Request
I am unable to find a solution on the "Frontline Magazine" entry. The contrarian edit opinion-maker is not willing to discuss in the "Discussion" page. Do revert back to my edit ( as I have already threshed out the points in the Discussion page). Anything else will be gross injustice to the magazine, which is being subjected to the whim of a vandal-- VrsriniTalk? 12:57, 17 August 2007

Can you please check out the Frontline (magazine) entry again. Despite repeated requests to contribute to the Discussions page, the user, Lib Democrat is not willing to do the same. I am not very familiar with the necessary action to be taken in such a course. Do advise-- VrsriniTalk? 18:57, 16 August 2007

Could you please give your comment at the discussion at Talk:List of political parties by country. Electionworld Talk?  18:57, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

List of Haitians
Thanks for all your great entries! You are truly helpful. I am not Haitian but feel that they should get better coverage than the bad press they get. The list of Haitians is a step forward. Once again, thank you!--XLR8TION 02:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Template:Estonia Presidents
There seems to be an attack going on on Estonia Presidents. A group of editors from Estionia want to remove from Wikipedia any mention of the fact, that Arnold Rüütel was ever President of the Supreme Soviet or President of Estonia before his second term as president in 2001. This disruptive editing started at the article on Lennart Meri but has now also extended to the template. Could you keep an eye on the template. -- Petri Krohn 00:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Frontline
Request adequate action to be taken against a reverter in the Frontline (magazine) entry for using sock puppetry and reverting to a grammatical incorrect and shoddy edit. Vrsrini 08:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for edit-protecting the Frontline (magazine) page. The Vandal (Lib democrat) doesn't intend to thrash out the differences in the discussion page. All the queries made are already answered in the Discussion page. --Vrsrini
 * I am not taking sides in this dispute. The edit war was in violation of WP:3RR. —Sesel 10:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * (A fortnight and one block later) Right, its on my watchlist. I suggest you unprotect; no discussion has taken place. I'll do some rewriting, justify it on the talkpage, and then see if anyone wars without discussion. You can block anyone who wars subsequently. Hornplease 20:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Tommy Watkins
Hey, I'm not sure what to do about the Tommy Watkins article. The inappropriate tone stuff keeps getting reverted back in, and the bottom part of the article is all copy vio. I've been changing it to neutral stuff, but it keeps getting reverted. matt91486 18:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Jeanpaulngoupande.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jeanpaulngoupande.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 10:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I won't even bother uploading more images. They all get deleted because of this bizarre copyright paranoia, and the tags I use become deprecated the next week. —Sesel 19:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Nauru
Looking through the Politics of Nauru article the system of government in this country is fundamentally different from Westminster System. A ceremonial head of state and a ruling Prime Minister is the key feature of W. system while in Nauru "the President is both the head of state and head of government". Bicameral parliament is probably not a must but its more Westminster-like than unicameral legislature (which is the case in Nauru). Why do you think that Nauru should be included in the list in spite of these substantial differences? Zello 22:25, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * See for a list of pages that cite Nauru as a Westminster system. Yes, it is heavily modified because Nauru is a very small country, but the President's role is exactly that of a Westminster prime minister; the only exception is that he has the "head of state" role tacked on. It is not a presidential system because the executive is inextricably linked with parliament and the president has no mandate beyond the life of the particular parliament. —Sesel 22:31, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I understand that it is not a typical presidential system but it's neither a typical Westminster System. Probably this is the Nauruan system of government :) I still don't think it a good idea to mention Nauru among the classic examples of Westminster System. Differences are way too significant. Zello 00:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect Maulana Bhashani
I have redirected Maulana Bhashani to Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani, which is the subject's full name in proper spelling and he was known by that name. I also have tried to fix double redirects associated. Please, take a look if I did it correctly. I am making this request because you have fixed the original redirect for the page, and you seem to be quite active in fixing redirects. Thanks and cheers. Aditya (talk • contribs) 04:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There aren't any double-redirects. Thank you for soliciting my assistance; I try to be as helpful as possible. —Sesel 05:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Michael I of Romania
1. Your reference does not say whether Tuva declared war officially to any Axis power. It only says it "entered" the war. It could have very well done so unoficially, helping its conquerors, the Soviets. In fact, my reference implies that there was only help provided to USSR, not an official war against the Axis: "During the Second World War she did much to mobilize the resources of the republic to help the USSR fight Nazi Germany." (Khertek Anchimaa-Toka) So no official war, only help provided to the USSR. Unless you come up with a clearer reference that Tuva declared official war on any Axis power, and hence fought officially in WWII, your edits to the article will be treated henceforth as vandalism and reported to the appropriate administrators.

2. You are perhaps not aware, but you violated the the three-revert rule, by reverting my changes 4 times in a less than 24 hours period. Please, undo your last revert unless you want me to report you first thing tomorrow morning to the appropriate board for a 24 - 72 hour edit ban. Adversus hereticos (talk) 07:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I won't be lectured by an uppity user with less than 100 edits. You obviously don't care about the facts; you just want a provocation. "It is sad that even Western accounts of World War II fail to mention either Tuva as a participant in the war (soldiers from that independent country fought on the Soviet-German front in 1943-44), or the expansion of the Soviet Union at the expense of Tuva's territory." (Soviet Studies, Vol. 44, No. 5, 1992, 881-895) I can only find two (non-academic) online sources that mentions a formal "declaration of war" (http://www.avantart.com/tuva and http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=105382) but if there wasn't one, there are plenty of wars that were not declared (Iraq War, for one). I suggest that you bug off and let people who can back up their assertions with facts do the editing. —Sesel (talk) 20:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Somebody else pointed out that Tuva was not recognized as an independent state by the world, except for USSR (its creator) and Mongolia (another soviet nation). The list of heads of state engaged in WWII includes only those of independent states. Hence, Tuva does not belong in the article. If you have reliable references that Tuva was recognized during its independence by most world nations, please, past them either here or on the article discussion page. Until then, Tuva is edited out of the article. Adversus hereticos (talk) 05:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've consistently knocked down your arguments, so you keep coming up with other irrelevant nonsense. Tuva was a sovereign state regardless of its diplomatic recognition. —Sesel (talk) 07:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Burkina Faso
Why do you insist that Burkina Faso is a democracy ? Please read a history book, and you will easily find that it is a dictatorship under Blaise Compaoré who seized power in a murderous coup d'état 20 years ago. I would appreciate an explanation. Thank you.-74.79.7.214 (talk) 02:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't insist it's a democracy. I insist that it has a republican form of government. These are different things. Many republics are also dictatorships: Equatorial Guinea, North Korea, Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, and Uzbekistan to name just a few. You certainly can't accuse me of not knowing the history of Burkina Faso: Thomas Sankara is my greatest political hero. I own both editions of Thomas Sankara Speaks. I have studied the Burkinabè Revolution in great detail. If I had the time and resources, I would study and learn the French language just to be able to read Burkinabè documents in their original form. I agree with you wholeheartedly about the character of M. Compaoré's regime, but you or I can't impose our beliefs on Wikipedia articles due to the policy of WP:NPOV. —Sesel (talk) 03:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I am glad to see that you support President Sankara and I apologize for assuming the contrary. However, I must disagree with your statement that a republic can exist without democracy. My dictionary says that a republic is "a political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them", and the dictatorship in Burkina certainly doesn't follow this model. Therefore, I would never describe such a dictatorship as a republic. -74.79.7.214 (talk) 01:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's all about theory. In theory, the Burkinabè people do not have a monarch and select their representatives to govern them. This is a republic. As far as political science is concerned, the word "republic" does not necessarily mean that elections are free and fair. —Sesel (talk) 01:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * While the Compaoré dictatorship claims to allow the people to choose their own representatives in government, this is obviously not the case in practice. It's not about theory, but practice. One can't say that Burkina Faso or Equatorial Guinea is a republic, only that they claim to be republics. To label them republics would be to follow along with the positive masks used by Compaoré and Obiang to cover the reality. The purpose of an encyclopedia in my opinion should not be to talk about what things ought to be, but rather about what they really are. -74.79.7.214 (talk) 01:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No one here can just pick and choose which countries are democratic and which aren't, which are de facto dictatorships and which aren't. I don't think the word "republic" has any particular positive connotation, except maybe in contrast to an absolute monarchy. Every internationally recognized state in the world without a monarch fits the objective criteria that define a republic, with one exception. Therefore the official description of Burkina as a republic here can not change without a significant and highly unlikely shift in Wikipedia policy. —Sesel (talk) 02:30, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Where would you recommend I ask for such a change in policy ? -74.79.7.214 (talk) 22:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There will be no change. It's not going to happen. The entire Wikipedia project is built on the principle of Neutral point of view (NPOV). If you can't accept NPOV, I respectfully suggest that you find another web site for encyclopedia-type information. —Sesel (talk) 22:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Article list
I have been using your list as a guide for finding articles to write about, primarily Mexican politicians or historical figures.

 * Most of the Mexican topics I listed come from Mexico: Biography of Power by Enrique Krauze.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Franciscomaciasnguema.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Franciscomaciasnguema.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Yala name change
I noticed you changed the name of the Kumba Yala article a while back. I'm not so sure about this, because the common name should be used as the title, and the press is apparently continuing to use his old name. I left a note on Talk:Mohamed Ialá Embaló. Everyking (talk) 21:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think we should draw conclusions based on a few months. For now, what he prefers to be called should be respected in my opinion. Many African politicians in the past have converted to Islam as a political tactic, changed their names, and later dropped the adopted names or converted back to their original religion anyway (e.g. Mathieu Kérékou, Jean-Bédel Bokassa). Let's see what happens in 2009. —Sesel (talk) 22:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm half ethnic Bateke and very interested in exploring my background. Thank you in advance, 212.83.17.142 (talk) 13:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of socialist countries
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of socialist countries. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of socialist countries (3rd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Sesel! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 7 of the articles that you created  are  Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:04, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) Joaquín Villalobos -
 * 3) Riyad al-Turk -

 * 5) Don Rojas -
 * 6) Rubén Zamora -
 * 7) Alfred Marie-Jeanne -


 * Sigh. One jackass editor sent the entire project into a paranoid frenzy. —Sesel (talk) 21:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Justin Catayée
Hi. While searching google for references about this politician from French Guyana, I noticed it was part of your wish list. Since english sources were hard to find, some help would be appreciated. Thank you, Comte0 (talk) 14:27, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Quinlan Road
A tag has been placed on Quinlan Road requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
