Catalonia

Please see my response to you at Talk:Principality_of_Catalonia#What_an_incredibly_biased_entry. I recolored the map (which you probably could have done yourself: I just used Microsoft paint). On the other matter, I don't see what your issue is. - Jmabel | Talk 20:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Lots of work to do

Hi Eboracum...there is indeed a lot of work to do with the Spanish related entries: they are plagued with nationalistic bias or simply people who don't like Spain (you know Portuguese...) and, unfortunatelly, they have decided to turn wikipedia in English into a loudspeaker for their claims....but you don't give up, man! Salut. Mountolive 00:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't even dare to look at entries like "nationalities in Spain" since...well, I just paid a quick look at it and it seemed like an antology of nationalist platitudes...the references on Albacete and Murcia are just hilarious (or saddening...) and the linguistic map is the dream of any nationalist come true with all those people from Huesca supposedly speaking only Aragonés and things of the like....well, terrible. One day I should bother to enter there and make some things clear, if only for a while before they revert it back to the nationalist stuff... Mountolive 00:48, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

stubs

About this, stub articles can have multiple stub templates (as many as necessary). Stub templates list the article on stub categories, for example Spain-hist-stub lists the stub at Category:Spanish_history_stubs. Some editors like looking at those categories to find stubs that they want to edit into full articles. It's important that the stub appears at all spanish, catalan & valencian history stub categories since it could be improved by editors interested on any of those three topics. This is not like the categories, where you can't list the article at the same time on a category and on its subcategory. This is just a technical thing to help editors find articles that need to be improved, so please take into account next time that you find a stub with multiple stub templates. Cheers. --Enric Naval (talk) 18:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

"Neutrality"

You are completely misusing the "neutrality" tag. You are disputing a fact. You are not saying the article does not have a neutral point of view. Do you understand the difference? This tag is not to be used when you have a disagreement about a fact with another editor. Furthermore, you are disputing the fact (which is now referenced) without providing any references of your own. That is not how Wikipedia works.

Yet another policy you need to familiarise yourself with: reliable sources. Someone's personal website doth not a reliable source make. Oh, and WP:3RR too. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick ^t 23:19, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of longest-lasting empires

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of longest-lasting empires. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of longest-lasting empires (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Palacio de las Cortes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Neoclassic (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:03, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
