A user seems bent on reverting to a version repeating unnecessarily that he is Korean. I don't see why his nationality needs be in the first line at all. I've reverted to an intro I made which I think is a lot nicer; but this person seems to show up each night and revert it. Since you also seemed interested in making a neutral article, I thought you might be able to share your input, or help improve it even better. The other party's version also (unfortunately) doesn't seem to flow as well (in my opinion)... I have a feeling this individual is alone in his opinion, and is going against the consensus.

Glad to hear that you felt my (very minor) edits were useful. I'm afraid, though, that I don't have any inside information about Linda Ham.

You might well be able to find the answer to those sort of questions by simply contacting NASA's Public Affairs Office, though. | |||

==Talk page comment== | |||
| valign="top" style="border: 1px gray solid; padding: 1em;" | | |||
Hello. Thanks for you comment on my talk page, but as you can see from LactoseTI's comment, after reviewing the contributions from IP in question, he admits he "jumped the gun a bit", which is fair enough. While I do understand the fustration of vandal fighting it is important to ensure that good faith editors (whether logged in or not) are not caught up in the crossfire simply because they edit from similar geographic areas. However, my main point at the time was to correct the misunderstanding that uncited material must be tagged and should not be removed, as that was the basis of his warnings to the IP in question. While some editors choose to tag uncited claims, they are not required to do so, and in the case of uncited critism about living people, it '''must''' be removed. That is why I removed the section you tagged in ], as tagging was not the correct option in this case. ] is ''very'' clear on this matter - if it's critism about a living person and uncited, remove it. When it comes to non-living people, the rule isn't as absolute, but straight removal of uncited material is still perfectly acceptable hence why I pointed out that the warning someone for taking such actions (which are justified by one of the core policies) wasn't the correct thing to do. I tend towards the stricter side of requiring immediate references, only adding {{tl|fact}} tags to minor details, but as I pointed out to LactoseTI, even for those taking a less strict view, tagging must only be a temporary measure, because in the end, it must boil down to one thing - "cite or remove".

Hey, what was wrong with the testimony edit of the nurse who stated she helped cover up bodies in West Tokyo. It had references and quotes by the people who investigated that issue. The nurses name is Toyo Iishi. If we don't give specifics in that article section people tend to delete it. Then later as time goes on references will get lost or forgotten, then people tend to state that the information is not true. I will try to re-edit it without the qoutes by the investigator which could be seen as POV, I believe they stated "legacy of Japans rampage" or something. But I think the name of the individual who testified needs to be included, otherwise the article which is sensitive to begin with is always being changed with people asking for proof. It reminds me of the holocaust section where some people keep saying it never happened. Anyways I'll add the name of the nurse, but I won't put in the quotes. Please check it out and see if you have problems with it and let me know, thanks. --] 10:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

I guess for me the museum was frustrating because I was with a bunch of people who kept saying how horrible it was, and one stupid girl who said to the Japanese with us "I want to apologize for what my country did to you" followed by solemn nods from other foreigners in our group. But there is no mention of what preceded the bombing, other than the "cold, calculated" process America took to decide what city to bomb. It most definately is designed to elicit sympathy from the rest of the world. Even my own girlfriend said while we were there "I hate Americans." So much for fostering "peace." I have never introduced the atomic bombings into conversations when talking with a Japanese person; they always do.--] 01:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

==Campaignbox Pacific 1941== | |||
I think ] should be kept for three reasons. Firstly, if we are following Allied commands in our definition of campaigns/theatres, it corresponds somewhat with the short-lived ], which preceded the three Allied supreme commands formed in mid-1942 --- the ], ] and the ]. Second, I also think that if we combine the Pacific 1941 items in the other two (or three) they will become too big and unwieldly. Third, "Pacific 1941" covers the period of the Japanese offensives up to and including Midway, after which the tide of war turned. Thanks, ] | ] 07:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

==Weiss bio== | |||
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its ]. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas: | |||
As to sources, the material about Weiss' education and early jobs probably comes from Weiss' blog. http://www.gary-weiss.com/bio.htm | |||
* tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope | |||
Blogs are not always reliable as sources, of course, but it isn't clear to me why anybody would suspect Weiss of lying in the particular respects at issue here (do you really pad your resume by pretending to have working at a newspaper in Hartford, Conn.?). --] 01:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
* updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria | |||
* creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles. | |||
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. | |||
(removing edit by confirmed sockpuppet of ]) | |||
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found ] for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also. | |||
== Your edit to my user page == | |||
Re You reinstated a bad faith vandalism warning from the anon user in question. I and an administrator had removed personal attacks. The page of the anon user in question was semiprotected to prevent reversion of the personal attacks. Please desist from edits of that character. Thanks. --] 07:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

Greetings, Cla68. I saw your afd for the ]. My concern is that it links to a non-Misplaced Pages site for its evidence. Technically, we're not supposed to accept off-Misplaced Pages evidence. What's worse, that particular site tries to "out" some Misplaced Pages members, posting alleged personal information and libel against them. By an earlier arbcom ruling, links to "attack sites" can be deleted by anyone, and although the ''page'' you link to isn't really problematic, the ''site'' arguably is. | |||

:I really don't care if an editor is a sock puppet or not as long as they don't use Misplaced Pages for self-promotion or to promote someone else in violation of the Conflict of Interest guidelines and follow all of the other policies of Misplaced Pages. I sincerely believe that the Gary Weiss article is being used to inappropriately to promote the subject. If the usual editors of that article continue to block others from editing it or changing it within Misplaced Pages's guidelines, then they need to stop it. If one or more people are using several different accounts as sock puppets to block attempts to remove the POV/promotion from the article, then it's valid to state during the conflict resolution process that evidence exists that sock puppetry is occurring. Evidence is usually circumstantial, but in cumulative form can be a strong case for detecting sock puppetry. If the issues with the article are forced to be presented to arbitrators, then any evidence can be presented there. ] 03:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

::You said this: "the three editors who consistently edit and monitor the article are sock puppets...." I'm wondering: was the statement, which after all you reaffirm every moment that you don't edit it differently, intended to refer to me? That's the question. If you have three wiki names in mind of which "Christofurio" isn't one, then the right answer is "no." If you have two other names in mind plus my own when you say that, then the right answer is "yes." In neither case is "I really don't care" a responsive answer, since you cared enough to make the reference, and that's the caring that counts here. I don't care what you believe, but if you're willing to use a phrase like "three ... socks" you should be willing either to retract it or to name the three names. I am of course perfectly willing to have you bring the issue before the arbs. --] 04:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

:::I sincerely hope we don't have to go to arbitration, because there's an easier resolution. That's to allow other editors to edit the article within Misplaced Pages guidelines, whether the "regular" editors of that article necessarily agree with those edits or not. If that can happen then there's no problem, whether you're a "sock" or not. You seem more concerned over whether you're accused as one of the "socks" than about the problems with the article. I myself am accused of being the sockpuppet of a banned user in the AfD discussion about the Gary Weiss article. However, the accusation doesn't worry me because I'm not trying to do anything underhanded, I'm trying to help correct a problem article.

:I was being facetious with that comment. Some of the sources I read that have discussed the Gary Weiss Misplaced Pages entry in outside websites appear to believe that there's a "conspiracy" by high-level administrators to "protect" the Weiss entry. I don't believe that to be true. I can see in past actions involving that article that administrators have acted to protect it, but I don't believe they were doing so out of some sort of "conspiracy." I believe that it's just an example of extremely busy Misplaced Pages administrators trying to do their job to keep Misplaced Pages running smoothly and just didn't have the time or reason to investigate further what might be occuring with that particular entry, one of thousands that each administrator monitors. In that case, it's up to "regular" editors like me, who in addition to our regular projects (military history articles for me) sometimes try to assist the community in finding and resolving abuses occuring on Misplaced Pages. The Gary Weiss article, to me, is an egregious example of someone using Misplaced Pages for self-promotion and putting a lot of time and effort into "gaming" the Misplaced Pages system. I believe the "system" works and that we can bring that article back into the community, put it into the proper form for Misplaced Pages, and let it be one more small step in the continuous effort to, not only improve Misplaced Pages's body of knowledge, but to further improve Misplaced Pages's credibility in the world on-line community. ] 23:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

The other significant problematic edit was your adding an entire section on a ten-year-old, withdrawn lawsuit that was inaccurately described by yourself.

== Cleanup request == | |||
{| style="width: 100%;" | |||
Re yer note on my page, I appreciate the civil tone but to be frank I simply don't believe any cleanup is necessary and that the article is fine as it is. This is a basic brief journalist bio written in neutral tone and is comparable to similar journalist bios. See ], ] and pretty much every other journo biog you can find. Posner's doesn't have a single cite and the source is obviously his website. I fail to see how festooning Posner's bio with cites and footnotes pointing to his site adds much value and it is the same for Weiss. I simply took the bio data out of that website , and you are right that the site is down. I agree that the libel suit does not belong, as it is undue weight at the current length as well as anything shorter. It is fairly brief as is and I can't see much point in cutting, except maybe the quote.--] 10:56, 2 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
