User talk:Lear 21/Archive 3Bundesland templateIf you do change templates that are used on several pages, please make sure your version makes sense on all of them. Your edit to the German Bundesland template may fit your vision of how it should look in the Berlin article better, but there is no reason at all why "one flag only, need location in Europe" should hold for any other state (not that you have given any real argument why it should be the way you prefer for the Berlin article). Using a variable name like "flag2" for a coat of arms and "coat of arms" for a location map is also extremely bad coding practice, and makes the template very confusing. If you do make such changes, you should at the very least explain in the documentation that "State_coa" stands for "A map showing the position of Germany in Europe" and "flag2" stands for "Coat of arms of this state". That would help others understand your naming convention so they can use the template. Thank you, Kusma (talk) 09:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC) I´m sorry for the uncomplete code. It worked for the few Bundesländer I checked. Lear 21 15:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Map section fixed. That should do it, I reckon. - 52 Pickup 21:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC) Help Me..:)Hi, Can you copy edit the Zile article when you have time? Thanks--Ugur Olgun 18:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC) Image:Wowereit.JPG listed for deletionAn image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Wowereit.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

I have changed the license to precisely the one given on flickr and removed the "own work" attribution (although you may release your edits to it under other licenses if you so choose, even if that isn't useful). Happy editing, Kusma (talk) 14:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC) FlickRIs there any reason you don't use the high resolution version of the pics from flickr? It's recommend to use them. --217.83.45.128 18:02, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
You seem to be in an edit war on this template. I know you're aware of the three-revert rule; but I do want to remind you that it's not an entitlement to three reverts per day and that you can be blocked even if you don't revert four times within 24 hours. I hope you'll be able to resolve the problem through discussion or dispute resolution, if necessary. Have a good day. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 18:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
The issue has been properly discussed [1]. A second editor agreed on the introduction of the EU flag and two editors signalized acceptance. My edit is a different version from the ones before. There is no reason of blocking this account. Unblock it as soon as possible. Lear 21 10:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Re EU flag in templateHi again Lear 21,
If you mean my trying to accommodate the flag on the lefthand side of the template, I did so only in case it were to remain. My own view is that it's unnecessary in that context. Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 05:55, 2 June 2007 (UTC) License tagging for Image:Summerraininberlin.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Summerraininberlin.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images. For more information on using images, see the following pages: This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC) Welcome! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.
Berlin featured article candidateI created the subpage for you: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Berlin. A few objections that have been raised; you may want to edit the article in response to these objections or reply to them. Resurgent insurgent 21:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC) Image:Thefalloftheberlinwall1989.JPGHi Lear, are you the photographer of Image:Thefalloftheberlinwall1989.JPG? You've licensed it as if you were, but then you also put "This image was released and featured by the Senate of Berlin" and "Photo is believed to be in the public domain". If you're not the photographer, you need to provide the source of the image, as well as explain why you believe it to be in the public domain. —Angr 18:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC) Image:PeopleBerlin.jpgWhat about Image:PeopleBerlin.jpg? Are you the photographer of that? —Angr 18:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC) Possibly unfree Image:Großer Stern, Schloss Bellevue.jpgI found a third one. Since you objected so strenuously to the previous two, I'm listing Image:Großer Stern, Schloss Bellevue.jpg at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images instead of speedy-deleting it myself. —Angr 19:13, 3 June 2007 (UTC) Just stop this bureaucratic foolishness. What is wrong? It took a long time researching and licensing these images. Stop it. Lear 21 19:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC) EU HistoryHi there, how are you? We may have been on slightly different sides on the country infobox thing, but you clearly know what you're doing and have a passion for it. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the History of the European Union page is incredibly thin on the ground considering the subject matter, the only real history there is more a history of enlargement. I've been expanding the histories of Parliament and the Commission as test cases and although there is plenty of media around (ena.lu for example) I do no think I could deal with the diverse nature of the history alone, with many kinds of events not being outside my area or not even knowing about them. Plus there is just too much of it. So I am planning on setting up a taskforce, or just a small collaboration, on EU history (including the history of the rest of Europe through this period) in order to get the range and skills necessary to create a great article and improve EU history articles as a whole. I also hope it should reinvigorate the EU Wikiproject, which seems a but dormant. If you're interested, hop on board, I need help just setting this thing up and getting people in, let alone the actual work! Thanks. - J Logan t/c: 13:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject BerlinI have created a temporary page for WikiProject Berlin. If you are interested, you can sign up there. Kingjeff 18:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
This is not just about expansion. It's also about maintaining. Kingjeff 21:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC) Dear Lear 21I realise your English is not great, Lear 21, so I'll take the time to point out to you that the English word "country" is a term with broader meaning than the English term "sovereign state"; the latter only refers to nations or geographical entities with full or de jure political independence; the term "country" includes the latter, but its meaning is not confined to it. Also, check out WP:Vandalism for guidelines on what that term means on English wikipedia. Hope that clears up some of your confusions. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 23:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
hiwhy did you revert my change on the Germany page with the map? I think the imagemap version is useful, because you can get to the pages through clicking on the different parts of the map. Csörföly D 20:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
EP - peerHi, I was wondering if you have a minute if you could do me a favour. I'm hoping to help get the European Parliament page to featured now it is up to GA. Could you take a look and give a bit of feedback for me to work on please. It would be a great help and I'd appreciate your comments. But of course only if you have the time. Thanks. - J Logan t/c: 14:05, 21 June 2007 (UTC) RE: Europe locator mapsHi there! I have every intention of enhancing and completing this series of maps. However, some editors (particularly at Netherlands) challenged this new/old style of map; this spawned competing maps and a generally productive (though protracted) discussion at the Country Wikiproject regarding new standard maps for EU/European and, ultimately, all countries. Amid some indecision, this discussion is still underway; I have yet to produce some SVG variants but will upload these when I can. I am swamped with work (and am, thus, unavailable) for the bulk of this week, and will return to this on the weekend, after which I can hopefully complete what I started. In the meantime, any comments or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! Quizimodo 00:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC) LIst of countries by populationThe entries in the list are based primarily on List of countries. An entry is unranked if its population is included in another entry's figure. Seeing as the EU is not part of that list and there is currently no push for its inclusion in that list, it is not appropriate here. The UN Population Report has 230 entries, which include self-governing territories that do not have full sovereignty and is not related to UN membership. For internal consistency, either the EU should be on all list of countries or on none of the lists of countries. --Polaron | Talk 02:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Please join the ongoing discussion on how to include the EU at Talk:List of countries and territories by total area. Thanks. --Polaron | Talk 02:33, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
The EU in its current state is a sui generis entity. Because of its multiple 'country'- like characteristics it belongs to the list. It is unranked due to its semi-souvereign status. Lear 21 12:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
@User:Parsecboy The EU entry is justified and can be backed with various serious arguments. You know that and all other decent editors know that as well. The EU entry will be established. Lear 21 13:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
What is important? Ruins of Berlin or the largest German Nazi concentration camp (1.1 million people were killed there)?
The small section allows only two images because of layout reasons. Nazi rule and the following destruction have the highest priority here. Auschwitz and deportation is mentioned in the section with written text. Lear 21 10:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC) EU entryOf course. --Eurocopter tigre 12:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Look, I'm tired of wasting my time having to play rv with you. I want to sort this out but I equally want to be blunt about this. I do not think the justification you give for many of your edits even make sense, let along justify what you do. What annoys me though is you hardly even go to the talk page for anything and seem obsessed about images while other editors have spent the last few weeks working hard on improving the text. We're very close to getting GA quality and you keep adding pointless images and uncited information. I won't revert you latest revert, which you didn't even justify this time, so long as you also cease all edits on that article please. I'd like to talk through this first like civilised people. You willing? - J Logan t: 14:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
EU in listsHi! DSuser is on a crusade to eliminate the European Union from all lists of countries, namely: List of countries and outlying territories by total area, Template:AreaChartOver1.5m, List of countries by population, Template:PopulationChartOver500m, Template:PopulationChart50m-500m, List of countries and federations by military expenditures, List of countries by GDP (nominal), List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita, List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita, List of countries by population density, List of countries by English-speaking population, List of countries by exports, List of countries by rail transport network size It would be of help if you could join the discussion. Thanks! —Nightstallion 14:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC) There's a central discussion at Talk:European Union/inclusion in lists of countries now. Please state your opinion; thanks! —Nightstallion 09:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it is similar enough to country outline to have its stability, yet is more adapted to the EU. We are near agreement on it but need more comments. We still need to sort a few things like the CAP section of course. See talk page and User:JLogan/JFS. Thanks. - J Logan t: 16:49, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to say that, but your desire to talk about every detail is overemphasized. Most of the reestablished content has been equally discussed in an extensive manner before your first edits. Lear 21 11:14, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
just a noteHi, sorry to bother but I'd just like to say something on the EU edits again. I do think you've been doing some great changes of late, and many of the points you bring up are valid. But I feel your tact is un-necceserily provoking hostility towards your intentions. People are just being bold in putting up ideas and, while I am sure you do not intend it, your reverts come rather quickly with seemingly cold summaries. It does not help the development of the article in this way as you do not really provide feedback on it so the idea can be improved, and do not engage in the debate long term so your ideas can be added to the brainstorming. Rather you seem to be a hand that comes out of the clouds every now and then to knock the the tower of babel over, as soon as it gets half way, only to retreat back into the clouds without explaining to man that the reason it is being knocked down is that it doesn't have good feng-shui. So if you could, it would be nice if you'd get into the debate a bit more, and try to fuse new ideas together with your own ideas and principles. Thanks for your time. - J Logan t: 17:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

CommentWhat do you want me to do? Protest him asking advice? If you feel you are in the right then just be ready to make your case if he starts action, if you want to avoid that then think about the discussion. You seem to have a very confrontational manner which provokes these reactions. I'm sure if you articulated your argument in a softer tone he might be willing to concede more.- J Logan t: 13:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
