Algeria might have seceded, French Algeria did not. Your edit makes it sound like French Algeria seceded in its own right. Plus, I really suggest you read WP:BRD to avoid possible edit conflicts. —Brigade Piron (talk) 16:58, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

McMurdo Dry Valleys
Hi. Sorry I didn't check the talk page. The might be a drier place than the Atacama Desert, but for sure McMurdo Dry Valleys are not the case. Is there any reason to suspect that this reference is wrong? Because 100 mm per year is far, far, far more than what some areas of Atacama receive --Jbaranao (talk) 15:21, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, very very interesting. In that case: a) It would be good if you could explain that in the article of the valleys, and b) I will add, if you agree, a phrase in the Atacama article in the vein of "an extremely local area of the McMurdo Dry Valleys" --Jbaranao (talk) 16:06, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

I do alright, thanks. And I also looked at the external resources cited. I think it makes sense and connotes the meaning intended as such. I did mention I agree with you that the way the dispute was framed up initially was not the best most professional way to go. I'm sorry you had to deal with that at the outset.

Building Holy Roman Empire categories
I am in the process of trying to build Holy Roman Empire categories. I am currently under an edit restriction that makes it so I cannot edit anything found to be related to a topic "broadly defined". That topic broadly defined makes it unallowed to edit a large number of artists and musicians, especially those who worked before 1800, because a lot of them have at least some works that fall under that topic, even though the vast majority of their works do not. I am not sure we need the 18th-century German musicians, 18th-century German writers, 18th-century German artists and related categories at all. Here is where it gets interesting. Both the Habsburg Monarchy and the Kingdom of Prussia in 1780 crossed the boundary of the Holy Roman Empire, having areas both in and out of the Holy Roman Empire. In East Prussia, far beyond the limits of the empire most people considered themselves German. In the Habsburg Monarchy, you had many ethnic Germans far into Transylvania and in areas that are today in Serbia among other places. You also had the Duchy of Schleswig, beyond the limits of the empire, although it appears that the rate of speaking German there rose a lot after 1800, and that few there would have considered themselves German in 1780. I am thinking though for now just building the From the Holy Roman Empire cats, and letting other cats stand will be the least controversial move.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:36, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Princesses
With how many people in the Holy Roman Empire held the title prince/princess, and how there territories were often much smaller than Dukes, Counts or Electors, I am wondering if in that case this is more a categorization by shared name, than anything else. Maybe we should sort Holy Roman Empire title holders not grouped by specific title, just as general nobility, and not worry about what their actually title was. What do you think? I think some of these prince/princess categories come from the idea that this is the title for children of a king, who is clearly an independent monarch. However there were lots of places, or various levels of independence, that were called principalities. A large number of them were statelets in the Holy Roman Empire.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:24, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
