Before I Vote on 'Move Tsushima Islands' Issue

• I would appreciate a rational explaination (after you read my Comments in the subject dispute Talk:Tsushima Islands), of the arguement or arguments you consider vital and germane to the discusion and vote. Frankly, MOST all of you are being silly over nothing of particular importance, since both names can be redirected into the one used. I have left a comment concerning my contribution to the article, which contribution — seems to have triggered the current edit and revision wars. For that I apologize, but see the Comments on the vote. I am also taking the liberty of putting the vote section AFTER the Comments about same.
• Still, I have just spent over four hours of valuable spare time, and would welcome your thoughts after you read and understand the distinction I put forth between a governments termonology as a governing body and a geographical reference like an archepelego, which it certainly is.
• More to the point, I'd like to see your defense regarding your favorite POV of what I had to say viz a viz the mergest attitude of the senior editors and administrators that frequent the Misplaced Pages:VfD discussions. To my recollection, I don't recollect any of you hotheads in this dispute ever spending anytime thereon, possibly excepting Mel Etitis, but rarely even then.
• In any event, I'm neutral here, and have asked that the article be kept EDIT FREE for the next three days by placing The Inuse template into it — I'd copyedited over two and half hours before I suspended that effort the other night because this shameful fued was going on — proper English grammer does depend, unfortunately, on whether one uses the plural or the singular. I saved that on my hard drive, but I don't need to wade through yet another 70 edits to finish the job. As it is, this matter will probably double the time it takes for such a simple job.
• If you are local to Japan, some history of the canals or Sea-channel is certainly germane to the ongoing discussion, moreover, any cogent arguement you condsider being particularly telling needs to be clearly repeated in the current on going comments if you want them counted on in the vote.
• I will make sure this message goes to each contributor to the article the past month, so you are not being singled out. Now is the time to take a deep breath, for rational concise summaries, not all the arguing that is so wearisome in 66 printed pages - half a novelette, I'd guess! It's certainly a lot to ask your fellow editors to wade through on a minor issue.
• I will also personally be making sure that at least a dozen other Administrators I'm acquainted with take a look at the debate after the time below. I will in fact ask for twenty commitments, so be clear and respectful of our time!!!
• Thankyou for your time, attention, and good professional behaviour. I'll check the Talk state again no sooner than Monday around Noon (UTC), And ask the uninvolved others to do the same. PLEASE BE CONCISE. ] 23:11, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Re: rv edit by Schildt.a

Oh, now I understand! Yeah, I'm sorry, my bad, I shouldn't have reverted those. A few of the bad reverts I did were still in effect; I removed those ja- links now. I hope it's OK now. Thanks for explaining it to me! Weregerbil 13:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

User:Endroit/Chinese_Romanization

Hello. Please check out User:Endroit/Chinese_Romanization, and make additions/corrections where necessary. I am asking Yuje, Ran, Visviva, Nanshu, Babelfisch, Kusunose, and Saintjust to check and modify this Chinese Romanization proposal within the next 5 days.
After that we should move this Chinese Romanization page to a Project Page, and then request formal Mediation/Arbitration. I would like to nominate Yuje or Ran to be the leader for this project. Or I can be leader also. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.--Endroit 09:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I made one mistake. The text where you signed should have been "romanizations" instead of "characters".

So after correction, it is now:

"Please sign your name ..... if you support restoration of Chinese charactersromanizations."

(I'm sure you knew that already, but please verify to make sure you are comfortable with that). Thanks for signing.--Endroit 23:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Gaijin

Please stop reverting the Gaijin article. Several users are trying very hard to reach consensus on the article's talk page. Reverting the main article without participating in the discussion is not helping at all. Exploding Boy 03:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

And furthermore, please do not use "rvv" in a summary unless you are reverting vandalism. A content dispute is never vandalism, and we admins hate seeing false positives. thank you. --Golbez 19:10, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
