Venezuelan elections

Hello. Do you have a source for the parliamentary elections being brought forward to this year? I can't seem to find any mention of it. Cheers, Number 5 7 12:54, 22 February 2018 (UTC) Yes this http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/02/venezuelan-opposition-boycott-fraudulent-election-180221193918327.html .

FARC party

I saw you added FARC winning five seats in both the Chamber and the Senate to the results tables. In reality the party won zero seats in the Senate and received less than 1% of the vote. Just wondering why you made the changes you did and what the source was. Cheers, Number 5 7 16:33, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They also won zero seats in the Chamber as they received only 0.2% of the vote. Number 5 7 16:38, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi The peace Deal said that No matter what they would win 5 seats in each until 2025. Leftwinguy92 (talk) 01:35, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They have five seats reserved for them in the legislature. However, they didn't win any seats in the election. You adding them to the election results tables with five seats meant that the number of seats no longer added up correctly. Please be more careful with edits like this. Cheers, Number 5 7 21:09, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point

Just wanted to say that I see what you mean on your edits on Racism in South Africa. Thanks DumaTorpedo (talk) 16:43, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Uhuru Kenyatta. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 12:40, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Britannica Party

I noticed you suggested an update for Britannica Party. Basically, there's nothing of note to add in terms of activity, as fas as I can discern. However, it is still registered with the Electoral Commissiion and filed accounts in March 2017. I've added a brief paragraph to the article. Emeraude (talk) 12:03, 7 May 2018 (UTC) Thanks. Leftwinguy92 (talk) 12:45, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Brazilian anti-abortion activists

Hello. I reverted you in the João Doria article. Just because someone call himself "pro-life" that doesn't make him/her an "activist". Remember the description on the category itself: This category contains articles related to individual members of the mainstream pro-life movement in Brazil. It is for activists who are primarily notable due to their pro-life activism. This category is not a list of anyone who is pro-life (such as actors, musicians, or politicians). So, be aware of that. Thanks, Coltsfan (talk) 12:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Life would be easier for people reviewing your edits if your edit summaries told people what you are trying to do. The time you would save me (and others) from having to review-in-detail these edits, and work out what you are up to, would be much more productively used reverting the edits of liars, smart-arses and vandals which clealy you are not, but we need to spend time and effort looking at your edits before we can put your edits in the not-a-problem class. Best wishes, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:06, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So everything is good but I should edit the summaries.Leftwinguy92 (talk) 10:23, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Almost. I'm not complaining about your edits (yet). What I'm complaining about is that you haven't left / didn't useful leave edit summaries. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:48, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

World maps

by the way do you know how to do world Maps on wikipeaida?. i want some person to make a map. Leftwinguy92 (talk) 11:01, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly. Except I'm not sure what you mean. What do you want a map of? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well a world map of states that ban the Burka and the states that don't currently have a ban. Leftwinguy92 (talk) 11:34, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. OK, now I understand what you're after. Hmmm. That shouldn't be hard but, ... I don't have a quick answer for you. (And off the top of my head I can't think of an expert in the world-map area.) I've never tried to do it myself. I'll ask around and @Leftwinguy92: you in on any relevant discussions. But warning, don't hold your breath. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:56, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen an example of a world map? Maybe with an example we can track down an expert on the topic, or failing that, work it out ourselves ... Pdfpdf (talk) 11:56, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They have lots examples such as https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Venezuelan_presidential_election,_2018#/media/File:2018_Venezuelan_presidential_election_recognition_map.svg https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Capital_punishment_in_the_world.svg for the whole world map

and just for a European map https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Death_Penalty_laws_in_Europe.svg

File:2018 Venezuelan presidential election recognition map.svg - User:ZiaLater LOL! I see you've already been there!!
File:Capital_punishment_in_the_world.svg - (User:Kamalthebest is now User:LeRoiDesRois)
File:Death Penalty laws in Europe.svg (User:Lcmortensen; derivative work user:Giorgi Balakhadze)

That's identified a few experts, and I see you've already worked out that the best way to address this is to ask an expert like User:ZiaLater. (Not me.) Except, you should ask on User talk:ZiaLater, not on User:ZiaLater. It seems to me that you are on the right track. Never-the-less, if you'd ever like my assistance, please don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page and I'll be happy to try to help. After all, any editor who gets two requests on the same topic in close succession is at least three times as likely to pay attention. (Which therefore begs the question of which pages do you want me to ask upon? OK - I'm off to User talk:ZiaLater) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:55, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thank you I would love to ask you you to help make the maps if you like. Leftwinguy92 (talk) 13:06, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why has this editor been blocked? How is it that you can/may block an editor without providing and explanation? Pdfpdf (talk) 12:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you provide an explanation of why this user has been blocked, maybe this user can explain why they shouldn't be blocked. In the meantime, I'm totally unimpressed, and no doubt the poor user you've blocked is ... even less impressed. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason for other editors to discuss the user's block on the user's Talk page. The user can, if they wish, address the block. That is what the Talk page of a blocked user is for.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

"They" seem to think you're a sock of "user:Torygreen84". If you're not, you need to explain so. I know nothing about you other than we've had a conversation towards a productive goal, and you don't behave like a nuisance. If I can help you, and you know how I can help you, ask/tell. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:17, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All of my posts have been good and productive I don't want to be a nuisance. can you help me then. Leftwinguy92 (talk) 13:19, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See this, but when editing it I found it is a different editor who blocked you, and they have done so based on the investigations of a third editor. It seems that your IP address has a very smelly history. This is not a problem I'm familiar with; nor am I familiar with how to fix it. Let's see how Yamla responds. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. That's a classic politician's non-answer if I ever saw one, but as I predicted User: Bbb23 is the person to ask. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

user crossover. In general those the try to deceive the community don't get much as to why.....because they know why. Very hard to convince us that two editors use the same type of odd editsummaries.Moxy (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What edit summary is that exactly? Moxy? Can you point us to actual edit diffs or the use of these so-termed "odd editsumaries"? I think Pdfpdf and myself just want to get some clarification. As dynamic IPs can be blocked...it happened to me before logging in from College.

What edits, specifically are problematic in these two allegedly connected accounts? What edit signature or summary are you hinting at?

Boundarylayer (talk) 18:45, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the bloody guy. I have to say Wikipedia is looking so Unprofessional by blocking people for no reason. Leftwinguy92 (talk) 04:08, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
