==Long Tan page has been hijacked since u stopped keeping an eye==
The Battle of Long Tan page has been hijacked, information distorted apparently by kids, since you stopped keeping an eye on it. They are now claiming in the information box that the Australian counted 245 Vietnamese dead, when the footnote states an Australian veteran counted only 50 fallen enemy. They've also presented the following as fact:

"There have been accusations that the Australians exaggerated VC and NVA casualties, but in 2006 the former enemy reavealed their casulties were some 1500killed or died from wounds and another 1000 wounded."([[User:Lovechangeseverything|Lovechangeseverything]] ([[User talk:Lovechangeseverything|talk]]) 05:59, 12 April 2009 (UTC))

== FAR Point violation ==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/Tropical_Storm_Erick_(2007)/archive1 This nomination] is part of an ongoing dispute between Hurricanehink and JulianColton. Julian wrote three articles that were GA, but kept Hink from meeting the "more than 33% GA" requirement for a Featured Topic. This has resulted in Hink attacking all of Julian's articles. As you can see from the request, it is based on a false understanding of notability. The whole nomination is part of a dispute, and it is disruptive. I think this needs the immediate attention of the FAR directors. [[User:Ottava Rima|Ottava Rima]] ([[User talk:Ottava Rima|talk]]) 00:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

::What should we keep? [[:Category:Vietnamese kings|Vietnamese ''kings'']] or [[:Category:Vietnamese emperors|Vietnamese ''emperors'']]. Early Vietnamese nations ([[Hung Vuong]], [[Thuc Dynasty]], [[Trieu Dynasty]], [[Ngo Dynasty]], [[Early Le Dynasty]], [[Ly Dynasty]]) were too small to be called empires, but later Vietnamese nations have grown to a size of an empire ([[Tran Dynasty]], [[Ho Dynasty]], [[Later Le Dynasty]], [[Tay Son Dynasty]], [[Nguyen Dynasty]]).

== Ancient sources ==

I am honestly scared by the ignorance expressed by some editors in this discussion. One person managed to write the following: "So if modern scholarship disagrees with ancient sources, we do need to make note of that fact. And we should do this in a way that does not imply that one is more "correct" than the other. The key word in WP:NPOV after all is ''Neutral''." I almost fell off my chair. I wonder if he would have said the same about science, say if Aristotle and Einstein disagreed about gravity, should we give equal weight to both views in the article about gravity? Or is it just that history is not a real academic exercise, without any progress or development of methodology, where people just write what they feel like? Good grief... [[User:Lampman|Lampman]] ([[User talk:Lampman|talk]]) 18:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
:There's worse, when a group of editors from the same ethnic group get a majority in a dispute and vote all their nationalist sources in as RS, eg  [[Tamilnet]]; yes it sucks, but the rules only apply at FAC. After all, when [[WP:WIAFA]] was changed, about 50 people debated it even though only 0.1% of articles are FA and maybe only 1% of articles are gunning for it. Whereas when OR was tweaked recently, only a handful of people noticed, even though OR affects 100% of articles. Obviously they know that the policy isn't actually all that relevant, whatever it says.

:Have you read the new alteration to [[WP:WIAFA]] 1c. My understanding is that "high quality" means that the [[WP:RS]] should be followed more rigourously, which means that most of the stuff should follow the recommendation that secondary sources are the most used sources. As far as I can tell, the IPN bio is a brief summary, like an encyclopedia bio (#3 source), and it is the most cited thing, so I think RelHistBuff's concerns are still valid.

:Re:??.

Yes, tertiary source is used here, but there is little I can do about it. I still think it is reliable enough. Btw, I've reread 1c and there's nothing I can see that would indicate that tertiary sources are not applicable.

Once again, this month, we have a bumper crop of featured and A-class content, and our heartfelt thanks go to editors who have worked so hard to write these. But with our growth in quality content comes increased demand for reviewers. Which is where you can help. 

Reviewing is easy and rewarding. You don't need any prior experience and you don't need to write a full review. Any input is helpful so you initially can just comment on what you're comfortable with. Most reviewers start off by focusing one or two things – say, the historical context, or the text, or the references, or the layout, or the images – and as they gain experience, they broaden the scope of the review. You can easily keep up to date with which articles need review, by copying this text – {{tl|WPMILHIST Review alerts}} – to your userpage or talkpage.

Could you take another look at this block?  You blocked his main account for being used mainly (at least, lately) for undoing other users' edits.  On close inspection, though, he was undoing edits of blocked Hkelkar socks: in other words, reverting edits made by a banned user.  If this is the whole story I would be inclined to simply unblock; is there more to it?

Lots of reverts lately but most were openly declared to be reverts of a banned user, and were done correctly.  So I think it's fair to say you did not follow the Checkuser policy in making this check.  Maybe that's an honest mistake.  But then you compounded that mistake by issuing a block when the use of multiple accounts was legitimate and specifically supported by policy.  The reason the user did this was to protect linking his IP to his main account; that is a legitimate security purpose.  And even had you not realized that, I still fail to see how you can call this a "bad hand" account when you are unable to point to any abuse at all.  This action of yours does not [[WP:BLOCK|prevent]] even any perceived damage; its effect is only to discourage a user for reverting the edits of [[User:Hkelkar]]'s sockpuppets.

== FA Review for Turkey !!! ==

hi yellowmonkey, the article of [[Turkey]] needs definite review of its FA status, because much of it is biased for example no information about recent developments in politics such as the role of Islam in state or headscarf the trouble between the Islamist-rooted government and the secular institutions which the ruling party nearly ended up being banned, there is nothing of these informations and when entered it is always removed by secularist supporting users, therefore i think it is really necessary to review the article.

I am not sure which I find most depressing: (1) that people think plugging their racist views is a good idea, (2) that people think that reporting a problem particularly affecting a particular group of people is an attack against that group, or (3) that people are so infantile as to think "if you say something bad against a group I belong to I will retaliate by saying something bad against a group you belong to". There are health problems with a high frequency in groups that I belong to: I am glad that the fact is reported, so that I can consider the problem, and possible things to do about it. I do not go round trying to hide the fact, or thinking that anyone who mentions it is evil. What is more, if I '''did''' think someone was being unreasonable in comments referring to a group I belong to, I would try to explain why, not start retaliating by making similarly unreasonable comments in return. I am fully aware that pointing this out is probably futile, as racists usually don't '''want''' to be reasonable, but I mention it in the hope that ''someone'' may take notice and ''think''.

:: these comments are by socks of banned editor Nangparbat .  no use trying to discuss or debate with him.  he has already made it plenty clear that rules of WP are of no concern to him.  The info about endogamy is hardly racist and is a practice seen in many communities  of different races although probably not to same degree as British Pakistanis.  that it leads to health issues is undeniable & therein lies the importane of bringing it out in the open [[User:Wikireader41|Wikireader41]] ([[User talk:Wikireader41|talk]]) 03:07, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
