I want to delete those incorrect infomation from the Nguyen article.

This surname is not originally Chinese. So, there is no point to put some Chinese legends here. Plus, there is no way to prove the correctness of some unknown legends. People might have some misunderstandings that 40% Vietnamese are Chinese which is not true. Nguyen is a Vietnamese surname, NO Chinese.


== Good article reassessment for ] ==
This article is about Nguyen, a Vietnamese surname. So, there is no point to put some notable Ruan people here. List the notable Ruan people in a Ruan article, please. Notable Ruan people has nothing to do with Nguyen article. ] (]) 15:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC+8)

== Dog bites - even in the uk ==

Go to the hospital, now. Take the dog - it will likley need to be put down. Contrary to public opinion in the UK, there is rabies there. ] (]) 19:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

:Mark, I hope things go well with her tomorrow. Terrible. I hope you have the good sense to stay away from here for a while, especially during this time of conflict, because there are bound to be things that rile you up, and you don't need that right now. It's just an encyclopedia after all, despite how much effort we put into making it right. ;-) Good luck. ] (]) 19:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

:::How about this: try just ''reading'' Misplaced Pages for a change. I do that sometimes -- I have an interest in learning about obscure, remote locations, so I'll scan Google Earth for some remote island in the middle of the ocean, and invariably there will be a Misplaced Pages page on it, usually with photos. I can then spend hours following links describing the island's history and neighbors. It's amazing how much information is contained here. Whatever your interest, you can usually find something on it. Or, if that fails to keep your interest, you can always buy ], easily the most addicting game I've played in a long time. ;-) Anyway, good luck tomorrow. ] (]) 20:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

== Enforcement ==

Since you have, again, defamed a living person by placing false information on their biography, I've requested enforcement to stop you from doing this again. ]. ] (]) 20:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

== Erm? ==

With regards to your comment on ArbCom. If you by now, despite several warnings, and a direct enforcement for bad-sourcings. Aren't aware that just looking at the names of references isn't enough - then you are really digging yourself a hole.... (you also apparently ignored everything else in Verbals edit-comment - which also doesn't speak well...).

Reminder: Verify the text <u>against</u> the references. Reliability depends on context primarily.

... introducing which is (1) a separate occasion (2) contains no PA (3) is written civily BUT (4) contains a request you know you can ignore for you not to engage in particular discussions isn't really very reasonable of you. Not that your complaint about it is fair, just introducing it into this is not. I think it is a good time for everyone to be demonstrating that they can be more reasonable than their antagonist not less reasonable. It is starting to look like a scene out of Asterix in Corsica. On top of which each RFE is using a lot of admin time reading and considering them and the high court is not for people who steal cans of baked beans. --] ] 19:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
:Bozmo, if you feel telling another editor to not bother contributing is not an attack then fair enough, I do request you inform the editor in question that any further accusations of being a proxy will be met with a block.
