Religion in San Marino

[edit]

Hi. Sorry for tagging this article a little too quickly, and for not then watching it. Had I watched it (which I usually do when I tag an article), I would have seen your comment that you were expanding it and I would have been happy to remove my tag. Nice to see what a good article it has turned out to be. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:15, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, he apologised, it takes a good person to do that.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:58, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar. Well I have a User:Dr. Blofeld/DYK A-Z country challenge with a few of the others to have a few DYKs for every country so I thought it may as well do for a San Marino entry! What brings a Hong Kong resident to be editing San Marino?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the award. We have continued with more articles linked to this article, as part of world coverage envisaged by Dr. Bloefled, Rosie Step and me. -- N.V.V. Char Talk . 22:21, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello and thank you for the barnstar! That was really nice of you, and I appreciate it. If you have the time and inclination, I hope you'll join in and participate on other articles that we're working on. Cheers, --Rosiestep (talk) 03:24, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Arilang1234

[edit]

sorry if i have reservations about an openly racist editor giving suggestions for edits, but User:Arilang1234 has a long history of adding racism and anti boxer vandalism to the article.

the following edits are blatant racism- Arilang1234 accusing manchus of being barbarian and savage, encouraging the inserting of the material into wikipedia article. [1] [2] [3]
I'd advise to look at earlier threats at ANI in which Arilang1234 was warned for his vandalism on the Boxer Rebellion articleagain he was reported for his "bizarre" and "incoherent" edits
"Old Chinese communist education history text books blamed the western power on everything, is just like putting the horse behind the cart. Yes, western powers were evil, we all know that, but what about Manchus, have anyone really really have a closer examination and analysis on Manchus, WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST 300 YEARS? Why didn't they adopt modern western weapons(or at least buy them, if they cannot manufacture them), Why did they stick to bows and arrows when fast loading rifles(Wincester) could be bought in international markets, instead they spend massive amounts of silver bars on garden building. My conclusion is the Manchus deserved every battle field defeats they got in the 2 opium wars"
quote directly from what Arilang added to the article in 2008- "The Boxers were complete salvages and barbarians,were stupid to the extreme." he and some hired Mongols fought off a group of barbaric attacking Boxers with wooden sticks - Manchu tribal rulers chose to remain ignorant and barbaric Дунгане (talk) 16:42, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've just blocked Danieldis47 for being a spamming/advertising only account, after giving him plenty of warnings. Most of his other articles are up for AfD too, I suggest you look them up. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 05:22, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: AfD

[edit]

Wow, that edit to Cyclopedia's Talk page is word-for-word what appeared on mine. I think a note to WP:AN/I alerting people to ignore these solicitations is in order. I'd do it, but I need to be out the door & on my way to an appointment. -- llywrch (talk) 23:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, while I commend your zeal for expressing yourself with the proper wording, there's no requirement that you must constantly revise or improve a message after you've posted it, especially once much time has passed after you clicked on the "save" button. At least on my talk page. (And if you can't help doing it, would you strike thru the original text you changed -- like this? That would make it easier for me to see what is being changed on my Talk page.) -- llywrch (talk) 17:27, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stanford marshmallow experiment edits

[edit]

Hi hkr... I notice you have been editing the Stanford marshmallow experiment article which is up for DYK. Your added sections talk about someone named "Mitchell". Is this supposed to be Mischel, one of the authors from the study, or someone else? Thanks. EdChem (talk) 11:44, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider your wording in AfD discussion

[edit]

You recently voted in an AfD discussion on the article Green Home. Since your vote, I have significantly rewritten the article. In light of this, I would ask that you reconfigure the wording in your vote to be more relevant to the current state of the article, whether that means changing your vote or not. Thank you for your time. SilverserenC 20:27, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

your highly disturbing praise of Binesi

[edit]

208.64.63.176 edited the article, claiming to correct the user, "chin1976"'s bad english, in this edit- "Corrected chin1976's bad English and corrected prose to focus on facts given in cited references" yet anyone can see that User:chin1976 doesn't exist. Also I see no evidence of inocorrect english being used in the edits 208.64.63.176 reverted, would he mind pointing them out?Дунгане (talk) 18:58, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

in this edit, 208.64.63.176 removes cited information stating that all the forces except the Japanese commited rape and pillage, which was supported by the reference here, which pointed out specifically that all the forces except japan engaged in rape and pillage.

In this edit, 208.64.63.176 removed "but there is no evidence of rape", yet the refence used in the aritcle, says that for all the boxer atrocities there had been no incidents of chinese rape

Our friend 208.64.63.176 also struck again, he changed a section signifigantly, changing a previous paragraph, which was referenced, to The Imperial Army Muslim Kansu braves additionally slaughtered Christians near the legations while looting indiscriminately. The reference used, "The Atlantic monthly, Volume 113", pointed out that the kansu braves had tea with their hosts and apologized for intruding, and only took away several thousand dollars of valuables without killing any of their hosts, as long as they were not christian The reference clearly points at the the Kansu Braves spared non christians, and did not engage in "looting indiscriminately"

208.64.63.176 changed "General Dong committed his Muslim troops to join the Boxers to attack the Eight-Nation Alliance. They were put into the rear division, and attacked the legations relentlessly" to ". General Dong committed his Muslim troops to join the Boxers to attack the Allies. However they where put into the rear division and mostly engaged in pillage and looting." 208.64.63.176 claimed that "Corrected to match information given in citation. Corrected capitalization" yet none of the refences supplied, [4] [5] [6] say that the Kansu braves engaged in pillaging and looting, only that they had attacked the legations

User:Benisi admitted to being the same person as this ip address

He refused to answer why he deleted cited info from the article without explanation when i confronted him, instead, he personally attacked me, the tone of his message was sarcastic , calling me " juvenile"

You congragulated him for his edits.Дунгане (talk) 22:52, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Binesi did not even read the references when he removed info
