Stegosaurus

Hi BlueShirts!

I'm planning to send Stegosaurus to Featured Article candidacy. The article failed its first nomination, but user:Casliber and I have been hard at work fixing stuff. As you're listed as a member of Misplaced Pages: WikiProject Dinosaurs, I figured I'd drop you a line and see if there was anything you thought should be added/removed/cited on the article before it is sent to FAC. We definitely want it to pass! :)

(Feel free to make any edits on the article itself, comment on the talk page, or leave a note on my talk page). Thanks for your time, Firsfron of Ronchester 19:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi BlueShirts!

I've followed your advice and added the diet section. I don't know why no one thought of that until now, so I'm glad I asked for a few second opinions, such as yours. I am trying to closely follow the earlier dinosaur Featured Articles in terms of layout and information, as you noted. Anyway, thanks again for your helpful suggestions. :) Happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 04:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Template:Warlord era

Hi,

I am currently exploring the idea of splitting this template into four different parts. I feel that it is simply too large in its present state. It takes up the entire screen on my computer. I have created four mockups of my idea, which can be viewed by going to User:Danaman5/Workshop and clicking on the four "Warlord" links. As someone who has edited this template before, I wanted to get your opinion before moving forward. You can leave a message on my user talk page with any comments.

Thanks, --Danaman5 01:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Wang Chien-ming

Apparently this Yankee guy keeps disputing the fact that Chien-ming was born in Tainan City, Taiwan, Republic of China. He keeps insisting that Taiwan by itself is an independent sovereign nation. That is not true. I keep pointing him to reliable sources such as the ROC government websites and several Misplaced Pages articles. But he just doesn't bother to read it. He keep saying MLB says just Taiwan. Well of course, it would, since the USA doesn't maintain diplomatic relations with the Republic of China. Well, duh, but he just doesn't get it. Can you help us resolve this dispute? Thank you -Nationalist 08:53, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Nationalist (talk · contribs) is posting strawman arguments and outright lies. I've neither said nor implied that Taiwan is a sovereign nation, nor do I really care. I'm asking for a reliable source that says Wang was born in the Republic of China. Every single reliable source I've found says Taiwan. The threshold for inclusion of information into Misplaced Pages is verifiability - not truth. Please review WP:VERIFY. All I'm asking for is a reliable source that says Wang was born any place other than Taiwan. Nationalist seems unable to comply with this very simple request or unwilling for personal reasons that may include a non NPOV. He/she has done nothing other than to post original research, links to sites that don't even mention Wang, or sources links to other articles on Misplaced Pages. Again and I'll repeat this so we're clear, as per Misplaced Pages policy, The threshold for inclusion of information into Misplaced Pages is verifiability - not truth. I would suggest an RFC with further posts on the article talk page, rather than canvassing and disputes on numerous users talk pages. Yankees76 16:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

This is out of control

We need to reign in these guys..I am looking for a compromise and solution, but these guys are becoming more radical by the second. For example, for Guantian, Tainan, Jerry made Chen Shui-bian "President of Taiwan" instead of "President of the Republic of China." He also called the Presidential Building Taiwan, instead of ROC Presidential Building. And his fellow supporters are adding to this. What should we do? What is your email? -Nationalist 02:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I am still looking for a compromise, but no luck. Jerry is out to delete all instances of Republic of China or ROC and to make sure everything says Taiwan Taiwan and Taiwan. I have no problem having Taiwan, ROC or Taiwan, Republic of China. The Taiwan existing there clarifies everything. But why does he have to delete ROC or Republic of China? Clearly, I think he is pushing a POV. Examples are the above edit to Guantian and several others. Several articles were fine before he started vandalizing it. For example for an article the field said Country: Republic of China. he purposely changed it to Taiwan (ROC). But it was already clear that this was Taiwan since underneath that field said Birthplace: Kaoshuing, Taiwan. I would like to seek mediation and opinions, can you refer anyone here and get in contact with Jiang? -Nationalist 00:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey!

Thanxs for the message. That a look at Talk:Taiwan and Talk:Republic of China and all the archives for the thousands of comments on naming convention. Basically everyone accused each other of POV and eventually the fights died down, only to be continuously restarted...so there's really no consensus about the naming. However, whenever naming becomes an issue, it's best to appeal to both sides of the political spectrum, such as "Republic of China (Taiwan)" instead of "Republic of China" or "Taiwan". That usually causes the least controversy.
I have a vague memory of coming across an actual naming convention discussion on some official Misplaced Pages page, but I became active in Misplaced Pages after it had ended. I can't find it...so sorry. =) Jumping cheese 18:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

World War 2

Excuse me but I am having great difficulty understanding your edit to World War 2, even more your summary “no”. Perhaps you should clarify how Chiang Kaishek was leader of the Communist forces in China, all 1.3 million, and why, if so, both sides continued to fight each other during the height of the conflict!

I do not see how Mao Zedong cannot be classified as an important leader in World War 2. The article on the 2nd Sino Japanese War list the Chinese Communists as a separate faction, and this is shown in the “commanders” section for Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong and his fellow communists even considered themselves a separate nation during the war as the Soviet (later People’s) republic of China, and the Kuomintang Republic of China, and not one unified country.

Judging by your site you probably know a lot more Chinese history than me, and if there is a good reason why Mao Zedong cannot be called this, please specify this. Matt. P 17:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, I realised my mistake and it has been rectified.Matt. P 17:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Shanghai Battle with a Nanjing Baby

Hey dude. I re-edited my edit to your edit. Or something. I deleted the Nanjing baby from the Battle of Shanghai article because, well, it is a Nanjing baby, not a Shanghai baby. Unless you've got information saying otherwise, I think it should stay out. I'm not randomly editing stuff for my amusement or to put forward a specific interpretation. You didn't mention in the comments why you put it back in, though. I've started a conversation on the page about it.

psst - Taiwanese American

Hey, from my "conversations" with Certified.Gangsta in the past, I gathered that he's one quarter Taiwanese, apparently. He doesn't think there are Chinese people in Taiwan. --Sumple (Talk) 08:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

A bit from column A, and a bit from column B? I think it's a combination of (1) a very warped understanding of Taiwan and (perhaps) his own identity, and (2) a steadfast refusal to look at evidence. --Sumple (Talk) 03:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Second Sino-Japanese War page

Chinese Communists allowed the Nationalist forces to do the majority of the fighting against Japan, while conducting guerilla warfare against the Japanese forces. The CCP sought to avoid direct conflicts with the Japanese Army in order to emerge from the war stronger than the Nationalist forces, so in the inevitable struggle for dominance, the CCP would be the victor.

As I mentioned in the discussion page of the article itself, the sentences do not sound neutral. It would be more appropriate to say something like "The CCP avoided frontal confrontations with the Japanese Imperial Army while conducting guerilla warfare, in order to spread communist influences and build bases of operations."

Certified.Gangsta RfC

Hey, you probably already know, but there is an RfC on User:Certified.Gangsta at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Certified.Gangsta. I know that you have been involved in and attempted to resolve this dispute, so you might want to consider certifying the RfC so that it is not deleted again. Note that I am not advocating for any particular position. I just want to see this dispute move into the formal resolution processes so that it can be resolved with the least amount of bloodshed possible. The present back and forth on numerous talk pages and the Admin noticeboard is helping no one. --Danaman5 21:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

The RfC is now approved. You may wish to make a statement on the matter or add evidence.--Danaman5 04:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

That is incorrect, the RfC is not yet approved. In order for it to meet approval, please point out any attempts on your parts to resolve the dispute (in diff format). If such diffs are already listed, please point these out. Thanks in advance. El_C 21:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Needing Help With Photo Copywright

Hi once more, I have a question about a recently uploaded photo that I want to use for Liuhe Pagoda of China. The article lacked any picture, and it really needs one, considering that it is one of the greatest Song Dynasty (or any) Chinese pagoda standing today.

The image is found at this link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:Liuhe_Pagoda.jpg

If you would be so kind, I'd like to have you or somebody else verify the copywright license (it's some random American guy's vacation blog pic). In the meantime, I have given it the GFDL presumed tag, but if I do not verify the copywright stuff, it will be deleted in 7 days!

Ranks of the People's Liberation Army

Hi. There's a dispute currently happening on this page. A user added in rank information about two supposed older ranks, the PLA's Marshall and Grand Marshal equivalents. An admin is convinced that the person adding is a sockpuppet and had him banned and reverted. From seeing the edits, and from seeing a source the admin provided, the edits seem legitimate, but I'm not very familiar with the PLA, myself. Since you're in the History wikiproject, you might know a bit more about it and be in a position to comment and hopefully help settle the dispute. --Yuje 11:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
