Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

''I don't know why you keep ignoring previous requests to use edit summaries, but you seriously need to get into the habit of using them, especially when making major edits to articles. Not using an edit summary can make people skeptical about your contributions.''

Edit summary content is visible in:
 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list and
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:24, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Therequiembellishere. I just want to ask you about your plans regarding the List of heads of state of Afghanistan article. When do you plan to start working on it? As I said before, I'll be happy to help you there, as much as I can, once you put the article in place. I'm sure that your draft version of the article will need some work (putting back the party colors, etc), but generally speaking I don't have some major objections about it. Also, please think once again about the inclusion of President of Afghanistan in the merging - I still prefer to keep it as a separate article. --Sundostund (talk) 16:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Edit summaries
I see you've been told this several times already: please use them—especially if you insist on making an unintelligible mess of your diffs, as you did here. Thank you! Rebbing talk  00:49, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Considering how the previous version truly shook the order of sections out of sync with the box itself under the pretense of "Added image found on Wikipedia commons", I have to say calling my restoration of that box as "an unintelligible mess" is a stretch. Therequiembellishere (talk) 00:52, 13 March 2016 (UTC)


 * By "an unintelligible mess," I meant that it wasn't possible, from the Wikipedia diff, to easily see what had changed. I ran both versions through a sort function and a space-stripping function, from which I gathered that the only substantive change was the divorce parenthetical; the ordering of the infobox parameters doesn't affect how they display on the page. I have no objection to you reordering the parameters in your favorite style, but it ought to be explained in the edit summary—along with the fact that you also changed the content (the parenthetical), which is absolutely not clear from the diff.

List of people named in the Panama Papers
Sorry for the edit collision in this article. Would you like to consider using Template:In use, so that nobody interrupts your merging work in this article? - Daniel (talk) 23:53, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * , it's all good, I'm personally fine with working around other people's edits. I'm basing my edits mostly off of what's on the page already and streamlining the info, that why the total removal was more difficult. I also wouldn't want to shut out others with "in use" because I'm sure people who have more insightful/additional from outside what currently on the page are surely needed additions. Since I'm just try to format and link more directly. Therequiembellishere (talk) 23:59, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, about your doubts on Eduardo Cunha.

Irina Bokova
Hi. I noticed your edits on Irina Bokova page. You say that you don't speak Bulgarian, therefore you reverted the changes I made. Please, use Google Translate, which will give you the following results for the referred images on her page from a newspaper from 1990: Message from the President to employees of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the courts, prosecutors, and NIS NGOs, and below it, Zhelev is paid to employees of the Defense and Interior in conjunction with the newly adopted law on depoliticisation of employees, which he said is a prerequisite that will help build a new image of Bulgaria. I think even that is enough. We don't have the newspaper in electronic form, as it was published in 1990, when the web was still not created. There's more images from that time, for example here. You can also use Google Translate for that one. And, by the way, all this is explained with details in the section Childhood and early years on Mrs. Bokova's page. Hope that's helpful.

George Chouliarakis infobox
Hello, I realise you get a lot of complaints about your edits to infoboxes, and rarely respond to them, but I was wondering if you could answer this question about the George Chouliarakis page. Why have you removed, twice, the office of 'Alternate Minister of Finance' from the infobox? That is his current ministerial role and deserves inclusion. Without it, the page looks as if he served as Minister of Finance and then left the government. I am unaware of any precedent or guideline that would involve the removal of this position from the infobox. Thanks. --Andrewdwilliams (talk) 11:08, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Just a note to ask that you use the talk page to discuss the changes to the article, rather than trying to force them in through edit warring. You are at the limit of WP:3RR, and I strongly advise you not to cross that line, which would be tiresome for everyone, not least you. The talk page would be the best place to lay out any explanation for the proposed changes, and allow people to consider the arguments without the heat that an edit war always generates.

Ruth Davidson
I've made a few minor tweaks to the infobox per other articles on Members of the Scottish Parliament. The 1 of 7 regional MSPs needs to stay since all MSP article infoboxes are displayed in this way. MSPs in Scotland are elected in two ways, through individual constituencies, and via a regional list, and it is usually appropriate to show that. If you think that shouldn't be the case then you should open a discussion at somewhere like WP:SCOTLAND or WP:UKPOLITICS. Also it's probably not a good idea to add UK as country of birth to the infobox in this instance. There is a lengthy and ongoing debate on nationality with regard to the UK and its constituent countries, and it is generally accepted that changes of this nature should not be made without a good reason. Hope this helps. This is Paul (talk) 16:10, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Anna Soubry & Joyce Anelay
Although both Anna Soubry & Baroness Joyce Anelay held (or hold) senior ministerial rank in recent (and current) UK governments, neither woman ever has achieved a cabinet position or rank. In their respective ministerial roles, they were (or are) invited to attend cabinet meetings, but that still does not qualify them as members of the cabinet. If you consult the relevant wiki pages for UK cabinets under David Cameron & Theresa May, you'll see this to be the case. Or if you prefer, you can consult any non wiki site such as the UK governments own website or click this link: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36785814. It is therefore wholly correct that neither woman should be included in the category 'Female members of the U.K. Cabinet' and you should refrain from reinstating the correct removal of that category from their wiki pages. 2600:1010:B06E:CB85:7022:CCBA:1776:C53F (talk) 05:51, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Reverting edit
Hi! Given WP:DONTREVERT, why did you revert my change to the layout of the Template:Members of the European Council in a wholesale manner without discussion? I understand the point of the previous layout, but I thought it was unclear. Nowhere on the page itself does it indicate that it refers to the last election won by the party. The page itself is titled Members of the European Council, as opposed to the Council of the European Union, where parties and elections are more relevant than the individuals themselves. Therefore I think it more appropriate to list those elections relevant to the person named on this table.

I appreciate the work you have done to date on the page, but Wikipedia does not have a status quo bias. If there was a discussion about this, and your layout is preferred to mine, that would be fair enough. I just don't see why you would simply revert an edit made in good faith without such a discussion. Best --William Quill (talk) 07:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Please Read
You've been told before to use edit summaries for your contributions (though still often don't use them anyway for some reason) and not to use unhelpful piping per WP:Piped link. Per that page, please DO NOT use pipes to hide state names in links and DO NOT use them to hide away people's middle names or initials. Hiding away state names in links also goes against WP:Manual of Style/Linking. It serves no real benefit to readers and needlessly takes up article space. There is no good reason to keep doing that and you really need to change your habits. I don't know how often you need to be told so, but hopefully this does it.

Party leader succession boxes
In regards to leadership succession boxes, the term Democratic/Republican Leader has always referred to the Majority/Minority Leader, depending on the majority party. This is because the Majority/Minority Leader is an officer in their respective conference. The Speaker is an officer elected by the full House. Democratic/Republican Leader refers to who leads the party on the floor of the House.2601:246:C502:4080:223:6CFF:FE93:8528 (talk) 18:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
