Hi there

Hi there, read your comment on treasure ships. Can you give me a link that talks about the masts? thxs Intranetusa (Talk) 20:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

FG arbcom case

Hey, I see that you've been involved in the FG-related cases. They've brought an ArbCom case and I thought you could express your view there, or at least have a look. See Jsw663 18:59, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

GR promoted to FA

I don't know whether you've looked at Gwoyeu Romatzyh recently, but it was promoted to FA earlier today. Many thanks indeed for your thoughtful comments on the article, which have helped us bring it up to FA standard. All the best, --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 11:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram

Hello,

A request for arbitration has been filed regarding the conduct of Certified.Gangsta.

Can I trouble you to write a statement at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram recounting your interactions with him and your impressions of his conduct as an editor?

Thanks.

Thanks for your help

Sumple, I'm not sure if I've ever said this, but I'd just like to say thanks for your contributions on the articles we've co-edited. We haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but I feel I can talk to you and discuss problems. I hope you will always remember that although I may sometimes seem rude and irritable, that's probably down to having a bad day - I would honestly regret it if we had a permanent "bust-up".

I hope you had a good Easter holiday - hope to see you around. Cheers, John Smith's 20:22, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, this new user called "VietFire" has appeared - he keeps insisting on removing the phrase "East Asian" that refers to the scholars in the introduction. I've reverted three times already today, so if you get the opportunity to revert it would be helpful. I thought you might be interested because you worked hard to get that compromise there, but maybe you don't care anymore! John Smith's 22:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Saying "east asian' seems to suggest that the scholarhip is limited to only scholars from that region. It should refer to Chinese Studies scholars in general.Giovanni33 22:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

(Posting here so both John Smith's and Giovanni33 can see it) I don't think it's a big problem even if East Asian is removed. But maybe "Chinese studies scholars", or "Asian studies scholars" could clarify that this is about their field of study rather than place of residence. --Sumple (Talk) 00:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram

Hello,

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, David Mestel 11:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Wrt your proposal for remedy number five on the Workshop page, would you mind if I changed "to be blocked" to "is banned", as it's impossible to be blocked from an individual page? David Mestel 14:52, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Please refactor and post to the arbitration talk page

The evidence page of an arbitration case is not a venue for threaded discussion. Please refactor. Community consensus regarding canvassing is well established. The mentorship program can help answer general procedural questions. Durova 04:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey there

Hi, Sumple, I just happened to see you on my watchlist and realised it's been forever since I last talked to you. How've you been? I've been doing fine. You may have seen that I was made an admin in February; of late I've done lots of admin work. Probably need to get back to writing articles soon! Anyway, hope you're doing well.

Record company

Are you sure Pathé Records is Baak Doi? I knew Pathé was Pathé-EMI, but I could not be sure it is really Baak Doi, since Pathé does not pronounce anything like Baak Doi. Do you have sources to help match it? Benjwong 03:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. It makes sense now. I can piece it together. Benjwong 06:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

RfCs

As requested by other users and the arbitrators, I have filed RfCs on matters you have been involved with. Please leave your comments here and here. John Smith's 10:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you willing to comment on the Jung Chang page? John Smith's 10:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks. John Smith's 11:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

This edit you previously reverted - you want to revert it again? I'm beginning to sound like a broken record in the edit history. enochlau (talk) 00:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Good work with dredging up the links. enochlau (talk) 11:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Gangsta

So basically, you're saying he's a Chinese that thinks he's Taiwanese and thinks that Taiwan is better than China, plus Taiwan should be independent? Queer... Sky Divine 23:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

That's not cool at all. He shouldn't really have a say in this because it's actually like between mainland Chinese and Taiwanese-Chinese people. Just like how US shouldn't be in this either.. Thanks for the info though. Sky Divine 19:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

"He's not Chinese. He said he was half Black (African American) and half Dutch, with some Taiwanese thrown in." -- so he's more than 1.0 persons? enochlau (talk) 02:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I may be getting the proportions wrong. This is what he said: "Full disclosure: I am a mix of Dutch, African-American, and Taiwanese". The reason I assumed he was mostly Black and/or Dutch is because of his self-identification as Dutch (User:Certified.Gangsta) and his interests, plus the fact that he knows zero Chinese and very little about Taiwan.

On the other hand, he also claims to be a lawyer and have a JD, so I don't know how reliable the userbox is. --Sumple (Talk) 04:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Certified.Gangsta is currently attempting to change his username here in an attempt to hide his block log and misrepresent his identity during his Arbitration case. I think his username change would be very inappropriate because his ArbCom case is not over and his extensive block history would not be reattributed. Certified.Gangsta (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has admitted that he abused sockpuppets and created the attack account, N1u (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).See . Can you help take a look into this? Thanks. LionheartX 08:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
