Ok so there a person who has removed lifespans from the list of presidents of guatemala . Also he made massive changes to the list of prime ministers of france and articles looks nothing like other lists the issue is GoldRingChip has like 131,999 edits is here much longer than me and i dont want to go and have an edit war and potentially get in trouble. My plan in these cases is usually to just let be and come back a few months later but these time i have been pretty much demoralized here . Is there anything you could do since you are also an experianced editor ? Friendlyhistorian (talk) 17:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GoldRingChip: As Friendlyhistorian noted, some of your edits at President of Guatemala and List of prime ministers of France does seem to be illogical and unnecessary, especially the removal of lifespans. It should be restored IMHO, as its obviously a widely accepted element of list of officeholders on English Wikipedia. I see no reason to make a difference in these two cases... Also, there could be some other issues with your version of the French PMs list, but not quite radical as the lifespan issues. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)18:04, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly I think lots of data could be included as interesting although excessive. And lifespan is just not necessary. Regardless, I shall restore those articles to keep my fellow editors happy. —GoldRingChip18:18, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC BY-SA), version 4.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:City Assembly of Belgrade with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:City Assembly of Belgrade saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.
@Justlettersandnumbers: As can be seen, I have created the article in question (City Assembly of Belgrade) quite some time ago (back in 2018), and at the present time I am really not interested in some serious/comprehensive work on that article. Of course, I can only thank you for your notification, and I can say that if any copyright infringement took place, it was completely unintentional on my part. Naturally, any material that resulted from such infringement should be removed from the article, and replaced with something sourced and acceptable. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)21:37, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, Sundostund – the article will probably be deleted in a week or so unless someone chooses to rewrite it. The big question, of course, is whether you think that there might be other articles where you've copied content from non-free sources? If so, please mention them here so that they too can be cleaned up. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:32, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Justlettersandnumbers: Yes, I understand. Obviously, I wouldn't want to see this article deleted. Same goes for City Assembly of Novi Sad, which is in the same position (but wasn't created by me). I would like to "save" them both, but I honestly have no idea how to rewrite them into something acceptable, with reliable free sources, and without turning it into a mammoth task... and no, I don't remember any other article created by me, that could have the same issue as this one. Naturally, mistakes could happen, but as I said, even this one wasn't intentional at all. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)20:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) That's fair enough, Sundostund, writing a properly-sourced article is indeed a lot of work – and so is something that to my great regret I hardly ever do any more. I said 'deleted', but it's actually more likely that it will become a redirect to the page on the city; that means that you could write a small amount about it in that page with having to worry whether it meets our notability requirements and so on. If over time that develops sufficiently you'd always be free to split it off into a separate page. And yes, will look at those too.

You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.
This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
If you were granted the permission on a temporary basis you will need to re-apply for the permission a few days before it expires including in your request a permalink to the discussion where it was granted and a {{ping}} for the administrator who granted the permission. You can find the permalink in your rights log.

@Overthrow-dictator: Yes, you got it - and rather quickly, to be honest! I'm glad because of that, but I can't say that I like how you got the idea for that color; I'm def not a SRS voter myself. Still, if that's your (political) position, than fine... I myself am associated with green color around here for some time now (not just because of Green politics), so that's why I use green color for my signature as well. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)13:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a voter for the СРС, I just think the color is cool. My color is red, but it didn't look as good as this. If we're getting political, my (personal) party I would vote for would be the СДСС in Croatia, as I like their ideological views. Anyways, yea, thanks for all!

Hi Sundostund i am sorry for bothering you . May i ask for help ? i have dispute with the a user named Skjoldbro we been arguing about election positioning its been a back and forth . Now He has left messages on the talk page of another article and the wikiproject politics . Can you help me trying to get him to talk on either his talk page or mine and help us solve the dispute . Friendlyhistorian (talk) 12:56, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Friendlyhistorian: In all honesty, I am very reluctant to get myself involved in disputes, of almost all kinds, or to participate in disputes of other editors. I can only reccomend to both you and Skjoldbro to discuss your differences and find some compromise, as any sort of edit-warring would only make the problem deeper and/or result in blocks. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)17:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok no worries i just see you are an authority on lists but no worries . Take care and happy editing . Also something unrealted would you mind if i asked a few questions about editing later at some point ? Friendlyhistorian (talk) 17:56, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
Hi. I'm trying to improve List of presidents of Burundi to FL status. I'll be nominating it as soon as I can. To that end, I noticed that you reverted some of the changes that I've done to the list. To avoid an edit war, I'll explain why a couple of your reversions should be undone
[1] Every row is supposed to have one unique cell known as the header cell. This is denoted by the "!" at the beginning and it has "scope=col".
[2] tables are supposed to have captions. This caption can be set to be visible for screen-readers only, if it deemed appropriate to not show them normally.
If you agree with me, then please undo those reversions. If not, we can discuss it further and I can point to the relevant sections of the MOS. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824: Hi. I wasn't aware that you are trying to improve the list to FL status, and I wouldn't want to interfere with that. Actually, I've just formatted List of presidents of Rwanda the same way as you did with the Burundian list... Anyway, I think that I corrected the issues you had with my reversions. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)08:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for fixing those two issues. Are you interested in bringing one of the list articles that you've started to FL status? It might be a bit harder for the Rwanda one, since some reviewers prefer FL nominations of lists with at least 10 entries. Anyway, if you are interested, I'm happy to either work on a list together with you, or give you pointers on improving a list that you work on yourself. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824: You're welcome... And yes, of course, I am interested in bringing some of them to FL status, but I doubt that I could dedicate myself to such work at this time. As for the Rwandan list, I formatted it the same way as the Burundian list for the sake of certain consistency – having in mind close historical and political relations between the two countries – not really because I aimed for FL status for it (although it woudl certainly be nice if that happen). — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)08:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt that I could dedicate myself to such work at this time. It isn't as hard or as time-consuming as one would think. Choose a similar head of state list. I'd be happy to give you as many pointers as needed for that, and you can take as long as needed (months, even) before nomination. Even after nomination, there is a lot of leeway in how long you take to fix issues and respond. I would really encourage you to try one. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824: I meant that I want to focus on some different kind of work at this time; recently I wasn't as much active on WP as I wanted to anyway, so I'd want to focus on some other things (not to mention real life commitments). Thank you very much for your offer of help! I'll certainly have it on my mind, at some later point. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)11:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, as you might have noticed, I nominated the list for FL. A reviewer pointed out that the exact dates of joining and leaving as president aren't present in the individual references. Do you know where you found the info originally? I'm pretty sure that I would be able to get individual references for each date, but it would be better if it was all in one reliable source. Same problem with the party. Thanks. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824: Hi. I'm glad that you nominated the list, and hopefully the outcome will be positive... As for your question Do you know where you found the info originally?, I think that we have a misunderstanding here. I didn't find any info for the list (namely the exact dates of joining and leaving as president); I merely worked with the existing data, and reformatted the list some years ago. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)17:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since you were the editor with the most edits on the list, I kinda assumed that you started it too. Never mind about the sources: I found a good one and added it to the list. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On Rwanda and Burundi
sorry i reverted the edits i was not aware they were about accessibility . I did some other edit to keep most of the accessibility stuff . I get triger happy with certain articles since the kept getting vandalized. Btw would mind asking a question ? Friendlyhistorian (talk) 20:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok so one thing i notice about you is you do a lot of minor edits what exactly do you do if you dont mind saying like i compare the artilcles and they tend to be the say what do you do . Do you add sources ? Friendlyhistorian (talk) 21:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Friendlyhistorian: Well yes, I have a wide variety of interests when it comes to articles and editing, so I may appear to be "everywhere" – especially since we concluded, some time ago, that both you and me share interest in lists of officeholders... As for edits, both minor and major ones, I just change what I see as problematic or insufficient in an article. There is really no rule on that. — Sundostundmppria(talk / contribs)22:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah no worries i was just curious . I have not ever spoken to wiki editor about stuff not related to pages i edit so i got curious . Sorry if kept you busy. I been here many here but i still trying to figure things out . Friendlyhistorian (talk) 22:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also you are from the balkans so that is a point of interest since i am from the Balkans too. Also you have been very helpful in the past and i am happy to see you when i do edit on various pages . Friendlyhistorian (talk) 22:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sundostund... Thought I could fix that disclaimer note in your guestbook by adding a customised one. Ànyways, have a nice time. Volten001☎18:54, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sundostund. Thank you for your work on Tihomir Kundid. Another editor, Memer15151, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Good start.

Hello Sundostund, may you be surrounded by peace, success and happiness on this seasonal occasion. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person.

Hi Sundostund. Thank you for your work on Hugo Skopnik. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
There does seems to be sufficient notability here, given that Skopnik was the last Landeshauptleute (governor perhaps) of the German New Guinea Company. Thanks for the translation from German.
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
Let me know if you want an autopatrolled nomination; logs suggest that you had it approved back in May, but I can't see it on your account now. I'm not sufficiently in-the-know to work this one out! Klbrain (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for your article him. Would you happen to have any bibliographic data for reference number two, A DIRECTORY OF BRITISH DIPLOMATS? Publisher? Year? Anything to let a reader track down your source? I have no idea where to find it. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 04:57, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, thank you so much for your understanding about the removal! It not at all fun to remove what people so carefully create and I feel very conflicted about doing it. And thank you for telling me about the German article; I didn't think to look for an alternate language version. Lesson learned. I'll check for that from now on, just to be as careful as possible before editing others' contributions. You join the cadre of editors I've encountered who embody Wikipedia's ideal of civility and patience in dealing with others. I hope you and whoever you love have a safe, happy, productive 2025. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 00:08, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sundostund, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
I am honored to award you the Tireless Barnstar for your consistent, dedicated, and hard work on improving Wikipedia. Your unwavering efforts and persistence in contributing to the community do not go unnoticed. Your contributions make a significant impact, and I deeply appreciate the time and energy you put into enhancing the quality of content and maintaining a positive atmosphere.
