Hi. I've noticed that you have made some very timely contributions to the articles on recent coverage of the Urumqi riots. I just wanted you to check the current "background" section on the page to see if it is presented in a factual manner. Thanks! Colipon+( T) 19:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that in this edit you added Pakistan to the list; you may be interested in some of the Times of India sources in the relevant paragraph near the bottom of this version of the ETIM article (I have since rewritten that section and the sources are gone, but in the old version it mentioned stuff about Sino-Paki relations and accusations of "Uyghur terrorist training camps" in Pakistan). rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 00:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)#

Regarding this edit: I think I also had the Kachin Independence Army listed in an earlier revision... but now that I look more closely at the source, it's not clear if he's saying they were actually involved in the fighting; this might just be saying that the KIA is somewhere in the area, not that they've participated in the fighting per se. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 18:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for working on the sourcing here; however, this one: Understanding Adobe Photoshop CS4 is complete crap; what they said, based on what I said, was completely mangled. When I did the SPIE paper that you cite now, I hadn't yet found the 1932 use of Pix in Variety; but by my talk at the Computer History Museum I had that: video here. The Online Etymology Dictionary had it in 1932, but didn't give any useful reference, so I had to do a lot of looking at microfilm. Anyway, it's in my "handout" of slides, and in the talk, so that talk video might be a better source to cite. Dicklyon ( talk) 04:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I got that wrong; the 1932 Variety is not in the talk. It's in my slides for the SPIE talk, but that's not published. But you could reference Variety directly: Tuesday, July 12, 1932, p.6, section "PICTURES" headline "HIPP REOPENS AUG. 12: 2D RUN PIX -- Hippodrome, New York, is scheduled to reopen as a straight film house for RKO, its pictures following the Palace, on Aug. 12. ..." If you'd like a copy, email me. Dicklyon ( talk) 05:34, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Do you think it's a good idea to include this? It is recent, but also it's from the same publication that apparently (according to the local officials) got the numbers wrong a week or so ago. If it were up to me, I would probably say leave it out until there are other sources independently corroborating it (not just repeating it). rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 18:59, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm thinking the article is probably ready now to get a nice copyedit and go in for GAN, per the plan I laid out in [[Talk:July 2009 Ürümqi riots/Archive3#Time to remove {current}?]], as the article has become stable. I've started going through a copyediting and cleanup sweep, focusing mainly on rewording things now that we have a couple months' perspective (for example, listing only the final "official" casualty count, rather than all the temporary numbers that were being published right and left while the news was still unfolding), and am leaving my comments/concerns at Talk:July 2009 Ürümqi riots#Editing notes. If you have any time, I would welcome your input there (particularly on the section about videos within the External links, which has left me scratching my head). rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 04:54, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a note that the links to the PDF copies of the UNSC resolutions you've been including don't work when a browser has not accessed the page before. What you need to do is include the web address that is used before the UN doc system redirects you to the address you end up at. So for United Nations Security Council Resolution 1091, instead of this you can include this and it should work for all users. It's just a kink in the UN Doc system—this is the only workaround that I have been able to find. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 03:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:8888 Uprising.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi Midway,
I'm contacting you because I thought your perspective on the
Northern Limit Line article might be useful. Recently the article's gotten some traffic related to the recent
Bombardment of Yeonpyeong. On the NLL article, there is a claim that's been the subject of some... alteration. "The line was unilaterally set by the
U.S.-led
United Nations military forces in August 1953 after the
United Nations Command and North Korea failed to reach an agreement." is sourced by Yŏnʼguwŏn, Hanʼguk Kukpang (1999). "Defense white paper". Ministry of National Defense, Republic of Korea. {{
cite journal}}
: Cite journal requires |journal=
(
help).
Recently another editor wanted to keep the source and change the claim to "When the Korean War ended in July 1953, South and North Korea signed an armistice negotiation. The U.N. and South Korea defined the Northern Limits Line (NLL) as the maritime boundary, and North Korea had been quiet about it for over 20 years." while keeping the same reference. I reverted it because I had no way of knowing whether the source really supports the new claim or not.
You appear to be the one that added the source, and it occurred to me it would be easier to defend the current claim if we could verify it. Any chance you might still have access to it? Is it in Korean or English? Any idea if it's available online? Thanks for the help, and for helping make the article in the first place!

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

But you could reference Variety directly: Tuesday, July 12, 1932, p.6, section "PICTURES" headline "HIPP REOPENS AUG. 12: 2D RUN PIX -- Hippodrome, New York, is scheduled to reopen as a straight film house for RKO, its pictures following the Palace, on Aug. 12. ..." If you'd like a copy, email me. Dicklyon ( talk) 05:34, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Do you think it's a good idea to include this? It is recent, but also it's from the same publication that apparently (according to the local officials) got the numbers wrong a week or so ago. If it were up to me, I would probably say leave it out until there are other sources independently corroborating it (not just repeating it). rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 18:59, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm thinking the article is probably ready now to get a nice copyedit and go in for GAN, per the plan I laid out in [[Talk:July 2009 Ürümqi riots/Archive3#Time to remove {current}?]], as the article has become stable. I've started going through a copyediting and cleanup sweep, focusing mainly on rewording things now that we have a couple months' perspective (for example, listing only the final "official" casualty count, rather than all the temporary numbers that were being published right and left while the news was still unfolding), and am leaving my comments/concerns at Talk:July 2009 Ürümqi riots#Editing notes. If you have any time, I would welcome your input there (particularly on the section about videos within the External links, which has left me scratching my head). rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 04:54, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

-- BorgQueen ( talk) 07:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Hi, I noticed one of the items you added to P:CE earlier. I created the article for the earlier train bombing currently on ITN but I wondered if you knew if there was a connection between the two (I'm sure I'll not be the first to wonder) and, if so, is there an article we can update/create or whatever? My knowledge of Russian politics is next to nil but this seems interesting and, of course, a good opportunity for WP to shine in its current events coverage. I'll drop a line at WT:RUSSIA too.

Hi Midway, the July 2009 Ürümqi riots article is at FAC and someone has raised an accessibility concern about the use of flagicons in the "International reactions" section. Since you did most of the work creating that section, would you be interested in checking out Eubulides' comment at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/July 2009 Ürümqi riots/archive1? I would appreciate your advice. Thank you, rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 23:01, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:8888 Uprising.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Just a note that the links to the PDF copies of the UNSC resolutions you've been including don't work when a browser has not accessed the page before. What you need to do is include the web address that is used before the UN doc system redirects you to the address you end up at. So for United Nations Security Council Resolution 1091, instead of this you can include this and it should work for all users. It's just a kink in the UN Doc system—this is the only workaround that I have been able to find. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

This is a tough one. Category:United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning Serbia and Montenegro. What should go in here? The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was founded in 1992 and renamed Serbia and Montenegro in 2003. Should stuff in Category:United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning Yugoslavia that involves FR Yugoslavia be placed in here if it is post-1997? Why is 1997 the cut-off date?

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 03:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:8888 Uprising.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 12:10, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Midway,
I'm contacting you because I thought your perspective on the
Northern Limit Line article might be useful. Recently the article's gotten some traffic related to the recent
Bombardment of Yeonpyeong. On the NLL article, there is a claim that's been the subject of some... alteration. "The line was unilaterally set by the
U.S.-led
United Nations military forces in August 1953 after the
United Nations Command and North Korea failed to reach an agreement." is sourced by Yŏnʼguwŏn, Hanʼguk Kukpang (1999). "Defense white paper". Ministry of National Defense, Republic of Korea. {{
cite journal}}
: Cite journal requires |journal=
(
help).
Recently another editor wanted to keep the source and change the claim to "When the Korean War ended in July 1953, South and North Korea signed an armistice negotiation. The U.N. and South Korea defined the Northern Limits Line (NLL) as the maritime boundary, and North Korea had been quiet about it for over 20 years." while keeping the same reference. I reverted it because I had no way of knowing whether the source really supports the new claim or not.
You appear to be the one that added the source, and it occurred to me it would be easier to defend the current claim if we could verify it. Any chance you might still have access to it? Is it in Korean or English? Any idea if it's available online? Thanks for the help, and for helping make the article in the first place!

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 20:41, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
