Plas Newydd
Plas Newydd is a house which still exists and therefore deserves its own entry, The Ladies of Llangollen were the occupants of the house for a period of about fifty years and therefore require a separate entry. No merge is required!
Plas Newydd
If you take the trouble to read the history you will see that it is marked as a first draft!
Do you know anything about the area? Have you been there? I doubt it!
I shall continue adding to the article!

I've just read through your discussions for the last 12 months and see that you seem to take delight in abusing other contributers. I feel sorry for your need to do this. Is it insecurity?

The dystopian fiction category merge
I see you're the one who took on recategorizing the Category:Dystopian fiction articles after the merge I nominated. I should have seen this coming, I guess, but the plan all along was to simply delete most of those categorizations for many of the novel articles since they were already subcategorized in Category:Dystopian novels. Myself, and possibly someone else, will be going over those again eventually, which really just made twice the work for everyone in the end. Probably I should have mentioned this somewhere... but then I'm not even sure how you became informed of these.
(Incidentally, I was assured that a bot would be doing this job. Is there a problem on that front by any chance?)

Don't worry I will restore the information making it clearer.

List of countries by population
I noticed that you added Vatican City, Palestinian territories and Western Sahara explicitly in the introduction. Those countries are in the UN list even though they are not UN members. I think that leaving it as countries/territories recognized by the UN is sufficient. Only Taiwan was not on the UN list. Polaron 22:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you uploaded the above image, which appears to be derived ultimately from used by Led Zeppelin on the band's fourth album and in subsequent tours. Someone using an anonymous IP however replaced a fair use tag with the argument that the image was in the public domain. While the runes are obviously public domain, that particular image almost certainly isn't. I've tagged it for now as unlicensed but only because it isn't up to me to make a fair use justification for this image. I'd appreciate it if you could spare some time to examine

hi Koavf, answering your call, yes I am a moluccan. However I've been staying out of Moluccas for few years due to the riot happened there few years ago. My loved ones are still there, that's why I keep myself updated with current situation. If you need more info or help regarding Moluccas, please feel free to buzz me.

Recent edits
I don't know what Wikima's agenda is, but I don't see that much of a problem in farming out some of that page to the international relations of the SADR bit. What I do definately see a problem with is the labeling of his/her edits as vandalism when they are clearly not. Please do not enagage in any personal attacks --Robdurbar 18:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
To be honest, my reason behind letting this sort of thing go is that I feel quite strongly that the evidence suggests that the Free Zone (region) page should be kept pretty much as it is. If we let some other of Wikima's changes go through, such as the change to the foreign relations of the SADR, then we will be showing that we are not being baised towards his edits, which will make our position much stronger over the issue of the Free Zone.
As for vandalism... I think Wikima has been editing because he believes that he is improving Wikipedia and he has spent a lot of time on the talk page, even if he has not followed 'consensus'. --Robdurbar 06:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

WesternSahara-stub
Hi again - you wrote: I personally would not be in favor of the icon, simply because it is inconsistent with the Template:Taiwan-stub. Why the different approach with the Sahara?
- The reason for the difference is straightforward - whereas with many countries a flag is used for a stub icon, there are cases where this is avoided for reasons of potentially perceived political bias. Taiwan's flag is far less controversial than its borders; the opposite is true with Western Sahara. Grutness...wha? 00:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, that makes sense. I've initiated a vote at Template talk:WesternSahara-stub - hopefully that will give some indication of what to do. Grutness...wha? 00:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

According to
Independence Intifada
Reading your contributions I have the impression that your have made yours all the entries about WS and don't accept any divergent opinion, hey this is WP you got to accept other opinions. This entry is clearly Polisarian propaganda, you like or not, and the discussion page plainly show it.--Kompere 10:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- You can't deny that every small event, whether it's in the Sahara or the Polisario camps is exploited by Morocco or Polisario as if it was a major event. Every side is trying to get the international press on its side, the Intifada word user by Polisario for what were very small events should be put in this light and conversely Moroccan authorities have made a lot of noise about troubles that have happened lately in Polisario camps. The examples abound in the francophone press at least. I have added a section in the talk page of Independence Intifada, if you want we can continue our discussion there, oh ! and please don't remove my sentence plain and simple if you continue to do this I will remove what you write too !! this is WP and I am allowed to put my opinion everywhere I want and I sure will exercise my right, notice that I didn't remove what you said, so please respect my opinion too, yours --Kompere16:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Women's Rights Article
Hi, Koavf - I noticed that you put a cleanup request on the women's rights article due to POV and "weasel words." Could you say more on the talk page of the article? I'm one of the people who's done a bunch of editing on it, because when I first encountered it, it didn't make a lot of sense, and I thought someone should take a go at it. But I was a bit stumped on what to do with it, so if you have specific suggestions or complaints, it would be good to read them. I'm not sure what direction your concerns about POV go - not that there aren't POV issues, but other editors have complained about POV going many different directions in different versions of the article. Thanks in advance for your input! - Sasha Kopf 06:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm curious as to why you moved
Western Sahara Links
I cleaned up the page because it was in violation of Wikipedia Spam. Now I know you think the only kind of spam is going to be websites for viagra, but that is not the case. "Spam" for Wikipedia includes sites that promote ideaology/POV, non-neutral, biased, or they just don't fit in. There are 150 links on this site that are filled with spam and mostly its because the links are so damn long that people think Wiki is a web directory...its not. The External Links need to be short, concise and only offer sites that add to the article, not rehash it nor spew a political view. If the page was "Morocco", then the Moroccan govt site would be appropriate...but its Western Sahara. --Ownlyanangel 00:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Image:Melanesia.png
Hi Koavf -- first off, thanks for the nice map of Melanesia. Some people editing Melanesia are concerned that it incorrectly marks Sulawesi as Melanesian. A comment to this effect has also been on the talk page to the image for a couple of months, but nobody has stepped up. If it's still not fixed when you get back, could you fix it? We'd appreciate it. Cheers, Ngio 07:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

If the is not enhanced within a very short time, I have gotten enough information to be able to write it myself.

Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy
Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —A.S.

- Re: OCA autocephaly—I don't really have "strong" feelings on the issue. I think that it could have been handled a lot better and is possibly doomed to dissolution based on that. In any event, 2/3 of Orthodox in the US are already under one jurisdiction, the EP.
- Re: Chalcedon and reunion—You can find some information about the possibility at this site. I don't know whether it could be accomplished in our lifetime, though I do hope so. I think perhaps it might significantly depend on whether we can figure out how to organize ourselves first so that we might be able to speak with a more united voice. As to what might become of the overlapping patriarchates, well, in the past where there was a healed schism, the parishes under different bishops would be left with their current bishop until one died or retired. They'd then be reallotted accordingly. (Incidentally, I think that would be the best model for Chalcedonian jurisdictional union in the US.)
- Re: Union with Rome—I hope it can happen, but I think Rome has a very long way to go first. I think reunion with the Non-Chalcedonians is much more likely.

Patriarchy/Patriarchate
I just wanted to let you know about the issue with the Church in UA that you may be not aware of. I have no objection to your Patriarchy/Patriarchate substitution . There is nothing else in that but the issue of which word is a better Enlgish. However, change of the UOC (MP) to UOC-MP is a more controversial issue that you might not have been aware of,
The organization's official name is just "UOC". However, it is canonically under MP, true enough, and adding (MP) in parentheses to dab it from UOC-KP is useful. But, it is important that the Church itself rejects the phrasing "UOC-MP" to be used as its name, both formally or informally. It calls itself "UOC" admitting, at the same time, its canonical link to MP. On the other hand, the Church opponents do use "UOC-MP" as the church name in derrogatory way to emphasize their POV that this church is not Ukrainian but the Muscovite. Taking no position in the debate ourselves, but taking the position of the church's opponents in choosing the name is not NPOV.
On a separate, though related issue, UOC-KP is indeed the full name of the other large OC in UA.
Sorry, if this all sounds confusing. It is so only because the religious life in UA is confusing too.
Finally, please do not move pages without raising the issue at the talk page, at least informally, and giving the interested parties time to comment. The reason is that page moves are more difficult to undo and they affect more of the WP a great deal, while the edits themselves are much easier to discuss, compromise and (hopefully not) revert.

I support Chinese nationalism, but nowhere near the level of Mr. Happy Happy Happy.

His common hideout is in San Francisco Chinatown. He also hangs out near the UC Berkeley campus where he proclaims an anti-Bush pro-Christian message, ie, Bush is 666. --Jiang 01:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
