change "mitochondrial DNA" to "DNA" in "computational evolutionary biology"

The original post, "trace the evolution of a large number of organisms by measuring changes in their mitochondrial DNA" is incorrect, because some organisms do not even have mitochondria. The mtDNA is commonly used for mammalians. For lower organisms, the DNA sequence of major component of ribosomal RNA are commonly used, including the 16S rRNA for prokaryotes and the 18S rRNA for eukaryotes.

3RR
You are now in violation of 3RR, and are being blocked for 24 hours. Please don't edit war...have the patience to take it to the talk page and discuss it. Clearly you don't have consensus for your changes, and to revert to a July 20 status without consensus is unacceptable.  AK Radecki Speaketh  21:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, people like me do not initiate wars. But if a war comes to us, so be it. Had someone start another war, I, and others like me, will not hesitate to fight it again. In the name of justice, amen. Postdoc 22:47, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Bloody Image with Clear face in Korea War
I am not sure how the voting process will work. If this works very well, the native tribes were not supposed to force leaving their home and toward the death trip. If this works, the native kids in Canada were not supposed to be taken away from their parents and raised in white people's family. These are all require us to assume good faith while being insulted. The voting reflects the idea of majoriy while we are a minority in North America. If the voting fails, I will still try other methods. If one day nothing really help, then that is it. I am not going to give up on this issue, that so many Chinese editors in achieves talked about. Thanks for taking the time, I have fully respect towards you.

 * Frankly, the voting process is a losing battle for minority at Wikipedia, as does it in other places. But as long as the voting process is a transparent process, the voices of the minority can be heard. However, these arguments and voting records can then serve as a testimony in the future, especially when someone claim again these are simply "occasional over-reactions". From this perspective, the communist China censorship is quite a stupid idea after all.  Had not been their block of Wikipedia, this site would be swamped by those patriotic college kids from China. And any voting process would be won by a completely different side.


 * I have only limit time to spend on these kind of activities and prefer to join the foray only when something is outright wrong. As Sunzu said, "pick only the battles that you can win", hehe. Honestly, most wikipedia writings are hopeless and trying to correct them is pointless.


 * I apologize that I don't know how to send this message back to you. Hopefully, you will read this message someday. So long and thanks for dropping by. Postdoc 04:52, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw it. I fully agree with you. We Chinese are largest ethic group in world. And sometimes I feel frustated too, today I got 2 deletion tags of the Xia and Shang dynasty bronze tag, I did send email to the image owner in China to request use these image on wiki and got approval. Every 3 months I will get a deletion tag and have to explain to a new admin. There are so many China phobias here. I am really tired to do this job, maybe I should not come to this website that often. Dongwenliang 00:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Great. You are one of the bravest persons that I have encountered. You are trying to do the right things even when the odds are overwhelmingly against you. You are true to yourself. May this spirit always stay with you. Postdoc 03:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Korean War article question
Quite awhile ago you listed the Korean War article on the Countering Systemic Bias Open Tasks page. I'm updating the list and I wanted to know if you think the article is still missing something. If you think Korean War has improved or still has a problem could you update your comment on the list to say exactly what it needs or if it's ok now? Thank you very much Cloveapple (talk) 19:51, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
