Substitution Reminder
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When using certain templates on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:uw-test1&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.  Alxeedo  TALK

Comment out The Universe of Myron Evans
Hello. You commented out the content of The Universe of Myron Evans with the edit summary, "comment out for legal reasons". I presume that this has something to do with the communication at Talk:The Universe of Myron Evans, but I'm not entirely clear on the legal reasons you allude to. If you could offer fuller discussion either here or elsewhere, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Cnilep (talk) 14:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Charles McDonald
Fine, can you actually try to be helpful then and go to the pages that link to Charles M. McDonald and pipe them to Charles McDonald (Canadian politician)? In future, see what links to a page before trying to delete it. It's not a disambiguation page, it's a redirect. Dogged mayor (talk) 00:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I removed the speedy tag because I don't think there's a need to delete the redirect. Having extra redirect pages around doesn't really hurt the encyclopedia (and we're not supposed to worry about performance, server load, etc.), and in general the more redirects the better&mdash;as long as it's not a malicious or totally useless redirect, if it helps one user find the article they're looking for then it's served its purpose. As for this one, I think it is a plausible search term (people's middle initials are used a lot, so someone might search for the name as spelled that way), and I don't see any other Charles M McDonalds around, so I don't think there's any harm in having it. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 03:57, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * oh... good. I was worried about "cluttering"... but alright. Seb az86556 (talk) 04:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think the possible downsides of clutter are outweighed by the benefits of having as many redirects as possible (somewhere around here there is a user essay that basically argues there should be infinity redirects and deleted articles should be replaced with redirects whenever possible...I don't remember whose it is, though). For example, I have Sandra A. Thompson which redirects to Sandra Thompson (linguist), and both get about the same number of hits on average even though the parentheses version has more incoming links...this is probably because book and journal publications tend to use the name with the middle initial, and people might copy-paste that in when searching WP. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 04:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

My edit
Hi, you reverted my edit on South Korea because you thought that I didn't explain my intention. But it was just a small edit to clean unnecessary information about the History of Korea. I fix incorrect names of people such as "General Li", which is not correct, because it is discrepant with Korean romanization. The article is not major about Korean history, Joseon Dynasty. For that reason, I believed that the edit it not controversial. I hope you understand me and please revert your edit. Thank you.--Historiographer (talk) 23:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

This is my first Wikipedia article (long time reader – first time author). I have been working on this article in the sandbox for a few days and still seem to be missing something. Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 * As A first step, I would remove the "®"'s to make it look less like an ad. I changed the speedy delete tag to "Underconstruction" which gives you more time and protects you from further tags for a while :). Twitter-links and such are very bad signs (there's even a bot that kicks out anything from facebook and myspace). GIM and GISS are cool as references, but the last one is the company itself - good as "external link" but not as reference. Seb az86556 (talk) 22:14, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The "table" is called an "infobox" in wikispeak. I'll find the "infobox company" and paste it into the article. You'll need to provide the information line-by-line. If you can't find into for a particular line, just leave it blank. A full descrption on what the lines are for is here: Template:Infobox Company

Asking for your opinion
I have a question for you. As an impartial editor, what do you make of pictures like being slapped onto the "organ harvesting" article on Wikipedia? To me, it's just more attempts at activism thru sensationalism. Colipon+ (Talk) 05:29, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I am skeptical indeed. a) I checked the source - it's non-free from organharvesting.net and definitely a partisan source. b) Showing the victim isn't the problem to me (but only *1* such photo please!)-- the juxtaposition of "before and after" makes it a bad soap-opera. If we could crop it to get rid of that smiling guy in the suit, and simply show an unknown body, that might be ok. Seb az86556 (talk) 05:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If you could raise the issue on the talk page it would be good. I feel as though if I raised it I will just get a few more personal attacks hurled my way. :) Colipon+ (Talk) 05:45, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * This accusation is most certainly unfounded. I have worked for a long time with Seb on these problematic Urumqi riots articles and he has been a very helpful good faith editor in all areas. Colipon+ (Talk) 06:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about this; it's not uncommon for people to issue "vandalism" warnings to editors they disagree with, especially when they don't understand Wikipedia. A vandalism warning from a POV-pushing useless editor like this is pretty much meaningless. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 13:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Falun Gong
As someone who myself was only called in about a week ago by Vassayana, I have to agree with you. The problem is, I think, that those of us who are "new arrivals" don't yet necessarily know which editors act inappropriately most often, and given the length of the talk page archives, I kinda doubt anyone is going to subject themselves to making a full review anytime soon. I do think that there is one possible enforcement request in the pipeline, and, whether that party is one of the worst offenders or not, seeing someone penalized might help keep the others from getting overexcited too often. John Carter (talk) 16:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Basically, four SPA's took over all the Falun Gong articles and they will not tolerate any material that is not favourable towards Falun Gong (similar to earlier disputes at Scientology). You can find out more here under the heading "Additional comments". Enjoy. Colipon+ (Talk) 19:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I personally don't know about filibustering, but I'm quite confident that these four users have all violated their share of policies to get their way since the June 2007 arbitration.


 * What's more interesting is that they are good at making the situation look as though it's a pro-FLG, anti-FLG war, confusing newcomers to these pages like yourself. In reality it's just neutral editors (like OhConfucius) fed up with their cycle of advocacy. It's somewhat analagous as to - say - if Uyghur extremists went and took over the article on the July 2009 Urumqi riots so only content that favours them can make it onto the page. :) Anyhow, balanced input from users like you or John Carter is very valuable. Colipon+ (Talk) 20:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * @Colipon: While I agree there are far-reaching problems with the handling of FLG articles, I would caution against labeling all these users SPAs. I'm not familiar with all of them, but I know the Asdfg12345 has edited things other than this; while his edits may be 90% FLG-related, I know he's also worked on other general Chinese culture pages (not to mention he once AfD'ed Masanjia Labor Camp, which is not something you'd expect from someone who is a blind FLG follower, given that pretty much all of these RTL-related articles are anti-China).
 * Furthermore, all of these editors, while they might have strong opinions and might not always be easy to work with, are still human beings and can even be reasonable people if you get through to them in the right way: for example, just today, HappyInGeneral agreed that a pro-FLG peacock word in an article was not helpful, and OlafStephanos undid his own edit in that article because of the comments left at the talk page. My point is, these editors might not be your favorite people, but they are still capable of behaving maturely, and that needs to be taken into account.
 * Finally, it is important to recognize the difference between bad SPAs and maybe not-so-bad SPAs. A bad SPA is someone who only comes to Wikipedia to keep trying to create some article that doesn't belong, or to argue the same point over and over (i.e., ChinaHistorian), or vandalize, or make the same edit forever. On the other hand, some people might not consider themselves SPAs, but are just people with a strong interest in one topic and, since people naturally only want to edit what they're interested in, these editors stick to a certain group of articles. For example, some editors I have worked with (such as Kwamikagami, Maunus, and Angr) are linguists and spend most of their time editing linguistics or language articles; that doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them people who are contributing to the areas they are interested in and have expertise in. The Wikipedia ethos tends to give people this idea that to be a good editor someone has to be a real renaissance man and edit a wide variety of articles or do a wide variety of tasks (take me, for example&mdash;I have written articles about linguistics, street newspapers, Chinese law, and musicians...and aside from that I do speedy deletions and template coding), but that really should not be the case. While it's great if you're a renaissance man and work on a bunch of different sort of articles at once, it is by no means a requirement. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 21:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your input, Rjanag. It is well taken. I do think, though, that working on these articles in the last month and dealing with the frustrations is enough for me to conclude that I can no longer assume good faith from several editors. An edit or two from these users that appear to be good-natured is not enough to convince me that any solid improvements will materialize. The problem is extremely chronic, and it has been over two years since someone stood up to do something about it. In my view, the only solution now is arbitration enforcement. Just like how the Urumqi riots article was one of my best collaborative experiences here on Wikipedia, Falun Gong has been undoubtedly my worst. Colipon+ (Talk) 22:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Filibustering
Nosy bastard, aren't I? The closest thing I can find which addresses this point is WP:NOTUNANIMITY, which is only an essay. I tend to think that to determine there is a block of partisans who will uniformly act like partisans unfortunately is harder to do, and should only even be attempted by mediators or arbitrators. However, if there are a number of neutral outsiders who find that a fairly consistent block of apparent partisans seem to be acting to stonewall things, and they outnumber the partisans, then it might be possible to either establish that the one group is partisan, or, hopefully, perhaps persuade them to end the stonewalling. John Carter (talk) 20:37, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem, thanks for being nosy. It just seems peculiar to me that said group spent the past hours lamenting the injustice of the protection ("Wrong Version"), keeps hauling slight insults at people ("raging bull", "anti-FLG"), and keeps discussing that at lenghth with hardly any comment on substance. If that continues, they'll buy time until August 22 and then just go on as usual. Seb az86556 (talk) 20:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Worst case scenario, if it seems obvious that there are a number of individuals who appear to be engaging in disruptive editing as per WP:DE, the sanctions currently in place could be imposed on them. I have a feeling that if anyone were looking to try to get disciplinary measures imposed on a group of editors, though, the arbitration enforcement people would be looking for a solid case to be prresented to them regarding each individual included.

Gibraltar
Hello. I'd just like to point out that, unlike the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar is not 'contested'. Spain does not dispute that Gibraltar is properly, in law, British territory. Therefore, Gibraltar is not a 'contested territory'. Spain maintains a political claim to the return of Gibraltar sovereignty, but does not dispute the fact that in proper international law, she ceded sovereignty to Britain in perpetuity (see the Treaty of Utrecht). However, both Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands are British Overseas Territories so your analogy (about being "self-governing") is still valid.

Hi, it seems like an entire template requesting Cherokee language translation with a red link is a bit excessive. There is a Cherokee Wikipedia, if you would care to contribute to that project. The word you included in the template, ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯ is "Aniyvwiya", which means "Native American" or "American Indian." -Uyvsdi (talk) 18:17, 16 August 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * Yeah, ᏣᎳᎩ makes the most sense, since it describes the language and the people. ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯᎢ, Aniyvwiya?i means "Principal People" but Tsalagi is much more commonly used. I just checked and I see that some Hebrew, Japanese, and Coptic words are written in their respective scripts in the English wikipedia, and Cyrillic is sometimes used but not always. Guess it is a case-by-case basis for rendering in non-Roman scripts. Cheers, -Uyvsdi

My concern is that, by telling the author that the article is nonsense (which I don't think it is), we are being unfair to the author and missing an opportunity to address the real issue, i.e., that Wikipedia is not a forum for essays that promote a particular point of view. If Justinthyme11 takes that to heart (and works on writing skills), Justinthyme11 could possibly become someone who contributes to Wikipedia in a positive way.

As you suggested on my talk page, I did the AfD nomination. Thanks for the help and support. I really appreciate it! Peter Chastain (talk) 09:37, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I saw that you tagged that page with db attack. While I think it should be speedy a7, I don't see how it is an attack on her. The Weak Willed 11:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Notability in the lead
I don't really agree. Of course lead sections that are short can be expanded, but the purpose is to give an overview. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello! First of all, please try to avoid blatant anachronisms and disputable claims like Brezalauspurc, changes like this won't help, they will only exacerbate the tension. Other than that thanks for your involvement. Yes, Nmate is indeed somewhat obsessive about the slovak articles and tends to overreact. A Hungarian with a tad overdeveloped sense of nationalism I'd say.<span style="font-size:120%;font-style:italic; color:#fff;font-weight:bold; height:20px; background-color:#c00; margin-right:1px"> w  lad  14:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Amazing Baby
Hi! The current amazing baby page is clearly being manipulated by someone closely affiliated with them for advertising/publicity purposes, many of their reviews are scathing, and while that does not constitute a page that reflects them in a negative light, the current page, especially the critical reception area is deceptively positive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JrBiggs (talk • contribs) 02:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I realize that. I have just requested semi-protection. If/When it's approved, some well-meaning people can argue over what to write there on the talkpage. Right now, it's a war I'm trying to have some admins get under control. I happened to stumble over this during recent changes patrol. Seb az86556 (talk) 02:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info, let me know if I can help in anyway. Clearly music is very subjective, but a thorough search through many of their reviews and blogs written about them will prove that popular opinion does not coincide with what is currently published there. All the best, Jrbiggs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JrBiggs (talk • contribs) 02:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Persecution of Falun Gong in the People's Republic of China
Dear Seb az86556,

Thank you kindly for correcting my orthographic spelling mistake. You summarised your good effort of interchanging the two letters (thereby correcting the offending word to its intended meaning) leaving the following edit summary:

if you wanna change it, at least spel it correctly

I look forward to a future cooperation improving the quality of this encyclopedia, through good efforts and adequate interpersonal interaction.

Yours, Mootros (talk) 15:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I know. And I misspelled "spel"... :P Seb az86556 (talk) 15:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
