[edit] Article Creation

I noticed that you created a lot of entries about poems by the poet Victor Hugo. I was wondering if you could add more than one sentence on each. If you leave them as they are, they're likely to be deleted... Alexforcefive 15:54, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Please note that the article you wrote on Paladin Press, American Dragon: Jake Long (Animated Series), and Isometric Exercises was copied from http://www.paladin-press.com/history.aspx, http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-26513, and http://www.clearleadinc.com/site/exer_isometrics.html respectively.

[edit] Copyrights

While the paladin press page might have been copyrighted I just want to say that the articles on American Dragon and Isometric exercises were not found at the sites you specified. And I think that to an extent the widespread use of those articles across the internet is proof that there is no copyright. If you run a search of the text I posted you eill find it on multiple sites. And finally while I apoligize if I violated any copyrights my only intention was to get the articles started so others could edit them.--Gary123 23:28, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC) --Gary123 23:28, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but it looks to me like they were. Everything in the first paragraph of the american dragon article is copied from this site, and the isomorphic exercises article was copied word for word from the first section of this site. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. -Frazzydee|✍ 23:33, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I have no doubts that the articles would be helpful to wikipedia, but we can't have copyright violations here, no matter what. If you want to write a short bit about them, feel free to edit these links, which will be placed into the old copyvio article in about 2-3 weeks. Paladin Press, American Dragon: Jake Long, Isometric Exercises. Have fun! -Frazzydee|✍ 23:46, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

When I said that I didn's copy them from the sites you specified what I meant was that they were taken from sites other than the ones you mentioned. Which means that these passages are pretty widespread across the internet especial the isometric exercise article which is word for world in a huge amount of websites.--Gary123 00:05, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Fortunately, Wikipedia isn't like other websites. We don't just steal text from others. There is still a copyright on the texts in question, the websites that have the same text just stole it form each other. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia. ✏ OvenFresh☺ 17:07, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Anatomy of Revolution

I finished the book last week and seem to remember that the phases go from Old regime to moderate to radical and then back to moderate in the Thermidorian reaction. I edited accordingly. KevinPuj 21:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Smith

I saw your post on Miborovsky's page. Was John Smith the author of the section "Millitary Spending" in the article People's Liberation Army#Miscellaneous?--Hillgentleman 03:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

sorry dont know anything about it. --Gary123 03:20, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Since all but the opening sentence in that paragraph Millitary Spending is about the USA rather than about the liberation army, I intend to remove it.--Hillgentleman 04:27, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hogan

You should include some of his Hogan's contributions ("建樹", I would say.) For example, what did he achieve in gang busting? (quote:"His early career was mostly concerned with gang busting") --Hillgentleman 04:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Just in case anyone had any doubts John Smith's had to proove to us where he stands.Dont let his hyperbole fool you look at the subject matter of his previous edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=John+Smith%27s --Gary123 04:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. in addition to being compltely unrelated to NYC many of his recent edits happedn to be "related" to articles I had contributed to. This all started because I argued with him on the Unknown Mao page!--Gary123 04:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Gary123, I do not care about John Smith, but I do wish to know more about Frank Hogan. I want to know what his achievements are.--Hillgentleman 04:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

sorry i misunderstood. still somebody should look into what Johnsmith has been doing its criminal! Punishing me for having ana argument with him! --Gary123 04:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Smith's's vindictive campaign against me

When I discovered how far Mao the unknown story had influenced wikipedia I was disturbed and its influence on the Red Star Over China article was the last straw so I complained on the Mao the UK story page. John Smith's has responded with a vendetta against all articles I have edited. I didnt want to belive it at first but the facts speak for themselves.

PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING PAGES FOR DETAILS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mao:_The_Unknown_Story#Unknown_History_VIRUS_INFECTING__wikipedia_one_article_at_a_time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Red_Star_Over_China#Unknown_VIRUS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:People%27s_Volunteer_Army http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Frank_Hogan

John Smith's has bravely taken it upon himself to hide all evidence out of his dispute kindly removing his responces as well out of "good will", not one to dispute his altruism you can see the history pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Red_Star_Over_China&oldid=81886006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Volunteer_Army&oldid=90390582 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mao:_The_Unknown_Story/Archive_1#Unknown_History_VIRUS_INFECTING__wikipedia_one_article_at_a_time http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Frank_Hogan&oldid=81822987

The facts have completelty vindicated my side of the story!

[edit] Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point

Gary, about this John Smith's thing, please do us all a favor and read Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Then go read Wikipedia:Resolving disputes if you still feel like you have a legit gripe. crazyeddie 06:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I never disrupted any wikipedia articles, I only posted my complaint on relevant talk pages. In no way did I disrupt wikipedia and in fact I think that they were legitimate points on the discussion page. Its not like I eidite a single main article page. If I did get close to the edge of breaking any rules, it was only because I was outraged at Johnsmith's sneaky methods of retalitaion after we had a legit debate about a particukar source.

PS About the book review I was just using it as a way to show Bevin's POV about the war without bias. --Gary123 07:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Cross-posting the same statement on several article talkpages is, in fact, disruptive. It is also rather headache-making and not likely to make people want to see your side of the story. You'd probably be better off trying to contact John Smith's on his personal talkpage, which would also tend to bring you into contact with other people who might have a gripe with him. If that doesn't work, Wikipedia:Resolving disputes does have some suggestions. Now, is this dispute still a live one? Maybe I can help. crazyeddie 08:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Whoose disrupting wikipedia to make a point now CRAZY? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Frank_Hogan I just found out about this debate today weeks after it occured just shows you how the general wikipedia community feels about your actions! And PS the reason I just found out about this debate is because I have been unable to use wikipedia because of the fear that the two of you would pursue any of my edits with the childish vindictiveness you have shown in the past!--Gary123 20:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't think there's a live dispute any more, though I would appreciate it if Gary would just move on and not spam any more talk pages. I have removed comments from both him and myself as they are irrelevant to any discussions and can be viewed as personal attacks. If you still have a problem with me you can file a complaint somewhere - use the help function. John Smith's 10:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VINDICATION

The results of the Frank Hogan VFD speak for themselves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Frank_Hogan and the complete shutout for crazyeddie and johnsmith suggest the degree to which the attempt first at speedy deletion then at vfd were attempts at personal vindictiveness While the dispute between me is no longer "live" in the sense that John Smith's has ceased "going after" unrelated articles I have written he still insists that my attempt to question the way wikipedia has adopted unknown mao as a source in nearly all mao related articles despite its sloppy scholarship, he still calls it SPAM when the only places I posted my complaint was on Red Star Over China which I felt was the most blatant example and at the UK Mao main talk page. As for crazyeddy while his inital invovlement in the affair was certainly respectable I feel his attempt to revie the deletion of Frank Hogan after notable users more knowledgable about NYC was shady at best. Wikipedia is all about challenging edits to a high standard and I have no problem with that I do have a problem with people who pursue disagreents into unrelated areas. Initally I considered crazyeddie just someone trying to help but his disgracegful attempt at deleting Frank Hogan was most upsetting. I've been editing wikipedia for some time now and some of my articles have thanks to the help of many users become fully fleshed out articles. The PVA article where Johnsmith began his vandalism was created almost singlehandedly by me. I've been challenged on wikipedia before and am always willing to discuss but the actions of these two users was more disgusting than discussion. For the record although user Johnsmith says the sipute is no longer on going he has still never given any explaination whatsoever for hi attempts to delete Frank Hogan and PVa which I first accused him of.

John Smith's has bravely taken it upon himself to hide all evidence out of his dispute kindly removing his responces as well out of "good will", not one to dispute his altruism you can see the history pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Red_Star_Over_China&oldid=81886006 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Volunteer_Army&oldid=90390582 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mao:_The_Unknown_Story/Archive_1#Unknown_History_VIRUS_INFECTING__wikipedia_one_article_at_a_time http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Frank_Hogan&oldid=81822987

The facts have completelty vindicated my side of the story!

Im glad they got their just desserts

[edit] user:crazyeddie

I take backy what I said about crazy eddie trying to help he started up the Frank Hogan deletion controversy after more knowledgable users had already shut down the idea and he had the audacity to suggest that the PVA didnt exists because of his own ignorance.
