  • Rescue from Deletion Barnstar This award is long overdue for fixing up the article for Gomaa, which I nominated for deletion. In the middle of the discussion for deletion, this led to many people changing their original decisions to delete the article, and it's looking much better today. --queso man 01:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC) Rescue from Deletion Barnstar This award is long overdue for fixing up the article for Gomaa, which I nominated for deletion.

The Ürümqi Barn"star"
Thanks for all your work maintaining the article July 2009 Ürümqi riots during its time on the main page. This has been a difficult and thankless task, working at a frenetic pace for 4 days straight so far (I, for one, have been getting very little sleep), and it's only been thanks to coordinated efforts and discussion from numerous editors that the article has been kept as neutral and informative as possible. This is the most collaboration I've done, with the largest number of editors at once, since I have joined Misplaced Pages, and I think the results are showing; while it's not perfect, when my friends and family ask me about what's going on in Urumqi, I have been more comfortable recommending this article than any other source. The work is far from over, but now that this article is off the main page I think it's finally time to thank the editors Seb az86556, Colipon, Jim101, Ohconfucius, Benlisquare, Simonm223, and Jinhuili for all their contributions; while we had disagreements, I think each of these editors has been particularly active and has made real efforts to improve the article.rʨanaɢ /contribs 20:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


What I do

I do cleanups, and I'm not afraid to remove large quantities of text which are not relevant or compliant with WP policies and guidelines. I believe that if there's something worth saying, it's worth being brief and to the point. We are here to write an encyclopaedia, not a novel.

There are plenty of articles out there which have grown organically, through different editors dumping text in. I take all the content, sift through it, review what the sources are and what they say, rework it, giving it structure and focus. I often get spurred to look for more sources in the course of the rewrite. I treat all articles alike, regardless of whether they are of controversial topics or no.

My record speaks for itself. I'm interested in a wide range of subject matter, of which Falun Gong has proven to be the most challenging. I am not interested in partisan bickering of whether FG was being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party or whether "Falun Gong Is a Cult". However, the articles were 'looked after' by a group of practitioners some of which were not all that tolerant of negative criticisms of the Dafa. They could not accept that WP:NPOV, as one of the 5 pillars, obliges both notions to coexist with a FG article, properly sourced - that's the reason why I ranted about some instances here, and later stopped editing them. However, a group of new editors arrived on the scene in August 2009, so the articles could no longer be owned by Falun Gong. I resumed editing the articles because philibustering of the type of change which I felt necessary had abated. My personal objective is to take these controversial articles to Featured Article status. Adapted from a post dated 02:07, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
