Hi Warofdreams, I noticed in your recent adminship promotions that you changed the rights of the users you promoted from "rollbacker" to "rollbacker, sysop". If it's all right with you, when you promote someone to adminship, would you mind making sure that rights made redundant by sysop (i.e. rollback, account-creator, and ip-block-exempt) are de-checked when you're in Special:Userrights please? Having the promoting bureaucrat remove the rights while promoting an editor to adminship saves other admins from removing the said rights themselves, and also prevents the userrights log from being clogged up with unnecessary rights changes. While I respect that it's your decision whether to remove the redundant rights when promoting, it would be appreciated if you adopted this practice. Thank you. Acalamari 22:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
There's been some confusion about your stance on the Burma/Myanmar question at Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2008-06-08_Burma/Consensus. Some users are concerned that since the page's current location was part of a dubious move and was simply kept at m:The Wrong Version during a wheel war and this page has played name-pong many times.
Can you clarify the decision a little bit? We do essentially need a stance for one or the other since there is no "status quo" location. If you aren't interested, we'll go back to the drawing board. (A formal mediation has been proposed, but it's been scuttled.) SDY ( talk) 05:12, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

UPA – military formation of Nationalists organization which adopt similar to Nazi ideology and methods – see IMT [10] [11] [12] proved by affidavit of Major General ERWIN VON LAHAUSEN, personal representative of Admiral Canaris. So such organization (along with military formation of it) was assumed as Nazi collaborators and war criminals Wartime_Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia at Soviet Union, Poland, Chechoslovakia and amongst World Jewish community – almost nothing were changed for 65+ years passed. But since they used together with rest Nazi criminals as usefull tool - “anti-communists front of nations” they extensively posed after 1946 as “liberation” and “anti-Nazi” resistance movement in North-American publication of Ukrainian Diaspora which hided such criminals (while authors mostly were an OUN/UPA members or their kin – appeared in above wording as “Western scholars”).
So here the dispute between majority vision – Russia, most of Ukraine, Poland, Chechoslovakia and World Jewish community vs Ukrainian Diaspora which hided for a long time such criminals and one proponent of Nazi collaborators and war criminals from Kremlinology institution.
UPA fought against the USSR and Poland
- A correct wording - against Poles, Jews and Russians - becouse they was Poles, Jews and Russians - General Intruction of the OUN(B).

Hello, could you have a look at the following for me? [17] The problem is that after editing it, there is some text in the edit which doesn't appear in the visible version of the page. Between the sections entitled 'eligibility' and 'Results by municipality' a whole chunk of text doesn't appear. It is there still if I edit the page. It occurs after the visible line "public bodies such as the Spanish state broadcaster RTVE" in the elegibility section. The missing bit starts with "Lastly, following changes to the electoral law which took effect for the 2007 municipal elections," and ends with "ignoring the two minimum seats that they were awarded. refhttp://electionresources.org/es/index_en.html General features of Spanish electoral system/ref" I suspect it may be something to do with ref formatting but they look okay to me and this is the first time I've encountered something like that, so I'm baffled and would appreciate your help.

Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
