Why are you against Czechia? It is a legal English word. People around me commonly use it and it begins to be used even in the official papers. You are right that the Czech Republic used to be used more often but it is changing.

I personally do not think that Centauri is Gene Poole. For one, he does not have Gene Poole's attitude. For another, Atlantium is the only micronation page he has touched so far; he doesn't share Gene Poole's obsession with micronations.
Even if he is Gene Poole, I am willing to give him a second chance. As long as this user doesn't handle user who disagree with him by resorting to petty insults and name calling, and as long as this user doesn't handle disagreements via revert wars, everything should be OK.

Will you please stop removing the country templates? Acknowlegde all the work that went behind making these templates and updating them to the newest format. And please try to see the usefulness in having these templates in the first place. You want Wikipedia to be easy to edit. To a lot of people it is not very inviting to see a bunch of alien code when they're trying to edit an article. Also take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countries and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Countries. —Cantus…☎ 04:49, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

I just blocked Lazyfair for 24 hours. Danny 04:48, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Cantus's use of sockpuppets has caused Danny and I to find find his ISP and block his IP range for six months. After that, if he returns, he is liable to appear before Arbcom again about his abuse of sockpuppets. Warmest regards --Neutralitytalk 07:20, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
I would like to know why you reverted all the changes to the country pages by manually adding the info table into them instead of using a template which is the current trend. If you cannot explain this to me, I am going to revert the versions back because you made no comments about why you were doing this. Páll 00:08, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Yes, but you went on a personal crusade and reverted the changes without asking anyone. Many users have since reverted your changes. You even reverted changes on pages that had been using formats for a long time without asking anyone. You need to generate concensus just as much as anyone. I'm watching you, if you continue to change this without seeking further concesus, I have no fear of protecting pages. Páll 00:54, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Instead of continuing this revert war, I think we should start a poll to solve this within the community. What do you think of this? Páll 04:03, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to make sure that everything was okay with Cantus. We blocked his ISP for 6 months. I don't know if the block will last that long, but at least it will send a serious message. If there are any problems please let me know, and I will do what I can to try and help. Danny 05:11, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

User:Gzornenplatz was blocked today for violations of the arbitration decision (Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Gzornenplatz, Kevin Baas, Shorne, VeryVerily/Proposed decision#Enforcement), which says "2) If Gzornenplatz, Shorne, or VeryVerily should revert a page without discussing it on the relevant talk page, an administrator may ban him for up to 24 hours."
As can be seen in the table, Gzornenplatz has been repeatedly removing the country infobox template link, and replacing it with the full text. This has been done carefully at just over 24 hour increments (so as not to break that Arbitration ruling), but he has not discussed these edits on the relevant pages, nor abided by the consensus from many editors that his edits are not wanted, and this effort is creating an extra burden on other users. Rather than being constructive, he continues to push this particular agenda. As such, he is being blocked for one day for each offence listed here, for a total of 56 days. In reality, this only represents a portion of the edits, specifically only those articles he has reverted 2, 3, or 4 times. Many articles have been only reverted once by him in this way. Páll 06:42, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
is there a difference worth reverting?? doesnt seem like it to me. Xtra 12:27, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
This stuff should never be in a template. If editors are "frightened" of HTML, they probably shouldn't leave home.Dr Zen 07:45, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I am concerned with the growing edits regarding maps of Indian states. You have reverted many state maps which depict a biased and incorrect map. The maps which depict the accuracy of the Kashmir territory administration should be depicted rather than the biased one. Please do not revert to the biased maps. Regards, Nichalp 20:36, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
Hello again. Given the vigilante tendency to disregard whatever you are saying just because you are saying it, when someone starts botherning you about the country infobox templates, it may be a good idea to direct that person to Mav's comments, since is is generally regarded as someone who speaks with a great deal of authority on these matters. 172 23:04, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Regarding the template v. infobox debate, a compromise seems to have been worked out at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Countries. It has already been applied to Netherlands. Please let me know what you think of it. It is a variable template, in which the information itself will reside in each country article. Danny 06:56, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Would you please settle the issue with infobox template first, instead of reverting articles back and forth? --Gene s 10:41, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Wikipedia:Edit summary says "Always fill the summary field." (emphasis in the original). Please fill in the Edit Summary when you edit an article, so the rest of us don't have to resort to a "diff" to see what you did. Thanks! Noel (talk) 12:48, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. I know not everyone uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks!

Hi, there's a new Solution E that's been proposed for the country infoboxes; I've changed my vote from the Solution D that I proposed, earlier. The new option, proposed by User:Zocky, transcludes a subpage instead of using the template mechanism for this.
See: Nepal's infobox is implemented at Nepal/infobox using Template:Infobox_Country; Tuvalu's is implemented at Tuvalu/infobox as a wiki table.
Discussion is at: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Countries

Reverting the addition of a disambiguation link, marking it as minor, giving a wrong edit summary (format), and not commenting on it on the talk page is a violation of your parole (see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Gzornenplatz, Kevin Baas, Shorne, VeryVerily). Please don't do that again, or you may be blocked. -- Chris 73 Talk 01:09, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I have just noticed on the encyclopaedia page an entry described a dictionary. There is a great overlap of content between books having either word in their titles, so I have in mind to re-work the dictionary pages to the same format we have for the encyclopaedia pages namely with lists of them sorted by centuries and within each century sorted by type. As usual I am so busy I have not had time to do anything about it. Do you have a view please about this proposal, which is meant to make a user-friendly layout between the two pages. I got the idea from the Architecture pages. Cheers Apwoolrich 11:00, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I've protected your User page because it's being repeatedly vandalized tonight. If you want me or some other sysop to unprotect it, you can leave a message on my Talk page, or ask any other sysop and they'll do it for you. RickK 07:18, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)
The case against you has closed. It is the decision of the Arbitration Committee that the hard ban previously applied to your account, Wik, also applies to this account. You are reminded that you may appeal the ban to Jimbo Wales or to the Arbitration Committee, via e-mail, IRC, or other means of contact outside of Wikipedia. Please see the final decision for details. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 00:32, 2005 Feb 7 (UTC)
