Great map
Hello Philg88,

Congratulations for your wonderful work and the map that you have drawn. In comparison with the former is even not possible :-)

There are little historical mistakes. Could you tell me what is the process to make them corrected ?

Kind Regards, Pluto2012 (talk) 10:51, 11 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your kind comment Pluto2012. I assume you are talking about [File:Israel and Palestine 1st June 1948-EN.svg]. You can leave a message requesting (minor) corrections to the map here on my talk page. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ star.png 18:13, 11 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello Philg88,
 * In order not to disturb you several times, I have asked other contributors (Zero0000, Ynhockey, Ykantor) to give their mind.
 * When we have discussed I will come back to you with some requests.
 * Thank you again for your work ! Pluto2012 (talk) 18:18, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

You have listed yourself as a peer review volunteer interested in copyediting articles. Would you like to support the quest to counter systemic bias on Wikipedia? Would you like to read an interesting article about something different? If so, you are invited to give a thorough review of the article Xiaxue, which is about a Singaporean celebrity blogger. The article is very short and should not take long to review. Hope you enjoy reviewing it as much as I enjoyed writing it. ''Thanks! 谢谢！Terima kasih! நன்றி!'' --J.L.W.S.

Really??? You are too lazy to type in "French" and just want to blindly revert? Also, Expand language clearly states on the page, "This template should not be placed on article pages directly. Instead, choose a language-specific template from Category:Expand by language Wikipedia templates." Bgwhite (talk) 05:58, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's a bit harsh. No, I am not too lazy to type in "French" and I didn't blindly revert. I reverted your edit in good faith because your changed the source language to Spanish, which is incorrect. My use of the wrong template is a different issue and for that I apologise. ► Philg88 ◄ star.png 08:14, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Link need to be verified before deleting
Dear Sir, I've added an external link on Bahrain page to www.thebahrain.com. and I've noticed that you've commented it is as a commercial site. Could you please explain, because of google ads there in the website? Please go thru the website and contents, (you will not be able to find even a single website related to bahrain, better than www.thebahrain.com.) Hope you will understand. Thanks VinodMAN. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.131.64.193 (talk) 16:50, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the message. I'm sure that the website you want added is excellent, the question is whether it is relevant to an encyclopedic Wikipedia article about Bahrain? First off, it's a .com site, which means it's a commercial venture. Whether the revenue comes from Google Ads or selling holidays is neither here nor there. If you look at the other external links in the article, you will see that they are all either government, educational or the BBC, which is a reliable source and therefore acceptable. Other Wiki's (Wikitravel etc.) may have a different policy, but I'm afraid that such material is unacceptable here. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Do you take requests?
I have seen your graphic work, and was wondering if you take requests. Please let me know, thanks!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:03, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Kintetsubuffalo and thanks for the message. I most certainly do take requests, usually via the map workshop, but I'm happy to take one here! Let me know what you would like and I'll do my best to oblige. Best Regards, ► Philg88 ◄ star.png 20:29, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * They're Scouting emblems in need of cleanup. The GL normally doesn't like to take them because they are thought to be akin to logos. Really it's better to have a nice version of the badge than a crude one. Might you be willing? They're not maps, but you do such nice work! Thanks for the fast reply!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 10:11, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm... I thought you were talking about a map. As you say, WP is very fussy about logos etc. and likes to keep them lo-res to avoid copyright problems. That said, please let me know the file names and I'll take a look. ► Philg88 ◄ star.png 04:04, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, you just do such nice work. Just this one, then:

Much as I hate to do this, I'm afraid I have to decline your request. According to the copyright statement on the Boy Scouts logo, "fair use" is claimed on the basis that "The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution." If I were to recreate this (which would be quite a lot of work), the new image would breach this term and thus be a candidate for speedy deletion. Sorry that I can't help in this case.► Philg88 ◄ star.png 06:19, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Huns edit
Hi, I appreciate your messaging me about this, but do look over edits more carefully before reversing them. The last two paragraphs were essentially repeated (probably there was an edit conflict so someone repasted in their edit but didn't delete what it was replacing). I deleted the one that was less well-written and had fewer sources (clearly the earlier of the two). Re-edited it with an explanation and signature. Harsimaja (talk) 16:17, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what happened there. Was that edit removing 2,061 bytes of content by you? It doesn't show your sig (Unicode only) or have a comment attached. Sorry, but from the diff it looked like an arbitrary deletion. I've reverted my edit anyway, no harm done. ► Philg88 ◄ star.png 17:20, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I can see that you may have some misunderstanding about the notability of HSC. I provided some WP:RS at the AFD discussion page to try to demystify it. I hope you may reconsider your vote. Cheers!--Quest for Truth (talk) 11:21, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
