Note to visitors who may have beef with my edits:

edit
  • if you are a student, chances are i despise you.
  • if you are a wikipedia addict (e.g. several tweaks every day or with some wiki awards or reverting watchdog), chances are i despise you.
  • if you are a OpenSource fanatic, chances are i despise you.

If you are one of the above (chances are you are all of the above) and have serious beef with whatever i was doing, chances are i don't give a flying fuck about you, and also will not respond to whatever shit you might have to say. Report me, lock me, ban me, or do whatever it is that you do.

the particulars Who might earn my respect on wikipedia:

  • people who have donated money.
  • people who contribute solid materials. (e.g. writing whole paragraphs or complete articles, especially on things that cannot be found on internet)
  • people who are knowledgable and loving.

Be sincere, regardless what's your nature, and i will hear you out.

Thanks.

Edit to Arctic Region Supercomputing Center

edit

Hi, I just reverted an edit of yours to ARSC- a link to an outside company. As a general rule the addition of unrelated links to an article constitutes spam, and while I don't think that was your intention, it may come across that way. In cases where unrelated articles have similar names and may be confused, you can use the the templates found here: On-Article Disambig Template Messages, however you will want to link to the wikipedia article for a given subject, not an outside link. If you have any questions regarding this you can leave a message on my talk page or consult the Manual of Style. All the best and happy editing, --L'Aquatique talktome 08:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC) Reply

The above on the article ARSC, is about Arctic Region Supercomputing Center. I added a sentenc that ARSC is also a software named A Really Simple Chat software, with this associated url: http://old.manuel.kiessling.net/projects/software/arsc/

I'm not sure how well-known this software is, but i thought it's a fact that might be worth of noting. Note: i have no affiliation with the software whatsoever. I realized it only because when i was doing research on chat software. Xah Lee (talk) 13:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

That's fine, in the future a link like that would go on the article page of the A Really Simple Chat Software. Then you could put a link at the top of Arctic Region Supercomputing Center that says "Not to be confused with... blah blah" and link that to the article for A Really Simple...

Partlet

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Partlet, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://everything2.net/index.pl?node_id=295916. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Partlet

edit
 

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Partlet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I forgot about this notice above until today, and the article is apparently already been deleted.

Note that, Partlet is: A covering for the neck, and sometimes for the shoulders and breast; originally worn by both sexes, but later by women alone.

This is significant item ideal for encyclopedic entry. Xah Lee (talk) 13:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The above refers to these articles:

1. Human_sacrifice, 2. International_Tibet_Independence_Movement, 3. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama.

The item i added are, a link to the website:

* Li Ao on Tibet Criticism by Chinese historian Li Ao.

Which is a written summary and embedded youtube videos and links, to a series of TV program by the Chinese Historian Li Ao, on the issues of Tibet.

Li Ao is a noted historian of international fame. In his TV show, he showed photos and documents of various sources that he has collected, to show us that Tibet flay human skin, under 14th Dalai Lama's command.

Li Ao is famously known for his skill in exposing the unknown or myths.

In the above Wikipedia articles, this information is important, in particular because there is no criticism in the external links. I've added this link about a month before but they got removed. One of the guy who removed it, his comment for the removal was simply “I don't think so”. Other removal are anonymous i think.

Fact should be known.

Let me be a little more direct. If you continue edit-warring to re-add links to your personal website, your account will be blocked from editing. If this material is indeed notable and relevant, then find an independent, reliable source for it that does not involve your personal website. MastCell Talk 16:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Xah, re [1], I am sorry you should feel that way. You are aware of WP:COI. I recommend you also familiarize yourself with WP:RS and WP:FRINGE. After your block expires, you will be welcome to contribute to Wikipedia constructively. Although, seeing your attitude, I do not see why you might want to contribute to a project run by "fuckheads". You have your own website, why not talk to the world there. Fwiiw, the political status of Tibet is indeed disputed, the relevant article being Tibetan sovereignty debate. The "theory" of the Dalai Lama condoning human sacrifice, on the other hand, is not "disputed", but an obvious case of the lowest sort of blood libel. It may be notable to Li Ao's biography that he should stoop to such a level, but hardly qualifies as evidence of "contemporary human sacrifice". I assure you that you did not "rile me up" at all; I was rather intrigued by this textbook piece of propaganda, and learned something about the state of Chinese nationalism in Taiwan. Thanks, --dab (𒁳) 10:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (File:Falun-gong suicide.jpg)

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Falun-gong suicide.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Taren Steele

edit
 

The article Taren Steele has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

fails PORNBIO, only award is for a group sex scene, no reliably sourced biographical content.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
