** - Beginning of the Treblinka uprising.
In my opinion this formatting is inferior because the algignments don't flow, and it makes the second entry look like a subsiduary of the first, which it isn't necessarily. For this reason I have reverted to the former style. Thryduulf 01:36, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The IMRO article does not state the ethnicity of the combatants rather than the organization itself. Frightner 18:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Check again: The rebellion in Macedonia affected most of the central and southwestern parts of the Bitola Vilayet receiving the support of the local Bulgarian peasants, Grkomani and Vlach population of the region. It is the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie one. Mr. Neutron 18:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Read the articles used as sources, it specifically refers to the population living within the Macedonian boundaries as "Macedonians". Your reference does not prove that the uprising was carried out solely by Bulgarians and Greeks. Frightner 18:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Btw, the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie uprishing did not take part only in the region of Macedonia, but also in the Odrin region. Mr. Neutron 18:37, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide sources for your claims, you have not done this on an outstanding amount of occasions. Please refer to this map which outlines the geographic locations of the individual rebellions. Frightner 18:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As mentioned, read sources at Ilinden-Preobrazhenie uprising, and stop waving some maps from Macedonist forums. Mr. Neutron 19:21, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not waving anything. Unlike yourself, I am providing adequate criteria to help you understand my opinion and to further resolve this debate. Frightner 19:40, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

text: So why don't you go ahead and read the article then? So far the only thing you have proved is that you have not done this. --Laveol T 21:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please read the previous comments Laveol before jumping to conclusions. Frightner 09:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

text: As far as I see you're the one jumping into conlusions without first reading the article in question and checking the sources behind it. --Laveol T 10:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Mr. Neutron clearly stated " "Macedonian" ethnicity did not exist then". He then referred me to the sources in the IMRO article which clearly identify individuals living within Macedonia's borders as Macedonians. As far as I'm concerned, users such as yourselves constanly change your POV to suit your nationalistic beliefs. Frightner 10:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

text: You have read this in non-etnic Macedonian sources? Are you sure? --Laveol T 11:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless John McDonald is an ethnic Macedonian, then yes I am sure. Frightner 11:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Jamboree 2008 (Ireland) is to commence tomorow (2nd August), and finish on the 10th of August. It is important as it is the first jamboree being organised by Scouting Ireland. The Jamboree will also celebrate 100 years of scouting in Ireland. If there are no objections, I will be adding it to the list before the end of the day.Seanor3 (talk) 17:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This event does not have global notability.  Generally, it is impossible to judge the long term global notability of an event until some time after it has occurred, let alone before it has occurred.  The event does not seem appropriate for the list.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 17:53, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Personnaly, I believe it does have global notability, due to both its size(it will be the biggest held this year). And the high number of international troops attending. Out of a total 15,000 approx. on site, one fifth (3000) will be international attendees.Seanor3 (talk) 17:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems that it would have little notability outside the world of scouting and it would have little impact on the world at large in the long term.  It sounds like a nice little festival, but at the very least, we'd need to see what impact it has on the world before we add it to the list.  If it is still a popular topic in world newscasts in three months, then perhaps it should be included.  If it serves only to be newsworthy for the duration of the festival, then it will not have the long term global notability necessary for inclusion.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 18:03, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

"internationally recognized" is not a requirement. If the subject is sufficiently notable (see :WP:N) then it's fine to have an entry here. Otherwise, who is determining the criteria for international recognition? It seems entirely arbitrary. In fact two different editors have created two different lists and many of the names on the list I don't recognize. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:36, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
