Hi there
Hi Changlc, I noticed your recent changes to the article on Conscription for the Taiwan(ROC) section. As a new user I appreciate you adding stuff I missed. Good job adding the part about reserve service for grad degree holders. Some advice though, you might not want to volunteer for that since the pay is crap during the 4 year service period compared to what you can get with an advanced science/engineering degree elsewhere in Taiwan or other countries.
Drop me a line sometime on my talk page. Like to see your thoughts on this.

Thanks for welcoming me, Loren. I guess your only other option is to never visit Taiwan again, eh? I'm lucky I guess as my parents applied for overseas status for me while I was young enough (it's easier to get as long as you apply outside Taiwan before you turn 12). The irony is I'm actually thinking about joining the Canadian Forces, so I'll be a Canadian soldier instead of an ROC one, ha. Anyway, I wish you luck with your reservist service. Hope to talk to you again.Alan 06:15 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I like how you mentioned enlightened dictatorship, Loren. A lot of us in Canada think we live under such a system, except we get to elect a new dictator every few years. Just the lack of real legislative check on executive powers in the Canadian system. Do you Americans feel the same way with a prez? Hehe. I agree with your view on Taiwan politics (independence vs unification), and I'm hoping whatever the outcome it would be reached peacefully and freely. Later.

Tests
How was my post on here vandalism? I'd appreciate an answer rather than an outright block or ban. Sfmil 05:21 11 january 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. Sfmil 05:36 11 january 2006 (UTC)
More Tests
I don't understand what I'm being 'warned' about. I added my opinion on the subject, same as everyone else, and I see no evidence that what I did has been reverted or deleted in any way. What exactly did I do that justified a 'warning'? The Monster 03:03, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
I did discuss with other editors
L,
you noted on my user page that I should discuss concerns with other editors. I did. Instead of working to develop concensus, the other editors had the page blocked from editing to reserve it in the version they preferred, and refused to respond substantively to rational discussion on the talk page.
Perhaps you didn't take time to review the page history, but a handful of bullies have taken over the page. It is no wonder people have resorted to removing content. It is an open encyclopedia after all. I have no objection to the cartoons being on the page -- my objection is the deletion of references to occassions when lawful societies have opposed expression that some find offensive -- it is these references that the bullies have persistently deleted from the page. 17:12, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Question about 24.215.238.4
I'm not sure how this works. 24.215.238.4 was temp blocked a day ago. He's back now and he blanked all the previous warnings off his user talk page. Is that allowed? Crumbsucker 11:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou!
I noticed you reverted the blanking of Phase Distortion Synthesis. Thats really neat, to know that there is somebody out there taking care of the vandals. Keep up the good job! MX44 13:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Planetes Citations
Thanks! Man, just when I was about to move on with making Planetes a featured article because of the citations. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. --TcDohl 05:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Oh, another thing, as it seems like you have the manga, do you think you can scan individual panels of the manga, one panel per chapter? If you can, please help with moving the manga summary into its own article. I'll give it much of the same treatment as the List of Planetes episodes article. Thanks! --TcDohl 02:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Asustek name
Hi! For sake of completeness I have added (what I think is) the Chinese spelling of the Asustek name to the ASUS article. Could you please check if it is correct or not? Would it be more correct to label it as CJK instead of Chinese? Thanks a lot. I don't know Chinese, but I felt the article needed this info. Cheers, Gennaro Prota 13:33, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
space time
This is about your edition in hoshi no koe article, about physics.
I've added a comment to it, maybe you should read. From what I know, you probably know better physics than I do, but I think most studies about time traveling nowadays are too premature to get us to conclusions about things we don't really know, just suspect of. I mean, I do understand a lot about how it could be, or about what is believed to be possible. But it seems to me like nobody has a confirmation, a physical proof, or even a flawless theory up to date, and you were affirming that if they meet again, in the story, he would have to be older because of something Einstein must have said.
Problem is, as far as I know, Einstein were never complete, just pointing the "right direction" of subject to study. I'm no expert, but what I understand from the little I know about his theories, they are all either incomplete or wrong. Light speed isn't absolute and Energy might be much more (or much less) than just any defined matter multiplied by "squared light" ().

- Response. See also time dilation for confirmation. -Loren 23:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Yay, I just wrote my response now! I'll be editing the article again next. --Caue (T | C) File:Qullasuyu wiphala.svg 23:32, Thursday 2006-03-23 (UTC)
i think you got me into a final agreement point. nice talking to ya! :) (more on my talk) --Caue (T | C) File:Qullasuyu wiphala.svg 12:12, Saturday March 25 2006 (UTC)
I just read your edition, I think it was perfect once again. Maybe i'll re-read that article in a few months and try to understand it again, with a different point of view. :) cool, hehe, nice job! --Caue (T | C) File:Qullasuyu wiphala.svg 13:13, Saturday March 25 2006 (UTC)

Segregating ROC/PRC military stuff
Category:Chinese military aircraft, ugh. Look at that template too. SchmuckyTheCat 20:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Categories
I believe some form of connection between the categories for China, and those for the PRC and ROC respectively, is necessary. Some readers may type, let's say, category:military equipment of China, and is expecting to get to the relevant articles about the PRC or the ROC (probably before 1949 or 1971) from there. For convenience of our users, we have to bridge the gap between common usage and Misplaced Pages NPOV policy. — Instantnood 22:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Crosslisting might be an option, but I agree redirects and disambiguations are better ways. — Instantnood 00:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Translation
How are you, ChangIc, I was glad to find you listed a translator; can I ask your assistance with an English to Chinese article ?Res q68 04:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I've tried to draft a simple but concise medical article, which has several applications in Misplaced Pages. I was hoping to place it in a few languages, to be of help to as many people as possible. So, the text is--
A practical approach to such complicated auto-immune conditions may be found in the perspective of complementary medicine practicioners. Cases often follow a cycle of (1) allergic reaction (usually dietary), then (2) malnutrition, causing (3) internal bacterial disequilibrium, resulting in (4) strain on liver function and expression of relevant symptoms. The likely cause can be determined with simple patient lab tests, like pH and simple-sugar absorption tests, and then an appropriate course of treatment can be produced. This generally means a person first avoids their allergens, then rids themselves of problem micro-growth (sometimes with antibiotics), then builds back their immunity, with a basic rotational diet of natural unprocessed food (including fish such as salmon, rice, nuts such as almonds and walnuts, and vegetables like carrots and cabbage). The diet is supplemented with vitamins (A, C and E are vital), minerals (including zinc), amino acids (such as glutamine), probiotics (like acidophilus), and herbs (including garlic). Exercising within the patient's ability can also help the process.
(And, an external link, which is but one of many sources-- http://mdheal.org/leakygut.htm).
The article appllies to several conditions, so where we determine there is an article already, it could fit in a "Treatment" section...
Hopefully this isn't a bother for you, but let me know in any event...
Much thanks, All the best, Res q68 04:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
subdivisions mass rename - help needed
kind of urgent, could you help me to postpone the mass rename initiated by User:William Allen Simpson. IMO this should go to the project page first.
