Infoboxes
Unfortunately not - it's a crap system by whoever designed it. However, the way I have found to resolve it - if you put one in and it comes out as the redlink with the horrible coding around it, click on the red link, and then just edit that page to be the short name of the party - it will then make the link work properly. This is one I did recently to make a Romanian template work. Number 57 12:28, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Maldivian presidential election, 2012, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republic Square (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.

Azawad map
Hello Lihaas. Thanks for the nice note on my talk page. I always try to help the more obscure and lacking parts in Wikipedia, but I got more interest in the Azawad subject after I read up on it to make the map you requested. I see you added a follow-up to your Map Workshop request, but I didn't really understand it. Can you be more specific as to what map you want to modify and what exactly to do with it? You can reply here or on the Map Workshop page. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 04:42, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Football Manager 2012
Hi Lihaas, quick question about Football Manager 2012. It looks like you put a copyright notice up on the page some days ago. There's nothing on the talk page or on the notification page for potential violations about why. Could you shed some light? The article looks like it contains some of the release info from the developer but that can be found on any website where games are reviewed, discussed or sold and should be fair use.

American Third Position Party
I took this to NPOVN a couple of days ago, but the IP most active (now at 6RR) just discussed COI issues he sees with Zionist sources & editors. Note this [http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t870653/] discussion at Stormfront. Dougweller (talk) 10:43, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, replied to you on my talk page but forgot I'd given you the url. This is not a dispute that can be settled through discussion with A3P members who are going to insist that there is no way the article can say white supremacist.

Re: Belize GA
Hello Lihaas,
basically I am sympathetic to your idea, but I am afraid that the prose is a bit slim. Yesterday I failed to find more material covering reactions to or analysis of the election. Only election result tables don't make a GA yet. But if we do more research and tap some new sources, I am up for it. --RJFF (talk) 10:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
This discussion is closed, as ALT5 is promoted. So I don't think subsequent edits should be made. Any problems, do not use that template. Instead, let's use the Talk:A Young Man's World. As for the infobox, I did what you asked, I summarized what is already cited in the article, and should there be citations in the infobox? By the way, from Wikipedia:DYK#Images: "Pictures and videos accompanying the DYK hook". There have been no videos or pictures accompanying the hook. Non-free images may still be allowed, as long as they are not used for the main page. --George Ho (talk) 19:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

"rubbish german wiki (they use outr well slourced edits and sourfe standard to claim ive had edit there)"
Dear Lihaas, just to keep a right view on this:
- Your only edit in the German article was introducing a typo.
- Until yesterday, there were even most of the candidates missing in the English article.
- Most sources in German article are directly from Timorese media, others are international medias and those have been mostly first in German article.
- The English article is still incomplete. No informations about most of the candidates, nothing about the arson at CNE and STAE and nothing about the changing of the election law, just before the death of candidate Amaral, the first president of Timor-Leste.
- Names are written incorrect, links to existing English articles are missing.
At all, there is no reason for you to be as rude. Don't forget, we are all working for the same project and the "Expand German"-sign is an advice for you to find further informations. It is not affront for English authors. Please keep this in mind. Greetings from Germany, --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 20:39, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- I saw my contribs there, there is stuff i never added and it was recently done. Agreed it has a better listing of canddiates its where i took the list from) but the list is apparently wrong as there are only 12 candidates now, that has 13 even after the death. Im not being ude...but anyway dint read about this "arson at CNE and STAE and nothing about the changing of the election law, just before the death of candidate"
will replace the tagIve added some stuff, the law stuff is not verifiable on german wiki (as are many links there) and links to a weblog on google search so ive not added that.(Lihaas (talk) 06:10, 19 March 2012 (UTC)).
- Very easy to find informations about the arson. Just google arson, Timor, election and you will find for example this. It is as easy to find further references about the change of article 26. If you don't like the German references, you can use the informations for searching better references. Anyhow, most sources are press articles, the links mosty international media. I don't know, which one you believe as Google-Blog. Anyhow, several Timorese institutions are using blogs as homepages, even parties like FRETILIN.
- The list is correct. There had been 14 persons, who wanted to become president. 13 were accepted by STAE and CNE, one of them died. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 07:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Okey thanks will ook at the law change...also which candidate was rejected by CNE?(Lihaas (talk) 07:44, 19 March 2012 (UTC)).
- Cant find stuff on article 26...can you provide a link or add the content to the page?(Lihaas (talk) 08:27, 19 March 2012 (UTC)).
- Okey thanks will ook at the law change...also which candidate was rejected by CNE?(Lihaas (talk) 07:44, 19 March 2012 (UTC)).
- Angela Freitas of PT was rejected, because not all of her supporter signatures were accepted. [1], [2]. She is now supporting FRETILIN [3].
- Changing of Law: [4], The law before changing
--J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 08:46, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, article seems to be up to scratch with your help. Just need a source for Araujo, JL Guterres and Tillman. the german source is to a forum which is not RS here)...and the CNE website is awful at updating.(Lihaas (talk) 09:41, 19 March 2012 (UTC)).
Oh, Forum Haksesuk is not a "Forum" in general meaning. It is a NGO in East Timor. But no problem: STAE published the official order of the candidates at the ballot paper. All candidates are listed there: [5] You see, there is everything at the German article. ;-) --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 11:27, 19 March 2012 (UTC) P.S.: BTW: All candidates can be seen at the ballot paper, published at de-Wikipedia, too. ;-)
- Cool go ahead and tag the article with the soutce...ypou need credit too(Lihaas (talk) 14:09, 19 March 2012 (UTC)).
It is there for a long time: [38] Tribunal de Recurso: Liste der Kandidaten in der Reihenfolge, die sie auf dem Stimmzettel haben werden (portugiesisch). ;-) --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 14:23, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Mali insurgency, the United States and France
Hi,
I thought I’d write to you here, instead of the talk page, since you seem to be the person who is keeping us up to date in this conflict.
I meant that the sentence “The United States Air Force air-dropped supplies via a C-130 in support of the besieged Malian soldiers.” appears without any prior introduction on why the US is involved.
I think what would be nice is if you could write a separate section on the involvement (the US) or non-involvement (France?) of foreign powers, how does the US justify (or explain) their support to the former (?) president, what it is that they hope to achieve (restoring the previous balance of power, for example), or any such things that will help us understand what the foreign powers are doing and why they are doing it. Also it would be interesting to know the base from which the US is operating, since even though C-130 Hercules has a rather long operating range, it is still difficult to try guess where their base is.
Keep up the good work.Apanuggpak (talk) 10:00, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

trade union names
Trade unions in southern Europe are generally referred to by their acronyms in English media. The problem is that many versions become quite odd in English translations ('Sindicato' has a slightly different meaning, 'sindical' is difficult to translate properly). In northern Europe the main TU centres have now adopted official English versions of their names (such as Landsorganisationen, literally just 'the National Organization' is now referred to as the Swedish Trade Union Confederation, even though the terms 'Sweden', 'Trade Union' and 'Confederation' are absent from the Swedish original name). In southern Europe this is still not the case. --Soman (talk) 10:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
AGF
In this edit [6], you wholly unnecessarily accuse an editor of bad faith. If you'll take a closer look here, it's clear that he was correcting the grammar of those two lines in the infobox; the reversion of the rest was an accident through edit conflict (and a minor accident at that).

2012 insurgency in northern Mali
Discuss what? The only issue at the moment is the renaming to Tuareg rebellion (2012), which all editors agree should be done, except you. And I have been involved in that discussion. As far as all the other issues you have or don't have I don't have a problem with them. If you are referring to my edits in the last 10 minutes I don't see what's so problematic about them that they need to be discussed. I can guess what you are having a problem with. Number 1: the coup mention being in the results section instead of the casualties section (it's a political/military consequence and a result of the conflict and it's place is thus in the results not the casualties section). Number 2: the number of government soldiers involved in the conflict (at the moment the conflict is spread throughout the country, with half the military involved in the fighting with the Tuaregs in the north, and half involved in the coup in the south, thus they are all involved). Number 3: my removal of the retreat to Algeria (the source doesn't mention the retreat to Algeria because the source only covers the story on the attempted relief of the town, a whole week before the retreat; the retreat is talked about in the next paragraph). Number 4: the removal of the word killed in the government section on casualties (source clearly states 1,000 killed, captured or deserted, don't know what else to say beside that). That's it. And I didn't attack you at any point. I just call it as I see it. And you reverting every possible edit I make to the article without even discussing it with me is really a definition of an edit war without concencuss Lihaas, which I still don't understand. I tried to talk to you a few times but you weren't responding. If you have some problems with my edits talk to me before reverting. Thank you! EkoGraf (talk) 09:49, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Lihaas,
I replied to your most recent comments on my usertalk page. You can go there to see it. But I wanted to let you know right away that I found a source for the rebels retaking Aguehok on January 24 [7]. Maybe you could add it, since I don't know the syntax for citation footnotes off the top of my head.

2012 insurgency in northern Mali
Presentation. Other conflict infoboxes are formatted with the {{flag|COUNTRY}} template for combatants and with the {{flagicon|COUNTRY}} template next to commanders because it looks better and that's what said templates are for. -Kudzu1 (talk) 15:58, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- Uh, no? AFRICOM is simply the name of the U.S. military command structure for the African continent, the same way CENTCOM is for the Middle East. We don't list CENTCOM as the U.S.-flagged combatant on Iraq War. It's not a case of WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, it's MOS:CONSISTENCY. -Kudzu1 (talk) 16:04, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- What other links? The one to "government of Mali"? As I said, {{flag|COUNTRY}} is the preferred template for conflict infoboxes. I'm also not finding a lot of support for the notion the U.S. should be in the infobox as well; it has anti-terror troops based in Timbuktu (no sign they've intervened), and it airdropped some food at an airport controlled by the Mali government, but I'm not sure that qualifies it as a combatant any more than Australia or Russia were combatants in Libya. -Kudzu1 (talk) 18:03, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- On the second edit, I just made them smaller. -Kudzu1 (talk) 18:10, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
"accused"
I'm a little wary of the word accused in "is accused of having links with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and other Islamist groups", as it implies the POV that AQIM links are bad. How about "alleged to have links"? I think I've changed that wording several times today, so I want to make sure I don't break 3RR. Khazar2 (talk) 08:43, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- ...and good call on the context for Keenan. Khazar2 (talk) 08:45, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
On a different subject (hence the outdent), Melissa Fleming is not the UNCHR chief's spokeswoman; she's the "UNHCR's chief spokesperson", per Al Jazeera. In other words, we can just call her the spokesperson, or chief spokesperson, but not the chief's spokesperson. =) Again I don't want to revert you to avoid edit warring--are you willing to double-check that in the source and change it? Khazar2 (talk) 08:50, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Re: flag
Yes, I know. I've already seen a picture of the flag here. It has a sword below the writing. We don't have a file of this flag on WikiCommons. If you want to use it, you'll have to draw it. We can't just choose one that is somehow similar to the one they actually use. That would be like - "We don't have a flag of China, let's use the one of the Soviet Union. It's similar. They're both red and have a golden star in the upper left corner." --RJFF (talk) 10:53, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Lihaas. Could you tell me why you reverted my edit? Also, if you don't agree with part of my edits, don't revert everything at once. As it is, you removed some templates to properly render text.

Morning Lihaas. Please do not edit war to keep comments on other people's talk pages if they have removed them, as you did here. Per WP:TPO, editors are permitted to remove comments from their own talk pages. Edit warring to keep them in place is only likely to inflame any disagreement.

Let's shake hands and move ahead
I just thought I would let you know that when you moved the table of winning candidates from Uttar Pradesh legislative election, 2012 to my sandbox [8], I felt very depressed. This was a table that we had agreed on (that the title should be "List of Winning candidates) etc. I had worked very hard on this 412 row table, wikifying things, fixing links, inserting 2007 data, removing bad links etc. You had in fact created a template with this very text.
Later, when that template was deleted since it was single-use, and you were unhappy, I suggested that it still isn't stable, it was full of disamb links. You facetiously called it sandbox material and unilaterally removed it to my sandbox. I was very hurt and was seriously thinking of withdrawing from wikipedia forever.
I just thoought I would mention that this action of yours, was a violation of my space. It also implied that I was an amateur who didn't know what belonged to a sandbox and what belongs to a wikipedia page. This for a detailed results section that you too felt belonged on the page. I felt very hurt.
This is why I don't get into edit wars or anything else. In any event, do try to come to a consensus at least on the four points, and let's proceed.
Also, I am really not upset now. In my eight years on wikipedia, i have learned to avoid edit wars for exactly this sort of reason.
I daresay I have no enemies on wikipedia, and would like to see you as a friend rather than an enemy.
Thanks! mukerjee (talk) 06:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry for the delay in replying to your questions about my close of the AfD. The consensus was that nothing in the article should be merged as it stood but that the topic could reasonably receive coverage in the appropriate place. I can move the content to a user suppage (i.e. User:Lihaas/Our memory and its capacity or something similar) if you like, but it would need to be extensively rewritten to be used in any article. Eluchil404 (talk) 04:18, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Kyrgistan
Hello Lihaas. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kyrgistan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: this doesn't meet any speedy criterion, and the redirect is used ~15 times a day. See here. There are only two speedy reasons for redirects, WP:CSD#R2 and WP:CSD#R3 (which is only for recently created ones), anything else should go to WP:RFD; but generally, redirects that are used should be kept - see WP:R#DELETE.

Grammar
Hi,
Since you don't appear to be a native speaker of English, I wanted to let you know that the sentence
- In its newspaper Rodong Sinmun, the North Korean Workers' Party called on the electorate to vote out the incumbent government.
is in fact perfectly grammatical, and stylistically accurate. You are quite right that "you cant have "its" withut saying what that means"; however, the sentence does specify what "its" means. This is a very common syntactical structure, and I'm not aware of the existence even of any dubious prescriptivist rules against it. It does not comprise an unacceptable example of deixis. Since your replacement was less accurate I have reverted the change, but I wanted to let you know since it appears to be a more fundamental misunderstanding of grammar.
This structure is known as cataphora. Many thanks, --Tyrannus Mundi (talk) 16:36, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
South Korean legislative election, 2012 and Kim Yong-min
Hello Lihaas, I want to point out one minor detail regarding the podcaster/politician Kim Yong-min. It is true that he gained his fame through his most famous podcast "Naneun Ggomsuda"(Korean: 나는 꼼수다),but he said the problematic sexist slur eight years ago in a radio show, "Kim Gura/Hani’s Plus 18"(Korean: 김구라/하니의 플러스 18). Notice that the number 18 is age 18, so "Plus 18" means people over 18 years old. Kim was free to make a such disgusting comments because "Plus 18"'s main audience were adults. Here is my source. ‘Bad-boy’ hopeful refuses to bow out. It is a Korea times news, and I quoted part of the article here.
- "He has been under fire after an audio clip revealed that he made overly abusive and vulgar jokes, vile sexual remarks and derogatory comments to senior citizens while appearing on an internet radio program, “Kim Gura/Hani’s Plus 18” in 2004 and 2005."

In The News/Recurring Items
I am posting here to ask for editors to look at Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items and to comment at the talk page to discuss/vote on an amendment to the ITN/R list. I am posting this message on a number of editor's talk pages to encourage debate.
In connection to an ongoing debate on which items can appear on the front page under "In The News", "Recurring Items" are nominated events which require very little debate in the nomination process.
I propose the following amendment to the current ITN/R list. In addition I will put this on the talk page of as many editors as I can find who are contributors to ITN/C
At Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items, I propose the following amendment to section 3:
- At line 5, delete "and", and add after "territories" the words "and the world's twenty smallest nations".
Section 3, Line 5 would then read:
- Disputed states, dependent territories and the world's twenty smallest nations should be discussed at WP:ITN/C and judged on their own merits.
I look forward to the debate doktorb wordsdeeds 07:21, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed your edit on the heading that I agree with, the matter is however in discussion on the talk page Talk:UEFA Euro 2012, under Concerns and controversies or Ukrainian Concerns and controversies section 2, would be good to hear your views. Re the second part of your edit:
- Ukraine also rejected the Russian offer. Meanwhile the heads of state of Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy and Slovenia reportedly turned down an invitation to attend a summit of central and eastern leaders that Ukraine was due to hold.
This is well sourced and I have already noticed it, but I think it should not be included as it is, strictly speaking, not relevant to Euro 2012, I have however already put a similar post at Yulia Tymoshenko under hunger strike where I think it is more relevant.
