On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Location Maps for European countries|Location Maps for European countries]].<br/>New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the ''European continent'', and for countries of the ''European Union'' exist in two versions. From [[November 16]], [[2006]] till [[January 31]], [[2007]], a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.<br/>As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before [[February 5]], [[2007]] a survey started that will be closed at [[February 20]], [[2007]] 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.<br/>Please note that since [[January 1]], [[2007]] all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of [[February 4]], [[2007]] the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.<br/>Please read the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Location Maps for European countries|discussion]] (also in other sections [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#New maps for Middle East|α]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Location maps (again)|β]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Middle East Maps|γ]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#A final solution for the entire maps issue?|δ]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Stop forcing map change|ε]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Gallery of different map formats|ζ]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Greece|η]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Comments from a dazzled Greek|θ]]) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the '''[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries#Final survey|presentation of the currently open survey]]. You are invited''' to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.<br/>There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote ''for'' one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — [[User:SomeHuman|SomeHuman]] <span style="font-size:.87em;">[[7 Feb]][[2007]] 20:26 (UTC)</span> |

Please, participate in the above discussions and express yourself. |

:You are absolutely right about the Freddo, and Nestlé. My bad. Sorry. And thanks for correcting the picture as well, never thought it from that angle. However at least for frappé (and to some extend with freddo) there are many that have connected it with Nestle. Maybe you should comment on that.

While i am not going to fight your re-opening of the RFCN on [[User:Mcedonia]], in the future, I would appreciate you expressing your concerns to me before taking such action. While not necessary, it is generally courteous. Secondly, I stand by my originial decision. [[WP:RFCN]] is supposed to be based on username policy. So far, I have not seen any compelling disallow arguments based on polciy, only based on the possible conflict of interest with the edits. I do the same when closing afds with allwos or deletes not backed by policy. [[User:Chrislk02|-- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider)]] 20:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC) |

::[edit conflict] You are mistaken in both accounts. RFCN cannot be but reverted immediately due to high traffic of the page, otherwise there is no archive. I'd have contacted you immediately to let you know, of course. Secondly, I have explained why policy applies, through both [[precedent]] and argumentation on "[[WP:U|inflammatory]]".

:First off, i am persoonalyl offended at your claims against me. I have no more of a stake in this than many others that I close. I, as well as 2 other users very active in [[WP:RFCN]] have agreed that this should be closed because it is very unlikley that a consensus to disallow will form. I have been involved in many of these and it only goes downhill from here (I.E., the same people argue the same points around in cirlces and get nowhere). As of your claim that there were more disallow than allows, I beg to differ. At the time of closure, there were 3 disallows that I counted and 5 allows that i counted. You have not proven the name is inflamatory to a majority of people and not even proven as to why it would be inflamatory. You seem to have a personal agenda against the person in question which also led me to believe a closure was appropriate. I am sorry that you feel I am rouge and have double standards, however if you look at my history of closing them I always use the same standards.

::Don't take it personally Chris, I didn't mean anything against you (unless you find it rational to insist against the will of five users so far that is). "Unlikely" is an estimation, which is subjective. Will you please let it evolve in peace? We're confusing people there with our dispute. I'm sure you've understood what I'm saying, as I've understood your position. Both of us repeating will only make it worse for the rest. Let's agree that we disagree, and we see how it goes. OK?

:I have no problem agreeing to disagree. However, there are not 5 people who are for disallowing. The most recent makes it 4. There will have to be a clear consensus based clearly on policy before anybody at [[WP:RFCN]] gets usernameblocked. I am just letting you know that. I have closed many many many of these. It is noithing against the name, I dont even have a personal preference either way, my only preference is based on my interpretation of the policy.

:::Just for the record, consensus is not based on a percentage either way. It is based roughly on that (at least for me). It is based on who is involved, the wuality of the arguments base don policy and such. For me to close this as disallow, there would probably have to be 15+ people who all came in with a strong oppose vite based soundly on policy.

Precedent because all other countries are blocked (which makes ''this'' [Jesus-THIS?] the only one) and policy because it is an inflammatory issue that has escalated to the highest possible authority for name disputes: the [[United Nations]]. Now RFCN is many steps below the UN, don't you agree? Look, I think this is a clear case which is also coupled by abuse. Please let others comment as well, and we see.

By the way, for your edification and amusement, here's list of user names we currently have. In my eyes, they are all equally poor taste, but there's no policy against them. For me, the fact that "Macedonia" is the name of the country whereas the others use the name of the group isn't much of a difference. The issue is: any user who feels that the role and identity they want to project on Wikipedia is so closely bound to their role and identity as a member of a certain ethnic group or nation that they must trumpet that connection out through the choice of their name, has a problem with what Wikipedia is all about. It's like waving a big flag with "I'm a single-purpose POV-pushing account" written on it. And that's exactly what most of these are. No difference whether they call themselves "X-ia" or "X-ian" or "X-ese patriot" or "X4ever" or "X 4life" or "X-ian pride" or "proud X-ian" or "X warrior" or whatever.

:*''Usernames which falsely imply a Wikipedia function, such as [[WP:ADMIN|adminship]], bureaucratship, or a [[WP:BOT|bot]], are eligible for '''Speedy Disallow'''. Users with such usernames may be blocked immediately by an admin without going through RfCN; any RfCN opened on such a username will be eligible for early closure.'' |

:On a random note about the speedy disallows of names with bot in them. Some people bring questionable ones to [[WP:RFCN]]. The other day, we had one "fattabbot". It ended in but but abbot is a name.

|||
(Reply to message on my talkpage) OK I take your point, it's probably not worth trying to quantify all the situations in which SNOW might be applied to an RfCN. As Chris points out above, the reason we have RfCN, rather than just blocking every dodgy username at first sight, is because mistakes can be made, and not all usernames that appear questionable are actually in direct violation of [[WP:U]]. How about a simpler provision, probably under [[WP:RFCN]] rather than [[WP:U]]: |
|||
*''If at least 5 users have commented on an RfCN and there is a unanimous consensus to Disallow, then the closing admin may exercise his or her judgement in closing the RfCN early. This should be applied in cases where there is little or no doubt as to the impropriety of the name.'' |
|||
I'm not saying that the above should necessarily be added to the policy, but I think it's a good guideline for RfCN users and admins to follow. I might write a WP essay on it. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Walton_monarchist89|<font color="Purple">'''Wal'''</font>]][[User talk:Walton_monarchist89|<font color="silver">'''ton'''</font>]] <small><sup><font color="Purple">[[WP:BRoy|Vivat Regina!]]</font></sup></small></font> 18:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC) |

For the moment, see that you are quoted in his userpage among those who ''"have also acted on behalf of Wikipedia to make your voices heard against the Greek fabricators who continue to spread anti-Macedonian and facist propaganda on this encyclopedia".'' This is beyond words. I rest my case. [[User:NikoSilver|Niko]][[User talk:N!|Silver]] 10:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC) |

FP you are constantly deleting all my evidence! How am I supposed to show people that I'm no elephant? [[User:NikoSilver|Niko]][[User talk:N!|Silver]] 10:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC) |

:Also, for everybody, please check the policy that it clearly states "'''potentially''' inflammatory or offensive". I remember someone (Mel Etitis, I think) in that RFCN said that frequently "it is the offendee who is at fault". Well, can an Eskimo say that we "are wrongly offended" when while receiving our hospitality he slept with our wife? (typical custom of the Eskimos) Are [[Macedonia naming dispute#Self-Determination|1 million protesting "offendees" in Thessaloniki]] "wrongly offended"? My point is that [[ethics]] uses subjective criteria. What is offensive for one, may not be for another. It is really silly to suggest that people are "wrongly offended", because there is no objective definition for wrong and right.

Hey buddy, you're new to me. How are you doing? So you just happen to see my contributions on 5-6 articles and decided that you found faults with every single one - no discusion of course - and just reverted cause you felt like it huh? OK. cool. I know who I am dealing at least. --[[User:Oguz1|Oguz1]] 19:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC) |

::::Consensuses are reached globally for certain things. There's a throughout-wiki policy that all relevant names are listed. Also, consensuses are reached by users in the edit summaries and in the edits themselves. When you're outnumbered, it is ''you'' that has the burden of proof to convince your edits are ok.

::::: It's not up to me to disprove claims that are unsourced and inserted originally by Anonymous people (as in Ordu, and Şebinkarahisar). If someone wants to defend that claim, they need to bring me NPOV and unbiased sources..not the other way around, that's ridiculous. Can you imagine peple having to disprove every little claim made on a page? this thing would explode in 3 seconds. Besides, it's WP Rules and you know that. There's no such thing as concencuson facts. 2+2 always equals 4, not 5. Why would you want to revert to a version made by anonymous version (Şebinkarahisar) anyway? Do you mind answering that?

NikoSilver is currently working his ass off in real life and has decided that it is about time his long RealLifeBreak in favor of WP was interrupted. He will make frequent brief RealLifeBreaks, but you won't see him as much as you may be used to. (Yeah, he knows you're better off!) |
|
NikoSilver would like to thank everybody with an opinion about The TruthTM on this page, undeterred about those monitoring this page and uniting to prevent its enforcement. Keep sending that valuable feedback please. |

Remarks
[edit]- I will post responses below your comment right here, so "watch" my page (or select to watch whatever you edit in your prefs). Same I will expect from you when I message you. Otherwise, continuity is completely lost.
- You can spy if you want... Only morons don't use e-mail when they want to conspire...
- My e-mail application actually has a bell thingy. I'll read them faster if you don't message me as well that you sent me one. Actually, it'd be more alarming to send me an e-mail, telling me you've left a message in my talk! :-)
- This talk is being automatically archived. All comments that are older than 10 days are removed and placed in the respective archive. In the rare case I don't respond to a comment, please remind me so.
- Sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~) that produce your name and the datestamp. The automatic archive doesn't work if it doesn't see a timestamp!
