I have nominated [[Islamic Emirate of Waziristan]], an article that you created, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]]. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamic Emirate of Waziristan  (2nd nomination)]]. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns.

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[:Islamic Emirate of Waziristan]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]]. |

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamic Emirate of Waziristan  (3rd nomination)]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. |

::You can verify this by checking the CNN Katrina timeline, or any other news timeline. Mayor Nagin ordered the mandatory evacuation at 10:00AM Auguest 28th. President Bush declared a state of emergency for the State of Louisiana on August 27th, but that is not an evacuation order.

You are misinformed. The information you removed from the article was the following: |

:''President George W. Bush had called and personally appealed for the mandatory evacuation.'' |

This fact was noted by Gov. Blanco at the press conference on 8/28, as reported by the AP. [[User:Anonip|Anonip]] 23:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC) |

::Because I had heard a radio report that the unprecedented mandatory evacuation was credited to Nagin and the unprecedented early state of emergency call was credited to Bush. When I ran across this sentence it seemed at odds with what I knew. Before making the edit I cross-checked CNN, the BBC, and the two footnotes immediately following the sentence (cf.[http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/28/national/29katrinacnd.html] [http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/WWL082705davis.b74cb7bf.html]) -- none of which mentioned anything about Bush appealing for a mandatory evacuation.

I included information from that AP report in both of the first two paragraphs, but only included the reference as a footnote after the second paragraph. Perhaps I should have included it twice. In your defense, I recognize that the mainstream media hasn't been very interested in reporting that Bush personally appealed for the mandatory evacuation, perhaps because it contradicts their "Bush is to blame" theme. So it's not surprising that the fact seemed at odds with what you were led to believe. [[User:Anonip|Anonip]] 03:52, 7 September 2005 (UTC) |

Hello, good work on [[Paro]], and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any [[WP:CITE|references or sources]] in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to [[WP:CITE|cite the sources]] they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in [[Paro]]? You can simply add links, preferably as the [[Wikipedia:Inline citation|inline citations]], or see [[WP:CITET|citation templates]] for different citation methods. Thanks!

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Bhutan Times|the article's talk page]]. |
|||
:If you take a closer look at the page you will see that all the [[gewog]] links at the bottom are not intra-wiki links but are in fact direct links to the [[Royal Government of Bhutan]] website covering each village. We aren't going to anything more referency than that if the topic is Bhutan. (BTW, if you want a glimpse of what is happening in Bhutan at the village level these days, I strongly recommend you read a few of these references, it's fascinating). As for the list of tourist destinations, they can be found in any tour book for Bhutan (Lonely Planet, Footprint Bhutan, etc.), or with a google search on the destination — I'm quite sure the same factoids as I have listed will show up in the first page of google results on any of these. |
|||
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Ahmetlii|Ahmetlii]] ([[User talk:Ahmetlii|talk]]) 16:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC) |

The ????? you saw at [[Qinghai Lake]] ''was'' the Unicode version -- it's just that most fonts don't support it. Try downloading a font called Code 2000 [http://home.att.net/~jameskass/code2000_page.htm here] -- it supports quite a few scripts that even Arial Unicode doesn't and it's a pleasing presentation. I have restored this to the article: {{Unicode|ᠬᠥᠬᠡ ᠨᠠᠭᠤᠷ}}. (Note that there is not yet any Unicode font that supports letter combinations for Mongolian/Manchu. The one above is just a string of disconnected letters in their primary form. Others have taken to inserting small .svgs of the word to overcome this and these have the advantage of being vertical (e.g., [[Manchu]]). [[User:AjaxSmack|AjaxSmack]] 05:04, 2 June 2006 (UTC) |

:Thanks for the helpful link, I was not aware of [[Code 2000]]. I guess my original wish was for the Unicode to be written in escaped HTML format (e.g. "&#6190;" for ᠮ) so those users without that fonts installed can still see the codepoints in any text editor. --[[User:Technopilgrim|technopilgrim]] 19:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC) |

:[[User:My Tibet]], the point that [[User:Ran|ran]] makes is exactly right. The [[Free Tibet]] folks, the source of one of the references in question, are hardly a bunch of pro-Han apologists. When the Free Tibet folks say that Tibetans destroyed temples, you can pretty much take it to the bank that Tibetans destroyed temples. So yes they are a biased source, ''but they are biased the other way than you imply''. The place to debate this, though, is on the [[Talk:Tibet]] where the whole Tibet article writing community can participate. If you believe "your sources" (which you haven't listed) support the assertion that young Tibetans did ''not'' participate in the destruction in any significant number, please share these sources on the [[Talk:Tibet]] page where everyone can take a look at them. --[[User:Technopilgrim|technopilgrim]] 19:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC) |

Now that the [[Waziristan accord]] has been signed, is the [[Islamic Emirate of Waziristan]] still an [[List of unrecognized countries|unrecognized country]], a [[proposed country]] and an [[List of active autonomist and secessionist movements|active secessionist movement]]? I wouldn't know, but you seem to. <tt>;)</tt> —[[User:Nightstallion|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">Nightst</span>]]<font color="green">[[User:Nightstallion/esperanza|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">a</span>]]</font>[[User:Nightstallion|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">llion</span>]] [[User talk:Nightstallion|''(?)'']] 16:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC) |

:From what I can tell, the best classification is [[List of active autonomist and secessionist movements|active secessionist movement]]. What these guys want is for Islamabad to stay out of their business -- recognition as a separate country does not seem to be high on their wish list, even though they fly these provocative flags, etc. Essentially they are isolationists and if the rest of the world left them alone, they wouldn't be fighting for statehood. [[User:Technopilgrim|technopilgrim]] 17:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC) |

The question was rather whether it should stay on those three pages; if not, could you remove it, please? You seem to be an expert. —[[User:Nightstallion|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">Nightst</span>]]<font color="green">[[User:Nightstallion/esperanza|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">a</span>]]</font>[[User:Nightstallion|<span style="font-variant:small-caps">llion</span>]] [[User talk:Nightstallion|''(?)'']] 13:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC) |

:Sorry, I thought you were asking which would be the ''best'' classification. Looking at the three classification articles, obviously I take the IEoW to be a secessionist organization as mentioned above. With regards to "unrecognized" versus "proposed", a careful reading of the definitions on each page suggests to me that ''unrecognized countries'' will be a proper subset of ''proposed countries''. An unrecognized country is defined as "a geo-political entity lacking international recognition but acting as a de facto sovereign state". I would claim that the business of winning sovereignty is virtually always accompanied by claims of independence or statehood. And certainly this is true in the specific case of the IEoW where they self-proclaimed statehood earlier this year as referenced in the article. |
|||
:So IEoW would fit all three categories, as would any successful secessionist movement that was able win and hold territory in defiance of the mother country. [[User:Technopilgrim|technopilgrim]] 16:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC) |

:Thanks for the heads up. Wow, I can't believe we pissed off the Pakistan Foreign Office with this article. And earned a threat of a ban of Wikipedia in Pakistan. All based on one little article, which as far as I know is factual. George Bush wouldn't let them shut down Wikipedia, would he? George -- are you listening? George? |

:(For those of you playing along at home, earlier today Ali Wagner of the [[Daily Times]] of Pakistan published pretty much the entirety of this Wikipedia article in the newspaper (maybe only the online edition), then asked the Government of Pakistan to comment on it. The Government was not happy. Islamic Emirate of Waziristan bad. Wikipedia bad. Technopilgrim bad.

Thanks for your sensible edits on [[Mamata Banerjee]]. It reads much better; also it is nice to know it was done by someone neutral. I was a little apprehensive since my contributions are related to Bengal, it would be easier for someone to put a motive assignment on my edits resulting in unnecessary confrontation. ;-) Take care.--[[User:Antorjal|Antorjal]] 19:19, 17 October 2006 (UTC) |
