Please stop converting navboxes back to the dots and away from the list formatting, per WP:HLIST. --IznoRepeat (talk) 17:19, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please stop changing the capitalization. That's generally inappropriate for navboxes. --IznoRepeat (talk) 17:01, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters: "Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization. Most capitalization is for proper names or for acronyms and initialisms. Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is a proper name". Some of your recent edits to templates and article ledes may have to be reverted.

Note that unjustified removal of citations, links and sidebars (List of political parties in Venezuela, Anarchism, Fascism, List of ongoing military conflicts) could be construed as vandalism. Please explain your edits, either on talk pages or in edit summaries. Also don't remove red links; sometimes, those serve to indicate that an ambiguity is well-known, and a page needs to be written. --Omnipaedista (talk) 03:39, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I noted that you have renamed the template title (here) about the Colombia civil armed confict to 'Civil War'. Your edit has been reverted. Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is a proper title in such cases. --04:27, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Liberalism in Russia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Party of Democratic Reform (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi Charles, I reverted your headline changes in the article Namibia. There certainly could be better headline wording, but your choices did in my opinion not improve the article (e.g., prehistory is normally used for the time before human settlement, South African Namibia is an oxymoron because the South Africans were suppressing the name "Namibia", and under German colonialisation the name "Namibia" did not yet exist).

Please discuss such changes on the talk page first, particularly for top-importance Wikipedia articles. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 03:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles,

I revert to World Uygur Youth Congress, which is the organization which has been officially designated. We can not presume that World Uygur Congress is designated as well (or find a good reference that both names refer to the same group, not a subgroup). See http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/xw/t56257.htm Nicolas1981 (talk) 04:12, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your contributions to List of designated terrorist organizations! Unfortunately, two of the references you cited seem to not exist anymore: http://www.cdi.org http://www.guardiacivil.org/terrorismo/grupos/lista.jsp

If you could find where these pages have been moved that would be great! Meanwhile I had to revert.

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Constant moves of historical and war articles by a single user with no consensus regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

I notice you moved Iraqi insurgency (post-U.S. withdrawal) to a new name without ANY FORM of discussion or consensus on the subject. You should go to the talk page of the article, start a discussion, and only move it if you find consensus for the move. I see from the messages above and your edit history that you are doing this a lot, so as a precaution I am adding your user name to the Administrator's noticeboard pending possible actions against the account. Skycycle (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please respond to the above at WP:ANI#Constant moves of historical and war articles by a single user with no consensus. Failure to respond could result in sanctions, including loss of editing privileges. KillerChihuahua 22:56, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding. Consider yourself under a self-imposed ban from moving articles. I suggest in the future you be more responsive to other editors' concerns; it should not take an ANI thread and an admin telling you that you risk losing editing privileges for you to respond to others. Try to work more with your fellow editors, respect their concerns, and discuss disagreements with them. KillerChihuahua 00:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles, I see you've added a bunch of articles to Category:Political parties in South Africa that are already members of Category:Defunct political parties in South Africa. The thing is, the "defunct" category is a subcategory of the main category, so articles in the "defunct" category shouldn't also be included in the main category. This is explained at Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing pages, which says, "In addition, each categorized page should be placed in all of the most specific categories to which it logically belongs. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C." Regards - htonl (talk) 17:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, same with sub-categories of Category:Political parties in Egypt. Articles that are already members of Category:Coalitions of parties in Egypt, Category:Communist parties in Egypt‎ Category:Defunct political parties in Egypt‎, Category:Islamic parties in Egypt‎, or Category:Liberal parties in Egypt‎ should not additionally be directly included in the main category. Could you please revert your own edits to restore the old order. Thank you. Kind regards --RJFF (talk) 17:29, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Charles,

it has been explained to you more than once: please do not add higher level categories to an article, if the page is already in a sub-category of this category. If it is in the sub-category, it is automatically also in the superordinated category. Thank you. --RJFF (talk) 09:54, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not move hatnotes under maintenance templates. Per WP:Hatnote#Placement:

Hatnotes are placed at the very top of the article, before any other items such as images, navigational templates and maintenance templates (like the "cleanup", "unreferenced", and "POV" templates). Text-only browsers and screen readers present the page sequentially. If a reader has reached the wrong page, they typically want to know that first.

Hey Charles Essie

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:01, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you added a bunch of items to the category "Category:Massacres in Afghanistan."

Massacres are an intentional or indiscriminate killing of a group of people who should not have been targeted. Accidents and fog-of-war incidents are not massacres. The sinking of the Titanic was not a massacre, no matter how much negligence one might want to attribute to it. Neither was the 2007 Shinwar shooting. These various incidents had all been investigated. Bad things happen in war, which is why legitimate armies wear uniforms, and why legitimate critics were supposed to demand that insurgents distinguish themselves from civilians.

This has been discussed before, and it was eventually decided to create a separate category for these other incidents. That's why we have the cat for "Category:Civilian casualties in the War in Afghanistan (2001–present)."

I realize that some people like to make moral judgments, and call a tragedy a "massacre" because it feels wrong when you don't look at the entire picture. But, if you'll notice, the same people who claim to care about these things had been unwilling to demand insurgents follow the laws of war. Had they cared enough to have done that, many of these very incidents would never have happened.

Hey Charles, just want to inform you that I've been removing the category "Arab nationalists" from various articles, including that of Gamal Abdel Nasser, because it's redundant. Articles that already have cats such as "Arab nationalist blank" or "blank Arab nationalists" don't require the additional inclusion of the parent category, which is "Arab nationalists." With Nasser, because we already have "Arab nationalist heads of state", "Arab nationalist thinkers" and "Egyptian Arab nationalists," adding the parent cat would just be overkill. --Al Ameer (talk) 00:33, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is your rationale for putting practically all Lebanese civil war militias into this category? What does it have to do with "rebellion"? Militias are not "rebels" by definition. FunkMonk (talk) 17:08, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They were rebel groups because they did answer to the government and they fighting for their own vision of what the Lebanese state should be. Charles Essie (talk) 17:32, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But they did not fight the state (since there practically wasn't one), they fought each other. I have requested a rename, no sources I have ever encountered label these militias as "rebel groups". FunkMonk (talk) 17:36, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're entitled to remove them from the category, and maybe create a new category for the militias, but I would request keeping a separate rebel group category. Charles Essie (talk) 17:41, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But that's the point, there's nothing that could be put in that category. Apart from maybe Fatah al-Islam, but they were never labelled a rebel group by anyone, and they were not even Lebanese mostly. FunkMonk (talk) 17:44, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The multiparty cooperation system has a broad coverage. Therefore there is no need to establish new political parties.” does this mean that the party is banned? and if so it must be said in the article, can you please help me?

A little imprecise definition. Laws and the state power always work so, in almost all countries. So, <Putinism> is something else than only <for friends - everything, for enemies - the law>.

Hello! I undid your recent category change to the Pirate Party of Berlin page in which you changed the category from "Political parties in Germany to "Libertarian parties in Germany". The Pirate Party Germany characterizes itself (according to their website) as "social-liberal-progressive". Do you have anything that states explicitly that the party aligns itself with libertarianism (used here, as in the category, in the American sense of the term)? Interestingly, the only other party in the category is the Party of Reason, a small-government/free market party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ljpernic (talk • contribs) 14:37, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the contributions you've made to the American Left article on and off over the past few years. I like that you added a "lead too short" template [2] , and the other small changes you've made just seem like helpful uncontroversial formatting improvements and small additions that indicate goodwill in a bizarre editing environment.

I found a simple verification failure in the leading reference of the American Left article [3]. As a result, the first sentence or two of the lead changed from one side of falsehood through a day or two of an actual correct and well-referenced description of the American Left before passing over to the other side of falsehood which I point out at [4]. I'm writing about it here because I thought you might find it interesting and funny. There isn't much I can do about it, and I'm not recommending that you try to engage with certain other editors there. They seem to be too far gone down a path away from building an encyclopedia in my view. Flying Jazz (talk) 01:10, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles. Could you stop removing articles from Category:Political parties in Israel? The sub-categories you are putting them into contain both extant and defunct parties, so the top level category is still required as an indicator of current status.

Also, I saw you added Agudat Yisrael and Degel HaTorah to Category:Far-right political parties in Israel and Category:Religious Zionist political parties in Israel. Neither of these parties fit either category (particularly not the Religious Zionist one!) - could you be a bit more careful? Cheers, Number 57 18:40, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Charles. I noticed that you removed Rally for Democracy and Socialism from Category:Political parties in Burkina Faso, I guess because it is also in Category:Socialist parties in Burkina Faso.

User Ridland changed the title of the article from 2014 to 2013 unilaterally, without discussion and less than 10 days after we agreed with a majority consensus to name it as it was (per WP policy at least a month has to pass since the last consensus).

Hello Charles. I was rather surprised to see these categories suddenly deleted (I don't watchlist categories I create). The whole purpose of creating them was to separate extant and defunct alliances, so that defunct ones would appear as a sub-category of "Defunct political parties in Fooland". Now there is no way of knowing from their categorisation whether they are extant or not. Half of the comments in the discussion are either unaware of (or simply ignore) the fact that we have the Defunct parties category...

I really would have appreciated you discussing with me why I created them first before you nominated them for deletion, so I could have explained why there is a need for them. Please consider this in future. Thanks, Number 57 12:44, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Charles, I'd like to explain to you in good faith why I restored my removal on the Slobodan Milošević article. Essentially, when an editor takes something off, he is left with emptiness in the spot where the statement once stood and as such, there is no place to add sources. You say that the "experts" claimed Milošević was a nationalist. In fact, when you think about it, there is no "expert knowledge" required when labelling a nationalist. Despite its bad coverage, the individual merely adopts the ideology and from here, he projects his own self as a nationalist. There are a lot of nationalists in modern-day Serbian politics, the President Toma Nikolić identifies as one, and famously there is Vojislav Šešelj and a host of high profile figures, none with anything they would even wish to hide: there is a far-left and far-right more or less in every society.

With regards Milošević, it is indeed the case that from early on, his international opponents in western Europe and the United States labelled him a "nationalist", and it is also the case that many mainstream sources (i.e. those the community call "reliable") frequently parroted the label. None of this though explores the concept of Serbian nationalism, and if anything, most have proven that they are not even sure what Serbian nationalism entails in the first place. The most common ideology is one of Greater Serbia, and Milošević's name was linked to this concept right from 1991 until very recent years: although many knew this was never the case, even the modern scholars seem to have conceded this notion now, particularly after the disclosures in the thousands-of-pages judgement on Radovan Karadžić which just about deemed the connection beetween Milošević and Greater Serbia an absurdity (though not in such direct words).

However you look at it, Milošević's detractors needed a "strong case" to oppose him, and to be honest and say that he was simply a hardliner who was not willing to give up Yugoslavia wasn't "corrupt" enough for them, so they created a number of fanciful theories as to how the remaining Pan-Slavic state with Montenegro and the support for Serb breakaway states in Bosnia and Croatia somehow amounted to a "Greater Serbia" on the bottleneck premise of "one man giving the orders across this vast area". In fact, not only did Milošević eventually sign the Dayton Accords (which he did not have to do as he was not a Bosnian Serb), he never interfered with or tried to influence the four failed peace talks prior to Dayton which dated back to 1992. I should add that two of these were agreed by the Serbian representatives and on neither occasion did Milošević's hammer come down. I should note that even regarding the two peace talks that the Serbs rejected, they still attended and considered a proposal which they knew in advance would result in a sovereign Bosnia and Herzegovina, something no right-minded Serbian nationalist would consider (which when you reflect, even raises question marks now just how nationalistic the Bosnian Serb leadership was). Another thing is that it is impossible to equate Serbian nationalism with the continuation of Serbia in a Pan-Slavic union with Montenegro, a region claimed as "Serb" by nationalists and not "independent of it". Other inconsistencies include the peaceful withdrawal from Macedonia (another Serbian heartland to the nationalists), and the creation of FR Yugoslavia in 1992 singularly excluding Serb-held territories in Croatia and Bosnia. It would have been far easier for a nationalist to declare a "Serb state" to include all desires areas, and eradicate a Montenegrin entity. However, it had been Montenegrins representing a Montenegrin interest that kept Montenegro united with Serbia.

That said, this is my own analysis. What you might like to know is that the combintation of Milošević with "nationalism" has been discussed among scholars and publishers, and just as some do call him nationalistic, others - and not necessarily all complimentary ones - state clearly that he was not nationalistic. Here are some:

• Read after the highlighted paragraph
• Article on Warsaw Voice
• Branding by avowed nationalist Šešelj as "worst traitor" in Serbian history
• Opinion on Milošević from Momčilo Đujić
• cannot find link - Warren Zimmermann is on record as confessing Milošević was not a nationalist, though he did call him an "opportunist".

So as you can see, this one really is not as simple as calling "Adolf Hitler" a definite "nazi". I hope you see my point here. --OJ (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Charles. I noticed you created this category, but I'm not sure it's necessary. The articles in Category:Opinion polling by country are pretty much exclusively for elections. It might have been better to rename the existing categories (perhaps Category:Electoral opinion polling by country etc) rather than create a duplicate that all articles are in twice. Do you have any objections to me suggesting the new category is deleted? Cheers, Number 57 19:27, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my suggestion. We delete my page but we move Category:Opinion polling by country to my page's title (for consistency with Category:Opinion polling for future elections and move all the subcategories accordingly (example; Category:Opinion polling in Australia to Category:Opinion polling for elections in Australia).

I'm taking some content from the other articles, moving it into this one, cutting down and summarizing it.

Just FYI, if you create categories like Category:Communists by nationality and political party by mistake, the best way to get them deleted is not to blank them but to add the {{db-self}} template, which will put them into the deletion process directly rather than relying on another editor to do it for you... <g> Le Deluge (talk) 16:59, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A very rude editor is constantly changing the start date of the 2014-present Iraqi civil war from January 1st to June 4th at the Template:Iraqi Civil War infobox. Per two previous consensus established, where sources were cited for the January start date, it was established it started in January 2014 (when ISIL took over Fallujah and much of Anbar) and the name should be Iraqi Civil War (2014-present). He is constantly reverting back to June instead of January and he has now also removed (2014-present) from the heading of the infobox (this is required since this is the second civil war, the first one, for which we have a separate article, being from 2006 to 2008). I tried pointing out in the edit summaries when reverting him that a consensus was previously established and that he should start a discussion on the talk page if he wants a new consensus (instead of edit warring), he ignored that and simply made insulting comments. He seems to be a new editor (three months of edits) and possibly isn't aware of how discussions and consensus work. Could you help out? Thanks in advance! EkoGraf (talk) 17:02, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the sources that were cited in previous discussions that clearly state the escalation of the new phase and rise of ISIL started in January 2014 with the capture of Fallujah, not in June 2014. We could use these sources for the January 2014 start date. [6][7][8][9][10] EkoGraf (talk) 17:14, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't delete United in Europe, I merged all verifiable content to European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom)#Parties and candidates. I also added a hatnote to that section, which you didn't transfer to the article when you reverted. You also didn't link from that section to the restored article. I'll take this to a merge discussion, this is not a notable political party as they failed to get enough press coverage, didn't stand, and soon folded. Fences&Windows 11:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Hello! Charles Essie, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited United Left (East Germany), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Party of Democratic Socialism (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.

I noticed you reverted my category change, when I removed Category:Elections in Iraq, with the comment "Why? Iraqi Kurdistan is part of Iraq". I agree with the comment, but the reason why is that I have created a new category, "2018 elections in Iraq", which is already part of the category "elections in Iraq".

Hello Charles,

I came across some of your edits—for example, here, here, here, here, here, and here—and noticed that you are removing the blank lines that separate template code from category code. While this has no visual impact for readers, it does make editing more difficult by creating a massive block of text wherein templates and categories are not easily distinguishable. Therefore, I kindly request you stop making these changes within articles.

Thank you, -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 01:04, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed you are continuing this practice (e.g. here and here). I ask you again to please desist, and at least to engage in a conversation. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 19:33, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Arab Socialist Union, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:32, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles Essie,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider adopting a cleanup category or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 12:45, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You recently altered dozens of articles from Category:Conservatism in the Republic of Ireland to Category:Conservatism in Ireland. That means we now have parties from the Republic of Ireland (only) sharing a category with parties from Northern Ireland (only), which is less than helpful and is, in fact, a dis-improvement. Can you point to where a discussion on this took place, or was it unilateral? Regards, Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 07:35, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was unilateral and I apologize for not starting a discussion on this. Where should we go from here? Charles Essie (talk) 14:56, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked over the changes I think all of them are proper to the former category rather than the latter; it'd be best to just revert, I think. Or if you think it needs to be discussed, then probably WP:CFD would be the place to do it, with a notice posted at WT:IE. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 16:08, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Charles Essie. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Arab Socialist Union".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. » Shadowowl | talk 10:27, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles Essie,

In your recent edit, you made a lot of different changes. I noticed two kinds in particular: you added a lot of piped links (like [[Joe Crowley|Joseph Crowley]]) and you removed a lot of red-links (like Seema Singh Perez). Both of these kinds of edits are explicitly discouraged by editing guidelines. The guideline about redlinks is WP:REDLINK; you can read it in detail, but the key bits are

In general, a red link should be allowed to remain in an article if it links to a title that could plausibly sustain an article, but for which there is no existing article, or article section, under any name. Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject .... Good red links help Wikipedia—they encourage new contributors in useful directions, and remind us that Wikipedia is far from finished.

Similarly, the guideline about piped links is WP:NOTBROKEN; the key bit is "It is almost never helpful to replace [[redirect]] with [[target|redirect]]."

I would prefer not to do a single revert to your edit; but I also am not inclined to go through and check each of the many changes you made to see whether they are in accordance with these guidelines. Instead, I request that you make a partial revert of your edit, as appropriate.

Thanks for you attention, JBL (talk) 20:08, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

Hello, Charles Essie,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Joseywales1961, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Wikipedia categories named after political parties in Hungary for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Joseywales1961}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

I recently made some edits on the Azerbaijan Communist Party (AKP) which you undid assuming that it is about the "UPC–CPSU" affiliated party. Though the logo, the site, the general secretary (leader), the founder of the party and many more are based on the "CPSU (2001)" affiliated one. On the other hand I agree that there are characteristics and information from both parties blended in the article. So that's why I suggest, if you know and are sure about specific information on the AKP (UPC-CPSU), to make the appropriate edits and make the article suit to the right party. At the same time either me or you will have to remove and/or replace the stuff that relates the party  to the CPSU (2001).
Alternatively, the article is about the AKP (CPSU (2001)) and the information about it stays in place, while the information about the AKP (UPC-CPSU) gets removed and another article/draft can be suggested for the latter.

In any case I think that a distinction between those two parties should be pretty obvious. Sfoklus (talk) 17:58, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. Personally, I find the whole thing very confusing. I don't get why Communist Party of Azerbaijan (1996) and Communist Party of Azerbaijan (2011) were deleted or why information about the latter was merged into Azerbaijan Communist Party (1993). I think we should start a discussion in Talk:Azerbaijan Communist Party (1993) to resolve these issues. Charles Essie (talk) 20:28, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. I will be looking at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 AUGUST 2021!

Thanks so much,

To make your participation at Talk:Tigray War/Archive 4#Requested move 8 November 2021 clearer, you should best add a bullet point with Support or Oppose in the list, although the replies are useful too. Remember that an uninvolved editor will have to read through a possibly quite long discussion, and although the raw numbers of support/oppose are not meant to override the reasoning based on Wikipedia policy, they are still a strong clue. You can use the {{s}} template to strike out your !vote if you change your mind later. Boud (talk) 00:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles,

I see you have edited the PKK article several times.

Hi Charles Essie! Happy New Year to you! :) Listen, i've got some good news for you! The good news is, that you can create a new Category page!

These politicans are hate Viktor Orbán, and they hates the Fidesz and the KDNP, so, these opposition people are Pro-West, Pro-European, Pro-Liberal Democracy, and Pro-LGBTQ movement followers, that are hates Viktor Orbán, and the Far-Right politicans, and the Far-Right movements. And also hates the MHM (Mi Hazánk Mozgalom) (English: Our Homeland Movement). The Our Homeland Movement is splited from the Jobbik, because the Jobbik is now a Centre-Right Wing, and Pro-European party, and the Jobbik's leader is Márton Gyöngyösi, which is he now loves the European Union, and Gyöngyösi is apologized the Ukranian incident, which is the 2014 Crimean Referendum, which is part now the Russian Country, and this Crimean Country is captured by Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Millitary Troops, which is illegal to the West, and the United States, they are not recognized the Russian Crimean Country. Listen Charles Essie, this new Category page, which you can create it, in the English Wikipedia, it is will be similar to Opposition to Vladimir Putin, and Opposition to Fidel Castro Category page. :) I just saying it, that you can create it, because it is really important to everyone, like me, and the other Wikipedia.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello! I wanted to thank you for showing some love to such a seldom-edited page. As a fellow socialist, it warms my heart to see a comrade going out of their way to update the page of such a small organization. I wanted to tell you that I used your IPA edit as a springboard to update PaP's Italian page and update its international positioning. I also added some programmatic points, a couple things on its ideology, and its positioning on the Palestine conflict. If you want to further update the page, I hope it may help you in the future.
