I added HARVEY W. BARNHILL to the list of PILOTS in ALASKA AVIATION HISTORY, then added a biography page for Barnhill linked from the list of PILOTS. You immediately deleted the bio page, but left his name listed in the list of PILOTS. The reason sighted is that it is an individual without indication of his importance.
I was beginning an extensive effort to add the names & biographies of the Alaska Bush Pilots from the pioneer era 1920 - 1940. I have researched & developed bios on over 100 pioneer Alaska bush pilot who contributed to Alaska aviation during this period. I also was going to add to the list of DEFUNCT AIRLINES in the ALASKA AVIATION HISTORY section.
HARVEY W. BARNHILL was one of the very early bush pilots. He & LINIOUS McGEE founded BARNHILL & McGEE AIRWAYS, which became McGEE AIRWAYS (one of the earliest airlines in Alaska). BARNHILL & McGEE AIRWAYS became McGEE AIRWAYS which sold to STAR AIR SERVICE, which became STAR AIRLINES which with mergers & acquisitions became ALASKA STAR AIRLINES, which became the ALASKA AIRLINES of today.
I had planned to add HARVEY W. BARNHILL & LINIOUS McGEE bios, then BARNHILL & McGEE AIRWAYS, then McGEE AIRWAYS, all appropriately linked. This initial set of 4 pages would begin adding factual useful info on Alaska Aviation History not presently covered in Wikipedia.
How do you want me to proceed??

PS - I also added some birth & death years to several of the PILOTS in the list that were missing dates. These edits were not deleted.
The article was deleted because it gave no indication of why this person is notable; it basically just said that he did his job, and doesn't say why he was significant. Wikipedia has a strict notability guideline for biographies, which you should skim before you try to write a new article. I have the ability to restore your Harvey Barnhill article, but not without evidence of why this individual meets the notability guidelines.
Also, as a side note: the article was full of grammar and style errors, to the point that it was almost unreadable. Please proofread your work before you add it to Wikipedia.

Actually, having this information on the Wiki IS relevant, because many people are unaware that he is not involved with Green Hornet any longer, and a Wiki page is supposed to be INFORMATIVE AND FACTUAL. Glossing over this bit of history is cleansing his professional history and providing a disservice to fans/readers by omission of relevant history.
In fact, when I have the time I will add a paragraph talking about this sad chapter for Stephen Chow fans. Hollywood kicked Mr. Chow in the teeth. The wiki should document professional successes AND professional failures. It is his LIFE, after all.

Every time I post my bio article on Harvey W. Barnhill - you (or someone else) deletes it. I have tried to explain to you that I am attempting to add bio information on the Alaska Bush Pilots of the pioneer 1920 -1940 era, as well as history articles on the airlines in Alaska during this period, all of which are now defunct.
These pilots & airlines contributed much to the development of Alaska before statehood as supported by the Alaska Centennial Commission, The Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum, University of Alaska Press / Film Archives, etc.
As far as I can tell you don't even give me an explanation other than your original cryptic criticism. I have rewritten the article & reposted it twice but it keeps disappearing.
Besides the criticism do you have any constructive suggestions on how to accomplish this objective, or should I just quit wasting a considerable amount of time trying to develop the understanding to contribute?

Good call; I think you were right to remove it.

Is it possible to unfreeze Fred Singer and keep discussion of the disputed section in the Fred Singer talk page (as has been tried repeatedly in good faith by GoRight and others, including myself) till the disputed section is resolved without requiring a freezing of the whole article?--there is a certain aspect of "tag teaming" which I think underlies the current reverting difficulties. The reverts are often accompanied by snide remarks/no or perfunctory justification and the talk page gets much worse. An example: "Singer['s]...work during the last 30 years is a politically motivated crock of shit...." [strikethrough was in original and was meant as a sarcastic insult--see other similar insults directed at GoRight and others in the same section], so I think GoRight is getting a bad rap here--he has honestly been trying to add balance (whether I/others agree with him or not) and trying to get civil discussions going without much success. The current issue is how to deal with "sourced" ad hominem labels in a held-to-a-higher-standard Biography of living persons. I'm not sure reverts attempting ensure consensus gathering should be viewed as being of the same form as those trying to avoid it, either.
Btw, the version frozen in place was the one reverted to by the editor holding the "Singer['s]...work during the last 30 years is a politically motivated crock of shit...." animus. --John G.

I don't know why you are leaving this message with me; I am not the person who protected the article (User:Cbrown1023 is) and I have been defending User:GoRight anyway.
As for your question, I believe protecting the article was an appropriate move on Cbrown's part and I do not feel comfortable unfreezing it at the moment. The edit warring between you and Stephan Schulz so soon after the previous protection was removed is shameful, on both parts, and no admin will unfreeze the article until they are confident that you guys and other editors will stop revert warring over this. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs11:47, 4 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-04T11:47:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-04T11:47:00.000Z-John_G._Miles-2009-08-04T05:54:00.000Z","replies":["c-GoRight-2009-08-04T19:09:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-04T11:47:00.000Z","c-John_G._Miles-2009-08-05T00:34:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-04T11:47:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
"I have been defending User:GoRight anyway." - I do appreciate your handling of the matter, and I do recognize that you could easily have decided to fall on the opposite side of the fence as it was. I have no problems at all with the constraints you have articulated and I don't intend to abuse your trust in this matter. Regarding the second page protection by Cbrown1023 under the circumstances it would probably be best to let that one stick, IMHO. Plenty can be discussed on talk anyway and its not like the topics being discussed will determine the state of the free world (at least any time soon!).

"I don't know why you are leaving this message with me;" You had just been active in the administrative effort to achieve appropriate discourse. I also had not noted that full protection did allow eventual changes as approved by the admin & that someone later pointed out to me. I do not disagree that the freeze is appropriate--that was absolutely not my point. It just seemed to be an awfully blunt instrument for an effort to take a single, ad hominem remark (however weakly worded) out of the article while consensus was being sought in talk (which was very clearly requested in my two edits on this very specific ad hom--BLP has specific related exceptions to the 3rr rule--I am unclear as to why adhering to those guidelines constitutes "shameful" behavior, but that's my problem.). The Singer article is in a perpetual state of stasis for the very reason that all such efforts to improve neutrality are immediately reverted by a cadre of what I would call "true believers." I was trying to (unshamefully) move it to where Wikipedia states it belongs. If it is a hopeless cause, it is a hopeless cause.
"I have been defending User:GoRight anyway." I also left a message with the admin who protected the page, but haven't received a response, and my inclusion of the GoRight material was part of the discussion on that admin's page--I should have removed it when copying my concerns here as I believe it confused the issue: I wasn't implying any criticism of you. --John G.

I have been trying to add a lot of important info on early Alaska aviation history. I have a lot of well researched info on the pioneer bush pilots of the 1920 - 1940 era, as well as info on the many airlines formed during this period, that through many mergers, ended up being Alaska Airlines and a part of Delta Airlines.
I added some birth & death dates to your existing list of pilots, and added the names of about 90 additional bush pilots of the 1920 - 1940 era. These are all notable pioneers who contributed to the development of Alaska which was and continues to be so dependent on aviation. All of these pilots were honored by the ALASKA CENTENNIAL COMMISSION in 1967.
YOU DELETED ALL MY ADDITIONS WITHOUT COMMENT! YOU EVEN DELETED SEVERAL OF THE PILOTS IN YOUR ORIGINAL LIST! You changed the "PILOT" heading to "NOTABLE PILOTS." You even deleted a pilot from the original list who was also a Territorial Senator from Alaska and one of the authors and signers of the Alaska State Constitution!
YOU HAVE ALSO DELETED MOST OF THE ARTICLES I HAVE SUBMITTED EITHER WITHOUT COMMENT OR WITH SOME RUDE COMMENTS indicating that IN YOUR JUDGMENT these people or airlines were not NOTABLE enough! Perhaps the Alaska Centennial Commission and the Alaska Historians are much better judges of who & what is notable than you are!
Wikipedia does not have much information on this important subject of Alaska Aviation History. For example, the article on ALASKA AIRLINES is a very short stub and the flag ASKS for contributions of more information. I am trying to add information on the 14 airlines that became Alaska Airlines and the 100 or so pioneer bush pilots who started it all.
IS THERE SOMEONE AT WIKIPEDIA I CAN WORK WITH that is a lot MORE HELPFUL and a lot LESS RUDE? PLEASE ADVISE!

while we're at it, I need a legal opinion regarding the Griqualand East-article:
So that country printed its own money in 1867 and burnt/destroyed most of those banknotes shortly after that 'cause they realized the idea was total junk and wouldn't work. Only a handful of those notes remain, and the copyright has definitely expired (1867, US+100, SAfr.+70).
And then there's this guy who takes a picture of one of those rare pieces, posts it on the web, and claims he now has the copyright. Hm?
Is that a legal claim?(e.g. If I Photoshop it, can I use it?)
Or does that mean "this specific photo I took is mine and I own it"?

I never said it the fact itself requires a citation; I said I am "seriously" of the opinion that claiming a connection between this fact and Douglas' reason for making 42 is original research.

Hi Rjanag. I have noticed your work on the Epoch Times and I think your objectivity and editing experience can also be used at other articles that deal with Falun Gong media and PR organizations such as NTDTV, Shen Yun Performing Arts etc. All of these articles desperately need to be checked for POV, with some of the articles being constantly abused by one particular user.

The user I mentioned above has engaged in serious content and policy violations with Falun Gong related content. He violates WP:OWN and often reverts changes intermittently with dubious reasoning and shows little respect to other peoples' views. He constantly throws out personal attacks and his blanking of content has become very methodical and often turns away good faith editors like OhConfucius and myself. He has been cautioned endlessly on his talk page and has been banned in the past. His abuse is immediately visible if you check his contributions. He needs to be topic-banned (or banned completely) as soon as possible, much like the pro-CCP anti-Uyghur "User:ChinaHistorian" on the Urumqi riots articles. I was wondering if you could help me through this process.

I have generally stayed away from FLG articles because it's too much drama for me (other than the Urumqi riots, almost all the articles I work on are ones that only get a few views per day). But I can try to look into this user. From my quick glance now, I don't see grounds for a complete ban, as he appears to make some constructive or uncontroversial edits as well (for example, this) and appears to edit the talkpages more than the articles themselves. If you can supply diffs or specific page histories and dates to show revert warring, OWNership, and personal attacks, that would be useful. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs17:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-05T17:05:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-05T17:05:00.000Z-Colipon-2009-08-05T15:34:00.000Z","replies":["c-Colipon-2009-08-05T17:51:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-05T17:05:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

I think the best thing to do in this case would be to open up an RFC/U about the user. His long block log and extensive warnings are, obviously, worrisome, but to be honest in the diffs you give me I don't see anything immediately blockable; while it is obvious that this user has problems, the particular diffs aren't anywhere near ChinaHistorian level, and he looks more like just a user with a bad attitude and a POV but not necessarily a worthless user. For instance:
[1] Probably shouldn't be edit-warring or removing that from discussion, but at least he is claiming a logical (although not necessarily valid or correct) reason for wanting to remove it.
[2] Misinterpreting a style guideline ("Criticism" sections are discouraged, but not 100% banned) and doing it for POV reasons...but this is just bad editing, it's nowhere near as egregious as what some people do
[3] Another problematic edit which probably was motivated by the wrong reasons (trying to whitewash out Li Hongzhi-ism); the original source says "It has a set of writings by the leader that are taken as true beyond the level of truth that you would regard a normal author as having. That is, they're gospel in some sense. That the teacher, the leader, is regarded as being greater and more powerful than normal human beings; that the things that that teacher says are taken as truer and more real and more powerful than anything else, anybody else says, and that there is a well developed, I would call theology, but possibly doctrine, that includes morality, practice and a whole complete world view. So it looks like a religion to me.". Taken by itself this is not necessarily a horrible edit--if you only read the last sentence of that paragraph, rather than the whole thing, you could take it to be saying something like what the editor rephrased it to, although if you read the whole paragraph it's clear that the original version is more accurate. Although of course, as part of a greater trend, I would say this is a legitimate problem edit.
[4] Actually he's not calling NYT a fringe theory, he's saying the supposedly racist part of FLG is a fringe part and doesn't need to be mentioned. This I would call a legitimate content disagreement (even if he's wrong, it's still a content disagreement and not a behavior problem).
[5] Definitely bad writing and overly promotional (he pays lip service to a criticism of the group, in just one sentence, but then 'counters' it in the next sentence, and 95% of the edit is positive anyway), but not blockable in of itself.
Anyway, my reason for discussing all those diffs is not to defend the user or say that I agree with his editing, but to point out that, while he is a problem editor, he hasn't done anything block-able and there's not really anything I myself can do about this. The best thing you guys can do, as far as I know, is file an RFC/U so that more editors can discuss this user's actions and decide what to do. If any action is taken, I imagine it would be to sanction this user against editing FLG articles directly, and have him agree instead to only post suggestions/comments on talk pages (essentially, an FLG-wide topic ban from article editing...I don't see any reason to ban him from talkpage editing, unless you can produce evidence that he is deliberately trolling or otherwise being disruptive). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs17:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-07T17:47:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-07T17:47:00.000Z-Ohconfucius-2009-08-06T02:10:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

I would like to thankyou for your continued participation with me in helping Roy Dickson. I looked at his last edit at Talk:History_of_aviation_in_Alaska#Long_list_of_pilots and he raised the question as to what are the criteria for listing pilots.

You probably want WP:NLIST (notability criterion for lists of people), and WP:ANYBIO (general notability guideline for people). Most notability guides are not relevant because they tend to be about whether something is notable enough for its own article, rather than notable enough to be in a list. For lists, the concern is more with style guidelines than notability per se; the question is whether an article benefits from a giant list of people for whom significance isn't demonstrated (ie, people who have done nothing other than have a career). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs19:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-07T19:18:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-07T19:18:00.000Z-Smallman12q-2009-08-07T19:05:00.000Z","replies":["c-Smallman12q-2009-08-07T21:25:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-07T19:18:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Thanks for stepping in and assisting here. I'll agree with most of your comments, it could have been handled better. Inurhead has been, in the past, very difficult to bring to a discussion, any discussion. I'll try to do better. Would you be willing to talk to Inurhead about his accusations he's raising in various places? I don't really like being labeled (even by him) as something I'm not. Yup, I know I've called him a SPA, something that's very, very clear from his history. The sock thing, he's reacting to multiple editors disagreeing with him, not by any evidence. And no, for the record, I'm not a sock of anyone. Again, thanks!

Hey - great addition to the hangon template. Not sure if you knew this, but it actually went live already (because it was already in the hangon main template)... it still contained what looked like two links to example.com - one of which I've fixed - the other (purge) I'm still trying to figure out how to fix because the parser wants to add action=edit which is overriding action=purge. I've also requested protection on the page to match the hangon template. Hope I didn't mess you up.

Actually, the {{purge}} template was fine (in fact, I never new about that template, and it's rather nice; a lot more concise than the other means), but since I had already used {{fullurl}} for the other instance, I figured it would be more consistent. As for the includeonlys, I'm not sure what happened there....I thought by having subst statements in includeonly it would cause there to be a link when the template is transcluded, without having transcluded {{fullurl}}s within the transcluded template, but when I tried it out in my sandbox it didn't work, so I just removed the subst's. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs11:35, 7 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-07T11:35:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-07T11:35:00.000Z-7-2009-08-07T11:31:00.000Z","replies":["c-7-2009-08-07T11:38:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-07T11:35:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

So for the first time, I was being really bold on Sujiatun Thrombosis Hospital since ohconfucius brought the edit-war over this hospital to my attention... this has gotten out of hand... undue weight to all the allegations when there's already a main article with all the details.

That seems ok to me... to be honest, I'm not sure I've ever even looked closely at the Reports of organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China, as I tend to stay away from the FLG articles (too much drama for me, and trying to keep them clean is too Sisyphian). The main issue, I think, is the question of whether the content at Reports_of_organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China#The_Sujiatun_case is a full (or even full-er) copy of what used to be at Sujiatun Thrombosis Hospital. I think that stuff does at least belong somewhere (perhaps for a selfish reason—it turns out I wrote most of it! although I later forgot about having written it), but perhaps not at the hospital article....although, at the very least, the hospital needs a prominent {{main}} link, or even a hatnote, leading to the other article, since the hospital's main (and, indeed, only) claim to fame is the FLG accusations, and anyone searching for it on WP is probably going to be looking for that.
As for basic information on staff and founding...I don't think anyone has found that yet, other than what is mentioned in the FLG-related investigations. If no such information is found, we might even have to just turn this article into a redirect to the other page. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs17:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-07T17:55:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-07T17:55:00.000Z-Seb_az86556-2009-08-07T17:49:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Did read both. Good. Just wanted to clarify this since you put so much work into it (and I sat here for a few moments contemplating before hitting "save"...).
Also -- I de-linked the word "concentration camp"... people throw that word around like it's nothing. Even some FLG-websites I skimmed say only 7 dead. That's tragic, but ridiculous. Anyone who screams "concentration camp" obviously has no idea about Auschwitz, Treblinka, Bosnian rape camps, or even the second Boer war for that matter. Linking there in this case is inappropriate.

I have a suspicion that User:Marc87 is an automated program rather than a human editor. His edits seem to follow a formula, he has made no effort to make his user page presentable (most users have a little pride), comments on his talk page are simply reverted rather than responded to, and when he is editing he is editing large numbers of articles at a regular pace (no need to take a potty break?). This seems wrong. Do you know if there is a policy that applies or a place to open an investigation?

I don't think he's an automated program, because he sometimes changes things up (for example, there was an article he made bad edits to a couple times, but when I hounded him about it enough he slinked away...if he were an automated program I think he would have kept it up). I think he's just a bad editor with no interest in communicating with people—similar to the now indef-blocked User:Ninthwhen. Anyway, as far as I know there's no way to check things like that, although you could ask someone who has checkuser (but I don't think they can do anything about it, AFAIK all they can do is check IP addresses), or a bot operator (since they might know more about how to recognize accounts that are bots). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs00:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-09T00:21:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-09T00:21:00.000Z-Readin-2009-08-08T23:16:00.000Z","replies":["c-Readin-2009-08-09T00:25:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-09T00:21:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Keep in mind, though, that a user can be blocked without being a bot ;). This is pretty much the same thing that happened with Ninthwhen, and I was able to block him forever because he never responded to any discussions.

Looks like he removed the traditional character version of the name (新疆维吾尔自治区 and 新疆維吾爾自治區 are both the same thing, only the latter is traditional characters). I was about to revert...but I assume his unstated rationale was that this is PRC so traditional characters are irrelevant. I don't have a strong feeling either way, but if you want to revert and tell him to go to the talk page that would be fine. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs

I would like to bring to your attention this picture, readily being used as circumstantial "evidence" that Chinese gov't is harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners (this and a few other "evidence" charts have been added to the article, citing Kilgour-Matas).

Clearly OR, unless you're using it to cite someone else having used it to make these claims. (ie, saying "Kilgour-Matas used the following graph to say..." is technically true, though not necessarily good writing.... whereas saying "this graph proves..." is junk.) Anyone who's had an elementary school education knows that going from this chart to "they must be harvesting organs!" is a huge jump in logic. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs22:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-09T22:00:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-09T22:00:00.000Z-Colipon-2009-08-09T19:40:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
I'm not sure why his talkpage needs to be deleted, as it's a record of discussions that have been had (and, more importantly, a record of my laundry list of reasons why a Sarey Savy article is never going to happen) and doesn't have any identifying personal information AFAIK. I'll have to look into his userpage more closely. As for his subpage, I have no problem with deleting it but I probably shouldn't be the one to do it; I would recommend MfDing it.
On a side note, I am just about to block the user indefinitely.

rv good faith -- this makes it somewhat suggest that these languages got CL from Chinese, whereas it's actually ambiguous. "close to" refers to both geographically and typologically
A lot of East Asian languages have, indeed, borrowed/influenced from Chinese language. I don't see why it should not read "borrowed" or "influenced by". "Close to"? The only languages that borrowed from Chinese ARE located in Asia, which IS CLOSE to PRC. Explain?

My apologies if it seems like I was disregarding your edit, that was not my intention. My point was just that, since this paragraph is specifically about doubts over whether the classifier system was borrowed from Chinese or borrowed into Chinese, it would be best to use the most neutral language possible; while it is true that many languages have been influenced Chinese (just as it is true that Chinese has been influenced by other languages), that's not the main point here, and using languages like that can predispose the reader towards one view or another (i.e., "oh, well if these languages were shaped by Chinese, then of course it makes sense to assume they got their classifier systems from it!). The source I am quoting, if I remember correctly, just lists a bunch of languages (such as Thai, Burmese, and others) that have similar classifier systems, so I was rewording a bit. Of course, you are correct that there is a well-known linguistic concept of a sinosphere (languages that have used Chinese characters in the past, or still do, and have been influenced by Chinese throughout history), but the point here is just that a bunch of languages have similar systems and no one is quite sure who had it first and who borrowed it.
As for copyediting, personally I don't think much more copyediting is necessary (it has already been through GAN, PR, one FAC, several other copyedits, and the most recent one by GeometryGirl—it was her, not me, who left the message at your talkpage), but if you are interested in the article you are welcome to contribute. I am not really intending to start a fight over this sentence, I would much rather have a discussion about it. Anyway, I'm just saying, you don't need to stress out about rushing to copyedit since it's not an urgent need (there are probably other articles that need your attention more) but also you shouldn't feel unwelcome to edit; it's just up to you. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs03:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-14T03:29:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-14T03:29:00.000Z-Dasani-2009-08-14T00:17:00.000Z","replies":["c-Dasani-2009-08-14T05:02:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-14T03:29:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

I was thinking about the page load issue a little bit, and I hit on something that could speed things up. Right now the credits are in an invisible div. This means that the Wikipedia servers, and your browser, render the credits, but make them invisible (try looking at the page source). If we comment out the credits, it does not act like a transcluded template, but some random text lying around. This would effectively cut the number of transcluded templates in half (we still have {{*mp}}s) and might make a dent in the speed issue some people are seeing.

That was the original plan for the template, but I could never get it working; the template would always treat <!-- --> as commented-out parts of the template itself, rather than text to be inserted after the subst. I tried with includeonlys and stuff and never got it working, which is why I ultimately changed it to invisible divs. Another option would be to display the credits as nowiki text, which would show up in the regular page (not the edit window) but not load as transcluded templates...but that would be very cluttery. Anyway, feel free to try things out (copy the text of Template:NewDYKnomination into User:Rjanag/NewDYKnom dev or another sandbox) and see if you can get the commenting-out working. I don't have time to do any template work right now but I might be able to try in a week or two. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs22:26, 18 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-18T22:26:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-18T22:26:00.000Z-Shubinator-2009-08-18T22:21:00.000Z","replies":["c-Shubinator-2009-08-18T22:46:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-18T22:26:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Got it! Change to template, sandbox test. The random includeonly's break up the comment-out syntax on the template itself, so it doesn't act as a comment. But when the template gets substituted, the includeonly's go away, and what's left is comment-out syntax. Same strategy as meta:Help:Substitution#Includeonly.

One was a month ago, when he was a brand new editor and there was good reason to be pointing out problematic edits.

I don't see how I'm the one being accused of "edit warring" when I'm the ONLY one offering to discuss this issue in order to reach a consensus. I've started a discussion on the talk page, and provided reasons for my edits, yet no one has participated in the talk page, and no reasons have been provided for the undoing of my edits, including (as of this edit) by you.

Hi Rjanag, I know you're busy, but I was wondering if I could get your opinion/assistance on something. The ninja article is currently a poorly constructed mishmash, and very prone to vandalism. If you take a quick look at the history, you'll see that most of the edits during the last few months have been vandalism from IP editors. This includes childish insertions, trolling, and what appears to be copyright violations. There is also a persistent trend to add poorly written, unsourced, and somewhat dubious information to an already controversial article. I was wondering if it is perhaps appropriate to apply semi-protection to this page.
I will inform you that I am currently working on a total rewrite of the article here, and plan to put it up probably sometime this week. I will also try for a DYK nomination. Please let me know what you think about article protection. Cheers ~ AMorozov〈talk〉21:04, 24 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-24T21:04:00.000Z","author":"AMorozov","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-AMorozov-2009-08-24T21:04:00.000Z-Ninjas!","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-08-24T21:23:00.000Z-AMorozov-2009-08-24T21:04:00.000Z"]}}-->
From my quick glance, I'm not sure semi-protection is necessary or appropriate. While there is some vandalism reverting (as there is at just about any prominent article), it's not as nonstop or frequent as it is at other articles that I've seen get semi-protection (take, for example, Perry Meridian High School); likewise, the IP edits don't appear to be 100% unconstructive, it looks like there have been a few legitimate edits from IPs as well, and those would be blocked if the page were to be semi-protected. A lot of the vandalism has come in spurts from single IP addresses (which can be handled with blocks, rather than protection). Furthermore, it appears that not all the stuff being reverted is vandalism. While bad writing and unsourced additions may be annoying, it's not vandalism, and pages usually aren't semi-protected over those things (an example is Spoonerism, which gets pretty much nothing but junk additions, but has not been semi-protected; another is Sociological and cultural aspects of Tourette Syndrome).
It seems to me that your best bet would be to wait until after you've posted your new version, and then see what form the IP editing takes—if people don't feel a need to add junk to the new, bigger version, then there might no longer be a need to semi-protect. The main thing to worry about is making sure the new draft you're writing has the support of other editors there and nothing important is lost from the original, but it looks like you have already started a discussion to keep people involved in the rewriting, which is good.
As for DYK, that will probably not be possible. The draft would have to double in size before it meets the 5x requirement (it's currently about 25,000 characters, as compared to 10,000 in the actual article), and by then it would be longer than a typical article should be; furthermore, even if it technically meets the 5x expansion requirement, I would be hesitant to feature an article that has already had such large and prominent coverage on Wikipedia (it's mostly for featuring new topics, or things that were just expanded from stubs). You'd probably be better off taking the new article for a GA assessment and then to FAC (and if it makes FA, then it would be able to get an even more prominent spot on the main page anyway). If you disagree, though, you can ask for comment from DYK regulars at WT:DYK. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs21:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-24T21:23:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-08-24T21:23:00.000Z-AMorozov-2009-08-24T21:04:00.000Z","replies":["c-AMorozov-2009-08-25T01:34:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-08-24T21:23:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Ah, yes, you're right. For some reason I had always thought the required amount of expansion for DYK was 2x.. too bad :(. I am worried about the ninja article because in the entire time it's been on Wikipedia, I have yet to see anyone take serious initiative on it, nor anybody who seems to have any background knowledge on Japanese military affairs involved. I am most concerned that if I stop watching the article, it will descend back into a mess, and I can't always be here. But like you said, I will wait and see what happens after I update it with the new version. Thank you for your time.

Hi Rjanag, sorry to bug you again. There seems to be several IP editors [9], [10], [11] bent on reverting the ninja article back to one revision, where some uncited and exaggerated nonsense was added.

The reason is political. Although Kokang is in Shan State, it is not ruled by Shan State. Many people do not know that Shan State is in Myanmar/Burma, and people know it well should also be aware of its uneasy relationship with the central government. So I was wondering that, if Laukkai is listed "only under" the category of Shan State, it will seem like something is being implied.

Since you have encountered him before, so I'm bringing him to your attention. After checking out, I figure out the user comes from Chinese Wikipedia with the same disruption on similar subjects. If you see the history of Annals of the Joseon Dynasty[13], inter Wiki from Chinese Wikipedia has been changed three times, and that was due to Guangzhou 2010 (talk·contribs)'s tendentious edit warring over there[14] and comes here to continue his edit warring.
The user insists on using the name for what Chinese call in China, not in English or in Korea. Would you warn him to use edit summary and refrain from pushing POV crossing over multiple Wikiprojects?

Thank you, but I think his activities at this stage are not blockable yet, so a "warning" would be enough (I hope). If he would not cease the disruption after today, I might need to contact the meta sysop. His POV pushing is not only limited to the article of Annal of the Joseon Dynasty, but also to related articles given his activities on Chinese Wikipedia. I expect he would carry out the same M.O to here, so he should be watched by more eyes. That's all. (for an unknown reason, my computer has some errors whenever I access Meta).

I agree that Uyghur people was an appropriate use of the template, but that was one of the very few recent examples that I could think of. Most of the time, the template is used inappropriately ("Hey, this topic is related to a current event, so I gotta add this template!"), and there are usually no more than 2 or 3 (or none at all, often enough) articles using it. I don't think that we need an extra template for those few cases. --Conti|✉16:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-30T16:40:00.000Z","author":"Conti","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Conti-2009-08-30T16:40:00.000Z-Template:Current_related","replies":["c-Conti-2009-08-30T17:30:00.000Z-Conti-2009-08-30T16:40:00.000Z"]}}-->
I don't think this should always be used, although the two examples you cite look fine to me. The point of these templates is to warn our readers of rapid change, as you say, but articles related to current events rarely do change rapidly. Heck, current events themselves rarely change rapidly. Mostly I'm just worried about misuse of the template, because there's usually no one monitoring the use of these templates. --Conti|✉17:30, 30 August 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-30T17:30:00.000Z","author":"Conti","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Conti-2009-08-30T17:30:00.000Z-Conti-2009-08-30T16:40:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
Although I agree that it is dictator claims are not a reliable source, it is the only source available to us. I suggest putting (official figures) or (government estimate) below it. Dictatorships also usually claim to kill large numbers of enemies at a minimal cost to themselves, but in this case, the govewrnment admitted to heavy losses. This suggestds casualties may be higher, but it is the only source we have so far, and should stay labelled (government claim) until an independent estimate can be verified.

As it is an official figure from an involved party, it should be included. If it is tagged with "According to Junta Government", readers will understand this is not neccesarily true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reenem (talk • contribs)

Ah thanks. That might be true. I think this part of the article threw me:
"The fighting began between soldiers from the Kokang minority group and government troops, but it broadened to involve at least two more groups, the Wa and the Kachin. All three groups oppose the central government."
as if to imply it involved others, but it is not mentioned again in the article, nor have I seen it mentioned anywhere else. Of the news items I have seen, there seems to be tension, though it's still unclear as to how many groups were involved.

I guess anybody's writing style can be considered prescriptive, yours or mine included, when someone insists on it never being edited. As I am sure you know, neither the internet nor wikipedia is a reliable source of quality writing.
I did not write that you had not edited the article. What I pointed out was that you were not editing my entries, but simply deleting them. You did, however, leave the reference to Pete Earley. However, your use of the quotation changed the meaning somewhat, especially when you changed the chronology, which is an important part of the psycho-donuts story.

That being said, I was a bit concerned when he first edited the SK page, thought he might be a sock of User:Rayesworied. But he has had an account on en-wiki for a pretty long time (although, granted, it was inactive for a very long time), and he seems to have a slightly better grasp of things than Rayesworied... also, they seem to both be active on ko-wiki (ie, Clockoon probably wasn't just a 'sleeper' account that someone abandoned until getting blocked), although I don't know Korean so I can't tell if there's any similarity in their editing. All things considered, I think they're probably not the same. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs06:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-01T06:22:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-01T06:22:00.000Z-Seb_az86556-2009-09-01T05:44:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

This amn was neither Dutch nor Belgian, he was American. American usage is "Van", all the sources say "Van" referring to this person.

But the exact line being paraphrase is:
"However, this is an unusal case and, for the most part, there is no equivalent attempt to ameliorate the situation through explanatory or compensatory textual production."
That sums up what the text is given without trying to embelish: he stated it as an unusal case and the circumstances were unique. Directly after that he goes on a tangent about glitch hunting and the importance of it for players to poke holes in video games to see what they find, which is a different angle than the article is discussing. I don't understand why you feel the need to come across as antagonistic over it, but no use of peacock words or other hubbub is being done here or intended in any way.

Hi how are you? I hope you are fine. I am writing to you because of the protection of the page Lower Silesia. There is a region in Germany that belongs to Lower Silesia, and this can be proven by the fact that on the official website of that region, there is the coat of arms of Lower Silesia shown. www.kreis-goerlitz.de Thats why i wanted to include three german cities of that region which lie in germany, into a city list of that page. But someone else keeps reverting my changes all the time, because those cities only belonged to Lower Silesia from 1815 on. But that is no reason not to include those cities because the page Lower Silesia is not about Lower Silesia prior to 1815. Now this page is protected and i can't change it anymore. There is mostly just one person who always reverts my changes, and i think that his opinion can't be seen as neutral.
I also don't understand why i am in an edit war, because i just change obviously wrong things.
But now the page is protected in the version without those cities and i can't add them anymore.
I've been trying to discuss the topic on the discussion page, and everyone who has a look on it, can see that i explained the facts in detail, and that i was very engaged in the discussion. But all i get are very short unlogical answers, and a revert of my changes.
A neutral person is needed to solve the problem.
Or, why is the official usage of an coat of arms of a region not proof enough that this region belongs to the region of which it uses the coat of arms? it is always deleted with the annotation: del original research i thought official pages are a proof. The region belonged to lower silesia from 1815 on, and that is no reason to exclude it, just because other regions were longer part of lower silesia.

Sorry, but I'm not really interested in getting involved in the content dispute. Like I said already, edit warring is never an appropriate way to solve a problem; even if you are sure your edits are correct, you need to get consensus for them if there is a dispute.

Actually, I just discovered this ArbCom case and I see that you were very close to being put on a 1RR restriction for these articles; therefore you, just like PasswordUsername, are dangerously close to getting blocked for edit warring.

Rjanag, please take a look at the edits going on. User:Andora1 inserts his own WP:OR claim that all of the critics made false claims about the film in a section called "False Accusations". Meanwhile, no proof (WP:RS) of this is offered. I believe this is abuse of Wikipedia.
Furthermore, the claim that critics are lying about the movie would be a violation of WP:BLP. Any controversial statements about living people must be referenced. I noted this concern in my edit summary: [21]. It seems that reverting is the only legitimate thing to do per Wikipedia protocol – else, we would imply that these living people (scholars, historians, and politicians from different countries, all mentioned by name) are lying about the movie, based off the opinion of one Wikipedian (and, for that matter, another one who often comes in to edit war against whatever I insert).
It is specifically registered that reverting in such a case is not a violation of 3rr.

I don't care about the content issues, I care about following process. This is a subject that has been under arbitration before and there has been significant opposition to your edits, PasswordUsername; plus, I looked at the content myself and it is not an egregious BLP violation. There may be problems with it or content issues to be fixed, but these must be dealt with by consensus, not by making massive edits like this and changing 5 different things at once. That is the Wikipedia process. Stop reverting and start making constructive proposals at the talk page for ways to clean up the article, or asking for third opinions or dispute resolution. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs02:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-04T02:37:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-04T02:37:00.000Z-PasswordUsername-2009-09-04T02:31:00.000Z","replies":["c-PasswordUsername-2009-09-04T02:40:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-04T02:37:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

PasswordUsername, I am not part of your content dispute and I do not wish to be part of it. If you want a third opinion, follow one of the many avenues for getting them. Ask other people to comment on the article's talk page. That is the way to deal with these issues. If you are the only person who believes the article's content is libel and everyone else disagrees, then you have no right to be edit warring over it. On the other hand, if the article is so bad, then everyone you ask for a third opinion will come in and agree with you. I'm just a janitor; don't waste my time with this, go to WP:3O or WP:DR or a relevant WikiProject. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs02:43, 4 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-04T02:43:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-04T02:43:00.000Z-PasswordUsername-2009-09-04T02:40:00.000Z","replies":["c-PasswordUsername-2009-09-04T02:48:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-04T02:43:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
You are not part of the dispute, but you are an administrator. Surely, then, you are familiar with WP:LIBEL. I would like you to answer whether you believe that putting up information that five living people are lying about the movie fits the criteria of libelling living people or not.

Because the text in the article backs up these claims with facts about the movie, which I presume can be verified by watching it. Likewise, the article doesn't say "these people are liars", it just disagrees with them or attempts to refute them; disagreement happens all the time in academic discussions. Like I said above, this may be poor writing and it probably is OR and probably is POV, but it is not libel and it does not give you the right to edit war. Now, I see no more reason for you to keep on bothering me here; if you want to be productive, go seek outside opinions through one of the channels I suggested above. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs02:53, 4 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-04T02:53:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-04T02:53:00.000Z-PasswordUsername-2009-09-04T02:48:00.000Z","replies":["c-PasswordUsername-2009-09-04T03:07:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-04T02:53:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
However. Per WP:BLP: "Editors must take particular care adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States and to all of our content policies, especially: Neutral point of view, (NPOV), Verifiability, No original research." And the very subsequent lines say: "Be very firm about the use of high quality references. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." If no claims about living people were made, it would be appropriate to follow through the dispute resolution process, but here 'uncited' - and contentious - claims are being presented. The proper venue for dealing with this is not dispute resolution, but exactly this fundamental policy of WP:BLP: "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

BLP is not limited to biographies either - "This policy applies equally to biographies of living persons and to biographical material about living persons on other pages. The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia rests with the person who adds or restores material, and this is especially true for material regarding living persons. Therefore, an editor should be able to demonstrate that such material complies with all Wikipedia content policies and guidelines."

The problem is that the user who inserted material that all of these claims were false inserted no citation of anyone's paper. "Biographical material" is that which makes claims about people. Or not? (And per WP:BLP: "Criticism and praise of the subject should be represented if it is relevant to the subject's notability and can be sourced to reliable secondary sources, and so long as the material is written in a manner that does not overwhelm the article or appear to take sides; it needs to be presented responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone.")

True, though if I remember correctly, CD reported these figures before Xinhua last time - as Xinhua is the main government news agency rather than a newspaper, I wouldn't expect it to be 'wrong' about it, as such. I have seen the figures repeated here on TIME magazine though that doesn't amount to independent verification. But while I did attribute the figures to CD - if you feel more comfortable with removing the information for now at least, I don't mind.

[22]. This time he didn't even take a short break between his bouts of edit-warring, though now he is self-reverting in order to stay just within the 3RR restriction (fence hugging). This isn't about revenge or anything, it's just that this is a very disruptive edit warrior, on multiple articles, in disputes with multiple users which makes normal editing difficult. I think 3 cases of edit warring within 2 weeks merits more than just a warning, since these appear to be ineffective.radek (talk) 19:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-04T19:50:00.000Z","author":"Radeksz","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Radeksz-2009-09-04T19:50:00.000Z-PasswordUsername_-_here_we_go_again","replies":[],"displayName":"radek"}}-->
Wow! right on the heels of Rjanag's warning that he will block PasswordUsername if he continues to edit war, now he is edit warring on Monument of Lihula:
3rd revert: 18:30, 4 September 2009 (edit summary: "Reasonable? It obviously honors collaboration fighters. See material on dedication and "controversy."")
4th revert: 18:35, 4 September 2009 (edit summary: "WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. Sources don't describe this as "rumours." Obviously some feel that commemoraitng collaborationists is dangerous, so please no POV pushing.")
The guy is clearly out of control, he even mentions my name in the second revert even though I haven't edited that article since November 2007.

A revert doesn't have to involve the same material. You seem to be out of control. You were reported two weeks ago for edit warring multiple articles, but it went unactioned. The after returning from a week long wiki-break you immediately begin edit warring again. Rjanag warned us both, I heeded my warning but now you are edit warring again!

Dude, I pruned a few different aspects of the article, which you claimed as your own defense when I reported you for edit warring a week or two ago (that went unactioned as well; although William M. Connolley expressed the opinion that you should have gotten a good blocking, I didn't pursue it as the behavior temporarily ceased). I self-reverted myself when I realized I'd accidentally passed the 3rr limit anyway, two minutes later - and way before what you're claiming now.

I'm making no blocks for this. Read through my explanation before getting your panties in a bunch, please.
This "report" was filed incorrectly: there are not four reverts here, there are maybe two. The first one is not a "revert", as he wasn't undoing any recent edit I can see; if anything, it was a BOLD change. The second one is an honest-to-goodness revert, ok. In the third one, he didn't restore his own material; it seems to be an attempt at consensus. Maybe a half-hearted attempt, and maybe one that he should have discussed before making, but an attempt nonetheless. The fourth one, like the first, is not a revert of something that came before, it's a bold change. So this is one revert, not four; furthermore, now that I look back on the warnings I gave, I was not clear as to whether I was saying I would block you guys for any new reverts, or only for new reverts at The Soviet Story, so I can't necessarily say that I have the right to block you guys anywhere you go.
Now I have a few messages for each of you. First, PasswordUsername: like Radeksz says, 3RR is not a "right", and stopping just short of 3 reverts over and over again is considered gaming the system; you can be considered edit warring even if you make just one or two reverts, and stopping at 2 over and over again (at different articles, on different days) will make people think you're gaming the system. Particularly, undoing yourself just to avoid being blocked is very poor behavior—that alone could get you blocked, depending on who's watching. You shouldn't have made the first revert I mentioned above; at that point you would have been better off starting a discussion. When in doubt, always start a discussion. To think of it in a more pragmatic way...when you made that revert, I'm sure you knew it wasn't going to stay. You saw you were in the middle of a dispute, did you really think they would all just back off after you reverted? If you know that your revert is not going to last five seconds, don't do it—start a discussion instead, then maybe you'll actually get somewhere.
Next. Martintg: You're not doing yourself or anyone else any favors by labelling your opponents as "out of control" after one revert, or by following me around trying to guilt-trip me into blocking people. Emotions are high enough as it is, what good are you going to do insulting people on purpose? As for this message of mine, which you cite as if it obligates me to block people at your bidding... like I said above, it doesn't. Again, PU's editing at that article probably wasn't perfect, but it's far less bad than you guys are making it out to be, and perhaps if you all didn't try to get at each other's throat over and over again then you guys would be able to get some real editing done instead of spending all your time fighting over 3RR.
Anyway, that's the gist of things. If I had caught PasswordUsername in the act (ie, in the middle of his one revert) today, then I might have blocked him. But that seems to have been several hours before; and the conduct of the lynchmob here only makes me even less motivated to help any of you. You all should stop relying so much on blocks to get your editing done, and try to learn how to discuss things. There are valid points behind both party's edits, and if you knuckleheads would actually talk about things then you could reach a consensus and fix up POV issues and make Wikipedia not have such crappy articles. If no one can be adult enough to discuss these things and have an open mind to other peoples' edits, though, that is never going to happen.
So, to sum up, neither of you is "right" and neither of you is going to get praised for what you've done in this conflict. PasswordUsername, you need make a habit of starting discussions the moment someone reverts you; I would suggest following the 1RR. Martintg, you need to be less hasty to turn things into 3RR reports. If neither of you can have a productive conversation with one another, then you both know ways to invite third-party editors in to evaluate issues.
If any of you disagree with this and still want to pursue a fight, you are welcome to do so—at the appropriate forum. My talkpage is not your personal battleground. In other words, Martinsg, if you feel PasswordUsername should be blocked and you're not satisfied with my message here, you are welcome to file a report at WP:AN3; you can link to the warning I gave before and whoever's at AN3 can decide if it's relevant. But please don't try to blame me for not blocking someone when I wasn't at my computer; you had diffs of warnings and diffs of reverts available, so you didn't have to come to me, and if you really needed him blocked right away then there were 1,600 other administrators you could have talked to. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs22:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-04T22:12:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-04T22:12:00.000Z-Martintg-2009-09-04T20:36:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
It has been long since I haven't edited this article, but I see out of the blue an edit war today on something I fought was happily at peace...
Firstly Rjanag, you can't say "you didn't have to come to me (...) there were 1,600 other administrators you could have talked to". You picked up this dirt, you have to clean it; don't put things on hold, or ask another "janitor" to be contacted, you are not a 1-800 teller. With the mop, expect to smell a lot of s%*t. :) I am really honestly sorry, I do understand how ingrate is this.
Secondly, IMHO, the first edit is not technically a revert; Rjanag is right. The second and third are. The forth edit shows confrontations at the same article, but is self-reverted by the fifth edit. So if we pretend, 4th and 5th didn't exist, there are 2 reverts. But, in regard to 4th and 5th, I agree with Rjanag that undoing oneself to avoid being blamed for policy braking is an attempt to game the system. IMHO it is Rjanag's sovereign call. He decided to warn PasswordUsername but take no further action if such behavior is not repeated; and I personally believe that was a smart thing to do. All in all, imho, Rjanag technical statements were correct, except that the 3rd edit should be also counted as revert. Allow me please to explain why:
The 3rd edit was to remove "who fought for Estonia" from "Monument of Lihula is a monument commemorating the Estonians who fought for Estonia in World War II", rendering "Monument of Lihula is a monument commemorating the Estonians in World War II". For everyone who read the article (which is expected from all editors), it is clear that this edit changes the sense 180 degrees. This was a clear sign of confrontation. 3rd edit just like the 2nd tried to change the same sentence to render its sense as opposite. It came only 15 minutes after the 2nd, and 4 minutes after the 2nd was reverted. Content-wise, one can just as well call 2nd a compromise for the 3rd: none of them is more moderate. What however seals my personal conclusion that the 3rd was a revert are the edit summaries:
3rd edit: "Reasonable? It obviously honors collaboration fighters. See material on dedication and "controversy."" (ad hominem)
These are typical "I challenge you".
I can't but notice after this also the comment to the forth edit: "Obviously some feel that commemoraitng collaborationists is dangerous" and that the main point of the 4th edit was not in the text but in the title of the section (adding "concerns of anti-Semitism"). Read "I challenge you." again.
So, from my understanding, there were 3 reverts with the 3rd immediately self-undone.
Thirdly, the people who reverted PasswordUsername did well to make only "dry" edit summaries. But you should have reported the case also in a "dry" manner, without trying to "get to" PasswordUsername. IMHO, you undermined your case by crying fault too laud, making the impression that you are after an editor and not after quality of WP content. Anyway, it was Rjanag's call. He will have to clean this up in the days to come if it re-emerges, hence he is sovereign to take decisions according to his best judgement.

This is really beating a dead horse, but I'm just curious as to understanding your post. 1. How is "Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union" a "play on the sense of 'occupation'"? 2. How was edit summary "Reasonable? It obviously honors collaboration fighters..." (ie, my question as to whether my attempt at compromise according to article content was reasonable enough) an ad hominem (ie, a personal attack on somebody)?

Could I ask you to please keep an eye on the above article? About once (sometimes twice) a day, an IP editor comes and posts a bunch of biased stuff which either does not correspond to the source, or is not supported by a reliable source. Occasionally, it is a WP:Coatrack about the CV of Mr Shek. I have reverted most of the edits, leaving edit summaries accordingly. It is becoming troublesome because there is a political battle going on in Hong Kong over this college, and I feel that what the IP editor is doing amounts to POV-pushing.

I can do that, but is it necessary? It looks like it has been at the current title for at least a couple weeks, and there's a hatnote explaining the redirect. While this is obviously the biggest and most 'primary' Suzhou, there are still lots of others, so I can see some value in having the current title even if it is the primary topic. Having the big "Jiangsu" in the page title will help be an extra safeguard against readers looking for some other Suzhou and reading this article instead; the hatnote should be enough to guide them, but sometimes readers are stupid or inattentive, so this title would be an extra notification. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs20:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-06T20:19:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-06T20:19:00.000Z-Colipon-2009-09-06T20:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Colipon-2009-09-06T20:27:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-06T20:19:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

I have several reasons for this move:
All other languages WP seem to have "Suzhou" as the de facto standard.
Search on google reveals that "Suzhou" almost yields no results for all other uses.
The move had no discussion, no consensus, etc. so this discussion shouldn't even be happening.
I hope that is sufficient.

Well, I have an issue with another admin Dbachmann. You see, he has "permanent" locked certain pages that the reason is just to put the template which is linked with those pages. The pages are Nairi, Hayasa, and Urartu (as you see Armens has the template which is next to those, and they all had the template for atleast 2-3 years prior to keep removing them and perm locking). These links are in Template:History of Armenia, and this is not a reason to perm lock these pages which he has done for those reasons. He will probably tell you there is other edits done too for perm lock, but nothing much, we are only trying to add back the template linked to the pages. Can you help out now as an admin on this issue? Thank you I appreciate it.

Believe me, one of my friends has tried that already in Talk pages, but this admin seems to be different. He seems to think that everything is nationalism. My friend even gave examples of Chinese history, and that Armenian history has evidence and facts that its almost as old as Chinese history as a modern people. This is very important, it seems to be a political issue, because there should be no reason to remove and "perm lock" pages just cause of simple template adding which was always there and linked with those pages on the template?

It would be nice if we could get an admin to move the page back to "Cantonese" and then if we want to discuss we can do so there.

Following you around? I came here via Biophys's talk page after seeing his block and found Offliner's message. My question was a reasonable question, your response appears to be rather odd. Where did this notion of "trying to dig up more and more reasons to attack your little enemy" come from? I don't believe we have interacted before PU's report, and we have not interacted since until today, so what justification do you have in assuming bad faith in my motives?

Hi! Wang was born and raised in the US. There is no question that he is American. Given Taiwan's nationality rules, he is probably also a citizen of Taiwan ROC through his parents. Calling him American-born Taiwanese implies that he was only born in the US, perhaps while his parents were living here briefly or something. Look to Yo-Yo Ma's page. He is a French-born American. He was born in France, but is not a French citizen. Wang is an American and a Taiwanese (most probably). Therefore Taiwanese-American captures both of his dual nationality.

You can suggest this at Talk:Leehom Wang; there are many editors who watch this page and are concerned with these nationality issues, so it needs to be discussed before changes are made.

Actually, this has been discussed for a while, going back to 2006, in fact. The consensus is pretty much that he is an American (this is documented and not really something that can be disputed). The real point of contention in the past was whether his ethnicity should be described as Taiwanese or Chinese. That's one of those contentious issues that probably should not appear in the lead sentence unless someone has a source where Wang describes a preference in describing his ethnicity.

I'm in the opinion that we should not speculate. There is no question that he is an American, but we can only speculate whether or not Leehom (and/or his parents) possesses ROC citizenship. In my opinion, his parents can be considered Taiwanese Americans but not for Leehom. I prefer leaving the lead saying he is an American who gained fame in Taiwan because this is the definite fact, and he never actually grew up on the island.

Actually, I believe Arsonal was saying that your proposal was speculation—anything suggesting Wang has Taiwanese citizenship is. But note that in the article, "Taiwanese" links to Taiwanese people: it doesn't say anything about citizenship, it's about ethnicity, culture, etc. Thus, there is no speculation in "American-born Taiwanese". If it makes a difference, this could also be worded "American of Taiwanese descent", which says the same thing.

"American of Taiwanese descent" is definitely an improvement, although I generally prefer "ancestry" rather than "descent" because "descent" sounds like you're going downhill.
It is common amoung immigrants from Taiwan to refer to their children as "American-born Taiwanese" or "American-born Chinese" depending on their political persuasion, but the term is considered offensive by many of those children and by many Americans in general. "Taiwanese American" is often used with far fewer people considering it offensive. I don't know of anyone who would be offended by "American of Taiwanese ancestry". I'll post this on the discussion page too. However, from what I'm reading on the talk page and in the article, is ancestors are really from China, only making brief stop in Taiwan. If that is correct, then "American of Chinese ancestry" would be ok. Whether that or some other phrase should be found would depend I think on how closely his parents identified with Taiwan.

That's a good point; maybe the best way would be something along the lines of "American singer of Chinese descent, who is active in Taiwan" or something like that. I think it's important to specify his "base" (where he lives, works, etc.), as well as his original nationality and ancestry. Because, let's face it, even though he's technically American, everyone thinks of him as Taiwanese first and foremost—that's where his identity and (in WP terms) his notability are. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs23:19, 3 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-03T23:19:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-03T23:19:00.000Z-Readin-2009-09-03T23:15:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
No I didn't see this discussion.
I don't have a problem with the current wording "American of Chinese ancestry" as it is undoubtedly true (almost all Taiwanese have Chinese ancestry). I would not be surprised, however, if some see it as a slight to Taiwan. We can deal with that delicate subject when it comes up.

Hi there, just to let you know I sent an email to Kathleen Ahrens:
Along with other contributors, I have been working on the Wikipedia article Chinese classifier. The article is relatively developed, and cites one of your papers. May I ask you to review the page? Any comments you may have will be gratefully received.
And she replied:
Thanks for your e-mail. I'm in the middles of something else right now, but I will turn my attention to classifiers for some other projects before the end of the year and I will go over your article then. Does that sound alright?
And I replied back saying that was great. I might be busy after university starts so I'll refer to you all her comments. Is that OK?

Nope, I don't know her personally... I'm a student mathematician, not a linguist! (Actually, I emailed her only because she was the first academic cited in the references.) It's thanks to the internet that academia interacts much easier, and I bet I would get positive replies to half my emails if I were to send an email to every academic cited in the Chinese classifier article. (I find it also helps to have a @cam.ac.uk email address.)

the page that i put in as a footnote calls it a vma. also i im reading that the real name of the award is the mtv vma best breakout nyc artist. the footnote calls it a vma and the entry form calls it a vma. thats big. mtv always has had some different awards that start on different years. this is like baseball having a rookie of the year award for the first time when they started. of course the rookie was not as famous as the mvp. but it was still major league baseball giving an award. here it is mtv giving out an award they call a mtv vma for a new band. but its a vma from what i am reading.--Applegigs (talk) 06:20, 14 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-14T06:20:00.000Z","author":"Applegigs","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Applegigs-2009-09-14T06:20:00.000Z-question","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-09-14T06:25:00.000Z-Applegigs-2009-09-14T06:20:00.000Z"]}}-->

hi. did i miss something? i tried to say that it is clearly a mtv vma, that the mtv contest says it is, that the other material i gave you says it is, and that the mtv logo says it is. there is some official stuff there. i think that that information is pretty strong. i dont think mtv uses the mtv vma logo with something and calls it a vma and awards it at the vmas without it being an mtv vma. as to the website, who knows. maybe someone screwed up and will be fired. maybe they used last years template by accident. but that doesnt wipe out everything else. we have official statements that it is an mtv vma from mtv. isnt that enough?--Applegigs (talk) 06:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-14T06:52:00.000Z","author":"Applegigs","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Applegigs-2009-09-14T06:52:00.000Z-question","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-09-14T06:53:00.000Z-Applegigs-2009-09-14T06:52:00.000Z"]}}-->
Only press releases. Press releases are meaningless as far as notability is concerned; these awards haven't been the subject of reliable, independent coverage.

As to your deletion of the reference to an MTV VMA nomination at [26], I'm OK with it for the moment but not for the reason that you state. You refer to it as "a minor award." That is a mischaracterization. The MTV VMAs are in fact decidedly major awards. This is clearly an MTV VMA, as you can see at [27] and [28]. As such, it is a major award. And, as WP:BAND makes clear, for purposed of notability since the band placed (top 3, of 190 under consideration) it is treated the same for notablity puposes under that guidance as it would have been treated if it had won the VMA.--VMAsNYC (talk) 04:38, 16 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-16T04:38:00.000Z","author":"VMAsNYC","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-VMAsNYC-2009-09-16T04:38:00.000Z-MTV_VMAs_are_major_awards","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-09-16T04:41:00.000Z-VMAsNYC-2009-09-16T04:38:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hey Rjanag, as I made a category of reboots in television and video games I thought it be different like sequels and prequels. Reboot is all about starting over the story creating something new which is not a sequel or a remake or a prequel, it's just something what hollywood studios did with films like Batman Begins, Superman Returns and Casino Royale. Semi-prequel are serve as both a sequel and a prequel with flash backs and flash forwards that what they did with The Godfather, part 2 and Internal Affairs 3. --Lg16spears (talk) 18:17, 16 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-16T18:17:00.000Z","author":"Lg16spears","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Lg16spears-2009-09-16T18:17:00.000Z-All_About_The_Reboot","replies":[]}}-->

You responded to a request on a different board that evidently would have involved blocking a different user. Let me take a moment to try and explain the situation in a place and way that is perhaps more appropriate?
I have been waiting for corroboration of a Request for Comment during the past 3 weeks! The instructions on the Request for Comment page say not to post to another noticeboard, and that if requirements are not met, the Request is deleted in approximately 48 hours. However, the page has not been deleted through 3 weeks, and is the main reason for my delay in seeking help elsewhere.
The user inquietudeofcharacter repeatedly erred when posting on my new talk page to allege vandalism. It was his or her response to good faith editing, which happened to be pursuant to 44 short-term revisions by the other party.
After the other user refused to follow through with mediation, the mediator did not make any contributions to this web site for 3 weeks or so. During all of this time, I have been seeking help from our former mediator. Two persons are needed for a request for comment, but there has been no activity from him, and I did not try to involve anyone else in this matter.
To summarize: the good faith edits I have made are still erased, and the only way to restore the information would be through "edit warring." Nothing has been done to warrant the allegations on my talk page, thus a direct dialogue with the other user is being avoided. Hopefully you can be helpful toward me with this matter, because the interactions thus far have not been worthwhile.

As far as I can tell, he only gave you one vandalism warning; maybe it was inappropriate because some of the issues were content disagreements, but he is correct that at least one of your edits broke the link to a reference (here, further down, where you added a period in "Suppo.rt"—that would have caused the URL not to work). It looks to me like his second message to you was an attempt to explain what the issues are so that you can understand why your edits were removed and hopefully then you two can find a compromise. I don't consider that message an "allegation", and in any case Wikipedia is not a court of law.
"A direct dialogue with the other user is being avoided" won't help the matter. He made an effort to leave a message with you; you should do the same. Nothing will improve if you're not willing to talk about the real content issues and are only willing to go to noticeboards and seek blocks.
I still see no need for administrator intervention here.

And in any case, the edit warring noticeboard was certainly not the right place to go looking for input about a disagreement that happened 2 months ago. If you want to get other editors to comment, try listing a request at Wikipedia:Third opinion or WP:WikiProject Colleges or WP:WikiProject Boston; those are more appropriate (But please note: do not list a request there until you have actually started having a discussion at the Boston College page or on Inquietude's talk page; if you list a request when there is no discussion underway, it won't do any good). The edit warring noticeboard is only used for seeking blocks for people who are being disruptive right now. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs19:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-20T19:30:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-20T19:30:00.000Z-WayGoneOr-2009-09-20T19:21:00.000Z","replies":["c-WayGoneOr-2009-09-20T20:18:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-20T19:30:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Your quick response is appreciated!
To his credit, as you point out, something happened with the touchpad on my netbook to inadvertently put a '.' someplace where it should not be.
Evidently, you overlooked the "Welcome Notice" that inquietude posted on my talk page? It begins "...welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies...vandalism..."
Serious problems with what he was doing have only been partially corrected. There is relevant, newly supported information, about the university being the first established in Boston. It has long been part of the article, as lucidly explained on the talk page, prior to the other user's advent. Again, he has refused to discuss this via mediation, and continued to (poorly) revise the article while mediating.
Maybe there is some way I can address other aspects of the matter through the Wikipedia:Third opinion link that you provide? Initially, I made a contribution to an entry on inquietude's page regarding the article, started by someone else, but it is archived now. The Request for Comment [29] still appears to only need another party's 'corroboration.'
If you have any other suggestion(s), I may feel quite capable of contributing.

I believe User:Alefbe does not deserve to get blocked. He was actually correcting vandalism by the other user, who was deleting sourced information, substituing reliable source by poor and unreliable sources, e.g Press TV, the propaganda machine of Islamic Republic of Iran.

As far as I know, deleting sourced information is vandalism. Is n't? He insisted to delete sourced information from New York Times, reliable books, and Aljazira, despite several warning by different users. Is not it vandalism? That incident was not content dispute. One user deleted sourced information added, unsourced information or poorly sourced materials. The other one resorted those sourced information and had constructive edits. They should not be treated the same way.

When there is clearly a content dispute, you should talk things out at the talk page; just because your opponents are blocked doesn't mean you have free leeway to continue the edit war now. If things continue I'll have no choice but to protect the other page.
And no, removing sourced information isn't vandalism if the user honestly believes that information doesn't belong.

Thanks for the ANI notification. I believe it's clear to anyone uninvolved what's going on, so I don't plan to get too involved. I have written on science, sex, and gender off-wiki for about 15 years, and it is a very controversial area. It has more than its share of fringe theorists who create and promulgate bogus diseases and "theories" like this all the time (everything from iatrogenic artifact by "experts" to populist disease movements). These people get very agitated when their notions are challenged and will do anything in their power to fight their perceived "enemies." Unfortunately, many come here and disrupt Wikipedia, often culminating in a permanent block. I'm traveling to speak on this topic at a university later this week, so I'll probably just let this matter run its course without much more involvement. I appreciate your help on this.

A defining moment in our history: Examining disease models of gender identity. Gender Medicine. 3:56 ISSN:15508579. You can confirm in Google Scholar. I have it free online as PDF and Full text. If you determine that the removal was unwarranted, I'd appreciate if you could add the citation back. Thanks!

I think you're fine; this seems to be your first edit in this dispute anyway. But probably be careful about reverting again if this goes on (because I've already decided that I'm going to block people who revert again, now that I've issued warnings).
This new section seems like something that's going to need to be written in userspace or a subpage and then approved before going into the article.

Hi,
Since you intervened last time I thought maybe you could help again. It seems that Arzel and Soxwon are still doing the same as before. I just undid an edit by Arzel that he deleted someone’s comments in the TALK page under the guise it was a personal attack yet it did not have anybody’s name in it and was a statement of replay to Soxwon. Both of them seem to be bent of editing out anything that goes against their beliefs and their bias shows up in many articles. They have even written to each other about removing negative items from conservative articles. They don’t try and work on a way to get things edited fairly they just keep deleting them and not offering any help on it. Then if added they say there is not agreement as they will not even try to form a agreement.
Any help in this would be appreciated. --Marlin1975 (talk) 15:19, 24 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-24T15:19:00.000Z","author":"Marlin1975","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Marlin1975-2009-09-24T15:19:00.000Z-Fox_News_Channel","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-09-24T15:23:00.000Z-Marlin1975-2009-09-24T15:19:00.000Z"]}}-->
I looked at the history and I see that neither of them has edited the article since I warned them two days ago. I don't see what the problem is now?

Marlin, the comment that was deleted (and that I removed) WAS a personal attack, considering it implied that I was delusional. If you are referring to my McDonnell edit (my lone edit to the article) then perhaps my idea of WP:BLP and WP:IINFO is different than yours. I'd like to see the collusion I had with Arzel, considering all I did was ask him to round up editors from a previous discussion.

Marlin, I suggest you read up on WP:FORUM.

Hello Rjanag. Since you handled a 3RR case about Flegelpuss(talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log) perhaps you could look at the report over at WT:WikiProject Physics#Poincaré-POV-pushing. I was thinking of blocking Cardinality and Iphegenia as socks of Flegelpuss, but that I would ask at least one other admin to look at the data and see if you agree. If you don't have time, I'll make another plan. Both accounts were created just after Flegelpuss's block expired and they have remarkably narrow interests, focused on F's usual topics.

It looks like there's probably a connection, I trust your judgment. I'm not really familiar with Flegelpuss other than that brief AN3 report, so I don't have a very good idea what his style is.

It looks like it will be more appropriate to protect the article, since several people are reverting one another and there is also talkpage discussion going on—and I can't easily see any clear consensus there. But if you can provide me with a) diffs of Paradoxic's reverts today and diffs of the specific edits that he was undoing; b) a link to some part of the talk page that shows a clear consensus between more editors than just you and Alefbe , then that would help things along. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs18:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-22T18:24:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-22T18:24:00.000Z-WIMYV-2009-09-22T18:15:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Rjanag! You participated in discussion on 2009 protest section. I should not remind you all we did. First, I said that Press Tv information should be deleted because Press TV is unreliable source. Nableezy disagreed. ShamWOW suggested both independent sources and Press TV should stay but it should be mentioned that Press TV is an state funded news media. Nableezy did not agreed, until you intervened and said that it is OK to mention that Press TV is funded by the regime. You forget that? We decided to keep both arguments, pro-government media and independent sources arguments.
The Paradoxic violated 3rr once again, because the last time you did not blocked him for the violation of 3rr, you give him more co0nfidence to violate the 3rr rule. Yu should punish him this time.

I left one comment in that section, that doesn't mean I'm totally aware of what the decisions are over the whole talkpage. Keep in mind that this is a long a complicated dispute and someone just showing up now won't necessary know all the history of what has been discussed before. The reason I couldn't tell how bad Paradoxic's edits were is that in each of the reverts there are some things he changed every time (such as the "millions" statement) and others that he appeared to be tweaking per other editor's comments. In article editing it's natural for their to be some back-and-forth editing that gradually approaches consensus, and without you giving me more information about the reverts it was very difficult for me to tell where that kind of acceptable editing/tweaking ended and where unacceptable edit-warring began. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs21:50, 22 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-22T21:50:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-22T21:50:00.000Z-WIMYV-2009-09-22T21:19:00.000Z","replies":["c-Nableezy-2009-09-22T22:02:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-22T21:50:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
I dont really care about this issue. I said that I felt that adding state funded was unnecessary and why, that is not supported by the rest of the users so I didnt remove it after it was reverted back in. I just dont want people removing things from Press TV. The rest of this is fighting over things that shouldnt even be in the article per WP:NOTNEWS and the fact that it is overly focused on this years rally when the even goes back 30 years. Besides that I dont really care about the pro vs anti Iranian government bickering on the page. I think there have been a few users edit warring with each other, and that one "side" has more than 1 user reverting does not make that "side" not edit warring. nableezy - 22:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-22T22:02:00.000Z","author":"Nableezy","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Nableezy-2009-09-22T22:02:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-22T21:50:00.000Z","replies":["c-ShamWow-2009-09-22T22:32:00.000Z-Nableezy-2009-09-22T22:02:00.000Z"]}}-->
Yes, Press TV should be included. I believe it is necessary that state-funded or something like it be included due to the more questionable nature of its reporting. However, that should not be the issue that is preventing further editing on the article. And I agree that the article is skewed in its coverage of 2009 Quds Day but the protests on that occasion are quite unique in the history of that event. Finding a history of Quds Days since 1979 is not readily available. In general, users here need to be more discriminating in not indiscriminately deleting or adding large swathes of information. And please--be meticulous in your editing (grammar, referencing, etc.) so the article does not need to be consistently cleaned up.ShamWow (talk) 22:32, 22 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-22T22:32:00.000Z","author":"ShamWow","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-ShamWow-2009-09-22T22:32:00.000Z-Nableezy-2009-09-22T22:02:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Fine, however I feel that since she has already been referred to on a Wikipedia article, she deserves to have her own page. I'm not sure exactly how one can go about writing an article without your conflict of interest policy kicking in - I merely saw the reference, mentione dit to her, and she said "well, just write who I am". Conflict of interest to me would be stating how I feel about her as a person and teacher, not how many roles she has performed and where. But I understand that you are simply following rules.

I've tried to start a discussion again at Talk:Borjigit, Empress Dowager Zhuang Wen to move this senseless name back to Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. So far no one seems to be interested in participating. When it was moved to the current name, there was no attempts at consensus. "ED Xiaozhuang" is the name she is most commonly referred to, a Google-test for "Xiaozhuang" trumps all other alternative names, it is easy to find, and precise, as well as concise, fitting all the criteria of WP:TITLE. I therefore ask an administrator to help me move the article there over the re-direct. Thanks!

The edit looks fine to me (and I see you self-reverted already). Korean is the language, Hangul is the script in which it's written; some people seem to prefer saying "Hangul: bla bla bla" but I think "Korean: bla bla bla" makes much more sense, since what we're actually giving is a Korean word that happens to be written in Hangul, not a "Hangul" word. (It would be like giving English translations as "Latin alphabet: bla bla bla".)

How many times, Izzedine, have you been told to address your own actions, not others'? You are only responsible for what you yourself are doing. Other peoples' edit-warring doesn't give you permission to edit war as well; if you edit war, you can be blocked regardless of what the others are doing.

I don't actually like to watch the insane panics when people get inordinately upset at changes that verge on politics, so I kinda want to ask "did you mean it?". Your change of templates had the (unintended?) effect of reordering the traditional/simplified presentations in Standard_Mandarin#Native_names. It was simp/trad, and now is trad/simp, and possibly because you explicitly said to put traditional first (I'm guessing at what "|first=t|" means).
I really wouldn't be surprised if someone starts saying "but it says mainland China first and you have traditional first - you have messed up things!"
I'm not going to check around where else something like this might've happened, because I'm already nervous.

Sorry, that was my mistake; I didn't mean to add first=t there, it was an unintentional reorganization. In actuality, I'm trying my best to avoid reorganization.
In some articles (ie, Taiwan- and Hong Kong-related ones), it's more appropriate to have trad. characters first, and that was reflected in the templates used there (for instance, templates like zh-tscyp or whatever put the traditional first automatically), so when I replaced them I added |first=t to make sure they wouldn't get reorganized. It looks like this time I accidentally included |first=t when I shouldn't; seems that {{zh-tspl}}, which I was replacing, is deceptive (it has t first in its name, but it actually shows simplified first). When I remember AWBing that last night, the pages that transcluded it were a mix of mainland and Taiwan-related topics (there were 50-some ROC baseball players in there, for example), and on several articles I was manually going in and removing the |first=t before AWB put it in; must have just missed a few on this article.

Hi, Rjanag, since you're an active admin, please look into the disruptions carried by 95.25.237.61(talk·message·contribs·page moves·edit summaries·count·api·logs·block log·email)? The IP user has changed the names of Korean athletic players during the Japanese occupation period to Japanese name.[41] As if they were still holding Japanese name and citizenship after the liberation in 1945. The IP user has also added information without sources, but deleted something that he dislikes for his POV in the name of "no citation" and "NPOV". The anon's edits are of course neutral to himself/herself only. I think the person reminds me of some Russian POV pusher or open proxy editor disguising a third person.

There is no copyright infringement. Some of the text is the same as Mr. Copeland wrote it. As can be seen on the referenced web page, Mr. Copeland is part of that organization.
The text appears on several other sites by Mr. Copeland as well. This does not make it copyright infringement.
What was the rationale to take it down?
No message was sent indicating that the page was deleted due a copyright concern as is supposed to occur.
The failure to send you a message regarding the deletion is not my issue; that would have been the responsibility of User:Jpeeling, the editor who originally tagged the article for deletion. Normally the editor who tags an article also leaves a message informing the creator.
As for the copyright issues... well, first of all, whether or not Copeland wrote that text is irrelevant unless you are Copeland. To be able to post copyrighted text and claim you have the right, you need to prove that you are the person who owns that text; that is generally done by contacting Wikipedia's OTRS e-mail team through Wikipedia:Contact us/Permit. That being said, even if you do own the copyright to that text, there are several reasons not to restore the article:
Writing quality: even if you wrote text somewhere else, Wikipedia is its own source and should have its own writing. Directly copying-and-pasting text from elsewhere, even when it's not outright copyright violation, is often plagiarism, and is almost always lazy writing. It reflects poorly on the encyclopedia (when people find an article here and see that it's copied from elsewhere—they don't generally know the copyright background and will assume Wikipedia is full of plagiarism). If you really want to start an article about Copeland, you should do so in your own words.
Notability concerns and conflict of interest. If you are Mr. Copeland and hold the copyright to this text, then you are in a conflict of interest. Wikipedia guidelines (linked just above) strongly discourage writing articles about yourself, as it will be just about impossible to write from a neutral point of view. Also, the article needs to demonstrate why the individual meets Wikipedia's notability policy, which text copied from other websites usually does not do.

Hello, I believe you will find the updated document allays any concerns you may have had. Thank you.
Hi
The article on unima-usa was my first attempt at wikipedia article
Unima is listed in wikepedia
there is the standard wikipedia note saying that no article exists on unima-usa
It was my understanding that" Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name" is justification for creating an article
unima united kingdom and unima Pakistan have articles
I am new to this
how can i get an article on unima-usa added?

Userfied to User:Clayoquot/Raptor Education Group Inc. for now; it is borderline copyvio (clear plagiarism, but only borderline copyvio), so I'll probably re-delete it after you've had a chance to look at it.

Thanks! To be honest, I don't see the copyvio here. It seems that an effort has been made to change wordings. Notability is questionable, and neither of the cited references establishes notability. One of them is a broken link and the other one is not independent. But if these people have been doing good work for 19 years, I think there's a reasonable chance that someone could find sources somewhere. I'd take it to AfD if I were you, even if only to have the community take responsibility for the deletion rather than shouldering it all yourself. Just a thought.

Well, the entire text of http://www.raptoreducationgroup.org/What_REGI_Is.cfm is present there; a few words and sentences are added here and there, but the website is copied in its entirety. And, as I always say when performing speedy deletions, an article like this is obvious plagiarism even if it's not certainly copyvio (like I said above, the copyvio here is borderline, and the plagiarism certain). If you think the subject is noteworthy, you're welcome to recreate the article without copyvio, or just as a stub; there's not really any reason for me to take it to AfD now since it's already deleted. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs05:33, 25 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-25T05:33:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-25T05:33:00.000Z-Clayoquot-2009-09-25T05:26:00.000Z","replies":["c-Clayoquot-2009-09-25T05:47:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-25T05:33:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
The organization's mission statement should be in quotation marks and attributed, but with these I'm pretty sure it could be included verbatim as fair use. The part about it permits is also the kind of thing that should not be rephrased, because any rephrasing would make it less accurate. Anyway, just sharing my opinions. Thanks for chatting.

I agree with Clayoquot: this does not look like a copyvio, nor suitable for an A7 deletion. By volume of animals treated alone it is a significant animal rehabilitation center; and it was better sourced than many articles we choose to keep. When someone questions a speedy deletion, and an author or interested party is obviously distressed by said deletion, those are two reasons to take it to AfD. Having one's work deleted, whatever the cause, is often grounds to leave Wikipedia and not return; and we would like to attract contributors (who will become better contributors in time, and never start out perfectly) rather than animosity.
As you suggest above, I've recreated the article. +sj+05:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-26T05:11:00.000Z","author":"Sj","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Sj-2009-09-26T05:11:00.000Z-Raptor_Education_Group","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-09-26T13:13:00.000Z-Sj-2009-09-26T05:11:00.000Z","c-Rjanag-2009-09-26T13:34:00.000Z-Sj-2009-09-26T05:11:00.000Z"],"displayName":"+sj"}}-->
You think it's not copyvio, and yet it's full of sentences literally copied and pasted from http://www.raptoreducationgroup.org/What_REGI_Is.cfm ? I suggested recreating it as a stub, not recreating it as plagiarism. Like it says on my userpage: you're never going to get me to apologize for deleting plagiarized junk, it's not something we need on Wikipedia.
I see no need to take it to AfD now because I've tried to clean up the copied-and-pasted sentences and I don't really care about the notability concern.

And as for your argument about user retention... maybe you could check the article history before making arguments like this. The article was created a year ago, so the editor has either moved on from now or already learned his lesson. In this case, the editor had been gone for two weeks and was not likely to be back anytime soon, so you can't expect me to 'work with' an absent editor to clean up plagiarism. And are you saying that user retention is so important we should leave plagiarism in the encyclopedia, just on the gamble that that user might turn into a productive editor someday (keeping in mind that the vast majority of new accounts here do not become productive)? rʨanaɢtalk/contribs13:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-26T13:34:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-26T13:34:00.000Z-Sj-2009-09-26T05:11:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Our discourse seems to be going in two different paths. I do not disagree with your analysis of the plot nor the revisions that you provided. In that regard, I made a rudimentary edit to show that the syntax and "word styling" was merely "wordsmithing" which is entirely an author's choice (a publisher's term for allowance of individual styles of expression). What was most at issue was not the revisions but the manner in which they were being described as correcting some "drivel" which can be difficult to construe in anything other than let's say, uncomplimentary.

The "Cadillac of the Skies" was the subject of numerous research efforts as to ethonology. Reviewing contemporary sources and every authoritative reference on the P-51 Mustang has led to the conclusion that there is no World War II origin for the word. All this revolves around the dreaded WP:OR and has led to lively discussions with P-51 pilots, museum curators and historians, none of which can provide substantiation for the phrase, while I can point directly to Ballard's use of the literary device. He was crudely trying to assert the industrial iconography of the Cadillac to the equally redoubtable fighter aircraft. I consider it a crude device as the GM Company was indeed involved in war production, but ironically, the Packard Company produced the RR Merlin engine used in the P-51. In Ballard's elaborate "connections to home", Jim wanders a scrapyard in China to discover his father's Packard sedan. Regardless, there is no source that can identify the catchword as wartime in origin. FWiW, the use of the term "Mandarin lettering" was an unfortunate use of the verbatim terminology in the original source document. Bzuk (talk) 14:42, 26 September 2009 (UTC).Now, don't over-react on the term, it was what the text used, and after your edit, I retrieved the magazine article and checked the source to see if they had used the word "Mandarin" which it had.

The "Cadillac of the Skies" reference has gone the way of the "Billy the Kid/William Bonney" conundrum in that when the legend reads, sounds, looks better than the truth, go with the epic story. I totally embarrassed myself this summer at an air show when the announcer proclaimed the next attraction would be the "Cadillac of the skies", and consequently, a brace of P-51 Mustangs took to the air. I sought him out after the event and asked if he could identify the source of the statement. Not only was he a P-51 Mustang pilot and owner, he was a highly regarded member of the warbird community and basically treated me like the twit I am. He carefully enunciated that he knew that the phrase was from a movie, but who cares, everyone now links it to the P-51, and you know what we old fighter guys think of you know-it-alls? (He didn't actually express the last exchange, but I KNOW he was thinking that!) FWiW, the actual phrase used by Ballard was "Cadillac of air combat" (p. 151) while the screenplay converts that to a number of comments, using the phraseology of "Cadillac of the skies".

I have to admit that I am actually enjoying this back-and-forth, as I had placed the edit comment in a kind of snobbish, "so there" kind of way, firmly believing that your original statements were out of the line (which I still believe...) but your recourse to reasoned, articulate discourse has completely disarmed me. As to attribution to a source that I authored, that may be problematic. As a historian (yes, you have to be officially recognized as such in Canada), with nine books and 13 films in my resume, my research on the P-51 Mustang can be traced to a meager two articles for publication and neither dealt with the origins of the type except in a perfunctory way.

I will keep that in mind. I can take it from the usual vandals and other such people but when I hear it from administrators who I tend to see as being more mature and responsible, it just makes me a little more irritated.

There was an Arbcom ruling not to mass de-link any dates for six months unless community consensus rule otherwise. Community consensus has. There are some 60,000 linked ISO dates, de-linking them is non-controversial, but I have only done a very small percentage. It needs to be handed to a bot - and there is one in preparation I understand. However I might be able to pick-up some of the workload on SmackBot's normal runs.

Hm, well I de-link stuff as I go. WP:MOSNUM is now clear that dates should not be linked for auto-formatting purposes. However there may still be a number of people who are protective of certain links, therefore a little caution may be necessary.

Hello, just a notification, I am considering fulfilling the unblock request by User:Matthead. There's merit in his unblock request: he could reasonably assume that the 1RR restriction on Eastern Europe does not apply to West Germany (there is in fact no possible sense West Germany is part of Eastern Europe, neither geographically nor politically, and the edit he was making was also not related to any political/historical issue related to Eastern Europe). So the situation needs to be judged independently of the restriction, with all participants on equal footing. And then I notice that User:Jacurek made three reverts and wasn't blocked, while Matthead was blocked for two. This makes the block essentially unjust. This is particularly important because we know Jacurek was part of the infamous EE Mailing List and Matthead was one of their declared "enemies" and victims, so we must avoid doing anything that would give the impression of "rewarding" any further provocations and attempts of getting opponents blocked from that side. (See Jacurek's edit [43] earlier on this page, where he was falsely claiming M. was under a general edit restriction in order to get you to block him – given what we know about the background, I would not assume good faith for this false information.)

It was false because the 1RR restriction applies only to Eastern European topics and therefore doesn't cover this article. And if you continue lobbying about this, I will block you.

@Fut.Perf.: You are welcome to unblock Matthead if you think it appropriate (Actually, I see you have done so); I have not because, even if this article was not covered by his sanction (keeping in mind that something does not have to be geographically within Eastern Europe to be an Eastern Europe-related topic), edit warring is still a violation and he knew he was doing it—plus, if he thinks that the fact that he can make an argument that this article is not part of his sanctions means he's "entitled" to 3 reverts on it, then he's gaming the system anyway. For what it's worth, I also warned Jacurek about edit warring a few days ago. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs13:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-09-29T13:29:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-09-29T13:29:00.000Z-Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise-2009-09-29T05:59:00.000Z","replies":["c-Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise-2009-09-29T14:10:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-09-29T13:29:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Well, I guess we can agree to (slightly) disagree on the evaluation of the 2 (not 3) reverts – if we went by that logic, we could block anybody who ever did two reverts on an article and, if they protested, blame them for gaming the system. BTW, I have also counseled him to let the infobox stand. Sorry for taking action before awaiting your response, but it looked like you had gone offline and probably gone to sleep shortly before I first contacted you, and I didn't want to keep him waiting yet longer.

Non, ce n'est pas un jour férié, mais un jour de travail scolaire dédié a refléchir et faire des activités pour prendre conscience des valeurs de la fraternité universelle, de la non-violence et de la paix. Voilà un article en anglais que j'ai trouvé:School Day of Non-violence and Peace (DENIP)
By Harold J. Greenberg
(Majorca Daily Bulletin, Palma de Mallorca, January, 18, 1990)
The "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" is held on January 30 every year, on the anniversary of the martyrdom in 1948 of Mahatma Gandhi, the great apostle of non-violence.
It will be celebrated, as always, in Majorca. The intiative for this "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" originated in Spain.
In Majorca, it was Llorenç Vidal in 1964 who founded the School Day. He now lives in Cádiz. He was influenced by Lanza del Vasto, a direct disciple of Gandhi. Del Vasto visited Majorca about 15 years ago, and his book "Le Retour aux Origines" ("Return to the Sources"), had an inmediate influence.
The basic message of the "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" states: "Universal Love, Non-violence and Peace. Universal Love is better than egoism. Non-violence is better than violence. Peace is better than war". Non-violence is the attitude of renouncing killing and inflicting pain on all breings in thought, word and action.
The "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" is a non-governmental, international and pioneering initiative of Pacificatory Education in which educational centres of all standards and of all the countries are invited to participate.
It is a practical activity which has neither official programming nor structural lines of action, because the message is one which maintains a permanent nucleus of basic aspects, and permits the free application of each educational centre according to its particular manner.
Professor Eulogio Díaz del Corral has written: "The 'School Day of Non-violence and Peace' was founded in Spain in 1964, when neither in Spain nor abroad did a similar initiative exist. It was maintained through hell and high water in very difficult circumstances, and it is considered the most important pioneering experience of Pacificatory Education of our time, as well as a dynamic nocleus of its promotion at a national and international level".
The "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" is a seed which is planted and cultivated in the hearts of the students. It is a bright, new and positive way of looking at the word and preparing for the future.

It can be changed easily, but I went with the traditional to avoid appearing PRC-centric...also, since I personally know simplified (and the article is written in simplified), I figured it would be most balanced to feature the other style (instead of featuring "my" style). There are also people out there who believe traditional is the "international standard" whereas simplified is "PRC only". Also, as traditional characters go, 個 is probably one of the most recognizable ones for Chinese learners (others that I learned pretty early were 對 and 學). Anyway, I did put together a mock-up a while ago of a main page with both, but I think it looked too crowded:
In Chinese, classifiers are words that must be used whenever a noun is modified by a number or a demonstrative such as "this" and "that". There are as many as 150 different classifiers, and many nouns are associated with certain ones—for example, flat objects such as tables use the classifier zhāng, whereas long objects such lines use tiáo. How exactly these classifier–noun associations are formed has been a subject of debate, with some linguists proposing that they are based on innate semantic features (i.e., all nouns with "long" features use a certain classifier), and others suggesting that they are motivated by analogy to prototypical pairings (i.e., dictionaries and textbooks use whatever the more general noun, "book", uses). There is also, however, a "general classifier", gè, which can be used in place of the specific classifiers; in informal speech, this one is used far more than any other. Furthermore, speakers often choose to use only a bare noun, dropping both the classifier and the number or demonstrative preceding it; therefore, some linguists believe that classifiers are used more for pragmatic reasons, such as foregrounding new information, rather than for strict grammatical reasons. (more...)

I am sorry if i've made a mistake.in my opinion,if i want to say:There are clouds in the sky,I would say"天空上有一片雲"(in fact, the chinese version is meaning that there is a cloud in the sky at that moment.).the sentence ”天空一片雲” is not a complete sentence at all,in english,it is something just like "the sky(NOUN) clouds(NOUN)."verb and connectionis are absence in this case.moreover,the word"片"is describing the noun"cloud" but no sky.if we want to describe the word "sky".we could definitely use the word"片",but not in this case.that"s just my opinions —Preceding unsigned comment added by 小雨點 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 3 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-03T17:59:00.000Z","author":"\u5c0f\u96e8\u9ede","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-\u5c0f\u96e8\u9ede-2009-10-03T17:59:00.000Z-Classifier_2","replies":[]}}-->

This is exactly one of the most confused part of chinese usage.The sentence 天空突然一片辽阔 is, in fact,should be wirite as 天空突然變得一片辽阔, but for better pronouncing reason or in informal case like lyric ,we can leave it out.of course,this is just exceptional case.no matter in daily life, or formal writing,it is better for us to write 天空突然變得一片辽阔. 小雨點 (talk) 19:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-03T19:06:00.000Z","author":"\u5c0f\u96e8\u9ede","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-\u5c0f\u96e8\u9ede-2009-10-03T19:06:00.000Z-Classifier_2","replies":[]}}-->

You have recently systematically changed Turfan to Turpan in all Wikipedia pages. This kind of systematic change is quite inappropriate. First of all, Turfan is more common in English texts (you can search on Google Books to check it). Secondly, when 2 spellings are common in English texts, a systematic change of one spelling to the other one (without any prior consensus) is quite wrong.

I did search Google books, news, and web; there are slightly more Turfans on books and web, slightly more Turpans on news. In any case, it's all relatively close, and the difference is not large enough to strongly suggest that one spelling or another is "right"; furthermore, google searching is an inexact science anyway, a google result can't be used as damning evidence one way or another unless the difference is huge. Ultimately, the trump card is that Turpan is the native name. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs21:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-04T21:05:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-04T21:05:00.000Z-Alefbe-2009-10-04T20:58:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Misbehavior by another is not license to do the same. As for the conflict itself, I note that you just used administrative rollback to revert his reverts, and then you blocked him—you used your administrative tools in a conflict dispute. That is, generously, wildly inappropriate.

I don't think there is; before I was an admin I once rolled back over 1,000 edits (caused by a malfunctioning bot) in a couple minutes. Or if non-admin rollback does have a rate limit, it is much higher than 10 per minute.
And in any case, it's not like I intentionally chose to use admin rollback instead of non-admin rollback.

First draft
version #3 -- cropped, moved legend, 1km-scale added
Picked some random landmarks. I'm assuming "Lu" means "Street"... I'll write that in English. Any other major landmarks needed? Also, I can't find the infamous "Grand Bazaar"...
Yep, Lu is street :). Jie and Dao also mean street, if you come across them; so are words like Xilu, Nanlu, Beilu, and Donglu ("west ___ road", "south ___ road", etc.). The "Grand Bazaar" has several different names, so I'll look around the map and see if I can spot it; if not, I'll ask a Uyghur friend this week.

Haven't found Grand Bazaar yet. But People's Square (also mentioned in the article) is in the middle, straight east of Renmin Park. It's Renmin Square (Renmin = People).

You know what, I bet it's the thing labelled "Erdaoqiao Store" (at the bottom of the orange road). If my memory serves me correctly, the Grand Bazaar and Erdaoqiao are two big buildings in roughly the same area. They're both big shopping centers with lots of booths (similar to Silk Street in Beijing) so the label "Erdaoqiao Store" would make sense.

So google-maps is quite a tool. Still no clue where Shanxi Alley is, but it mentions "a hospital" -- only hospital around is the Regional Hospital on the map; Nanmen area is right there, can't be far...

Ah, ok, I see it now. It looks like we were right to assume that the Grand Bazaar is near Erdaoqiao; google maps has a Xinjiang Guoji Dabaza, which is the Grand Bazaar (lit. Xinjiang International Big Bazaar.... apparently Urumqians often call it the "da bazaar", which is mixing Chinese--da = grand, with Uyghur bazaar...in pure Uyghur it's chong bazaar, but da bazaar just sounds so much funnier). Zoomed in to here, you can see Erdaqiao (Döngkövrük) on Jiefang Rd., with the Grand Bazaar just east of it on Heping Rd. ("South Peace Rd.").

Aahh... This is quite the confusing section to navigate... I'm assuming that version up there with the flames and stars is the current version. There is one spelling error Remin --> Renmin on the road. "Lu" is often translated as "Road" while "Jie" is often translated as "Street". "Dadao" is "Avenue", but sometimes "Lu" is also translated as "Avenue". For the labels box, the "Urumqi" is too stretched... in my opinion, and looks a bit awkward... other than than I can't see anything else.

It certainly does not meet g4 which explicitly "excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version" and is the basis on which you deleted it. Even though you are an admin you are not entitled to speedy delete (let alone lock) pages that you don't like. You are also not allowed to speedy delete an article because of percieved lack of notability. Please either point to a policy which entitiles you to delete and lock this article, or undelete it.

Thanks for notifying me, Rjanag. Because repeated promotion has occurred at Nicholas Beale for more than two years, could you apply indefinite create protection to Nicholas Beale and Nicholas beale. After 4 AfDs, this biography clearly does not belong on Wikipedia. Indefinite salting would force those who wish to repost this article to bring the article to DRV.

Oops, sorry I missed it. I'll re-apply indef protection to Nicholas Beale; I had indef salted it when I deleted it, but after it was restored and re-deleted I only salted it for a year (don't remember why). There's probably no harm in salting it indefinitely and making whoever re-writes it apply to an admin before being able to put it back in mainspace.

Unfortunately, the voting is by simple approval only, so no negative votes are going to get counted in any event. Regarding any conduct issues, there have been others who became coordinators of projects whose conduct was, well, unimpressive in some regards, who grew while coordinators and became editors that I think are now fairly universally regarded. Girolamo at the Films project comes to mind. And I've been known to be fairly criticized on more occasions than I really like thinking about as well, even as an admin. I think it might be best if you moved the comment onto the talk page. I'm not sure if any non-socks who got enough votes has ever been disqualified in an election, but I doubt it. (I think there was something like that in the Film project once though). Right now, personally, I'd probably take Charlie Manson if he didn't drool over the porn on the computer right now, because the group is big and it needs as much help as possible.

Well, like I said, I don't really have a vested interest in your project and it's no skin off my back if NBeale gets elected. But I wanted to warn you guys that he's a disruptive (off-wiki canvassing is disruptive) and self-serving (COI) editor who doesn't even understand basic Wikipedia policies (not knowing what edit warring means even though it's in bold at WP:EW, and not knowing what constitutes a personal attack).

Hi Rjanag. You have been on Wikipedia for 1 year 1 month & 25 days, and seem to me to have the impatience of youth :-) Nobody's perfect: you might want to think about WP:BITE and WP:NPA ("X has occasionally done something which I think is Y" is not the same as "X is Y"). And whether the incident you mention is really an WP:EW is highly debatable (an anon editor reverts 3 times, in 2 cases I try to meet his/her objections). If we seek to drive out any editor who has a blog and who actually knows some of the people we are writing about we will not improve wikipedia. Already the number of editors is apparently declning, and this may be due to over-aggressive behaviour. Let's encourage participation and getting involved rather than harassing people.

Hi! I noticed you reverted my link to the Commons page for the Voynich Manuscript, noting that it was "already linked prominently". That is not correct. The Commons category at [48] is linked to (which contains the manuscript in arbitrary order, and some other files), not the Commons page at [49], which has the manuscript only, with all the pages in proper order. I'll leave it to you to decide how to link best, but IMO the article shouldn't link to the category at all but to the page instead. Sadly, we don't have template to do this, at least no to my knowledge. -- JovanCormac (talk) 11:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-07T11:56:00.000Z","author":"JovanCormac","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-JovanCormac-2009-10-07T11:56:00.000Z-Voynich_manuscript_link","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-10-07T14:20:00.000Z-JovanCormac-2009-10-07T11:56:00.000Z"]}}-->

Radeksz concedes my point w/ this telling edit sum., but reverts anyway: [53]
The edit summaries are quite telling. In the fourth diff, neither rebutting nor bothering to compromise by taking into account my point (which his edit summary forthrightly acknowledges), Radeksz simply reverts me, of course leaving in the completely false claim that the Soviets "openly" supported the Nazi invasion. I can obviously take out "openly" but I think that the claim that the USSR supported the Nazi invasion of Poland is equivocation; the USSR simply went along with the invasion due to its own geopolitical interests.
This looks like a case of trigger-happy reverting. Radeksz may claim that the USSR supported the invasion, but providing a source would be nice. Actually taking out "openly" per his own concession edit summary 4 would have been a compromise.
I'd gladly do a third revert, but I find Radeksz's behavior inappropriate enough, you've warned me that even doing one or two reverts can be considered edit warring, and I'm currently watched by ArbCom due to Radeksz' edit warring and team-tagging with Martintg and friends (your contributions as a party in this case, WP:EEML, are welcome). I'd take this to talk, but it seems that Radeksz is willing to concede my point even as he trigger-happily reverts me, and it's patently obvious that Radeksz is reverting for the heck of it. I think Radeksz' work here clearly falls under edit warring without breaching 3RR. As a team member who follows around my edits with a team of friendly buddies all over Wiki, he constantly reverts me and I'm sick of it. In this case, he should at least be given a warning to attempt compromise sometime, instead of blindly reverting to a version he prefers but admits isn't properly written.
This is not only revert-warring; this falls under WP:GAME examples as "stonewalling" and "bad faith negotiating."
I'd very much appreciate seeing your thoughts on this tango.

I don't really see how the quote there supports the claim that the USSR "openly supported" anything, but I'm not familiar with this part of history so who knows.
More importantly, though, why didn't you discuss this at the article talk page, or with Radeksz, before coming to me? This is precisely the kind of thing that can be worked out through discussion; from what I can tell, one of the main reasons Wikipedia's articles on this topic are so bad is because everyone involved is more interested in ratting one another out than in actually working on the article. To be perfectly frank, from an editor's standpoint I have no reason to care about any of you guys or what happens to you; as an editor, all I really care about is the article quality, and neither of you are doing it any favors by being at each other's throats. A little discussion before running to admins would go a long way, I think. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs01:52, 8 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-08T01:52:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-08T01:52:00.000Z-Radeksz_edit_warring","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-10-08T01:54:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-10-08T01:52:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
As for your claim that Radeksz is wikihounding you... well, you haven't provided me diffs from any other articles, and I'm not really interested in them anyway; this is not a conflict I wish to get involved in. There's already an ArbCom case open to address it. My lack of interest in investigating Radeksz' "wikihounding" doesn't mean I approve of it or am taking sides—you already know what my opinion of Martintg is—it just means that this is not my thing to get involved in. For the specific article disagreement you described above, I've already said how to deal with it (discussion); for the long-term issues of hounding or gaming, those are best dealt with by ArbCom and not by me. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs01:54, 8 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-08T01:54:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-08T01:54:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-10-08T01:52:00.000Z","replies":["c-Anti-Nationalist-2009-10-08T02:09:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-10-08T01:54:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
It's impossible to discuss with Radeksz because he is stonewalling; in this diff [54], it's evident that in the interests of furthering an edit war battleground he blindly reinserts his favored WP:OR version containing the claim of "open" support, while in the summary telling me to remove this if I want. (Completely unreasonable - apparently an attempt to get me to revert a third time in order to convince people of how warlike I'm behaving.) I've tried dealing with him elsewhere, but it's a fruitless endeavor. What Radeksz writes is what he wants to see, not what the sources say or what a compromise would have.
As far as the noxious nature of these Eastern Europe disputes, I completely understand your lack of will as to dealing with this – going as far as you have in attempting to deal with things in the past is far more than what most admins would have tried to do. Thanks anyway.

Please have a careful look at the edits:
PU/AN first edit: I edit w/ this edit sum - [55]; this is actually a completely legit edit, aside from the edit summary, in that at some point somehow a block of text (including a quote) got removed from the article (making a sentence a fragment) and PU/AN is taking out the sentence which was introducing the quote.
My first edit: [56] Ok, PU/AN was right, so I went back, found the text that was removed and put it back in. What's wrong with this edit?
PU/AN second edit: [57]. PU/AN's edit summary: It can be said the USSR supported the German invasion due to the M-R secret protocol, but that ït supported the German invasion "openly" is WP:OR / false. They didn't announce "we approve." So. PU/AN says It can be said the USSR supported the German invasion, but that it cannot be said that it supported the German invasion "openly". Ok, I'm fine with that. Hence my last edit:
My second edit: [58] in which I completely agree with PU/AN - I remove the word "openly" since it doesn't seem to belong and restore the original quote per his statement that "It can be said the USSR supported the German invasion due to the M-R secret protocol".
So what the hey is PU/AN's problem with my edits here, since I'm agreeing with him??? Is it because my edits followed his edits? Speaking of "wiki-hounding" - I've had this article on my watchlist since like 2004, before PU was even on Wikipedia and especially before PU decided to become AN - more likely he looked up my past edits and decided to "send a message". This is really trying to make a big deal out of nothing just to make accusations against somebody.radek (talk) 05:19, 8 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-08T05:19:00.000Z","author":"Radeksz","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Radeksz-2009-10-08T05:19:00.000Z-Radeksz_edit_warring","replies":[],"displayName":"radek"}}-->
Ugh, looking at it again I see that I did make a mistake - I meant to put in the text without the word "openly", which I did, but somehow I didn't remove the same text w/ the word "openly" in it. Then I left home for a few hours to run some errands. I see that you corrected my mistake - thanks!

Hello, last time I made more than 3 changes to one page, you blocked me. Now there's this totally biased opinion going on at Arab people, wherein some users are deleting my sources and references, are adding sources and references that have nothing to do with the subject of the debate (aka. how many of the Egyptian people are considered Arabs), and are instead adding sources that are not scientific and that do not bear any credibility. I already discussed this on the talk page. I made 2 different changes to the page (different, not the same), but I do not want to make a 3rd change to avoid what happened last time. What do you suggest I should be doing in this case?

Someone insists on inserting pictures of the July 2009 demonstrations (Berlin/Washington) into East Turkestan independence movement. Neither the English nor the German posters/flyers say anything about "independence." Is there any indication that the people in the pictures were actually demonstrating for "independence"? Is there proof?... I think it's very dubious and takes up too much space in that short section. But I'm sick of arguing...

Hi Rjanag,
A month ago you said on my talk page that if a particular user named Liam became trouble again to let you know. I said I would keep watch. Now he has definitely returned with a vengeance at Talk Meher Baba
An extensive section by user Hoverfish is there where he has been doing his own investigation of sockpuppetrty by the user. Here is just one small example:
I'm on the Baba fringe too, but do check out this article a few times a year. Why not a bigger section on Sanskaras Im wondering? Johnathon --203.26.122.12 (talk)
The user has a confirmed (by admin) history of sockpuppetry and even admits to it proudly in the discussion. I left a post on the Discussion page that I would see if an admin could help.

Hi from me too Rjanag. Well, it is draining my energy all right, though I could simply disregard him, but I think then he would create more problems, so I try to keep him somewhat in check. I think he is using the talk page like social networking somehow, I am not sure how much is permissible or where there is a clear limit, but I keep feeling SOME rule should be there to put an end to it, hopefully. I know that's a lot of literature to offer you, but it gives an idea... Talk:Meher_Baba#The_Brendan132_incident Thanks for your time anyway.

Your message is very lacking in specifics. You want me to do something about him, but don't even say how he's making trouble—you just say "look at the talk page". Sorry, but I'm a bit busy the next couple days and don't have time to look at this. If the issue is that Liam is operating sockpuppets, please use WP:Administrator's noticeboard/Incidents or WP:Sockpuppet investigations. But if you post a message looking for help, make sure you actually explain the problem (as briefly as possible), because you're not going to get help if no one knows what you're talking about. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs01:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-12T01:55:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-12T01:55:00.000Z-Hoverfish-2009-10-11T20:25:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

He's removing sourced information and refusing to discuss anything. I just found your name in his talk so I thought you may tell him to behave. Why do you say my editing is inappropiate? I spent many hours trying to help cleanup and expand an article (Amir Kror Suri) that looked terrible and awaful. I've added very helpful information so whoever later tries to edit will have a much more better idea how to add information. Like I said my intention was to make the article look representable, I'm not pushing POV. But he removed all the info and said these are 2 different people or something like that. I'm trying to help but he's trying to destroy my work.

Rjanag, normally I would agree that comments about Wikipedia editing belong in the manuals and not the articles. However, I refer you to Wikipedia:Help desk#More on IPA tone. In this case, I don't think a small comment in a list of resources in a section at the end of an article that is specifically about "Keyboard Input" would be harmful. On the contrary, it would be extremely helpful. If you disagree again, I will accept and won't argue further. I will also include a link from the IPA article to Wikipedia's IPA manual for similar reasons. I hope these resources in the appendices to the article will help others avoid the frustration I have had.--seberle (talk) 14:47, 13 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-13T14:47:00.000Z","author":"Seberle","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Seberle-2009-10-13T14:47:00.000Z-IPA_keyboard_input","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-10-13T16:43:00.000Z-Seberle-2009-10-13T14:47:00.000Z"]}}-->

Why are you adding policy shortcuts (like this) to talkpage sections?

I did not expect that shortcut boxes could be construed as "disruptive tagging." Rather, I construed the posting of these neutral policy links as a non-confrontational tool for signaling policies with mitigating potential.
I added shortcut link boxes to the policy pages which I thought were arguably relevant and helpful. In the past, I used this as a communication device at Talk:Tang Dynasty in Inner Asia and at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Tang Dynasty/Workshop where it was not as effective as I would have wanted. However, it is worth noting that this tactic was not considered inappropriate or wrong in those venues.
I believed that this was arguably useful in identifying common ground. The discussion threads were mired in a Gordian Knot of cross-purposes and complicated apples and oranges issues. I thought this would help, not hurt.
I believed these mini-infoboxes would be useful in ameliorating conflict with Historiographer or any other editor who announces that expressive and receptive English language skills present a potential complication.
Thank youfor your help in minimizing adverse consequences from a possible mis-step.

That is not what the {{shortcut}} template is for. That template is for placing on policy pages, guidelines, and essays, to show what links redirect to them. See, for example, the usage here and here. They are not "mini-infoboxes". The guidelines for their usage are clearly documented at Template:Shortcut#Usage and Wikipedia:Shortcut#Link boxes.
As for the reason you are posting here at all, I have no idea. You just showed up at my talk page, giving no background, no link to anything, and no explanation at all of why you're here or what you want. If there is something you are actually asking for, I would appreciate it if you could communicate clearly instead of just showing up and leaving incomprehensible messages. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs21:35, 18 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-18T21:35:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-18T21:35:00.000Z-Tenmei-2009-10-18T20:36:00.000Z","replies":["c-Tenmei-2009-10-18T22:32:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-10-18T21:35:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Rjanag -- I have retracted the text above by striking it out except for the words "thank you" which I have emphasized with bold.
When you asked the question "why?" above, I didn't realize that the question was a rhetorical. I now see that no explanation was wanted. I did not guess that posting shortcuts might be perceived as controversial or disruptive. In your opinion, I was wrong.
On further review of Template:Shortcut#Usage and Wikipedia:Shortcut#Link boxes, I don't draw the inference of disruption or misuse; but I will be guided by your opinion in future.

Hi there Rjanag. The DYK bot seems to believe it is on a 6 hour cycle after Gatoclass changed it to 8 hours and posted a warning to AN that the update is overdue and the template shows the same warning.

Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with DYKAdminBot (or Wikipedia bots in general). User:Shubinator has more experience with this, I'll ping him about it. The bot's operator is User:Nixeagle (and used to be User:Ameliorate!), but both editors are not very active anymore. (Although Ameliorate! might be at least checking his watchlist, as he made an edit today; if you send him a message he might see it.) rʨanaɢtalk/contribs14:51, 19 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-19T14:51:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-19T14:51:00.000Z-SoWhy-2009-10-19T12:53:00.000Z","replies":["c-Shubinator-2009-10-20T06:16:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-10-19T14:51:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Chamal updated the template a few hours ago, so that's taken care of. Unfortunately it looks like the AN warning is hardcoded to trigger at 5 hours after the last update, so it would take someone with access to the code to change it. The warning isn't completely wrong though... the 1 should be changed to 3, and the bot operator should be changed to Nixeagle, but the gist is right.

I am looking for advice first and foremost. I have done extensive start up pages in the past only to have them deleted simply because it is one persons viewpoint. All the people or companies that I write about I have spent quality time via face to face interaction. I don't sit at home and critique those from afar. So now I will start in stages with the page and build it up so to avoid being "red flagged" by guys like you. I have noticed hundreds of pages on this site that are not finished that have been up for quite some time. How about purging those pages from the system or correcting them? Understand, I am looking for advice, please help me not deter my situation.

I'm not a BAG member. It's just my opinion that at this point if there are unresolved issues with the bot they will show up through a trial run. The bot doesn't impact existing policy usage with the templates, you discussed the issue with other editors at the template, the bot is dealing with an already deprecated template, you're not wading into the simp/trad issue, although you know it exists, and your request has been posted for a while, so my thinking is it's time to ask for a trial run, post the trial run for evaluation and move on to the bot.

The dictionary http://www.nciku.com gives "漏油". I'm not sure how to explain it... oil does really refer to petroleum, but it's not necessary when a ship sinks, it's usually just when an oil tanker has a leak and spills lots of oil into the sea. The result of an oil spill is an oil slick (浮油).

It was my understanding that a sub-page in my user space was only for private editing before it was released to the public. Because of that, rather than try to learn all of the formatting requirements, I copied the text of a book I knew of (Da Vinci Code), so that I could replace the text with text appropriate for my book. The only other images were a photo of the Catacombs of Paris that I submitted as my work and was free to use according to Wiki rules. The other image was the book cover image for which the copyright owner emailed the license to "permissions" earlier today.

It didn't seem clear enough to me, given that it's remained up for 6 days. And regardless, the point is we shouldn't be promoting hooks while they're at AfD—particularly, a user should not be unilaterally "verifying" and promoting a hook while it's the subject of a pages-long discussion. (Keep in mind that Allen3 not just verified the article, but selected one of the four hooks--which already seem to have been subject to disagreement.)

I think replace.py should work on any wiki. (For what it's worth, I didn't really design this bot; the pywikipedia package is a bunch of functions that other people have already written, so I could just take advantage of them without actually having to know how bots really work behind-the-scenes ;) .) It's relatively easy to use (getting python and pywikipedia installed is probably harder than actually using it), and if you want I could help you get it set up. I think you would have to create a bot account on Navajo-wiki with your N account as the operator...not sure how their BRFA process works over there.
Another good person to talk to would be User:Kwamikagami, who does a lot of these style replacements (IPA fixes, etc.) on en-wiki, although I think he does it using AWB. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs04:12, 29 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-29T04:12:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-29T04:12:00.000Z-Seb_az86556-2009-10-29T01:41:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

First of all, I'm extremely suprised that you can promote July 2009 Ürümqi riots into GA status given the controversial nature of the topic, but since you did it, and you are more familiar with the bureaucracy of Wikipedia, I would like some personal opinions on the future prospects of the articles I'm working on. The articles in question are:
Given that none of the articles above are suffering from edit wars, I have been pondering for months on whether to promote these three articles to higher status, but I'm concerned about the nature of the topic since they are Korean War topics involving battles between US and China.
My main concerns are:
Copyediting, since English is not my first language. (but recent edits seems to be working on the problem)
WP:RS propaganda clause on Chinese sources, even when Chinese sources are referenced in the right context or the Chinese side of the story has been verified on Western sources.
Unnecessary attentions may bring in edit wars between Chinese ultranationalist, US Army vets and US Marine fans...and it appears I'm the only one monitoring the contents right now.
I was thinking on consulting the US, Korean and Chinese military history task forces, but given the sensitive nature of the topic, I would perfer a neutral outsider opinion first.

Hey Jim! I think it should definitely be possible, and all these articles look well-developed. The single most important thing, I think, is having a lot of experienced editors paying attention to the article....the main reason the Urumqi riots article worked out, for example, was that there were enough of us there to shout down all the crazies when they tried to mess up the article. If it's just you against a constant stream of POV-pushers, it will be hard to hold them back without violating 3RR and other rules, plus you'll just get tired (like me, I've almost given up on the South Korea article); but if you have support, it's easier to deal with the problem editors.
For experienced editors who are knowledgeable about Korea topics and good at maintaining NPOV in controversial articles, I would suggest Baeksu, Mtd2006, and Caspian blue...if you could get any of them helping out with the articles, that would probably help a lot. For the China side of things, there's all the familiar editors from Urumqi riots... Colipon, Ohconfucius, Benlisquare, etc.
Copyediting shouldn't be a big problem; just once the overall structure of the article is figured out and all the content is ready, you can invite one or two good copyeditors to read through it right before you start the GA review. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs04:19, 29 October 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-29T04:19:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-10-29T04:19:00.000Z-Jim101-2009-10-29T03:42:00.000Z","replies":["c-Jim101-2009-10-29T04:34:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-10-29T04:19:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

I see now that John Anstis' portrait fitted this. However, I use Twinkle, and its wording for F8 is "bit-for-bit identical", which misled me somewhat (I was thinking it might be for people who'd uploaded it to both, for example). I also not that F8 itself just says identical - which I agree is relevant here (clearly the same painting). I don't quite know why I'm telling you this, but hey. - Jarry1250[Humorous?

I remain somewhat confused about your message. You continue to suggest that THB300K.jpg is a non-free image. I would agree it was when I first posted it. But as soon as you sent your fist message, I contacted the copyright owner who did submit to license using your own language template to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Now you claim it doesn't exist. The site suggests that if the license is not received within 7 days, it will be deleted. Yet, if it is not in the commons, that would mean it was deleted on the same day it was posted... even though the license was emailed on the same day.
Re: the article being written by me. I am no longer the owner of the book. I was the author, but I am not the owner, so suggesting it as that is not accurate. But I do see validity to the point about writing an article about a book I authored could be taken the wrong way, I will ask someone else to write the article.
You did not respond to my other question. Is a sub-page open for scrutiny by people such as yourself? I mentioned that I thought it was a practice page that was not visible to anyone else (The reason I cut and paste another article to easer the pain of my formatting ignorance.

Hi Rjanag. It seems that you have been helpfully reflecting on the appropriateness of some of your behaviour and been willing to apologise. I would suggest that you consider apologising to others to whom you have been un-civil, and specifically undertaking that you will not use your powers as an Admin either:
To delete articles expect in strict conformity to the WP Deletion policies (so no 5-minute deletions, no vote-stacking, and no "delete and salt" when the AfD decision was "delete")
To harrass or threaten editors with whom you are in disagreement.

I owe you no apology, your participation regarding your article has been entirely inappropriate and you have repeatedly refused to actually learn the rules that you repeatedly cite incorrectly. 5-minute deletions are not a violation of any rule when they follow the criteria for speedy deletion; no "vote-stacking" ever happened and you need to stop making offensive accusations like that with no evidence; "delete and salt" is appropriate for repeatedly and disruptively re-created articles (see WP:SALT) and I had already received requests from two editors in good standing to do so. Editors who care about nothing other than promoting themselves are useless to this project and should not be welcome here. Perhaps you yourself need to do some "reflecting on the appropriateness of your behaviour" before you leave condescending messages and continue forum-shopping. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs22:39, 1 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-01T22:39:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-01T22:39:00.000Z-NBeale-2009-11-01T08:51:00.000Z","replies":["c-NBeale-2009-11-02T06:58:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-01T22:39:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
When my daughter was doing her PhD at Cambridge she was President of the BA Society at Trinity which looked after the welfare of grad students and I have some insight into how tough life can be for people in your position. I can see that it may be tempting to take out your aggression in Wikipedia. But it really isn't a good idea. There is a difference between learning a language rapidly and speaking it idiomatically. If you can't apologise when you make mistakes when you misuse your priveleges then it would be better for everyone if you were temporarily unable to make such mistakes. You know perfectly well that: (a) your initial 5-minute deletion was expliclitly against policy - if not why did you reverse it? (b) the AfD decision was "delete" not "delete and salt" - did any editor voted thus in the AfD? (c) These delete decisions are pure Wikipolitics - can you find a single example of someone who has written a N book being deleted? (d) That by contacting the people who voted in the previous AfD in the way you did but not notifying the creator of the new article or allowing any time for the article to be improved you were able to manipulate the AfD debate to get the snow close you predicted (e) that you do harrass and threaten and seek to undermine editors with whom you are in disagreement and (f) the idea that my 3,000+ edits have been about "promoting myself" is absurd.
So please reflect and see if you can find it in yourself to be civil, apologise and give these undertakings.

For the millionth time, if you think the deletion was incorrect then take it to Deletion review, and if you think your little page shouldn't be salted then take it to Requests for unprotection. I did nothing wrong in deleting and salting it (as numerous people have told you in all the forums that you forum shopped) and am not interested in listening to you anymore. (And by the wya, if you actually looked, when I contacted people who voted in old AfDs I also contacted the people who had voted keep. The reason I didn't notify the creator was because it was clearly a one-off account that was never going to edit again and was probably a sockpuppet or meatpuppet.)

(Sorry, I am currently on my friend's computer and she doesn't have Chinese installed, so only English for now!)
"There are a lot of shoe (x)" should be "There are a lot of shoes".
"I want a soup" is more difficult. Technically, soup is a mass noun and should be "I want some soup". (Just like Chinese, you have to say wo yao yidian shui(我要一点汤) or yi bei shui(一杯水), never yi ge shui(x)一个水(×).) But, the truth is different. In conversation, "a soup" can mean a cup/bowl of soup. For example, in a restaurant you can say "I want a sandwich and a soup" (which literally means, "I want a sandwich and a cup/bowl of soup".

I only caught a glimpse of this (and then saw this [62] and the other reverts) but I've been working on {{cite IETF}} and harv anchors would not really be desirable when using that template as it has its own anchor generation and linking system/support for shortened footnotes. The documents it is intended for won't always work well for harv footnotes since there aren't always authors or editors, which the harv system really requires.

Hi there. I just noticed that the note about Chinese characters at the top of Kowloon Walled City, the article I'm working on, are having weird formatting issues. Just looking at recent edits to related templates, it seems like this edit of yours might be the cause. If that is indeed the case, could you please fix that as soon as possible?

I am unsure what to make of this, and would like to know how you think about this. On East Asian age reckoning there are many "unsourced statements", however a particular user seems keen on eliminating all unsourced statements, turning a page of about 5,000 bytes into one of 1,000, to the point where there is minimal information left. The page has transformed from this to this. This said user argues here that such material is not permitted at all without sources per WP:BURDEN, full stop. I am under the belief that it was acceptable to temporarily allow an unreferenced statement provided that it can be referenced eventually, and that it doesn't violate BLP; am I mistaken?

Hi Rjanag. I hope all is well with you.

That's strange, the bot should have cleared Queue 3 when it promoted those hooks to the front page. I'm not sure what happened there (to be honest, both of the editors who wrote the bot are semi-retired now so there's no one around who knows how it actually works). I have cleared the queue manually.
As for moving them... actually, sets of hooks don't move through the queues, but rather the bot moves through the queues (so it's a bit misleadingly named). Once a set is promoted to, say, Queue 4, it sits there and waits until the bot has cycled through to that queue...so once hooks are promoted to a queue they don't need to be moved. Just for clarification. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs15:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-05T15:51:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-05T15:51:00.000Z-Calmer_Waters-2009-11-05T15:45:00.000Z","replies":["c-Calmer_Waters-2009-11-05T16:02:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-05T15:51:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Ah, good catch. The bot has a counter (User:DYKadminBot/count) that tells it which queue it's supposed to be on...normally it updates this counter itself after each update (ie, after promoting queue 3 it should increment its counter to 4, so next time it'll do queue 4) and seems to have missed that too. I fixed it for now...will have to keep an eye on it in a few hours to see if it messes up again. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs16:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-05T16:05:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-05T16:05:00.000Z-Calmer_Waters-2009-11-05T16:02:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

I was looking at one of the bot's edit on the Martin Lee article. When it converted zh-tspj without saying first=t, this is going to cause issues. Now Martin Lee has simplified chars first. It becomes difficult maybe even impossible to go back. That goes for any other article that used {{zh-tspj}}.

As far as I can remember, this was intentional. The traditional/simplified ordering seemed to already be a mess across the project (i.e., a lot of articles were already using the wrong template), so we didn't want to try to program the bot to make any decisions about ordering since it's often subjective and needs a human to make the decision. Most of the templates that should have traditional first, I replaced myself (using AWB) several weeks ago, adding |first=t manually; the bot only did replacements on templates that were already simplified-first. (Note that the name of a template doesn't necessarily tell you the order of its constituents: templates like {{zh-tspj}} and {{zh-ts}} actually had simplified characters first [63][64].) I figured people watching the articles can fix the ordering manually if needed. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs00:15, 7 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-07T00:15:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-07T00:15:00.000Z-Benjwong-2009-11-06T08:29:00.000Z","replies":["c-Benjwong-2009-11-09T05:57:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-07T00:15:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Ok I got AWB. I think it is possible to flip it so that traditional comes first. And anyone else can fill in the simplified chars. Something like first=s. What do you think?

I don't think any project-wide changes should be made without a discussion (for example, at WP:CHINESE). It's fine for you to start manually adding |first=s to templates that you think should explicitly be simplified first (such as PRC-related articles) but I won't alter the defaults without a wider community consensus. You'd probably be better off starting a discussion instead of making any changes with AWB yet, because you would have to do something like 15,000 edits (even with AWB, that takes a very long time), whereas if a community consensus is reached then I can have ZhBot add the |first=s automatically to templates that don't have it, or to templates that are in certain articles (for example, if the community came up with a list of categories for which all the member articles should be simp-first or trad-first, the bot could use those). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs05:07, 12 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-12T05:07:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-12T05:07:00.000Z-Benjwong-2009-11-12T04:52:00.000Z","replies":["c-Benjwong-2009-11-12T05:44:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-12T05:07:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Was there an agreement that first=t? And I am not attacking you. I am just trying to figure out how that decision was implemented. I know your original goal was to consolidate like 10 templates in 1.

No, but like I said above, many of the existing templates already defaulted to simplified-first. Also, like I said above, I didn't change the display of any templates (except the minimal number of bot errors that people like you have found and corrected); before the bot ran I manually did the templates that needed traditional first, doing several thousand edits with AWB. (You can tell if you see my contributions summary, there is a giant spike in September.)

ZhBot is currently replacing {{lang-zh}} with {{zh}} and the edit summary says to check the userpage. However, the userpage mentions only merging all "zh-" style templates into zh.

Hm...now that I check, it does look like we didn't specifically discuss lang-zh (or lang-gb, for that matter). But in this case the change is 1) harmless, as far as I can tell, and 2) useful, for the following reasons:
{{zh}} is simply better than {{lang-zh}}, it has all the functionality of the latter and much more.
Probably most importantly, having all Chinese stuff in the same template makes it easier to implement systematic changes in the future. For example, hypothetically, if we decided someday that all Chinese text should be enclosed in some extra html template, it will be much easier to do that if it all uses the same zh template, rather than a whole slew of templates.
And, while it seems like a lot of edits, this template actually seems to have been used much less than the other series of templates (zh-stp, zh-cpcy, etc.) that ZhBot replaced before—there were less than 2000 of these, compared to 15,000 or more of the others. And the text that shows up to the reader is still exactly the same. My plan, now that these replacements are done, is to redirect {{lang-zh}} to {{zh}} (more specifically, to replace its contents with {{zh | c={{{1}}} }} so that it still works if people use it. I also intend to make the same replacements for {{lang-gb}}. But if you think this is serious, I can file a second request for bot approval before doing this task. Personally, the only benefit I see in keeping the current templates is consistency with the others in Category:Multilingual support templates, but that benefit is outweighed by the others (I think), and besides that category is not exhaustive anyway, so I see no harm in having just one more language that has slightly different format. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs06:33, 8 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-08T06:33:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-08T06:33:00.000Z-Kolindigo-2009-11-08T04:37:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kolindigo-2009-11-15T13:52:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-08T06:33:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Regarding the Eva Peron article, we do not need accents over the "o" in the words "Peronism" and "Peronato."

Your edits are just as bad. I have been working on fixing the broken images and links, and twice now you h ave come in and done a wholesale revert. I realize that the image links and derived words should not have accents, and I am working on fixing them--unfortunately, a mess was created when an IP user removed all accents from the article for no reason, but in a way that couldn't be easily reverted. I did not add these extra accents intentionally, it happened while I was trying to repair the earlier damage using find & replace--which would not have been necessary if no one had screwed up the accents in the first place. Long story short, some things should have accents and your removals of all the accents are incorrect. Now I'm going to have to sit down and go through all of then one-by-one to fix what you and the previous IP editor have messed up. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs02:38, 9 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-09T02:38:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-09T02:38:00.000Z-Andrew_Olivo_Parodi-2009-11-09T02:27:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

First, I'd like to thank you for your work on July 2009 Ürümqi riots. It seems I'm late to the party (good job on the GA) but that article looks positively superb for such a contested topic. It is for this reason that I would like to request your help on User:NocturneNoir/Sandbox/Chongqing corruption scandal (yes, when mainspaced, it will reside at 2009 Chongqing corrupting scandal instead of its current stated target). I've listed sources at User talk:NocturneNoir/Sandbox/Chongqing corruption scandal, but I'm having trouble with both the formatting of the article and the decision of what information should be included.

Hi Rjanag. My query here is regarding Template:Quote. I just noticed this issue then, but previously when using Template:Quote, if you left a line between two paragraphs it, naturally, would recognise that line and leave a space separating the paragraphs. However, for some reason it is not doing this now and the text, even if split into paragraphs, merges into the one block. As you were the most recent to edit the template, I thought it would be logical to ask you if you knew how to fix this? It may not have been your edit, but I didn't notice this until now and you were the most recent to edit the template. Thanks, Abraham, B.S.

(editconflicted) Short answer: my recent edit is the one that has caused the problem, and I can't figure out a way to fix it yet, so I've reverted.
Long answer: Thanks for pointing this out. I removed those tags to fix a formatting error in this AfD close, where the {{quote}} template caused the archiving to be messed up. Basically, the archiving works by applying a <div style="background: [some color]"> tag to the beginning of the discussion, and a </div> tag to the end... but the quote template also has a
tag, so when the browser sees it it thinks that's the end of the background-color thing and ends the archiving. I have also noticed this problem with embedded div tags on other pages; it's kind of annoying, so I'll leave a note at WP:VP/T to see if anything can be done about it. Anyway, in this case I thought the div tags in the template were doing nothing so I removed them to fix the AfD page, but didn't realize that would create other problems. For now I've just converted the quote template in the AfD to a <blockquote></blockquote>, which will work as a quick fix for most cases, but the better solution will be to figure out how to prevent div tags from interfering with one another, so I will look into that. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs01:11, 14 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-14T01:11:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-14T01:11:00.000Z-Template:Quote","replies":["c-Abraham,_B.S.-2009-11-14T01:25:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-14T01:11:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Hi, Rjanag, if you're active, could you look into this blatant violation of WP:Talk, WP:SOAPBOX and WP:NPA by new editors named Monkh Naran (talk·contribs) and Pertook15 (talk·contribs) as well as GenuineMongol (talk·contribs)'s gross incivility. I deleted some rant[66] that have nothing to do with the ongoing disputes on a map and content regarding 13th century Korean and Mongol relation. However, Monkh Naran (talk·contribs) reverted to include such offensive attacks including mocking ethnicity, and false labeling of "vandalism" with threats. I've been attacked by the users like this[67][68][69]. I warned them and tried to calm down[70], but well...I got this treatment.User_talk:Caspian_blue#Materials_from_User_talk:Gantuya_eng.

I also found out an odd thing. The user appeared to support to delete the article of Mongolia during Tang rule several month ago [71] when all Mongolian editors appeared to voice out the same view at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mongolia during Tang rule, and his other occasions are also similar.

Heh, my request is not like that. I'm against blocking people, since they're somehow coming back. For this reason, i'm in favor of forcing them to discuss their problems with the articles. If they do so, i have enough answers for them, but how to force them, that's the problem. That's the logic behind writing to you.

I do a fair amount of writing/editing on WP but I don't know of any page that has such a constant stream of vandals as the One-Child Policy page. Virtually all of the vandals are unregistered users, and judging by the childishness of the entries, the vast majority are juveniles.
Would it be possible to restrict editing of that article to Registered Users? Of course many of us monitor those entries now, but it's a PITA to have to deal with those edits. If it is possible to place a restriction on editing, and you know how to request or create such a restriction, then I encourage you to do so.
Thanks a lot.

Semi-protecting it at least temporarily is definitely a good idea, given the level of vandalism; I could apply a several-months protection to it myself. Semi-protecting indefinitely, though, is a slightly bigger deal and it would probably be good to get more input before doing it—in some instances I wouldn't mind protecting indefinitely, but in this case it's a controversial article and is not even very good anyway (and I think it has some bias that would make some editors bitter anyway, although that's still not an excuse for the mostly sophomoric vandalism that takes place there). The best option might be to list it at Requests for page protection (requesting either indefinite semi-protection, or something like 3- or 6-month semi-protection) just so that a couple more eyes will see the request and be able to raise objections if there are problems. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs22:30, 20 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-20T22:30:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-20T22:30:00.000Z-Mack2-2009-11-20T20:40:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-11-21T02:33:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-20T22:30:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

What do you think? I have a feeling you're going to go with delete. But I wonder if including an author/scholar of specialized work in this field doesn't make the encyclopedia just a little bit better? I actually like that it's very short and stubby without and fluff. I don't see how it can be merged to a broader topic. And it seems like a good way to have his books be included in some fashion in our comprehensive resource. Have I lost it completely?

Thanks for the note. I agree with you that there is use in having articles like these (especially for if his work is cited in other articles, so there can be a bluelink in sentences like "According to Rudolf Yanson...."), but unfortunately I don't think usefulness can trump the notability criteria. The notability criteria themselves are not very good, I've come to think, but I don't think it would be right to try to tear them down from the inside by ignoring them in AfDs... I get frustrated, for example, at how WP:ATHLETE is so lax and WP:PROF, comparatively, much stricter, but making that argument during AfDs would be too much like crusading. So I think we have to go according to the current criteria until they are changed by some other means. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs22:17, 20 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-20T22:17:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-20T22:17:00.000Z-ChildofMidnight-2009-11-20T20:53:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Hello, Rjanag, I hope my message to you is not ignored this time. :-) (my feeling was a little hurt). However, I can really not come up with any suitable admin for the matter because you know both GraYoshi2 and Badagnani, and your are an active member of WP:CHINA with experiences in editing food/Chinese culture-related articles. This tendentious edit warring between them has been going on for about 7 months. Regardless of the formed consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_China/Archive/May_2009#Naming_convention_for_Chinese_foods_and_usages_of_Wikitionary, GraYoshi2x has been reverting to exclude the Wiktionary links even though he is the only one against the consensus. I think this long-term revert campaign is indeed spooky and disruptive.[72] (most of them are mere reverts of Badagnani's edit). I have agreed and disagreed with each of the both, but to me, GraYoshi2x wants to pick a fight, so Badagnani who has many block records to be blocked for a longer time. Would you take appropriate action; block or warning anything to stop this silliness.

I'm bringing another problem to your attention since your specialty is in linguistic study. User named Laws dr(talk·contribs·count·logs·page moves·block log·edit summaries) has been inserting WP:Original research to Hardest language over and over and even distorted contents from used books (he claimed he merely re-added somebody's edit). This was pointed out at here on Oct.31, but he recently added his personal opinion referenced with a chatting forum, insisting that his edit is justified. He sporadically edits Wikipedia, but as soon as his added content was deleted today, he appears. I think Law dr is a single purpose account, or alternative account with another account. Would you warn him for his repeated disruption and violations of WP:NOR and WP:SYNTHESIS, and WP:RS and if possible look into the account?

Hello. I am a native Russian speaker and linguist. What we have originally in the article is transliteration with mere elements of transcription (e.g. no vowel reduction is indicated). There is the pronouncing norm of standard Russian in Russia which roughly corresponds to Moscow speech. In this norm there are rules for vowel reduction which are in no way respected in the article. Voiced consanants always become devoiced (with few situational exceptions) at word ending. --Zumrasha (talk) 16:52, 26 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-26T16:52:00.000Z","author":"Zumrasha","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Zumrasha-2009-11-26T16:52:00.000Z-Uyghur_language","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-11-28T16:20:00.000Z-Zumrasha-2009-11-26T16:52:00.000Z"]}}-->
Uyghur is different than Russian, and I am a Uyghur speaker. As for the article, the current consensus is to transcribe the underlying representations (the same as what is written in the word's spelling) rather than the pronunciation details which vary from one dialect to another. If you believe this should be changed, please start a discussion at the article's talk page.

I really hope that when you have more time you will see that I am not at all trying to argue about the Uyghur language. I am interested in and like the language and even try to learn it a little but far be it from me to try to change anything written in the article concerning the Uyghur language before I have any solid data to support the correction. In other words I completely respect the work of all those more knowledgeable people who contibute to the article. If I find any new and proven data on the Uyghur language I will surely contribute but as of now it seems that the article is the most comprehensive one on the subject on the Internet.
The only thing I do not feel comfortable about is the way RUSSIAN words are transcribed in the table. In the said table each foreign word is given along with its native transcription and then follows the Uyghur variant of the loanword with its Uyghur transcription. I only tried to change the RUSSIAN part, i.e. the RUSSIAN transcription for the Russian words, not the Uyghur transcription of the words. And you, as far as I understand it now, think that I'm correcting the Uyghur pronunciation. Not in the least!
Because of this misunderstanding it looks like you are trying to convince me that my Russian transcription for the Russian words is wrong. Now I am not a stubborn man and I do not wish to engage in any kind of "undoing" tug-of-war. But I happen to know standard Russian as my native tongue and I have a linguistic background, so I guess I must know a little about how Russian words are transcribed in the Russian language.
I simply ask you to find some time and take a closer look at the issue. I hope this misunderstanding will soon be cleared. I am really looking forward to having a more fruitful discussion about the Uyghur language proper with you. --Zumrasha (talk) 17:02, 29 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-29T17:02:00.000Z","author":"Zumrasha","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Zumrasha-2009-11-29T17:02:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-28T16:20:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-11-29T18:36:00.000Z-Zumrasha-2009-11-29T17:02:00.000Z"]}}-->

Many could say that the 'snobbery' connected with the use of US dictionary pronunciation guides is just as objectionable. Given that no pronunciation standard is universal among the English-speaking population, why should we use one that you happen to like? Why not use the one that is, from an objective standpoint, the one that reflects the sounds of language the most accurately and is the most widely used in the world (and that's not snobbery, those are facts). IPA is not a "new language" and claiming that people need to learn a new language is an exaggeration; it uses almost all the same letters that are in our alphabet and can be learned in a day, just like the pronunciation guides that you are supporting (remember that when you were in school you had to learn them, too, at some point). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs18:35, 30 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-30T18:35:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-30T18:35:00.000Z-Baseball_Bugs-2009-11-29T16:22:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Probably over 100 links to correct, I think doing it by hand would be quite tedious. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs07:06, 3 December 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-03T07:06:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-12-03T07:06:00.000Z-Rockfang-2009-12-03T06:42:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rockfang-2009-12-03T07:16:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-12-03T07:06:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Actually, wait a second.... before you start, I think there's an easier way to do this!
It looks like most of the links are actually from the same webpage: http://www.sclegacy.com/encyclopedia/starcraft_story.php (archive), just different anchors on that page. So rather than having to look up every link, the majority of them could be fixed by simply concatenating http://web.archive.org/web/20040810213217/ to the front and not worrying about looking them up specifically. I could do this pretty easily on AWB, I think, once I sit down and work out the search terms.
There are a few links that are different; some seem to be at http://www.sclegacy.com/content/starcraft-encyclopedia-4/starcraft-story-17/ instead of the link above. But think I think those ones can be fixed in the same way (just with a different archiveurl stuck on the front). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs20:18, 3 December 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-03T20:18:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-12-03T20:18:00.000Z-Rockfang-2009-12-03T07:16:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rockfang-2009-12-03T20:23:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-12-03T20:18:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->

Yes, but at least one template was using it, and I assume many more are (given that "date2" is an extremely unintuitive name for the field). All templates with |date= and not |date2= were broken; the easier fix by far seemed to be to add date to the template, rather than making text changes to however many articles have the template transcluded. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs00:04, 4 December 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-04T00:04:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-12-04T00:04:00.000Z-Rich_Farmbrough-2009-12-03T21:46:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
I dug around, and it is yet another thing that arises from the date mess. I put my proposals on Template talk:Cite video seems like people have been meaning to get around to this for some time.

I wanted to consult you on the romanization of minority (i.e. Tibetan, Uyghur, Mongolian) place names in China. Is there a system in place sanctioned by the PRC government on how to correctly name these places? The most obvious examples are Urumqi, Hohhot, and Lhasa, but I also refer to county names which are not romanized according to pinyin.

I'm not sure, it seems to vary from place to place and it seems to be more just habit than policy. For example, Kumul in Xinjiang is generally called Kumul by Uyghurs but Hami by Chinese, and most "official" stuff uses Hami (this is one of the relatively few instances where a place has a totally different name for Chinese, rather than just a transliteration); on the other hand, in places you point out like Lhasa and Hohhot, romanizations seem to use the native name more often rather than the Chinese transliteration. Some are less clear (for example, Turpan/Turfan/Tulufan, which someone started an edit war about a few months ago). But long story short, as far as I know there's no unified policy on how to romanize (or, at least, no unified policy that is really followed). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs15:42, 14 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-14T15:42:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-14T15:42:00.000Z-Colipon-2009-11-14T15:35:00.000Z","replies":["c-Colipon-2009-11-14T16:23:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-14T15:42:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
I guess my question really is, how does Wikipedia decide on how to romanize and name things like this.

Hm... that one also might just have to be case-by-case. I think each place's romanization is influenced by a bundle of factors including native word, most common name in English-language materials, and existing standards on WP:
The above table covers only the Uyghur names from the template (and only the ones I'm familiar with). From that sample, though, it becaomes pretty clear that most of the current names (which the exception of Hami) follow more or less the native name, albeit with variations on the romanization. A bit of background on Uyghur romanizations... the one written on the left is the Uyghur Latin Yéziqi that is more or less official among Uyghurs and is closely based on IPA (note the use of Q for uvular stops, X for velar fricatives, etc.), and the one on the right is an alternate (and I think somewhat older) alphabet which is more pinyin-based (note that Q and H are like they are in pinyin). Most of the names in this template seem to follow the pinyin-based romanization more closely (with some changes made to use letters that appear on a normal keyboard--ie, using K instead of K̡, a instead of ə, etc). I don't know if this is a good reflection or not of which spellings are actually more common in the outside world. There are a couple exceptions—for instance, Kashgar, which doesn't use either of the Uyghur romanizations, since it's a more well-known name (compare to how, until relatively recently, people still commonly referred to Guangdong as "Canton"...or to the use of romanizations like "Mao Tse-Tung" even though WG is more or less defunct by now).
It may be helpful to do a larger survey of the Xinjiang placenames on WP... what I've looked at so far is a bit limited, and some may be skewed because of my own influence (for example, "Turpan" breaks the pattern because I moved it away from "Turfan", and "Aksu" and some others almost ended up at "Akesu" and I had to fight with a Chinese nationalist to prevent that from happening). rʨanaɢtalk/contribs21:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-14T21:59:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-11-14T21:59:00.000Z-Colipon-2009-11-14T16:23:00.000Z","replies":["c-Colipon-2009-11-15T21:04:00.000Z-Rjanag-2009-11-14T21:59:00.000Z"],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Thanks for the reply! I've always had trouble deciding what to name these ethnic minority places and deciding which one is more "proper". I will consult you if I come across anything that I cannot figure out. Funny that only Mongolian, Tibetan, and Uyghur names are not Romanized according to pinyin, yet Zhuang and Korean names are.

Let me get back to you on this. I'm quite busy writing final papers now and I have some Ph.d applications I need to send off.

Hello Rjanag,
I am new to editing and decided to add some information to the entry on my home town. I deleted a reference to the estimated depth of the springs because the source I have (and the only published source as far as I know) did not mention who did that depth estimate.
You then changed it back faster than I could blink.
I then put in the missing documentation and left in the shaky claim, which appears to be local legend.
So, beginner that I am, please tell me how I should have handled that. Should I have just noted my reasoning in the notes for the changes, or should I have added a questionable reference with a caveat as I did?

Hello rjanag, I received your message and hereby acknowledge it. Moreover, I checked out your claims and went over several articles you listed in your "good" list. I agree, they are good. You seem to be able to do an article right. I'm impressed. As for the several other admins on the page you say have similar records, I didn't go hunting and don't plan to, so I cannot verify that. However, there is no reason not to take your word for it. You have quite an interesting list of good articles there; I think you can be justly proud of them. I note your interest in the military. I'm interested somewhat in it myself.
In my experience, however, not all sysadmins have the same emphasis on quality. My skepticism derives from a considerable number of negative experiences, where a sysadm (who should have known better) pulled rank to insist on lower-quality material, some totally inaccurate. Some sysadmins have insisted even on doing things in a way inconsistent with WP policy. Basically I was told to shut up with the hinted threat of being blocked. That is the source of my cynicism. You know, I've considered requesting adm status to give me some clout - I think I'm probably qualified at this point - but, actually working on articles appeals to me rather than police work. I suspect, once you get started with administration work, it probably takes a lot of your time. I notice you have had to spend a lot of time doing blocks and deletions and whatnot.
I think I trust your article judgement all right, even though I may have a slightly different view. You don't seem to be exercising it much on the linguistics articles; there are quite a number of bad ones, many of them tagged. I presume that is not your main interest. I think that is how you managed to encounter me. I'm interested in getting some good linguistics articles, so that means I concentrate on the ones of interest that need the most work.
I understand your tone with me, which seems a little high-handed. However, I suppose I could be more civil. Whether I can work on the linguistics article with you - well, I'm not sure now. I note that in your articles you are quite detailed and so am I so I have no doubt we would be disagreeing on many details. The problem is, since you are the sysadm, I would always be losing, always be being reverted, without recourse. That is what I meant about power. I do my best work with a freer hand. Once in a while I get a suggestion from a peer, which I usually take. If I hear from a sysadm it is because I am not setting things up in the accepted way. I'm still learning even though I have thousands of edits now. You aren't presenting yourself to me as a peer. I do not know if that statement qualifies as something good or something bad so I'm choosing to put this under "other."
Well, I'm going on with my edits now. I do not yet know if I will take on helping to clean up the locked article. Let's see how it goes. If you were to take an interest in helping to fix the linguistics artcles that need the most work I think we would advance the cause of good articles in that area much faster. I you disagree with any of my edits be sure and speak up. I'm not going to edit war with you but I can let you know if I disagree. I think I trust your judgement - thanks for bringing it to my attention - but whether I can work in your proximity I think we will have to see.

I just copied this from our recent discussions. If you can point any errors and be able to provide the reasons, please try. And i am interested only in errors and their grammatical reasons, nothing else. Also, if you want, please delete this post onecs you read. Thank you.
In 1, the sentence needs a subject that can correspond the second clause, like--In order to be understood a speech, proper articulation and pronunciation are necessary.
In 6, the correlative conjunction lacks parallelism; needs a parallel NP, like--I was told that I could get both a degree in designing and a position to become a teacher.
The 8 have options on split infinitive, like--When we go to the lake on weekends, I have to sleep either in the car or in a broken down bed.
The 10 is vague in terms of its subordination. An options would be--I have often heard the saying that 'experience is the best teacher'. —Mihkaw napéw (talk) 21:18, 29 December 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-29T21:18:00.000Z","author":"Mihkaw nap\u00e9w","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Mihkaw_nap\u00e9w-2009-12-29T21:18:00.000Z-Can_you_point_one_or_more_errors_on_this?","replies":["c-Rjanag-2009-12-29T21:20:00.000Z-Mihkaw_nap\u00e9w-2009-12-29T21:18:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u2014Mihkaw nap\u00e9w"}}-->

I don't feel strongly either way, but it's a pretty common practice on movies and other fiction articles to include a section where references to the work are mentioned.

In that case, it might help to at least change the title of the section; a single reference in a TV show doesn't seem to constitute a "legacy", especially when the film has probably had a bigger (but less tangible) impact in other ways. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs18:10, 31 December 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-31T18:10:00.000Z","author":"Rjanag","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rjanag-2009-12-31T18:10:00.000Z-Ring_Cinema-2009-12-31T18:05:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"r\u02a8ana\u0262"}}-->
Taxa de fluxo de calor é o quociente da quantidade de calor que atravessa uma superfície durante um intervalo de tempo (fluxo de calor) pela duração desse intervalo. A densidade de taxa de fluxo de calor é o quociente do fluxo de calor que atravessa uma superfície pela área dessa superfície. O calor é energia em fluxo, existindo três mecanismos para ocorrer essa transferência de calor: a condução, a convecção e a radiação.[1] Na condução, a taxa de fluxo de calor é explica...
