[edit] Re: Kai Wong

hello, please undelete page for Kai Wong. There has been an error. Thank you. ---mickeymi923

It was removed under WP:CSD as it was a repost of things deleted under WP:AFD policy. If you disagree, then take Kai WOng to Deletion review.Blnguyen | rant-line 07:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

According to Wikipedia deletion and page-protection regulations, deletion of an article needs to be done in a panel and reasons need to be cited. Please undelete wrongly deleted articles such as Kai Wong, Kai Christophe Wong. Thank you.

Kai Wong was deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kai Wong. Subsequent repost was deleted under WP:CSD criteria G4. Kai Christophe Wong is a duplicate of Kai Wong and is also eligible for deletion as G4. Then, if you want to overturn the decision, you need to use Deletion review.Blnguyen | rant-line 07:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello good friend! There's really no point in vandalizing Wikipedia.… Countless users have tools and programs that spot vandalism, and we have almost a constant lineup of users who volunteer to monitor harmful edits, as well as automated bots that can locate vandalism and change it back almost instantly. Vandalism just like yours has been done countless times in the past, and we know how to deal with it. Yes, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia anyone can edit, and sure, it might be tempting to totally fuck an article up, but that's not what we're here to do. If you'd like to edit Wikipedia in a constructive manner that doesn't make you look like a complete idiot, feel free to do so, otherwise, it's best to just leave it alone. That saves you the time of making pointless changes, and saves me the time of reverting those changes just as fast, if not faster, than you make them. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy using, and maybe editing, Wikipedia. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 00:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

What are you referring to sir? And what's more your name is not JarlaxleArtemis.Blnguyen | rant-line 08:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Moderator, please undelete this page. This page has been in existence for two years. In April this year, one Moderator engaged in some racist attacks against other Asian wikipedians and abused his privilege by deleting this page. This is really unfair because there one-quarter of the world are Asians and although not every Asian speaks English, this page deserved not to be vandalized. Besides Kai Wong is rumored to appear on Rush Hour 3 starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Thank you. - ZiyiZhang -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.156.6.54 (talk • contribs).

It was removed because by User:Lar because of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kai Wong, who is definitely not racist and did not launch any racist attack or unilateral deletion. It was reposted and I removed it because it was a repost of deleted material. Oh, and I'm Asian also. If you want to appeal, please use Deletion review.Blnguyen | rant-line 06:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Srikeit's RfA

Sorry about that. See, I find it a hassle to edit whole articles, and seeing as the RfA page is made up of smaller, less large sections, I usually type in (by hand, manually, without any references to aid me) "Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/(name here)" so when I saw his RfA that's what I did, except I didn't notice and forgot to place the two there. Forgive me. Aaрон Кинни (t) 04:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for the revert on my userpage. DVD+ R/W 04:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

And again, thanks. DVD+ R/W 04:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

I explained at User talk:Crzrussian the reasons for my having declined the nomination, but I thought I ought to write here to thank you first for your initial support (and the celerity with which it was given) and additionally for your very cordial and understanding message apropos of real life, et cetera. Recapitulating my message to Crz, lest you should have to wade through the mess that once more illustrates that I can't express any thought, irrespective of size or import, in fewer than 200 words, I didn't mean to suggest that I was leaving the project (my diametrically opposed words to the contrary notwithstanding) and wrote cursorily and incompletely only in order that you (or others) shouldn't take time to craft a conomination; I'd intended straightaway to write Crz and you to explain but was stuck at Portal:Tennis. In any case, I'm going to be returning to my full seven-hour exercise program (take that Stephen Holland; I used the wayback machine for that one...)soon, having recovered fully from an abdominal injury, and so I'll not have as much time to edit here for the next few weeks, and the bulk of my edits will surely be to mainspace and portalspace, such that I'd be unlikely to do much with the tools, which is, for most RfA participants, a great turnoff. I meant, then, not to express a disinterest in adminship generally but, rather, a disinterest at the moment, and will edit my RfA comments accordingly. When I can be sure that I'll have more time to contribute here consistently and to aid the project with the admin tools, I'll likely seek adminship, and I hope that, having understood that my denial wasn't some melodramatic I'm leaving the project declaration but, instead, a nip this in the bud and then explain later and individually placeholder, you'll be once more inclined to support me. Apologies for the confusion... Joe 06:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assessments

Hi, and thanks for your Barnstar (I must find somewhere to hang them proud one day). I'm still fiddling with the template and hopefully advancing it to be able to cope with the Australian hierarchy as a whole, or part of it at least in the short term, with support for WikiProjects. I'm just grabbing a sample of most article types for now to see what type of coverage is required by the project, and where coverage is lacking. By breaking Australia down in this sense, we can see which areas of Australian coverage are badly lacking in quality and detail. Feel free to list any articles you'd like to see assessed quickly at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Australia/Assessment#Requesting_an_assessment. -- Longhair 06:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] My dear B

Sweet dear B, once again, I am deeply touched by your beautiful gesture and your kindness to me. You truly are a shining spirit, and every day, you become more and more special to me. Your gift is much more than I could ask for - I'll display it with gratitude and pride for as long as I call myself a Wikipedian.

Dear B, I'd like to talk to you in private, if that's possible. Is there any chance we can meet in IRC, or MSN? Otherwise, I'll just email you. I hope you're doing fine, hun - have a great hug from this side of the ocean ;) Kisses, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 23:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I really messed things up, didn't I, my dear B? I'm so incredibly sorry. Phædriel ♥ tell me - 08:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

No, sweetheart, it's what "I" have done, not you - you've been, as usual, a true gentleman. I don't wanna discuss this in public tho, so I'll send you an email. xxx Phædriel ♥ tell me - 08:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Blocking

Yeah, Sam Blanning saw a post that I didn't, which definitly constituted an indef block, so I'm glad it got put on. I wasn't 100% sure before that that it was a vandal-only account - guess I'm assuming too much good faith! ;) Also, since your talk page says that you are somewhat on Wikibreak, I hope it is going nice and relaxing-like, and that everything works out. -- Natalya 11:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duong Trieu Vu

I know you're on semi-Wikibreak now, but could you try to translate more of Duong Trieu Vu? Stifle has taken it to AfD. Just think - this could be your first translated-from-Vietnamese article that gets kept! Please help save it! :) Kimchi.sg 14:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sydney suburbs

Thanks for recognising my efforts with a Barnstar. I've still got heaps to go. I'll keep continuing to provide as much local knowledge and history that I have on suburbs in southern Sydney. I'm starting to take a few photos, when I'm out and about in the local area, so I'll keep loading those too. J Bar 03:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for watching and reverting the vandalism on my page, too --rogerd 03:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Dont let the backlogs get to you! Wikipedia will survive, it has survived its basis in mutually assured "anarchy" so far. Thanks for fixing this and this. They are both on my watchlist and I missed both of them. You are not going crazy yet! Ansell 04:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Good work with the Thorpey speculation... Wonder when that one got onto the page. And I thought the page was relatively quiet. Ansell 04:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
All three of your recent admin nominations were really good. I dont usually get into RfA but these nominations were really really well researched. You seem to have found the ultimate way out of your personal "backlog hell". Ansell 05:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I can't figure out whether these images Image:2FE.JPG Image:P1013085.JPG Image:P1183144.JPG created by Bevsta (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) are speedy candidates in any way. The user was blocked, not banned, so they don't quite come under that criteria. Ansell 07:42, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

We can just delete it normally right? He isn't banned so they won't be speedied. Just a tattoo pic right, or is there something I shouldn't see? Blnguyen | rant-line 07:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I will put them up for deletion then. There was nothing more than the tattoo and a few bikes, just wondering whether you knew the system any better than I. Ansell 07:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sweet dear B



I'm sorry you had to listen to the foolish thoughts of a silly girl while you were stressed and having a tough time, my beloved B. Your words have relieved me, but your absence is saddening; and not only because of our friendship, but because it's Wikipedia's loss as a whole to have you away, even for a short while. I'll be waiting for you to return whenever you feel the time is right; please, relax, you've worked so incredibly hard in the last times, that you desperately need a soothing rest. I'll always be around in case you feel like talking. Your friend, now and always, Phædriel ♥ tell me - 09:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nominator!

I noticed you've been nominating quite a few users for adminship! That's very kind of ya. I agree that we do need more admins as waiting for vandals to be blocked at AIV for 10+ minutes and the articles for speedy deletion building up can get annoying. Regards, Andeh 13:23, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, somebody noticed. Yes, it is probably related to the burn-out mentioned at the top of the page.Blnguyen | rant-line 01:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lebanese Australians

I am not happy with the content on the link - it lists rapists as notable Lebanese australians. they are criminals that tarnish our reputation. I believe I am entitled to remove their names. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.166.110.125 (talk • contribs).

Just a note. This happens to everyone. All notable people of any group are listed there, whether they are good or not. See Vietnamese Australian or Chinese Australian or just List of Australians. Unfortunately, every ethnic group, will have criminals there, as the articles are meant to give information, even if it is unpleasant. Blnguyen | rant-line 06:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

A definition of notable:

notable:Worthy of note or notice; remarkable: notable beauty; Characterized by excellence or distinction; eminent: formed a commission of notable citizens. See Synonyms at noted.

A person of distinction or great reputation. often Notable One of a council of prominent persons in pre-Revolutionary France called into assembly to deliberate at times of emergency.

Bilal Skaf and Mohammed Skaf - convicted gang-rapists, are not defined in the above.

I am not arguing if you are biased or not, I am merely stating fact.

The real issue is that all criminals, living in Australia, who have committed their crimes in Australia, are AUSTRALIANS. Categorising by race is an easy way of blaming ethnicity.

I think that they are notable, there are plenty of criminals in Wikipedia, like Ivan Milat, Martin Bryant. Your point about blaming ethnicity for crime is not valid I think, because if so then one might also have to to remove Steve Bracks on the reverse point that an ethnic group would thereby "take credit" for a positive member of the community. Basically, either they all stay or all go, and perhaps a better way to discuss would be Australian noticeboard with the whole community. Also I think you should register an account because you are interested in serious debate and many users are reluctant to deal with anonymous editors.Blnguyen | rant-line 06:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I've faced this problem before a while back now, over at List of Australians. It seems some people are wanting the criminal aspect of their society removed. As you can see, the content remains. I think you handled this very well. Cheers. -- Longhair 07:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland Eurovision

I've replied on my own page, but I'll post here as well:
I'd prefer it slightly if you left the page-creation up to me (I've got the "templates" I use saved as Notepad files on my computer, so it'll probably be a mite faster - also, if you're Wikibreaking and I'm not then I should probably be able to get them done faster), but you're welcome to add extra info to any of the songs - particularly where Ireland's concerned, I really only know the winners well. If you want, I could go directly to Ireland from Estonia when that part gets done. That said, if you want to create the pages, be my guest. I'll whiz through them later and create what isn't there and standardise what is. BigHaz 08:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Thought you might like some coffee. I was up to 5 XL coffees a day a couple of months ago (thanks Tim Hortons!) Just like you can't solve all the world's problems, you can't solve all of WP's problems.

[edit] Re: Olympic torch + stuff 2

And thank you for writing such wonderful nominations! By the way, I saw you were stressed and hope you know that while this project is extremely lucky to have such a dedicated and kind contributor like you, we all need some time off to relax as well. So sit back, enjoy your wikibreak, and maybe focus more on writing some articles. :) Kind regards, Sango123 23:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

I saw your rebuttals in there. Thanks, I appreciate it. It looks really close, too. I've more or less anticipated this because I suddenly have a lot of freetime after 18 months of school and thus relatively few edits during that time frame. Oh well, there's always a next time and there's no rush for me to become admin. I don't plan on leaving Wikipedia during my lifetime. Damn Wikiholism. ;-) --Chris S. 03:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chemical compounds are not "automatically notable"

There's even an official policy at Wikipedia:Notability (numbers)#Related issues. Chemical compounds are "not by definition encyclopedic, unless they have some sort of unusual chemical, economic or industrial significance". The particular compound antimony trichloride, however, is certainly notable, because it was known to the alchemists as "butter of antimony" and it is used as a reagent for detecting vitamin A and other carotenoids. If you had added a fact like that before removing the importance tag, I'd be much happier. In the future, please don't simply remove the importance tag without adding anything to show importance. —Keenan Pepper 04:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pakistan

Hi,

I have warned him. He seems to be the same person who has been attacking me on my user and talk pages. But I don't know what he would get by vandalising Pakistan's page. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 05:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I also warned the vandals who attacked your userpage. I wonder why they weren't warned for this before. BTW, how did you make the noteriety graph? I was wondering how my graph would look like. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:39, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I never thought that the Pakistan article would be protected because of me. That too in the light that I am hardly a contributor to the article. The last time I edited it was 2 weeks back while reverting vandalism of non-Ambuj Saxena vandal! I also saw that you protected a lot of my user pages. Thanks for being a prompt admin. And enjoy your WikiBreak, if at all you are taking one. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 08:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Encouragement, sympathy, etc.

I came here to wonder why you put a backlog tag on the NS category, when it was actually up-to-date - July 6th is 7 days ago, so we can't delete those items till tomorrow. But then I read your message at the top, and it prompted me to re-think what I was going to write. Pardon the vehemence, but - GO BACK TO WRITING ARITCLES! - we need that far more than we need an admin tasks done, and it's far harder to do. I speak as a WikiGnome; someone who has been doing maintence tasks since before I became a janitor, and simply continued - we need article writers far more than we need more maintence people - yes, the backlogs grow gigantic, and continue on as far as the eye can see, but - what we are here to do is write articles - that's what we have all come together for, and what our intention and purpose is. Please don't trade time you could spend writing articles for anything - it's our most precious and rare resource. I hope this is of some help - if I can do anything else, please let me know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 00:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. I have a semi-automatic tool I use to handle the no_source categories, and it checks the the pages have been uploaded more than 7 days ago, no exceptions (and that they haven't been edited in the last day, just as a further check), so I don't usually get to the NS categories until at least one day past the 7 days. A backlog, to me, is 2 or 3 days beyond the 7 day limit. As for PRODs - I'm not that familiar with the non-toolserver process, but I assume people cut it close due to non-automatic checking (which was available on the toolserver, may it soon return). Glad there are other people concerned about the backlogs. JesseW, the juggling janitor 01:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to reiterate what JesseW says above. WP is too big for anyone to carry the whole thing on their shoulders, and if anything the backlog of excellent article writing is the one we should all be working on :) Happy wishes, Ziggurat 01:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm not sure what to do with this

An I.P. address change the redricet page for Cibolo to "Cibolo is the Spanish word for buffalo" I reverted it and sent him a new user warning. After I sent him that message I looked back to Cibolo and found and it said "Cibolo is the Spanish word for buffalo" so went to the edit page and it said in the text #REDIRECT [[Cibolo,texas]]. I did revert it again and a few minutes latter I found out it said it again. I looked at the history and it said that the user only edited it once.--Scott3 00:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] possible copyvios

Hi Blnguyen, I see you are online now. Wanted to ask a few questions:

  • As a newbie, I had copy pasted text to a few articles. The articles are substantially changed now. But the text obviously remains in the history.
  • Is it possible to remove just the history and let the present article remain?
  • Is it possible to delete just sections of an article?
  • Should I just put the speedy tag on such articles?

Anybody else reading this please feel free to reply -- Lost 02:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Panairjdde and Centrx

They are purposefully editing my comments and the reporting me to admin for forcing a civil discussion on the page. I request you to consider my case, as I have always been civil, cited my sources, and talked about the issue at hand. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.141.69.21 (talk • contribs) 04:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


I removed Panairjdde only after he did so to my decent proposal of adding a controversy sectionand asking for sources to a paragraph, quite pointedly. I am an advocate for civil discussion and there is no vandalism, at least on my part. 05:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)~

Which is what is being done. Should we proclaim that the provocation that led to the headbutt was a qualified "non racist", noting that there is a FIFA hearing on the 20th to decide that matter, and none of the media have come to that interpretation, or should we say that these comments are ubder FIFA scanner and desist from qualifying them with our judgement. Please see what I am trying to do and not what is being told to you by 'old hands'. I have followed this topic with some interest, and I have no intent to either reduce it to gossip or idle chatter. I have used sources and all my debating skills to bring a pertinent point to the fore.

[edit] Reverting Talk page comment

On Talk:Marco Materazzi you responded to a rather tangential comment unrelated to Wikipedia article discussion. Because the user who added the comment to which you responded has been vandalizing this page by blanking comments by others and his non-vandalistic comments are still not about improving the article, I have been reverting his edits entirely. I am careful with comments added by others in the interval, though it is a pain, but in removing his comment, your comment would be dangling so I would like to remove it as well. I have not yet reverted, because I am not going to keep reverting this vandalism every minute, so I will wait until he has been blocked or until it has been a little while. —Centrx→talk • 04:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I assumed it was vandalism (and wasn't you). If it was you, please accept my apologies. Daniel.Bryant (aka Killfest2) 06:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to your message on my talk page

No, I don't have any close relatives living in Mumbai. Although I was still pretty shocked by the attacks. I've just been editing a little less on wiki recently because I had other things to do. Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:35, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] If you're still online...

...can you check up on my report here. I wouldn't ask, except this kind of behaviour can ruin someone's prospects of gaining future positions of authority on Wikipedia. Daniel.Bryant (aka Killfest2) 08:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Well it probably isn't affecting that person, it is however periodically keeping me from editing, how long a block is it anyway?--152.163.100.5 01:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm not sure what to do with this

An I.P. address change the redricet page for Cibolo to "Cibolo is the Spanish word for buffalo" I reverted it and sent him a new user warning. After I sent him that message I looked back to Cibolo and found and it said "Cibolo is the Spanish word for buffalo" so went to the edit page and it said in the text #REDIRECT [[Cibolo,texas]]. I did revert it again and a few minutes latter I found out it said it again. I looked at the history and it said that the user only edited it once.--Scott3 00:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
