Passport list

Hi Philip, thanks for the message. I'm sorry but I cannot do that article now, maybe later. I don't have the sources to do it, on or offline. Btw, I love Costa Rica. Can I visit you there? ;-) Gregorik (talk) 20:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hungarian passport

Hi,

The Hungarian passport article shows a map that is out of date. Since the end of October, Australia is also visafree with an eVisitor application. The map does not reflect this.

Billion

Please explain what you mean by the word trillion being "misused". --Golbez (talk) 17:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

You are quite wrong. 13 trillion (13,000,000,000,000, also known as 13,000 billion) divided by 300 million Americans (300,000,000) gives us around $40,000 earned per capita. If you use 13 billion, then you only get 40 bucks earned per capita, and I'm quite sure I made more than 40 dollars last year. --Golbez (talk) 21:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I apologize. As you pointed out in your note to me, your second revision of the figures in question was technically accurate. Aside from that, the "erroneous information" tag unfortunately produces language referring to "vandalism"--I should have taken the time to edit that out, as of course, you are far from a vandal. However, (a) the reference to U.S. GDP in trillions is standard in American government sources and the American media and (b) you are incorrect when you say your version "follows the same scheme of all the other countries"--please see, for instance, Germany and Russia, whose GDP figures are also consistently expressed in the trillions. All the best, Dan.—DCGeist (talk) 04:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Philip200291! Can you update your map http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Image:VisaWaiverProgram.png and add Bulgaria to the list of candidates? I just updated the article and added the source: http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/pr_1213717127852.shtm.

Thanks in advance!

Hungarian Passport

Light blue: Asian territories of European states. Dark blue: Culturally and politically European. (Armenia and Cyprus are completely in Asia)

Turkey is candidate and Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan are the other European countries.

File:WWI end.jpg

European military alliances during WWI: Central Powers purplish-red, Entente powers grey and neutral countries yellow

Biogeographic regions of Europe

Hi! I put Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan to Europe because they are Council of Europe members (only Kazakhstan is a special guest). But you say most of their territory is in Asia. Cyprus and Armenia are 100% in Asia but you didn't put Armenia to Asia [1]. And Cyprus is in Europe in the article because of the EU. Turkey is a candidate to the EU, its largest city, cultural and financial capital Istanbul is in Europe. Also it is the largest city of Europe. We have to put them into Europe. Or we have to create new section called Eurasia in the article and Cyprus also must be there. I'm waiting your response. Lokum ^hi! 08:16, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I want to ask a question. Is this article geographical or political? If it is geographical, all these transcontinental countries must be in Eurasia, Cyprus and Armenia in Asia. If it is political all these transcontinental countries, Cyprus and Armenia must be in Europe. And you say Turkey is also politically Asian. Do you have evidences about this? But i have a lot of evidences about European Turkey. Western European and Others Group, WEU, Council of Europe, European Capital of Culture (Istanbul 2010), Eurovision 2004, Euro 2008, UEFA, FIBA Europe, Euroleague, European Olympic Committees, European Volleyball Championship, European Volleyball League, Champions League, EuroBasket,

Turkey is in Europe in Wikitravel.

Turkey is in the EU's context.

You can see Turkey is a part of Europe in European Environment Agency's website.

You can see Turkey in Europe not in Asia or Middle East in the BBC's website.

In Le Monde's website. France is opposite of Turkish EU membership but they don't deny that Turkey is European

Also in the New York Times'.

Tourism in Europe. You can see Turkey!

Europe's forecast. You can see Ankara's wheather :)

Also in IKEA's. and severel others. Լσκυм ^Ħί! 09:09, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll create a new category called Eurasia and put all those countries there except Cyprus. Լσκυм ^Ħί! 04:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Hungarian Passport

Hi Philip! As I said in my edit summary, the H&P index was spam, and it was probably not correct in the first place. I just left the '101' and the 'citation needed' tag so that somebody else would eventually put in the correct number and give a proper reference. If you want to find out the exact number (it's probably more like 105 or 110, as you said) there are some websites that may be useful here and here; they should have current information. I would do it myself, but there are a lot of pages that need attention! Thanks for your contribution, - Gump Stump (talk) 22:21, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Update Image Visa Free Travel

Hi Philip!

I was just wondering whether the map of visa free travel for Hungarians should be updated. Australia is marked as one of the countries requiring visa for Hungarian citizens; however the official website of the Australian Embassy in Budapest says that visa free travel is available through the e-visitor program. I thought the update is necessary since there is no fees for this service and it is pretty much equivalent with ESTA, used by the United States of America. The U.S. is currently marked as a visa free destination for Hungarians, so I believe that Australia should be colored purple as well.

Thank You!

Sincerely,

Your recent changes to Future enlargement of the European Union and Switzerland and the European Union

Hi there,

I just want to let you know that I have challenged your recent changes to Future enlargement of the European Union and Switzerland and the European Union. I think what you added is true, but regardless it should be sourced; not doing that the whole paragraph may be removed in the future. Can you please help us out and add sources for those two edits you made? If you need help adding sources, let me know.

Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 00:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Unblocking

I have forwarded your request to Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies/Unblock. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 03:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Instead of blocking the IP, the user could be given IP block exemption. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 00:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Presidenta.

You say presidenta does not exist in Spanish.

But it does.

1. Presidenta yields 12,700,000 hits in Google, so very many people disagree with you.

2. If you use Google to search inside Costa Rica's La Nacion newspaper website, you find 3,090 presidentas inside that one newspaper. Like this.

One typical article in La Nacion has this headline: Costa Rica elige a su primera presidenta. See it here.

3. If you take that Spanish newspaper headline and give it to Google's translator, it recognises the word presidenta and translates the sentence as Costa Rica elects its first female president. The translator understands the word without difficulty.

4. I asked my Tica friend who is sitting in Moravia, San José right now, who is very gifted at languages, if the new president is called presidente or presidenta and she said, presidenta. That is a trusted, educated woman in Costa Rica whom I know personally whose first language is Spanish. I accept her answer as correct.

5. Spanish writers contributing to the Spanish Wikipedia page for Laura Chinchilla Miranda have put in the word presidenta eight times. See for yourself.

Conclusion: Yours is clearly a minority opinion, sir.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Odea (talk • contribs) 20:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your agreement. Coincidentally, just now, I was reading about the Æ ligature to see if curriculum vitae could be spelled curriculum vitæ and that article linked to Wikipedia's article called Gender-neutrality in Spanish and Portuguese.

There, I found these pertinent remarks:

Presidenta used to be "the president's wife", but there have been several women presidents in Latin American republics, and in modern usage the word means mainly a female president. Some feel that presidente can be treated as invariable, given that it ends in -ente, but others prefer to use a different feminine form.

Literacy in Costa Rica

Hello. FYI, I reverted you here. If the new figure is indeed official, it can be reliably sourced. The ref currently in place puts it at 94.9 percent. Rivertorch (talk) 03:30, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
