Gran Colombia-Peru War
Hola, Andres. I made some big changes to this article. Please read it and tell me whether you think it is more fair now. I am from USA, so I don't really care about who is right, the Peruvians or the Ecuadorians. I hope I have done a good job to be non-partisan. Tell me what you think. PeterHuntington 14:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Andres, you may be the only person (outside Colombia and Ecuador) who thinks Colombia won this war. Please, I beg you, don't let your nationalistic sentiments color your judgments. The English-language Wikipedia should be kept free of these petty disputes between South American neighbors about whose football team is best, whose girls are prettiest, and whose army won a pointless war two hundred years ago. Nobody won this silly war. Colombia got its ass kicked for a couple of years; then it won an important battle near Cuenca; then everybody went home and started telling lies about what happened. Don't question every fact that is favorable to Peru. It does no good. It just incites the Peruvians to try to out-lie the Colombians. Nobody wins this "war" either. PeterHuntington 17:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I dont think that ¨Colombia got its ass kicked¨,and i dont object it for just nationalistic fervor,thoug im not deprived of it,and by the way im an ardent Pan-Americanist so i dont like either tose stupid figths.I've check every source that have got on my hands and they all say the same thing:Peru conquered Bolivia,then invaded Ecuador and the war went in there favor;partly because the political crisis in Gran Colombia:rebelion of the coronels Obando and Lopez,atempted murder against Bolivar,separatism attemps of Venezuela,a monarquic plan that included Urdaneta and other politicians and the always present divisions betwen Santanderists and Bolivarians;the Peruvians blockaded the Colombian coasts and even invaded the colombian province of Loja.By that time Sucre had made it to quito and after organizing the army defeated decisively the peruvians at Tarqui,Bolivar also had controlled the insurrection at Bojaca and the tensions in the country,and the two planned to continue the war into Perú.In Perú the ruling class fearing a colombian intervention depossed La Mar,and signed a treaty with Colombia accepting the initial Colombian negotiation terms,that delimitated the border at the 1809 state(the Peruvians wanted the 1822).So you see Peter, the Peruvians failed to changed the borders as they wanted and even changed the goverment(like in Falcklands),then how can the be a Peruvian victory,or even a stalemate.Saludos.--Andres rojas22 18:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your response, Andres. It would be good if you added the material about Colombia behind-the-scenes: "the political crisis in Gran Colombia: rebellion of the colonels, Obando and Lopez; the attempted murder of Bolivar; secession attemps of Venezuela; a monarchic plan that included Urdaneta and other politicians;, and the always-present divisions betwen Santanderists and Bolivarians ... ", etc.
This is good and valuable material. Why don't you write it up and put it into the article? It would make the article better. Felicitaciones. PeterHuntington 18:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!
Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, and project-wide collaboration.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 01:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
American Revolutionary War
You're not going to be taken very seriously by vandalizing large articles.
Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to American Revolutionary War. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

db tag in my user space
HI, I do not agree that you can read what you suggest from the policies! BUT to make you happy I have removed the content from my user space. Happy now?? Stefan 23:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I saw that I had the category there and THAT was wrong, but that does not mean that you should db tag the whole page!!!!!!!!! Just remove the category (and tell me on my talk page) or ask for me to remove it on my talk page. Now I'm not a newbee (and maybe you saw that) but remember not to WP:BITE newbees.

South American wars
Nice work on the categories! It's good to see more active editors in this area; it's not one we have very good coverage of yet, unfortunately.
If it's not too much trouble, might you be able to occasionally list new categories you create on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/South American military history task force page? It doesn't need to be anything fancy, but even a few rough notes will probably help other editors find things in the future. (Please feel free to use the task force page as a work area, incidentally.) Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 02:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I noticed the globalisation tag you added to the above article. It would be helpful if you added your justification for this tag on the article's talk page as well - personally I don't feel the article merits this tag, but I will leave it for now pending your response ;) EyeSereneTALK 22:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Rafael de Nogales
Dear Andres,
I saw you created an article for Rafael de Nogales. There was already an earlier stub created by me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_de_Nogales
How shall we go about uniting the 2 version. In English, he is best known as Rafael de Nogales, that is why I created article by that name. Sincerely, Hetoum I 02:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi!
I am ok with having full name, as long as we can redirect, so as when we type in Rafael de Nogales, it will take it to the name. Simply add what was in my version to your version, and redirect it to you version. Sound good? Hetoum I 20:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Culture of Japan
Dear Andres, thank you for your edits at Culture of Japan. I moved back the image once again and wrote some reasons in the talk page. Please remember that I apreciate your contributions in Japan-related articles. There are so many messes in articles and I hope you go on editing. --Amagase 10:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to start adding the section on the Venezuelan War of Independence to the article based on that link you had. If you'd like to do it yourself or check what I've done, feel free --AW 20:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Russians in China
Not all ethnic groups around the world follow the American pattern. There are plenty which go the other way around such as Malaysian Chinese, Burmese Indian, British Pakistani, etc. And most countries do not have any such way of referring to their minority groups by these double-barreled nationalities. Compare Special:Prefixindex/Russians in. Thanks, cab (talk) 20:34, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- Making up names by analogy is a form of WP:OR. The term you propose, "Russian Chinese", is simply not used to refer to this population. Googling on that term gives you Russian to Chinese dictionaries or articles about state-to-state relations. More commonly scholars refer to them as Eluosizu, or sometimes "ethnic Russians in China" [1]. cab (talk) 20:45, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- This is not "Wikilawyering" as you accuse me. If you're unwilling to present evidence (sources, not faulty logic) to support your position, then stay out of this topic area entirely. On Wikipedia we go by names used in reliable sources, not names which random people on the internet make up because they think their way is the most logical and follows what they do in America. cab (talk) 21:06, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- I left an entirely neutral message at the WikiProject which has the most expertise in dealing with this topic area and these naming issues. Don't make false accusations of canvassing just because you are afraid of the opinions of people who actually know something about the topic. cab (talk) 21:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
