North America

Why you erased my edits in the North America article?, I fixed it, or the point is that you are treating North America as Northern America, this is not a UN article, they are posted many sources where you can check or verify about the North America geography, you are using 1 source vs many sources of information, you can leave Central America and the Caribbean as an independent article, but not grouping Mexico in Central America, is so offensive.

Misplaced Pages is free information source for all the people, the current version of North America is not the most accurate, the[REDACTED] articles must been wrote under a neutral point of view and this article is not, I feel a hidden racism inside it. Jcmenal 14:58, 14 September 2006 (PST)

North America (link)

I wanted to ask if you would like to participate in the North America article discussion since I'm trying to discuss it with other multiple members. And as you participated previously in the discussion. Would you like telling me why is adding a reference to the 100 largest cities in North America beyond the largest 10 cities in the article a problem to you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cocoliras (talkcontribs) 20:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

You made a mistake. I hope you're humble enough to admit it and stop reverting. See summary of last edit. Thanks, Gustav

new asteroid page

Under the circumstances, it's the nicest thing to do and the most political thing to do to let people have their say and move on. If you want to make edits to the articles, use the {{editprotected}} template. Cheers, WilyD 17:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're saying here. -- tariqabjotu 17:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

There's not point in blocking new accounts or IPs that'll just leave of their own accord anyways. All we can do here is let this blow over on its own. In addition, the Times story is somewhat favourable to us, but if we act harshly, we're likely to generate a lot of negative press. Meatpuppets isn't the right word - we're just dealing with clueless newbies - educating them on our practices is frustrating, but there's no reason to be dickish. WilyD 17:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The debate has long preceded The New York Times article, and this seems to have been a major issue since at least the beginning of January. I believe your fears about how the media would react are unfounded or at least unimportant. I say they're unfounded because I am finding it hard to believe the media would complain about us blocking the disruption that's clearly coming from these accounts and I say unfounded because it shouldn't make a difference how some media outlets (and not just the NYT) will react. The inclusion of the Muhammad images are heavily supported, by editors and by Misplaced Pages. Any further qualms about the images are being ironed out -- as they should be -- on the talk page, with a variety of appeasing proposals popping up here and there. I have no problem with people, even those vehemently against the images, commenting about the matter on the talk page. I do have a problem with those who simply show up and remove the image ad nauseum, with little to no interest of actually talking about their points. That's not being dickish, that's defending some of our most basic policies against people who couldn't care less about what they are.
Also, you don't need to tell me to use the {{editprotected}} template; I can just edit the article myself. -- tariqabjotu 18:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Query

Hello. These seem rather malformed and misguided deletions. The original reasoning was "This practically duplicates Template:Countries of North America": the same can be said of any regional template and to me reflects excessive simplicity, e.g., compare South Africa with Southern Africa. I was unable to comment at the time. Do you think it's worth having a review of these template deletions? Thanks. Corticopia (talk) 17:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
