| Came across it on my travels, I also have proposed a {{tl|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 ] (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 ] 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 ]</span> <sup>]</sup> 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 ]</span> <sup>]</sup> 17:34, 6 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, ] - 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. ] (]) 14:06, 12 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

| My argument overall for images taken from the Princeton Communications Office () 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. | |||

My objective at the Kaufmann RfA was to bring out Hrafn's contentious and less than civil nature, without myself violating any guidelines or policies. I essentially set out to "draw a foul" from him that would undermine his credibility; for good or ill, I accomplished that goal in that AfD. When ] told me I was over the line, I left the AfD, and didn't interact with Hrafn thereafter. This incident happened three and a half months and 5,000+ edits ago, and I'd point to my interactions with ] as an example that I've improved in my knowledge of how to handle contentious editors since as a result of those interactions with Hrafn. ] (]) 22:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :The candidates in the first half of the table only seem to get negative comments under "what people say", those further down seem to get both negative and positive comments. Not sure why that is. I don't know if this is what that other guide means but that does seem to come across particularly harshly on Carcharoth - most of the guides that give an opinion seem to be support, but the summary of comments sounds like a litany of damnation. ] (]) 20:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Sorry, but the section is being implemented after Lar helped me to increase more space in the table.

| :::I didn't mean to sound hyper-critical, I was just speculating on what that other 'guide guide' might have meant.

| Hiya, regarding your queries on the ArbCom voting pages, it's probably better if you post your queries (and any replies) on the talkpage of the vote. It's not like RfAs where people engage in major discussions right on the voting page itself. If you move your comment though, I'll be happy to reply to it there, or we can talk about it here on your talkpage (or mine), whichever you prefer. :) --]]] 05:58, 2 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

As you see, I don't cast my vote for his candidacy yet, but I found ironies from Durova and your statements which I believe, strongly affect to voters' mind. Honestly, the allegation on a series of harassment is totally uncalled (if so, he would been desysopped already with RFAC cases). I just want to know about IRC admin-shoppoing allegation. Several diffs would suffice. Sorry for brushing up the recall, but as you know I also did not even put my name there. I'm ambivalent about the friction between you and him and his election campain.

You may have forgotten that I collected every comments from the editors who have their own guides. I of course, read through the Sarah's blame, and COI issues (which I already spotted on ANI at that time), but well I disagree with your assessment on the "two issues".

| Hi, per Jehochman's request I've asked for a neutral clerk to move our threaded discussion to talk. Would be glad to continue dialog with you there. In a nutshell, by the time I weighed in on that recall drive Elonka's standard for recall had already been exceeded. I had stood by my recall pledge and resigned.

| :The images of the signs potentially being copyrighted derivative 2d works provides me with an dilemma. Not finding a lot of Unjusa information in English available. Don't know if I should abandon this project or not (proceed). Did find this bit at the Creative Commons pages describing ] as it applies to "fair use". Looking at the verbiage "the transformative characteristic of the later work is that it provides the public with a benefit not previously available to it, which would otherwise remain unavailable" it would seem that using these photos as a reference should be acceptable here. Since this is a public project, wouldn't this apply? What do you think? Would appreciate your feedback and assistance. Thank You.] (]) 03:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
