I letting you know that I just tagged this image as a potential copyright violation. I understand that you could not find a free image of Mr. Li online. However, I have met the man in person and can attest that he is living and it is possible to get a picture of him, if perhaps difficult. Thus, I believe this falls under category 12 of unacceptable images in the non-free content policy. I have a friend who goes to Falun Gong conferences and may have a replacement image. Bdentremont ( talk) 20:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
You said on my talk page "Actually, maybe I put the picture up before discovering that Falun Gong released their images for free distribution." This make it sound like you think the images on falundafa.org, and clearwisdom.net may already be under a public license and all we need to do is change the licensing terms on Wikipedia. Indeed the presentation on the website strongly suggests intent that these photos and documents be redistributed. However, there is no indication that this is legal. I e-mailed contact@falundafa.org requesting clarification of image licensing. Sorry, I don't have a picture. I don't seek out interaction with Mr. Li and on the occasion that I was introduced to him saw no need to photograph him. He tends to make public appearances mainly at FG conferences, which my friend the practitioner says have a ban on cameras. By the way, I appreciate your good work. Particularly, your rant about Falun Gong pages is sadly on target and reflects the broader conflict over this outside of WP. -- Bdentremont ( talk) 05:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words. I kind of wish it wasn't as I ranted about, but it was a very nasty experience for me. As for the images, other practitioners have also failed to obtain clarification from FD about the status of images, and as the copyright notice does not explicitly mention GFDL or CC by SA, so their inclusion on public domain grounds have often been challenged. From what you said, it may not be that easy to take photographs of Li after all. ;-) Ohconfucius ( talk) 05:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
I got a prompt reply from a volunteer at falundafa.org indicating that he was looking in to the copyright status and would get back to me. I will let you know when/if I hear something more. -- Bdentremont ( talk) 21:53, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Chinese apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO ( talk) 17:55, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

To repair a dead link go to the Internet Archive and enter the url. For the majority of the time, it will be able to find the link at a prior date when basically a screenshot was taken, which can then be linked to within the article. If there is an available date, just click on it and copy the url and paste it back into the article in place of the old link. For the access dates, it's best to update them occasionally so that readers know that the links still work. Checking every few months or at least once a year is a good way to find the dead links and attempt to repair them. Let me know if you need further help on any of these. Otherwise, the article still looks to me like it meets the GA criteria. -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 09:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. With all due respect to your excellent contributions to Wikipedia, I've had long experience with editors who blank massively without first seeking and obtaining consensus, as is our procedure at WP. From today's edits, you appear to be one of those. If and when you pledge to me you will abide by this thoughtful, considered manner of editing, you may post to my discussion page further. Otherwise, please post your opinions to other discussion pages rather than mine. Badagnani ( talk) 05:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry if the Wikiquette request was alarming, I just wasn't comfortable with the inadvertent aggression expressed towards Badagnani by means of overstatement. I'm not sure what barbs you and have exchanged in the past, but I could not find tangible evidence on this talk page to support allegations of WP:ATTACK, WP:BITE, WP:CIVIL, or WP:OWN. He was not discourteous to any extent beyond good faith forgiveness. Irregardless, we all make mistakes from time to time, and I see no reason to pursue retribution.
With that aside, I'm intrigued by the fact that you are a Chinese-speaking contributor with 12,000+ edits. I'm interested in the possibility of collaborating to take this article up to featured criteria — if that is something you are also interested in, do let me know. — C M B J 08:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
I was just getting stuck into the article when I got hit smack in the face by the user you were referring to. His record speaks for itself, and his talk page is littered with examples of his aggression towards other users in food articles - what most people would find impossibly uncontroversial. If you are really interested in why I have an issue with said user, you may care to look at the diffs provided an invisible entry I made to your talk page. Of course I would be interested in bringing the article to GA or FA status. I'll be staying around despite the attacks. I've seen worse on the Falun Gong articles. Ohconfucius ( talk) 09:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
"His talk page is littered with examples of his aggression towards other users in food articles - what most people would find impossibly uncontroversial." That brought me to tears in laughter. But even if he does have a mixed record, he wasn't doing anything inexcusable; and has brought some 1,250 articles to Wikipedia over the course of 3 years.
I'll try to incite collaboration on the article's talk page as soon as I can. If you remove any content without merging it elsewhere, please note the revision diffs on the talk page. — C M B J 10:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

You are the latest in an ever evolving move-a-thon of the article. I'm surprised you have reverted it back to a title that reflects the "attack" as focused on the Americans.

Excellent! We need to get serious about at least telling editors that they don't have to use citation templates. Perhaps a capped info package along the lines of the one I produced about the disadvantages of date autoformatting is appropriate ... but I've never used a citation template myself, so perhaps you have the knowledge and experience to produce it ...? I wish I'd known about the template before. Yes, at the very least its wording needs to be changed. But a far better way of getting the word out is to run the script (see capped info above), which automatically provides the relevant links to MOSNUM and CONTEXT in its edit summaries. Perhaps you'd like to try it? Let me know if you do and need assistance.

Notes
And here, if you ever need to convince someone of the need to get rid of low-value bright-blue patches all over the place, is another information package:
The consensus against date autoformatting is overwhelming. You may wish to peruse the following capped text to compare two examples, with and without date autoformatting. The DA is forced tot international style—the one pertaining in this particular article—to show all WPians how the blue dates are displayed to almost all readers. MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted, analogous to our highly successful guidelines for the use of varieties of English. The choice of style is audited during the running of the script to ensure that it is appropriate to the article (i.e., consistent, and country-related where appropriate).

Could you be slightly more careful when you're doing date-unlinking work. In Margaret Thatcher you broke a link, and an image by changing September 11 to 11 September (in the context of the September 11 attacks) in text that was not actually being displayed in the article, but was piped, or captioned, with dates which were in the correct format. David Underdown ( talk) 13:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
The PUI noticeboard is for images that are marked as free but may not be. For images already marked non-free and used under a fair use claim, use {{ subst:rfu}} if you think the image is replaceable and {{ subst:dfu|reason}} if you think the rationale provided doesn't justify its use.

With the recent deprecation of date autoformatting, "raw" dates are becoming increasingly visible on Wikipedia. Strong views are being expressed, and even some edit-warring here and there. A poll has been initiated to gauge community support to help us develop wording in the Manual of Style that reflects a workable consensus. As you have recently commented on date formats, your input would be helpful in getting this right. Four options have been put forward, summarised as:

On 9/17/2008, "The River," a film where Sims was director of photography" was added to the internet movie database. His credit, along with others, are to be added within the coming week. Since there is no previous feature-length DP credit for Sims, it's taken a bit longer to be added. The same goes for the director. However, the film was added today, and that's justifiable reason that the filmmaker, Sims, is a viable filmmaker whose article should remain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chowningsferry ( talk • contribs) 03:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Arilang1234 ( talk) 10:45, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for moving it to a different section. I think it needs to be expanded a bit especially when many Chinese netizents comment that it was the sole supplier to both Olympic.

Oh, Confucius...I was having a look at the above article to see if I wanted to review it (it having been waiting for a while now), and I saw a merge tag at the top of it. I raised this issue here to solicit the views of other editors, and it appears that an active merge proposal is grounds to quick fail a GA nominee on the basis of stability. I was just getting read to do so when I had a look at the merge proposal and noticed that there hasn't actually been any discussion on the subject for more than two months. Normally, then, I'd just remove the tag and get on with the review, but I noticed that you were the one proposing the merger. Do you still believe they should be merged, or would you rather they be left as separate articles? Sarcasticidealist ( talk) 01:44, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Please be more cautious while you're using the script assisted date delinking. In several articles you have hit, such as List of Blood+ episodes and List of Rurouni Kenshin episodes, you incorrectly delinked to change the format from mdy to dmy. As per the MoS, for articles not tied to a specific country, the existing date format should be retained, and as such both of those lists should have been delinked to mdy. Please consider going back and undoing your edits to the many anime episode lists where this error was made. I will also be going back to fix the lists as time permits.

Hello, there. I am contacting you because of this edit. I am the main contributor on that list and I would like to have the former title back, because I think it suits the article better. It really is more an article on the season now rather than just a list of episodes. I did not change the titles of all the season articles because I wanted to rewrite them first, but it's a slow process and I admit maybe I chose the wrong method; in this case I could move all the seasons at the same time, as it suits you.

There is an established precedent that categorizing band members by the band they're in is acceptable. I'm not sure if it's needed for duos, but any group with three or more members can certainly have its members categorized by the band (for example, Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney are all categorized as Category:Rascal Flatts members, even though the band's membership seems quite well established as just those three guys).

Then you need to remove lots of people who have category "People from X" but were not born in X.

As this practice (and the actual manual of style guideline) are currently in dispute, you should probably back off of unlinking dates until the dispute is resolved. Prior ArbCom cases have looked unfavorably on editors who attempt to force through disputed changes on a massive scale as you (and other editors) are doing. Specifically, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Episodes_and_characters_2/Proposed_decision#Fait_accompli, which I quote:
Editors who are collectively or individually making large numbers of similar edits, and are apprised that those edits are controversial or disputed, are expected to attempt to resolve the dispute through discussion. It is inappropriate to use repetition or volume in order to present opponents with a fait accompli or to exhaust their ability to contest the change. This applies to many editors making a few edits each, as well as a few editors making many edits.
Continuing this behavior could be considered disruption. Please stop and instead participate in the ongoing discussions at WT:MOSNUM and elsewhere. — Locke Cole • t • c 05:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I was stunned to see the discussion on this closed as "no consensus, default to keep", since very few people suggested an outright keep, and most would have been satisfied with a merge. I honestly don't think the closing administrator paid attention to any of the comments. Regardless of how you felt on this issue-- delete, merge, keep -- I think that everyone's comments showed that a lot of people care about this issue, and "no consensus" in this case is the equivalent of "shut up". I've asked for a review, and invite everyone to give their two cents worth at [9]. Best wishes. Mandsford ( talk) 23:49, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Just like your behaviour on WP:MOSNUM and elsewhere, you and are acting like you own WP, not just the tennis articles. Anyone not agreeing with your narrow, parochial stance is acting against consensus. As it can be clearly seen from your diatribe above, you are one great drama queen. You blame everybody but yourself - BTW, is that a chip I see on your shoulder? God spede, Princess! I have little doubt you'll be back again before three months have elapsed. I hope you grow up in the meantime, and leave your tantrums at home before you even think about coming back.

I letting you know that I just tagged this image as a potential copyright violation. I understand that you could not find a free image of Mr. Li online. However, I have met the man in person and can attest that he is living and it is possible to get a picture of him, if perhaps difficult. Thus, I believe this falls under category 12 of unacceptable images in the non-free content policy. I have a friend who goes to Falun Gong conferences and may have a replacement image. Bdentremont ( talk) 20:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
You said on my talk page "Actually, maybe I put the picture up before discovering that Falun Gong released their images for free distribution." This make it sound like you think the images on falundafa.org, and clearwisdom.net may already be under a public license and all we need to do is change the licensing terms on Wikipedia. Indeed the presentation on the website strongly suggests intent that these photos and documents be redistributed. However, there is no indication that this is legal. I e-mailed contact@falundafa.org requesting clarification of image licensing. Sorry, I don't have a picture. I don't seek out interaction with Mr. Li and on the occasion that I was introduced to him saw no need to photograph him. He tends to make public appearances mainly at FG conferences, which my friend the practitioner says have a ban on cameras. By the way, I appreciate your good work. Particularly, your rant about Falun Gong pages is sadly on target and reflects the broader conflict over this outside of WP. -- Bdentremont ( talk) 05:02, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words. I kind of wish it wasn't as I ranted about, but it was a very nasty experience for me. As for the images, other practitioners have also failed to obtain clarification from FD about the status of images, and as the copyright notice does not explicitly mention GFDL or CC by SA, so their inclusion on public domain grounds have often been challenged. From what you said, it may not be that easy to take photographs of Li after all. ;-) Ohconfucius ( talk) 05:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

To repair a dead link go to the Internet Archive and enter the url. For the majority of the time, it will be able to find the link at a prior date when basically a screenshot was taken, which can then be linked to within the article. If there is an available date, just click on it and copy the url and paste it back into the article in place of the old link. For the access dates, it's best to update them occasionally so that readers know that the links still work. Checking every few months or at least once a year is a good way to find the dead links and attempt to repair them. Let me know if you need further help on any of these. Otherwise, the article still looks to me like it meets the GA criteria. -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 09:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your message.

Otherwise, please post your opinions to other discussion pages rather than mine. Badagnani ( talk) 05:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry if the Wikiquette request was alarming, I just wasn't comfortable with the inadvertent aggression expressed towards Badagnani by means of overstatement. I'm not sure what barbs you and have exchanged in the past, but I could not find tangible evidence on this talk page to support allegations of WP:ATTACK, WP:BITE, WP:CIVIL, or WP:OWN. He was not discourteous to any extent beyond good faith forgiveness. Irregardless, we all make mistakes from time to time, and I see no reason to pursue retribution.
With that aside, I'm intrigued by the fact that you are a Chinese-speaking contributor with 12,000+ edits. I'm interested in the possibility of collaborating to take this article up to featured criteria — if that is something you are also interested in, do let me know. — C M B J 08:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
I was just getting stuck into the article when I got hit smack in the face by the user you were referring to. His record speaks for itself, and his talk page is littered with examples of his aggression towards other users in food articles - what most people would find impossibly uncontroversial. If you are really interested in why I have an issue with said user, you may care to look at the diffs provided an invisible entry I made to your talk page. Of course I would be interested in bringing the article to GA or FA status. I'll be staying around despite the attacks. I've seen worse on the Falun Gong articles. Ohconfucius ( talk) 09:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
"His talk page is littered with examples of his aggression towards other users in food articles - what most people would find impossibly uncontroversial." That brought me to tears in laughter.

Excellent! We need to get serious about at least telling editors that they don't have to use citation templates. Perhaps a capped info package along the lines of the one I produced about the disadvantages of date autoformatting is appropriate ... but I've never used a citation template myself, so perhaps you have the knowledge and experience to produce it ...? I wish I'd known about the template before. Yes, at the very least its wording needs to be changed. But a far better way of getting the word out is to run the script (see capped info above), which automatically provides the relevant links to MOSNUM and CONTEXT in its edit summaries. Perhaps you'd like to try it? Let me know if you do and need assistance.

And here, if you ever need to convince someone of the need to get rid of low-value bright-blue patches all over the place, is another information package:
The consensus against date autoformatting is overwhelming. You may wish to peruse the following capped text to compare two examples, with and without date autoformatting. The DA is forced tot international style—the one pertaining in this particular article—to show all WPians how the blue dates are displayed to almost all readers. MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted, analogous to our highly successful guidelines for the use of varieties of English. The choice of style is audited during the running of the script to ensure that it is appropriate to the article (i.e., consistent, and country-related where appropriate).

Could you be slightly more careful when you're doing date-unlinking work. In Margaret Thatcher you broke a link, and an image by changing September 11 to 11 September (in the context of the September 11 attacks) in text that was not actually being displayed in the article, but was piped, or captioned, with dates which were in the correct format.

Oh, Confucius...I was having a look at the above article to see if I wanted to review it (it having been waiting for a while now), and I saw a merge tag at the top of it. I raised this issue here to solicit the views of other editors, and it appears that an active merge proposal is grounds to quick fail a GA nominee on the basis of stability. I was just getting read to do so when I had a look at the merge proposal and noticed that there hasn't actually been any discussion on the subject for more than two months. Normally, then, I'd just remove the tag and get on with the review, but I noticed that you were the one proposing the merger.

Please be more cautious while you're using the script assisted date delinking. In several articles you have hit, such as List of Blood+ episodes and List of Rurouni Kenshin episodes, you incorrectly delinked to change the format from mdy to dmy. As per the MoS, for articles not tied to a specific country, the existing date format should be retained, and as such both of those lists should have been delinked to mdy. Please consider going back and undoing your edits to the many anime episode lists where this error was made. I will also be going back to fix the lists as time permits.

One of your recent edits to H2O: Just Add Water ( diff) changed the date formatting from DMY to MDY; please be careful about this in the future, as Australian articles use DMY formatting. Cheers! — Huntster ( t • @ • c) 09:33, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits to the various lists of ship launches have cause some dates to display on one line and some dates to display on two lines, where they previously all displayed on one line. You need to insert a non breaking space in the first September entry with two digits to make them all display correctly. Mjroots ( talk) 10:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello, there. I am contacting you because of this edit. I am the main contributor on that list and I would like to have the former title back, because I think it suits the article better. It really is more an article on the season now rather than just a list of episodes. I did not change the titles of all the season articles because I wanted to rewrite them first, but it's a slow process and I admit maybe I chose the wrong method; in this case I could move all the seasons at the same time, as it suits you. Please let me know what you think. If you do not oppose, I would like to move the article back tomorrow. Have a nice day, Rosenknospe ( talk) 12:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, could you check out here [8]. There is a dispute over the wording "persecution" vs "banned" over a section on Falun Gong. It's likely to end in an edit war and can you help out a bit? Thanks-- PCPP ( talk) 04:37, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
There is an established precedent that categorizing band members by the band they're in is acceptable. I'm not sure if it's needed for duos, but any group with three or more members can certainly have its members categorized by the band (for example, Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney are all categorized as Category:Rascal Flatts members, even though the band's membership seems quite well established as just those three guys). See Category:Musicians by band for many more of these. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ( Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ohconfucius
I was surprised to see Nancy Kissel murder case split from Nancy Kissel, as it is almost unimaginable that anyone would be interested in the main article other than in connection with the murder. How does this split serve readers?

Hi,the person with the IP 71.200.54.6 continues to undo our edits on the Will Kirby page. Doesn't this constitute Vandalism? I am new at this and understand they can be reported but am not sure of the process. Blue-morpho1 ( talk) 23:11, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Then you need to remove lots of people who have category "People from X" but were not born in X. In fact, "people from X" is equivalent to "native from X" in Chinese, not just the people who were born in X. For example, I was born in New York, USA with family roots in Guangdong, China. I am American (American Chinese) and Guangdong people. Ricky@36 ( talk) 12:15, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
The CSD you placed on Vanessa Shih was declined because the article contains the assertion that the person is notable. Anyway, I'm sure we agree that a government spokesperson from the Republic of China is notable, yes? WhisperToMe ( talk) 17:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I don't agree that a govt spokesman is notable by default. True, though, that it may be borderline speediable as it was. A minister is different, but there was nothing in the original reference which said that. I'm sorry about that, but we get too many frivolous articles created by people who have seen so and so once on TV. Ohconfucius ( talk) 01:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
The've both been semi-protected for a week. I'm guessing the user came back as HairyHannah after the IP got a 24 hour block. Hannah's been permanently blocked, but I'm going to keep an eye on the pages regardless, in the event an alternative name is used or IP edits resume after the protection expires. This user has intentionally or not gotten new address from the ISP in the past, so the vandalism may resume. Thanks. BaldPete ( talk) 18:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Due to health reasons, I have not been able to fulfill all of my regular duties. I apologize for my delays in corresponding with you. I've gone ahead and provided my input on the renaming of 2008 attack at Beijing Drum Tower during Olympics, and hopefully we can collaborate to finish Concerns and controversies over the 2008 Summer Olympics in the near future. Take care. — C M B J 23:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
The script does not, in itself, constitute a bot. It is how it is used. Have you considered setting up email? Lightmouse ( talk) 11:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Ohconfucius, re this edit, I got hold of a pdf of the judgement a couple of days ago and can mail you a copy if you like; perhaps I'll upload it to Commons. Cheers, Jayen 466 11:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

As this practice (and the actual manual of style guideline) are currently in dispute, you should probably back off of unlinking dates until the dispute is resolved. Prior ArbCom cases have looked unfavorably on editors who attempt to force through disputed changes on a massive scale as you (and other editors) are doing. Specifically, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Episodes_and_characters_2/Proposed_decision#Fait_accompli, which I quote:
Editors who are collectively or individually making large numbers of similar edits, and are apprised that those edits are controversial or disputed, are expected to attempt to resolve the dispute through discussion. It is inappropriate to use repetition or volume in order to present opponents with a fait accompli or to exhaust their ability to contest the change. This applies to many editors making a few edits each, as well as a few editors making many edits.
Continuing this behavior could be considered disruption. Please stop and instead participate in the ongoing discussions at WT:MOSNUM and elsewhere. — Locke Cole • t • c 05:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Just noticed this change to the SS Great Western page, in which month numbers have been replaced with names. The replacement for July has used a small 'j' -- you will need to check the bot's recent edits and correct these.

I was stunned to see the discussion on this closed as "no consensus, default to keep", since very few people suggested an outright keep, and most would have been satisfied with a merge. I honestly don't think the closing administrator paid attention to any of the comments. Regardless of how you felt on this issue-- delete, merge, keep -- I think that everyone's comments showed that a lot of people care about this issue, and "no consensus" in this case is the equivalent of "shut up". I've asked for a review, and invite everyone to give their two cents worth at [9]. Best wishes. Mandsford ( talk) 23:49, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Happy retirement ( sic). I am genuinely sorry to see you go. You are so easily wound up - you will be sorely missed as I have one less person to bait, and I did so without even realising. Just like your behaviour on WP:MOSNUM and elsewhere, you and are acting like you own WP, not just the tennis articles. Anyone not agreeing with your narrow, parochial stance is acting against consensus. As it can be clearly seen from your diatribe above, you are one great drama queen. You blame everybody but yourself - BTW, is that a chip I see on your shoulder? God spede, Princess! I have little doubt you'll be back again before three months have elapsed. I hope you grow up in the meantime, and leave your tantrums at home before you even think about coming back.
