"Non-state users"

Hello. I wanted you to know that I have reverted your addition of IRA as a "non-state user" on multiple articles. We don't add non-state users since there are dozens if not hundreds of organisations around the world that would be as qualified to be in such a list as the IRA is. The English WP covers the entire English-speaking world, and to most readers of WP the IRA is just one of many organisations of equal fame, so we can't make any exceptions either.

Bolivian P-51

	Great Picture
	Re: Great picture of a Bolivian Mustang. I was curious where you took this photo? I would love to see this plane in real life. KickerTom (talk) 02:08, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

"Whats'Up Doc" was actually a Canadian-registered P-51D that I photographed at the Portage la Prairie Air Show in 1984ish. The scheme was from its previous existence in a South American sojourn. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 14:30, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Non-state users

Hello. What I wrote here almost four years ago (see message from October 2013, a few steps up on your talk page) still applies, we do not add non-state users, since there are hundreds of them. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 17:16, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

September 2017

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Edits which change facts, such as adding or subtracting a country or firearm from a list are not minor.
