Hi, why did you revert my change? It would be nice to at least explain in the edit summary...

Federal Judges
I have noticed that on Federal Judge articles, in the infobox section, you have been e9changing the fields from appointer to nominator and changing6rerrer the target article from "List of federal judges appointed by President so & so" to "President so & so". It would only be correct to use the "nominator" field while the judge is awaiting the advice and consent of the Senate. However, once the Senate grants advice and consent, the President "appoints" the individual to office, thus "appointer" is the correct field to use for federal judges that have actually taken office. This is the usage that prevails among federal judicial articles and there is no reason at all to change it. There does not seem to be any reason to change the target link from the "list of judges appointed by" to the main Presidential articles. I would also point out that the very fact that we have articles entitled "List of federal judges appointed by Barack Obama" is primae facie evidence that "appointer" is the correct term.

Advice
Hey, I could use your advice on something. On (for example) this list or others of its kind, is it people or offices being listed? I'm having trouble on this list, where a user believes Elizabeth should be listed once; to which I countered that Elizabeth wasn't what was being listed, but rather the Queen of x... Do you have any thoughts or ideas?  Night w   07:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu
For now Mihai Răzvan Ungureanu does not hold any office. The laws, customs and context in Romania make him just a citizen with a task from the President. Unlike Spain, in Romania the President nominates a candidate and then the Parliament approves the cabinet he proposes or not. If he (the candidate) passes that vote, he then goes to the Presidential Palace, together with the Cabinet, and takes the oath of office. That might or might not happen tomorrow. So PLEASE BE PATIENT! I am sure that, as soon as appropriate, someone will make the necessary changes. --ES Vic (talk) 22:19, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Bernie Machen et al
Greetings, Gator fan.

I have reverted your recent edits to the Bernie Machen article. Rather than continuing a slow-motion edit-war, I thought I would drop by your talk page and explain. You may or may not be aware that there are Wikipedia biographies for all 16 men who have served as president of the University of Florida, and those articles are consistently written, ordered and formatted, including the following:

1. Use of Infobox Person rather than any other infobox(es).

2. All of the three-man before-and-after succession boxes were previously deleted. Instead, the articles utilize a much cleaner navbox that covers the entire 16-man succession, including full names and dates of service. This was also done consistently for the FSU, UCF and USF presidential successions, which overlap with the UF presidential succession.

3. Every article employs consistent internal spacing as permitted by WP:MOS.

4. The correct order of the standard end-of-article sections, per WP:MOS, is: (a) "See also"; (b) "References"; (c) "Bibliography"; and (d) "External links." Each of the 16 articles follows the standard section order per MOS.

Four of the 16 UF presidential articles have already undergone Good Article review and have achieved GA status. Another six are in the works, with the Sledd and Tigert article upgrades already in the works for Feature Article status. There is also a "list of" article regarding the 16 presidents that is linked in the "See also" sections and the UF president navbox. The substantive content of the Machen article, being the current and therefore most controversial subject in the sense of random IP users wanting to make random and often inappropriate additions, is a work in progress. Rather than attempting to reformat the Machen article to your personal preferences (and inconsistently with the other 15 articles and MOS), I would ask that you focus on editing the substance of the Machen article, which clearly needs work. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:32, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Gauck/German presidential election
Hello Therequiembellishere,

There are no other candidates yet. You oversee that three parties in the electoral assembly (Left, NPD, Pirates) have declared they were considering own candidates. Therefore it is almost sure that Gauck will be elected, but an encyclopedia should not speculate on future events, even if the probability is more than 99%. Edit-warring on whether we add the stuff now or in four weeks is however ridiculous. Still I would like you to avoid WP:SHOUTing and re-reverting in the future, especially if you are not even right. --RJFF (talk) 21:39, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Governor articles infoboxes
Just some questions. I see you have been updating a lot of the governor info and succession boxes. I guess for cleanup. But I just was wondering why you felt the need to take out the birthname parameter from the infoboxes? Changing it to just name as you have done causes some of the infobox titles to be wrong. I can understand adding the name field, but please leave the birthname field in because it is a valid field that is used lower down in the infobox. It tends to be more important with female officeholders, I suppose, but wouldn't hurt to have it for male officeholders to list their full birth name, instead of just their commonly known name. Also, I thought infoboxes especially should have the URLs written out, not just shortened to "Official website". Seems pretty uninformative and somewhat redundant to see "Website: Official website" there. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 17:35, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Nick Clegg
Hey! I noticed you reverted one of my edits in Nick Clegg's page. I wouldn't be so sure and claim that his religious stance is inconsequential to his political career. That's simply your opinion (which you are entitled to have, of course). I can argue that the portion in the info box about his three sons is inconsequential, and not his religious beliefs. I may even dare to say that not having the religion portion might generate speculations, who knows. It doesn't hurt anyone to leave the portion there. Anyways, thanks for your time!

Lee Myung-bak's birth place
Hello Therequiembellishere, I have a question on your recent edit in the Lee Myung-bak's birth place. I'm pretty sure it is a very tiny difference in style and like you said it is redundant, but in my humble opinion other South Korean presidents' infobox show they were born in the Empire of Japan (or Japanese Korea) explicitly. Please find the Kim_Dae-jung and Park Chung-hee. Or is Lee's case different from others since he was born in Osaka?

You're a very experienced editor, and I respect your decision to remove the words in question. Hope you could enlighten me on the issue, and please understand that I'm not trying to be nationalistic: I just thought the previous version was consistent with other pages, and even though it's Japan-Korea related(?) topic, it is mostly value neutral. Many Thanks, --- PBJT (talk) 05:06, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

June 2012
Your recent editing history at Baburam Bhattarai shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. SudoGhost 18:09, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Mexico's election
Hello. I'm not sure if you are aware of the Mexican law on elections. The Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) will declare a winner after the district recount and after declaring the election a valid one.

Right now, there is no "president-elect" in Mexico. The electoral process is still going on. Mexican press refer to appearing leading candidate Enrique Peña as "the virtual president-elect", because of the above reasons.  Alex Covarrubias  ( Talk? )  00:20, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Why?
Hi there. I was visiting the article on Rob McKenna, and saw that the order of office was missing from the infobox, in contrast to a version I read a few weeks prior. In trying to find out who made the change and to understand the reasoning behind it, I noticed you've made that same change to many other articles too numerous to list. I won't claim to be an overly active editor, but I do try and keep up with agreed changes to infoboxes, and I haven't been able to find any community agreement saying that we should start not using the order of office in infoboxes where applicable. Therefore, I would like to ask you describe your reasoning for making these changes. Thank you. Redverton (talk) 12:53, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry if it seems like I'm stalking you, but I checked your edits to see if you'd been online, and I find you've continued to remove the order of office from yet more articles. Again, I cannot see what basis you have for doing this, and I must stress that I desire some kind of an explanation.  Needless to say, unilateral changes against consensus are not the way forward.  At the risk of sounding draconian, if you wish to pursue this course of action further without discussion, I shall have to invite scrutiny from other editors.

Succession boxes for judicial nominees
Thank you for your efforts to improve articles concerning various public officials, including nominees for judicial positions. However, I do not believe it is customary to include succession boxes in the articles for individuals who are currently nominated for a judicial position, but have not yet been confirmed for the position. Including these boxes could inadvertently create the misleading impression that these individuals are currently serving, which is especially concerning given that we all know that not all nominees are eventually confirmed. I'd welcome your thoughts on this. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:10, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I actually was coming here to make a similar comment, so I will include it under the previous user's comment. In particular, relating to William L. Thomas and some other federal judge articles, you added lines to the infobox regarding succession, etc., that are not applicable at this time as this individual and the other individuals have NOT been confirmed by the Senate. I have made the appropriate correction to the William L. Thomas article and will correct the others. But you may want to double check in the future as to whether the individuals in question are merely "nominated and pending before the Senate" or have actually been "confirmed" by the Senate. Thanks. Otherwise, good work on the articles. Safiel (talk) 23:12, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Co-Princes of Andorra
Hi, I just noted your changes in Josep Maria Mauri. Some thoughts: the two coprinces of Andorra are referred to as the "episcopal coprince" (i.e. Bishop of Urgell) and the "french coprince" (i.e. President of France) - see for example both of their websites. Therefore to call the personal representative of the Bishop of Urgell in his function as head of state of Andorra as "Spanish representative of Andorra" seems to me misleading. Furthermore, he is not representing Andorra but the Co-Prince. I changed the wording to: "Representativ of the Episcopal Co-Prince of Andorra". I hope you don't mind.

Where a website is listed in an infobox, such as klobuchar.senate.gov, the actual name of the website should be displayed (this, not the link, is the point of including it in the infobox in the first place. Changing the display text to something generic like "Government website" is unhelpful. -Rrius (talk) 19:26, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Your edits
As you're aware, I disagree with your formatting of politicians infoboxes to ween out information I find essential to their articles. On Antonio Villaraigosa's, you claimed: "His wife and child aren't major parts of his political life nor is his residence permanent or relevant to it" as the rationale for deleting information. I feel I should tell you that these aren't just politicians, they're people, and their personal lives are in conjunction with their political ones. I know you have been busy, doing this to many articles, but I feel that this is wrong, so please tell me your side of it. Best, Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 21:33, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Again, I request your reasoning for your edits. You're deleting vital BLP info from articles with the only explanation as "Formatting infobox". I would either like to try to understand how you can justify these edits by Wiki standards, or to get an arbiter to decide if they're right.

 * Well it's understandable not wanting the infobox to be overfilled with info. As for the family, spouses and children have around as much impact on decisions as religion, so why include that? And for politicians, most of them are married and have kids, so it would do well to include this info either for all, or just the few that are divorced or single. And as for the "alma mater" section, I believe it's essential to display what degree(s) they earned, as alma mater is just what schools were attended, and could confuse readers. I hope we can compromise on this. Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 01:45, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Follow-up
Hey again. I'm sure you saw my post earlier entitled 'Why?'. I posted it coming up to two months ago, and when a response wasn't forthcoming, I added a reminder. I presumed you lead a busy life, which is why I allowed such a long amount of time for you to respond to a concern that your edits weren't following established consensus. However, I feel I have given enough time for a response, and I am disappointed you failed to give it. In order to try to understand your lack of explanation for edits were are seemingly against what the community agreed to on the format of infoboxes, I explored some of your edits and talk page. In some ways, maybe a discussion between us two was never going to resolve this, as it is clear concerns have been raised with your infobox edits for sometime now, and I doubt that could have been solved through the interaction of two people. So, what now? As I see it, you have been making comprehensive changes to the infoboxes of various articles; changes which in part have elicited concerns from other editors for a period of years, such as the removal of the order of office, for which you have received no consensus to do. I did not join Wikipedia to police other editors, but considering the scope (covering numerous articles) and the length of time you have been doing it despite concerns raised, I feel I have to report all this to a admin so s/he may look over this situation. I shall leave you a link to the relevant admin when I'm done. As for me, I feel this is unambigiously a case of you editing without concensus, so if I see you have made such comprehensive changes to an infobox elsewhere, I shall restore it back to its approved format. I'm sorry for whatever inquisitorial tone this post may have, but I feel I have no alternative but to speak this way. Redverton (talk) 08:49, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
