Section titlez

Your lack of humor regarding Time in China disappoints me. You are a sad, sad, little man. Revert again and you will be blocked you blatant vandal. If you decide to respond, remember WP:AGF. Biatch, 165.247.83.156 20:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes and continue with using language like that, 165.247.83.156, you'll get blocked in no time as well. enochlau (talk) 22:42, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

> As a good sign, you should restore the deleted comments and your user talk page, and respond to them.

I might, some time. It could take a long time to find all those deleted comments in the edit history. Also, I don't agree that all those messages are important and require any responses. For some of the comments, as long as I get the message, I think that is already enough.

> You should also revert the undiscussed and unexplained edits you have made to the many articles across Misplaced Pages, and explain at the corresponding talk pages.

I hope you understand that not all edits in Misplaced Pages are discussed before they are made. I am sure you also did not discuss every single edits that you have made (1) , and lots of other users did not discuss either. I don't think I have to come and ask for your permission every time before I edit an article. This is not how things work here in Misplaced Pages. I also find it pretty unfair for you to require me to ask for your permission every time before I edit, while other users don't have to. If you disagree with my edit, you should point out what is wrong in the discussion page, rather than reverting it immediately. I find it pretty impolite for you to check every edits that I make * , and revert all of them. That was how revert war arose.

  • If you didn't check every single edit that I made, you wouldn't have been able to reverted my edits so quickly every time during the edit war, and you wouldn't know that I have made the {{UN-multilingual}} template. As a response to that, I have also been checking your contribution page. But I think both of us don't like the feeling of being "monitered". If you stop monitering my edits, I will stop monitering yours also.

> Settlements on Misplaced Pages should not be brought private.

Okay, we will see.

> In my opinion, jau gwei warrants its own article.

Okay, discuss about it in the discussion page. But tell me whether you want to work on an article about the street food in Hong Kong.

> Finally, I find it offensive to see your reminder at my talk page requesting me not to be offensive, for I've never ever done anything that was offensive to you.

You think that you have never ever done anything that was offensive to me. But you should not be the one to judge whether some sentences or some actions that you made were offensive. All people that did something offensive wouldn't admit that they are offensive. I also find it very offensive for you to say that you have not done anything offensive, and that all the responsibility are on me. If you have the willingness to resolve our disputes, I think we should stop accusing each other.

Hong Kong action cinema

hi, you may be interested that Hong Kong action cinema, an article you edited, is up as a featured article candidate. please go to Misplaced Pages:Featured_article_candidates/Hong_Kong_action_cinema to vote "support" or "object" with your comments, if you like. thx! Zzzzz 21:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

fyi, the article is now featured! rgs, Zzzzz 10:57, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

name change, other entities"

Hi there. I just noticed that you made a NOTE to the section I started about name changes and "other" entities on the TALK page of "countries by area". This was over a month ago, sorry, but I really just noticed it there. Anyway, it was not my intention to misrepresent you. The only reason I edited that section thusly was becausea user, Giandrea, had brought the EU issue to a mediation forum, and I told her (?) that I had already addressed her points in the talk page of "by area" and wasn't sure why she had brought the argument somewhere else when I had just addressed her points in the original TALK pages. So, I changed the name and the beginning of the section the hopes it would be easier for her (and any possible mediators) to find. I don't remember, but I guess I didn't delete your entry because I didn't feel right about touching someone else's words. I'll be more careful in the future. Take care.

Total Olympics medal count

I like the edits you made to this page to handle Hong Kong. Thanks for editing the introduction to better explain the situation, without re-opening the large debate we had on how to handle national changes over the past 110 years... Andrwsc 23:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

your template says "disputed, see talk page". You haven't said SQUAT on the talk page since adding it, and you've reverted like a hundred times. I've now archived the existing tl;dr talk page. GO TALK INSTEAD OF REVERTING. SchmuckyTheCat 05:36, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Recordings

Hello, Instantnood. I enjoy making audio recordings for Misplaced Pages a lot. As a native speaker of Chinese, I think it is my task to make some audio recordings for Chinese terms and to let more non-Chinese speakers know more about the language and the culture of ours. Actually, a Wikipedian from Sweden called Peter has been contributing a lot in making Chinese recordings. I appreciate his effort. However, he is not a native Chinese speaker. I hope there would be more native speakers joining us, because native speakers always make the most accurate pronunciation. So, you are from Hong Kong, aren't you? I bet you probably know Chinese. Would you like to help making some Chinese recordings together?

Also, about the United Nations issue...I think I am addicted to making audio recordings already. Originally, I would like to make some recording for the pronunciations of the Chinese names in the articles about the United Nations, as I saw that the Chinese names were there. It seems that some fools are going to delete the Chinese names from the article. That's sad. It seems that most of the people who suggest deleting the foreign names are American. Sigh...

Biography stubs sorting

Hi Instantnood - you wrote: Do you think it would be a good idea to sort biography stubs according to the "Family Name, Given Name" format?... That's probably a very good idea - I'll add it to the suggestions at WP:WSS/P#Other stub-related discussions for debate. Grutness...wha? 01:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Category:Self-declared Emperors and Kings

I changed my vote to delete since my original category wasn't very clear and there didn't appear to be any support. I would like to support the creation of your category but I'm afraid we don't have a good definition of what a self-declared emperor or king is or isn't. Although I could be wrong, a quick look through Category:Emperors reveals that some leaders declared themselves Emperors, leading to a line of succession, with "legitimate" Emperors continuing that line (this could be controversial) while others usurped the title altogether. If you can help me clear up the categorical distinctions I would appreciate it, as I'm hopelessly confused.  :-) Some wikipedians might argue that all Emperors and Kings are "self-declared", so we need to draw some kind of line, here. —Viriditas | Talk 01:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

TFd stuff

I've noticed the relatively large number of "userfy" votes you make at TFD for the former country infoboxes, and wouldlike to understand your reason for them. After all, these (including the oddball one for Template:Infobox University2 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)) are little more than "Keep, but don't use" votes. It'd be nice ifyou culd make it clear whether you want them moved to your or somebody else's userpace too.It makeslittlesense to ask for a template to be moved in someone else's userspace, IMHO. If you want them moved to your own userspace, I can copy those I deleted there. Circeus 01:59, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Administrative divisions

...is a problematic term for a cat name that deals with territories in one country:

  • the term "division (subnational entity)" itself is used for country subdivisions in India, Myanmar and Bangladesh. The divisions of Pakistan were dissolved. The rename would result in Administrative divisions being subcategory to Administrative divisions
  • Administrative division can also apply to non-territorial divisioning (of government areas, i.e. Defense, Interior)
  • Administrative division would exclude other kinds of country subdivisions

best regards Tobias Conradi (Talk) 22:13, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

BTW, I know that "subdivision" is somehow problematic, espicially this seems to be true for people with US housing subdivision background, or knowledge of Canadian Census subdivision. But the US term only developped that way. It's an abbreviated use. See talk:Country subdivision of examples how the term is used in different places in WP that have nothing at all to do with housing subdivision. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 22:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

It looks we have the same opinion as on what the cats could include. Maybe you like to join the oppose camp (do not split Subdivisions of XY into Administrative divisions of XY and Political division of XY, do not rename, because all other names are same problematic or even more.)

On 7-Jan, you tagged the redirect Ng Hoi Yee for deletion, but you did not list it at Misplaced Pages:Redirects for deletion. I have added it to that page for discussion. You may wish to add a comment there if you still wish to see this redirect deleted. In the future, if you nominate a redirect for deletion, please list it. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. -- JLaTondre 02:48, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

HK Wikipedians 2nd meetup 2006 Summary

How's your day recently?! And how's about Hong Kong Wikipedian's Board? Our last meetup you can read thru here -- zh:Misplaced Pages:聚會/2006香港第二次春聚, do u have any interest held one like that for Englsih Wikipedians in Hong Kong? Anyway, hope we can join together next time!! --Stewart~惡龍 (Chat&講!) 21:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

If there're any big news on Hong Kong Wikipedian's Board, plz do inform me! See ya! --Stewart~惡龍 (Chat&講!) 05:57, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Article editing bans

Because of your recent disruptive editing, I'm implementing the following article bans under remedy 3 "Instantnood placed on Probation" and enforcement measure 1 ("Procedure for banning in Probation") of Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Instantnood 3.

Please don't take this as a definitive list. The message is that you're still far too aggressive in your edits and you need to revert less, discuss more and respect other people's opinions. --Tony Sidaway 14:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I've responded on my own talk page. --Tony Sidaway 15:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Just a note that I blocked Alanmak and I appreciate your attempt to add {{unsigned}} on SchmuckyTheCat's talk page. Ashibaka tock 01:46, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, a block

SchmuckyTheCat pointed out that Tony Sidaway gave you page blocks and you didn't pay attention, so first, I'll expand his page ban to all of the pages you revert warred over in the past two days:

  • Las Vegas Sands two weeks, ban ends 14:00 UTC 6 May, 2006
  • Share taxi two weeks, ban ends 14:00 UTC 6 May, 2006
    I wouldn't have to block you on this if you'd simply put your comments on the talk page and waited for a reply, rather than reverting it and giving him the heads up in an edit summary.
  • Estádio Campo Desportivo two weeks, ban ends 14:00 UTC 6 May, 2006
  • Douhua two weeks, ban ends 14:00 UTC 6 May, 2006

This is not a license to revert war on even more articles. If I were you I'd apply WP:1RR until people regained faith in your contributions.

In addition, I am blocking you for 48 hours for violating Tony Sidaway's ban on Hong Kong national football team and Community of Portuguese Language Countries. "Article ban" means you can't edit that page anymore, even if some other editor is pushing his evil POV. Ashibaka tock 03:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

IEC

The place where I took the picture is actually somewhere in between Quarry Bay and North Point. See if you can understand my description about the location.

Imagine you travel on a bus or whatever that goes across the EHT southwardly. It then speeds up onto the IEC westbound and is heading for the first exit, with an exit roadsign "north point", on the left of the road.

The picture is taken from the place where the bus is about 100m before the separation point of the highway and its exit.

I'd say North Point is a better description than Quarry Bay, because the picture is taken somewhere westmore compared to the EHT island side exit. --Deryck C. 14:58, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
