The 25 DYK Medal | |
| For your continuous WP:DYK contributions on various topics related to Korea, such as clothing, food, events, places, biographies, etc., I, RyanCross (talk · contribs), hereby award Caspian blue (talk · contribs) The 25 DYK Medal! Great work, and keep up your contributions to DYK! I bet you can get everything that is Korean on the Main Page, you just have to keep at it like you're doing now. Take care, and enjoy this medal from me. :-) – RyanCross (talk) 01:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC) |
Congrats Caspian. Perhaps you could expand Heo Nanseolheon I just started and make it no.26? The Bald One White cat 15:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Came across it on my travels, I also have proposed a {{Korea-writer-stub}} as amazingly it didn't exist yet, (I mean how many notable writers could we write about on wikipedia through the entirety of history the mind boggles). Its a shame we can't clone you hundreds of times given the content missing or that needs developing for korea!. Worse even is the coverage of Vietnam and Burma we have on here. I was watching By Any Means (which I am writing week by week on here) last night and he went though Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand which as you know is a part of the world that inspires me and it was just amazing. He rode in a rocket boat down the Mekong for some part which was probably one of the coolest modes of transport I;ve seen. Even the articles on the largest cities in Vietnam are barely beyond stubs. If only we could cover it all in detail like America and the UK and have rleiable and abundant sources to boot. I'm currently stubbing Japanese dams in the hope that they will be translated from Japanese wiki. Hope you are well friend The Bald One White cat 16:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Exactly. 95% of the articles we have related to Vietnam above a start class are Vietnam War and likely to be written from an American point of view, however neutral it strives to be. Thats why I use wikipedia to explore places and culture which I don't know about or will never get to see. Sure writing articles about films and local places and that which you are familiar with can be fun, but my overall goal and purpose on wikipedia is to branch out in the "grey areas" of the world from a "western" viewpoint. Given the extreme bias and the ignorance of many to "foreign" places, this is practically anything from Tijuana down to Tierra del Fuego, from Cairo to Walvis Bay, from Ankara eastwards to Tokyo etc. IN places the coverage seems unbelievably developed but browse through most of the categories on locations in Latin America, Africa and Asia and very few of articles on even major towns and cities are of a good standard, let alone 95% of the rest of the country which is "ignored" as of now. The strength of wikipedia really is from the people who live or are aquainted with cultures or places in "other" parts of the world and are able to develop it from their world viewpoint. Given time, I anticipate that people learning English in the developing world who increasingly have access to to computers and the web will begin to appear on increasingly on here. The unfortunate thing is that most people who visit wikipedia use us rather than nurture us, so the bulk of the work is done by a few thousand people. If we could maximise our potential, we'd see things start to change very fast and wikipedia would start growing at a rate which would seem more in keeping with its global reach The Bald One White cat 17:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Caspian blue, thank you so much for your contribution to my request for Adminship I can tell you is this: I shall try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, please tell me! :) If you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you are welcome to ask, and I shall do my very best.

Caspian blue, I'd like to thank you for voting in my RFA. Thanks also for expressing your trust in me, and I hope that I live up to your expectations. Don't forget, if you have any questions (or bits of advice), please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again, SpencerT♦C 02:44, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't really care about our issues on the article in question, I honestly believe that while we might each have different perspectives on the incident, that neither of us are trying to deceive anyone, we just want to emphasize different aspects of the article in different ways.
However, this new edit seems to be very different from anything I have read in the past - is it anywhere near the truth?

is operating two accounts called sockpuppeting? Btzkillerv (talk) 20:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
I have occasionally voted oppose, but I try not to vote too often (where I don't nominate) unless there's a point of order to bring up, e.g. where I feel policy is being misapplied, or in order to speed on things that seem fairly obviously to meet criteria, but which haven't made the quorum after 14 days. As a check, User:MZMcBride - wh I suppose would count as the deputy FSC director if we had proper titles - has agreed to make all judgements on whether things that I have been involved with get promoted or not.
More to the point - I think it's useful to keep standards a bit lower for the moment in order that we can achieve the critical mass that allows us to attract people who are able to raise standards higher. I've looked into the history of other featured content procedures, and it seems that standards will self-correct in time, but all successful Featured content projects had much lower standards at the start than they do now, and I suspect that holding featured sounds to similar levels before we get the talented people we need will only serve to keep featured sounds as a minority featured content process.

...for the support in my recent RfA which just passed. Kindest, Lazulilasher (talk) 23:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
My argument overall for images taken from the Princeton Communications Office (see also) is that on the office's site, under a section saying "Policies and restrictions", the only restriction relevant to these images is "Credit must be provided to..." I don't presume that there are double secret restrictions that aren't listed there. In contrast, it does include additional restrictions for certain classes of images: certain buildings and the University symbols. It also indicates a separate section of photos (not the one the Krugman photo et al come from) stated to be "for news media". It also goes on to say that there are other images available (i.e. not online) that do have additional/other restrictions on purpose of use and that do cost money.
I've emailed the PCO a couple of times for the brain-dead sure-fire absoposidefinite answer that a few people have been desirous of, and they have not given me one. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 19:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the message you left on my talk page. I would personally love to support the Quaternionenadler to become a FP. I first made the vector image as a 'key' to refer to the picture and the original, and I would hope eventually I could make an imagemap so if you clicked on the shield it would take you to the article for the state. As for the article, I would love to move it into the mainspace; however at the moment it is very Work In Progress, as all the shields need to be identified. If you could help, it would be much appreciated, however if not I would see if I could put a link on the nomination page, and then transfer it in a few days. Some more history of the eagle may be best, as currently the page seems only to glorify my image, but I shall begin researching that soon, I am a bit bogged down at the moment!--23230 talk 16:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello Caspian blue, could you please explain your revert here more clearly and deeply? Thank you. --Valentim (talk) 22:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
{{unblock|I don't exceed 3RR and rather have used discussion pages for my edits. I opened up discussion by myself twice. I only reverted twice for the article in question in 24 hours. However, Nihonjoe falsely accused me for violating 3RR but also blocked me for his mistake. When my edit was reverted, I used relevant talk pages and talked to the users in dispute, but why should I be blocked by the admin? Kusunose (talk · contribs) reverted 3 times in a row, but admin Nihonjoe who has charged for WP:WikiProject Japan and has some multiple issues with me in the past, only blocked for the false charge. My last revert was 6 hours ago, when my last edit (second revert in this 24 hours) was contested, I did not even try to revert the edit by Oda Mari (talk · contribs). I rather waited for her response for her revert. I think Nihonjoe has sought to block me at this time for his issue, so I request for unblock. I don't believe the admin is impartial for Japan-Korea disputes as well as toward me. The admin has falsely accused me of being a somebody's sock without any evidences, so I have protested him for it and everything of our dispute stems from his initial refusal to apologize his accusation made in public and continued insults against me. I have tried to have good faith toward him but he now blocked for the false charge. Please see the diffs and relevant pages provided below. Thank you.--Caspian blue 05:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)}}
So where is a 3RR violation? The 3rd edit was not even a revert since there is no similar edit for it. Moreover, Nihonjoe falsely accuses my last edit occurred past in 1 day and one hour for my first edit as gaming the system. I don't edit Wikipedia 24 hours a day and examine the time. If the blocking admin wants to block me for edit warring and blatant disregard for consensus, there should be evidences provided by him. Kusunose (talk · contribs) is not blocked by Nihonjoe, so the rationale is not fit to the situation.--Caspian blue 06:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Caspian. I don't have any experience with featured pictures but what do you think of this image? Its probably against criteria or a lousy photograph in the mind of photograph specialists but I thought it was an excellent image. Any thoughts?Blofeld of SPECTRE (talk) 20:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey CB. If you notice any other Korean editors with a poor knowledge of image copyright policies uploading a rash of likely copyright violations, please give me a heads-up. Thanks, Deiz talk 10:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
According to Michael Friedrich (talk · contribs)'s own introduction, he is a young Japanese-Australian.[16] But he wrote somewhere he has lived in Japan more than 20 years. After pointed out on this along with his "intermediate" level of English, he said he just lived 5 years in Australia, but his heart is still there.(lol) He excused that his sockpuppet, Robert Houdini (talk · contribs) is his younger brother whose behaviors and agendas are identical to MF. After his graduation from University of Tokyo, the most prestigious university in Japan, he said the alleged brother went to U.S to study, but the last time stamp on August 31 does not make any sense. Robert Houdini claims he is a half Korean living in Japan. But Michael excused that he has Korean grandfather, so is automatically a descendant of Zainichi Korean based on Nagoya. But he had uploaded many bashing copyrighted images of 2002 Worldcup against Korea as well as his very negative edits on the subject. He said that's why he can read Korean language due to his home environment, and learned it to know more about Korean culture. However, he alleged that kimchi, Korean soul food was introduced to the West by Japanese first just like ramen.(lol) To sum up, he is a Korean-Japanese-Australian with poor Korean and English ability as well as with having a strong anti-Korean sentiment. Nevertheless, two checkusers confirmed the mentioned two are the same sock. Extremely rude D10 Spada (talk · contribs) (of course, sock of Michael) shouted that "I'm no interest in you", but his edit contracts his claim.(lol) It is so sad to see that possibly a elite young man of Japan blatantly disregard rules here and becomes a troll.-Caspian blue 11:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your kind comments about my Naksansa submission. I did spent quite a bit of time and effort on it, hoping to do well, given my experience. The fact that someone with your depth of knowledge, experience and accomplishments here takes the time to send me these favorable comments is greatly appreciated. I am also pleased to find that you feel this effort worthy of some recognition, although I am not familiar with this feature. I did read the WP:DYK entry (is this the "guide line" to which you refer?) but felt somewhat overwhelmed by all the rules and regulations therein. May I assume since you have nominated the Naksansa article that it meets these requirements? I understand that "Wikipedia:CITE#Inline_reference" needs to be embedded within the article but do not know where; beginning, end, or any place specefic. You will need to advise me please.

Hello! I’m from Mainland China. And I want to talk about the article “North Korea” with you.
If the relational things in my memory are not error, the Wikipedia has a rule, such as if a word is translated from X language, it should be written with its original word in X language, such as the word “China” in English Wikipedia should be written with “中國”, because “China” is translated from “中國” in Chinese Language.
As everyone knows, the English word “North Korea” is translated from the Korean word “북한”. So it should be written with its Korean original word based on the relational rule in Wikipedia.
You could leave words in there if you want to write back.
I've blocked all three of you for edit-warring on Comfort women. I know you've had a lot of trouble with stalkers and abusive socks on that article, but in this case you do seem to be also quite stubbornly edit-warring, I hope you'll find ways of dealing with the dispute differently.

Thanks Caspian-- I suppose I'm just recognizing my actual "semi-" status, since I'm still poking around here now & then. I've just added a little on Song Il-gon's latest, and noticed that we don't seem to have an article on the actor Moon Seong-geun... I noticed that the film article, Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, spells his name as Mun Seong-kun, Green Fish spells it Moon Sung-keun... so maybe we have an article started on him somewhere, but under a different spelling? Not sure which one to use... Anyway, this news article might help with such an article-- it says he was Vice-chairman of the Korean Film Council in 1999.
