Thanks for making an account- assuming you are the previous IP98 from ITN. Bzweebl ( talk • contribs) 00:28, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
I see you nominated this article for ITN. Given the opposition I have nominated it for DYK, and listed those editors who contributed what I could see was at least 1000 bytes in the nomination. If you think you have contributed enough to be listed as an author let me know here or on the article talk page and I will add you. μηδείς ( talk) 02:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
For your good faith edit on ITN. I have no problem with opposition to the nomination or the proposed change. Very classy of you. μηδείς ( talk) 22:30, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. I just wanted to offer you some advice - it is prohibited to edit whilst logged out in a way which is intended to deceive the community. In this case, a concern has been raised that you are editing whilst logged out in order to hide the anti-China sentiment described on your user page. If you continue this, you will be blocked from editing. Regards Basalisk inspect damage⁄ berate 15:21, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
I have apologised in a more public place for throwing out COI, which was indeed unjustified.
Nevertheless, I do believe that given your evident default position of opposing anything that is in any way positive about China, it is incumbent on you to declare your prejudices in making your !vote. While I am happy to believe that it is not malevolent or intended to deceive, it still has that effect. Even if it does not meet the first definition of wikt:dissimulation, your conduct does meet the second. Kevin McE ( talk) 11:14, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

It's not about what I find interesting, perhaps you didn't understand what I'd written (if you read it again, you might see that)? If you'd like me to explain further, feel free to let me know. It possibly explains a lot of the misunderstandings lately if you didn't understand what I'd written. I'm happy to explain to you what I meant, sorry if I confused you.

Hello. I noticed this page in your userspace and I wondered what it was for? -- Dweller ( talk) 15:26, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
The policy is at WP:POLEMIC. I'll speedy your page as a user request, as you're requesting me to delete it. Working on things offline seems a sensible idea and thinking carefully about posting at ANI is a really great idea. You can point any admin of your choice at the deleted address and they can read the material you had, if you decide the current content is enough for a 'flavour'.
I'm not sure what to add to what I've already said regarding what you call the "sub point". We haven't interacted in the past and you're correct, no-one has dropped me a note like that. Pages in your userspace show up in your contrib history the same as any other pages. You've been having a public row with an editor I've done a lot of work with in the past - it's only natural I should be curious about your other recent edits.
Top advice:
Full selfglorying disclosure: I wrote 2 and 3. And, I suppose, 4. -- Dweller ( talk) 20:17, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Check my contrib history. I'm no-one's poxy proxy. Now, I get on well with TRM. If you'd like my help sorting out your dispute (sorry, but I'm not equipped to help unnumbered others, one at a time) I can try. You seem to be reasonable. I know for sure he is. You two must have rubbed each other up wrong. It doesn't seem irreconcilable to me. And hey, I like helping resolve disputes. -- Dweller ( talk) 21:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Following your comment on ITN/C about filling in refs, you might want to look at Wikipedia:REFLINKS it can do the heavy lifting when updating refs. LGA (was LightGreenApple) talk to me 02:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Sure, I can do that. That's a good suggestion and makes the TOC more helpful. Spencer T♦ C 16:32, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
On 16 March 2013, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Ieng Sary, which you substantially updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. |

"No one" wants to see NCAA basketball posted more than me (I care much less about the posting or not posting of American Football). My "comparison" of it to The Boat Race was only on the basis of the strong feelings it has generated when nominated, not on the skill level of the sport. Arguably, and I think you may agree, NCAA basketball is more important here in the states than NBA basketball, yet only colleagues over seas can not wrap their heads around why a "college sport" should be considered even remotely important. I think the best hope of making them understand is concentrating on the cultural impact of March Madness, which is why I choose to associate it other items that have high cultural significance in one area, but not are reaching press coverage. (Of course, the claim that NCAA basketball lacks such coverage is a lie as I have proven at length several years, but people don't care - they insist the coverage is not significant because insert some technicality here. Likewise, the claim it is not a high-level competition is also an error, but also is incomprehensible to people in countries with vastly different sport systems.) -- ThaddeusB ( talk) 00:24, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

This edit is too much. It's a generalisation we don't need, and we have many Chinese editors who would find that offensive. I'd ask you to remove /modify that comment, and I'd also let you know if you continue to make comments like this, you will be blocked. I know you've asked me not to post to your page, but I know no other way of letting you know this is the last warning for you. The Rambling Man ( talk) 20:51, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Just a quick note to say thanks for dealing with the itn nom and date header issue for me. I was just dropping by in a flying workbreak visit, when I posted my comment, so I've only just seen it. Thanks EdwardLane ( talk) 07:29, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

The article has been updated, so I wasn't sure if you might want to revise your vote to support? - Nbpolitico ( talk) 16:31, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Yet again on ITN/C you have proven your blatant hatred of China and the Chinese people. I used to think it was just an issue you had with the Chinese government, which is fine, but oh-no - you just don't like the Chinese. You're just a nasty little man, a bigot and Xenophobe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.122.225 ( talk) 17:27, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
