I don't think this discussion is getting anywhere. Would you agree to making a request for comment? Thanks. – Hysteria18 ( Talk • Contributions) 19:11, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Rrius. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Celestra ( talk) 22:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Something's not right and I can't put my finger on it.
So the 2009 elections is a sub-sub-category of the 2010 elections. How do we fix it?— Markles 10:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Rrius. I notice you have removed a source supporting the use of 'far right' in description of the League of Polish Families, along with the term itself. This was added in response to an earlier removal of the term with a declaration of its inaccuracy. My reverting in turn now would of course be pointless, and I am willing to consider that I have misunderstood the criteria to be met by a reference. The BBC article which was used states its purpose as familiarising the reader with media treatment of far right parties elsewhere in Europe than the UK; the League is the party given in the case of Poland. I imagined that this provides confirmation. Beyond this, only five countries are mentioned in the article, suggesting that the five represent good examples of such parties. The Wikipedia entry for 'Far right' itself lists the League as a party of this type, in light of which there seems no good reason to avoid the description. Would you be averse to further discussion and a possible return to the term? Another disinterested reader ( talk) 17:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate your go-ahead comment. If you're wondering why I ask on the "talk page" of an article, why I put stuff in like "how come there isn't any criticism", it's to get other editors who follow an article, acquainted with me, perhaps thinking about the problem; so when the changes come, they're not caught off guard, and more accepting. I've found that posting major changes to the talk page (first) works too, and doesn't create a huge surprise, and gives other editors a chance to weigh in and own the changes, check the references, etc. And hopefully edit-wars don't result. I've kind of learned this the hard way. I took an article about a business, totally revamped it, with good references, solid stuff, NPOV, etc. But editors who had been watching the article were irked, and what ensued was a month-plus of back and forth edit-warring below the radar, and fussing over details. So it was a lot of fuss afterwards. Anyway, that's my approach, in case you were wondering. By the way, I find the caliber of Wikipedians who work on the government articles to be quite high; sharp folks like yourself, DCGeist, DCMacnut, Magidin (who has a PhD; I'm only a handyman). Too bad we don't get paid for our contributions.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 02:06, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Regarding Brown? Off2riorob ( talk) 21:45, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes, agreed, that is a good edit...This issue is regarding your addition of a citation tag, do you still dispute the comment and see it as an issue, if you don't then lets remove the tag, if you still do, please tell me exactly what your issue is and I will work to remove it. Off2riorob ( talk) 23:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
“ | The son of a Church of Scotland minister, Brown has rarely alluded to his own religious faith in public, referring not to God and religion but to his "moral compass" and to his parents being his "inspiration". | ” |
I have removed God, the comment was from multiple sources and later I will look for them and replace it. Thanks. Off2riorob ( talk) 00:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
""For me, my parents were – and their inspiration still is – my moral compass.
"The compass which has guided me through each stage of my life.
"They taught me the importance of integrity and decency, treating people fairly –and duty to others. And now the sheer joy of being a father myself – seeing young children develop grow and flourish – like for all parents, has changed my life."
I have added that citation, please have a look and remove the citation tag or let me know your remaining issues and I will work to solve them. Off2riorob ( talk) 00:21, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I undid your change to Marcia Fudge because the two refs in the article stated she was sworn in on November 19, the day after her special election. I note that you made several similar changes; the only one I actually checked out, for Jackie Speier, also appears to be contradicted by her House bio. Rather than dig through everything myself, I thought I'd check with you and see what you are basing this group of changes on? Frank | talk 21:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
Until he assumed office November 5, Garamendi was not a United States Representative, he was a Representative-elect. Much like Joe Biden when he remained a Senator even though he was already Vice President-elect, he was not constitutionally required to relinquish his office as Senator until he actually became Vice President. In the letter that Garamendi wrote to Gov. Schwarzeneggar, he said he was resigning effective Nov. 5.
U.S. law does not say that Representatives assume office immediately upon election. I'm not sure where on earth you got that. Nevermore | Talk 03:29, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Wowsers, I sure fell behind the times. I didn't know (until now) that Garamendi had become a member of the US House of Reps. Will the Lt.Gov position remain vacant 'til January 2011? GoodDay ( talk) 22:36, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'm interested in your thinking about the proposed criticism suggestion of POTUS:
Talk:President of the United States/sandbox
Any thoughts or suggestions?-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 15:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
I scoured the United States code page on elections of representatives, here, presumably current as of Jan. 5. Section 8 pertains to vacancies. There is nothing in there about winners of special elections assuming office automatically. I can only assume that the House, for whatever reason, calculates seniority based on the date of the election. But until it can be proved otherwise, we should probably assume that "assumption of office" means when the Representative in question was sworn in. Nevermore | Talk 08:02, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
The deletion page for List of oldest surviving members of the House of Representatives would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy Rrius. In the Kim Campbell article (before I deleted), she was listed as PC leader 'until' Novemer 4, 1993 (the day she resigned as PM, to be succeeded by Chretien), but infact she continued as PC leader until resigning (that post) on Decmeber 14, 1993. GoodDay ( talk) 20:48, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

The index of Janet L. Nelson, Politics and ritual in early medieval Europe (London: Hambledon Press, 1986) reads "Middle Kingdom, see Lotharingia". Otis C. Mirchell, Two German crowns: monarchy and empire in medieval Germany (Bristol: Wyndham Hall, 1985) refers to the "territory of Lotharingia (Lorraine), the original middle inheritance north of the Alps". In the New Cambridge Medieval History, vol. 3, we read that contemporaries "did not agree on which ruler this name [Lotharingia] referred to. Some, when speaking of the 'kingdom of Lothar', intended to refer to the Emperor Lothar I and hence to Francia media, while some were alluding to his son Lothar II." It goes on to add that while historians unanimously use it in the latter sense, the term "Lotharingian axis" is sometimes a synonym for "Middle Francia". On p. 313 in the same volume it refers to "that Francia media which had now [898] become Lotharingia." I believe all of this information is found in the Lotharingia article. — Srnec ( talk) 04:43, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Have a holly jolly Christmas & a happy 2010. GoodDay ( talk) 14:20, 24 December 2009 (UTC) That seems more like "have a truly terrifying Christmas." Those old Christmas specials really did like to be scary, didn't they. - Rrius ( talk) 22:35, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
