Lee Areum
Hey there! I'm really failing to understand why users keep rendering her given name "아름" as "雅凜". "아름" is a Native Korean word and is not a Sino-Korean word of Chinese origin, therefore, it is only ever written exclusively in Hangul. Hanja does NOT equal Chinese, it is the implementation of Chinese characters for writing the Korean language. If you don't want to take my word for it, you can have a look at an online dictionary where it explicitly shows that 아름 does not have any corresponding Hanja as it is a native Korean word.

I should not have to warn you of this, but please do not vandalise the Amir Khan page again.

Your response was flawed nonsense once again, Acroterion. It is quite clear that I am not mistaken at all - this, as the case before, is NOT just opposition but clearly vandalism. Not only that, but his vandalism is not opposition against such things - it IS nationalist POV edit warring.

SFDK the group was created at the beginning of the 90's. The members were zatu and two friends and the original name was Straight From Da Kranny. In 1994 joined in the group Acción Sánchezthey changed the name. The group was renamed Siempres Fuertes De Konciencia. They recorded several demos: “Tras mil vueltas” (1995), “Esto va en serio” (1996)... Their first LP was “Siempre Fuertes” (1999).

Thanks for the link, Shirt58. I think it's clear that Nolan chose horizontal stripes ("rugby hoops") to stand out in contrast to the vertical lines of the goalpost and boundary fence. Pretty smart composition.

Your contributed article, Johor Bahru General Hospital
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Johor Bahru General Hospital. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Hospital Sultanah Aminah. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Hospital Sultanah Aminah - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Shirt58 (talk) 11:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:Petclub24
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User talk:Petclub24, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Invitation to become registered editor
Hi Shirt58,
You today invited me at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Science to create an account for myself. You have done this for at least one other person who has posted to Ref Desk under an IP address.
Thank you for your good intentions, but please be aware that this is pointless and just fills up Wikipedia servers with orphan talk pages, because IP addresses are reassign by ISP's alll the time to diffrent users. The IP address I have now could be someone else's only a few minutes later. It's only a fluke that I spotted your effort. If you want to discuss anythging with an unregistered user, invite them to your talk page.
There are good reasons for not registering, mostly centred around the strange attitudes of Wikipedia administrators. If you look at the administrator's talk page archive, you will see a a number of discussions, some quite lengthy and bordering on the vitriolic, with various unregistered and registered posters on this topic. Like others, I have posted to Ref Desk in good faith, and always constructive. Never the less, some admins and some editors don't like me, and have tried to block and ban me. Registering would only make it easier for them. I have in recent months sharply reduced my contributions to Ref Desk due to the attitudes of certain Wikipedians who appear to view it as a club to which new members are not necessarily welcome.

- The second criteria would make sense if the welcome template didn't invite them to stay, show them how to create an account and wish them the very best that they enjoy editing here - and if the IP wasn't blocked when you left the message. In my experience removing their ability to contribute after they vandalise does a pretty good job of explaining to them we're not a fan ;p. Ironholds (talk) 12:18, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Brisbane Lions
I wasn't sure how to reply to your message, so this is my attempt. I was wanting to update the Brisbane Lions Membership and Average Attendance chart (in the Membership base and sponsorship section) to include the 2012 figures, which I have now completed. The previous owner had not updated the chart since 2008, so I had updated it with the 2009-2011 figures earlier in the year. I have also just finished adding an Average Goals per Game chart to Jonathon Brown's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brisbane1965 (talk • contribs) 13:55, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Sporting Clube de Goa squad
Hey mate. First off I would like to thank you for taking the time to edit on the Sporting Clube de Goa page and add the appropriate tags to certain articles but I just noticed you created the Sporting Clube de Goa squad template which is fine because I was going to get to that eventually but I saw you based this off the squad on the club website but that is not exactly correct. That squad has not been updated since around 2 years ago (which is strange because they update the articles in the site) but for example, KAILO KARPEH, is listed on the club website but he was released over the summer and Warun Deep (or Warundeep Singh) left the club in 2011. Milagrio Medeira played for Vasco S.C. since 2011 as well as proven through here ([7]). Not saying what you did was wrong (most of the squad is still there) but I thought I would tell you that I will redo the template before I actually do it. Cheers and again thank you for the help. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 04:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks mate. The template is good, however it would only really work if I knew the numbers of each player. A football template needs the numbers the players wear on the back of there jerseys which we dont know for Sporting. There are clubs that I still need to do which this template will come in handy for and it shall make my life easier. As for the source... well the site does not update so I used to recent edition of the Indian Football 2012-13 transfer list (Seen here [8]) and so far, based on the two games Sporting has played this season, that list is right. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 05:03, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, your in Australia. You should be watching the A-League... Melbourne Heart vs. Wellington Phoenix is a good game at the moment haha. But ya, I am in the Eastern Standard Time Zone... American EST. So it is currently 1:19 in the morning. Usually during the week I never edit wikipedia due to school but on weekends I like to stay up till around 3 in the morning; however that is only because I am redoing all the Indian footy pages. Once I am done with this then I will probably stop staying up at 3 and maybe lower it to 1:30 or something. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 05:20, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Lutefisk
Stockfish is pre-lutefisk — the hard, dried stage. By the time it's been processed into actual lutefisk it's of a rather jelly-like texture. Throwing a handful of it at an editor to teach them a lesson might have a nice slopping effect, if your aim is good, but whacking with it I should think literally impossible. Besides, what's good about the stockfish is that the rack enters into the walloping! [Proudly :] Effective, I should think! They'll remember that for a few weeks! Did little Shirt notice my recent generous offer to consider requests for specialised teaching-a-lesson templates? [Dubiously :] I suppose I could try to design a lutefisk-throwing template. I don't know if I feel really inspired, though. The thrower would need a serious shower, or steam-bath, too. (P. S. Always substitute my templates if when you use them, to get your own sender name in them.) darwinbish BITE 11:39, 16 October 2012 (UTC).

User:Dugararchit
I thought that was a very forebearing remark you left on this talk page. Forgive me if I am attempting to teach my grandmother how to suck eggs, but if you look at the edit histories of the various pages edit by this person, there appears to be at best some tag-team editing going on & I suspect a sock IP edit on one of the talk pages. I'm not really experienced enough in the wikiworld to know whether it is is worth taking further or how to do it. TheLongTone (talk) 08:25, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hi again, TheLongTone, and thanks for your kind message.
- My personal editing philosophy includes trying to reduce the amount of unnecessary on-wiki drama. In this case, I thought I'd also let the editor know that their edits may also cause unnecessary off-wiki drama. That is because I am the nicest person in the entire world.[dubious – discuss]
- And no, no-one's granny needs lessons here. I've been here a long while, and often ask other editors for help with what might seem to them klewless moob questions; for example, I'm still hopelessly naive about most of the techy workings of the software.
- As for the <lawyer> alleged allegations of allegations of alleged sockpuppetry allegations </lawyer>, do you have WP:TWINKLE switched on in your userprefs? It will guide you through the process of adding a Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations case. Let me know if you have any questions about this, or anything else. (Caveat: I may have no clue how to answer them.)

- And I thought that I was the nicest person in all the world.

Regarding GrexIt: non-notability tag
Hello,
I noticed that you have tagged a software company's article created by me (GrexIt (software)). I think this company has many firms (mainly in Europe) as it's customer and I personally use it and find it very useful for conversations and tracking of the same. Company's customer page (http://grexit.com/grexit-customers) and the notes I cited in the wiki page of GrexIt looks satisfactory to me. I had started using it after reading these articles only and I found/thought of sites like TechCrunch credible enough, before starting to use. Please let me know of you still have questions.

Deletion request for Template:Eastern Orthodox liturgical days
As you rightly said, "Technically, the WP:R2 tag is incorrect." Even so, tagging it for that criterion was reasonable, in the hope that some admin would ignore all rules and delete it anyway. However, I can suggest two alternative possibilities that might have been better. {{db-g6}} (Uncontroversial maintenance or clean-up) would cover it. Also, for almost any page that you have created and nobody else has edited, {{db-g7}} (one author of the page, who has requested deletion) is pretty well certain to be accepted. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:33, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Butts Bridge
When {{coord}} is used with {{coord|number|number|number|N|number|number|number|W}}, the numbers represent degrees, minutes, and seconds respectively. The only problem with your edit to the Connecticut NRHP bridges list is that you put in slightly wrong numbers — the latitude had 65 minutes and the longitude 97 minutes, and the template objected because latitudes and longitudes by definition can't have more than 59 minutes. For future reference — another way to get the coords is to look at the NRHP county list; all NRHP sites are on a county-level (or sub-county level) list, and these almost always include the coords. For the Butts Bridge, you want National Register of Historic Places listings in Windham County, Connecticut. Nyttend (talk) 20:40, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Åge Vedel Tåning
Hello Shirt58,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Åge Vedel Tåning for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 12:01, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

At the English WP, in order to satisfy the relevant speedy criterion for importance of people, WP:CSD#A7, it is not necessary to be notable, or even probably notable ; it is only necessary to have some indication of plausible importance. This is a very low bar, and deliberately so. But he in particular would clearly and unquestionably meet our criteria for WP:PROF because of his directorship, and also WP:GNG because of the 3 obits (I added the ones from the French WP). You mention in your message to Mr.T some conflicts about this at the da and fr WPs. I see none on the article history or on its talk p. I work a good deal here in articles on academics, so I'd be very interested in knowing something about it. Please respond on my talk page, for otherwise I might not see it.

You may find this IP editor's talk page on the French wiki interesting: 81.93.6.149. You were absolutely correct in that this article is a complete hoax. if it gets deleted, you'll get a "defender of the wiki" barnstar from me. :) be well. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 01:32, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Pete, thanks for that, deleted as spam (the previous deletion was pretty much the same text). It's the third deletion, but I won't salt yet because the first was nearly two years ago.
I don't normally have any involvement in RFA, and I don't watch that page, but I'd be happy to support any nomination, you'll just need to let me know Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:43, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
I agree that he is notable, you would think that a paid editor would make a better fist of writing an acceptable article, I'd ask for my money back (: Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:55, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Ciao
scrivo in italiano come mi chiedi. Sono un sockpuppet di francesds. Problema: non riesco più ad accedere al mio account e ogni volta che ne creo uno nuovo vengo bloccato da qualche filtro. I had a conflict in italian wikipedia and some italian admins consider me a vandal but it's not so. So I ask u if you can help me to restore my olds accoounts (kurt4 or francesds). Hope we can discuss calmy and adopting a NPOV. best wishes --Che ce posso fà (talk) 12:48, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Vituzzu has had a conflict with me in italian wikipedia. he accused me to use false sources but I demonstrated I had reason. I had edited an article concerning an italian professor (it's not my former professor and i'm not a student), there were no vandalism or diffamation but he had done some pressions on wiki.it admins cause he diden't like some of my edits. Two preminent other italian professors has confirmed my version and writed to it.wikipedia for protesting. There is a discussion in progress. I hope we can discuss calmy and I can work without problems. You can read italian and you can verify the quality of texts in my sandbox. Furthermore vituzzu has vandalised many times my sandbox. Can you at least send him an advise ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccpf 4 (talk • contribs) 13:40, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for the message. Yes, I did edit the page, and I don't have sources but I am very knowledgeable on the subject. I noticed that a lot of the other stuff on the page wasn't sourced either (maybe you could look at removing some of that, too?) I've re-added my extra information, and I hope you will leave it now, as the page is much-improved and more accurate now. Thanks very much!

I don't think he burying the hachet appears to be in the cards...a few hours ago, he accused me and another editor of being meatpuppets. Recently, he appeared to stand by that assertion at ANI.

How about taking it up another notch
Let me cut to the chase straightaway, I like your amicable attitude, and admire the spread of your contributions more importantly (not talking about edit count, don't think it measures anything other than activity frankly). You seem to have a good grasp of how things work in here. In short you are a reliable editor here. Hence, would you like me to nominate you for adminship? I don't really like this nominating for adminship business. I have generally avoided RfAs but nevertheless commented in some RfAs too. It's my belief that Wikipedia needs more admins with fair attitude like you. So, if you decide something let me know. Cheers, Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 15:35, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
- I take that comment as an affirmative. I went ahead and asked Wormm on his talk page as I don't wish to take any chances. It's imperative that you be successful in your very first attempt. Alright, then? Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 12:41, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Awaiting your comments
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Shirt58 - this page has been created. You need to indicate the acceptance of the nomination (once you do that, ask Worm to transclude the request or I might do something). Then answer these basic questions there:
- What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
- What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
- Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
Hope you reply soon. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 04:54, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- Shirt58, take your time, don't rush. If you'd rather postpone, we can wait - its better that you are happy with everything. MrT, stop being so pushy. These things take time, I'm sure Shirt58 is capable of reading the page just as I hope he's read the advice for administrator candidates. RfA is something that one needs to prepare for as a silly answer or an incorrect one can gain you many opposes very quickly. It's an open book exam where how you handle criticism is one of the factors, so you are likely to be criticised. As long as he stays calm I'm sure he will be fine but don't rush him, however excited you may be. WormTT(talk) 08:45, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited David Buss (United States Navy), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Distinguished Flying Cross and Distinguished Service Medal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

About Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) and WP:COPYVIO problems
Hi there, thanks so much fr sharing your concerns, I totally understood the copy material concerns & ll keep it in view in future however, I had a doubt on the first point of the text that you have mentioned-
Text: "Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI)is the apex body of fashion design in India" Source: "THE Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the apex body of Indian designers"
I was quite skeptical to use the term "apex body" (as mentioned on their official web) thinking that it can come under the category of flowery language so I particularly searched for a neutral source to confirm it. Hence, I did not change the sentence. Although I noticed that the article has already been edited, it would help me if you could clarify the doubt.
cheers :) Callousfreak (talk) 16:30, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Help required in merging
hey, as m quite new here I was wondering whether you could help me in sorting out this mess I myself created. There is this article J J Vallaya that I created however later discovered that wikipedia already has a dedicated page for this which spells like JJ Valaya. I have put in this template for merging the 2 articles. Can you please check this whether its being done in the right way??? I hope you ll be happy to help :) Callousfreak (talk) 16:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
- Why do you need help? It was probably not necessary to delete your text at J J Vallaya but I have e-mailed you it. Just get on and incorporate stuff into JJ Valaya. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Social History Tea Article
Hello Peter. Thanks for your feedback. Just one point - the section you refer to as being copyrighted - is duly credited in the citations and has been put in quotes - as it only has numbers related to tea production. This is purely factual information - hence one deemed the use of quote marks as appropriate. Would you still say it is copyright violation ? Look forward to your feedback.
