Your right and that's part of the reason I'm not going to waste my time commenting anymore. I have explained my point and it doesn't seem like anyone wants to do due diligence and look into the background. Their bullies plain and simple, I don't feel like I should need to cower to those two jsut because they are allowed to do whatever they want. Kumioko ( talk) 18:20, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
I was considering creating a page for Jeremiah Metcalf, but I see that you were the admin that deleted a previous attempt. Per WP:NMMA a fighter is presumed notable if they fought at least three (3) professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization. WP:MMATIER lists Strikeforce as a top-tier MMA organization. Jeremiah Metcalf has had 3 fights in Strikeforce - one on October 7, 2006; once on November 16, 2007; and once on June 27, 2008 (see http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jeremiah-Metcalf-16262). Therefore, it would seem that he meets WP:NMMA and thus has a presumption of meeting WP:GNG according to WP:SPORTCRIT. Before creating this page, I wanted to find out some more information on why it was deleted and if the 3 fights in Strikeforce in view of WP:NMMA were considered.

16:35, 18 April 2013 (UTC)I'm tired of the whole matter; I have largely been avoiding political articles but happened to have Dix on my watchlist, saw the POV changes and reverted....and reverted and reverted and reverted, literally every few minutes, no time to think of rewriting it, and then during the time it took me to report it to 3RR and to BLP noticeboards, User:MastCell slapped down the block and protect and real editors came along to do what I hadn't had the time to do......and then the #$%@# reporter shows up and grabs the ball and claims a touchdown......and "has no regrets" for violating a host of Wikipedia guidelines/rules..........I came back here as recreation, after seeing to getting NPOV for Idle No More and Theresa Spence, which were out of control; now I'm being made a public pariah by a completely false news item (reliable source my a$#) and ganged up on by a bunch of info-goons..........and you know what? I'm in Koh Samui and won't even be voting in the election, I wouldn't even be voting NDP if I was.....there's a large body of historical and geographical material I'd intended on working on here; instead it seems that I'm going to have to face the adminship over complaints by a pack of......oh, never mind, it's just really disgusting and I'm bored with it; User:jb.murray reverted (censored) my reply to Macutty, pretty funny given that Macutty accuses me (and Resolute LOL) of being buddies and out to censor and that we're all a left-wing conspiracy and so on......sounds just like a troll in the HuffPo, quite frankly, and I have no doubt that's who some of these people are; Skookum1 was my blogging name for a long time before Wikipedia and only lately did I mention in the forums that I was a Wikipedia editor and it was shortly after that this kind of harassment started appearing here.........bored with it, if it goes to Dispute Resolution and it's not "tossed out of court" and becomes a burden to my time and energy, this will be the second time I leave Wikipedia; there's always Wikipedia Review where I can tell my story without being scolded and disciplined and be told not to WP:BITE the newbies; but what about newbies, or old lurkers, how are mounting a campaign to bite ME?? I could care less now, really, my life is moving on from BC, this was like an ugly part of its culture reaching across the Pacific and dragging me into the cesspit that is BC politics.......and amounts to bullying, but that is their m.o...........

I came across your post at the hockey page regarding your discussion about Eurohockey.net, which I missed out on. I re-opened it here:
. . . because I have some information about the site--namely that it's inactive. I think that's evident from visiting it and seeing that the latest updates were in March 2011. I know the creators of the site and they no longer have anything to do with it. They now operate Eurohockey.com, its successor site, which I mention in the re-opened discussion. Just thought I'd let you know. Cheers. Djob ( talk) 16:35, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Although the NHL lists dynasty teams, the question of dynasties is subjective, and unofficial dynasties are widely talked about and discussed in the NHL. Teams even sell dynasty banners (in the case of the 1970s Bruins, and movies have been made about the Broad Street Bullies Dynasty.) Additionally, no team has won back to back Stanley Cups in the modern era other than the 90-92 Penguins, and they are often referred to as a dynasty. Back to back NHL champion in the modern era (post 67) is unheard of as evidenced by it only occurring once. The 90s Red wings are repeatedly referred to as a dynasty even though they are not "officially" recognized on the NHL page. It is all encompassing for this section to list these unofficial dynasties, while making note that they are unofficial Alligatorwine ( talk) 2:26, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

(Bosanski) Želim da vas obavijestim da je se na bs.wiki donijela odluka da se uklone bot zastavice kod neaktivnih i/ili interwiki botova. Vaš bot spada u najmanje jednu od ove dvije kategorije. Ova odluka je donešena zbog zbivanja oko Wikidata koje je dovelo do toga da su interwiki botovi postali nepotrebni. Ako želite da zadržite vašu bot zastavicu onda možete podnijeti taj zahtjev ovdje sa dodatnim informacijama o poslovima koje bi bot obavljao i na koji nacin. Imajte na umu da ovo treba da bude konkretan i koristan posao za zajednicu da bi se zastavica zadržala. Ako imate bilo kakvih pitanja kontaktirajte me na mojoj stranici za razgovor. Ukoliko ne reagujete na ovu poruku će se uklanjanje zastavice izvršiti nakon nekoliko sedmica. Međutim, uvijek ste dobrodošli da podnesete novi zahtjev za bot zastavicu.
(English) I want to inform you that on bs.wiki there has been a voting that resulted in accepting the removal of bot flags for inactive and/or interwiki bots. Your bot has been identified to meet at least one of these criteria. This decision has been made due to the new developments with Wikidata by which all interwiki bots have become unnecessary. If you want to keep your bot flag, then please report that here by indicating what new task your bot will be performing and how this will be done. Note however that this has to be a concrete and useful task for the community before it will be accepted. If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. In case of no response, the removal of the bot flag will be performed within a few weeks from now. However, after that period you are always welcome to file a new request for a bot flag.

Hello Djsasso! I noticed that Dolovis has moved the player article "Hans Johan Andersson" to " Johan "Bois" Anderson". I don't agree with this move. "Bois" is just his nickname; alot of players have various nicknames from the fans, and I think we should go by his other firstname (as it was before this move). Do you think Dolovis' move was correct? Thanks in advance, Hey Mid ( contribs) 20:48, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Greetings. I just created a script that adds a tab to simple at the top of the page. I am still working on it (like making it appear in red if the page doesn't exist in simple) but it works pretty well. It saves the trouble of having to search the article for the link. Since I know you use simple a lot I thought you might find it useful. If you want to use it (or see it) here is the import script. You just need to add it to your Vector.js page. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

It seems that you don't want me to mention everyone who was in a Stanley Cup team picture with a footnote that they did not appear, for some reason. Several other Wikipedians, like Reso lute, think that it is perfectly fine to present these facts if I can cite that they were in the picture. What is wrong with mentioning everyone in a picture if it is a fact? It seems as if that you might be some New Jersey Devils fan who agrees with General Manager Lou Lamoriello, that only qualifying players should be in the team picture, like how Willie Mitchell was not in the picture in 2000; and trying to impose your beliefs on other teams. That is subjective, which is irrelevant. That is up to each team. It is objective that most other teams include non-qualifying players in the team celebration. They are on the roster in the sense that they are eligible to actually dress and play, even though they did not appear; but not, however, officially on the Stanley Cup roster engraved on the cup. What is wrong with including them in articles and distinguishing them from the official championship roster on the cup with footnotes? 108.0.244.168 ( talk) 19:56, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Can you please explain why you reverted the change to Hockey?. in the section entitled 'Other forms of hockey', the opening sentence states 'Other games derived from hockey or its predecessors include the following:'. As stated in my revision, Underwater hockey started as an underwater game called Octopush. I seen a reference that cites the inventor of Octopush as being unhappy with the current naming and that the game evolved as a winter-time diver training activity. These are the reasons why I object to the classification of Underwater hockey as a derivative of Hockey. Cowdy001 ( talk) 20:43, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I've since used a more recent photo.

The official sites are the only places to determine team rosters, but most of the editors use the last transactions that were listed at the same sites which did not indicate that any players were demoted. I was under the impression that RFAs should be listed on the rosters while UFAs are removed even though some editors had honored my to keep the UFAs listed because they could be re-signed and would be easier to add said players to the rosters. I only edit the Islanders & Devils' rosters and I "hide" those players who are "buried" in the system (like Josefson for the Devils). Raul17 ( talk) 14:03, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello could you help me move a page?
the Page Jeremy Blain was recently created, but it seems to be the wrong spelling. According to the Chicago Wolves reference article on the page it was spelled Jeremie Blain, which is the redirect and another redirect Jérémie Blain exists which is not pointing to this page. I did a Google search and it seems to indicate (if i did it correctly) that the name with the diacritics is the common name (9,210) and the current name the least used (5,200). Unfortunately the Utica Comets site has not added the roster yet to compare to. Because the diacritics is already in use I cannot move it on my own. Would you be able to help me move this?
Also I didn't check the coverage of the articles from the search to see if he meets to determine if he meets GNG or not, but it looks like he falls short of N:Hockey playing in only 72 minor league games. I figured I get the name situation figured out before worrying about that.

That being said, you fall into the all-too-typical trap of the partisan: that you equate failure to agree with your position with failure to understand your position. Regardless of your geopolitical grievances, there is a naming convention in place on Wikipedia, and we abide by it in our own articles. As with the Sorokin AfD, if you want to overturn that consensus, you know where to go to accomplish that. I'm afraid, though, again with the Sorokin AfD as a guide, you're going to have a hard time convincing people that your motives are anything beyond partisan nationalism.

Let's have a look at the substance. Latvia's occupation by Soviet Union (1940-1991) was a clear breach of Geneva Conventions and has never been recognised by most countries. Therefore, it would be absolutely misleading to state that the location of birth of Latvian sportsmen and other well known people is Soviet Union. Undoubtedly, reading about "born in Riga, Soviet Union" or "born in Riga, Latvian SSR" is very annoying to nearly all Latvian citizens using Wikipedia. The evidence that some of Latvian sportsmen have actually participated in USSR national teams does not justify the fact of Latvia's occupation by USSR. Please take note that as regards Latvia's neighbour country Estonia, none of Wikipedia articles state that Estonian people were born in Soviet Union. Have a successful studying of the history of three Baltic states and thanks for understanding! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LV1050 ( talk • contribs) 09:42, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Ok, let's have a compromise. People which really have collaborated with authorities during Soviet occupation (e.g. participated in USSR national teams) might have a reason for a birthplace "USSR". However, younger people which were born in the 80-ties obviously have not had any relation with the regime, so their birthplace is Latvia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LV1050 ( talk • contribs) 07:32, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
As a bureaucrat on frwiki, I was checking the activity of the bots, and noticed that yours had been inactive for at least 6 months. Morover, the interwikis are now centralized on Wikidata. It is not reasonable that an unmonitored account keeps a bot flag, as it may be more easily hacked. Do you wish to keep the bot flag? If this is the case, please tell me so (preferably on my talk page on frwiki, otherwise on my talk page on this project). Without any answer from you, the bot flag will be removed in one month.

Since June, there've been eleven bits of vandalism from the anon IP, working from 32.218 IP addresses, insistent on changing the United Hockey League to a "mid" level minor league instead of the low-level supported by the seven inline citations hanging off of it; you've reverted one yourself. (This doesn't count the number of ones before that from 64.252 addresses.) Given the persistent vandalism, what's the chance we can get the article changed to autoconfirmed-only ... or even better, to rangeblock 32.218 from the article?

Heya was just wondering of your opinion on how to advise a user to streamline their edits?
User:Wcreed88 is obviously a big Missouri Mavericks fan and adds good information, however by looking a player pages associated with the team has a tendency to over reference, redlink and change format of references to a way more confusing ref list section?! eg. Ross Ring-Jarvi.. or here's a before and after of Colby Cohen, from https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Colby_Cohen&oldid=633029578 to https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Colby_Cohen&oldid=633540693 (sorry was unsure how to link revision history)..Also there's an issue in linking player pages straight to Jersey database (John-Scott Dickson) i have no idea on the stance on that?
Was just curious if this can be approached or not, i'm not versed in this stuff at all so any help would be appreciated. Thanks Triggerbit ( talk) 23:27, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm not in a mood to argue but Your comment for the undo in which you state: "sorry there is strong consensus is to use name at time of birth. and no consensus has ever been achieved that Estonia was not part of the USSR at that time." (That's what I call POV pushing)
It's just silly and shows that You don't have enough knowledge about the history of Baltic states. Please take a minute and read this Occupation of the Baltic states. Especially this part: "The Baltic states, the United States and its courts of law, the European Parliament, the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations Human Rights Council have all stated that these three countries were invaded, occupied and illegally incorporated into the Soviet Union under provisions of the 1939 Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, first by the Soviet Union, then by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944, and again by the Soviet Union from 1944 to 1991. This policy of non-recognition has given rise to the principle of legal continuity, which holds that de jure, or as a matter of law, the Baltic states had remained independent states under illegal occupation throughout the period from 1940 to 1991." Do we need consensus on facts? -- Klõps ( talk) 20:25, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Jared, actually the status quo of Riin Tamm was changed in March 2014 with this edit [7] to the birthplace that remained unchanged since December 2012 when the inbox was originally added [8].
But I got to say DJSasso's winge is a load of disingenuous BS, invoking WP:BRD, yet there is no sign of him initiating a discussion on talk as required, then diving straight into WP:Personal attacks, abusing those who disagree with him as "nationalist POV pushers", he doesn't know what my personal politics are and I find it somewhat offensive. DJSasso is by far the worst offender in perpetuating an edit war that was already in full swing before I came along:
It is not an issue of POV but a matter of style. Getting all worked up over so-called "POV-pushers" is probably more a matter of psychological projection. The inbox guide states:"Place of birth: city, administrative region, sovereign state", not "Place of birth: city, administrative region, de facto state". If we are really concerned about "factual integrity of the wiki", then we would agree that a sovereign state is a nonphysical juridical entity and that the consensus in reliable sources is that sovereignty was never transferred to the Soviet Union. "Place of Birth" is geographical notion, and indicating the political entity where a BLP was born adds no value if it isn't relevant in some way. We don't have Michel Foucault's place of birth as " Poitiers, French Third Republic", that would be just silly. -- Nug ( talk) 09:19, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
For Estonia, World War II did not end, de facto, until 31 August 1994, with the final withdrawal of former Soviet troops from Estonian soil.
On March 26, 1949, the US Department of State issued a circular letter stating that the Baltic countries were still independent nations with their own diplomatic representatives and consuls.

From Sumner Wells' declaration of July 23, 1940, that we would not recognize the occupation. We housed the exiled Baltic diplomatic delegations. We accredited their diplomats. We flew their flags in the State Department's Hall of Flags. We never recognized in deed or word or symbol the illegal occupation of their lands.
The Court said: (256 N.Y.S.2d 196) " The Government of the United States has never recognized the forceful occupation of Estonia and Latvia by the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics nor does it recognize the absorption and incorporation of Latvia and Estonia into the Union of Soviet Socialist republics. The legality of the acts, laws and decrees of the puppet regimes set up in those countries by the USSR is not recognized by the United States, diplomatic or consular officers are not maintained in either Estonia or Latvia and full recognition is given to the Legations of Estonia and Latvia established and maintained here by the Governments in exile of those countries
The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in 1939 assigned Estonia to the Soviet sphere of influence, prompting the beginning of the first Soviet occupation in 1940. After the German defeat in 1944, the second Soviet occupation started and Estonia became a Soviet republic.
Five decades of almost unbroken Soviet occupation of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania ended in 1991

The forcible incorporation of the Baltic states into the Soviet Union in 1940, on the basis of secret protocols to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, is considered to be null and void. Even though the Soviet Union occupied these countries for a period of fifty years, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania continued to exist as subjects of international law.

I was considering creating a page for Jeremiah Metcalf, but I see that you were the admin that deleted a previous attempt. Per WP:NMMA a fighter is presumed notable if they fought at least three (3) professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization. WP:MMATIER lists Strikeforce as a top-tier MMA organization. Jeremiah Metcalf has had 3 fights in Strikeforce - one on October 7, 2006; once on November 16, 2007; and once on June 27, 2008 (see http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jeremiah-Metcalf-16262). Therefore, it would seem that he meets WP:NMMA and thus has a presumption of meeting WP:GNG according to WP:SPORTCRIT. Before creating this page, I wanted to find out some more information on why it was deleted and if the 3 fights in Strikeforce in view of WP:NMMA were considered.

Although the NHL lists dynasty teams, the question of dynasties is subjective, and unofficial dynasties are widely talked about and discussed in the NHL. Teams even sell dynasty banners (in the case of the 1970s Bruins, and movies have been made about the Broad Street Bullies Dynasty.) Additionally, no team has won back to back Stanley Cups in the modern era other than the 90-92 Penguins, and they are often referred to as a dynasty. Back to back NHL champion in the modern era (post 67) is unheard of as evidenced by it only occurring once. The 90s Red wings are repeatedly referred to as a dynasty even though they are not "officially" recognized on the NHL page. It is all encompassing for this section to list these unofficial dynasties, while making note that they are unofficial Alligatorwine ( talk) 2:26, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Ova odluka je donešena zbog zbivanja oko Wikidata koje je dovelo do toga da su interwiki botovi postali nepotrebni. Ako želite da zadržite vašu bot zastavicu onda možete podnijeti taj zahtjev ovdje sa dodatnim informacijama o poslovima koje bi bot obavljao i na koji nacin. Imajte na umu da ovo treba da bude konkretan i koristan posao za zajednicu da bi se zastavica zadržala. Ako imate bilo kakvih pitanja kontaktirajte me na mojoj stranici za razgovor. Ukoliko ne reagujete na ovu poruku će se uklanjanje zastavice izvršiti nakon nekoliko sedmica. Međutim, uvijek ste dobrodošli da podnesete novi zahtjev za bot zastavicu.

Your bot has been identified to meet at least one of these criteria. This decision has been made due to the new developments with Wikidata by which all interwiki bots have become unnecessary. If you want to keep your bot flag, then please report that here by indicating what new task your bot will be performing and how this will be done. Note however that this has to be a concrete and useful task for the community before it will be accepted. If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. In case of no response, the removal of the bot flag will be performed within a few weeks from now. However, after that period you are always welcome to file a new request for a bot flag.

It seems that you don't want me to mention everyone who was in a Stanley Cup team picture with a footnote that they did not appear, for some reason. Several other Wikipedians, like Reso lute, think that it is perfectly fine to present these facts if I can cite that they were in the picture. What is wrong with mentioning everyone in a picture if it is a fact? It seems as if that you might be some New Jersey Devils fan who agrees with General Manager Lou Lamoriello, that only qualifying players should be in the team picture, like how Willie Mitchell was not in the picture in 2000; and trying to impose your beliefs on other teams. That is subjective, which is irrelevant. That is up to each team. It is objective that most other teams include non-qualifying players in the team celebration. They are on the roster in the sense that they are eligible to actually dress and play, even though they did not appear; but not, however, officially on the Stanley Cup roster engraved on the cup. What is wrong with including them in articles and distinguishing them from the official championship roster on the cup with footnotes? 108.0.244.168 ( talk) 19:56, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

As stated in my revision, Underwater hockey started as an underwater game called Octopush.

I've since used a more recent photo. And, yes, I know what the general principle is, but the lead images for several tennis players, including Federer and Murray for example, tend to show at least a little bit of background. That's probably a bit more interesting than an extreme close-up of someone's face. Happy editing. -- James26 ( talk) 12:38, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
The official sites are the only places to determine team rosters, but most of the editors use the last transactions that were listed at the same sites which did not indicate that any players were demoted. I was under the impression that RFAs should be listed on the rosters while UFAs are removed even though some editors had honored my to keep the UFAs listed because they could be re-signed and would be easier to add said players to the rosters. I only edit the Islanders & Devils' rosters and I "hide" those players who are "buried" in the system (like Josefson for the Devils). Raul17 ( talk) 14:03, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello could you help me move a page?
the Page Jeremy Blain was recently created, but it seems to be the wrong spelling. According to the Chicago Wolves reference article on the page it was spelled Jeremie Blain, which is the redirect and another redirect Jérémie Blain exists which is not pointing to this page. I did a Google search and it seems to indicate (if i did it correctly) that the name with the diacritics is the common name (9,210) and the current name the least used (5,200). Unfortunately the Utica Comets site has not added the roster yet to compare to. Because the diacritics is already in use I cannot move it on my own. Would you be able to help me move this?
Also I didn't check the coverage of the articles from the search to see if he meets to determine if he meets GNG or not, but it looks like he falls short of N:Hockey playing in only 72 minor league games. I figured I get the name situation figured out before worrying about that.

That being said, you fall into the all-too-typical trap of the partisan: that you equate failure to agree with your position with failure to understand your position. Regardless of your geopolitical grievances, there is a naming convention in place on Wikipedia, and we abide by it in our own articles. As with the Sorokin AfD, if you want to overturn that consensus, you know where to go to accomplish that. I'm afraid, though, again with the Sorokin AfD as a guide, you're going to have a hard time convincing people that your motives are anything beyond partisan nationalism.

Let's have a look at the substance. Latvia's occupation by Soviet Union (1940-1991) was a clear breach of Geneva Conventions and has never been recognised by most countries. Therefore, it would be absolutely misleading to state that the location of birth of Latvian sportsmen and other well known people is Soviet Union. Undoubtedly, reading about "born in Riga, Soviet Union" or "born in Riga, Latvian SSR" is very annoying to nearly all Latvian citizens using Wikipedia. The evidence that some of Latvian sportsmen have actually participated in USSR national teams does not justify the fact of Latvia's occupation by USSR. Please take note that as regards Latvia's neighbour country Estonia, none of Wikipedia articles state that Estonian people were born in Soviet Union. Have a successful studying of the history of three Baltic states and thanks for understanding! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LV1050 ( talk • contribs) 09:42, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Ok, let's have a compromise. People which really have collaborated with authorities during Soviet occupation (e.g. participated in USSR national teams) might have a reason for a birthplace "USSR". However, younger people which were born in the 80-ties obviously have not had any relation with the regime, so their birthplace is Latvia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LV1050 ( talk • contribs) 07:32, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
As a bureaucrat on frwiki, I was checking the activity of the bots, and noticed that yours had been inactive for at least 6 months. Morover, the interwikis are now centralized on Wikidata. It is not reasonable that an unmonitored account keeps a bot flag, as it may be more easily hacked. Do you wish to keep the bot flag? If this is the case, please tell me so (preferably on my talk page on frwiki, otherwise on my talk page on this project). Without any answer from you, the bot flag will be removed in one month.

I'm not in a mood to argue but Your comment for the undo in which you state: "sorry there is strong consensus is to use name at time of birth. and no consensus has ever been achieved that Estonia was not part of the USSR at that time." (That's what I call POV pushing)
It's just silly and shows that You don't have enough knowledge about the history of Baltic states. Please take a minute and read this Occupation of the Baltic states. Especially this part: "The Baltic states, the United States and its courts of law, the European Parliament, the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations Human Rights Council have all stated that these three countries were invaded, occupied and illegally incorporated into the Soviet Union under provisions of the 1939 Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, first by the Soviet Union, then by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944, and again by the Soviet Union from 1944 to 1991. This policy of non-recognition has given rise to the principle of legal continuity, which holds that de jure, or as a matter of law, the Baltic states had remained independent states under illegal occupation throughout the period from 1940 to 1991." Do we need consensus on facts? -- Klõps ( talk) 20:25, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Jared, actually the status quo of Riin Tamm was changed in March 2014 with this edit [7] to the birthplace that remained unchanged since December 2012 when the inbox was originally added [8].
But I got to say DJSasso's winge is a load of disingenuous BS, invoking WP:BRD, yet there is no sign of him initiating a discussion on talk as required, then diving straight into WP:Personal attacks, abusing those who disagree with him as "nationalist POV pushers", he doesn't know what my personal politics are and I find it somewhat offensive. DJSasso is by far the worst offender in perpetuating an edit war that was already in full swing before I came along:
It is not an issue of POV but a matter of style. Getting all worked up over so-called "POV-pushers" is probably more a matter of psychological projection. The inbox guide states:"Place of birth: city, administrative region, sovereign state", not "Place of birth: city, administrative region, de facto state". If we are really concerned about "factual integrity of the wiki", then we would agree that a sovereign state is a nonphysical juridical entity and that the consensus in reliable sources is that sovereignty was never transferred to the Soviet Union. "Place of Birth" is geographical notion, and indicating the political entity where a BLP was born adds no value if it isn't relevant in some way. We don't have Michel Foucault's place of birth as " Poitiers, French Third Republic", that would be just silly. -- Nug ( talk) 09:19, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
For Estonia, World War II did not end, de facto, until 31 August 1994, with the final withdrawal of former Soviet troops from Estonian soil.
On March 26, 1949, the US Department of State issued a circular letter stating that the Baltic countries were still independent nations with their own diplomatic representatives and consuls.

From Sumner Wells' declaration of July 23, 1940, that we would not recognize the occupation. We housed the exiled Baltic diplomatic delegations. We accredited their diplomats. We flew their flags in the State Department's Hall of Flags. We never recognized in deed or word or symbol the illegal occupation of their lands.
The Court said: (256 N.Y.S.2d 196) " The Government of the United States has never recognized the forceful occupation of Estonia and Latvia by the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics nor does it recognize the absorption and incorporation of Latvia and Estonia into the Union of Soviet Socialist republics. The legality of the acts, laws and decrees of the puppet regimes set up in those countries by the USSR is not recognized by the United States, diplomatic or consular officers are not maintained in either Estonia or Latvia and full recognition is given to the Legations of Estonia and Latvia established and maintained here by the Governments in exile of those countries
The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in 1939 assigned Estonia to the Soviet sphere of influence, prompting the beginning of the first Soviet occupation in 1940. After the German defeat in 1944, the second Soviet occupation started and Estonia became a Soviet republic.
Five decades of almost unbroken Soviet occupation of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania ended in 1991

The forcible incorporation of the Baltic states into the Soviet Union in 1940, on the basis of secret protocols to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, is considered to be null and void. Even though the Soviet Union occupied these countries for a period of fifty years, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania continued to exist as subjects of international law.

Howdy Djsasso. An Afd (which we both were a part of) on that article was closed as having no consensus for any change. Yet, an editor went ahead & changed that article to a 're-direct', thus ignoring the Afd's result. I won't delve further into this dispute, but I'm concerned about that editor's action. Just thought I'd let you know. GoodDay ( talk) 18:15, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
