Greetings and... please help
Greetings Therequiembellishere. Looking back over the history of Haji Mohammad Chamkani, I see that you made a couple of edits there some time ago, and I'm looking for an editor who might know something about the subject. I'm pretty active over at Wikipedia in Spanish and yesterday I reverted an edit by an IP that claimed the guy was dead but providing a reference that I was unable to translate using Google. So I came over here to see if I could get any further info., but found the same claim, this time unreferenced, and which I removed. The other WPs I've checked make no mention of his death. I have been unable to find any news anywhere on this matter in the English/Spanish language press and as this is a potentially serious BLP issue, I would appreciate any pointers. The Spanish article is here, if it's of any use to you (the reference is "Noticia del fallecimiento"). Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 10:36, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Raúl Grijalva, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Stephen Lynch (politician)
Just a note, you removed the good article tag from Stephen Lynch (politician) in your sweeping infobox edits. Sure it was an accident, just watch out. Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 01:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Deborah Hersman
Thanks for improvements to this new article. Wondering--what is source for her birthdate and place? I was unable to find the info. DonFB (talk) 17:50, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Your edits... again
Hey there, again I'd like to bring up your mass edits to US Reps. The first is the removal of .'s from degree abbreviations (B.A. -> BA; J.D. -> JD). The second of which is the use is ({{small) instead of (<small) because it changes how small the subject will become based upon how much space is available in the infobox.

{{small|(B.A.)}} - {{small (B.A.) - <small

I hope we can figure this out to improve the articles as best as possible. Thanks, Grammarxxx {{sup|(What'd I do this time?)}} 20:37, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Please pay heed to "in use" tags
I had the "in use" tag on Gregory A. Phillips for a good reason, to avoid edit conflicts. You disrupted a major edit I was making, which I fortunately was able to recover. Please do not edit an article with that tag displayed. I always make haste when I use the tag and I will be removing it likely within ten minutes. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 21:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, you will likely have to redo your edit, as it go overwritten when I restored my major edit. Safiel (talk) 21:41, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

US Cabinet nominees
Howdy. We prefer to use the infoboxes for office holders, not Office nominees. Also, Jewell (like Lew & Hagel) is not Secretary of the Interior-designate (that occurs between Senate confirmation & being sworn in), but rather the Secretary of the Interior-nominee. If you check, Rrius is in agreement with me. GoodDay (talk) 19:44, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

I give up (re: Villaraigosa)
Okay, one editor tells me that succession boxes are redundant when you have a drop-down list then, when I remove the box, another editor puts it back. Please get it together. (I've been a Reviewer since June, 2010, but I have never done any reviewing and this sort of thing is one of the reasons.)WQUlrich (talk) 21:57, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

UNL
I notice that at several articles on Nebraska politicians, you've repeatedly changed University of Nebraska-Lincoln to University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Although a Google search indicates that both versions are in use, the former is almost always used in Nebraska. It's used by the school itself and by the student newspaper; it's also the version used by Nebraska's two largest newspapers, the Omaha World-Herald and the Lincoln Journal Star. A search of the New York Times website for ("university of nebraska lincoln"), which should capture both versions, shows an occasional story in which the comma version is used, but the great preponderance of hits show the dashed version; it also appears to be the form used by Reuters. Wikipedia's own article uses the dash rather than the comma in its title. Although a Google search for ("university of nebraska lincoln") indicates that respectable sources use the comma'd version, the dashed version appears to predominate; I'd suggest that we use it, absent compelling grounds for doing otherwise.

Uhuru Kenyatta infobox
Hi Therequiembellishere. I was wondering if we could reach consensus on the details in the Uhuru Kenyatta infobox viz.: An example of the above can be found in your President's infobox: Barack Obama. Thank you for your edits! Ali Fazal (talk) 12:58, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * politicial parties: let's use the acronyms with links to the article instead of the full name of the political party
 * website: use the website template to display his website rather than the words 'official website'

"Formatting infobox/succession boxes"
, as was the summary to changes such as this, is not a legitimate reason to: 1) Removing native_language = zh-hans parameters ( see WP:MOS-ZH; this is required for certain browsers to properly select fonts ). 2) Changing birthplace fields from what is often previously "PLACE, PROVINCE" to "PLACE, CHINA", when not one CCP leader is not Chinese-born, and "PLACE" by itself is often ambiguous, and moreover, vague in such a large land. You would not dare to do the same for, for example, Portland, Oregon and Portland, Maine, would you? Be more careful, lest future such edits begin to verge on intentional disruption.

Infobox edits
Hi there. As you've no doubt noticed, when I said awhile back that I would revert any infobox changes you made that clearly went against established consensus, I was very much committed to doing that. The changes you are making - as have been noticed by other people - are against consensus. But, there's no point in us keeping us this back and forth forever. Last time I put out the olive branch and said we could talk about this, but you never even replied. Please do reply about this now, because I didn't join Wikipedia to engage in this type of stuff. I really just want to go back to writing articles. Look forward to your reply. Redverton (talk) 13:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Senator Ishaq Dar
Dear Therequiembellishere, thank you for your contributions to the page Ishaq Dar. Although most of the info in the introductory paragraphs were from a published profile, I have still deleted them from there as you rightly believed that it sends out a 'so-to-say' bias impression (they however remain as part of the published profile segment). All the information provided about the page have references so you can go through them all if you wish. The country is in a great mess, believe it or not internationally people rely on information about a person on Wiki! Since everything is sourced and referenced; I would appreciate if you dont make changes to stuff like the INFOBOX, "Senator" is his title and his full name is MOHAMMAD ISHAQ DAR. And his Prime Minister is Nawaz Sharif and not Khoso, so adding info like Khoso as his Prime Minister before Sharif is incorrect. My objective is not to favor or be bias, representing one of the most important ministers in the best way possible (without lies of course) is the best I can do to contribute to my country's well-being and believe me portraying (rightly, not without references etc) the Finance Minister of Pakistan as a capable and respectful man (its a fact) is my service to my country as it surely makes a difference! Also I dont know why you keep deleting the political offices held by him at the end of the page. They are mere facts! Please dont delete them, he has held or holds those offices! Thanks.

Prime minister of czech republic
Rusnok today took oath of office but necas will stop acting as prime minister when he form own cabinet so czech republic have now two prime ministers http://www.vlada.cz/cz/media-centrum/aktualne/prezident-poveril-sestavenim-vlady-jiriho-rusnoka-108247/ in czech republic dates of taking office of prime minister and his cabinet vary.

Australia and Rudd
I'm puzzled. What's the point of this edit? There's no such think as a "Prime Minister-designate". And in any case, until such time as he can demonstrate that he has the support of the independents, he can't form govt. and he can't be PM - designate or otherwise. Pdfpdf (talk) 18:00, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It's in anticipation of the event, which may very well end up with an Abbott caretaker government but it seems less likely, judging by the news sources. I'm keeping them hidden because, obviously, it's not a confirmed thing and would violate WP:CRYSTAL but by having it there at all, it helps preclude people from doing just that (replacing Gillard with Rudd and so on). Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:04, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Your aspirations are laudable. I hope your strategy is successful. (Because otherwise, this is all getting a bit tedious.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 18:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Simply hiding the comment doesn't NOT violate WP:CRYSTAL. As Pdfpdf said, there's no such thing as "Prime Minister-designate", so it shouldn't be in the article at all. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 20:19, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Also please be aware that a Leader of the Opposition is traditionally numbered in Australia. And their infoboxes include links to elections they've stood in. I have reverted your changes and invite you to check the consensus on this. Redverton (talk) 02:22, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * In addition, DPMs are also numbered in Australia, and I have reverted your changes there too. Once again, I invite you to check the consensus on these things before you start making changes.  Thanks. Redverton (talk) 02:29, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor
Hey Therequiembellishere :). Thanks so much for your edit here; unfortunately it looks like you accidentally added nowiki tags. This isn't your fault, it's just that the new editor doesn't directly accept markup (like references and links) - although we're looking at ways to make it handle people trying to use markup in a better way. In the meantime, the userguide here should help with how to add things like links and references. Thanks, and let me know if you see any other issues or have any comments. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:31, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that needs to be fixed :). I'm glad to see so many users adapting to the software - I think it has the potential to be far friendlier than markup, once we get the kinks ironed out. Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:36, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Hassanal Bolkiah note on Heads of state list
I saw you reverted my note on the Sultan of Brunei pointing out that he has been Sultan since 1967. The reason I put that note up was to avoid a potential reader thinking Hassanal came to the throne in 1984, but rather that 1 January 1984 saw only a change in Brunei's status.

I note that you have reverted my edit on the above article (without an edit summary).

John D. Vanderhoof
Let's forget our dispute on whether orders should be put into infoboxes in principle for a second - how does putting orders in on John D. Vanderhoof's infobox in particular cause unnecessary stretching? Please be aware that I would, for once, like a response. I always tried approaching you to resolve our dispute, but you would never even bother responding. Redverton (talk) 18:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * To be honest, we really need to have a chat about the orders thing. We've been having this back and forth for months now, and you've never even responded to my entreaties that we actually have a proper conversation about this.  I only want to follow what the community decides - if the community decides not to have orders, I'll help you clear them up.  If the community decides to continue with the current consensus and have orders, there you are.  I'm perfectly up for having something like an RFC on this, but we're not going to resolve this if you're not even going to bother answering.  Otherwise, I'll just keep following current consensus, and put back in orders where applicable.  Believe me, I can keep this up.  The ball is in your court. Redverton (talk) 18:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Ali Zeidana
Please provide your basis for indicating Zeidan's term as Prime Minister has ended. Being kidnapped disables someone from carrying out Prime Minister duties, but it doesn't make someone not Prime Minister. When a U.S. president, for example, is incapacitated, the Vice President becomes Acting President, not President. In the U.S. we have a constitutional basis for carrying out succession. Now, would you please cite a Libyan law or part of its interim constitution which provides orders for succession. Thank you. GnarlyLikeWhoa (talk) 06:52, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

I would implore you that we talk to try to resolve this dispute, but as we know I've been asking that for months and yet no response. I had hoped to have seen the end of this order removal fixation, but unfortunately it seems not. And I see other concerns have been expressed by other people. I can only implore you one more time to please respond, so we can talk about this. Otherwise, I feel no choice but to invite the scrutiny of other editors, and pursue resolution through a higher process. Redverton (talk) 02:48, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
