Peace Dove

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

A brownie for you!

Whpq, can you post here the original text so that I can work from what I had originally added as a reference? I can't start from scratch and it would be going back to square one for me. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 03:17, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No. It was a copyright violation and will not be restored. It is a violation of copyright policy for you to have copied the material into the article, and I would be committing copyright policy violation by restoring it for you. -- Whpq (talk) 03:22, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic–United States relations. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 06:22, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why has Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic–United States relations been cut down to a redirect, and this draft, which is essentially the same as the previous article, is being submitted? This appears to be some sort of unnecessary swap.

Robert McClenon, in what way was this the same as the previous version? The original version had a copyright violation problem and majority of the edits have been struck from public view. This was restored to draft because an editor who didn't have the authority to do so just did a copypaste move instead of a history merge. See the history of the current redirect. Are there concerns that this should be part of Morocco–United States relations regardless of that fact there is a section for this on that article? --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 14:23, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Emptying out categories

Hello, WikiCleanerMan,

Please do not empty out categories as you did with Category:2015 in foreign relations of India, Category:2016 in foreign relations of India and Category:2019 in foreign relations of India. This is called "emptying categories out of process" and can result in your edits being reverted.

If you believe a category should be deleted, renamed or merged, please make a nomination at Categories for Discussion. The process can be a little cumbersome but it's how we deal with categories rather than removing all of the contents and having them deleted for being empty. Please do this is the future. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:05, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
