Anti Hindi

Either present day Anti-Hindi agitations‎ going on in Maharashra to be added in the same section of Anti-Hindi agitations or can be started as a special article to deal with all such agitations A Soosai Prakash (talk) 10:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Political positions of Barack Obama, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. A pro-life website is not a reliable source. Scjessey (talk) 23:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

ABC News is a pro-life website? At last the truth is out. No wonder they were working so hard for Obama... Hcobb (talk) 23:50, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Political positions of Barack Obama

Regarding your blunt and meaningless edit summary:"Providing refs rather than":

It is not my "job" to search for and provide citations for other editors edits. If an editor seems not able to provide any sources at all (and I'm not even bother to talk about RS's) there is no edit. That's it. Simple and no further questions to ask or needed. Got it? Best regards, --The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 03:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, ran out of field space on that one because some jerk picked a user ID that is way way too long. Hcobb (talk) 04:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your magnificent and delightful response. Some day you might learn how to make more space in the edit summary box in case you run into that "jerk" again. Best, --The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 17:29, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

The best way is to delink his name, and/or shorten it, in the summary, then you'll have more space to write. You can also add an extra 50 characters in the Gadgets section of your preferences, under "User interface gadgets". Ask me if you need more help on that. - BillCJ (talk) 20:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Yakovlev Yak-130

It might be best if you were to post a note on Talk:Yakovlev Yak-130, and add your references for the RoM's non-use of Russian planes there. Then at least there will be an easily-accessible record of the sources and the reasonings behind the removals. It's strange the things people like to add about certain countries. Turkey is quite popular for similar edits right now. Also, if Mexico had all the aircraft I've seen attributed to them in the last 3 years, they'd have a larger air force than the US, Russia, or PRC! (Possibly combined!) - BillCJ (talk) 20:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The ref is right there in Macedonian Air Force which is the most topical spot to discuss the aircraft they don't want. Hcobb (talk) 20:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but other editors will generally check the talk page first. It's the usual place to deal with matters direclty related to the article. As to why, probably because they can! - BillCJ (talk)

Welcome!

Battle off Samar

Thanks for catching that factual error. I didn't even notice that it said the Taffies were 3rd Fleet ships until I looked at the history... Magus732 (talk) 20:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
