Welcome to Wikipedia! Could you please stop removing the links to the EDU from the various christian democratic parties on Wikipedia? It's definitely not a good idea and goes against the general consensus. Thanks! —Nightstallion (?) 19:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'll require you also not to put indirect links, but preferably direct links. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia also by me! --Checco 19:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hello guys - this is Europarliament. Regarding EDU - your information is outdated since EDU is a dormant organization. After years of negotiations in the late 1990s, the EDU organization agreed to be fused with the EPP. There was a transition phase - moving the EDU Secretariat from Vienna to the EPP Secretariat in Brussels, joint working groups, an agreement from the EPP to accept member-parties beyond EU countries, etc. The EDU officially 'closed the books' at the EPP Congress in October 2002 in Estoril Portugal. The organization, as such, exists no more - no meetings, no secretariat, no staff, no finances, no legal status in the EU on in any European country, no website, no organs. It is only used by name in the IDU as a nominal geographical subdivision for its European member-parties. The IDU, on the other hand, is a vibrant organization and has been given new impetus by its new Norwegian Executive Secretary (who is also the sole staff member of this organization). If you want to read more details on how and why the EDU ended its activity there is a very detailed article by the last EDU Secretary General Alexis Wintoniak from Austria in the EPP journal 'European View' (Autumn 2006, p.173-178): http://www.epp.eu/subpagina.php?hoofdmenuID=7&submenuID=62 .

Does my explanation clarify the matter?--Europarliament 22:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

AfD

Hi! Considering your interesting in elections and/or the EU, you may be interested in the ongoing deletion debate on Danish European Union opt-outs referendum -- if so, could you please voice your opinion in the AfD debate? Thanks! —Nightstallion 15:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

EPP group

edit

Please take a look at what you are doing. There was already an article about the EPP group in the European Parliament: European People's Party (European Parliament group), which is distinct from the article about the European People's Party. What you did is editing the article about the historical (1999-2009) EPP-ED group to represent the current group, but like I said, there is already an article about that.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Macedonia pages

edit

Hi, when you update Macedonia pages, could you please take care not to use the long form "Republic of North Macedonia" unnecessarily? Pages like "X of the Republic of Macedonia" should preferably be moved to "X of North Macedonia", if at all. Also, please keep in mind that the culture, nationality, ethnicity etc. won't be renamed, and it's debated whether we should use the adjective "North Macedonian" at all, so it's still "Macedonian cuisine" etc. In general, I'd strongly recommend just going easy and not doing things in a rush. There's an RfC ongoing about these naming practices, and there really is no need to update everything within a day. Getting it right is more important on Wikipedia than being fast.

Republic of Macedonia/North Macedonia

edit

Hi Europarliament

I know that the name of the country Republic of Macedonia has been changed to North Macedonia, but that does not mean that every page has to be immediately changed.

A discussion is underway at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia)/2019 RFC to devise new naming conventions, and it is best not to pre-empt that RFC.

However, some editors have been in acting in un-needed haste. Many of the edits I have seen this evening have broken categories, templates and links. Some of those edits have been by you.

Please, wait until a consensus is formed. And then make sure not to break any links as it is implemented.

Thanks --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:27, 13 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Notice

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Macedonia

edit

You have been given formal notice that some articles are under special sanctions. This includes North Macedonia. Do not keep adding that legal Latin phrase to the lead which almost none of our readers will understand. Consensus on talk is clearly against that.
