Ross basically stole Alexander's methods and even the equipment. Couldn't there be an Alexander page of some sort? I may have sufficient sources to do a skeletal outline of an article which would be better than nothing.
Not being a big-time editor, I do not know how we get photos or that type of thing ... but I think I can get Alexander's business to allow me to compose his bio and add info about his TV shows.

Hi,
sorry, I have been consumed by other issues over the last few weeks and the whole quake/tsunami/nuke business has really shaken folk up, even though it did not directly effect us in Ehime.
I see the problem.
The only way forward I can suggest is choosing to take it all to the right place to put in a complaint. I remember when I looked last, it said we needed two people, well I am your number two.
From my point of view, this guy is an obsessive crank who is infatuated with Fukuoka and wants to turn the page back into his own personal website about the man. Great, he knows his details but he lack a simple, clear, perspective required to write a sufficiently good topic. There is no beating about the bush. I do not see why anyone needs to have to deal with that in a voluntary project. I am pretty sure that any sober individuals taking a look at his contributions on the talk page is going to see it straight away, and if they don't - and people like this are allowed to run amok - then the Wikipedia is doomed.
From my own point of view, I posted those photographs to prove what I said was true. My home is nearby, I have met the family, I am friends of friends, I have worked on the farm and if you want phone numbers to confirm it, I can give them. Of course, none of that is a "reliable source" but it does give a good foundation to keep matters grounded in reality. Take, for example, his re-write on the hill and pagoda. It is crap. The land is roped off and neglected. The buildings are falling down and composting. The family is sort of embarrassed by it and does not show it to strangers. The family don't follow his method any more.
Macropneuma is basically filling it full of the same unnecessary cruft, like multiple repetitions of Japanese alternatives "(shizen nōhō)" etc as it was before.
Where do we go and who do we have to speak to? He needs to be kept away from it.

I was asked to delete some redirects related to {{ Rescue}}, so I just spent some time looking through its deletion debate, in which you commented about the blackout. Thank you for your words — they're exactly what I felt. I was gone for a few days at a place without Internet access and got back only to find that the encyclopedia was about to go down after a discussion that hadn't even really started when I left. Perhaps more than anything else, I'm bothered by the speed with which this was rammed through — the bigtime WP:POINT and WP:NPOV violations are huge, but those already happen systematically with some topics and I've learned to live with them; I've never seen anything happen like this, especially since we were so careful to add multiple days to the prescribed five-day PROD and AFD process for the sake of editors who can only edit on the weekends.

At a recent AN/I you commented "I think more than 35% odd combined article and article talk contributions would be less worrisome. " What is the nature of the "worry?" Is there an assumption that most "Wikipedia" edits are just participation in AN/I or some such site of bickering? Are we to avoid WP:AFD and Wikipedia:Reference desk? I wonder if there has been any broad discussion of what the pie chart should look like? My own pie chart at X!'s edit counter also shows a large percentage of edits outside articles and their talk pages, with about 29% at articles and talk pages and 52% at "Wikipedia." I note that if I am going along patrolling articles, and I find one which looks like it needs an AFD, nominating it for AFD adds one to the "Articles" total, one to user talk(to notify the article creator), and two to "Wikipedia" (The actual AFD and the AFD log.) If one participates in AFDs, the comments, "keeps" (often including the posting at AFD of references which can improve an article) or "deletes" only add to the "Wikipedia" total (thus "worrisome"). Ditto for answering questions at the Reference Desk. If an editor reverts vandalism and warns the vandal, there is one "User talk" edit along with the one "article" edit. Trying to achieve that goal of "lots of article and article talk" edits could mean avoiding AFD and Ref Desk, and avoiding warning vandals or PRODing and AFDing articles, while adding lots of comments on article talk pages. I'm not sure that really makes for a better Wikipedia. What do you think? Regards. Edison ( talk) 20:40, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I think the official source cited [1] actually points us in the other direction: the use of "Taiwan" in the first line to refer to the scope of the elections (the island and its people) is opposed to "ROC Central Election Commission", the official political entity overseeing the election, which uses ROC in its name.

Having seen this exchange I gave up any hope that the dispute can be mediated. Unfortunately the Greater China coverage and debates here are becoming more and more like that of the Chinese Wikipedia where stakeholders are divided into factions who refuse to talk to each other. Worse, everyone assumes bad faith in their counterparts, sees the speck in others' eyes but have no idea about the plank in their own eyes. Der yck C. 11:16, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
The reversion of the HIV/AIDS in China was an oversight by me. However, the bolded text in lead sections do not have to be identical to the article title. I see no harm in the long form. The move of the countries template has no bearing on this issue as WP:COMMONNAME (and its underlying rationale) deals with article titles, not article text. Just because the countries template has been moved does not mean that every instance of "People's Republic of China" should be rendered as "China". This is a point made in the draft decision for the Taiwan move.
I don't see how this edit is an improvement. The disambiguation is across historical periods. "People's Republic of China" represents an existing polity while "Republic of China" represents a historical period. Suggesting that "China" and "Republic of China" are separate concepts is just plain confusing. What purpose does shortening "People's Republic of China" to "China" serve there? I thought we agreed not to change these terms around unless there is a good reason to.-- Jiang ( talk) 05:09, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello NULL. I was looking over WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Instantnood and observe that you've previously submitted material to that case. From the March 2012 discussion, it looks as though the SPI clerk was not convinced that the editors from 202.189.* were the same as Instantnood. On behavior there is no problem identifying 202.189.98.131 with Jeffrey Fitzpatrick. The hard part is showing Instantnood-like behavior from JF. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 03:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Okay, well here's a first pass analysis. There are 48 pages of overlap between Instantnood and Jeffrey Fitzpatrick, meaning both of them have edited the same page. Excluding the Wikipedia and User_talk namespaces, this breaks down as follows. Jeffrey has edited:
In total, out of these four namespaces Jeffrey has edited 131 distinct pages, of which 41 overlap with Instantnood's edits. This gives an overlap of 31%. This seems high.
Individual analysis of some of the overlapping pages shows some very similar edits between the two editors:
Other circumstantial similarities exist.
We know that Jeffrey and Instantnood are both from Hong Kong. We know that they have edited from the same IP ranges in the past. We know that they both hold identical strong political views. We know they both have a marked interest in working on Taiwan articles. Their mannerisms, method of argument and WP:IDHT mentality are very similar to each other. They both refused to acknowledge when they're in the wrong and continued to edit disruptively in pursuit of their particular WP:POINT. They both showed signs of attempting to WP:GAME the system to support their cause, whether it be to avoid scrutiny or to cry foul when someone objected to their edits. These, combined with what I consider to be highly suggestive evidence above, leads me to believe there is a strong chance Jeffrey is Instantnood.
So the question then is, where do we go from here? –

Sorry to butt in. My own view is that Instantnood was banned long enough ago that blocking Jeffrey for socking would be constantly questioned. On the other hand, if Jeffrey's own behaviour is disruptive, he should be blocked for that. If he ends up blocked and if socking starts, those socks can be blocked fairly uncontroversially at SPI. wctaiwan ( talk) 03:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
"Article describes them as advocates of policy to the administration. This is the definition of a pressure group." [16] It doesn't identify itself with a particular policy ideology nor does it seek to influence public opinion. Its motives isn't based upon any shared political, faith, moral or commercial position. It's only a thinktank or a policy research institute. It isn't like other pressure groups in Hong Kong. Jeffrey ( talk) 01:27, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
"Spans prior to creation of PRC" [17] All articles under this category are about topics after 1949.

Null, I am reluctant to provide my rationale here because you (and others) probably won't like it. Yet, I will do so because you asked. Above all it was clear to me that there was no concensus to move to the suggested title among the participants. Additionally, no one for or against provided policy based arguments. The support arguments clung to the notion that the inclusion of Hong Kong and Macau in the content demanded a different name. If that content was removed, then would a new name be appropriate? The conflict between China, PRC, ROC and Taiwan nomenclature is complicated but recent RM decisions aren't binding on future and other RMs. WP:PRECEDENT.

Just to let you know, that was my first ever ITN nomination, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything like that again. In all honesty, my post about it not being posted was a tactic, but not manipulation. I figured pointing that out would help, but I had no idea it would be posted so quickly or that it would inspire the venom that followed. I decided to have some fun and claim I knew it would happen to make the users that responded negatively feel foolish.
Although it wasn't my intention, I do hope that my shenanigans will help to stop that kind of stuff from happening again, because although I don't participate in ITN often, I do check the noms regularily, and I often see all kinds of manipulation and dirty tactics.

The land is roped off and neglected. The buildings are falling down and composting. The family is sort of embarrassed by it and does not show it to strangers. The family don't follow his method any more.
Macropneuma is basically filling it full of the same unnecessary cruft, like multiple repetitions of Japanese alternatives "(shizen nōhō)" etc as it was before.
Where do we go and who do we have to speak to? He needs to be kept away from it.

Sorry, but see the article of Persian language, especially the section about the Persian dialects and varieties. The Tajik and Dari language also the (separate) dialects of the Persian. The facts are similar in the Slovene dialects: two dialects in the peripherial regions is territorial languages, Slovene sources from Prekmurje confirm this statement and also my studys from the University.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Please see my comments here for further information. Thanks, Swarm X 01:40, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

At Talk:Taiwan_(disambiguation)#Move_request could you at least agree to get the island article out of the way? So in a first step the opinion that the island is the primary topic is downgraded. If you don't want to move the dab page, you could say so. Then Taiwan could become a redirect. And if at any point in the future a majority votes for ROC as primary it can be done very easily.

I was asked to delete some redirects related to {{ Rescue}}, so I just spent some time looking through its deletion debate, in which you commented about the blackout. Thank you for your words — they're exactly what I felt. I was gone for a few days at a place without Internet access and got back only to find that the encyclopedia was about to go down after a discussion that hadn't even really started when I left. Perhaps more than anything else, I'm bothered by the speed with which this was rammed through — the bigtime WP:POINT and WP:NPOV violations are huge, but those already happen systematically with some topics and I've learned to live with them; I've never seen anything happen like this, especially since we were so careful to add multiple days to the prescribed five-day PROD and AFD process for the sake of editors who can only edit on the weekends.

At a recent AN/I you commented "I think more than 35% odd combined article and article talk contributions would be less worrisome. " What is the nature of the "worry?" Is there an assumption that most "Wikipedia" edits are just participation in AN/I or some such site of bickering? Are we to avoid WP:AFD and Wikipedia:Reference desk? I wonder if there has been any broad discussion of what the pie chart should look like? My own pie chart at X!'s edit counter also shows a large percentage of edits outside articles and their talk pages, with about 29% at articles and talk pages and 52% at "Wikipedia." I note that if I am going along patrolling articles, and I find one which looks like it needs an AFD, nominating it for AFD adds one to the "Articles" total, one to user talk(to notify the article creator), and two to "Wikipedia" (The actual AFD and the AFD log.) If one participates in AFDs, the comments, "keeps" (often including the posting at AFD of references which can improve an article) or "deletes" only add to the "Wikipedia" total (thus "worrisome"). Ditto for answering questions at the Reference Desk. If an editor reverts vandalism and warns the vandal, there is one "User talk" edit along with the one "article" edit. Trying to achieve that goal of "lots of article and article talk" edits could mean avoiding AFD and Ref Desk, and avoiding warning vandals or PRODing and AFDing articles, while adding lots of comments on article talk pages. I'm not sure that really makes for a better Wikipedia. What do you think? Regards. Edison ( talk) 20:40, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I think the official source cited [1] actually points us in the other direction: the use of "Taiwan" in the first line to refer to the scope of the elections (the island and its people) is opposed to "ROC Central Election Commission", the official political entity overseeing the election, which uses ROC in its name.

Having seen this exchange I gave up any hope that the dispute can be mediated. Unfortunately the Greater China coverage and debates here are becoming more and more like that of the Chinese Wikipedia where stakeholders are divided into factions who refuse to talk to each other. Worse, everyone assumes bad faith in their counterparts, sees the speck in others' eyes but have no idea about the plank in their own eyes. Der yck C. 11:16, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
The reversion of the HIV/AIDS in China was an oversight by me. However, the bolded text in lead sections do not have to be identical to the article title. I see no harm in the long form. The move of the countries template has no bearing on this issue as WP:COMMONNAME (and its underlying rationale) deals with article titles, not article text. Just because the countries template has been moved does not mean that every instance of "People's Republic of China" should be rendered as "China". This is a point made in the draft decision for the Taiwan move.
I don't see how this edit is an improvement. The disambiguation is across historical periods. "People's Republic of China" represents an existing polity while "Republic of China" represents a historical period. Suggesting that "China" and "Republic of China" are separate concepts is just plain confusing. What purpose does shortening "People's Republic of China" to "China" serve there? I thought we agreed not to change these terms around unless there is a good reason to.-- Jiang ( talk) 05:09, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello NULL. I was looking over WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Instantnood and observe that you've previously submitted material to that case. From the March 2012 discussion, it looks as though the SPI clerk was not convinced that the editors from 202.189.* were the same as Instantnood. On behavior there is no problem identifying 202.189.98.131 with Jeffrey Fitzpatrick. The hard part is showing Instantnood-like behavior from JF. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 03:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Okay, well here's a first pass analysis. There are 48 pages of overlap between Instantnood and Jeffrey Fitzpatrick, meaning both of them have edited the same page. Excluding the Wikipedia and User_talk namespaces, this breaks down as follows. Jeffrey has edited:
In total, out of these four namespaces Jeffrey has edited 131 distinct pages, of which 41 overlap with Instantnood's edits. This gives an overlap of 31%. This seems high.
Individual analysis of some of the overlapping pages shows some very similar edits between the two editors:
Other circumstantial similarities exist.
We know that Jeffrey and Instantnood are both from Hong Kong. We know that they have edited from the same IP ranges in the past. We know that they both hold identical strong political views. We know they both have a marked interest in working on Taiwan articles. Their mannerisms, method of argument and WP:IDHT mentality are very similar to each other. They both refused to acknowledge when they're in the wrong and continued to edit disruptively in pursuit of their particular WP:POINT. They both showed signs of attempting to WP:GAME the system to support their cause, whether it be to avoid scrutiny or to cry foul when someone objected to their edits. These, combined with what I consider to be highly suggestive evidence above, leads me to believe there is a strong chance Jeffrey is Instantnood.
So the question then is, where do we go from here? –

Sorry to butt in. My own view is that Instantnood was banned long enough ago that blocking Jeffrey for socking would be constantly questioned. On the other hand, if Jeffrey's own behaviour is disruptive, he should be blocked for that. If he ends up blocked and if socking starts, those socks can be blocked fairly uncontroversially at SPI. wctaiwan ( talk) 03:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
"Article describes them as advocates of policy to the administration. This is the definition of a pressure group." [16] It doesn't identify itself with a particular policy ideology nor does it seek to influence public opinion. Its motives isn't based upon any shared political, faith, moral or commercial position. It's only a thinktank or a policy research institute. It isn't like other pressure groups in Hong Kong. Jeffrey ( talk) 01:27, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
"Spans prior to creation of PRC" [17] All articles under this category are about topics after 1949. Although Ma Yinchu was born before 1949, his involvement in population policy was all after that year. The One-Child Policy was introduced in 1978. Both Heihaizi and Iron Fist Campaign are about the One-Child Policy. If it does span prior to the creation of the PRC, could you please elaborate? Thanks. Jeffrey ( talk) 13:00, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Null, I am reluctant to provide my rationale here because you (and others) probably won't like it. Yet, I will do so because you asked. Above all it was clear to me that there was no concensus to move to the suggested title among the participants. Additionally, no one for or against provided policy based arguments. The support arguments clung to the notion that the inclusion of Hong Kong and Macau in the content demanded a different name. If that content was removed, then would a new name be appropriate? The conflict between China, PRC, ROC and Taiwan nomenclature is complicated but recent RM decisions aren't binding on future and other RMs. WP:PRECEDENT. Thus, my decision was not to move the title based on the discussion as presented. -- Mike Cline ( talk) 23:39, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Just to let you know, that was my first ever ITN nomination, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything like that again. In all honesty, my post about it not being posted was a tactic, but not manipulation. I figured pointing that out would help, but I had no idea it would be posted so quickly or that it would inspire the venom that followed. I decided to have some fun and claim I knew it would happen to make the users that responded negatively feel foolish.
Although it wasn't my intention, I do hope that my shenanigans will help to stop that kind of stuff from happening again, because although I don't participate in ITN often, I do check the noms regularily, and I often see all kinds of manipulation and dirty tactics.
