Commonwealth (in English and in French)
Hi! I see that you're new to Wikipedia... it can be daunting, can't it? But rewarding. I also see you've done some good work thus far on articles relating to French India, which is great because I've always felt the articles on non-British India are a little lacking. But on the topic of the Commonwealth, I'd like to point you to WP:CON, WP:NOR, WP:UNDUE and, relating to your question about the term "Commonwealth realm" on the French wiki, WP:CIV. We use the term "Commonwealth realm" is because it's been used in reliable sources and provides a catchall term to refer to those 16 countries. This is a longstanding consensus here and was adopted as a matter of course on the French encyclopedia. Remember to assume good faith, as well. I hope this has been helpful, and I look forward to working with you on the project! Cheers -- MichiganCharms (talk) 01:45, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Enclave and exclave
Please review WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH. You did a good job writing it, but it reads like original research, or even that it was copied. You need to source information. You can use your sandbox (there's a link at the top of this page called My Sandbox) to write your full edit and add citations.

Also, don't do any further reverts. You're just on the cusp of WP:3RR, and you don't want to go there. I've seen a lot of good editors get bad marks because of it. SkepticalRaptor (talk) 18:46, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Enclaves and Exclaves of the European Union
I have reverted that section titled Enclaves and exclaves of the European Union. Some have criticized part of it in Talk, but the whose section makes no sense. If you start creating enclaves and exclaves to non-state entities, then we are entering fantasyland and there is no end in sight. By the same token, I could say that Cuba is an exclave of the Organisation of American States, that this and that country is an enclave or an exclave of the Arab League, or ASEAN, or NATO, etc.--Lubiesque (talk) 01:13, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Free imperial city, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reichstag (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

RE: "VANDALISM" (!)
Ever heard of your "assume good faith"? I did not mean to vandalize anything. It was a mistake. Just for your information, next time perhaps you'll think two times about using certain words improperly.

October 2013
Your recent editing history at British Raj shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. As I've said repeatedly, the article is about a political entity, not about a term; it doesn't matter that it has been in place for three months. I've been working on this article for 7 years; we've been through this issue many times before, see the talk archives. I know what the article is about. Thank you.

Ottoman Empire
Your continuous removal of a section link in Ottoman Empire (diff, diff, diff and diff) has been your only "contribution" to the article so far and is starting to resemble vandalism. The article Decline of the Ottoman Empire exists, no matter how you feel about it, and is linked to the main article as laid down in WP:SS which is a Wikipedia guideline. This silly affair has been going for almost a month now, so I hope you will decide to follow the guideline and stop reverting. Regards, eh bien mon prince (talk) 23:21, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Removed map
When I saw that you had removed a map from German mediatization, with the explanation "A more detailed map of the prince-bishoprics is already shown", I was concerned. The map you removed is different from the one of prince-bishoprics in several ways. However, I checked the most conspicuous difference, and found that the removed map shows the prince-bishopric of Magdeburg, which was secularised in 1680. So you did a good job in removing an inappropriate map,

Hello, I'm RA0808. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view.

Don Pacifico Affair
You removed the background section back in October. It may have been overlong, but I am not so certain it was "irrelevant, even remotely" to the affair. The differences in outlook between (a) Britain and (b) France and Russia had much to do with how the affair played out after the start of the blockade. The illiberalism of Otto also may have played a role in the Whig government's decision to escalate. I have not restored the section, since it is not something I know much about. Srnec (talk) 21:02, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Levant and Levantine
You say "It must be made clear that, in English and French, we no longer use the term Levant in a contemporary context. The rest of the article should be edited to reflect that reality." This is not true. See the sources I have added to the article. --Macrakis (talk) 23:29, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

On Pondicherry-related articles.
Hi, I wanted to let you know that insults and accusations are not the sign of a good Wikipedian. According to this Government of India portal: https://web.archive.org/web/20150402195506/http://ecourts.gov.in/pondicherry/history the cession treaty isn't entirely repealed and French is an additional official language of Pondicherry/Puducherry

Also, since the Government of India has changed the English, French and Tamil names, Pondichery became Poudouchery, the Gazette contains the new names since 2006, 2007, 2008... up to the 2019 revision. How on Earth can you call this a "mistake", when the Government is using it from 1960s-2006 and 2006-2019?. Calling me a "clueless fellow" https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pondicherry&oldid=901127356 does not help build your case.

Here are other government sources for the new French official name:

Edit Warring Warning
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.Kangdomkome (talk) 03:43, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

January 2021
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Imperial units, Metrication,  History of the metric system, and Talk:Imperial units. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. What are you doing? Did you even look at the articles before you removed that map four times? The map does show Canada as a mixed usage country. And yes, I can remove your WP:NOTAFORUM talk page post. If you want to suggest a change to a page then suggest a change, don't make general comments on the subject. Meters (talk) 18:43, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Francafrique

Aden
Look the Aden Settlement article redirects to the Chief Commisoners Province of Aden. I changed it to 1839 S that is when Aden became British. If you could give a reason why you are undoing that edit I will be very happy to stop Kanto7 (talk) 03:53, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

There should be a separate article for the Aden Settlement. That article should only talk about Aden Province from 1932 to 1937 Kanto7 (talk) 03:57, 11 February 2021 (UTC):


 * Yes, surprisingly, Aden Settlement (1839-1937) does not have an article of its own. But creating a separate article dealing only with Aden Settlement would make a total of 4 articles for British Aden (Aden Settlement, Chief Commissioner's Province of Aden, Aden Colony, State of Aden) Four separate articles for a minor colony is absurd. A better solution would be to take the article Chief Commissioner's Province of Aden (a short period not deserving a separate article), rename it British Aden and write an article that covers the entire period of British rule. I'm thinking of doing that in the coming days. --Lubiesque (talk) 21:41, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
