BH Municipalities
Hi,
I am trying to find the underlying boundary files used to create this map http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bosnia_and_Herzegovina_municipal_elections_2008_result.png. Can you tell me how it was produced and if you do have spatial files can you share them with me?
waypoints — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waypoints (talk • contribs) 21:51, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I've got no idea – I probably transferred that file from en.wikipedia to the Commons, but I did not create it AFAICR. —Nightstallion 22:33, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Hey, Nightstallion. I've just wrapped up fixing some clumsy Flemish-to-English prose in the article for the Di Rupo I Government and would like to expand more on the 541 days of negotiation (obviously not to the extent of 2010–2011 Belgian government formation or 2007–2011 Belgian political crisis, but something more), specifically the latter-days breakthroughs such as the BHV/state reform, nuclear phaseout, the budget and the Dexia bailout and the impetus lead by the S&P downgrade and Leterme's nomination as Deputy Secretary General of the OECD but I'm not sure if I'm particularly skilled enough to do so. In any case, time constraints may prevent me from doing so at all. Do you know of anyone more qualified to write on Belgian issues? Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:49, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- Not off the top of my head, no … —Nightstallion 08:35, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Serbian parliamentary election, 2012, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Liberal Democratic Party (Serbia) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Guinea=Bissau Prez
Please dont synthesize without a source. WP is not a weblog or twitter, to make pronounce ments on a new president without a source is certainly nto up to RS standards and would be OR.
The source says that he will continue in his role it doesnt NOT say he will be sworn in as acting/interim, which officially means that he will continue in his capacity of taking charge of presidential affairs not that he will be president which is different, however technical. Perhaps officially the post will be vacant, unless we have a source saying otherwise(Lihaas (talk) 21:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)).
- See http://rulers.org/rulg2.html#guinea-bissau . —Nightstallion 21:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- That doesnt mention anything about his swearing in which happarently happened yest. (hence a news story)
- More reputable sources liek the NYT and AFP donet mention anything of the sort. in fact the latter says he will CONTINUE on in his position which is indicatibve off him being acting prez for even longer then.(Lihaas (talk) 12:59, 10 January 2012 (UTC)).
- Yeah, but there's a difference. While the president is in office and alive, he's only standing in; once he's dead, he's actually acting president in his own right, sworn in or not. —Nightstallion 15:04, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but you reverting me, Everyking and Nightstallion because you aren't reading into the news correctly and responding angrily to us when we try to explain our position to you is getting really tiring. Therequiembellishere (talk) 17:22, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- Exactly. There no point in emergency succession if the government has to wait for the next person in line to be sworn-in. Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, but there's a difference. While the president is in office and alive, he's only standing in; once he's dead, he's actually acting president in his own right, sworn in or not. —Nightstallion 15:04, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pakistani Senate election, 2012
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Pakistani Senate election, 2012 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. BPositive (talk) 18:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

The article Mauritanian parliamentary election, 2012 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Its not true at all according to RS sources (as opposed to the individual's website). Election was in 2011 and 2013 [3]. Nor is it in the news. ([4][5][6]. Even the original cited website doesnt give a date.)
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

DYK for Swiss referendums, 2012
| | On 3 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Swiss referendums, 2012, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that voters in Zurich, Switzerland, approved the creation of "sex boxes"? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Dude, please explain your edits and also dont add the date and year to articles ending qith the same year in the title. IE- in the greece article, the edits read like a news ticker with every update saying X May, 2012.Lihaas (talk) 22:35, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Samoan o le Ao o le Malo elections
I'm really not sure these are worthy of an article for each election, particularly as both have just been elected unopposed - I think for now a section in the main o le Ao o le Malo article is enough.
If there are elections in future, perhaps a solution would be to have a single page covering all the elections. I was considering doing this for the Israeli presidential election articles. What do you think? Number 57 10:58, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:Georgian legislative election date referendum, 2008 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

Orphaned non-free media (File:Dp logo.png)
){kind=link}
Thanks for uploading File:Dp logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:06, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

I am contacting you because you have participated in prior discussions at the above article, and it would be appreciated if you gave your views on an current dispute. One editor wants to add a gallery of images for people who declined to stand for the leadership. Another editor objects on the grounds that doing so puts undue weight on the people who did not participate. -Rrius (talk) 14:31, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
