R.E.M. compilations
We've already explained the meaning of official versus unofficial, provided a concrete source, and it's still not good enough for you. I agreed with your view that BJ Cole shouldn't be included in the 'Other musicians' section of the template when I did it, but you're making yourself look silly with this one. None of the "unoffical" compilations are mentioned in the body of the main article, so they shouldn't even be in the band template. Please accept the changes. It will help you sleep at night. - Dudesleeper 17:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Example of unofficial: "Peter Holsapple, unofficialy the fifth member of R.E.M.," as Stipe called him. He wasn't recognised by the band as a full-fledged member. - Dudesleeper 17:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
SLN?
Can you please clarify what SLN stands exactly for ! I have just added something on Dutch Sign Language, but I am not sur eif this is correct. JKW 20:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- What I do not understand why SLN is cross-linking to Dutch Sign Language, since it is nowhere mentioned! I have just added SLN, but is this correct? And what is the connection to NGL? And if SLN is standing for sign language why is the redirect of SLN then not linking to that article?
- I ask you, because you have created the SLN redirect.

- Are you saying you do not rember what SLN is standing for? Then I would say delete that redirect to Dutch Sign Language. JKW 22:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Chinese people
I saw you categorised Chinese painters by the second name, that second name is not their family name, it's their given name, that's why they were not categorised like that. Gaudio 14:43, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Mmmmm, OK, do you want to know more situations like thi?, mmm, let me see, let me see, i've been correcting these corrections for a very long time in several wikipedias, Chinese people, hmmm, oh yes, Icelandic people! Their second name is a patronimic name, so they don't classify themselves withtheir second name as you can see in the Icelandic wikipedia in this link for instance [1]. But well, they are more situations, the only thing that you have to do is watching several articles in the same category.
- I saw you're interasted in Western Sahara, i made an article of a very famous activist in Spain: Cristina del Valle. Well, be a good boy, take care. Ciao Gaudio 16:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
===Date formats related to topics===
Looking at this diff, I would be obliged if you could take a look at this Manual of Style guideline:
- If the topic itself concerns a specific country, editors may choose to use the date format used in that country. This is useful even if the dates are linked, because new users and users without a Wikipedia account do not have any date preferences set, and so they see whatever format was typed. For topics concerning Ireland, all member states of the Commonwealth of Nations except Canada, and most international organizations such as the United Nations, the formatting is usually [[17 February]] [[1958]] (no comma and no "th"). In the United States and the Philippines, it is most commonly [[February 17]], [[1958]]. Elsewhere, either format is acceptable. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English for more guidance.
Please do not change date formats contrary to consensus. I would be obliged if you could look over your recent work and undo any similar format changes. --Jumbo 21:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
