A cup of tea for you!

Enjoy your cup of tea and relax! I did not intend any provocation, I am just a fan of sourced content. JimRenge (talk) 19:39, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

one can go over that top with that --Catflap08 (talk) 19:44, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

A peer-reviewed academic source, written by an author who spent his life on the topic, can not be topped :-).

I doubt that the NMRK website is a reliable source; it appears to be a one-man project (I also did some research on the internet about the owner) . I remember the problems with the owner of this website because he insisted to add his links to Nichiren related articles, which were considered to be WP:SPAM and deleted by several editors. Perhaps you want to remove this yourself. Anyway, one reliable (!) reference would have been sufficient. JimRenge (talk) 20:54, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Do as you please--Catflap08 (talk) 21:13, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Myōdōkai Kyōdan

Hello Catflap08,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Myōdōkai Kyōdan for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. JacobiJonesJr (talk) 01:26, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Kenji Miyazawa

Please take it back to the talk page before complaining about me on AN. I'll forgive you for not noticing that WP:AN is actually semi-protected and I am unable to respond to you there, but your accusation is false. The material is not actually referenced, since the sources cited don't actually back up the claim. I have already explained this to you several times on the talk page, but you have ignored me. 126.0.96.220 (talk) 14:46, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

EEER you FORVIVE me???--Catflap08 (talk) 14:51, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Yeah. You posted about me on a noticeboard where I was unable to respond. You erred. Youa culpa and all that. Now let's forget about that AN mishap and discuss article content on the article talk page. 126.0.96.220 (talk) 15:06, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

3RRNB notification

Noisemonkey has filed a report on you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. It was malformed, still missing information, and I've pointed out that the report appears to have been filed in bad faith. You probably don't even need to bother with it, but I'm notifying you per common courtesy. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:00, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposed topic-ban on Kenji Miyazawa

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 126.0.96.220 (talk) 14:07, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

• As per the ANI discussion, and our policy on WP:BURDEN, you need to stop adding the "nationalist" tag until you've gone through DRN or similar process. Basically, if something is undersourced and contentious, you always leave it out until it is demonstrated that a consensus supports inclusion, regardless of which article it is.

Please participate in the Conversation on Germany

Hi, Thank you for your participation in the image review on discussion on the Germany talk page. The Image has now been reverted for the third time and ruins of Berlin photo is back. I would really appreciate your participation in this discussion and hopefully reaching a consensus. Thanks again.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 18:59, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Holocaustverleugnung?

Wie kommst du bitte zu diesem ungeheuerlichen Vorwurf gegen mich? Dass ich ein Leichenbild im Artikel über Deutschland als respektlos gegenüber den Opfern und der Volksgruppe empfinde, hast du mir gefälligst freistehen zu lassen. Ich empfinde nicht nur diese Eingebung und deine Anschuldigungen als respektlos, sondern bereits als an der Grenze zum Rufmord schwelend. Wenn ich so etwas noch einmal lesen muss, leite ich rechtliche Schritte zu deiner IP ein. Schönen Tag, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 10:23, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know we are in the English speaking Misplaced Pages is there any specific reason why you post legal threats against me in German? I may have to ask Misplaced Pages for some legal advice on this one.--Catflap08 (talk) 16:08, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

If you stop it we can rest the case, if not, well. So you aren't actually German, are you? -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 17:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

I shall remind you that posting legal threats goes against Misplaced Pages guidelines and can result in blocking a user. My nationality is as a matter of fact no business of yours.--Catflap08 (talk) 19:57, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Please see WP:ANI#German legal threat?. John Carter (talk) 20:54, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Horst has been unblocked. I think you may have been considering requesting some form of sanctions if that were to happen. Now might be the time to ask for them. And, if you want something quiet to do, I can email you some reference book articles on Soka Gakkai I found now that Safwan seems to be gone John Carter (talk) 17:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know and I have already responded. This is in some ways irritating.--Catflap08 (talk) 18:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Archiving already?

It looks like you've got the bot to archive already which makes actually adding comments kinda hard. FWIW I can't see any rational reason why someone would post a German language comment on a user talk page in the English language wikipedia, less reason for them to ask for a response in that language, and no reason whatsoever for them to jump to the wildly unsubstantiated and almost completely unsupportable conclusion that you aren't German, but some people around here aren't particularly rational anyway. But you might want to do something about the archiving problem. John Carter (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Your comments at Talk:Germany

You wrote

"If the final goal is to victimise Germany during the period between 1933 and 1945 by displaying an image of Hitler and some rubbles then this is to my mind irritating and a cause for worry . . . revisionist views are given a platform that is unseen on the German Misplaced Pages. "

Since I am one of the editors supporting the long-term consensus, and your comments could be read as referring to my comments or actions, I would personally appreciate it if you would redact all of your relevant comments to clarify that your intent was not to associate my views – or those of other editors, for that matter – with an attempt to provide a platform for revisionist views. If you wish to remove your last comment, you have my permission to also remove my reply.

It might make for less drama if you concisely expressed your views on how many and which images to display in the survey section.--Boson (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry but I surely will not follow your request. Constantly negating the fact the Buchenwald picture is not in accordance to articles content – i.e. victims of the regime – is an opinion that I challenged as being revisionist. So in the end we are faced with two opinions. Showing images that do give the impression to victimise Germany and to blend out what happened during the time the regime was in power is my opinion a revisionist view – you are free to challenge that. In my books the talk page’s purpose is to talk about issues concerning the article. And yes I do have VERY strong views on to either victimise Germany’s role during World War II or to put a blind eye to the atrocities that the regime committed against its own population. Sorry that the Berlin in ruins picture does not cause me to weep.--Catflap08 (talk) 18:44, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Catflap08, You are inspiration to us all. I could not support your views more strongly.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 23:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

The article is supposed to inform, not make you weep. --Boson (talk) 01:36, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. —Boson (talk) 01:36, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for your hard work and focus. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Misplaced Pages Editor Retention Project)

User:John Carter submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Catflap08 as Editor of the Week for his remarkable dedication to trying to keep some of the articles on some of our most contentious and least-noticed topics reasonable. Catflap08 recently stated on his user talk page an intention of retiring. Given the nature of the articles he works with, including a lot relating to various groups of Nichiren Buddhism, I am more than a bit amazed that he hasn't already retired. The content of the edits, particularly talk page edits, of many others of the pages in question would be enough to drive many, possibly most, people away permanently. I have myself, to a limited degree, had contact with Catflap08 for some time, and though he can lose his temper sometimes almost as badly as I do, his greater dedication and involvement in this material probably gives him more cause than I have ever had. Having someone who knows something about this topic, is not fanatically devoted to the beliefs of one or another of the groups involved, and tries to the best of his ability to keep the content in line with policies and guidelines, despite the sometimes endless blather of partisans, is an invaluable asset to our efforts, and I think very well deserving of this recognition.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Thanks again for your efforts! ```Buster Seven Talk 14:20, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
