Russia on the right side
Hallo! Do you really believe that Russia was driving to the left well into the XX century? Where did you get this absurd information from? That fact is that the country must have driving on the right side at least since 1858. At that year the Emperor Alexander II issud a decree changing from left to right in Finland. Finland was ceded by Sweden to Russia in 1809, but Swedish law remained in force (e.g. left-hand driving). The change was made to make it more easy for the Russian troops in Finland. Should this change in Finland have been implemented if the Russians themselves were right-hand drivers? --Andhanq 21:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It was not I who made the contribution about Russia driving on the left until 1920. It was user User:195.93.21.4 who contributed this on 04-Dec-2005. I simply reverted several unexplained deletions of this information. If those people had bothered to explain their deletions in the Edit Summary, I would not have reverted the deletions. As you have explained your edit, I will not revert your edit, although it does need further editing. The contributor on 04-Dec-2005 told me in an e-mail "However, I do finally have a date for Russia's L to R change: 1920. I got this from a very very old (but still fully conversant) Russian gentleman, who's one of my patients. Lenin's order in 1920 applied to all territory under Bolshevik control, and was extended to other areas as the Bolsheviks consolidated their gains."


 * Interesting. Could there had been some cities in the vast Rusian Empire with left-hand driving? In e.g. the Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as in Italy there were different rules in different parts of the country. And "Lenin's order" was simply an act of making it uniform all over the territory? I have no idea. But I am pretty sure that in Moscow and S:t Petersburg they drove on the right side already in the 19th century. There are pictures wiyh trams and so on. --Andhanq 09:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Rules of the road
I moved all the left and right side of the road stuff to Side of the road (traffic). Also, about driving on the left being safer, there will always be too many variables to attempt an accurate comparison. With the theory of humans being right-handed and all, you can easily say they are more likely to walk along the right edge of walkways, turn right when entering places, write their circles counter-clockwise, move in counter-clockwise directions, etc. But if you could help with the article Side of the road (traffic), that would be great.—Last Avenue (talk) (contribs) 05:28, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The text you removed about the research by J J Leeming was about statistics, not about opinion. Please do not remove it, as it is relevant hard fact. If you want to make the advantages more balanced (which I would welcome), please add to the advantages of the right, not remove from the advantages of the left. NFH 09:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

RHD on the Continent
One thing I'm pretty sure has already been proven is, drivers in an RHD car on the Continent suffer get into accidents, etc. much more often, even among veterans (lorry drivers etc.) —Last Avenue (talk) (contribs) 05:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * True, and I covered this in the first paragraph of the advantages of driving on the right. NFH 09:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Renaming: Rule of the road
The problem is, there is no easy way to rename the article without breaking links, because the article Rules of the road should still be about the usual driving rules, and Rule of the road about left/side right of the road. If Rules of the road were a redirect to Rule of the road, where would the 'actual' rules of the road text go? —Last Avenue (talk) (contribs) 21:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Edit (new idea): Rules of the road could be a temporary redirect to Rule of the road, while the links are being 'fixed' to avoid the redirect. Then, Traffic laws could be the new page of traffic laws. Sound alright? —Last Avenue (talk) (contribs) 21:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Point of information
Hello. Regarding your recent edit at Rules of the road, your summary reads in part "It was inconsistent anyway, given that it isn't a link elsewhere in this article" Just a friendly point of information: it is suggested that terms are only linked at their first mention, see Manual_of_Style_(links). Ewlyahoocom 04:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

But the link was not the first mention of the phrase. That was my point. In the first "right" list, the phrase had no link, but in the second "left" list, the phrase was linked. That was inconsistent. NFH 09:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Citations for Driving on left or right
Hiya,

Yes, I was a bit irritated at Terminal emulator's threats to delete large amounts of information on Driving on the left or right on the grounds it wasn't 'verifiable'.

Much of the information was probably added years back when there was less of an onus on contributors to add references, and it would be unrealistic to chase them up. However, I have added some references, including one to the Avis website for the Bahamas. (Most of the models they feature are available in RHD, but they still have an all-LHD fleet!)

Registration Plates of the World Neil Parker, John Weeks and Reg Wilson, Europlate, 1994 has pictures of special number plates for Hong Kong and Macau registered vehicles in mainland China, but nothing driving on the left during the Cultural Revolution. Its information is probably similar to Kincaid, although it claims that Western Samoa drove on the left, whereas I've seen pictures in a Lonely Planet Guide, in which traffic was on the right. Quiensabe 00:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, thanks very much for adding all the references. Some of them are very interesting to read. I think you're absolutely right about how the article evolved. I'm reluctant to add the page number for everything that is backed up by Kincaid's book, as it supports so much of the article and the number of references would get out of hand. But links to newspaper articles etc like the ones you've added are great. NFH 19:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Money Reform Party
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Money Reform Party, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Terraxos (talk) 01:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Please stop pushing your tax agenda on only the one article. You'll notice that other articles list prices without taxes. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:42, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have a tax agenda, but I do believe that if prices from different countries are listed, they should be comparable without misleading omissions such as some excluding tax. If you are unwilling to list the prices in a comparable way, then don't list them at all. Contrary to your comment, no other page about an iOS device lists prices. NFH (talk) 22:09, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You do. Several editors have removed the statement. Add it to other, similar articles to see where that gets you. It's trivial information. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:27, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You aggressively and incorrectly claimed that my good-faith edits were vandalism, just because you didn't agree with them. They were not vandalism any more than your own edits. Although the prices have now been removed in accordance with the no-price policy, how do you expect a non-US reader to know that the US price excludes tax if this is not made clear? Although it is irrelevant that other articles might be similarly deficient, you have failed to cite any other article that likewise mixes excl-tax and incl-tax prices from multiple countries without indicating which prices exclude tax.

November 2012
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on IPad Mini. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ''Four reverts in just over 24 hours and you still have not indicated any other articles where your "excluding taxes" has been used. Be prepared for someone else to revert it because it's full of holes.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:24, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as own, amending the information added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:51, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Savoy-court-drive-right-in.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Savoy-court-drive-right-in.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
