Hello! As an editor of the article on Christian Democracy, I'd like to see you comment on Talk:Christian Democracy#Revolutionary socialism equated with violence. Thank you. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 20:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Netherlands

Op Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals loopt nu een voorstel voor het oprichten van een WikiProject Netherlands. Gezien de artikelen die je tot nu toe hebt geschreven zou dit misschien ook iets voor jou kunnen zijn: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Netherlands.

Tweede Kamermembers-templates

Yes, that was what I intended. According to Wikipedia:Notability (people), the criteria are "Political figures holding or who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." I think that all members of the Tweede Kamer fall under these criteria. What are the concerns you have exactly? Cheers, JACOPLANE • 2006-12-28 18:56

Yes, I assumed that the primary criteria wouldn't be a problem. I would only advocate creating an article once there are reliable sources, but there are always sites like parlement.com and the Dutch media should cover most of them I imagine. I'll do some digging to see if any newspapers have exhaustive coverage. Only found [1] for the moment. To address your concerns:

1. Well whether readers are interested in or searching for this is a rather subjective question that I can't answer. I would imagine that since the Netherlands is part of the E.U. our politicians come into contact with people outside of the Netherlands and those people might like to have some background information regarding who these people are. Also, todays members of parliament are tomorrow's ministers and state-secretaries, so having stubs on them can't hurt when they need to be improved.
2. I definitely don't think we should have a major push to get these articles created quickly. You are right, the current articles are in general not very good, and we should focus on ministers and cabinets. That does not mean that we can't eventually do both however.

Perhaps we should get some input from others and see what the consensus is. How about we move this discussion to Wikipedia talk:Notice board for Dutch wikipedians? JACOPLANE • 2006-12-28 19:30

For the moment I'll remove the red links from the templates, see for example: {{VVD Tweede Kamer members}}. JACOPLANE • 2006-12-28 20:07

Political parties established in yyyy

Hi C mon. I've seen you too are creating categories for political parties' foundation years. A couple of things have occurred to me:

1. It seems to me a lot of this recategorisation could be automated with a bot. Political parties should all ultimately come under the Category:Political parties, and ones that are categorised as "yyyy establishments" can then be recategorised accordingly.
2. Also, I wonder whether my naming convention "Political parties established in yyyy" is the best one. It occurred to me last night that maybe "Political parties founded in yyyy" might be better, as "founded" feels a better word to use in the context of political parties. And now I see you have created Category:Political parties founded in 1968 (not sure whether that was intended or unconscious). A bot could easily be done to rename existing categories.

Presumably, if we did do anything along the above lines, we'd need to raise it on the discussion page for Wikipedia:Categories for discussion first. To be honest, I wish I'd stopped to think about the scale of the thing before I started on this! Anyway...any views?--A bit iffy 12:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know: I've requested a bot to do the legwork - see Wikipedia:Bot requests#Recategorise political parties to child categories.--A bit iffy 13:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

communism template

Well, still, one can be father of more than one child :-) I do not see any other common reference in movements enumerated in the template than Marx's writings (also critical reference of course). I do not insist on this image, but I think one should be conscious of historical context of h&s symbol: it is not very competent to play a unifying role as a head of a template. ziel & 20:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Political Parties labeled as "Far Right", "Extreme Right", “Nationalist” or “Right-wing”

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Political Parties labeled as "Far Right", "Extreme Right", “Nationalist” or “Right-wing”, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Het is werkelijk geweldig zoals je vandaag de artikelen over Nederlandse politici hebt geupdate. Ik heb zelf niet zo veel tijd op het moment om veel aan WP te werken, maar het is goed te zien dat je er zo mee bezig bent. Voor mij is het erg belangrijk dat de complexe Haagse situatie iets duidelijker wordt in Europa en Washington, en ik ben er van overtuigd dat de vertaling van het haagse gedoe die wij doen op Wikipedia veel betekenen voor het aanzien van Nederland in Europa en aan de andere kant van de Atlantische ocean...

List of Prime Ministers of the Netherlands

I commend your work on the page, and you obviously know a lot more about the subject than me. However, none of the information I added was wrong per se, just largely unspecific. I was planning to research the information that I did not know. None of what I wrote was guesswork (apart from my assuming that everyone in the RKSP was Catholic). However, I will take heed of your advise and try and make better contributions in the future. As for the page itself, you listed Julius van Zuylen van Nijevelt's religion as "Dutch Reformed/Free Mason", but this is incorrect in that Freemasonry is not a religion (despite its having many of the characteristics of a religion). In light of this I have made the small edit of changing "Dutch Reformed/Free Mason" to "Dutch Reformed (also a Freemason)". Static Sleepstorm 17:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I should have researched more before editing, and will do so in the future.

I was thinking that, for the PMs whose religion you have listed as "[religion]/none", as that sounds a bit contradictory, it would be better to put "[religion] (non-practising)" or similar. However, I have extremely limited knowledge of the Dutch language, and this may be a misinterpretation of the source, which says "geen godsdienst", which I would take to mean, in this context, "non-practising" or "non-worshipping". However you as a native Dutch speaker would know what it means, of course. Static Sleepstorm 17:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedians by Politics

C Mon, I am very impressed with your findings! I responded to your post in The Village Pump.

With your permission, I would love to publish your findings on my blog. I would credit you with a link to C mon, the village pump, or any other weblink you prefer.

I already published my methodology and initial findings here. But I think it would be interesting for readers to hear your follow up, as it presents a different point of view. The blog has received 3,000 unique visitors this week, so it would be an opportunity for your hard work to be appreciated by a wider audience.

Please let me know if I can republish your findings. All the best, Jonathan Stokes 00:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Fijian political parties

Hi there! Please take a little more care with adding cats to Fijian political parties. I have had to revert several such edits, as not one of the political parties you categorized as "Protestant" is, in fact, a Protestant party.

• The now-defunct Christian Democratic Alliance, although initially chaired by an Assemblies of God pastor, had no formal links to Protestantism. By far its most prominent parliamentary member was Adi Koila Nailatikau, who is a devout Roman Catholic. So much for your assertions of "Protestantism".

• The Fijian Political Party was/is non-sectarian. A large number of Methodist clergy did endorse it in the 1992 and 1994 elections, but refused to do so in 1999. This was one factor in its electoral defeat that year.

• The Party of the Truth is a fringe party. It claims to be inspired by Christianity, but does not claim to follow any particular tradition, Protestant or otherwise.

Categorizing articles should be done more carefully. Thank you. David Cannon 11:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I know you have a source. I don't think anybody in Fiji would agree with it, frankly speaking. You could also check with User:Xorkl000 - a Fijian who's very knowledgeably about the political affairs of his country. David Cannon 13:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Aggressive?

Dear my friend C mon, I didn't turn aggressive, simply I didn't agree with your edits which came after an hard work to find the current compromise. Sorry if I was hasty with it. --Checco 08:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi C mon,

(full reversion)

Any particular reason/s...?  Thanks, David Kernow (talk) 01:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Original Research

The reason that I delete so much of your material is that you write essays. Essays are ineligible to be in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. You brought my attention to the policy quoted below.

Discussion, rather than unilateral action, is the preferred means of changing policies, and the preferred mechanism for demonstrating the problem with policies or the way they are implemented. This means that an individual who opposes the state of a current rule or policy should not attempt to create proof that the rule does not work in Wikipedia itself.

What do you wish to discuss? I have left a number of notes for you, and you don't respond. Do you want me to leave your original reserch unchallenged? Raggz 19:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

While I agree with your reverts on Human rights and the United States, it appears you (and Raggz) have violated the Wikipedia:Three-revert rule: "If an editor violates the three-revert rule, they may be blocked from editing for up to 24 hours." Wait for more input from others or resolve your dispute the proper way instead of engaging in edit wars. Thanks. —Christopher Mann McKay^{user talk} 20:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

In the collective rights section I like your addition of the right of revolution, (how American of you). This raises inter-cultural issues to discuss briefly. The right to bear arms is undeniablly an American civil right for the purpose of conducting armed revolution. The only legal debate is the collective vs individual right, is one armed revolutionary a revolution or a criminal? What about three or three thousand? The accepted answer is that comunities may rebel violently, but not individuals. This all hinges upon the word "militia", a word that I call "community army".

Since among Europeans the right to bear arms is not a civil right, do Europeans have any right to revolution? May Europeans form the necessary armed militias? The Swiss may, but generally hasn't this right been lost in Europe and shouldn't we say this (with supporting references)? Well, the fall of the Berlin wall suggests two things, not completely lost, but so reduced that a revolution need be accepted by the government? Is there (1) any right of revolution in Europe and (2) is it ever an individual right? Raggz 16:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:TofikDibi.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TofikDibi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse@ 18:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Tweede Kamer1.jpg

Hi. When you uploaded Image:Tweede Kamer1.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with {{GFDL-presumed}} and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}}. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Wikipedia:Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 09:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse@ 17:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for providing the fair use rationales. I think it is a little strange to claim all these images are used to "identify this political party". I think the purpose of these images in the article is related to the election campaigns. – Ilse@ 12:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Eco-socialism

Hi C Mon,

I thought I'd message you as someone who took an interest when I first joined Wikipedia!

I'm trying to get Eco-socialism assessed and put on the Socialism Template. But I'm not sure how to do either. Well, I know how to put it on the template, but wanted to discuss it first at the template discussion page - but no one is replying! I've also posted in other places about getting the politics/sociology portals to assess it, but nothing has happened.

So how can I get it assessed and get support for it to be on the template? Can you help,partiularly in the assessment? Aled Dilwyn Fisher 08:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Religion in the Netherlands

I have added on the discussion page of Religion in the Netherlands article my ongoing objection to the text on catholic plurality. My main objection is that you do not provide recent data to back up your comments. Where recent data is available (CBS, Radboud university of Nijmegen, WRR report "Geloven in het publieke domein", and indirectly KASKI as this official Dutch Roman Catholic statistics organization is a major contributor the the WRR report. ), this data does contradict the text in the article on regional catholic plurality (granted with exception of Zeeuws Vlaanderen). Looking forward to your response Ruud64 20:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC) So my request is that you either remove the text as not supported by facts or provide recent data to support your text.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Buitenweg2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Buitenweg2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

WikiProject Politics of the Netherlands?

Van iedereen op Wikipedia heb jij waarschijnlijk het meeste geschreven over de Nederlandse politiek. Hoe sta jij tegenover het opzetten een WikiProject Politics of the Netherlands of een Taskforce Dutch politics binnen WikiProject Netherlands, of iets van dien aard? Aecis^Brievenbus 15:55, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Ik weet niet of je liever in het Nederlands of in het Engels praat; als je wil dat ik liever in het Engels praat, zeg het gerust. Het opzetten van een dergelijk WikiProject zou natuurlijk doorgesproken moeten worden met WikiProject Netherlands, WikiProject Politics en WikiProject Council/Proposals, maar ik zie geen grote bezwaren, zeker niet omdat er ook al een WikiProject Australian politics en een WikiProject Taiwanese politics bestaan. De 9 punten/werkvelden die je noemde lijken me prima. Ik zou er alleen nog twee punten aan willen toevoegen: verkiezingen en politieke geschiedenis (van verzuiling tot de Nacht van Schmelzer tot de Pacificatie van 1917, om maar twee voorbeelden te noemen). Aecis^Brievenbus 17:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I will, and I have proposed the creation of the WikiProject: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Dutch Politics. Aecis^Brievenbus 20:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

May I kindly suggest that before reverting and claiming that there has been no discussion about it, it might a good idea to actually read the talk page?

Just to clarify my position here: I really think this is a matter that would benefit from discussion between those who are interested in the article and I hope you will take part in it. The old version of the article was rather bad, and I think we all can agree on that, but I certainly don't intend to push my own version as the only alternative. I've removed the old introduction for reasons outlined in the talkpage (original research, unverified claims, contradictory, not encyclopedic) but I hope that there will ultimataly be a new introduction that everybody can agree on.

Template in German liberal and social democratic partys

You had reverted two times my template to the chronological order of German liberal and socialdemocratic partys. I find it very useful and I had to study a lot of books in order to construct these "timeline" (please see the articles named in the templates and not reverted, the "timeline" is now interrupted). Instead of this template you created another template with all - liberal, christian, socialist, socialdemocratic, national etc. parties before 1945 in one template which is in my view not useful and very chaotic (by the way is there an order in it? chronologically? ideologically?). Because you had changed my template at first I plead you to say why it is so bad and I plead you to let it in the articles. I let as compromise your chaotic template. Okay?

Liberal thinkers

All these show/hides

To be honest with you, I think all these shows/hides you've been adding to templates are much more annoying than useful. Yes, they look snazzy, and yes they decrease the amount of page space the templates take up, but they significantly increase (more than double) the file sizes, which is a bigger problem for people on slow computers than page size, and I think from a practical point of view the shows/hides are more of a hindrance than a help.

Leterme?

I know that you are not from Belgium, but as you live in the nearby Netherlands I know that you are always informed about your neighbouring country. I have heard that Leterme will finally form his government and that he will be installed tomorrow. Do you know anything about the parties forming the the governing coalition (are they the same parties which were part of the last Verhofstadt's cabinet?)? If yes, will Leterme's government be something like a government of national unity? What are the main (constitutional) reforms on which the parties found an agreement? You can answer to these questions here or in my talk page: where you do prefer! --Checco (talk) 08:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I changed some Irish Political History Series Navigation Templates to the style used by most Politics of [country]. Not everyone likes it. It you'd like to comment, there is a discussion here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ireland#Irish_Political_History_Series_Navigation_Templates. Tx, Snappy56 (talk) 13:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
