Deletion of content edit

  Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. I have restored the content you deleted from Singapore passport and Malaysian passport because you didn't explain why you deleted that content. -Amatulic 22:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Foreign Government offices in Taiwan edit

Somebody is proposing removing the Irish government office in Taiwan in Diplomatic missions of Ireland, as Ireland does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Current practice is that we include such missions, as they effectively perform the same roles as genuine diplomatic missions but are deliberately given unofficial nomenclature for political purposes.

Could you please either:

  • Support this proposal, and in all relevant articles help remove all Taiwanese offices in countries that do not recognise the Republic of China, and remove all foreign offices in Taiwan that do not recognise the Republic of China, or
  • Oppose this proposal

Please make your views known in Talk:Diplomatic missions of Ireland

Thank you. Kransky (talk) 14:07, 22 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

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

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. This would affect a large number of articles which relate to Taiwan, Palestine, Kosovo and other states. Please provide your views here. Thank you. Kransky (talk) 06:36, 6 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Spelling question edit

Hello Cybercicada and thank you for your thirteen plus years of dedicated work on the List of protected areas of China page. I would like to ask you what the source of the spelling for the word 'Hanggiya' you gave in this edit ([2]) is. What database does this spelling come out of? I agree it is probably correct, but I want to know more about the history and geography of Lop County and I think the database you are working from would probably give me a lot of information about this kind of subject matter.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards. If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Gweilo60 (talk) 11:29, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
