Hi Kahastok, I know this is not the first time I point this out to you, but I must insist:

“

A reversion can eliminate "good stuff", discourage other editors, and spark an edit war. So if you feel the edit is unsatisfactory, then try to improve it, if possible – reword rather than revert is a useful guideline. Similarly, if only part of an edit is problematic then consider making a partial revert by modifying only that part instead of reverting the whole edit. Try not to revert constructive edits for minor problems – don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

”

...which is why I restored, in slightly modified form, the good bits. Kahastok talk 20:51, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Visa policy of the French overseas departments and territories may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hello - I have posted a suggestion for dispute resolution here. No direct reply to me is necessary. Thank you and kind regards - BlueSalix (talk) 00:02, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments at WP:AN. I will try and prove the community's confidence in me by editing in a productive manner and avoid entering into conflict with other editors as in the past. You may be interested to note I have just launched the article Esteban Mestivier as I promised and I would welcome your input if you have a moment.

User:Wee Curry Monster/José María Pinedo Would appreciate you casting an eye over it before I publish in mainspace. Regards, Wee Curry Monster talk 12:33, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Looks good to me. I have a couple of comments.

From a gnoming point of view, there's a few punctuation marks after references (they go before per WP:REFPUNC), plus an "exhanged" and a "resistantance".

I think there's an inevitable risk that it gets Falklands-dominated, and if you can get hold of it I think some other information on the Cisplatine and Uruguayan wars might be useful. OTOH, chances are there isn't a whole lot out there. Might be worth sprinkling a few more references in on the Cisplatine War in particular (even if it's all to the same citation).

I'm curious as to the section:

On 21 November 1832, Sarandí departed on patrol around the Falkland Islands, where she encountered the American sealer The Sun under the command of T.P.Trott on 7 December 1832. After firing on the The Sun and boarding her, the captain was ordered to quit the Falklands. Trott returned to Montevideo and addressed the American legation there seeking protection from an American warship. As the Americans prepared the USS Lexington to return to the Falklands in order to intercept the Sarandí, the ship was observed entering the River Plate and no action was taken.

Was this after the British arrived, i.e. in January 1833? Seems to me that there is probably time for Sarandí to leave the Falklands "on patrol", board The Sun on 7 December, sail to Buenos Aires and return just before new year, only for the British to arrive on 2 January - but it would surprise me somewhat, particularly since the passage rather implies a shorter timescale (the Americans had time to learn of the incident and start preparing the Lexington before Sarandí arrived), and my memory of events had Pinedo arriving back at Port Luis before Christmas. Given that the section below discusses the mutiny a few days earlier, I think this section might benefit from being a bit more chronological. YMMV of course. Kahastok talk 20:57, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Pinedo arrived in Puerto Luis on 30 December 1832, the Lexington was preparing to leave, when from Montevideo they saw the Sarandí sailing into the River Plate. The Americans had already moved her to Montevidio in response to the gazetting of the Mestivier appointment and she was there to prevent a repeat of the seizure of American sealers in 1830/31. At the time the Americans were aggressively protecting their rights to seal and whale in these waters and very much opposed Argentine pretensions to the Falklands. I'll think about re-arranging it.

Yes it does. Very interesting. I was obviously aware of the user at the time but did not look at the contributions in any detail.

(Of course, at this stage, there's little to be done. Last edit was over a month ago.)

Well done on the FA status BTW. Kahastok talk 19:37, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Re: [4]

Please note that 15 days had gone by without any comments on talk page; the removal of that tag had nothing to do with what I felt about the article. Tags are not supposed to be a shame badge, that stay there forever. --Langus (t) 02:04, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

At the time of this edit, the time period without relevant comments on talk was 35 minutes. Regardless of whether 15 days is enough time, 35 minutes is not. Even if we accept your argument in full, the removal of the tag was not in line with WP:DETAG. Kahastok talk 15:09, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

The problem is that (up to that point) the only opposition came from WCM and the comment on talk page wasn't really relevant, because it lacked of new arguments or sources for his argument which we reject. Also, it could be said that tagging a whole article because of a disagreement on wording was a little bit excessive (see [5]). --Langus (t) 03:25, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Nothing in WP:DETAG says that simply disliking or disagreeing with the case made on talk is sufficient to allow you to remove the tag. Kahastok talk 18:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

There was no case made on talk page except perhaps, ironically, I don't like it. To this days reliable sources for this user's claim have not been provided, while reliable, secondary sources one the contrary were presented. --Langus (t) 21:36, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Kahastok,

I am going to translate in French this article, and I am not sure I well understand the sentence "These were revised in 1876 and 1892." that you wrote a long time ago. What means "These", the status of the islands? the Letters patent? I haven't find anything and as there is no source, I come back to you. Could you please help me? Have a nice day.
