Perhaps you can participate in it here? It seems that you clearly have a history of "rivalry" with Badagnani. Eugene2x►talk 23:46, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting my rating for bacon in popular culture. I may have been slightly over-enthusiastic. It's fortunate that I can rely on the good judgement of my fellow editors to keep things in check if I mess up. Take care and have fun! ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:49, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
You are still following my edits[2][3], then you think you deserve to falsely accuse me of hounding you? Don't play a victim card. I want you to stop chasing my contribution to Korean cuisine. There are "many" native speakers of English who can fix my English per my request, so I don't need your special care as long as you demonize me and make bogus accusation. I've tried to assume good faith on you regardless of your various wrongdoing to me, but you are the one re-igniting the old animosity with your disruptive behaviors. When you attacked me with the racist attack on the admin's page and accused me of being stalking you for my good faith advice on OTRS images, you clarified your position against me. To be clear, the alleged stalking of mine was done right after you stalked to my newly created articles? So your hounding of me is okay to continue? To sum up, do not follow my edits any more. I'm done with you.--Caspian blue 00:48, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed your recent post at Badagnani's page, which he removed. You may have noticed that I'm working with Badagnani. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with a post like that... do you really think that telling someone to leave you alone on the internet will make them leave you alone? As part of this dispute resolution, do you think you could moderate your tone, or if that's not possible then please ask me when you're having a problem before you go to Badagnani's page with another angry post that doesn't accomplish anything, except perhaps that you feel satisfied making it.
Unfortunately, your satisfaction is not prioritized ahead of encyclopedia writing, and combativeness — regardless of who started it — never helps with encyclopedia writing. Combativeness is a really bad idea, and it hurts the project. If you respond to combativeness with more combativeness, then you've just doubled the problem. Rather than doing that learn to de-escalate. If you cannot or will not do that, then I strongly urge you to get my attention when you're experiencing trouble with Badagnani, and then let me handle the situation. Your reactions to him are part of the problem right now. Think hard about that. Thanks for understanding. -GTBacchus(talk) 01:26, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, it's BlueCaper. I do not see why your opposition includes the "problems" of Harry J. Lincoln. Just because I created it does not mean the sole responsibility of the article should be on me. The page does not belong to me; it belongs to Wikipedia. It is everyone's job (not just mine) to make an article efficient.
But I am not here to rant and rave. Let me show you some gratitude for helping me and thousands of others make Wikipedia a better place.
Thank you.

Hi I see you also had some trouble regarding User:Ironholds. I lost my temper with him earlier as I'm sick and tired of people criticising the articles I create. I really hate the overlook of some people on here it has to be said, I'm sure you feel exactly the same way in such discussions when you are branded all sorts of clearly untrue things.

Hey there Caspian,
I know you and I have some philosophical differences on what makes a good nom... my philosophy is basically contained in this essay: How to nominate somebody for RfA. As your opinion at RfA has (surprisingly based upon our first interactions) become one that I am growning to respect... basically, my belief it that you highlight the weakness(es) of your candidate for three reasons:
I have the same belief about politicians. A politician who admits his/her failings will, IMO, do better than the same politician if some reporter breaks the story. I also reveal the flaws because I once glossed over them... and I vowed never to nom somebody without being upfront with any weaknesses that I knew about. I did that once, and never again. If their track record is such that I can't look past their biggest flaw, then I won't nom them. If there is a reason that I think a flaw can be over looked (a single incident of bad judgment from half a year ago is such) I will do so and explain why I don't think it is an issue with the candidate in particular.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 03:02, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Spinnspark reminded me of the fifth reason why I'm open about character flaws... people at RfA like to latch around an item that is negative about a candidate. When there is a surprise, people instantly start wondering, "What other surprises are we missing." By recognizing the flaws, people aren't wondering what they are missing. They get to say, "Hey I supported a person with these flaws before."---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 21:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
I apologise, I didn't see your notice until today. I'm looking into the issue now. J Milburn (talk) 16:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Please explain why you have removed the image that I added to Carina Axelsson, as the image as used meets the Fair use criteria. Unionsoap (talk) 01:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
I have read a number of articles about Korea and found that you've made quite a few contributions, and I am assuming that you are both Korean and possibly live in Korea.
I have made some discoveries about Korean cars that are only available in Korea, such as the Hyundai Equus, the Dynasty, the Grandeur, and the Centennial. I was wondering if you have a digital camera and might have an opportunity to take a few photos? Now that Hyundai has become a major player in the automotive world, I thought it would be nice to see older Hyundai's and other Korean cars that the rest of the world isn't aware of.
If you can't help with this request, do you know of anyone who might be able to help?

Hi Caspian,
I have been working on correcting the references in the Korean cuisine article and would like your help in completing them. I have separated the sources that are in Korean and would like you help in translating such things as article titles, authors and other information. This would be a great help as all I have is Google language tools, which is a non-contextual translator that leaves a lot to be desired.
Thanks, Jeremy (blah blah) 18:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

I believed you once had a dispute with Tenmei, resulting in you filing this dispute: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive471#User:Tenmei.27s_abusing_AfD_and_personal_attacks, Would you care to give more details at ArbCom?Teeninvestor (talk) 21:41, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Just to tell you, I'm not on the side of the troll; in fact, I condemn him. By the way, I remember that sources do not have to display notability; they only need to display verifiablity.Teeninvestor (talk) 23:37, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
No, ArbCom won't save time, considering there was no problem to begin with; just Tenmei's obstinacy. ArbCom cases are lengthy and I'm not very happy being involved in all of that.Teeninvestor (talk) 22:17, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Note that the problem with the article is solved, and there wasn't any edit warring for a while????? And what do you mean that "this is not limited to this case?"Teeninvestor (talk) 22:23, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
How would emailing you help???? Also, note how links have been provided to the source, as well as standard bibliographical information, which would make it verifiable, eh? That isn't exactly "controversial", or else the editors of said articles would have said so.Teeninvestor (talk) 22:26, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
The "edit war" with "Mongolian editors" was very strange. I was adding sections to the article, and they deleted it without explanation. Then they left. It was one of the strangest disputes I went through. i wouldn't say it was a nationalist dispute; they didn't even say why/what they were deleting it? Then Tenmei came in with his "rhetorical skills", and you know what that leads to. Oh ya, what's your email? I'm not too good with the emailUser feature. Teeninvestor (talk) 23:22, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you posted some information about a problem editor at [[11]].
Given the long-term problems that have been going on with the user in question, I believe that it is time that a WP:Long term abuse thread be started on this user, regardless of what his or her primary account might be (more than 100 socks have been recorded as of writing).
As you seem to know a lot about what this editor has been up to, I think you might be in a position to alert the Wikipedia community at large in relation to the said user.
I had originally intended to post evidence in the said ArbCom case that would demonstrate that many of the problems at the Inner Asia during the Tang Dynasty article have been repeated elsewhere due to the persistent addition of highly inappropriate material to a large number of pages that are not as frequently patrolled as "popular" articles are by the vandal and a failure to recognize long-term abuse. However, given the complex nature of the abuses and the danger of "feeding the troll", I have refrained from doing so.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the "toxic" IPs (as another user described them) in question appeared to have posted veiled racist comments at a number of user talk pages. A notable example can be found here: [12]. In this case, I believe he was trying to denigrate a large number of other editors by engaging in pointless debate.
I am a little puzzled though as to why he or she made rude comments at User talk:Arilang1234, considering that the comments seem to go against the very ideas that the troll had been trying to push.
I had reported this user earlier to User:Ryulong on account of the fact that edits by IP accounts involving Nazi themes had been made this year, suggesting that the little known but highly disruptive User:RestoreTheEmpireSociety is still active; unfortunately no action was taken.
As suggested in various checkuser requests, this editor also appears to impersonate some other persona frequently in order to make fun of editors from certain ethnic backgrounds (particularly Arabs); I also suspect he or she edited Talk:Tang Dynasty under a username in order to mock Korean editors. I think you should check the user account out to see if the person behind it actually a serious editor or just an impersonator.
There is one thing that I am almost certain about: the editor involved is not the aptly named User:Nationalist (who also caused chaos across a large number of articles).
By the way, I wonder why the ArbCom case is titled "Tang Dynasty" even though it is really about "Inner Asia during..."? Alpha77a (talk) 12:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
I think I might have to take up your offer in the near future. I do love East Asian ceramic wares, especially celadon. Plus, you are right, there is a lack of good quality Korean articles. I'll see what I can do, but I won't feel comfortable creating a new article unless I have gathered at least four good scholarly sources that I can cite. Cheers.--Pericles of AthensTalk 13:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Blocks, although often needed, have an unfortunate and horrible effect on anyone who is on the receiving end; the experience is not at all pleasant, and administrators and even arbitrators fail to truly comprehend the precise effect. I would not wish to compound the effect on anyone. I think we will still have disagreements even in the future, but hopefully, they can be resolved more amicably - if we can achieve that much, then that's certainly worth it. Thank you for the note, and apology accepted. :) Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:58, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Re this: sorry if what I was reverting was actually accurate.

Hi, Caspian-- 오래간 만이에요. (I realize I was a bit of a horse's ass in our last encounter, but I hope you can understand my feelings on the situation too...) Thanks for translating the KMDb biography of Kang Dae-ha. I was working through it myself, but wasn't confident enough to post my translation yet. The only difference I had with your translation was with "찬가 / 讚歌". I thought that this was a type of poem-- like a hyangga... Anyway, thanks again for helping out with the article. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 13:33, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I thought you were talking about me. I guess I'm vain like that. V?... I do think those editors need to leave the other editor alone. It's one thing to have a difference of opinion, but to follow an editor around and to keep going after them is pretty bad form. There are enough articles that need work without that kind of drama. Anyway, I hope you're having fun. I took a picture of a jellyfish dish this past weekend. Probably it isn't needed, but it's the thought that counts! ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey Casp. Thank you for your support. Please don't get caught up in any of the nastiness. There are many more opposes to come. I'm a big boy and I can handle it. The examples are interesting to me because as with the sources for Michael Jackson being a "businessman" and the Tina Turner opening paragraph, I still think the other editors are mistaken. But we learn from our mistakes and I could have been more tactful in dealing with the WP:OWN and other issues. ;) Anyway, please don't worry or feel that you have to defend me. My bad jokes are getting me in a lot of trouble, but my sense of humor is a strong defense. I've made mistakes, so many of the concerns are legitimate. Cheers. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Dear Caspian blue,
I am a student in Seoul National University in Korea doing a research project on Wikipedia. I am very impressed about your insight. Reading your page, I see you are truly concerned about a variety of issues, and I appreciate your contributions. So I thought you could provide some opinions really worthwhile. So, would it be possible for you to take some time off and give an online interview via E-mail or online messenger? It would provide my project a lively voice of an actual editor, and this will be of a great meaning; your experience, concerns, opinions and ideas would add a lot to my project. Actually I'm in real need of something concrete; for my project is about the mechanism a biased version of explanation is settled, and as you will probably guess, understanding such things involves a lot more than just watching explicit process. Again, I would really, really appreciate your help.
It will not take that long; in fact everything will depend completely upon your will. If you are willing to give some help, would you mind mailing me within April? Thanks a lot.
Sincerely, Bongeun bongeun319@hanmail.net

Nevermind, it seems it was a "noble gambit" from Tenmei's part. I seriously think ArBCom should place sanctions against this guy; at least a topic ban on asia should be in order.

Because this is the English Wikipedia, editors should use English-language sources in preference to sources in other languages, assuming the availability of an English-language source of equal quality, so that readers can easily verify that the source has been used correctly. Where editors translate a direct quote, they should quote the relevant portion of the original text in a footnote or in the article. Translations published by reliable sources are preferred over translations made by Wikipedia editors.
(bolding mine).
I think this bit of info just proved Tenmei shot himself in the foot. Also, it seems they do not want to be involved in the case(though an uninvolved editor has expressed interest). It seems Tenmei included them for no reason.Teeninvestor (talk) 20:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

It appears that nobody has yet begun today's section. Did he die today or yesterday? I'm sure there is no harm in nominating him under the 22nd (which it probably still is in the US). The future events section is probably more for things like elections and spaceflights but (having originally created it and not been informed of why items should be removed) I am puzzled as to why something would be removed from it for no reason. It was probably removed from P:CE because it is a death and they expect you to put those at Deaths in 2009 (those IPs don't seem to leave edit summaries, I too find this annoying and confusing at times). However, if it is to be a death debate it should be OK to nominate it at WP:ITN/C under the 22nd. --candle•wicke 02:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I was skimming DYK and came across your work on the Voight article. I noted that it is close to the needed expansion to go through (which would be great). I was thinking an obvious area to expand is actually the lead. It is currently one para, and doesn't mention the weight/ loss controversy at all. I think the lead would be better as around three paras rather than the current one. Normally i would jump in and just do it myself, but I know nothing of the topic and you seem to be busy doing a great job, so I just thought I'd make the suggestion here. I hope you don't feel I'm just making work for another editor (ie. you!) :-) If you want to ping me at my talk page and ask me to do it, that's fine, but i may not get to it for about 48 hrs. cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:10, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your insights and suggestions! I want to 'catch you up' the concerns raised. My DYK comment and response:
"Thank you both for your insights and consideration! I've reworked the hook slightly and ask your opinion. Caspian, the issues you mention have been rectified in the "Master Cat" article (thank you for solving the snarl with the title!) and I do agree with you that the two articles need some consideration. There is not much to merge into "The Master Cat, or Puss in Boots" from "Puss in Boots (fairy tale)" as much of the latter article is unsourced and has an OR tang, especially in the analysis section. I suggest a "Variants" or a "Cat as Helper" section in "The Master Cat" article examining the topic from well respected folklorists and retaining only the "adaptations" that are supremely notable such as Tchaikovsky's ballet and the Faerie Tale production. Perrault's Puss in Boots has inspired legion upon legion of "adaptations" over the centuries and it is impractical in my opinion to list every single one of them no matter how insignificant they are in the greater scheme of things in "The Master Cat" article without giving the topic "adaptations" undue weight. Alternatively, ALL adaptations could be listed in a stand alone article called "Puss in Boots adaptations". What do you think of my proposal? Caspain, I'm so sorry you preceive me as using "accusatory tone" with Matisse. Nothing of the sort was intended. I was simply stating a 'right to the point' fact.

Hi, Inugami-bargho. Thank you for creating the useful and interesting article to Wikipedia. However, I'm not sure why you're so agitated by my simple tagging.[23] I think the sentence The population of wild living domestic dogs in Australia is now probably higher than ever before. is vague because the intro does not reveal when the research was conducted, and "ever before" is also not clear. I think "as for March 2009" or "According to a 2009 research" would be fine if you can add. And everyone could not know the intro is already referenced by existing sources. The tags are only for clarification, so I hope you're a bit more familiar with these. I love reading the article by the way, so keep up the good work. --Caspian blue 04:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Nope, I'm American, and have voted Democrat (NOT the Korean party) ever since I turned 18. I don't really like any party or any politician in Korea enough to endorse one. I did indeed work for Samsung at one time (and liked it when I was there), but do not now work for them or any other jaebeol.
It is typical for Korea's left-wing Internet activists to resort to conspiracy theories and dismiss any dissenters as someone who works for the GNP. I don't really take it seriously and I was more amused than offended by the remarks.

Perhaps I got really agitated by your allegation and I didn't set the right tone when I replied you a moment ago but let me just ask you a question here... did you actually read and checked through the whole thing before you jump to conclusion and accuse me of templating that Sock tag on AO's user page (which is an accusation in its own right)? Edit history doesn't lie, you can check it to verify my claim that an ADMIN (specifically speaking it was User:Stifle) was the one responsible for placing that tag in the very first place, and not me as what you had thought.
