Hello, I'm TYelliot. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to Energy Charter Treaty, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, TYelliot  &#124;  Talk  &#124;  Contribs  12:35, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Energy Charter Treaty
Hi, Rainard. You have made several edits concerning the infobox in the Energy Charter Treaty article; however, you did not provide any explanation why you would like to change the standrd size of the infobox. Also, the capture parameter is not meant to title the map. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 12:55, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I prefer the discussion to be in one place, so if you not against, you may answer here. Concerning larger map, in this case I propose to move it back to the relevant section out of the infobox. I would also like to say that MOS:FLAG is discouraging usage of flag icons in infoboxes. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 13:11, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Concerning flags - While that may be true, that the MOS:FLAG is discouraging the use of flag icons in the infoboxes it is vital to understand that the origin and nationality of its highest staff is necessary to portray. Such approaches can be seen in other multilateral organizations such as International Energy Agency and World Trade Organization. Concerning the map change -> when you standardized it was uselessly small. Do you have any reasons are arguments to move the Map to the Membership area? I'd prefer it in the Infobox as it is immediately clear to the reader what kind of organization the article is about.


 * I have different opinion concerning flag icons; however, I will not argue about this. Concerning infobox, changing size of the map changes size of the infobox which makes it ugly and dominative in the text. Infobox should be the supporting material, not the main element of the article. I also strongly disagree that map in its standard size is uselessly small. However, in the case of need, one could allways to open the map image to see it in its full size. Beagel (talk) 13:29, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I guess your argument is valid and the map should be standardized.

To request deletion of Daniel Caverzaschi, you should use Articles for deletion. Instructions are given on that page. For new articles, a wp:speedy can be used, but this has been there too long, I believe. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 03:56, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.
