[edit] Hong Sa Ik

I put this article on my watchlist as I'm curious to see what will happen next. Based on what I've seen with other articles related to similar subjects (although it seems to have quieted down a lot lately), the reactions to this article may be fairly interesting.

Thanks. I wonder if I really want to open up this can of worms ... but hey, if it wasn't me, it would be someone else, right? Will appreciate your expertise, and your assistance in dealing with more extreme "reactions" =). cab 00:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I notice the entry for this subject on the Japanese Wikipedia appears to have more details. I can't read Japanese well-enough to translate it for the English version. If you could translate some that would be very helpful, otherwise, I'll post a request for translation on the Japan project page. Cla68 01:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Done. I left out a few sentence fragments that felt like ethnic puffery, though ... cab 02:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Nice work. Thank you. Cla68 03:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re your comment on History of Chinese immigration to Canada

edit: since talk pages are not a general forum for discussion of the article's subject

Actually all the discussion DOES relate directly to the article's content and subject, which is so far presented in a highly POV fashion and is also full of a number of falsehoods and pastiche myths. The talk template is welcome, but don't presume that what's on the page doesn't relate to the article; it most assuredly DOES.Skookum1 22:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Not sure I'd agree 100% with that, but fair enough, thanks for your reply. Can I also suggest that you all begin using inline citations? I can provide help if you're not familiar with the use of citation templates. Cheers, cab 22:52, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did you know?

Updated DYK query On 29 November 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sōshi-kaimei, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Hi there, well done on such a big effort. Sorry about the careless commentary yesterday. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I know y'all updating DYK are busy and have lots of stuff to sift through. Thanks! cab 00:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
