Salem, Oregon

edit

You added an interesting tidbit to Salem, Oregon, but it is the wrong article. Wouldn't Jerusalem be a better place for that? —EncMstr 07:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tibet

edit

Hi, I see you seem to be in an edit dispute regarding if Tibet is part of East Asia, or part of Central Asia. It would be way more helpful if you were to discuss it (I've started a discusion here) than just reverting each other's edits. I hope we can work something that satisfies everbody.--Keithonearth (talk) 02:15, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

oops, sorry I reverted that first compromise before you made your comment on the discussion page. My apologies. I answered you there.--Keithonearth (talk) 20:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Buddhism and Taoism Face to Face

edit

Could you please provide the page number(s) for the material you provided to Taoism from this book? Thanks! Vassyana (talk) 16:54, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I do not have immediate access to the book, though it's available locally to me. I'm sure given the subject of the book that quite a bit of it covers the topic. However, if you could just let me know the page numbers (preferably in the main body of the book, as opposed to the preface) where it specifically states that some suttas are based on earlier Taoist scriptures, that would be very helpful. Also, if it provides some specific examples, a quote or two would be great (also with page numbers). Thanks! Vassyana (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

821/822 Tibet/China peace treaty

edit

I see you still are editing controversial material without discussing it. I don't want to get into an edit war, but I was particularly disappointed with edit. It is a well known, and well referenced fact. (I have at least one book on my shelf that would be a solid reference for it) Your removing both the information and the reference wholesale shows a real disregard for having a balanced article. I wonder what could have been your reason for removing it, other than it's a fact that you find inconvenient. I also still see that you are still changing the Tibet Geographic description wholesale, without discussion, and after we had come to a compromise that expressed a number of opinions. Please discuss before making changes that could be controversial or I will have to revert your edits. --Keithonearth (talk) 08:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello Keithonearth and Ptr123, just to be fair, I checked the editing history, Ptr123 did not remove the peace treaty, it looks like he just added a space in between of two paragraphs, that shows as he changed the whole paragraph to a space on editing history, which looks like he deleted the whole thing. But if you look one line below, the whole paragraph is there. Chadsnook (talk) 23:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please be careful of the three-revert rule

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tibet. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Kralizec! (talk) 18:46, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Unreferenced BLPs

edit

  Hello Ptr123! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 709 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  Thanks for contributing new article Christian Association. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources. Please help by adding more sources to the article you created, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the material (see here for how to do inline referencing). Many thanks!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
