Olympic issue with editor

Thanks for your neutral help , but it seems the criteria that the IOC use in realtion to NOCs has been total missed by the other editor . Your example , Puerto Rico and Jnestorius example of Palestine - which isnt even recognised as a terriroty or political entity yet , I taught would show where the by-laws in the charter dont always flow with convention . He has edited the same phrase in the OCI page , I edited out and guess what , yep its back . I am not going to edit again until this issue is resolved - that would just create too much discussion on the one issue . Murry1975 (talk) 09:46, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

{{Infobox Country Olympics}}

Hi,

Now that the drama has died down a bit, do you mind unprotecting? I'm sure Headbomb can be persuaded to discuss any future controversial edits to the template on talk, and there's no history of disruption which really warrants protection at this time.

Guyana

Hi, can you update Template:Country data Guyana with this Flag of Guyana, I mean I can use {{flagicon|British Guiana}} but for example:

• {{flagathlete|[[Keevil Daly]]|GUY|1906}} ==> Keevil Daly (GUY),

it doesn't work for this template. Mohsen1248 (talk) 13:05, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

This is to let you know that an ongoing poll is taking place to move Burma to Myanmar. This note is going out to wikipedia members who have participated in Burma/Myanmar name changing polls in the past. It does not include banned members nor those with only ip addresses. Thank you.

French Algeria

Hi, any chance of creating {{Country data French Algeria}} (French flag) for use in the List of shipwrecks in 1939 article? Mjroots (talk) 10:18, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Lists of Russians

Per your comments here, would you care to comment at Wikipedia:Bot requests#Help removing a template. There is an editor who seems to believe we need this template at the bottom of every article about every Russian. Thank you. 198.175.175.57 (talk) 23:40, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Hidden sortability

Hey mate. I don't know if anyone has asked you this before, but is it feasible to have a hidden {{sort}} key written into templates like Template:Country data Republic of the Congo, so that they sort under "C" rather than "R" in wikitables? Nightw 05:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Question about flag copyright

I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I was trying to create a country data template for Nassau County, New York. The flag is currently marked as fair use, but I'm not sure if that is the correct status because the flag has existed since 1899 (according to [1]). This would make the image essentially a faithful reproduction of something with an expired copyright. Do you know if this is a valid analysis in terms of how Wikipedia deals with flag copyrights? Thanks! Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 03:51, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I went ahead and made a definitely-free version to replace the maybe-free one, just to be safe. I guess my question has been mooted, but I'm still curious as the copyright treatment of flags and seals seems to be wildly inconsistent within Wikipedia.

Arkeia Software article

Dear Andrwsc,

About 1-2 months ago, this article had an advert template placed on it that I believe may no longer be necessary. I have since revised the article, removing (I hope) any unnecessary mentions of the company name, excessive product details, etc. When you have a chance, could you possibly look at the article and let me know if my changes have been sufficient to warrant removal of the template? Thank you!Michael Leeman (talk) 23:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

West Germany country data

Hi! Is it possible that you include the rugby union code ( | link alias-rugby union = Germany national rugby union team ) to the Template:Country data West Germany to avoid redirections? I'm asking you because the West Germany national rugby union team does not exist (it redirects to the Germany national rugby union team) and that template already has the codes for tennis, basketball, football, ice hockey, etc. Apart from the fact I can't edit it myself. Thank you in advance! Tibullus ^{call me} 13:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
