Not too sure why it's not working. Please kindly check your mailbox. Thanks. — Instantnood 11:34, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for telling. I didn't even know the policy was changed. — Instantnood 01:27, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Taiwan ref
Some anonymous editor seems determined to remove the reference "Taiwan" from Template:Politics of the Republic of China, as well as a few others (Republic of China Air Force, Army, and Navy, respectively). Since you've edited the first, I thought you might have an opinion and were likely to reverse his/her edits. --Calton | Talk 06:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
RE:ROC textbook
OK, I tried to look up the president's website using archive.org, but it didn't work. Then I tried to find the Republic of China Yearbook, but apparently it's the Taiwan Yearbook now. >:( So yeah, if you could help find these stats it'd be much appreciated. -- Миборовский 05:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- OK got it. Thanks dude. -- Миборовский 08:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Images at Yuan Tseh Lee article
Hello and greetings from HappyApple, first of all i want to apologice about the inconvinience i have caused to you by reverting your recent edits on Yuan Tseh Lee article. I am leaving you this message at your discussion page because i wish we can settle an agreement about the images; here my impressions
- Image:Yuan T. Lee family.jpg and Image:Yuan T. Lee.jpg have been uploaded by you and i think the responsability whether these images should be keep or taken out from the article belongs to you. However i believe they should be kept because the first one fits perfectly under Personal life and awards subsection on the article and in fact adds information to this section by showing Yuan T. Lee beside his family, the second picture, adds a "visual concept", to the readers about how the molecular beams equipment which was used by Lee in 1980s look like. Most people not familiar with the sophisticated laboratory equipment used in chemical kinetics advanced research, and i think this picture helps to readers to understand this.
- About the problem you have reported about Image:Yuan Tseh Lee Nobel Award.jpg i have uploaded the picture again, and i hope this can solve the corrupt image you see in your computer, however i advise you to clean your cache, delete spyware, and delete internet temps and trying again, but if you still is unable to see the picture, and you have done all of this before i hope my upload to wikipedia server to have solve your problem. (The image was restored).
- Finally, i have used the expression Professor Yuan referring to Yuan Tseh Lee, however if you feel this is a mistake, please feel free to modify it, however i stated this based on Yuan Tseh lee is a physical chemistry professor at NTU as of 2006.
As i said i do not have any kind of intentions to be unpolite, i would ask you please leave me a message at my discussion page about what do you think about this.Best regards.--HappyApple 02:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: Short block
I notice that it's getting more and more a problem that users and sysops are getting into trouble when dealing with trouble making users, that some of them were even brought to arbitration. Consequently, there's a growing tendency for sysops to avoid getting into trouble. If that's the way Misplaced Pages works, I'm sorry but I've to say I'm really disappointed. — Instantnood 17:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: Hong Kong Images
If you've found a watermark in the image, then please help me untag and remove it. However, I find the low-resolution picture interesting. That photo is possibly taken from a built-in camera of a mobile phone, which means:
- The image can't be a copyvio
- It reflects Hong Kong people's habit in taking pictures with a camera.
I'd suggest the low-resolution image be kept and the obvious copyvio be removed.
BTW I've contributed a lot of photos (~30) to Misplaced Pages already. See Lam Tin and you'll see some of them. Last but not least, after the Hong Kong Time discussion and this one, I'd like to remind you that please try to listen to a Hongkonger's advice and viewpoints before you try to hold a debate concerning things about Hong Kong. Good luck. --Deryck C. 13:54, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Add some more: I thought you've mistaken my meaning of retagging the image. I'm not tempuser007. I changed tag only because I assumed his / her good faith and believed that the image is really a PD one. It's just improperly tagged. --Deryck C. 15:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've put a {{GFDL-presumed}} onto the cell phone image, as the nosource template suggests. After taking a deep look into what you've lately written onto my talk page, your argument tells me that you didn't take a deep look into the images. It is because I actually take pictures from two different cameras instead of one, as in your claim. See Image:Lam Tin MTR Entrance.jpg this one for a counter-example.
- More importantly, cell-phone photos tend not to have metadata (or EXIF) due to their small filesize. Moreover, what do you think if the picture is taken from a, say, film camera or instant-picture, and scanned into the computer? There would be absolutely no relevant EXIF. Therefore, I must argue that EXIF or metadata are not feasible ways for identifying picture-related copyvio. --Deryck C. 15:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- If tempuser007 wants to violate copyright, he wouldn't have chosen such a private-styled image. He would've downloaded an image of the airport from the net. If you still think that we must delete this image, then go for an PUI arbitration. There is no direct evidence showing this image is a copyvio. The only possible "evidence" is that the uploader, tempuser007, has an unclean record. --Deryck C. 04:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Survey
I am conducting a survey on Misplaced Pages and would like to invite you to participate in the study. I've posted a message on wikien-l, but here is the link again in case you are not subscribed to that list-serv. Thanks a lot for your time! --Mermes 01:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hu Jin Tao Picture
Hi Jiang - pardon my ignorance but could we perhaps find an official photo for Hu Jin Tao? Looking around other leaders - it is pretty strange to have such a casual/unofficial photo of a head of state...
Basiji use of roman salute
Hi, you added this to Salute. There's a picture showing Basijis giving this kind of salute, however, some editors dispute its authenticity. Do you have info on the subject? I'll monitor your talk page. --tickle me 17:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Succession of Nobel laureates
Couldn't help but notice that you disapproved of my use of the succession box for noble laureates on User talk:Jtdirl (I was searching for my name because I was trying to find what I wrote there...). Just so you know, it wasn't my first choice. We do the same thing for Oscar winners if you are interested. I think its useful to have a box that shows the previous and subsequent award winner for annual awards, but I agree that it doesnt have to be a "succession" box per say. savidan 06:59, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I thought about that. It could work. One issue is that theres a whole lot of them. So it would be a big template. The "hide" button would be a solution to that (I'm not a member of the anti-huge template cabal) but it would take a lot of guess and check to get it looking good. I'll put it on my mental to do list, I guess. savidan 09:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Asian Tour
Could you please take a look at Asian Tour where User:ReeseM is pushing POV-naming. He/she ignores the wiki guidelines which I have repeatedly shown him/her: For organizations and international events, such as the Olympic Games or APEC, official terms should be used.
Its worth noting that even the homepage of Asian Tour itself uses Chinese Taipei, which is a neutral term accepted by all parties regarding sporting events.
Your guidance is appreciated. Thanks!
Heads of state/government
Hello. Re: - Could you please provide some examples of positions that cannot be clear cut, or point me to the relevant archived discussion? Thanks. — Instantnood 10:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Overdone reverts
It has come to my concern that user:SchmuckyTheCat has kept reverting everything, instead of reverting only what he disagrees . As per your comment , this kind of behaviour is " committing simple vandalism ". What we can do? — Instantnood 13:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello
I have left a reference to John Chiang on John Chang's article. Add any more references that you want, but please, out of courtesy, do not change the main article (it is for High School North's profile for its valedictorian John Chang).
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Arbitration
An arbitration involving you has officially been filed.--Bonafide.hustla 20:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Chinese naming conventions
I just made a new proposal on NPOV treatment of the different Chinese languages/dialects on the Chinese naming conventions. Please take a look and comment if you will. Thanks.--Yuje 19:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
East Asian Tigers
Hello again. Could you please help deal with user:Alanmak, regarding his edits to the East Asian Tigers article . Thanks. — Instantnood 22:48, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks so much. — Instantnood 14:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Re: Flag template
Thanks for stepping in, but I'm afraid that's not " minor formatting issue ". User:SchmuckyTheCat has been trying to edit everything according to he asserts - Hong Kong is an ordinary subnational entity. He replaces all instances of "Hong Kong" or "Hong Kong (People's Republic of China)" with "Hong Kong, China" or "Hong Kong, People's Republic of China", from templates, lists, to articles, and so on and so forth. And he only discusses after he has already made those changes. He never proposes before he amends the entries, like what he did to the naming conventions for Chinese-related NPOV issues. — Instantnood 07:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm already requesting user:SchmuckyTheCat to discuss before he actually amends the template, or to create another template for the format that satisfies his point of view. He declined with his actions. — Instantnood 08:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Transition
Re - Excuse me for my ignorance, but when was there a transition from one political party to another in ROC history before 1945? — Instantnood 08:26, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
