Your edits to New York City

Hi. I saw that you've been editing the list of New York City's "sister cities" to say that Rome is "only a partner city, not a sister city."

I'm unclear on what you mean by this. As far as I can tell, neither the official New York City government's Sister City Program page or the SCI page listing New York City's SCI affiliations uses anything other than the term "sister city" to refer to Rome's affiliation with New York City. Can you clear this up, either here or on my talk page, before editing the New York City page again? It seems apparent that the two most authoritative sources are the cited sources : the NYC government's website and the directory for SCI (under whose auspices New York runs its "sister city" relationship with Rome).

French Army etc

I have reverted your changed to the lead on French Army, Navy and Air Force because the name of the article should be in bold and the name should be the most common used in English. Carl Logan 13:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I think my lead is better and more commonly used on Wikipedia. Have you even bothered to read articles on other non-English speaking armed forces for comparison? Carl Logan 13:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I think you are wrong, but it is a minor matter all things considered. I also want to apologize, I was frustrated on other things and I took it out on you.

Marianne

The origin and significance of the female portrayed in the statue has been speculated and disputed by many. If you have credible information that indicates that the female (Marianne) who's usually portrayed wearing a Phrygian cap and is a symbol of the french republic was the persona intended by Bartholdi, please feel free to add the statement that the statue was modeled as Marianne, otherwise it's part of the original research that has circulated around some of the mystery of the statue.

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. Kariteh 18:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Kariteh 18:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Images on Île Longue

Please refrain from removing the images from Île Longue, or kindly explain why you do so. Everytime you do it, restoring them involves paperwork. Thank you in advance. Rama 09:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Paris Fire brigade

Hello, just letting you know that I have edited one of your statements about the Paris Fire Brigade. The Paris Fire Brigade is not the second largest Fire Dept/Brigade in the world and FDNY is not the largest. Tokyo is by far the largest when it comes to sheer frontline manpower at 17,537 uniformed. The FDNY is somewhere around 15,000. dnixus

Request

Hi. I’m looking to add free-licensed photographs of the various season residences of the American reality TV show The Real World to the articles for those seasons, so I’m contacting editors whom it appears may live in or near those cities. Do you live in or near Paris, and if so, would you be able to take some high-quality pics of the Paris residence, and upload them here if I give you the location? If not, do you know anyone who can? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:21, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

French Air Force

The French Air Force is not the oldest independent air force. It was for years an arm of the Army. Binksternet (talk) 03:30, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited César Award for Best Actress, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Artist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
