== "Sharat Chandra" ==

Generally, if a user blanks a page and they're the only substantial editor (bot edits, interwiki links, maintenance templates, etc... do not count as substantial), it's considered a [[Wikipedia:CSD#General|CSD A7]] ("Author requests deletion") deletion request.

Instead of reverting the blanking in that case, it's better to simply add a {{tl|db-author}} tag and wait for an admin to delete it.

Thanks for all the hard work. :) [[User:Kylu|Kylu]] ([[User talk:Kylu|talk]]) 07:12, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I did not mean for the link to Oasis Academy: MediaCity: UK to be an advertisement, just a link to show where I got my information from and to prove its existence. I thought the link was meant to be placed there. I wouldn't want to advertise it, I go to the school at the moment and it's rubbish! {{unsigned|79.67.99.222}}

:Hi there, make sure your edits are always [[WP:RS|Reliably sourced]] for verifiability.

== Geography of Georgia ==

Link to the "international recognition of Abkhazia and Ossetia" has nothing to do with the contents of the article imho.

I deleted I few maps of Georgia, because they closely remembled each other and didn't contain any additional information, so it would make sense to leave just one of them, and delete the rest.

Map about political divisions of Georgia (including its separatist disputes) is really not relevant in that article. I'm not suggesting it can't be used at all, but it should really be used in an article that provides context for it, and the article about phisical georgaphy of Georgia, its terrain and climate is not one of these.

I suggest all the images highlighting political divisions of Georgia be moved to [[Administrative divisions of Georgia (country)]][[User:Keverich1|Keverich1]] ([[User talk:Keverich1|talk]]) 12:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:In the future, discuss the changes you make on the article's talk page. For now though, I've re-reverted to your edits. Moving the images to [[Administrative divisions of Georgia (country)]] will require consensus, so I suggest you make a straw poll on the talk page, and then work from there.

== [[Act respecting the exercise of the fundamental rights and prerogatives of the Québec people and the Québec State|Act]] ==

Hi Flewis, is it possible if you could explain what you mean by "unconstructive" means? (Do you mean it literally, because if its used in the sense of "does not seem to contribute anything" then I would go about justifying it by saying that its to counter the image of deliberate anachronism in the article.) I am guessing that its a form letter from [[Wikipedia:Huggle|Huggle]], but as I said in the edit summary, I won't put it back in.

:Hi there, after looking back on your edits, I see they were not "un-constructive" at all. That was an error on my behalf (Unfortunately this is one of the very few times that editor's such as myself mistakenly revert good-faith edits among the thousands of vandalism-related edits). I've re-instated your version. Apologies for the inconvenience. --'''[[user:Flewis|<span style="font-family:Rockwell;color:#E49B0F">Flewis</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Flewis|<span style="font-family:Rockwell;color:#FE2712">(talk)</span>]]</sup>''' 12:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

[[User:Lulubon|Lulubon]] ([[User talk:Lulubon|talk]]) 13:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, please revert your change to page Simona Pauca.
Page Simona Pauca should be a redirect page to page Simona Păucă. Simona Păucă is the correct name and spelling of this person. Please check the Romania page
http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simona_Păucă. Thank you. I appreciate your message, indeed I should have explained better the reason for my edit.

==Cut & paste move==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give {{#if:Simona Pauca|[[:Simona Pauca]]|a page}} a different title by copying its content and pasting it into {{#if:|[[:]]|another page with a different name}}. This is known as a "[[cut and paste]] move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]] which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen]]. {{#if:As others have already requested, '''please slow down and actually look at what edits you are making and reverting'''.|As others have already requested, '''please slow down and actually look at what edits you are making and reverting'''.|Thank you.}} <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove--> --[[User:DAJF|DAJF]] ([[User talk:DAJF|talk]]) 13:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

[[User:Lulubon|Lulubon]] ([[User talk:Lulubon|talk]]) 13:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC) Hi, thanks a lot for your comment. I tried first to move the page by using the "move" tab but I did not manage to write symbols like ă, Â, Ỹ in the "To new title" tab. Please if possible, could you tell me how to do that? Thanks.

Hi

Nikki DuBose has asked me to remove the photo I posted of her which is why I removed it. I would also like the photo to be removed from the Wiki Database but don't know how to do it.

thanks........ Glenn

:Seeing as you uploaded the [[:Image:Nikki DuBose 2008.jpg|image]], if you want it deleted, consider pasting the following onto the "file" page pf the image: <nowiki>{{db-author}}</nowiki> - this basically means that the uploader of the photo (i.e. you) requests deletion.
