thank you Publico2020 (talk) 15:29, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Especially given we are still learning how to submit, edit and many other things on Wikipedia.

Also, not sure how to fully categorize, or create charts, in various categories (Hmong, Laos, Vietnam War, Important Hmong-American and Lao-American people, War in Laos, military history, Laos Civil War etc)Publico2020 (talk) 15:34, 19 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Impressive. I've had a look as a signed-up article reviewer, and the main issues I can see, which probably won't affect the notability or referencing of the subject or the acceptance of the article, are that references are not spaced out (that is, you don't put a space between punctuation and reference or between two references placed together), and it would be good to use Template:Cite web to format the references properly so the urls are tidied away into templated references. Other than that, I'm not seeing an issue, but then again be warned I haven't delved into the details of the article or its sources (and am more of a copy-editor than a content-creator, so may be missing something else).


 * As for the charts, I have no idea on that, but someone else will no doubt be along shortly. Good luck with getting the article accepted. (On a related note, I have a question of my own: as a relatively new reviewer, is it acceptable to edit drafts at AfC for copy-editing reasons, or should those be left alone for an original contributor to fix?)

 * And I do think it'd be better if you trimmed down unnecessary links in See also section.--Chamith (talk) 05:25, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * @Publico2020-I note with interest that you have been referring to yourself with "we" and "our", implying that your account may be shared by multiple persons. Please be aware that user accounts are supposed to represent your contributions as an individual, and for this reason, role accounts that are shared by multiple people are against Wikipedia policy. One especially important thing to know is that if you represent an organization or a company, you should avoid or be extremely cautious about editing articles affiliated with your organization. The reason for this is because you may have a conflict of interest for those subjects, meaning that you may find it difficult to write from a neutral point of view. Without intentionally doing so, editors tend to write biased content in the subjects they have a conflict of interest in. With regards to your draft, it looks pretty good. There are a few formatting errors that can be fixed through general editing. The ultimate question that will determine whether or not it will be accepted is whether or not the subject is notable—topics are generally notable when they have received significant coverage from reliable sources. This means that the quality of the sources you provide are essential for the submission's success. Mz7 (talk) 05:51, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * @Mz7 - good point. Having looked at the article, there are a few issues, but nothing really that suggests a COI issue or is overly promotional (or which couldn't be overcome by a bit of judicious editing once it goes live). Most of what is mentioned - absent the OTT See also section that Chamith notes - is noteworthy and is about someone who assisted in law-making to assist the naturalisation of various individuals involved in the Vietnam War, rather than about a company or organisation which is outside the scope of the project. However, Publico2020 does need to note the policy on shared accounts. LouiseS1979 (talk) 10:19, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * @Publico2020, Lstanley1979-Taking note of the above, I have gone ahead and Accepted the submission and moved it to Cherzong Vang. Publico2020, thank you for you contributions to Wikipedia! I would recommend you read the advice above carefully, and if you have any further questions, feel free to come back to the Teahouse! Happy editing, Mz7 (talk) 17:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Dear LouiseS1979, Chamith, Mz7,

Thank you for the comments, suggestions, feedback and help.

I appreciate it. I am a new user and still learning. With regard to "we" and "our", I am the only one using the account. I am married, so sometimes forget to write things in the singular, especially around Christmas when signing Christmas cards, etc. Thank you again. I am still learning about Wikipedia and how to do things, seems like there is a lot to know. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year. Very grateful for your help in trying to understanding these matters regarding my request & questions.

 * You're welcome . Feel free ask on my talk page or Teahouse if you have further question. And happy holidays to you too-- Chamith  (talk)  03:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi
The reason why I took stuff off was because back then, the City of Empire Bay looked like New York and Boston. Didn't look much like Chicago or Los Angeles back in the day. Lost Heaven looked more like Chicago though, as well as San Francisco. Lol --Dizzzer (talk) 20:10, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Well then it's original research. You can't just change information in an encyclopedia as you please . Then this wouldn't be an encyclopedia.-- Chamith  (talk)  02:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Ariana Grande list of awards
Dear ChamithN, please do not put up another photo of Ariana Grande for her list of awards table instead of the one previously placed. The picture belongs there and it is considered vandalism when you keep changing the picture for the List of awards and nominations received by Ariana Grande. If that is a problem for you, you can discuss it at Talk: Ariana Grande with other users. User:JoyUnity


 * You clearly dont know what vandalism is. If you are going to change something like infobox picture of an article you have to discuss about it on that article's talk page Before Changing the image. You didn't do this and you kept re-adding that image without even providing and edit summary (which is related to Shrek premier and in my opinion has nothing to do with her musical career). Just like mine, you have to seek other editors opinion before changing the infobox image of an article. You are already marked as a diruptive editor by other editors. So I'm going to give you a one last warning. I don't have to discuss anything because I'm being WP:BOLD and reverted your unexplained edits. As you are the one who changed the original image on the first place you have to discuss about it on the talk page. If you changed the image again without a proper consensus you will be blocked from editing. Thank you.-- Chamith   (talk)  06:27, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Dear ChamithN please stop repeatedly harassing me about a picture on Ariana Grande's List of awards and nominations received by Ariana Grande. It isn't considered vandalism when it comes to a picture on its page and it shouldn't madder. I have warned you to discuss this on Talk:Ariana Grande but your refusing any of my help even when needed most. You have a lot of nerve from threatening me to actually trying to block me. The correct picture was mistakably removed by an anonymous user and I put up the other picture and now that I've fixed that problem you're not helping by putting up the wrong picture. Please stop rudely harassing me or I will need to get other users involved. Please do not make me warn you again or next time I will actually try to block you. There is also no talk page that I'm familiar with that you are referring to. I am going to let this go but if you EVER do something as annoying and rude as this, or leave anything on my talk page again I will make sure your membership on Wikipedia will be destroyed.

 * Harassing you? Seriously? If that's harassing then we've got no other way to notify users about disruption they cause to Wikipedia. And yes it does matter when it comes to the picture. If someone keep adding the same picture repeatedly ignoring other editor's reversions and if he is not willing to participate in a discussion then it's considered disruptive. If not everyone would add pictures to articles as they please. And I wasn't threatening you I only warned you not to make the same mistake again and again. I don't have to discuss anything on Talk:Ariana Grande because that's not the article I'm referring to, and you were the one to change the image in the first place, so it's your job to start a discussion. You perfectly know it's List of awards and nominations received by Ariana_Grande. And I asked you multiple times to start a discussion on Talk:List of awards and nominations received by Ariana Grande before changing the image. But you didn't even provide an edit summary for edits. Sorry what? Destroy my Wikipedia membership? Good luck with that. . Also I've open a case regarding this on Administrator noticeboard. Feel free to comment there. Thank you and be civil. And also sign your posts.-- Chamith   (talk)  08:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

You know what ChamithN you should be nicer to people and then maybe you won't feel the need to take things this far. You don't have to be so rude, maybe you can be generous enough to not make this big of a deal about a picture. Oh, and you were harassing me by the way, you did not ask nicely even once 😝 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyunity (talk • contribs) 08:35, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if you feel that way. I was just following Wikipedia guidelines. Without them this place wouldn't be an encyclopedia. I really didn't want to take this dispute to admins noticeboard, until you left a message on my talk page saying that I vandalized the page. At that moment I knew I have to seek admin help to deal with this situation. I won't comment further about this situation and I'll try my best to be nice to new users like you. Cheers.-- Chamith   (talk)  08:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
