Senkaku Islands dispute
Please revisit the point you tried to make about WP:primary sources in the introductory section. Please try to explain again using different words. --Tenmei (talk) 02:19, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I am wrapping up a few issues for Senkaku Islands dispute. Since you are a regular participant of the page in the recent times, it would be appropriate to notify you of the discussion I started. Bobthefish2 (talk) 23:22, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Tolstoy
In part, this is a follow-up to the problems you are helping to resolve at Senkaku Islands and Senkaku Islands dispute. I wonder if you have previously stumbled across this quote?
 * The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him. -- Leo Tolstoy, 1994

For me, this concept has resonance in a variety of Wikipedia settings. These sentences were introduced to me by someone interested in Metonymy and WP:Polling is not a substitute for discussion ≠ WP:Straw poll. Although I still haven't resolved what I think about the context, I do come back again and again to Tolstoy's words. Perhaps these words might be usefully stored in the back of your mind? --Tenmei (talk) 15:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
