Talk Page Civility

Can you try not to think that anyone is racist? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but your comments are just extremely trollish and uncivilized. Be very touchy what you really say if you are worried about having your comments on talk pages moderated. — Dark Insanity 03:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Hi, PatCheng, welcome to Misplaced Pages. I wanted to let you know about a post concerning your edits at the administrator's noticeboard: here. Assuming the IPs identified are connected to you, you appear to be engaging in some unproductive and fairly trivial edit wars, and it would be courteous of you to seek to resolve these conflicts more peacefully through dialouge. Christopher Parham (talk) 06:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

NPOV

I've reverted your removal on Communist Party of China as it is not a "pro-Falungong" section. Rather, although it might have neutrality problems (although I do not see it), discussing it is legitimate unless you advocate undue weight, and the CCP has received widespread criticism for its suppression of the Falungong.

The Elder Scrolls

I just wanted to say that you've totally messed up nearly ALL subcategories of this one after I've spent weeks trying to get them systematized. Just so you know. --Koveras 11:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

It's quite nice that you show intrest in this category but let me give you some advice first. Don't try to recategorize the entire articles. It's not needed. I have already done more than enough. Start writing some articles instead to fill the categories. That is what we need, not recategorization. No offence. --Koveras 11:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey there

Outstanding work reducing trivial fictional star wars cruft. That makes four of us fighting a good fight! Deckiller 11:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Nice work with the merges! Deckiller 01:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Capital ship list

I plan on making a list for starships, primarily capital ships. However, what do you think this should cover? Just capital ships, or all "other" forms of starship that are not support craft, starfighters, air craft, or aquatic vehicles? I was figuring that we could have a capital ship list (for things like the corellian corvette and banking clan cruiser and all), and another list for "named" craft. There's a lot we can do, hence why I suggested the project as a way to clean up and organize.

Wikiproject

We're planning on starting a WikiProject for Starwars with the hope of creating a gathering place (in other words, enhancing communication) so that we can merge, cleanup, remove cruft, the whole nine yards. The proposal section is here: Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject/List of proposed projects. Thanks, and I look forward to working with you. Deckiller 21:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Project

Hey; I would like to see the project start tomorrow and develop through the weekend. I want to see of maru is interested, since he provides balance to all of us mergists and whatnot, and usually has solid ideas in discussions. Deckiller 23:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Project

The StarWars WikiProject will be starting soon, here is what I have down so far: User:Deckiller/WikiProject Star Wars. We have 7-9 people interested so far. Deckiller 21:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Morrowind article

Could you help me expand on the scrib article? Evan Robidoux 16:47, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

John Birch article

Thanks for cleaning up (reverting, generally) the POV information in the article. I've been following it, but somehow that stuff got up and I didn't do anything about it. So I was glad to see your edits. John Broughton 04:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Just a notice; if you want to merge the non-stubs, I recommend putting a notice on the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do so people can discuss it for a day or so before merging. Thanks! Deckiller 20:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

List of Purported Cults

Your comment from my user page:

The Communist Party of China a cult? Please, have some common sense. Political parties are not "cults", especially if the source comes from a purported cult itself.

Just as the title says, it is a list of purported cults. The Epoch Times is a major newspaper. They are anti-CCP, true. On the other hand, many of the other sources that are listed on the page are also against the movement they're defining as a cult (though now I see that the list is cleaned up a bit, which is probably good). But adding CCP to the list is not a value judgement in itself. The Nine Commentaries, an influental publication, is just making allegations of its cult-like characteristics, and that is enough to make it a purported cult.

On the other hand, that also depends on criteria that the editors of the article are free to dispute. I agree that it might be better to keep it exclusive. Really, I was only making a suggestion.

I replied here because I'm genuinely interested: what is your criteria for defining a "cult" and a "sect"? Is there any difference between the semantics of these terms? Do they have to involve a transcendent belief system? What kind of belief systems, on the other hand, cannot be defined as cults? I've been discussing this with many people, and the question is not simple at all. I think there's some kind of a (multidimensional?) continuum between a full-blown dangerous cult and a normal and acceptable movement with particular ideas. But what is the essential demarcation in your opinion? Regards, ---Olaf Stephanos 00:39, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

My problem is not with the claim, but with the source. The Epoch Times, is a widely read newspaper, but it's not a "main" news source such as the BBC, NY Times etc, and it's widely known for it's pro-Falun Gong anti-CCP bias. If the BBC or some qualified cult expert define the CCP as a "cult", then claiming that the CCP as a cult does have merit. There are also some ultra-leftist anti-Bush publications that claim that The Bush government is a cult, or Christian fundamentalists claiming the Catholic Church is a "cult". But Misplaced Pages isn't a place to report such ideals just because source X said so. Please see Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources. Thanks. --PatCheng 08:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Command & Conquer characters

Hi. I thought maybe Colonel Burton and Jarmen Kell should be sorted by the first word, since the second word is not their last name, and there's no one that refers to Jarmen Kell as Kell, is there? - Eagle 01:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 14% for major edits and 91% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 11 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:00, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Hey, we both created The New Rebellion at the same time! I merged in the info you put, including the infobox, which looks great. Deckiller 04:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, since you've done some work on the Dune computer and video games article, you might want to help out at the current GCOTW, Dune II. Cheers, jacoplane 20:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Van Buren --> Fallout 3 Move_Fallout_3_Move-2006-03-25T15:47:00.000Z">

I disagree with the move of Van Buren (Fallout) to Fallout 3. Van Buren is a cancelled game that was in development by Black Isle Studios. F3 is in development by Bethesda. The designers at Bethesda have said the story will not be similar and F3 will be a multi-platform release. They are two seperate games, and should be looked at as such. However, since Misplaced Pages is not a crystal ball, Fallout 3 can serve as a temporary redirect until more news is released on Van Buren. Thoughts?

Legacy of the Force

What is wrong with the book titles? Jedi6-(need help?) 21:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Interesting idea but that doesn't really fit Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions and Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation. Jedi6-(need help?) 23:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually when you moved Sacrifice (novel) I realized that they should be called title (novel) instead of title (book), so I moved them already. Except for Exile which has a redirect in the way that will have to be done with a request move. Jedi6-(need help?) 23:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Howard Shore

Hi. I see you have replaced a section of the Howard Shore article that was removed by a 1-3 vote (include your 1 vote to keep it). I'm not sure if that really qualifies as a consensus to replace the section (then again, Misplaced Pages is freely editable... but we'd like to build the articles based on consensus). Nationalparks 05:05, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Good afternoon

Thanks for your comment. Had you actually read what I said, you will note that I didn't say that "all people who support China are Chinese nationalists". I said that the people at the Nanking Massacre page (who don't listen to reason) are Chinese nationalists. ADDED IN A LATER EDIT: I will also note that "nationalist" is not a derogatory term, unlike what you called me: "Holocaust denier" and "stooge of the Jap government". (Please also note that "Jap" is in and of itself an offensive epithet.) Further, I fail to see how I have said anything that would make me a "holocaust denier".

If you post insults on my discussion page again I will report you.

(I've also removed the words "goddamn" and "bullshit" in my subsequent edit. Calling someone a "Holocaust denier" is a good way to infuriate them, but I've calmed down now.)

I would suggest that you apologize for what you said and retract your own use of the word "Jap", which says far more about you than me.

Cheers. Bueller 007 09:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

While I disagree with claims of "Chinese nationalists", I apologise for the comments I made. --PatCheng 02:48, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Fallout

Hey PatCheng. First off, thanks for your work splitting up the Fallout page. However, that page (Fallout (computer game series)) can still use some work. So, I made some changes, which you can look at here. Looking at your User Page, you seem to be involved in all kinds of video game articles. I was hoping you could help us get Fallout to where it should be. Thanks. Miguel Cervantes 19:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

No worries, mate. Some things push people's buttons sometimes. I know I've said some things I regretted when people reverted my posts and whatnot. Have a good one. Bueller 007 03:41, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Edits and stuff

Just to let you know, many of your edits are simply deleting because they sdon't have sources cited. Try to add {{Fact}} instead...it'll save a lot of trouble, especially when sources CAN be cited. Be a little more frugal with your "Edit this Page" button. P.H. - Kyoukan, UASC 01:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Personal attack

Stop personal attack. Such as your swearing of "idiot" and your groundless statement that "I never set foot in China" and other bold words to gush your spleen. Fnhddzs 04:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't know it was you. I apologise.--PatCheng 07:58, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Then again, you refered to China as a "totalitarian dictatorship", which I find totally offensive.

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Misplaced Pages has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. -- Миборовский 04:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Falun Gong page

Friend,

I notice that you have been trying to coverup material related to the presecution. I really dont know why you do that... but I know people are being tortured to death in China and families are left devastated. The more the truth is covered up, the more people die.. arent we responsible for the death of innocent people if we intentionally cover it up? CCP is not China.. It is innocent Chinese people, people like you and me, the CCP is killing.

The stories of suicide and all are utter nonsense.. if you knew the truth behind the so called suicide you'd tremble in horror at what the CCP is doing..Please think about it- there are over 50 million practitioners outside China has even one committed suicide? Had even a single falun gong practitioner committed "suicide" before 1999?

We must be true to our own conscience. How could we support and coverup the killing and torture of thousands? Arent we responsible then for those deaths and the heart-wrenching suffering of their families?
