OECD map

Estonia is now a full member of the OECD. This map should reflect that. Just letting you know in case you feel like updating it. Cheers. Pristino (talk) 02:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

national electoral calendar

I see your point about the cook is., but you didnt respond about the american "colony" election from nov 7. I removed them to the local as its not a state by any stretch. are you okay with it?(Lihaas (talk) 17:15, 21 December 2010 (UTC)).[reply]

Our usual standard for inclusion was "if it's got an ISO 3166 code, it's on the list". Why do you want to change that? —Nightstallion 14:15, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

EU listing/ranking

I know that in the past there were multiple discussion about whether the EU should be mentioned (with an — instead of number) in "List of countries by GDP/area/population" and in other similar cases (infoboxes, templates, etc.) that deal with states, territories, etc. The arguments against that I remember were mostly around "EU is not a country/state" and "If we list EU, then we should list AU and other organizations" (referring to continental unions or trade blocs or international organizations in general).

Recently I had some related discussions (point 2 here, here) and also the related issue here about the "total number of entities conducting diplomatic relations/recognition".

Basically here I tried to summarize the arguments in favor of listing it (and setting a criteria for listing other organizations/unions).

I write to you, because I think that this issue should be addressed at some central place - for all lists/rankings, so that we don't have to go over the same discussion separately at each place. Could you arrange such discussion or point me where to raise the issue? Alinor (talk) 10:28, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mh. Some relevant WikiProject, like WP Countries? —Nightstallion 11:19, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notes 3.3.2.1

Hey Nightstallion. I think your paragraphs around secession etc. may need updating/editing:

"Southern Sudan is allowed to hold a referendum on independence from Sudan in 2011, according to the Comprehensive Peace Treaty signed on 9 January 2005. Simultaneously, status referenda will be held. These include Abyei (North Kurdufan-Northern Sudan with special administrative status or North Bahr el Ghazal-Southern Sudan), South Kurdufan (join Northern Sudan or Southern Sudan) and Blue Nile (join Northern Sudan or Southern Sudan). (cf. Image:Regions of Sudan.png)"

doktorb wordsdeeds 21:56, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know, but I was gonna wait until a.) we have final results and b.) Abyei and the two states have been allowed to decide what they are going to do. —Nightstallion 22:58, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Zawiyah

It looks like the situation is just like in Fallujah or Vukovar where most of the fighting will be over, but sporadic pockets of resistance will still put up a fight for another few weeks before they are all cleared.EkoGraf (talk) 23:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's the case, actually. From what I've read, the fight is still not over and the democrats still hold the city centre. —Nightstallion 00:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, you didn't get what I was saying, I ment was - Yes there is still ongoing fighting but it will probably be over in a day or so but after that there will be clean-up operations house-to-house, and so the battle will probably not compleatly end for a few more weeks. And they're royalists actualy not democrats. :) EkoGraf (talk) 02:52, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, okay.
I don't think so; not one of the revolutionaries has even mentioned the former king... —Nightstallion 09:15, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actualy they have been waving his picture quite a lot and the flag they are using is the old monarchy flag. :) I personaly think they themselves don't know what kind of government they want if they manage to get rid of Gaddafi, because they are made up of different opposition factions with different political aggendas. EkoGraf (talk) 17:34, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The old monarchy flag is used because it isn't Qaddafi's, and the TNC has stated it wants a democratic republic. —Nightstallion 18:51, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ras Lanuf

What do you suggest we do? Since it looks like Gaddafi may retake Ras Lanuf in a day or so and there has been fighting there for the last four days, should we create an article named Second battle of Ras Lanuf or should we reopen the old one and say when the rebels took it it was phase one and now, two days later, it's phase two?EkoGraf (talk) 17:10, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reopen it. —Nightstallion 11:40, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's been a week since the discussion started on the renaming of the article, and a majority concenssus is to rename the article to Battle of Ra's Lanuf. Only two editors opposed. Could you move it, because I only nominaly know the procedure for doing that? EkoGraf (talk) 22:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'll do it. —Nightstallion 10:47, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Brega

Could you also move Battle of Brega to First Battle of Brega, since I created Second Battle of Brega today? Unlike Ra's Lanuf where it was only one day between phases these two battles don't warrant to be in the same article since it was 11 days between the two different battles or phases.

Padania needs an admin

Hi Nightstallion. Since January, User:Enok has made huge changes to the Padania article. Some were good, others were not accepted by other users (at least four: Filippo83, Keith 64, Dans and I, plus one or two IP users). We had a long time appeasing Enok and accepting his advices, as the article's history and the talk testify. For some strange reason he continues to remove the material he doesn't like from the article. Filippo83 and I started to rollback him, but nobody of us wants an edit war. Keith 64 showed up in talk page to urge him to stop. In the last case Enok removed opinion polls and the Padanian flag proposed by Lega Nord. I rollbacked him, but things can't go on like this. The discussion is too long and I don't want you to read it all, but can you show up and calm down Enok? --Checco (talk) 04:41, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Constituent Assemblies and Conventions

In contrast, I am very strongly against stating it - I think it makes the templates look odd. The reason I have always included them without a note is because in almost every case I know about the Constituent Assembly acted as a parliament once elected. Nevertheless, if they are to be marked, perhaps using an asterix and the |below bar would be a nicer solution? Number 57 20:24, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mh, yes, I could live with that; I, on the contrary, know mostly of Constituent Assemblies and Conventions who did *only* the constitution drafting while the regular parliament existed side-by-side, but I suppose back in the days when new nations were founded it was the way you described it.
So, marking them with an asterisk? Would you make the necessary changes? —Nightstallion 08:06, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No problem - I'll do it in the coming week. Cheers, Number 57 08:13, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation


Hello Nightstallion! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

  • If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

I know. I still hope some of the more anti-monarchy countries (looking at you, Jamaica) take this opportunity to abolish it. —Nightstallion 09:09, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I believe, that ALL dominions will become a Republics: at first Black Dominions (I think, that they will become a Republics during one year after EII death), and than White Dominions (Australia, New Zealand and Canada). I think, that Republican Constitution for Solomon Islands will be adopt not earlier, than 2013. But Jamaica can to proclaim Republic on August, 6th, 2012.
