I do not agree with addying the {{Test2}} template to his page only. This user is from Florida, he uses dynamic IP adresses to vandalize several wikipedias (on cs. the range 71.99. was blocked). So take great care of all his edits. See also the history of my and Cinik's userpage/talkpage, to have a better image about it. Thanks a lot. -- Aktron ( t| c) 16:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
There is no Wikipedia policy against using another language on the talk page. It is generally discouraged, but not forbidden. -- Nlu ( talk) 16:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Please look at Talk:Anna Halman (history); there were at least 4 reverts from 71.99.128.25 user. I think this is very serious violation of 3RR. -- Aktron ( t| c) 16:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for dealing with User:Cris newman so promptly and efficiently. TerriersFan 16:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting vandalism on my userpage. And sorry for not realising until now! --Diniz 16:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Just so you know, this user, who I reported to you about 10 days ago for doing similar types of vandalism for day after day (and whom you subsequently blocked for 1 week), is back again, once again editing martial arts articles with WP:GAY type vandalism. The Evil Spartan 22:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nlu,
Is the Jing Province of the Three Kingdoms era coterminous with the modern city of Jingzhou? Does the Chinese Wikipedia have anything to say about that? Many thanks!! Ling.Nut 00:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I suppose the Book of Later Han, vol. 112, might constitute a source, as it described the commanderies that made up Eastern Han's Jing Province. The Xiangfan City Web site contains a very brief summary of its history, [1] which confirms that it was the capital of Jing Province during Eastern Han. This article on the Xiangfan City site is more complete, albeit much more POV. [2]. The Ezhou City Website has a similar type of article. [3] You think these might serve as sufficient sources? -- Nlu ( talk) 05:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if I am on the brink of breaking the 3RR rule per this edit. In the history, TingMing added the following sentence: "Also, many local residents have attempted to vandalize, destroy, or spit on the new name plate which prompted the 24 hour police presence." I removed it according to WP:BLP, which stresses that all contentious/derogatory materials, if un-/poorly sourced, must be removed on sight. Also, he had deleted a sentence that is backed up by a valid source without any reason, and I restored it. He reverted my changes, saying that the sentence was an "Unnecessary awkward long sentence- clean up" (which still does not justify the removal of the cited content), while restoring the contentious material back as well. In the diff link above, I reverted his restoring the derogatory content while attempted to copyedit the source-cited sentence. I expect that it might not last long since he would just revert it again (partly attributed to his stubborn stance for his POV), so I'm looking for an input from an uninvolved third person. Any thoughts? Vic 226 說 06:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm new to uploading images, and right now I am actually thinking of uploading this realistic portray from The National Museum of Mongolian History, what do you think? Would it be considered as copyrighted under PD-art tag? Eiorgiomugini 16:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
There is a tag on this article and the editors who have put it there claim that the word "China" is POV because Goguryeo could be a Chinese kingdom. However I see no reason as to why it would be POV and the article has been fairly stable before they put the tag. Am I allowed to take the tag off, or am I violating Wikipedia policy? Or are they violating Wikipedia policy? Thanks for helping. Good friend100 20:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Is there any way to check the IP addresses of users? I am highly suspicious that user:Naus and user:JakeLM are sockpuppets of an editor. Their user contributions show that they may be a single purpose account and are also provoking edit warring.
Please note that I am not commenting about them being sockpuppets simply because they are an opposing party. I am just sick of the argument, edit wars, and their rudeness to other editors. Good friend100 01:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
This goes back to the Afd proposal for the duplicate character pages related to List of characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy. The Prince of Darkness was a big proponent of those pages, which were subsequently merged and no longer exist. He had created a template that linked to them and put it at the bottom of the official page. Now that those pages are gone, he still insists on having the template, now linking to established related pages. Myself and another editor felt that it was redundant, since it merely duplicates embedded links that are already in the article. So, I deleted it, he restored it, and he seems perfectly willing to make this into an edit war. I don't want an edit war, since this article has had enough of that sort of thing. I was unable to find any published guidelines about redundant links or templates, so I am asking your opinion. If his template remains, should the other links be deleted? Why should a reader have to scroll all the way to the bottom of thre page to find links? This seems to be his pet project, and he is very stubborn about it. In closing, he never does any editing of these pages except for the template, and has demonstrated the attitude that he will simply have his way, or else. This is why I want input before continuing the matter. Thanks! -- Elaich talk 20:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
The person from the following IP Address, 70.19.148.99, keeps on vandalizing my page. I tried to stop this person, but this is already his 10th time vandalizing. It would be nice if you can block this user from editing temporarily. Please. Thank you. Amphitere 22:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Nlu, sorry for asking, but can you please archive the Goguryeo talk page? I'd like to do it myself but I don't know the means. I'm about to present some materials and the page is already too long. Cydevil38 16:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you again, but Assault11's persistance of changing the name of the template really sickens me. I'm thinking about doing a RfC on the template, but after reading the RfC page, it seems it's not to be taken "lightly" or with "haste". So I'd like to ask you if it would be appropriate to file for a RfC on that page. Cydevil38 04:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Added comment on tone to Talk:Empress Wang Zhengjun.
I've also been carpet-bombing Han Empresses with reference request tags (while providing Bio assessments). I imagine most have similar reference sources, and it is an important objective aspect of an article to have refs. Many of those articles struggle with the same issue of tone-- sounding business-like for an English language encyclopedia-- but I don't think it would be fair to tag all of them with "inappropriate tone" (which is more subjective) before Wang Zhengjun gets resolved. -- Yamara 23:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
