The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence

Hello. In light of the fact that it is the first book the U.S. government ever went to court to censor before its publication(!), I was hoping you could help improve the The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence article as part of an effort to make it worthy of becoming a featured article candidate? --Loremaster (talk) 14:11, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

End of Diplomatic Missions by country Category

Hi, Russavia is currently removing the "Category:Diplomatic Missions by country" tag from these articles. His reason relates to putting articles in categories and sub-categories - you may read it on his talk page. I do not share his view, nor do I think it was prudent for him to make the changes without consulting first. Please make your judgement on this matter and advise him on his talk page. Kransky (talk) 12:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Notwithstanding protests by others, and without providing a reason that we can be satisfied with, Russavia has continued to implement his changes that degrade the Diplomatic Missions by Country the articles. Most recently he has added a list of ambassadors to Diplomatic missions of Russia.

I have written to him a sterner note on his talk page, stating that the Diplomatic missions by country tag belong to articles, not to category pages. Unless a consensus emerges it will remain this way.

I would appreciate if you remain seized of this issue for the time being. Kransky (talk) 10:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Request for Comment

As per advice on WP:EAR I have moved issues of Russavia's behaviour and its effects on the Diplomatic Missions by Country articles to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User:Russavia. Please provide comment - by all means seek his side of the story. Please confirm on the talk page within 48 hours that you have tried to resolve a dispute with Russavia and have failed Kransky (talk) 12:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC).

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Re: Nielsen

Oh, I completely agree with you, Nielsen is trying to keep information from the Wikipedian public....but, so it didn't look like I was getting to pointy, I was "nice" on the post there. If you would like to add something with a little more punch (not too much, don't want you to get in trouble), please feel free. Take Care and Have a Good Weekend...NeutralHomer • Talk • October 11, 2008 @ 13:23

Perfect! Gets the point we all are trying to make across without making anyone upset. I like it :) Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • October 11, 2008 @ 17:13

See, that's where the problem lies. All the legal department won't tell us even the very short version of what the OTRS ticket (the thing that caused the whole deletions to begin with) says. Some privacy thing. So, we are kinda left in the dark, I think intentionally, to rebuild everything. Alot of people are using regional information, like for "Washington DC" they are calling it "the greater Washington DC area", for "Johnstown/Altoona" it's "Central Pennsylvania and Happy Valley" and as people make templates with previous information, people are coming by and kinda "regionalizing" them.

So....I would wait until the templates are finished (which might take a couple) then rebuild the list with that information and not anything from Nielsen. Right now, most people are not having anything to do with Nielsen information. Please feel free to message back :) Take Care and Have a Great Sunday...NeutralHomer • Talk • October 12, 2008 @ 19:53

Missions in Taipei

A contributor has suggested that diplomatic missions in Taipei belonging to sending states that do not recognise the Republic of China should not be listed with a flag of the Republic of China, should be referred to as "Taiwan" and should contain a caveat specifying sending state does not recognise the Republic of China. While he has made this change to Diplomatic missions of Ireland, it would be appropriate that whatever decision to made to this article also is made in all the other DMBC articles (both the receiving and sending articles).

• I am against removing Taiwan's flag to the exclusion of others.
• I am against including caveats about the status of diplomatic relations, as this is not central to articles about diplomatic missions
• I am against a change to the self-identification principle, in which receiving states are listed according to their own name. I however acknowledge there is inconsistency in the application of this rule and would reconsider my position if there is strong support to apply the logical alternative (receiving states are named according to how sending states know them). This decision however is fiddlier and would put us in direct conflict with Taiwanese (and Macedonians) who would have other agendas.

In short it is not worth the extra work, and I am not certain that this new contributor is prepared for all the extra work (and edit wars) his change entails. Please provide your views in Talk:Diplomatic missions of Ireland

Solomon Islands has recognised Kosovo

Hi Bobby, I've received an reply from the Solomon Islands Director of Immigration confirming that they have recognised the independence of Kosovo, and its passports. See here. (I'm feeling rather proud with myself!) Have you received a reply to your email also? Now all we need to do is convince people that this isn't OR... I've forwarded the mail to Kosovothanksyou - perhaps they will manage to get hold of something more official. Cheers Bazonka (talk) 21:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Diplomatic missions of Russia

It has been about six months since Russavia's proposed new bold format was developed, using a table, smaller pictures, names of heads of missions and cross accreditations. We did not come to any consensus about using it - but it was a good opportunity to see how it would look. May I also add we were worn down by Russavia's persistence that his design stay, that we redo the taxonomy of the DMBC articles ("by sending state", "by receiving state"), and we allow all those articles of Russian missions (and missions to Russia) to exist, even if they just consist of the name of the ambassador and its address.

I am still not convinced that the design of Russavia's format is an improvement on the existing design, or that these articles are the right place to list heads of missions or accreditations. I have not seen any significant endorsement of his new format, nor anybody stating they wanted to make wholesale changes to all articles.

Please note what the Arbitration Committee states about MoS conflicts:

The Arbitration Committee has ruled that the Manual of Style is not binding, that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable.

Where there is disagreement over which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.

As the first major contributor of this article I intend now to revert the article back to its original style, including any subsequent updates.

Please add your views in the talk page of Diplomatic missions of Russia.

Proposed Removal of all non de jure diplomatic Missions in List Articles

I would like to seek your view as to whether we should eliminate from the lists of diplomatic missions by sending/receiving countries all references to representative offices of sending states that do not have formal diplomatic missions with the host states.

Diplomatic missions of the European Union

User:Alinor An editor with a keen interest in the EU has proposed to modify the article to list all the countries that do not have a mission of an EU member state, or only have one such mission. I do not support this edit, as the information does not concern diplomatic missions of the EU, only the missions of its member staets.

We have discussed this issue extensively in Talk:List of diplomatic missions of the European Union. I think what Alinor is arguing is that the embassy of an EU member can represent the EU as a whole, or provide services to other EU members. I do not believe this is the case. And even if such arrangements exist, it would be outside the scope of the article.

If you feel inclined, please join the discussions, make your own mind up and share your views. Kransky (talk) 00:04, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Montenegro recognition

Hey, how are you? Thanks for updating the information about the states that recognized Montenegro even though it's not that much importing :) since it is not a problem, only diplomatic service need to inform states that MNE is independent :). Anyway what I wanted to ask you is that by the information I got, states that recognized Montenegro is 120, not 113. This is the information, which were presented officially by Montenegrin Government: http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/27446/

Could you please update the box. Thanks again!

I don't know if it is vandalism as I don't remember that user being a regular editor, however it is hasty and should be reverted. At this point it is safe to doubt the news article as whomever spoke with journalists could have lied to them. Could you please contact diplomats of those two countries.

It is regarding "International recognition of Kosovo" and article size. It is not a POV proposal, just a purely technical matter regarding the KB size of the article which is currently too big.

Diplomatic Missions by Country articles

Hi Canadian Bobby, one new contributor would like the DMBC articles to list as diplomatic missions the representatives of Polisario, an organisation advocating for the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, within the Sahrawi DMBC article. I have no problems with genuine missions of the SADR being listed, but I think most of the representatives listed cannot be considered diplomatic missions under the loosest of definitions (such as the 19 in Spain). Do you think we should list as diplomatic missions the representatives of political organisations? Or do you think this would be a radical departure from the definitions we have been using? Feel free to investigate his side of the story at Talk:List of diplomatic missions of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Kransky (talk) Kransky (talk) 16:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
