re:admiral yi statue

i appreciate the notice. Good friend100 02:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, looking at the source for that image now, I'm surprised that I uploaded it because it is difficult to determine if the image is free of licensing issues. Japanese copyright law is "death+50." However, even though that picture was taken in 1935, it's unknown when and if the author of the picture died. I think, instead, the licensing should be marked under "fair use," like Image:Slayers.jpg. If fair use can't be justified, then the image should be deleted. Cla68 13:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for leaving me a note on my discussion page. Although i respect your position about fair use images, i disagree with you.

As those images represents paintings which may help a casual reader to understand the nature of this conflict and the are indeed photos which are likely to be public sector owned (potential canditate for public domain).Being part of the Korean navy As stated on this source at the bottom of the page-Korean Naval Academy (state entity and would-if requested-qualify as public domain) . It seems that the original artists made these paintings during the late 1970s for Korean history books and for promoting korean history during Park Chung Hee's era (to "Yonsei University Press").(Further details on comments).

These paintings represents an artistic description of a series of iconic battles that affected East Asia during the 16th century, stated that, it would be appropiate that if "graphic material" is available and used with precaution and not abuse would adecuately qualify to Misplaced Pages fair use doctrine.

And, if you still dont think so, why don't invite, Korean folk's to post their oppinions, about if this image should be eliminated or not. They have their point of view more that has to be considered, and it is likely that their's is more accurate than mine. Perhaps they should give a better judgement about this issue. --HappyApple 03:46, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

As I mentioned on the unfree image site: the Korean Naval Academy simply had a copy of the picture on their website (with permission), it didn't say anything about them creating it. It is a painting made in the last few years, and clearly is not fair use. I'm not sure if you are aware of how "iconic" is being used--this painting is not even famous or well-known, it hardly borders on iconic. I also doubt that the photo really offers something text does not--it's not a map/picture showing how things unfolded, it's simply a modern artist's imagination of how it might have looked.

It is not a "vote"--it's a rationale, one that is yet not sufficiently formulated (I have doubts that in the case of the battle painting such a sufficient formulation exists). LactoseTI 05:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, i have read your response that you have left me on my discussion page, below my impressions: I am aware that Misplaced Pages is not a democracy but it is also true that each editor has the right to post their impressions on whether the deletion is accurate or not. And the tag at the bottom of each image speficies this very well.

Dont forget the deletion will not be done by a casual wikipedian, it will be done by an administrator, which i hope he or she would be fairly neutral on this issue.

I have already stated my position about the deletion, i don't think it is fair nor accurate, to me, as a casual reader, it really helped me to understand how this conflict developed and i think it will have the same effect on newer readers. (An image worth more than a thousand words), i am already aware how it works fair use, i have experienced simmilar cases before and i belive this case in particular can be considered a little bit out of the line.

I think if fair use can be claimed for each painting as they dont seem to abuse of fair use itself and they actually help as a graphic description for each battle.

As i said on "speedied" , while i respect your possition, i disagree. (Reasons already given).

About Hwacha images, unfortunatelly i havent received any response nor from Angelo Toscano (the creator of the image of Hwacha standing at the Palace) or from Andy "-Timur Lamed-" (the creator of Hwacha firing arrows), it is likely that if i dont receive their response on this week, the images will be deleted. It will be sad, and hardly to admit that copyright policy on Misplaced Pages can be very awful sometimes, unfortuntally there is nothing else what i can do for trying to save these images, just waiting.--HappyApple 06:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

By the way, regarding to image Image:KimSunAh 2.jpg i have replaced the previous picture with a tv screenshot (properly tagged) from MBC-TV aired in June 2005. I hope this may settle down this issue.--HappyApple 07:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

If you think it will help, I'll send emails over, too; those are nice photos. LactoseTI 02:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:My Name is KSS.jpg it was from a DVD cover of the DVD edition of the tv show, thank you for letting me know about the wrong tag.--HappyApple 07:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your work

Thanks for your work on Dokdo and other Japan/Korea-related articles. Although I reverted one of your edits on Dokdo earlier, I just want to say that I think you're doing good work and I really appreciate that you're aiming to make good articles, not just to represent any one POV. Keep up the good work! --Reuben 20:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. I have no problem with my edits being reverted when it's done with the right attitude--to make the articles the best they can be. Working on controversial topics is naturally difficult, I think, and it is always nice to meet an editor who particularly cares about making them into great articles that explain the controversy in question without catering to it. Thank you for putting forth the effort. LactoseTI 08:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops!

Wasn't my vandalism. :) Soulresin 01:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I know you fixed it. Just good natured ribbing. :) Soulresin 01:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry! Thanks for having a good sense of humor about it. LactoseTI 01:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to VandalProof!

Hi, LactoseTI, thank you for applying for VandalProof. I am happy to announce that you are now authorized for use, so if you haven't already, simply download VandalProof from our main page and install it, and you're all set!

Warning to Vandals: This user is armed with VandalProof

Please join the VandalProof user category by adding either: {{User VandalProof}} (which will add this user box) or ] to your user page.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me or post a message on VandalProof's talk page. Welcome to our team! - Glen 03:07, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Here are the test templates: http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:TestTemplates. Put the appropriate test template on his page immediately following problematic behaviour. Start at the lower levels and walk them through. After a final warning, report him at vandalism in progress. If he does something really bad, skip a level. But I'm not going to block someone who doesn't have a "final warning" template on their page that is more than a day old. Bucketsofg✐ 04:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

It was not warning. Would you change what you have written on my user page?

Why do you say I deleted your warning? It was your allegedly welcome notice. I didn't delete your warning. It was basically the same welcome notice I had already, that's why I deleted your Welcome notice. I let stay your writing about Dokdo on my user page. Are you trying to put a bad image on me? Please change the title you put in my user page. Ginnre 19:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

It was a mild npov warning, not just the standard welcome. After leaving the initial warning message, rather than just "ramping up" the warnings, I thought it might be beneficial to leave the template to spell out the details a bit more. LactoseTI 19:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You should have mentioned that earlier and advised me not to delete. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ginnre (talk • contribs) 15:54, August 11, 2006 (UTC)

I generally warn people not to do things after observing them doing it once first. It's no big deal/don't worry about it. LactoseTI 19:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

But you keep put Warnings on my page. Why are you so provocative? It was you who provoke first. Who said gung-ho first? And let me have your reference regarding expressing 'pushing one's opinion' is personal attack. Ginnre 20:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I only put warnings to match your actions. If you were offended by gung-ho, let me know and I'll change it to "persistent" which is what I meant--I was asking for explanation of why you are so persistent in making the same edit, especially when it was under discussion and a (mini-)consensus seemed to be reached against it already. It was only a weak "personal attack", but it was clearly off topic. The comment where you accused others of "terror" seemed a bit more harsh. Since you are relatively new, and one of these comments was "borderline", I thought you might benefit from simply knowing the policy. LactoseTI 20:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Anyway, I didn't delete your warning. Your welcome message didn't have any indication that that was warning. So I asked you to change what you have written on my page. It's just not right. Ginnre 20:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

As I said, it's no big deal that you didn't realize it was a warning/notice. What's more, you might not have realized that it's (generally) bad practice to just remove things from your talk page. It was more an informational notice than anything else. LactoseTI 20:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

It's just factually wrong. I didn't delete 'warning'. So I asked you to change the word to 'welcome' —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ginnre (talk • contribs) 16:13, August 11, 2006 (UTC)

I added "or notices"--hopefully this is to your satisfaction? Also, please remember to sign your comments with ~~~~. LactoseTI 20:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

GFDL

Hi! This is Wikimachine. Upon your notice, I replied to you at the possibly unfree images section. Could you take a look at it? (Wikimachine 15:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC))

Thanks for the update; I responded as well. LactoseTI 17:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

You deletion of my edit on Dokdo

I don't see the sentiment you mentioned. Where is it? "that sentiment is already present just a few words later (redundant))". I think my edit won't harm the article that much to be deleted. If you want to keep the article so concise, why do you keep, for example, current situation section as-is? The subway exhibition paragraph is more than redundent or too in detail. It looks like in general you are too benevolent for Japanese favorable edit and too strict for Korean fovorable edit. Ginnre 00:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, for one thing it's present in the reference link itself (which is to what I was referring). Try clicking on it, or look at the reference section at the end. At first I didn't realize it was a reference (sorry, if I did I would have worded the edit summary differently), but the point is the same--it's already in there. That article is already too long (see Misplaced Pages:Article_size). You're right that it can (and should) be cut further, but I am particularly watching for when it gets even longer. Your edit was (almost verbatim) already in the article. Also, it was almost only restating the first half of the sentence.

In this particular case, I don't see how it's a pro-Korean or pro-Japanese edit; it's simply saying the US isn't supporting Korea or Japan. I have no allegiance to either group; if you look at my edit history I think you'll see me removing vandalism/POV edits from both sides. I'm sorry to cut your edit, but don't be discouraged--please continue to edit and help Misplaced Pages! LactoseTI 01:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I reduced the reference and added the content in the text, making it no more redundent. There was an explanation missing why the US is today not taking a position. So I don't think adding one explaining sentence is too much. Ginnre 02:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

You're right, I think, that it belongs more in the article than the reference section. Thanks for letting me know of your edit motivation and drawing my attention to that section; I was able to remove a couple of factual inaccuracies and I was able (I think) to improve the wording as well. LactoseTI 02:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Yasukuni shrine

I didn't violate neutral point of view. I wrote that based on the following reference. read this: I think you are benevolent for Japanese favorable edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.247.53 (talk • contribs) 00:35, August 15, 2006 (UTC)

I work hard to try to remain neutral; please read about Misplaced Pages's policy of assuming good faith. To respond to some of the questions you asked, but then deleted--I do not have any personal bias, and no, I didn't warn the others who were removing your changes.

At first, you inserted an extra line of explanation (in an already long article) which was unnecessary. When someone pointed it out, you seemed very persistent in reinserting it. It was explaining something that not only was already there, but could be clicked for more information. The only reason seemed to be to put an "anti-" slant in the article.

The main reason I put the notice on your talk page is that you are editing from an IP, rather than making an account. It is difficult to know which policies someone in this situation might know. If you didn't know the policy, perhaps you'd grow discouraged by having your revisions reverted--and I'd prefer you were encouraged to add information to Misplaced Pages, while at the same time understanding why this particular revision was objectionable. I strongly suggest you get a user account--it's easy and private. I think you'll find it worth the small bit of effort. LactoseTI 05:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I would like to believe that you don't have any personal bias. I didn't mean to put "anti-" slant. I just wanted to make more clear. Because it is a FACT. museum official website (English) Go to 2nd floor of museum. You will know why I call it as a FACT. My comment is a FACT. So I couldn't accept your comment about the neutral-point-of-view thing. The person who kept deleting my sentences describes himself as a Japanophile. He was very persistent in redeleting it also. Did he get any warning? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.247.53 (talk • contribs) 03:57, August 15, 2006 (UTC)

One of the main reasons I left the notice for you was that you are editing without an account and may not know the policy at all. Repeating facts unnecessarily might give someone the impression there is only "one side to the story." It seems there are multiple points of view here, and one should not be over-represented. LactoseTI 11:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Mutual Notification Talks

Would you please ask me before you modify my edit? You keep change my edit first and I keep asking to change again. Why should this be like this? The link comes entirely from Japanese source. Acutally the article is the same as one posted in Kyodo news. I don't know Komdori's intention to cite an Indonesian source, but it's misleading. And I checked Korean source about the meeting and the Korean sentiment was different. They would hear what Japanese propose and would keep the discussion channel, but their policy didn't change significantly. And it is not yet determined whether to establish that kind of procedure . I don't know whether you can read Korean, but I couldn't find an english page. And it is confusing to use 'the disputed area' because they only mentioned and discussed about EEZs, not about the islands. So this edit could be easily misleading and need to be modified. Ginnre 01:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Search on Google news in English for "Takeshima," "Dokdo," and "Liancourt Rocks." All articles there seem to back up the current edits. I'm not terribly surprised that Korean language articles phrase things differently. LactoseTI 01:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Liancourt Rocks edit

Hi! Thanks for warning me about the edit, but it wasn't me who wrote that segment originally, so I won't insist that that is what should be there. I have to say this latest name change stirred up quite a storm though! I still wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Perhaps all the activity will prove to be a good thing in the end. Rōnin 02:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake! I have hope that it turns out for the best in the end myself. It seems a lot of people have their eyes on that page now, perhaps because of the change. LactoseTI 03:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your NPOV attempt

Thanks for the heads up. Some people seem to have an axe to grind on this page. Honestly I don't think there is anything we can do but continue reverts which undermine NPOV in the article. —Aiden 04:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

HappyApple contact IV

Hi, i've noticed you tagged Image:HwachaAttack.jpg as copyright infringement. I uploaded the image to explain the portrayal of hwacha in games and to be used in Civilization III Play the World. I also noticed the size of the image was larger to be considered fair use so i scaled to a minimum size the image to be fair use tolerable and also specified a fair use for the picture, and added details, i hope the recent modifications i did may have solved this problem.--HappyApple 05:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually it is promotional art, but i think the {{game-screenshot}} tag is more accurate one for this picture because it is related to a computer game. The source is already stated on the image description page. --HappyApple 05:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Peace and wisdom

Hello, i've noticed you left a quick note in my discussion page, but before post my impressions, i want to say that all my personal messages to user:Goodfriend100 are only to him, not directly to you, i 'll see if he is willing to read the message and to feedback me as he can. So i was expecting a little bit more discression.

Here my further impressions:

First of all, i've never used the word "accussation" on any of my messages to Goodfriend100, in fact you have used to me, and i believe you are exagerating on this.
Second, i want to remark that all the messages i write are only to Goodfriend100 in aims to give him assitance on experiencing wikipedia which can become sometimes', into an unfun or unfriendlier place.
Third, to state, i try to stir up bad feelings, or i am using a bad form behavior is contradictory to my philosophy of "codemning all personal attack". I have not any intention to do so. This also applies for asking directly to you. In all personal problems i have experienced here, i always find the source of the problem and try to reach an accord, and this goes to my images or contributions. And you can see it already posted on Contact I,II,III,IV.
Where did i said or used the word Anti-Korean when referring to you? (except quoting you after your message on my discussion page). All what i try to say on Goodfriend's page is, for me, in my humble oppinion it is so rare and strange that, Misplaced Pages which has thousands and thousands of images and articles which require immediate attention (mathematics, science, history..and so on), you seem most of the time, to follow all the korean related articles and usually to tagging images and making edits which curiously always are notifications of "copyright infringement".

Single line stubs are not only present on Korean pages, i think you know that. But for me it is very strange that you seem to follow specially those, and even asking for deletion stating that it should be merged to other pages, and suggesting it is not so "notable" and that it was little available which was later confirmed to be false.
You say on your user page that TI stands for "Intolerant" and after adding this and your behaviour in articles which Goodfriend among other editor have contribuited so far, i suspect maybe you is acting uncivil and perhaps those edits are some sort of online harrasment. I am not the only person who think on this way, users like Taeguk Warrior also think this (see: ) Perhaps i am wrong and you meant, lactose intolerance. Which on that case i apologice for the missunderstanding.
I agree on Goodfriend's statement about English Misplaced Pages, while i aware it is on english language it doesn't mean, other alternative names should be prohibited or minimized its usage. In fact i have a slight suspicion that the name he proposed might be appropiate in all languages including english, and i will look for it in the library. (Online sources most of the time are always wrong).

Finally, i have not any intention to make this a dispute, in my oppinion, i think your patrolling range should be more wider instead focusing in only korean related articles (which of course this is a suggestion). As feedback i hope this message can extinguish any flames which may have been produced so far, cheers. --HappyApple 08:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I didn't mean to "butt in" on your conversation with Good friend100, it just makes me concerned when someone starts throwing around the word "harrassment," which is clearly not true.

As for the issue of Hideyoshi's invasions, if you really come up with a good argument (good enough for arbitration) I would suggest you first present it on that article's talk page. I like some other names better, too, and there is perhaps a better name for the article. It's not like it would not be considered. Simply, though, whatever we come up with needs to follow the English Misplaced Pages naming conventions.

Of course, I will attempt to broaden my search range for cleaning up articles, but it's easy to hop from article to article, and there is so much clutter to clear! Thanks again for your response! —LactoseTI 13:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Mas Oyama Response

The editor who keeps reverting the Mas Oyama article is one of several POV pushers on Misplaced Pages who appear to have chips on their shoulders the size of Seoraksan mountain. They're very persistant, stubborn, and immature in the way they operate. Thus, I choose not to waste my time edit warring with them. They don't seem to understand that they undermine their credibility with their behavior. I plan on eventually making other improvements to the article that hopefully will be left alone. Cla68 08:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I was unaware of the whole situation. Thanks for the response. It's particularly difficult on these "out of the way" articles. Eventually, perhaps we can find a consensus on the article's talk page. —LactoseTI 13:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

hey fantastic..my english could be better so correct any problem you see. Thanks :) I leave that for today. bye!

Re: Sui-Chan

Totally understandable about deleting the article if you wish. I was just adding something that might be real, might not. who knows? :) I was thinking if it's on Wiki, more people might be able to put more info on this, and find out if it's a hoax or reality.

Heh, I had never heard about it, so it was fun to look into it. Sometimes I wish the notability requirements weren't there :D. —LactoseTI 19:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

no worries mate. :) we'll see what happens. After this weekend, it'll either be on CNN or in the garbage.

Maybe we should bring back the Suichan page, because even though, it's a hoax, it's an internet phenomenon... --DemosDemon 00:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Kind of--but I'm not certain that it meets the notability requirements. There were other Internet phenonmenon that seemed to be a lot more widespread that didn't make the cut. Do you think it's possible to make a case for notability? —LactoseTI 00:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I did some research and it would leave a very interesting article, I myself have alot to add if I could (with sources of course) - On the other hand, it would require vandalism monitoring and possibly locking after the initial article was written... something that a Sysop would have to deal with --DemosDemon 01:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I've determined a way to make it notable for wikipedia, if a television network makes a report about it, then it should be made into an article... --DemosDemon 02:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Please do not interact with Taeguk Warrior

You are engaging in an edit war over his user talk page. Please do not interact with Taeguk Warrior at all as it is very clear that the two of you do not get along in the least. You are only pouring gasoline on the fire. Thank you for your cooperation. ···日本穣 06:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Point taken; based on your suggestion I just turned off the program that was watching his page for blanking. Can I at least revert removal of tags from the images themselves (rather than his talk page)? I have no problem with him, and I have seen a couple decent edits he has made.

My current (homebrew) vandalism program watches pages I tag as recently vandalized and pops up "repeat vandalism." I suppose this could end up in edit wars like with him in this case (I didn't give it much thought because it generally is effective at stopping things like page blanking). Do you think this script in general is bad/leads to edit wars easily? I'd like to avoid it, though if it's on anything besides a talk page, I would think it a good idea? —LactoseTI 06:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Its his own userpage, leave it alone and better yet leave him alone. Good friend100 13:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Removal of game references

If you want to know why, I talk about why I am removing game references on my user page. It is mainly because I think such references are not relevant to most articles and really are just plugs for these games. --OrbitOne 13:37, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

It's a good point. Keep in mind that there are often images (such as screenshots) that can only be used as free use if they are there to illustrate the game in question. When you remove the text about the game, it would be nice if you can keep an eye on whether such images exist. If you remove the text, it would be good to remove the images that rely on it as well. —LactoseTI 14:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I sometimes forget they come with images at all. Often it is "X is featured in the game 'y'"--OrbitOne 14:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

The issue of removing game references has been already discussed at game's talk page, and the result in a non direct vote was oppose to deleting that information. In order to settle down this dispute i contacted an advocate (user:Pedant). (Case already closed) and the result was "keep". The argument used was "There are numerous game references in wikipedia articles, and articles about games which have references to information that is outside the scope of the game... and as long as it is factual and relevant it belongs. Remember wikipedia is not paper and more information is better than less information. Please let us use cooperative effort and not wikilawyering."--HappyApple 15:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

But I think games in general should not be refered to in most articles. So I disagree with the argument that games are already refered to in many articles and thus it is alright for the article in question to reference a game. Two or more wrongs does not make a right and I think game references in the article in question and many other articles is wrong. The game's own article should reference this article and any other article. --OrbitOne 15:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

From Hwacha's talk page

While i respect your point of view i disagree, in fact, i would be very instructive to a user or reader to find information which is bidirectional instead only monodirectional. References should complement to each other, like Brownian motion and Tyndall effect, and i feel games are part of it. And i dont think that there is two or more wrongs make a right, i see it as a wikicommunity consensus which in fact sees articles open to editors to expand sections rather than minimizing its content or restricting topics.cheers,--HappyApple 15:43, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Deleting content that other people have worked on does not encourage anyone to contribute to Misplaced Pages. I appeal to those of you who have arbitrarily decided to remove references to popular culture (particularly games) from articles: please, please find something better to do! You are all obviously busy and productive contributors in other ways. Do not let your personal prejudices / intellectual snobbery persuade you that many other members' contributions are worthless. Assume good faith and only use deletion as a last resort Matt 14:25, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this made it to my talk page--I've never removed any pop culture sections, although I did weigh in on why such action might be desired. —LactoseTI 14:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Such discussions rarely make it to the right talk page. :p Anyways, right now I am taking a concensus poll on Talk:Hwacha and I want you to come vote. The concensus unofficially is 4 for keep and 6 for delete. If it is officially that, then the other used cannot complain. --OrbitOne 08:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Alyson Hau‎ images

How am I suppose to fix the images? The wallpaper image was emailed to me from the owner. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WildWorks (talk • contribs) 09:47, August 19, 2006 (UTC) —

I believe you are referring to Image:AlysonHau2.jpg‎ and Image:AlysonHauWallpaper01.jpg, right? We need to get some kind of verifiable copyright status. The wallpaper image seems to be created out of unfree images (the photo itself seems professionally done). The creator of the wallpaper's permission will only go so far--he must have permission for the component images as well. Is there a place where we can confirm copyright status of them? —LactoseTI 14:01, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Can you come over to the village pump and give me your opinion? Village pump

I think the chances of this gathering strong support without past cases is fairly low. Maybe you can help me provide a few cases where pop cult sections were removed for the betterment of the article. Right now, Terracotta Army has a largish section with references to games that I think are irrelevant and are fancruft. Another user disagrees with me and refuses to allow it to be removed. Can you help me argue for the sections removal? --OrbitOne 12:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know it went to the village pump. The case of "gorilla" was a great mention; I agree it seems tough to get any kind of real strict guideline passed. There is admittedly a very fine line between plugging a game and marking something as really showing up in popular culture. On the other hand, with things as they are now, if I were a game manufacturer I'd find every last item, etc. in my game and put screenshots on every conceivable article that was halfway relevant. I agree that many such references smack of "plugging". I'll head over to Terracotta Army, and keep an eye out for other cases as well. —LactoseTI 00:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I feel like I am being attacked by another user right now. On the talk page for Hwacha, I am in the middle of a dispute. The advocate for HappyApples is focusing on me, what I have said and Pedant is making statements about me I object to instead of the content, or atleast it seems that way to me. Can you yake a look and give me a comment on my talk page about Pedants behaviour? Thanks! --OrbitOne 19:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Stop adding warnings to my talk page

The only content I removed was your false and uncited information on the Mas Oyama article. That is not vandalism. 72.69.105.138 00:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

You should not remove this information, but instead tag it. You also removed some pictures (twice) from the Samurai article. If you need more help on how to tag these things as disputed, let me know, but do not simply remove them. —LactoseTI 01:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, LactoseTI, you are incorrect here. Any editor is entitled to remove unsourced information if they so wish, the burden of proof is on the those wanting the information kept. If information is disputed, adding a {{fact}} to it is not sufficent. It should either be cited or removed, as per official policy at Misplaced Pages:Verifiability#Burden_of_evidence. Adding {{fact}} to an article should only be used in minor, non-harmful cases, and regardless, it is only to be used as a temporary measure - if sources are not forthcoming, the information must be removed. In any case, any editor is perfectly entitled to remove uncited information, they are not required to tag it first, although many do. Also, removing uncited information according to policy is not vandalism, so your giving of warnings for doing so was unjustified. Regards, MartinRe 16:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder on how to use the cite/fact tage; actually that user was into some pretty hardcore vandalism--so much so, that he wound up getting himself a permanent ban--he was using ips to skirt the weeklong bans he was already on.

If I recall, the sections he removed actually had been sourced--he was removing sourced tagged/sections saying that he "didn't see" the sources/links. It was an obvious misguiding to distract from the real issue. I'm aware that unsourced material can be removed, but in this case it wasn't what was happening (offhand, I can't recall if this happened from this specific IP or not--I'd have to check).

Thanks again for bothering to type up additional explanation--I think half the disputes on Misplaced Pages would be solved if people helped nudge people onto knowing how things work a bit more. —LactoseTI 01:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Nope, it wasn't from this IP, which hasn't been blocked (and I can't see any similar IP's editing the same articles). Also, I should note that the actions of this IP that you gave warnings for (removing/rewording some sentences/unlinking images) aren't vandalism. At worst, this is a content dispute, and a content dispute is not vandalism. The fact that detailed edit sumarries were given for all editing makes it even clearer that this was not vandalism, so please be more careful in the future, accusing someone with whom you have a content dispute of vandalism isn't the best way to solve a problem. It's nothing personal, as I've seen many people do same thing, but I do try and correct people when I notice it. Regards, MartinRe 11:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Now I've proved to you that English only pages on Google have more Imjin War than your variations. Also on Google Scholar. Only place you hold edge is on Google Book. And you haven't answered why Google Book shouldn't be used. (Wikimachine 15:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC))

Please keep it on the talk page--I am watching that, and continue to respond. There I and others also describe why your desired name is still among the minority, based on proper searches and the naming policy. —LactoseTI 20:56, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Your commentaries

Please stop using weasel words or I will have you blocked. You keep switching the Seven year war/Japanese invasion/Imjin war article to misdirect it in a certain way. The scorched earth was an incident that happened one time do to civilian uprising. It was not a campaign or military policy. Please do not put in your POV with out references to back it up. --Tyler 05:28, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

There are no weasel words in use. I even tried to compromise to make it more acceptable to you--the statement as I inserted it was appropriate even if it did happen only once. That statement belongs in; I'll source the widespread part to include the rest. Thanks for the reminder. —LactoseTI 12:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The problem is, you think all your edits and comments are right while others don't. Also, when you make comments that are not nice, you think that they are perfectly fine and always respond "I didn't hurt your feelings". How do you know what the other person thinks? Good friend100 16:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Response on your talk page. Short answer: please don't mischaracterize I've never presumed to tell others how they feel. I know others may not realize the edits are always right; that's why I go back and add sources if it's questioned. —LactoseTI 16:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Ask first before you delete other's talk page

Who gave you the right to delete contents in my page? It looks like you can read Japanese. Then what do you think of 原則的に自由です? It's 'in principal it's up to your will" and I did so. Is it still not public? Bring me another reference that it is copyright protected. Don't emphasize the latter part. I'll revert when you don't bring the sources. Ginnre 20:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

It's copyrighted text. The clause you are taking there is out of context, and is immediately followed by the word "but." I left a full response on your talk page. Settle for linking to it, and you can still get your point across. —LactoseTI 01:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I know what が means and I didn't make any money out of it. Then what is wrong with posting the message? Please don't be so arbitrary. I'll repost them if you have no more to say about it. As you know, the link contains nothing except the title. Ginnre 02:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Response on your talk page. Short answer: now that we've established it is copyrighted text, you should refrain from posting it. Talk about it all you like, and include a link. —LactoseTI 11:40, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

As always, you're so arbtrary. When did we establish that? You don't understand what 自由 means? To use the text in 2ch.net is 自由 in the first place. Don't make simple thing complicated. As I said, I'll repost them sooner or later. Ginnre 05:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I hope you are not being sarcastic. Good friend100 02:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your friendly advice. I'll just delete it. (Wikimachine 02:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC))

Stop annoying

I repeatedly asked you to answer my question before you take action. Nonetheless you ignord my request and intepreted only in your way and put warning on my page. I'm just surprised how you become a patroller while you act this way. That 2ch page is copyright protected is your interpetation only. You don't understand what 自由 means? To use the text in 2ch.net is 自由 in the first place. Even though they were copyrighted, they can be used as fair use as they said it is 自由 to use it in the first place. What's problem with you? I don't understand why are you so strict on my usage of that page up to the point of paranoia. I ask you again to remove your warning as your repeated attempt to remove the page is unjustified. Ginnre 04:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Responded on your talk page, again. All questions (I believe) were repeatedly answered. In short, 自由 is followed by "but," where they explain how the work is protected. Link to it, and explain how you feel about it. You don't need to infringe on it on top of that. —LactoseTI 12:24, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Again, it is 自由 in the first place. It supersedes your shaggy argument, got it? Why would they write that sentence first before they talk about money? You don't get this simple fact??? If you so badly insist, I can repost it as fair use according to your taste. Wait for that. Now everyone knows how you're biased on Japan/Korea issues. Simple comparison of your listing of copyright related images will show that obviously. I ask you to step back and remain silent, rather than attacking so many Korea-related articles. It doesn't help anything. I don't understand how you become a patroller. I don't think you behave with good faith. Evidences are plenty. Ginnre 04:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure of your point. They basically said, "In general, you can do use this text, but not for commercial purposes." Are you saying because they said, the "in general" part first, it means it's more important/supercedes the "but" part? Sorry, it doesn't work that way... I really don't see what your issue is--why not just post the link and discuss it? Other users have done this--it's effective and, better yet, legal. —LactoseTI 12:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Korea

There are a few users fighting between two versions of the Korea article, both of which have some severe POV problems. I'm not sure why you chose to join the edit war in favor of one of them here; in many ways the other one was less problematic. This version actively tries to justify or downplay anything negative about the Japanese occupation of Korea, even to the point of making the rather severely POV judgement call that Korea was better off under Japanese control. Also, I'm a bit disappointed that in this edit war, the editor pushing Korean POV has been repeatedly warned and even temporarily blocked, without any apparent recognition that the version he's been reverting is (at least) equally bad. --Reuben 15:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I didn't realize the version I reverted to had equally problematic issues; basically the reason I reverted it was that I had recognized the IP of the user making the changes as a POV pusher and just looked at the diff. I was hoping someone else would catch it if there had been more serious things at play (which seems to be the case)--sorry, I was too much in a rush this morning to check myself. Did you get a chance to set it straight? —LactoseTI 16:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi LactoseTI, Sorry if I jumped on you a bit too strongly for this; the bit about Syngman Rhee vs. Japanese rule struck me the wrong way. I made one pass through to clean some things up, but obviously there's still lots of room for improvement. And yes, the IP user was definitely pushing POV, but maybe he could be convinced to accept a more neutral version. --Reuben 16:37, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Your editing of Baekje may be wrong. And firstly survery the current research about Gija joseon. it will help you.

=\

What do you mean by unconfirmed website?

The website is for Korean students to learn about Korean history (even I used to use it), and it is a nice educational site.

None of the other editors disagree with my uploads, I don't understand why these pictures are such a pain to you and others.

First, you want a copyright, so I posted a copyright.

Then you wanted a site from where I got the image, so I posted that.

And now, theres a tag up there saying that this image is "from an unconfirmed website".

So then, if I post a "confirmed website" what will you pick on then?

The copyright is invalid because it isn't a "historical battle" because it was drawn by the Koreans so its POV?

Or lets say the image is invalid because the confirmed website is Korean so that makes it POV?

What other ways are there to curb the images? Throw them all at me at once so I can work my way through them at once, instead of throwing a roadblock one at a time. Good friend100 12:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

There is no point of view issue here. Those specific images from that same site were removed before due to similar issues. The websites you grabbed them from are not the creators of the images, and don't have information about the original source or copyright status (that I could see). This kind of copyrighted painting or drawing is not allowed. See the fair use page (an example of things that are not fair use being, "A work of art, not so famous as to be iconic, whose theme happens to be the Spanish Civil War, to illustrate an article on the war.") Images help the articles, but it's important to get free ones. —LactoseTI 13:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism Violation

Pleae don't vandalize good faith edits and leave fradulent warnings on my talk page. I'm more than willing to reasonably discuss and compromise but not if you're going to lie or make fraudulent claims.melonbarmonster 21:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, there is a policy against removing cited sources--there are several more on the Atakebune page. I suppose you left a "vandalism" note on my page in response to the one left on yours. Yours was left because you removed cited material and violated the 3RR rule (again). Please provide a reason why any of my changes were vandalism, or I suppose it's prudent to remove this warning (what I tend to do with vandals who do the tit-for-tat warning thing). —LactoseTI 22:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I've already proved that I didn't remove cited sources and you've already admitted to it. It is incredible that you're repeating this accusation. Your edits and comments have nothing to do with the ensuing discussion or the sources cited. You've made disruptive edits without explanation repeatedly even after my many requests for additional references and responses. Rather than engage in a civil discussion in the talk page of the article you left me a warning for deleting your "references" when no "reference" existed.

As for the first iron clad ship issue, please provide verifiable references so that the rest of us can check it out.melonbarmonster 22:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

As I repeatedly said, see the Atakebune page for more references (and even a few snippets of the text). I could say more, but it seems you keep missing that part... —LactoseTI 22:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Here's an example of where you removed a cited source ]. We are allowed to use books on wikipedia (this is just one of several of the sources on Atakebune. —LactoseTI 22:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Dude, what are you thinking???? The Boxer reference is also in my version of the edit in the link you provided!!!

Perhaps you forgot--you removed that reference a few minutes later (link fixed). —LactoseTI 22:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

In any case, books are fine but if you're genuinely using that book as a source you should also be able to give us some quotes or portions of the text or explanation of the pertinent parts of the book that supports the referenced text of this wiki article. All I'm asking is for you to share your sources. As for ATekebune, there's conflicting sources about which ship was the first iron clad. Even the turtle ship goes back to the 15th century.melonbarmonster 22:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

You yourself removed much text, and changed it to suggest that Admiral Lee's later designed ship was the earliest, saying there was no controversy. There are ample references to help you read about the earlier ships. Again, see the Atakebune page for an ample sourced discussion on this topic. —LactoseTI 22:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Hyperlinks to other wiki articles are not sufficient for references. Please familiarize yourself with WP:A and WP:V. If you want to make edits then YOU'RE the one with the obligation to provide verifiable references. Copying other people's citations is not enough! In any case, turtle ships were used by Chosun as far back as the 15th century.melonbarmonster 23:09, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Of course; I gave one reference and linked to more. One is more than enough. Read the article about turtle ships--there is much information there. For example, while it is true that there are two generations of them, they were quite different. —LactoseTI 23:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

So where's the references? I tracked down your reference. It just quotes Portugese comments about the Japanese ship. It says nothing about it being the first iron clad ship. Turtle ship was known as early as 15th century.melonbarmonster 23:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

"We are allowed to use books on wikipedia"

Then what is with deleting some points I wrote down in the Pros/Cons section? I clearly gave a reference and I am having the impression that it is being rejected and deleted for no clear reason by the editors who support that the turtle ship never had any iron on it. Good friend100 02:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe I made any such deletions. I remember thinking that it could use a bit of organizational overhaul, but I don't think I changed it at all... —LactoseTI 03:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the section in question, I think the deletion was probably made because the third bullet (about the drawing) is in some ways duplicating of the description of the first bullet (where the point is make that while the hexagonal pattern is there, the drawing differs in some ways from the account in the records, which casts a bit of doubt on the accuracy of the picture). In any case, I don't think I edited that section. —LactoseTI 03:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I wasn't necessarily pointing at you, my bad. Good friend100 03:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

SO WHERE'S THE REFERENCE THAT SAYS IRON CLADDING IS CONTROVERSIAL???melonbarmonster 18:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Content Dispute on Turtle Ship Article

I've read everything in the talk page and have checked all the sources. What evidence do you have that turtle ship may not have had iron cladding? What reference, article are you using to claim this? I've tracked down ALL the references and NO reference states this. You're violating WP:A by persisting in your reverts. Give me a decent, reasonable response if you can.melonbarmonster 04:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

At best, it's a content dispute (you want to use a 11th grader's history report on his website as a source, and that really doesn't fly. —LactoseTI 14:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Stop pretending this is about some website report. LOL. That's your disagreement with a different editor. SO WHAT SOURCE DO YOU HAVE FOR CLAIMING THERE WAS NO IRON CLADDING????melonbarmonster 18:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

You keep adding back several unsourced statements, and including this report as a reference. Please look before you leap. —LactoseTI 19:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

There is a final call for references and sources. So if you have anything that mentions any controversy or doubts about iron cladding, please give them. My guess is that you have none and that you were being deceitful and disruptive but you're welcome to prove me wrong by providing some references.melonbarmonster 19:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages guidelines dictate that you assume good faith in dealing with other editors. Please participate in a respectful and civil way, and assume that they are here to improve Misplaced Pages. Thank you. —melonbarmonster 04:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

If you could please describe to what you are referring, I'd be more than happy to take a look. Maybe it has something to do with me leaving the same message on your page for edits like this? —LactoseTI 05:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I didn't move your comments. I made edits to my comments. You are vandalizing my request for references with your disruptive and harassing behavior.melonbarmonster 05:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Sneaky Vandalism Warning

Don't relocate my comments, and I won't undo your relocation. —LactoseTI 05:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I didn't. I edited my own post and in a section which I started. It seems your really bending over backwards and squirming to drag this out when all you had to do is come up with even a single reference of your own.melonbarmonster 06:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

After I provided several references, you decided to move my comments to a section that you created (that's what happens when you insert a section break right before someone's comments). —LactoseTI 06:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

You provided no references and you know it. You tried to delete Turnbull. You fraudulently referenced Park. And you think by talking about your own interpretations on facts from these sources that your "provided several references"??? You would have lost your job, failed your class for something like this in the real world btw. And yet you claim you provided "several" references! Holy moly, what incredible dishonesty. Dude, come on, let's at least try to keep a modicum of self-respect in our dialogue.melonbarmonster 07:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

As I discussed, I was not deleting Turnbull's reference, I was deleting the repeated information. As Turnbull was discussing the source mentioned in the first incarnation, it itself was not necessary--do we continually add more and more sources in the chain? Dr. X refers to Turnbull, and Turnbull refers to source A. Source A says, "whatever." Those are not three items, they are one.

If you thought Park was fraudulently referenced, you clearly don't know what he was saying. Again, I ask you to stop with the personal attacks. —LactoseTI 07:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Good grief.melonbarmonster 07:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey LactoseTI. Would you like to confirm your identity as a professor? If not, nothing to worry about. Just wondering. (Wikimachine 23:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC))

Re. Dokdo

Hello Lactose and thank you for contacting me. The closure of that move proposal was a tough decision and I was expecting some complaints. I usually determine consensus when at least 70-75% of the participants share a common stance. Of course, this is not a strict rule as I also ponder the arguments of both sides. In this discussion, I found reasonable arguments on both sides, and not enough agreement to deem it a consensus to move. Best regards, Húsönd 18:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I was aware of the canvass, but it seems to have been taken care of by users who effectively identified meatpuppets. I appreciate your suggestion for further time for this discussion, but I'll have to decline. This proposal had already gone into WP:RM's backlog and couldn't stay there for much longer. My closure has no prejudice against new proposals on the same matter to be brought to the talk page for fresh discussions. As for NPOV, many factors are determining it in this situation. Like it or not, the Korean occupation has made the rocks to be better known worldwide as "Dokdo". Misplaced Pages is not a political entity, referring to the rocks as "Dokdo" here doesn't bring any kind of international recognition. I am aware that "Liancourt Rocks" is more neutral, but it's simply falling into disuse. Above all, this is an encyclopedia and articles should be named according to the most commonly used terminology. If, as you suggest, "someone knocks the five temporary guards standing on it off tomorrow", then there'd likely be another discussion about this matter and maybe there would be consensus to move, I don't know. What I know is that when closing discussions on Misplaced Pages, instead of focusing on any non-existent political repercussions, I rather focus on consensus or the lack of it. Regards, Húsönd 01:08, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for contacting me again and presenting sound arguments against my decision. I'll make an exhaustive review of my closure tomorrow and will naturally have in regard the points you brought up (I'm not doing that now because I'm sleepy and will just do some vandalfight before heading to bed). After my review I shall either move to Liancourt Rocks, or relist, or request a second opinion by one or more admins. I appreciate your concerns. On a related note, I did not relist this proposal on WP:RM because after a quick look I didn't think that any consensus would be reached by relisting this particular proposal. Most proposals that are relisted are the ones that had too little participation for any consensus to be determined. Regards, Húsönd 02:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi again Lactose. I have reviewed my closure of the move proposal and decided to overturn and move to Liancourt Rocks. Once again thanks for your input. Best regards, Húsönd 17:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Dokdo canvassing

I'm sorry to say it, but the article you found is actually a far more egregious case of canvassing than the Chosun Ilbo article (that article at least presented itself as a simple account of the dispute). This one contains sentences like "please take an interest" and "the day after tomorrow will be too late." It also includes the usual stock defense for meatpuppetry and the like, namely "the Chinese and Japanese are doing it already." -- Visviva 13:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Your revert

" I doubt that the article will be moved back, but feel free to present information about meat/sockpuppeting on the Liancourt Rocks side" Husond said, and you aren't going to stop me. Also see user talk:Philip Baird Shearer. (Wikimachine 23:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC))

You aren't trying to present evidence on the meatpuppet/sockpuppet on the Liancourt Rocks side, you're trying to fiddle with every little bit about the poll in general. Even if the Liancourt Rocks people were in the minority, they could still win because their arguments were based on policy, and their votes had valid rationales. —LactoseTI 23:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I was going to present a data. However, I decided to present personal data first, and then the statistics. (Wikimachine 23:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC))

This is precisely why the RM conditions were changed so that it isn't by a set numerical percentage (although we did meet that, too). These long drawn out battles really don't matter, the rationales do. —LactoseTI 23:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Your good faith?

Hi LactoseIT, recently I found your edit , which I think problematic. You care about deleting Imjin war but not care about correcting Hideyoshi's ... to Japanese ...? I know Hideyoushi's is your pet name but the wars were titled Japanese invasions of Korea as you all too well know. You quite frequently do so called better wording but if you're not interested to be impartial doing so it is dangerous, especially you act as police here (as you advertise on your main page). If you're so sloppy on your pet names but strictly to others, usually Korea originated or related, your good faith is questioned and your edits are, too. Be more watchful next time.

Harassment Warning

Please stop wikistalking and shadowing my edits. If you continue, you will be reported and blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. melonbarmonster 04:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Please continue to contribute, but don't remove sources or otherwise undo other editors' hard work and research. Fixing mistakes should not discourage you from editing, and doesn't constitute harassment. If you are unclear on this, I encourage you to follow through with your "report." Perhaps it would help the situation if you heard this from another person as well. —LactoseTI 04:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

You have shadowed my edits and instigating revert wars in articles you've never contributed in. You've been warned per WP:HAR. melonbarmonster 04:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not shadowing you. Again, please go ahead and report to get another opinion. —LactoseTI 04:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

About 3RR

I seriously feel that you are going way too far with this. I haven't done anything blatently wrong and for the latest report you have filed against me, its not even a true violation. I mentioned in the noticeboard that none of this edits were in bad faith and I had good enough reason to do so. Responding to Komdori, I started a new thread to discuss about the map.

Stop doing this to me, I've had enough of getting blocked and I feel that you are doing this only in your own amusement of getting me blocked because you are starting to pick on every little edit that I'm doing. It makes me angry that you have this negative attitude towards me. STOP IT.

I've had enough of you and your sarcastic comments and attitude towards me, and I'm not going to put up with this anymore. Please stop.

Have a nice day, Lactose. Good friend100 03:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

compromise

Thank you for your excellent compromise. I strongly disagree with you about Post-Docs, but that point is moot now. I regret that my edit summaries are sometimes snarky. I suspect that I upset you ("you're dead wrong") but that was not my purpose or intention. Happy editing ^^ Mumun 無文 13:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I suppose that did ruffle my feathers a bit, but no big deal. I appreciate you taking the time to leave the note to clarify. —LactoseTI 01:46, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
