[edit] Template:JMSDF Combatant Ship

It is better solution to create ”current and future ship classes template”. See Template:Current and future combatant ship classes of the JMSDF.--Open-box 05:45, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FN Charles de Gaulle

Please help me with a WIKI arbitration on the India-Pakistan section of FN CHarles de Gaulle. There is a user who keep on reverting to claims that are (in my opinion) not WIKI rules. Please arbitrate. I do not know how to call for an arbitration. Thanks.

[edit] Plagiarism stolen from the samurai archives

Thanks for taking notice of all of the problms with "Darin Fidika" stealing wholesale from the Samurai archives website. I have been making noise for three days ever since I saw user Nagaeyari post about it. But people keep flip flopping and waffling here. This is ridiculous. The articles are clear plagiarism. In many cases, the guy tried to hide his plagiarism by adding incorrect info, if you can believe the gall of the guy.

Since I usually am just a quiet contributor who doesn't get involved in this sort of thing, how do you think we should proceed? There are easily over 100 more articles to go. --Monkeyheadster 23:40, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Geisha of Gion.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Geisha of Gion.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Angel EOW 02:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flow M

Good to see he got blocked. Tiananmen Square protests of 1989‎ is always going to be a battleground article. Stay vigilant!! --Mattarata 17:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Mao: The Unknown Story

Hi. Thanks for keeping this cordial and polite. (or as polite as we can manage. I understand feeling strongly about something can lead to somewhat heated moments.) I left a comment on the Mao: The Unknown Story discussion page. Your response would be valued. --Detruncate 03:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Smith's Willy

Hi. Sorry about the page move, it was only intended as a friendly joke. A lot of my friends call John Smith's bitter "John Smith's Willy" so I couldn't resist it. Anyway, I won't be doing that again so don't worry. Nice to see myself in your "vandalism hall of fame" though!--Boris Allen 15:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Hogan

Came across this through Gary123's berserker spree. Do you still want to delete this? I'm not sure which way I fall on it myself. If you do feel that Frank Hogan is non-notable, let's list it on WP:AfD. crazyeddie 00:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

It's up: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank Hogan Go vote. crazyeddie 01:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: the PVA article. A merger is a possibility, but let's hold off. I haven't really done any research on it yet. I wasn't even aware that the Chinese force was volunteer until I came across that article. It's not something that gets taught in history courses in this country - even in such classes as the "American Diplomatic Experience." I'm taking Modern Korean History next semester, I'll have to mention this to the prof. crazyeddie 16:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Considering your fiasco in helping Johnsmith delete a lowly insignificant public servant like Frank Hogan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Frank_Hogan you might want to lay off going after one of the most significant armies of 20th century conflict...--Gary123 20:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding User:Silivrenion speedy edits

Thanks for the insight. I'm just a little tired, and didn't fully check my edits before submitting. Again, thanks for the criticism, and I hope I didn't cause any big problems! Silivrenion 12:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mao Zedong

I'm not sure why you accused me of POV pushing, but that was a good faith attempt on my part to better organize the intro without changing the tilt in any way. It's not a content dispute or NPOV dispute. I've gone back to put some of the original wording back in, but if you're still not satisfied with it, please add what you think is still missing or remove what you think is inappropriate. -- ran (talk) 14:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
Regarding the reorganization, what I intended was for the praise to go together, and the criticisms to go together. Right now the paragraph swings from praise, to criticism, to misplaced topic sentence (Mao is controversial), to praise, and to criticism again.
Cheers,
-- ran (talk) 20:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
