelandic name conventions
Hi there. I noticed your edit on Veigar Páll Gunnarsson, which you say should be referred to as "Veigar". That might be true, on Iceland, but this guy have played most of his career in Norway, where he is referred to as "Pall Gunnarsson" or "Gunnarsson". Shouldn't that be taken into account? Mentoz86 (talk) 12:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * He's been playing for Iceland or an Icelandic side for even longer, and retains Icelandic citizenship AFAIK. "Gunnarson" is not a surname, and calling him by that makes as much sense as referring to Vladimir Putin as "Vladimirovich". Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 12:48, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah you are probably right, but in my opinion it would be own research to call him "Veigar" when all sources refer to him as "Pall Gunnarsson" or "Gunnarsson". Out of curiousity, is this the same for all islandic names, like Eidur Gudjonsson? Mentoz86 (talk) 13:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Adherence to proper naming conventions is hardly original research. It is quite simply wrong to refer to Icelanders by their patronymics only. Guðjohnsen is a bit of a special case; his last name is actually a true surname. In Iceland, he would still be referred to as Eiður in all contexts, but it is more acceptable to use the surname because it is actually a family name. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 13:23, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Look, if the use of his proper name bugs you that much, then you can use the full "Veigar Gunnarson" and it will still be acceptable. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 13:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * (Edit conflict)My point is that it's not up to us as Wikipedia-editors to "find out", we should only do what the sources tell us, and after almost 10 years in Norway he is referred to by his patronymic name. Same goes for most of the other Category:Icelandic expatriates in Norway, or those in Denmark and Sweden. Are you telling me that all those should be changed? And how do we know what is patronymic, like Gunnarsson, and what is family name, like Gudjonsson, cause it looks kinda similar to me. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:34, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Guðjohnsen. The non-Icelandic Danish ending is a good tip-off. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 13:37, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia tends to follow local naming conventions; see WP:LASTNAME where Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir is given as a specific example of not improperly using the patronymic later on. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 13:52, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I still think it's a little weird to refer to him as Veigar, when he almost his entire career have been referred to as Pall Gunnarsson, and probably have Gunnarsson on his national team kit. But I don't want to oppose wikipedia's policy, so thank you for the enlightment. Mentoz86 (talk) 08:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Looking at e.g.  , it would seem that the Icelandic national kit doesn't have names—probably to avoid patronymic confusion.  Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 16:39, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Template cruft
The templates make it too difficult to give proper citations. They are a bad thing.--Toddy1 (talk) 14:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * ....huh? Citation templates are one of the most widely used means of making citations on the project—to the extent that the developers even put the function into the upper editing toolbar. They make the citations on the page uniform and greatly reduce nasty WP:BAREURLs, which you restored many of with your reversion. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 14:30, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Lalueza and Gilbert
I have noticed that you are including references to Lalueza and Gilbert 2011 in many articles related to admixture hypotheses. I applaud that, but you must becareful not to use the article to support claims that it doesn't actually support. For example you cannot use it to show "growing support in the community" (because they are not speaking for other scholars or claiming a change in the community consensus) or that the OOA model is loosing ground (because they explicitly say that the data suppports an OOA model with subsequent geneflow). It is perfectly fine to include the article, but please try to be as cautious as they are when you represent their views. This topic is already riddled with sensationalism and ill supported claims - we don't need to promote that on wikipedia. But thanks for finding and including the article - and I also agree that many of the articles need updating about the newest developments in paleo-genetics. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 15:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was my understanding of it. It's a survey of a whole bunch of other work, and the conclusion they draw is: "The ancient hominin genomes of Neanderthals and Denisovans have demonstrated that conventional models of human evolution based on genetic analyses of modern data are over-simplified. While the out of Africa migration of anatomically modern humans continues to play a dominant role in the origin of modern Eurasians, it is clear that successive episodes of hybridisation with archaichominins have played a role in this process." So, maybe I was a bit overzealous, but not unreasonably so.
 * OOA/RAO, strictly defined as "single origin" (as in the article), excludes significant admixture. This is almost certainly not the case. I don't think that the genome work supports the orthodox multi-regional hypothesis, either. I personally think the Assimilation Model (e.g.) will be the "theory of tomorrow", but that's for time to tell. I do, however, have some other articles supporting admixture that I will add in when I have more free time. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 15:39, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There are other recent articles also that argues that admixture isn't at odds with recent out of Africa - (except for the strict single origin models that were basically outdated anyway)·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 15:53, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the gist of the AM. But the ROA article as it stands advocates the strict "single origin (monogenetic)" theory and lists the Neandertal/Denisovan genome work under "Competing theories". Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 15:59, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * We should update it with some recent textbooks then I think. And the Lalueza and Gilbert review is definitely a good source we should use - but they pretty explicity do not claim to challenge the ROOA model - only to complicate it (which I think is an important distinction to be sure).·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:01, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hehe, I think any textbook you try to use will probably become outdated by the time you click "save page" ;)
 * The ROA is not fully rejected by any mainstream assimilation model, you are correct. But it does refute the purist monogenetic version of it. There cannot be a single source if modern populations have a small but significant portion of their DNA traceable to non-AMHs. I'm not aware of any serious denial of admixture/assimilation as of recently. Currat and Excoffier (2011) are the most critical that I have come across, but they still concur with a limited, traceable amount of admixture. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 16:11, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Paleoanthropology textbooks come out with new editions almost every year, and they are definitely the best for gauging what has already become consensus. Wikipedia doesn't need to be further ahead than that - it is better to be conservative in a field like paleoanthropology that is so ripe with sensationalism and controversy. By the way I apologize for removing the "outdated" tag - I didn't notice it. I definitely agree the article needs to be updated.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:24, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Info
Just a mark about this. No, by far no, you didnt get it. I was talking about those several editors that join in here with this enforcement, as they did with several other editors with whom they were in conflict. Not administrators, they see only limited amount of data... -- WhiteWriterspeaks 20:33, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I doubt that your usage of bold and highlighting in the village pump complies with guidelines for discussion pages. Nemo 14:00, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Can you please point me to the talk discussion you used for this removal? Thanks. -- Neil N   talk to me  12:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

He won't have one because he thinks he can vandalise articles at will.

He uses Wikipropagnda to add anti-russian shit to everything he finds.
