RE: Sea of Japan

Hello! Please exercise better judgement and use the talk page before reverting recent editions to this article to a version for which consensus has not been demonstrated clearly. Various editors involved in this dispute seem to be either unwilling or unable to discuss edits sensibly as required. You wiped out other verifiable information regarding the naming issue. Thanks!

Opening paragraph of Dokdo

next time when you want to change the opening paragraph, would you discuss first in the talk page in order not to get into edit war again? As far as I remember there once was that suggestion to change the opening paragraph to put additional 'one of several names for' but there wasn't any consensus came out of that discussion. In my opinion, that suggestion cannot be justifed by NPOV argument. Otherwise every article regarding any object with more than one name should begin as you suggest when the other party is not happy with the name. What I meant by misleading is that when you begin the article with your opening sentence, the article is expected to be about the name of 'Dokdo' itself, not about the islets. It's confusing and the article becomes not well-written. Therefore the article should begin 'xxx is a group of islands...'. Considering articles like Senkaku islands or Kuril islands are putting the name of the status of quo in their opening paragraph and referring to the object with the name, I think the opening paragraph should be just like before you modified. Same for 'control' and 'administer'. Please discuss before edit as these are heavily debated in the past. Ginnre 02:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gonzalez_195.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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. Rettetast 10:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Unblocked

I have overturned your block having reviewed the WP:AN3 report as it was evident that there was no revert-warring going on here. Apologies for the block but you should be free to edit again - Alison ☺ 05:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your right judgment.--Watermint 09:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Watermint - I'm terribly sorry for this misunderstanding; I didn't even realise the reverts provided were on completely different pages! Hopefully, you can forgive me; I very rarely make mistakes such as these, as I always make a point of double checking small details like the date and the pages (!) but I guess we're all human. Once again, my apologies :) Cheers, Anthøny 13:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem, Anthøny. Thanks.--Watermint 13:51, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Korean Peninsula. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. --Leavepower 11:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I have blocked User:Leavepower for WP:3RR. I left a message on their talk pages which is also applicable to yourself, that I strongly suggest that you take this dispute to the relevant talk pages before continuing. If you have any further question please don't hesitate to get in touch. Regards 11:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
