You've made close to 100 reverts in under 24 hours. I realize you've probably built up a lot of pent energy while being missing for the last several weeks, but try to slow down, ok? [[User:SchmuckyTheCat|SchmuckyTheCat]] 19:37, 19 February 2007 (UTC) |

Hong Kong politician/poli-bio stubs
Hi IN - not sure about overturning the decision - a better thing to do would probably be to redefine the stubs and propose something at WP:WSS/P that would be a bit more clear-cut - perhaps a Hong Kong colonial administrator stub or similar? The trouble with gov-bio is that it doesn't make it clear whether it's for current politicians or for former administrators. Also the numbers may be a problem, though no doubt you could hunt down a few more stubs somewhere. The other possibility would be to propose combining the politicians and others into "political administrators" or similar, which would cover pre- and post- 1997. It's more a case of re-scoping the categories than re-creating ones that are a little ambiguous and ill-defined. Grutness...wha? 23:30, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- The ill-defined bit was trying to express simply that a category is for "all people involved in politics who aren't politicians", especially when there's a certain amount of ambiguity likely as to whether a colonial administrator is a political appointment and therefore the administrator himself is a politician.

"Countries of..." templates
Hi Instantnood,
What do you make of the examples here as a means for these types of templates to be named "Countries of..." but also include areas that are not described as countries...? If you approve, I'll format the templates accordingly (and rename those still called "Countries and territories of..."). Regards, David Kernow (talk) 00:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- They should be listed in the same way, with no discrimination. Although some of them are not sovereign states, they are all countries. Happy new year. :-) — Instantnood 00:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- I reckon we should find out whether or not there's any consensus to support this (fortunately straightforward!) view; maybe a survey thrown open via the Village Pump in which folk are asked to identify which of a small, selected number of places they'd identify as countries, or maybe which of a number of groups of places included places that aren't countries... (Any ideas...?) Thinking ahead, if, given a decent response (20+?), the survey indicated no consensus, would you accept the inclusion of places such as Hong Kong, Macau, Christmas Island etc etc in these "Countries of" templates but identified as "special administrative regions", "territories", "dependencies" etc etc...? Have to go now, but will follow-up later; thanks in advance for your thoughts. David (talk) 01:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- PS Re new year: I hope it will be happier for everyone!
- The above situation is certainly not that straightforward, considering the major edit warring and content disputes going on at Template:Countries of Europe and related templates for countries. It is apparant many are indeed equating a country with an independent state, as per common English language usage around the world. Instantnood's actions are actually advancing his POV over this affair, and should be evaluated with caution.--Huaiwei 10:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Which is why I did this: listed the page at WP:RFC/HIST. I thought you might be interested in that fact. Hope that works for you. :D -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 09:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, the debate about having unrecognized countries on the list seems to have started up again. Mind having a look on the talk page? Thanks, Khoikhoi 06:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
A request
Hi IN - I'm involved in a dispute with another user who has accused me of being an anti-Asian racist. As an Asian editor who has had frequent dealings with me over the years, I was hoping you might be able to take a look at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Yugayuga and make some comment, even if you agree with what he said. It would be good to have some input from other Asian editors of long standing. Grutness...wha? 06:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yugayuga created a series of templates for Sri Lankan Tamil articles, none of which were usable for different reasons, and none of which would have got close to even twenty stubs, let alone the 60 we normally use for splits. I explained this to him and also commented that stubs were split by country, and not by individual races within a country. Next thing I know there's an Association of Members Advocates case going on, with Yugayuga accusihng me of racism because of this last point. I apologised for any perception that what I had said was in any way racist, adding that it was standard stub splitting practice as could be seen from looking at WP:WSS and WP:SFD's archives. Yugayuga said he accepted my apology but added that it proved I was a racist. Which is why i took him to RfC. In the end the RfC failed to get enough comments from people who tried to mediate (surprisingly the person who mediated at AMA didn't sign as a mediator :(, so it didn't get anywhere. Grutness...wha? 23:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Mediation of single party state
Greetings. After speaking to a party of this case, I think it has pretty much faded into the background. For that reason, I will be closing the mediation soon unless you have any opposition to this. If so, please drop me a talk page note. Thanks. —Xyrael / 13:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
This article is up for deletion. Please help me improve it, or find someone who can. Thank you! Laura1822 01:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Wish you all the best in the year of the pig. Wish you a year full of knowledge and energy. As nurtured as a pig, as content as a pig. Greetings from Hong Kong. --Deryck C. 17:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
