From My Talk Page... Xiangqi

Why did you revert? It has been discussed on the article's talk page. enochlau (talk) 00:36, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I apologize. You did mention the change was in accordance with the talk page. I must have missed that comment in your edit summary. joturner 01:31, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Admin (lol)

Im writing in regards to the external links of Ella Koon's page. You said my forum is not suitable as it only contains 5 posts. Please check the statitics as we do have more than 5 posts. This forum is still new. I have no intention to make my board known using Misplaced Pages but I thought it would be appropriate to add an external link here so fans of Ella Koon's can access the forum. If you one day feel that this forum is suitable, please add it to Ella Koon's page. There are fans out there who are looking for a great English Forum dedicated to Ella. Link to Forum: http://s14.invisionfree.com/Sweet_Ella/

Thanks

Fine, it has 5 threads and 24 posts, and you said it yourself, it's new. From Misplaced Pages:External links:

"Fan sites: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite is appropriate, marking the link as such. In extreme cases, a link to a web directory of fansites can replace this link."

I can't say with a straight face that your site is a major fansite. Cheers. enochlau (talk) 01:07, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. It is the ONLY english forum dedicated to Ella at the moment. If you decide to add it when it becomes 'major' and recognised, free feel to. Thanks!

Sure. Thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages. enochlau (talk) 08:26, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

James Cole

Enochlau, please read in regard to the deletion of article 'James Cole':

The article made claims that were completely unsubstantiated and possibly false. For instance, a google search of "James Cole" + the titles of the books he supposedly wrote reveals no results. Thus, even if the article was not a re-creation of a previously deleted vanity article, the article at least made false claims about the person's notability. Finally, the claim that Nigerian rebels (or whoever it was, i don't recall what the article said) were somehow after this person, leading to the downing of an airplane (and his somehow miraculous escape) further tend to cast doubt on the credibility of the article (I'm not seeing any news items on the subject). I recommend that if you wish to write about Mr. Cole, you do so on your userpage. - Jersyko talk 15:42, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Jersyko - I think you may have misread the article. Any claims that were unsubstantiated were clearly marked as such, "believed to have been" aboard the flight, "rumours" of MEND involvement, "reports of sightings" in Quito. Claims stated as fact either were, or were soon to be, backed up with citations. Furthermore, it was never stated that his works were books; they were articles written during university tenure, and I was in the process of locating them to include excerpts in the article. Further still, there was no mention of a "miraculous escape" - the article simply mentioned that his body was not recovered from the wreckage. According to best information he was going to be on that plane, yet Sosoliso will not provide a passenger manifest or confirm if he was indeed onboard. Even more disturbing is your cursory fact checking which consists of simply running his name and titles of work through Google, and having no results be sufficient evidence for you. Do you fact check every article this thoroughly? I should think this would call into question many arbitrary decisions you have made in the past. I highly doubt you have access to the same newswires we are receiving our information from, and your subtle insinuation that I am Cole removes further credibility from your response. -pa

Thanks for the reply Enochlau. I have located the specific clause in CSD, and will ensure any subsequent post it clearer in distinguishing Cole.-pa

Geraldo "Kid Gavilan" Gonzalez

I was doing a crossword puzzle that refered to Kid Gavilan and found that he was not in the wikipedia, so I decided to add him. I did a little research online to find out his basic stats and threw together a paragraph.

My question is about why my signature was removed from the article. It's a silly little thing that I'm not worried about, but I was wondering why.

I wrote it, why can't I leave it signed and dated?

Thanks for getting back to me on this one.

The rollback button

Hi Enochlau. I have a comment about this edit you made. I believe that was a typical example when one should not use the admin rollback tool, but rather revert the old-fashioned way, and with an edit summary. I believe Mikka's edit was in good faith, the category he put the article in was sound, and everything was OK. Thus, you owe Mikka, and everybody who has that article on the watchlist, an explanation for why you reverted the edit.

That explanation can go on the article talk page, but even better, the most appropriate place is the edit summary. In short, also per the new Misplaced Pages:Administrator Code of Conduct, I would like to ask you to not use the rollback button when an edit summary is necessary. Also note that Mikka is an old wolf, but people may also take offence at being reverted with the vandal tool, if their edit was in good faith.

Wonder what you think, you can reply here, I will keep your page on my watchlist. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Instantnood/Huaiwe RFAr

If you just have a statement that should go on the evidence talk page if you have actual evidence (in the form of diffs usually) that can go on the evidence page. As to whether that is welcome or not, sure it is, just keep it constructive and brief, more likely to be considered then. --Wgfinley 05:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikification

Thanks very much for the quick wikification on the Hitchiti article.

Article Revision

Greetings, Administrator. I recently noticed you made a partial revert to my edit on the article MapleStory. If I may, I'd like to point out my reasoning for such edits.

Firstly, I felt as though the words "World" and "Classes" should be capitalized because, for one, they're both headers, and, they're both important aspects of the game (World being the entire world, and Classes being what every character is divided up into).

Secondly, the phrase "Cash Shop" is referred to, and written as such, making it a proper noun for the game. Case in point.

Lastly, the sections within the "Game issues" section should become their own headers to make it more easily accessible, rather than having to scroll for each particular one (as there is a lot of text in that section).

Please reply (whether it be here or in my User Talk page), so that we may resolve such issues. --Antoshi 00:13, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Bankstown, New South Wales

Hello. I just looked at this page and you seem to be an admin who has been there a bit. Is the population of the suburb of Bankstown really 170,000? I'm not from Sydney, and don't know how big Bansktown geographically, but even if it is maybe 10km^2, it seems pretty big. Blnguyen 00:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC).

sounds about right - for the whole of the City of Bankstown?? --Sumple 02:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Formatting "External links"

Hi there, I notice you recently changed a page i did (this one) to move the "External links" section up a level (from three = to two =) - is this a general standard thing? I started doing them this way (with two =), but someone changed one down to three so I assumed that was right, from the layout thing it looks like this is the right way too, so I changed the ones where I'd used two down to three and did the rest that way too; I've done thirty or so of these, wouldn't really want to go through and tweak all of them but would be nice if they were all in a fairly standardised layout...

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 12:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC))

Thanks for that - thought it looked better that way too. Guess I'll get through reverting them all as I add more info...JohnnyZen 13:45, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello.

Sorry, but I never had a math tutor, and Berry isn't my real first name. =) Now I'm jealous of the real guy with the name 'Berry Chan'! =P

re: Chit Chat

This edit is funny: . It's by User:Phanatical - look at his user page, familiar name... Wasn't he one of those desperate to get into the SRC? :S enochlau (talk) 13:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Ahahaha its Andrew Quah, that musical student, the black asian one, who wanted to demolish the SRC coz they are anti-china. ahaha funny.

I went to that website. Talk about hypocrisy. They are against student organisations, so they start up something called the "Independent Student's Association"? It's like "The Anarchy Party" or something.

Template:Google

Kindly undelete my version of {{google}} since A) I created it without reference to any previous versions (so it is not a recreation), B) unlike previous versions I have been using it in talk page discussions (rather than spamming it into the external links sections of articles, which is why the previous versions were deleted) and C) we already have tons of well accepted external link templates.

Category talk:Battles of the War of 1812 (Northern Theaters)

Hello, further to your statement on the article discussion page, are you advising me to clean out the category NOW so that you can delete it NOW ? If so, I don't mind doing it, but I have a feeling if I clean out the category NOW and it sits there for discussion, the creator is going to put the cat tags back on the articles. Please respond at the article discussion page and I will follow your instructions. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 20:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Reverting Page Move

Hi there, I noticed that you reverted my page move for Simp. Chinese character_s_. Would you consider moving it back? Notice that in the article the initial bolded phrase (normally for the page title) is for the plural form and also that the naming conventions do have a note for exceptions to the singular rule. Thanks for the consideration. novacatz 07:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
