[edit] HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Instantnood 16:20, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Original research

That policy is enforced differently in different places, you should read over What counts as a reputable publication? within the policy to form your own ideas about how to apply it, particularly When dispute arises regarding whether a publication is reputable, you can attempt to get more editors involved and work toward a consensus. There is no clear definition, but don't ignore your intuition.. Most of all, remember WP:IAR! :) I think that the NOR policy is invaluable for controversial articles and a good policy for other articles. Take a look at some POV disputes at some point and try to source some of them :) - FrancisTyers 17:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Right, thanks! --Lapin rossignol 17:08, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


Hey, I read your discussion about the wikipedia policy, and I find it very interesting. You're exactly right. People should be free to choose what's history and what isn't. I live in Hong Kong, and I'm working on a project that might be up your alley. Would you consider talking about this some more? Zachkchk 08:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NOR

Hi, I realize my comment, "if you don't like it, go elsewhere" sounds brusk. I apologize. I did not mean to offend you. I meant only to say that the internet has allowed for a great deal of experimentation and creativity, and there is a great variety of fora for expressing one's knowledge and views. Wikipedia is one such foum and has certain policies; Everything2 is another, with different policies. It honestly sounded to me like you would enjoy participating in that community more. However, I certainly did not mean to push you away from Wikipedia, and am sorry for the tone and effect of my comment, Slrubenstein | Talk 16:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] notability

Thanks for the support. Deletionists are in the midst of a campaign against articles of all types that they say are non-notable. This makes a lot of work for them, and a lot of waste for others re-creating stuff, instead of finding technological answers that would allow readers to filter out obscure stuff, if they want to. All kinds of things are on the chopping block, from music and advertising all the way to community services that some people desperately need. A huge amount of knowledge is at stake. How can we get the word out that this is happening? -- Marvin147 11:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation Policy

Hey Lapin, I remember posting a comment agreeing with your qualms about "NOR" and I thought you had some interesting ideas. If you get the chance please take a look at this citation policy post that I made. Thanks. -Snpoj 23:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please help

Hi! I got your username from the Association Inclusionist Wikipedians. I'm trying to work against a band of linkocrites (see en:User:cochese8). You look as if you're a valuable editor and I could really use some help [preserving] a great link. I would ask you to review the discussion and vote keep if you agree with the link's value. Thanks for your help! Cochese8 00:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

I was told by a user that you believe in a more inclusionist policy on wikipedia. I am having some trouble with an article some of us have been trying to write regarding a somewhat obscure holiday. If you agree it should be deleted, no big deal, but if you agree it should be included, I would appreciate any help you could offer in ending the AfD debate to keep the article. Thanks.
