May 2013

Hello, I'm Oda Mari. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Vassal state, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 07:17, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to 2010 Senkaku boat collision incident. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 07:22, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at 2010 Senkaku boat collision incident, you may be blocked from editing. Oda Mari (talk) 08:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Vassal state, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Oda Mari (talk) 08:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Incidents of Endowing and Forfeiting the Titles of Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Incidents of Endowing and Forfeiting the Titles of Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Incidents of Endowing and Forfeiting the Titles of Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All of your contributions...

...are a problem. You appear to either not understand WP:NPOV, or be deliberately refusing to follow it. THis policy, one of Wikipedia's most important, requires that articles be written neutrally, not slanted to follow a specific POV. The article you just created on the Dalai Lama is the worst of what you've done, in that you've made an article that is strictly one side of the story, under a wholly non-neutral title. Thus, I needed to nominate it for deletion. Your edits relating to the Senkaku Islands are also a problem, in that you have been attempting to both change the name against consensus (the community decided last year that "Senkaku Islands" is the correct name in English, at least for now), and the use of scare quotes in the China-Japan article imply something illegitimate about factual events. If you want to edit from a specific POV, you'll need to find another website.

Also, please consider this a formal warning under the Arbitration decision on the Senkaku Islands. This decision, which you can read at WP:SENKAKU, says that after being warned, any uninvolved admin may sanction a user acting disruptively in this area, including blocking, topic banning, or other remedies as necessary. Any further disturbance in this matter will result in me reporting you and requesting you be sanctioned. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:31, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for deletion of Template:China Marine Surveillance

Template:China Marine Surveillance has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Mangoe (talk) 13:55, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Misrepresentation of sources

Your translation of a headline from Xinhua News, itself a source of highly dubious neutrality, is wildly inaccurate. You have already been warned that one of Wikipedia's core principles is to maintain WP:NPOV. For your information, and so there is no misunderstanding, deliberately misrepresenting sources may result in an editor being blocked, topic restricted, or even site banned. RashersTierney (talk) 09:35, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at 2010 Senkaku boat collision incident shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. RashersTierney (talk) 20:24, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Zhan Qixiong

The article Zhan Qixiong has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

POV fork of 2010 Senkaku boat collision incident

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. RashersTierney (talk) 22:22, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to 2010 Senkaku boat collision incident, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. RashersTierney (talk) 21:16, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Zhang Yitang

On 29 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Zhang Yitang, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that mathematician Zhang Yitang proposed a proof that there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers with a prime gap of 70 million or less? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zhang Yitang. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

June 2013

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Japan Coast Guard. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 17:28, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Okinawa Trough, you may be blocked from editing. Oda Mari (talk) 17:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at China Marine Surveillance. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. please 1. use an edit summary 2. talk about article content on the article talk page 3. add new talk items at the bottom of talk pages 4. read others edit summaries about adding links in sections is against style 5. check which editor added what 5. do not incorrectly change the title of references because you favour one alternative name Widefox; talk 18:36, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has nothing to do with dispute or consensus. I improved the quality of the article and it was User:Oda Mari who vandalized the content. The Chinese name for Okinawa Trough is Chinese: 中琉界沟 which is widely accepted in Chinese literature. I didn't change the article's name but just make it more solid. It's User:Oda Mari who violates POV who constantly rejects any name that is not "officially called" in Japanese. My edit in Japan Coast Guard is a neutralized statement. It's claimed by Japan but its legitimacy is challenged by China, more specifically, CMS now. What's wrong with it? User:Oda Mari's revert violates POV because the description she/he supports is not neutral, merely a one-sided claim. It seems User:Oda Mari doesn't know Chinese because she/he apparently ignored all my references in Chinese. However, he constantly insert Japanese sources in English articles. What's the point of honoring the authenticity of sources in Japanese while distrusting sources in Chinese. It doesn't make any sense, sir!SummerRat (talk) 19:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to North China Sea Fleet (CMS), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. WikiPuppies _bark ^dig 20:09, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is the added content doesn't make any sense. It asks for primary source. However, the referenced link is from it's official website. I am really confused that the official website isn't trusted, then what on earth a primary source it is. Thank you.SummerRat (talk) 20:12, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The official website is considered a primary source because it is directly related to the subject. It is generally preferred to use secondary sources, such as mainstream newspapers or books published by established publishing houses. You may wish to read this for more information. WikiPuppies _bark ^dig 20:18, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) Read about that in wp:primary sources. We need wp:secondary sources. Please do not remove that template from the page. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 20:19, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I moved the comment from my talk page to the article talk page. Please in future keep all discussion about articles on the talk page of the articles. Feel free to talk to me on my page about anything else. Widefox; talk 22:03, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for tendentious editing on several China-related articles. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

As an uninvolved editor coming here from CMS DAB, I've only just seen the editing restrictions placed on the topic Talk:Senkaku Islands dispute. I don't know if you are aware of them? Be aware that the topic restrictions appear (to me) to cover both pages (North China Sea Fleet (CMS) (Senkaku Islands section). You will want to read that thoroughly, and may want to seek clarification on this. I linked the two articles, and talk pages, and am happy for others to make changes to my edits on either page in line with those restrictions. Widefox; talk 13:00, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These restrictions were brought to their attention above. RashersTierney (talk) 13:28, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to China Marine Surveillance may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Ways to improve 1st Marine Surveillance Flotilla

Hi, I'm Scalhotrod. SummerRat, thanks for creating 1st Marine Surveillance Flotilla!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. If more detail is not added, this will be up for deletion shortly.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 03:04, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Topic ban

You have continued making tendentious edits and edit-warring on topics related to the Senkaku Islands, for instance with [1] and [2]. Under the rules imposed by the Arbitration Committee at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Senkaku Islands, you are therefore now banned from all edits related to Senkaku/Diaoyu for a period of six months. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:36, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When you are topic-banned, it means you are not allowed to make edits in that area. Since you have ignored the ban and continued to edit-war on several articles, I have blocked you for a day. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:32, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've done no "tendentious edits". Stop your tendentious accusation.SummerRat (talk) 07:36, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

SummerRat (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

The accusation by User:Future Perfect at Sunrise is wrong. I've done no "tendentious edits". I objects to the idea of setting Senkaku as a "consensus" and "neutral" name for Diaoyu Islands. It's neither neutral nor original. I corrected the WP:TW caused by User:Oda Mari in China Marine Surveillance related articles. SummerRat (talk) 07:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=The accusation by [[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise]] is wrong. I've done no "tendentious edits". I objects to the idea of setting Senkaku as a "consensus" and "neutral" name for [[Diaoyu Islands]]. It's neither neutral nor original. I corrected the [[WP:TW]] caused by [[User:Oda Mari]] in [[China Marine Surveillance]] related articles. [[User:SummerRat|SummerRat]] ([[User talk:SummerRat#top|talk]]) 07:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=The accusation by [[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise]] is wrong. I've done no "tendentious edits". I objects to the idea of setting Senkaku as a "consensus" and "neutral" name for [[Diaoyu Islands]]. It's neither neutral nor original.

[[User:SummerRat|SummerRat]] ([[User talk:SummerRat#top|talk]]) 07:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=The accusation by [[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise]] is wrong. I've done no "tendentious edits".

I think that perhaps you didn't understand the topic ban and the way it works. Because the articles are under General Sanctions, any uninvolved admin (which FPOS counts as) may unilaterally ban you for editing in the topic if he believes you're acting disruptively. If you don't agree with that decision, you have to make an appeal at WP:BASC. You can't decide for yourself that your edits are okay (otherwise, topic bans would have no meaning). As for the name of the islands, you can discuss the matter (not edit war over it) after your ban is over. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:55, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
