resquest for page protection
i'm thinking, given the number of anonymous acts of vandalism suffered by this article, we might want to look into semi-protecting the article... i'm taking this to you because you seem to have more experience with this and you've been also trying to revert this guy. the thing is that he doesn't have a fixed ip. the same would go for Justicialist Party, since it's the same guy.--camr Yes, Master? 15:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's exactly what ought to be done, but it has been declined :S No range block when I asked an admin directly, even no semi. F'ing wikilawyering... -- Miacek (t) 16:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * i tried, but as you said, they wouldn't listen. it's offputting... good luck.--camr Yes, Master? 20:17, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Advice?
As you recall, I'm short of common sense. Can you advise me if is an insulting violation of the ban on insinuating Nazi-mindedness in fellow editors, or a bad joke which needs to be countered by a half-witted witticism? ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 08:13, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * hmm, might be reported somewhere, but where... I dunno... ㅠ_ㅠ -- Miacek (t) 13:38, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Another piece of advice needed. Could you take a look at Sirje Kingsepp and make sure it complies with legal requirements? ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 11:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * This is indeed a complicated legal matter. The results may be devastating for you.

Reverting edits as vanalism
You appear to be misusing the term WP:Vandalism. This was clearly not vandalism. Please be more careful. Toddst1 (talk) 15:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It clearly was a bad-faith edit by an idiotic troll. we may call it nonsense edit, vandalism, idiocy, lunacy - there are endless possibilities to characterize such bad faith users. Regards, -- Miacek (t) 10:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Partisans
I would say the word partisans is more associated with the Soviets in World War II anyway. The Estonian partisans are generally simply known as the Forest Brothers. If you think anti-fascist or anti-Nazi denigrates the other partisan group, perhaps we should have Estonian partisans (article in question) as the main page (no parentheses in the title), with a link to Forest Brothers at the top? After all, it's the Forest Brothers who are identified as "anti-Soviet Estonian partisans" or "anti-Communist Estonian partisans" when referred to as partisans in the literature, not the anti-fascist/pro-Soviet group.

Party of Democratic Action
Thanks for the heads up, the warning you received is rather drastic especially a "last warning". Ive removed the bit from the "American Thinker blog", as the blog and the person who wrote the article cant possible be taken as a serious source. PRODUCER (talk) 15:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The funny thing being that he has issued another 'ultimate warning' for me (I reverted it this time), and he even made an attempt to get me blocked for 'vandalism' by using regular vandalism report :P. It's obviously a user with a strong agenda, also revealed here Ljiljan (admittedly, not the most reasonable newspaper in BiH, though the POVification attempts of the user are obvious throughout ;-) -- Miacek (t) 15:22, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Presidential terms
Could you help to compile a list of "democratic countries changing the terms and mandates of their state bodies" so that we could link the words "These cases are well known" in 2008 Amendments to the Constitution of Russia? I can think of several African, Near Eastern, Central Asian and Latin American democracies increasing the terms and a European democracy decreasing the term, but I don't have good sources. Colchicum (talk) 15:11, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll try to find sources. France came to my mind, too. You probably mean changing the terms only through making amendments to constitution, not passing a new constitution (as has happened in France previously)? -- Miacek (t) 11:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's the French case: French constitutional referendum, 2000,, , []. On the other hand, I can't recall any occasions from the 20th century, when a European democracy has extended the terms. Incidentally, I came across such a thing on Senegal extending the term. The ghits you get for a similar query lead us to countries like Azerbaijan extending the term. Mr. Ortega in Nicaragua is about to seek such a change , a Lebanese president extended the term, followed by renewal of his mandate . -- Miacek  (t) 11:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Terrorists
Please look Terrorist. Would you agree?Biophys (talk) 00:57, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I once edited the article on Osama bin Laden, I haven't changed my mind since then. -- Miacek  (t) 12:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
