Why did you remove UK from the map of Rockall? Although it is claimed by some other nations. The United Kingdom is in active possesion. Mintguy (T) 12:40, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC).

The possesion of Rockall is quite disputed. Your postion is not widely accepted. Therefore I removed UK from the map. Metron 15:40, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I know that the isle is in dispute. I wrote a lot of that article. The realpolitik though is that the islands are in the possesion of the United Kingdom, by act of Paliament no-less. AFAIK No other state has officially incorporated the isle into thier nation. That other states claim the islands is irrelevent. If France decided to claim the Isle of Wight, but did nothing to take possesion, would you suggest that we removed any mention of UK from the map the Isle. Would you suggest that we should do the same for the Falklands Islands? Mintguy (T) 22:09, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Chancellor

Why did you insitute a complete revision of the article on the Chancellor of Germany without attempting to instigate any discussion on the talk page? That's bad form, especially since a) many articles about, say, Bismarck, that link to Chancellor of Germany will now link to Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany; and b) Chancellor of the German Empire is a particularly odd title for Weimar chancellors, even if the state was formally still called the German Reich. john k 20:54, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Chancellor of Germany is simply not the correct title. There was nerver a Kanzler von Deutschland. Germany was called Deutsches Reich until 1945 and not only formally. The name Weimar Republic was invented later.Metron 20:57, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Then it should be moved to Chancellor (Germany), not to an article covering only a part. -- till we ☼☽ | Talk 21:01, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
