border of Europe and Asia

Can you extend Image:TransAsia.PNG southward a bit more so that it can display Cyprus, which is also inbetween? Thanks in advance. --Joy [shallot] 15:28, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello. How did you come up with the Europe/Asia border pictured in this map you made? Thanks. —Cantus…☎ 01:45, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)

Where are you getting your maps from? Please reply. Thanks. —Cantus…☎ 01:57, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

As seen in this diff of the Europe article, you broke the syntax of an external link with the explanation "geography, edit-action reported spam about scandinavia-pictures link???". What do you mean by that? Shouldn't we fix it? On the other hand, the link is about Scandinavia, not Europe, so perhaps it should not be there at all. Jonas Olson 18:21, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I changed something in the geography section, but (maybe becouse it is the first section) in my edit-window the whole article was opened. When I select "save" an error appears that says that the link in question is spam. I tried multiple times. In the end I changed the link to plain text (so that not to delete it) and saved. I don't know what is the issue here - technical, real spam link, etc. Also maybe the place for the link is realy not there... Alinor 06:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NTSC-PAL-SECAM.png

Hi. I don't know if you created the NTSC-PAL-SECAM map, but there's a little mistake. If Brazil uses a mix of NTSC and PAL systems, its territory should be marked with another color, don't you think? Cheers. Julián Ortega 16:52, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I just don't know for sure witch system is used where. The information on SECAM, PAL and NTSC pages is contradicting. If you have better info - please correct it...Alinor 17:28, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

TransAfrica.PNG

Can you change the color scheme of Image:TransAfrica.PNG? It is hard to distinguish between Sinai Peninsula from the rest of asia. How about to color it using pink? In TransOceania.PNG, I think that it is also better to color oceanian Indonesia as pink. And the last request is... could you upload your work in commons.wikipedia.org? -- ChongDae 11:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

I hereby award you the Society Barnstar for your great additions to trade bloc. Keep up the good work! ナイトスタリオン ✉ 16:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I am pleased!Alinor 06:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Gladly. Say, how about founding Wikipedia:WikiProject Trade Blocs together? ナイトスタリオン ✉ 12:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Generally agree, but I don't have any experience with WikiProjects so far. Maybe it would be better to call it Regional Blocs (not Trade Blocs), becouse at least in the current table there is also political integration and defense pacts. Nice rework of the map, by the way :). Alinor 23:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Mh, yeah. Wikipedia:WikiProject Regional Blocs it is, then. I don't have much more experience, either; basically, we can just declare it to exist, and then it does, I think. ;) And thanks! Your map on which I based my changes was really good, as well. ナイトスタリオン ✉ 23:13, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alinor

Where do you come from? Bonaparte talk 20:45, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trade bloc

... has been up for peer review since 21 December 2005, and there hasn't been a single comment yet. Should we simply go for featured list status and nominate it now? —Nightstallion (?) 13:20, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, let's do it! Alinor 21:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Great! —Nightstallion (?) 23:54, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Maybe you'd like to leave a comment (and support? ;)) here? What we definitely need, though, are references, and I'm stumped as to where to find 'em. —Nightstallion (?) 00:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. This is more like a compilation article, so I think that the references are mainly the wikipedia pages of the blocs, the official pages of the blocs, maybe some links that circulated on discussion pages and in descriptions when doing some particular changes... Maybe also some other articles from the web... Alinor 17:00, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is it enough to add the links that are in the discussion/history pages? Alinor 17:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just add what you've got, yeah. —Nightstallion (?) 18:04, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that the links were not so much :( . If we have to add links for every single bit of info - there is much searching to be done AGAIN :(. Alinor 12:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Could you do that? I can help with those that are difficult to find. —Nightstallion (?) 12:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is possible, but maybe we will lose the nomination before I am ready... Alinor 12:12, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If necessary, we can always re-nominate. If you can do it, good; if not, we'll do it again later. —Nightstallion (?) 19:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article EU-Russia Common Spaces, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf

i removed the comparison chart from Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. since the CCASG isn't on the chart, i don't see how it adds to the article. what is the benefit of having the chart on the article? Kingturtle 18:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GCC = CCASG. Re-added. —Nightstallion (?) 19:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
ok, that makes sense. i clarified the article by adding (GCC) after Gulf Cooperation Council. but i now have another question. the CCASG article says that Gulf Cooperation Council is the former name. if CCASG is the newer name, why isn't that abbreviation reflected in the comparision chart? or is GCC still the more commonly known abbreviation? Kingturtle 20:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
GCC is widely used, while I've never seen CCASG used. Might be wrong, of course. —Nightstallion (?) 21:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Table update

Could you update the comparison table? Uzbekistan just joined EurAsEC. —Nightstallion (?) 13:06, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK! Alinor 21:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to list of European Union member states

Is it okay like this? ;) —Nightstallion (?) 10:23, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to be a spoiler :), but are you sure that in the Treaty of E.Constitution there is such Annex II? I have found Annex II for the ECommunity Treay (link on your discussion page) - not ? Also, you know that I would prefer to have BAT and FSAT listed in the EU list as they are in the OCT Annex II, but that is not so important... Alinor 10:38, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
