Hello Anthony. I am flattered by your comment and I would be honored to coach you.

Dear sir, I think the information regarding Sanskrit were inserted in purpose by North Indians, which they always do against Tamil language. The talk point of the artile in puposely diverted in every loop corner to give an impression that Tamil laguage evolved or depend on Sanskrit language and scholars. If you carefully read the contributors of those lines its by the North Indian guys. Please try to make this article more closer to truth by removing those diverting passage or make a new one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.101.208.19 ( talk) 21:08, 24 April 2007 (UTC).

Hi Husond, firstly, whatever problems you have in real life, I truly hope you get them sorted. Real life is more important than wikipedia so take as much time as you need off the project. Please let me know if you wish to talk about anything. Secondally, I just saw your reply to Majorly's RfA comment on your oppose, I think it was a very dilligent move, and I am sure you still have Majorly's respect, as you do mine, I hope this helps.....

Hey :). I don't know if you remember, but a while back, you started talking me into considering adminship. I told you I wanted to have more knowledge of the Wikipedia's processes. Well, User:W.marsh told me to consider it again yesterday, and to be honest I am toying with the idea for a few days now. So I was wondering if you could have a look at my recent and past contributions, and tell me how you feel about the whole idea. Finally, if you're thrilled about my contribution and think Wikipedia should not spend a day without me having the tag, would you consider co-nominating me? You're of course under no obligation to do any of this, but I would be honored (even by a constructive "no way" answer, I'm always eager to get feedback!). -- lucasbfr talk 13:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I just saw the Letterkenny Retail Park article. It uses 15 fair use logos to say what stores are in the mall. I'm sure it is a violation of some policy, but I can't seem to find it. I remember reading something about the decorative use of fair use images, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Please help if you can. Thank you.

Since you are a Portuguese masquerading under an Icelandic identity, your accusation of "vandalism" rings distinctly hollow. It is not I who is seeking to undermine the integrity of English Wikipedia, but you.
As you well know:
(1) This is an article about the Autonomous Community of Galicia, a political entity within Spain.
(2) The official name of this entity in BOTH Spanish AND Galician is "Galicia", not "Galiza". As the text further down makes clear, the term "Galiza" (identical to the name of the region in Portuguese) is championed by sectors of Galician nationalism who abhor anything or any term which smacks of "Spanishness".
(3) The version of the article you are seeking to peddle is misleading by virtue of giving the impression that the spelling "Galiza" enjoys some sort of co-official status with "Galicia". It does not.
I do not know whether you are simply ignorant of the true position, or disingenuously giving vent to some anti-Spanish cum Galician nationalist agenda of your own. Either way, please do not insult my intelligence (or that of other English Wikipedia) users by posing as a disinterested or impartial adjudicator on this issue.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.2.108.194 ( talk • contribs).
Hey - just a heads up. I reverted you at Lucasbfr's RfA above because you seemed to have removed what was a legitimate apology to the previous comment. Not sure whether it was an accident or if I missed something? Feel free to revert me if I did. Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 22:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Ah, the above answers a query I was just about to ask re my RfA. I had already noticed from the editors contrib history that there was a lot of supports for a lot of other RfA's, so I thought it may have been that. Anyhow, I'm cool. LessHeard vanU 12:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Husond has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, Love, A record of your Day will always be kept here. |
Dearest Husond, I'm totally at a loss of words to express to you how speechless I am at the breathtaking poem you've gifted me, not to mention you warm and kind message - it was totally unexpected, and I will cherish it for life. You had no way to know this, but your selection of Luís de Camões for me is wonderful and most apt, since he's by far my favorite Portuguese poet! Whenever I read the opening words for Canto I, I get shivers by feeling, almost physically, the great words, the great meanings that stem from it... Arms and the heroes, who from Lisbon's shore, through seas where sail was never spread before, Beyond where Ceylon lifts her spicy breast, And waves her woods above the watery waste, With prowess more than human forced their way, To the fair kingdoms of the rising day... What wars they waged, what seas, what dangers passed, What glorious empire crowned their toils at last?... *shivers!*
It is beautiful and inspiring to meet you, and that our first interactions has been so amazing. I'm sure there's much we can share, and talk about, and I won't let my eagerness and lack of sleep ruin it... so please, do open your mailbox later, will you please? :) Love, Phaedriel - 08:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I was curious how you decided there was no consensus when there was about 60% in favor of the move just on raw votes alone. Furthermore, clearly some of the votes for Dokdo had no reason listed (just a signature) or were not in line with policy. By the rules, these should be discounted. It seems that with far fewer than 40% in favor of keeping it, the result is there is no consensus for it to stay--exactly how high of a bar do we need if 60% isn't enough even when we do consider the votes that aren't according to policy? — LactoseTI T 17:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Your criteria which is "the rocks are, as stated, under actual possession of the Republic of Korea" is very dangerous for the peace of the world. With this, the solution by "Military power" is demanded. Status by the United Nations is "Sovereignty Unsettled." [3] This criteria violates International Law [4] and Charter of the United Nations, too.-- Opp2 23:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW by Ian Brownlie P148
- First, it would be better if the principle were expressed as one of acquiescence, since, if a pierce of territory were occupied by an aggressor, the 'prescribing' state would have a peaceful and uninterrupted possession, but there would be no acquiescence.
- The second problem is to decide what suffices to prevent possession from being peaceful and uninterrupted. In principle the answer is clear: any conduct indicating a lack of acquiescence. Thus protests will be sufficient. In the Chamizal arbitration United states claimed, as against Mexico (SYC.) Furthermore, possession must be peaceable to provide a basis for prescription, and, in the opinion of the Commissioners, diplomatic protests by Mexico prevented title arising. A failure to take action which might lead to violence could not be held to jeopardize Mexican rights.
- Textbook on International Law by Martin Dixon
- The exercise of state power over territory must be peaceful in the sense that it is not challenged by other states.
- Korea has been unreceptive to Japan's initiatives to submit the dispute to the ICJ, saying that there is no dispute to resolve. This position may be viewed later by a tribunal as inconsistent with the obligation of every state to resolve disputes peaceably, and Korea may be asked to explain whether the ICJ was in some way an inadequate or unfair forum. [5]PP23
Thank you for your comment and decision. I hope that territorial disputes all over the world to be solved by ICJ and International law for peace.-- Opp2 01:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for bearing with me on this. I really appreciate you taking the time to read my comments rather than just brushing me off (you probably could and no one but me would notice, so I really thank you for this).
You stated you believed the world more universally recognizes this as Dokdo than other names. On what did you base this? Dokdo is essentially just as well known as Takeshima, the Japanese name. You surely saw the section that all other encyclopedias we could find refer to it as Liancourt Rocks. So do government entities. Newspapers generally say, "Dokdo in Korean, Liancourt Rocks in English," if they bother to mention the English name at all. You admit that Liancourt Rocks is more neutral than "picking sides," but would rather choose a less neutral name even though fewer than about 25% of the established users (over 100 votes) gave any valid vote for Dokdo.
You also said the vote had gone into the backlog, but on the RM page itself it says if a consensus isn't clear it should be relisted at the top by an admin (in other words, if there is even a chance of a consensus coming out of it). Why did you choose not to do this and give it another few days to develop? You seem that you felt it was conclusive that no consensus would develop, regardless of the fact that about 75% of the valid votes were for Liancourt Rocks. Only around 40% of the votes including the non-established editors (but not single purpose accounts) were for the side you chose. They moved the editors that had < 50 votes, but that's only because they were blatantly obvious. I assumed the admin would take the time to evaluate the remaining ones and disregard those with < 100, per custom. It seems very clear that a consensus was developing, and rather than accept or promote one from developing by moving the RM to the top, you simply aborted the work that was done.
I can't find any naming section that talks about physical control. Perhaps you could point me to it? I guess the places like West Bank are misnamed then, since there are English names used by the group that controls them.
I might add that you are the first administrator to hold this opinion on the Dokdo page. Since all administrators except you who looked at this poll enough to consider a position disagree with you, in deference to them, I might suggest you try something else rather than just close down the work that has been done. Perhaps relisting it (which is even suggested on the RM page itself for admins to do in cases like this) with your opinion and recusing yourself from closing it again. At this point I seriously doubt you have a political agenda, but this would let two separate admins evaluate this topic. It's very clear that far more than the normal number of users voted in this RM. Correspondingly, extra consideration should be given to closing it. — LactoseTI T 02:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Husond, I appreciate your efforts in the closing of this poll. I hate to bring this up (because it makes things more complicated), but some sockpuppets were confirmed in the following report:
Lions3639 appears to have also written an article in The Chosun Ilbo newspaper, soliciting for votes outside of Wikipedia.-- Endroit 07:51, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey :). I don't know if you remember, but a while back, you started talking me into considering adminship. I told you I wanted to have more knowledge of the Wikipedia's processes. Well, User:W.marsh told me to consider it again yesterday, and to be honest I am toying with the idea for a few days now. So I was wondering if you could have a look at my recent and past contributions, and tell me how you feel about the whole idea. Finally, if you're thrilled about my contribution and think Wikipedia should not spend a day without me having the tag, would you consider co-nominating me? You're of course under no obligation to do any of this, but I would be honored (even by a constructive "no way" answer, I'm always eager to get feedback!). -- lucasbfr talk 13:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I just saw the Letterkenny Retail Park article. It uses 15 fair use logos to say what stores are in the mall. I'm sure it is a violation of some policy, but I can't seem to find it. I remember reading something about the decorative use of fair use images, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Please help if you can. Thank you.

I refer to your message.
Since you are a Portuguese masquerading under an Icelandic identity, your accusation of "vandalism" rings distinctly hollow. It is not I who is seeking to undermine the integrity of English Wikipedia, but you.
As you well know:
(1) This is an article about the Autonomous Community of Galicia, a political entity within Spain.
(2) The official name of this entity in BOTH Spanish AND Galician is "Galicia", not "Galiza". As the text further down makes clear, the term "Galiza" (identical to the name of the region in Portuguese) is championed by sectors of Galician nationalism who abhor anything or any term which smacks of "Spanishness".
(3) The version of the article you are seeking to peddle is misleading by virtue of giving the impression that the spelling "Galiza" enjoys some sort of co-official status with "Galicia". It does not.
I do not know whether you are simply ignorant of the true position, or disingenuously giving vent to some anti-Spanish cum Galician nationalist agenda of your own. Either way, please do not insult my intelligence (or that of other English Wikipedia) users by posing as a disinterested or impartial adjudicator on this issue.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.2.108.194 ( talk • contribs).
Hey - just a heads up. I reverted you at Lucasbfr's RfA above because you seemed to have removed what was a legitimate apology to the previous comment. Not sure whether it was an accident or if I missed something? Feel free to revert me if I did. Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 22:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Ah, the above answers a query I was just about to ask re my RfA. I had already noticed from the editors contrib history that there was a lot of supports for a lot of other RfA's, so I thought it may have been that. Anyhow, I'm cool. LessHeard vanU 12:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Husond has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, Love, A record of your Day will always be kept here. |
Dearest Husond, I'm totally at a loss of words to express to you how speechless I am at the breathtaking poem you've gifted me, not to mention you warm and kind message - it was totally unexpected, and I will cherish it for life. You had no way to know this, but your selection of Luís de Camões for me is wonderful and most apt, since he's by far my favorite Portuguese poet! Whenever I read the opening words for Canto I, I get shivers by feeling, almost physically, the great words, the great meanings that stem from it... Arms and the heroes, who from Lisbon's shore, through seas where sail was never spread before, Beyond where Ceylon lifts her spicy breast, And waves her woods above the watery waste, With prowess more than human forced their way, To the fair kingdoms of the rising day... What wars they waged, what seas, what dangers passed, What glorious empire crowned their toils at last?... *shivers!*
It is beautiful and inspiring to meet you, and that our first interactions has been so amazing. I'm sure there's much we can share, and talk about, and I won't let my eagerness and lack of sleep ruin it... so please, do open your mailbox later, will you please? :) Love, Phaedriel - 08:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I really didn't mind the block, considering I couldn't edit during the time anyway. I just wish you woulda warned me first.-- Tempest115 19:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the welcome, and I've decided I'm not going to use my tools wisely but I'm going to take over the world. Well anyway back to reality. Cheers for the support and any insider tips of what to do, what not to do please let me know. I have no intention of going flying into using the tools, though I will certainly honour my pledges within the RfA, most problem within CSD, so only help would be appreciated. Cheers again.

Husond, you originally blocked me on March 8 for comments I made toward Kemor in my edit summaries. Canadien Caeser than blocked indefinately blocked me. I've been blocked for over 2months and Caeser hasnt been around in a month. My Feud with Kemor is over and I've learned my lesson. Being that you originally blocked me, I'm respectfully asking you to unblock me. Payne2thamax
Hi Husond,

Hello, Husond. Thank you so much for your kind support in my recent Rfa, it succeeded! I feel thrilled to have earned your confidence and hope to live up to your expectations. Please let me know if I ever mess up :) Best wishes, PeaceNT 05:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Many thanks for your support at my RFA. It ended successfully and I am now a glorified janitor. If I can be of any assistance please don't hesitate to contact me through my talk page. Happy editing! — Ocatecir Talk 18:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I was curious how you decided there was no consensus when there was about 60% in favor of the move just on raw votes alone. Furthermore, clearly some of the votes for Dokdo had no reason listed (just a signature) or were not in line with policy. By the rules, these should be discounted. It seems that with far fewer than 40% in favor of keeping it, the result is there is no consensus for it to stay--exactly how high of a bar do we need if 60% isn't enough even when we do consider the votes that aren't according to policy? — LactoseTI T 17:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Your criteria which is "the rocks are, as stated, under actual possession of the Republic of Korea" is very dangerous for the peace of the world. With this, the solution by "Military power" is demanded. Status by the United Nations is "Sovereignty Unsettled." [3] This criteria violates International Law [4] and Charter of the United Nations, too.-- Opp2 23:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW by Ian Brownlie P148
- First, it would be better if the principle were expressed as one of acquiescence, since, if a pierce of territory were occupied by an aggressor, the 'prescribing' state would have a peaceful and uninterrupted possession, but there would be no acquiescence.
- The second problem is to decide what suffices to prevent possession from being peaceful and uninterrupted. In principle the answer is clear: any conduct indicating a lack of acquiescence. Thus protests will be sufficient. In the Chamizal arbitration United states claimed, as against Mexico (SYC.) Furthermore, possession must be peaceable to provide a basis for prescription, and, in the opinion of the Commissioners, diplomatic protests by Mexico prevented title arising. A failure to take action which might lead to violence could not be held to jeopardize Mexican rights.
- Textbook on International Law by Martin Dixon
- The exercise of state power over territory must be peaceful in the sense that it is not challenged by other states.
- Korea has been unreceptive to Japan's initiatives to submit the dispute to the ICJ, saying that there is no dispute to resolve. This position may be viewed later by a tribunal as inconsistent with the obligation of every state to resolve disputes peaceably, and Korea may be asked to explain whether the ICJ was in some way an inadequate or unfair forum. [5]PP23
Thank you for your comment and decision. I hope that territorial disputes all over the world to be solved by ICJ and International law for peace.-- Opp2 01:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for bearing with me on this. I really appreciate you taking the time to read my comments rather than just brushing me off (you probably could and no one but me would notice, so I really thank you for this).
You stated you believed the world more universally recognizes this as Dokdo than other names. On what did you base this? Dokdo is essentially just as well known as Takeshima, the Japanese name. You surely saw the section that all other encyclopedias we could find refer to it as Liancourt Rocks. So do government entities. Newspapers generally say, "Dokdo in Korean, Liancourt Rocks in English," if they bother to mention the English name at all. You admit that Liancourt Rocks is more neutral than "picking sides," but would rather choose a less neutral name even though fewer than about 25% of the established users (over 100 votes) gave any valid vote for Dokdo.
You also said the vote had gone into the backlog, but on the RM page itself it says if a consensus isn't clear it should be relisted at the top by an admin (in other words, if there is even a chance of a consensus coming out of it). Why did you choose not to do this and give it another few days to develop? You seem that you felt it was conclusive that no consensus would develop, regardless of the fact that about 75% of the valid votes were for Liancourt Rocks. Only around 40% of the votes including the non-established editors (but not single purpose accounts) were for the side you chose. They moved the editors that had < 50 votes, but that's only because they were blatantly obvious. I assumed the admin would take the time to evaluate the remaining ones and disregard those with < 100, per custom. It seems very clear that a consensus was developing, and rather than accept or promote one from developing by moving the RM to the top, you simply aborted the work that was done.
I can't find any naming section that talks about physical control. Perhaps you could point me to it? I guess the places like West Bank are misnamed then, since there are English names used by the group that controls them.
I might add that you are the first administrator to hold this opinion on the Dokdo page. Since all administrators except you who looked at this poll enough to consider a position disagree with you, in deference to them, I might suggest you try something else rather than just close down the work that has been done. Perhaps relisting it (which is even suggested on the RM page itself for admins to do in cases like this) with your opinion and recusing yourself from closing it again. At this point I seriously doubt you have a political agenda, but this would let two separate admins evaluate this topic. It's very clear that far more than the normal number of users voted in this RM. Correspondingly, extra consideration should be given to closing it. — LactoseTI T 02:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Husond, I appreciate your efforts in the closing of this poll. I hate to bring this up (because it makes things more complicated), but some sockpuppets were confirmed in the following report:
Lions3639 appears to have also written an article in The Chosun Ilbo newspaper, soliciting for votes outside of Wikipedia.-- Endroit 07:51, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, could you reconsider your 62.5% (nobody agreed at that, Endroit brought that up in discussion long time ago) turn for Liancourt Rocks because I found 3 invalid votes for Liancourt Rocks. ( Wikimachine 17:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
An editor gave you an award here in which they made some pretty uncivil assertions against groups of people. i went ahead and reverted it, however you are welcome to replace it should you feel it was appropriate. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
