Anastasio Somoza Debayle

His article says that when running for president in 1974 he outlawed nine opposition parties. Is this inaccurate? Gazpacho 19:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but he never made Nicaragua a one-party state. There was the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. Granted, the difference between the two was dubious, but still.

License tagging for Image:Cold War Map 1959.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Cold War Map 1959.PNG. 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 00:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Anti-communist parties

Hi. I notice you created the new category (although it is a bit vague and problematic, it may work). I have National Fascist Party and the category for fascist parties on my watchlist, and I wanted to let ypu note that I reverted your edit on the former: the former is included in the latter, and the latter is included in the new category, so individual inclusion of parties is redundant. Thank you. Dahn 00:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries

Hi MinnesotanConfederacy. I'd like to request that you start using edit summaries in your edits, as they are helpful for others to determine what the content of your edit is. As you can see from your contributions, you very rarely use them. Thanks. Picaroon9288 00:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Bogus Categories

Please don't add unnecessary categories like Category:Jamaican anti-communists and Category:Kenyan anti-communists. They are completely unnecessary, not useful and just add clutter. Hu 23:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Your request for Greater Somalia edit on Wikipedia talk:Blank maps

I'm curious what the map is needed for, I can't think of a reason that a world map needs Greater Somalia boundaries, but a regional map might be much more appropriate. --Canuckguy 15:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

WP Indonesia Project

Are you aware of this? Are you aware of the protocols of the formal procedures for creating categories in wikipedia? SatuSuro 04:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

No, I am not. However, if I created inappropriate categories, please feel free to delete them. Josh 04:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• Before going into an indonesian category - it would be first
• (1) a good idea to see the official process for reviewing category proposals
• (2) when in a subject area - see if there is a project where you can propose an idea to the members of that project

• That way you are less likely to create a reaction that reflects badly on your activities - its one thing to have a bright idea- another if it actually fits into what is already happening! - SatuSuro 04:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• • I see. Thanks a lot. :) Josh 04:29, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Its just that some eds and admins when they see you have already had problems with creating cats - it looks like you havent gone to WP:Category to come to terms with the issues - if you read that, you might be less likely to create them on whim - and a s a consequence will become a more valued member of the wikipedia community with a bit more wisdom of one of the components on what makes it all tick!

Somoza

Hi, you placed an NPOV tag on the "Assassination and legacy" section of the Anastasio Somoza García article but did not explain why on the talk page. Though I could see a couple of words you might have a problem with, I think the section is fairly neutral (though the middle paragraph doesn't actually fit into the topic that well). I would encourage you to post a note on the talk page explaining what you think violated NPOV and/or edit the section yourself so we can remove the tag.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 02:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Misessuit.jpg

Hello MinnesotanConfederacy, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Misessuit.jpg) was found at the following location: User:MinnesotanConfederacy. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox.

EndUN Userbox

Hi, until recently you displayed my EndUN userbox on your user page--I'm glad you liked it. What you may not realize is that on June 29, User:Dmcdevit edited your user page and replaced the code with code more to his her/his liking. Among other things, this action partially and selectively depopulated Category:Wikipedians interested in the United Nations--most likely removing your user name from the category.

I'm disputing the actions of Dmcdevit at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_July_1#User:DieWeisseRose.2FUserboxes.2FEndUN. So, please consider having a look and joining in the discussion. In the meantime, if you want to put my original userbox code back on your user page then here it is: {{User:DieWeisseRose/Userboxes/EndUN}} Cheers. --DieWeisseRose 03:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! BTW, I landed up on your user page because you catagorized Abdul Kalam as a Tamil politition. He's not really a politition. In fact he has never contested for any public office (except the President's election, which was a complete no-contest). I think this was discussed before on the talk page. Cheers. Amit 17:59, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm really interested in learning more about India. Do you have MSN messenger? Josh 18:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

No but I have Google talk. You can use it too if you have a gmail account. Amit 18:01, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I do. How does Google talk work? Josh 18:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

You just log into your mail account. You'll see your contacts listed at the left in a box. You can use that to chat(you may need select "standard view"(with chat) at the bottom of the page, if that's not already selected").

All right, thanks. Mine is roachbusters@gmail.com if you'd like to add me. :) Josh 18:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey there! ReluctantPhilosopher has loved you by placing a heart icon in the top-right corner of your userpage. Don't worry, it's not vandalism, but simply a small way to spread the WikiLove.

Minor edits

Hello. I noticed that you marked your recent edit to April 17 as a minor edit. Looking at your contribs it seems that you mark most of your edits as minor. Keep in mind that edits should only be marked as minor if they are truly minor edits (no substantive addition or subtraction of content). Have a look at WP:MINOR for details. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 13:14, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Possible errors in Image:New Cold War Map 1980.png

Hi MinnesotanConfederacy,

I wonder if Panama was ever an "Other ally of the U.S.S.R."? The US had a good enough relationship with Noriega, having installed him in the '70s, and removed him years after 1980. I don't recall him ever allying himself with the Soviets.

Also, is Jamaica colored non-aligned?

Brazilian Constitution, 1824

Hi, I don't believe you'll find the English text online. If you're REALLY interested in it, the book Slavery, Freedom, and the Law in the Atlantic World: A Brief History with Documents by Sue Peabody and Keila Grinberg contains the full version of 1824 Political Constitution of the Empire of Brazil. Try Amazon Books. --von Tamm (talk) 02:16, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. It's the full version. I went to the library and checked it just a couple hours ago.--von Tamm (talk) 03:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, glad to be of help. I'll be emailing it to you next week when I be back to school.--von Tamm (talk) 03:04, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

You don't need to do anything in return, although I am curious to learn why you are so interested in it. Unfortunately, I can not translate all of it to you, since there are 179 articles in it. Forgive any spelling mistake made by me. I believe it will be enough to understand and correct any error.

Political Constitution of the Empire of Brazil

In the name of the Most Holy Trinity.

Title I.

Of the Empire of Brazl, its territory, government, dynasty and religion.

Art. 1. The Empire of Brazil it is the political association of all Brazilian citizens. They form a free and independent nation, that does not allow with any other any tie of union or federation that opposes its independence.

Art. 2. Its territory is divided in provinces in the form that it is presently, of which can be subdivided as request the well being of the State.

Art. 3. Its government is a representative, constitutional, hereditary monarchy.

Art. 4. The ruling dynasty it is the one of Senhor D. Pedro I, present Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil.

Art. 5. The Roman Apostolic Catholic religion will persist as the religion of the Empire. All the other religions are allowed in its private or domestic cul, in houses destinated to that purpose, without any form of exterior temple.

An observation of mine: the article 5 was effectively a dead letter. There were jewish and protestant temples in Brazil and many others were opened during the Empire. Since both Brazilian Emperors, as well as the politicians and even the society, were very tolerant, nothing was ever done against the ones who were not catholics.

I will translate other pieces of the constituon once there is more time since I am very busy working at Pedro II of Brazil article. --Lecen (talk) 19:41, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Unused raster image not used to create the corresponding [[:File:Cold War Map 1980.svg |vector image]] and thus is not needed for attribution purposes

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
