==Honor Killing==

Hello,

There is a discussion going on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Honor_killing#Sati_is_Honor_Suicide_not_Honor_Killing here] about whether [[sati]], an ancient form of suicide in which a woman voluntarily immolates herself, is considered [[honor killing]]. Since you have contributed to the Hinduism page, I thought you would be the right person to ask. I hope you will contribute to the discussion. Thanks

:Hello Newguy34, IP addresses are never permanently blocked, because they change their owners and you don't know how many persons use that address at the same PC or network. The block length depends on multiple factors and is usually extended with every block. If an IP continues to vandalize directly after a block expired, just give a 4im-warning and report to [[WP:AIV]] if they continue to vandalize after that warning.

Thanks for the block, but I think 31 hours is very light, this is a vandal that is back for at least the tenth time, he persistently removes correct information, removes active discussion, makes personal attacks and stalks other users undoing random edits.

:Yes I know, I've blocked him at least 5 times before (previously using IPs from the 71.99.0.0/16 range). Because he uses dynamic IPs, a longer block wouldn't make any sense and will only create collateral damage.

==History of Indonesia==

Dear Mr. Oxymoron83,

There is a missing history link in "The Portuguese" section. Portuguese did not explore directly to Maluku islands but tried firstly to explore Java island. To fill in this gap, I tried to add very important milestone of the Portuguese exploration in Java island. This history has been taught in Junior High School history curriculum in Indonesia. The milestone is as follow:

''Portuguese started to get access to profiting spices trade by trying to form a coalition with Sunda Kingdom by accepting a crown prince of the kingdom invitation to make peace and trade treaty in 1512. In 1522 Portuguese tried to realize the treaty by firstly coming to Sunda Kalapa, the Sunda Kingdom’s port to sign a cooperation and erected a padrao there. [18] [19] Portuguese failed to realize this trade cooperation in the next years because 1452 troops from Cirebon – Demak alliance had forcefully conquered Sunda Kalapa in 1527. Portuguese went to the east, to Maluku, to have new access to pepper trade.''

As there are a lot of editors who oppose (at a quick investigation I counted more that oppose than support your view), your move ''is'' definitely controversial. I personally think such suffixes are unnecessary. But moving a page without awaiting the outcome of ongoing discussions although you know that there are a lot of opposing editors, doing this repeatedly for the same as well for similar articles, nevertheless stating these moves are not controversial, and trying to force your desired outcome by asking other editors to do such moves for you is [[WP:DISRUPTION|disruptive]].

Hi! 20 days ago, you blocked this IP for 10 days. Now its vandalizing again. This IP has made [[Special:Contributions/128.109.58.214|~80 edits since September 2007]], all of them where intentional vandalism. It belongs to the "North Carolina Research and Education Network" and has been active for many months, so it can be assumed that this IP is a fixed IP address, not some DSL router.

:Blocked for 3 more weeks. The problem with such IPs is that they are often used by multiple users and different users are warned every time. As I found only 1 constructive edit that removed vandalism (but only to vandalize the page afterwards itself), a longer block seems to be necessary to protect Wikipedia in this case. --[[User:Oxymoron83|Oxymoron]]<sup>[[User_talk:Oxymoron83|83]]</sup> 23:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Masanao Takazawa ==

There was no blatant commercialism attached to the article, if so "show me" if not reinstate. The second submission was formated in the same manner as other karate masters currently listed on the website. Me thinks there may be ulterior motives for the continued harassment of this particular persons history.

'''This is a portion of the Funakoshi piece:''' Does it not promote commuercially Shotokan or the Japan Karate Association? Shorin-ryu? Shorei-ryu?

Funakoshi had trained in both of the popular styles of Okinawan karate of the time: Shōrei-ryū and Shōrin-ryū. His own style was influenced by kendo distancing and timing. '''Shotokan''' is named after Funakoshi's pen name, Shoto, which means "pine waves" or "wind in the pines". Shōtōkan means "Shoto's house" or "Shoto's school".

In 1936, Funakoshi built the first Shōtōkan dojo in Tokyo. He changed the name of karate to mean "empty hand" instead of "China hand" (as referred to in Okinawa); the two names sound the same in Japanese, but are written differently. Doing this upset some of his countrymen, and afterwards, Funakoshi never returned to Okinawa. This eventually led to the creation of the '''Japan Karate Association''' (JKA) in 1955 with Funakoshi as the chief instructor. Funakoshi was not supportive of all of the changes that the organization.

== "Qualifications Based Selection" article deletion ==

Hello.

I understand that at 09:02, 6 December 2007, you deleted "Qualifications Based Selection." Deletion information stated:‎ (Speedy deleted per (CSD R1), was a redirect to an non-existent page)

I was unaware of any non-existent pages references in my article. I wrote the article earlier in the year. It was a serious article and the only one on its subject in Wikipedia.

I had not updated the article in a while and was unaware of any problem.

Would you consider restoring the article? Please communicate with me by email to <email address>
Thank you.

=== Deletion of Qualifications-Based Selection ===

I still don't understand. I created that article. It was largely based on personal experience and techniques that I helped develop personally as a government official. The article certainly was not copyrighted material, nor did it contain any. It was mainly about a technique used in government purchasing, so even the references would have been to ideas in the public domain. It had references and links, too.

What can I do? I don't spend much time working in Wikipedia. But I did spend a good bit of time working on that article and I want to have it restored. What should I have done to prevent what happened? I think the action might have been malicious, but I don't understand why anyone could possibly find offense at this article about a completely non-controversial subject.

I would certainly appreciate your help as someone familiar with Wikipedia.

Thank you.

You received that message which I sent months ago to someone who got assigned your [[IP address#Static and dynamic IP addresses|dynamic IP]] at that time when you were logged out. No one except you has edited from your account. --[[User:Oxymoron83|Oxymoron]]<sup>[[User_talk:Oxymoron83|83]]</sup> 20:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

==Zelda Template==

Hello, you helped me a while back regarding a page about Bob Dylan called "I'm Not There".  I need help or advice since you seem to be an administor..

There several nav. templates for the video game series "The Legend of Zelda".  The main one is [[template:Zelda games]].  There's a lot of edit history and talk history on that page.  There is also a template for the series itself  [[template:Zelda]].  There is also another one called [[Template:Zelda characters]]

A person going by the name [[User:Guest9999|Guest9999]] created a brand new template simply called [[template:The Legend of Zelda]].  I don't have a problem with that, but this person completely ignored the existing templates and created a brand new template.  Shouldn't the old edit history and talk histories be perserved, as largely it coves the same material covered on the original Zelda games template?  Also, person didn't propose any changes on talk pages, he just did it and replaced the templates with his own.  I don't have a problem with the template itself -- but the talk and edit should be perserved, and the guy should get a consensus to see what other people think since it's linked to so many other pages.  Thanks [[User:Berenlazarus|Berenlazarus]] ([[User talk:Berenlazarus|talk]]) 02:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
:The pages have already been merged and discussion takes place at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Legend of Zelda series#Navigational Templates]], I think this is resolved. --[[User:Oxymoron83|Oxymoron]]<sup>[[User_talk:Oxymoron83|83]]</sup> 01:01, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

;From the editor
This is the second issue of [[WP:GER|WikiProject Germany]]'s newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Outreach/Newsletter/Newsdesk|Newsdesk]]

;Other areas where you can help
*'''Assessment requests''': Some open '''[[WP:GER/A#Requests for assessment|Requests for assessment]]''' need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Germany/Assessment&action=watch watchlist]''' the assessment page.
*'''More task forces and subprojects''': As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a [[WP:GER/MZ|Mainz task force]], a [[WP:MUC|Munich subproject]] and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
**Transportation in Germany
**German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
**German Democratic Republic
Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the [[WT:GER|project talk page]] (don't forget to [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Germany&action=watch watchlist it]).

*'''Cities and municipalities task force'''
The '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Cities|task force]]''' dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Cities|here]]

*'''Article Assessment''': 
There are now way over [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Germany articles by quality statistics|26.000 articles]] tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through [[:Category:Unknown-importance Germany articles|Articles needing Importance assessment]] or [[:Category:Unassessed Germany articles|Articles needing a basic quality assessment]].

== User:Mr Niebla ==

I am wondering are you in any way affiliated with [[User:Mr Niebla]]? His user page seems to have been copied from yours (without editing out your user name). This use has been vandalizing other people's pages and I think it is in your best interest to remove your name from his/her page.--[[User:Cahk|Cahk]] ([[User talk:Cahk|talk]]) 09:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for spotting that and notifying me. I've left him a message and removed the links to my pages. If he continues in the same way, his userpage will be replaced with another template anyway ... --[[User:Oxymoron83|Oxymoron]]<sup>[[User_talk:Oxymoron83|83]]</sup> 15:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

==Thanks #4==
Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page.  That editor has been harrassing me on and off ever since an argument we had ''four months ago''.  It's kind of sad he even still remembers me.

Another editor has added the <code>{{tl|prod}}</code> template to the article [[ElgooG]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|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 [[Talk:ElgooG|its talk page]]. If you remove the <code>{{tl|prod}}</code> 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. <!-- Template:PRODNote --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 04:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh I understand now. Perhaps I will let it rest. That would be probably be for the best.

Its embarrassing that it was perceived as such as my plan was to deepen it considerably. However, I take the hint, as well as my leave. Thank you for your fair approach which has left upon me a highly favorable impression:0)
