Revision as of 05:41, 13 March 2006
Welcome!
Hi Tortfeasor, and a warm welcome to Misplaced Pages! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Misplaced Pages? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
- Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Misplaced Pages.
- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :
Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! ^_^ --み使い Mitsukai 06:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Using inline quotes:
There are a number of ways to do this.
For example, typing in the article while editing will get you name of reference. If you don't know the name of the article, or it's not relevant, simply typing will get you , where the number is related to the unnamed verification citations.
As for the POV, I took that based on repeated checking of the IP addresses, and the responses of other editors, as well as the un"informed" (i.e., no edit summary) edits of most of the ones you did. By using the edit summary and citations, it should substantiate your statements a lot more. And don't forget to type--~~~~ on the talk pages, so that way people will know who to talk to.
Hope this helps and again, welcome to the Wiki! ^_^--み使い Mitsukai 07:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Concerns
Apologies on that, I had actually went to bed for the night (it was 2 am here, and it had been a long day). Misplaced Pages is a global medium, and I don't know where you're typing from, so that doesn't mean that it's an instant response. I myself have waited days for a response to conversations with other editors. It doesn't mean that they're ignoring you, it just means they work on a different schedule.
Anyways, on to your concerns.
While in many cases keeping an NPOV in an article is presenting a balanced viewpoint, in many "controversial" cases, as with history and whatnot, a seperate section or even an entirely different article may be called for. You may wish to create a section within the article entitled controversy, or even (in the case of kokkok), work on the article there to explain what are other discussions ongoing between kokkok vs. magatama beliefs. And if you have been putting in the in-line references, then there should be discussions between you and the other editors on the talk pages or user pages regarding that. You may also want a neutral party to come in an take a look at things for a different opinion.
In regards to deletion as a means of suppressing information, that may be another editor's way of trying to keep POV (unfortunately, despite the rules, not everyone's playing with the same rulebook). My advice there is to restore what you can and if you've got citations to back it up with, there shouldn't be a problem. Then look at the article history, and if its continually being edited by someone with an IP address, you can either ask them to get an account here (so they can back up their information) or stop vandalizing the article. As you told me yourself, they may not be here to vandalize the article and may just be here to present a NPOV. There's got to be a happy medium somewhere.
As for citations of magatama, there are some missing as well there, and that needs to be corrected, so I'm going to look into that over the course of the next few days and see what I can do to correct it. IRT the Yayoi period, you may be correct in that as well, I'm going to have to do some research as well on that and see what the other editors are up to.
I hope this information helps.--み使い Mitsukai 17:15, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
hello
welcome. it may seem like there are a lot of rules to know, but as long as you've digested WP:NPOV, WP:V, & WP:NOR, you are encouraged to WP:Be Bold, & learn as you go along.
these are some of the tools i find helpful for korea-related topics:
- Category, List, Notice board, Manual of Style, Naming conventions,
- 위키백과 Lib of Congress Met Museum, Daum, Naver, 야후
as far as kokkok, if you register an email address, i can send you the britannica & encarta articles for reference, if you'd like. also note that wikipedia uses Revised romanization of Korean, so kokkok needs to be renamed eventually, i'm not sure to what, maybe Gok-ok? you can probably ask User:Wikipeditor.
images are sort of a pain, "fair use" is less preferred than liberally licensed images, which are hard to come by. you'll have to read a bit, beginning with the welcome package of links above, but eventually you'll get to , where the "licensing" drop-down list summarizes your options.

Magatama
Hi, read your comments on the talk page; however, it's going to take me a day or two to get back to you as I'm swamped both in Wiki and real life. Rest assured, however, I will get back to you. Thanks again for your interest and insight.--み使い Mitsukai 06:22, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
