My page

Thanks for creating the Wikipedia page on me. As a Wikipedia user, I'm pleased that the old self-created version was deleted. As a Wikipedia subject, I'm honored to be considered notable enough for a somebody-else-created writeup! Best, --Jacobw 08:36, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Collaboration of the Week

League of Nations is the new Collaboration of the Week. Please join in helping make it a feature article.

MTR

Thanks for your additional photos in the MTR article! I almost mistaken them for copyrighted Gakei photos, as their photos are tagged in a similiar way. If you can, please continue to help out in one way or another so that it can become featured article status. :)

Gandhi

Hi,

I responded to your comments on the Gandhi image at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mahatma Gandhi. (Basically I changed the image). Please take a look. thanks. --ashwatha 16:50, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hello again,

I have replaced the image (again) with a public domain image. Please see my response at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mahatma Gandhi. --ashwatha 02:47, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Re : Siu Ho Wan

Thanks for the compliment. :) This photo was taken on my Airport Express trip back to HK International Airport. I didn't even realize the significance of the photo until the Disneyland Resort Line section was added later on.

Anyway, are you interested in working on the KCR and its lines' articles as well? I have a whole lot of photos from the same HK trip I made, and I thought a lot of supposedly-to-add information has been omitted from these articles. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 11:19, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re: KCR/KCRC split

(copied from Talk:East Rail (KCRC))

I personally believe that KCR should be split along the lines of MTR and MTR Corporation, i.e., for the rail line articles, namely East Rail (KCRC), West Rail (KCRC) and the LRT article to talk about the history of the rail lines, and for the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation article to talk about the company itself. What do you think? My message is also on the individual talk pages.

Also, this page should probably be renamed KCR East Rail because this is how KCRC brands it. JuntungWu 15:53, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the split, but I guess the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation would have less to be written, than the MTR Corporation Limited. The KCRC does not have so many office and apartment buildings, shopping malls, property management and those sort of things like the MTRCL do, tho we might expect it will have much more along the West Rail and the Ma On Shan Rail in the next few years. (the only one I can name is the Citylink Plaza at Sha Tin Station.)

The current title looks fine for me. And KCR East Rail already redirects to East Rail (KCRC) — Insta ntnood 20:45, Feb 6 2005 (UTC)

- Congratulations on the promotion of Octopus card article to Featured Article status! :) Anyway, I've started work on the rewriting and splitting of the article into KCR and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation respectively. - Mailer Diablo 10:41, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

WP:FAC#Octopus card

Next time when you're working on an article you may consider listing it on Hong Kong Collaboration of the Week. :-) — Insta ntnood 20:51, Feb 6 2005 (UTC)

Good work on Octopus card!

I've given it a support. Incidently, I've unblanked the PR nomination and added it to the archives. - Ta bu shi da yu 01:37, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

My application for adminship / Amir's accusations

I prefer not to edit the voting page, nor to add any comments for obvious reasons, but I guess the pages User:Amir1 was referring to are following:

and possibly also

Bahá'u'lláh and Baha'i Faith and their relevant talk pages. Please be aware that some users have archived Amir's stuff on Talk:Bahá'u'lláh to get it off the talk page, interestingly enough under the topical Talk:Bahá'u'lláh/Archive Personal_Attacks, but also in other archives.

I hope that helps. Refdoc 18:01, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for going through all that trouble. Refdoc 19:44, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I just stumbled upon Amir's accusations and did some research myself. Pleave view it and vote accordingly to your opinion in light of it. I am not quite sure what to make of the evidence. Perhpas he can explain. I don't know. Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/refdoc Apollomelos 04:12, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re: Category: Insurance companies of the PRC

Thanks Juntung. I've put it up on WP:CFD. — Instan tnood 13:05, Feb 13 2005 (UTC)

Re: KCR/KCRC split

Hello Juntung I've started moving and rewriting the materials from KCRC to KCR. As for the rolling stocks you mentioned on Mail diablo's discussion page, the rolling stocks of West Rail, Ma On Shan Rail and the new ones on East Rail are roughly the same. — Instan tnood 12:21, Feb 13 2005, UTC

Missing Image for Octopus card

The first image for the Octopus card seem to have disappeared. You want to have a look at it and re-upload if nessecery.

Anyway, I'll be uploading the photos for KCR sometime later. :) - Mailer Diablo 20:06, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

On the CL&N

Salve, Juntung!
Thanks for your support on the FAC candidacy of my Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railroad article. I'm glad to see there's some understanding about the red-links. There are thousands upon thousands of roads out there and, as Vaoverland said, Wikipedians just haven't gotten to them yet. A couple of the places I mention, e.g. Brecon, Ohio, I do need to create stubs for and I thank you for your contributions. Again, thanks for your suppport. Ave!

Hello there. I am recently being listed on RfC. Feel free to comment as you wish to. I regard it as a way out and to have the matter settled. Thanks. — Insta ntnood 19:19 Mar 1 2005 (UTC)

User:Vaoverland - administrator

Thank you for supporting my appointment as an administrator. I appreciate the pat on the back this represents. It felt nice to read the comments during the voting. Please let me know if you see something I should be doing as admin, as I intend to be fairly passive unless it is clear I should do otherwise. Thanks. Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 20:06, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

FAC

Hi, Juntung, thanks very much for your support for Colley Cibber on WP:FAC. It was really delightful (and a little surprising!) for me to find that people were willing to come out and vote for the old fraud.Bishonen | Talk 17:48, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate your kind words. Keep contributing stuff about HK - you are a very talented writer! - Ta bu shi da yu 07:51, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Singapore

Hi Juntung,

I suppose you are a Featured Article expert by now. :) I have a problem with an article - Singapore has failed Featured Article Candidate for the 3rd time. It would be appreciated if you can advise or help me out on raising the article to featured article status. - Mailer Diablo 07:19, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank You! from Carbonite

Thank you for supporting my RfA. I very much appreciate your confidence in me. Please let me know if you see something I should (or shouldn't) be doing as an admin. Regards, Patrick. Carbonite | Talk 13:47, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Hey Juntung, thank you for voting for me in my adminship nomination. I very much appreciate your support. Best, SlimVirgin 02:36, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate it, too. I would add that IHO, primary schools are by definition non-notable, and we want this to be an encyclopedia. My dad was a good man, and my house is a fairly nice building, but neither are of encyclopedic interest, and neither is my primary school. You understand this. Good for you. Rlquall 04:56, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

More schools on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion

As of March 25, 2005, there are an additional (6) articles listed for deletion under the POV notion that schools are non-notable (even though this is invalid reasoning as per the Wikipedia deletion policy). Please be aware that the following schools are actively being discussed and voted upon:

In response to this cyclical ordeal, a Schoolwatch programme has been initiated in order to indentify school-related articles which may need improvement and to help foster and encourage continued organic growth. Your comments are welcome and I thank you again for your time. --GRider\^talk

Interwiki links

You may already know this, but for the links on your user page to other Wikipedias, you can use interwiki links: for example, [[:ja:User:Jungtung|Japanese]] gives Japanese. The preceding colon must be present on article/user pages, though apparently not on talk pages. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know! — Knowledge Seeker দ 06:34, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank You!

Hi Juntung,

I would like to thank you for your vote of support and confidence for my adminship, it has been much appreciated. If you need anything in future that requires my attention, please do not hesitate to contact me. :)

Images and media for deletion

I am contacting people who previously helped to vote to delete a generally objectionable photograph by a vote of 88 to 21, and who might be unaware that immediately after that image was voted to be deleted someone posted another which was very similar in content. My objections to this, and the previous image that was voted to be deleted might be based upon reasons far different from any that you have, but I do object to it, and consider the posting of such images to be acts of asinine stupidity, which burdens the project and its major educational aims in ways that they should not be burdened, and can be extremely detrimental to the acceptance and growth of WIkipedia's use and influence. Thus far those who I believe to be in the extreme minority of Wikipedians who would like to include these images, many who have been channeled to the voting page from the article with which it is associated have dominated the voting, 23 to 12 (as of the time that I composed this message). I would like to be somewhat instrumental in shedding a bit more light upon the issue, and if possible, helping to turn the tide against its inclusion. It might also be necessary to begin making an effort to establish an explicit Wikipedia policy against explicite photographic depictions of humans engaged in erotic, auto-erotic, or quasi-erotic activities. To my limited knowledge such images have not been accepted as appropriate anywhere else within this project, and frankly I can agree with those who are casually labeled prudes for opposing their inclusion, that they should not be. Vitally important information that might be unwelcome by some is one thing that should never be deleted, but un-needed images that can eventually prevent or impede many thousands or millions of people from gaining access to the great mass of truly important information that Wikipedia provides is quite another matter. There are vitally important distinctions to be made. Whatever your reasons, or final decisions upon the matter, I am appealing for more input on the voting that is occurring at Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion. ~ Achilles † 03:55, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I moved your vote

On Images and media for deletion, I moved a Keep vote of yours from the Image:Charlotterossnypdblue.jpg section to the Image:MoneyJews.jpg section. Since you referred to antisemitism in your vote, I assumed you intended to vote on the latter subject and not the former, and I moved your vote so it would apply accordingly. If I've erred, my apologies. Thanks! Demi ^T/_C 17:15, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/United Kingdom corporation tax

Hi.

Thank you for your comments on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/United Kingdom corporation tax. I have boosted the section on "Avoidance" and should be grateful if you would have another look at it. I was slightly puzzled by your comments on what avoidance is - I wonder whether you're mistaking it for tax evasion? Whether that's the case or not, I thought it would be useful to add a brief explanation of what avoidance, which I have now done. Kind regards, jguk 17:41, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

RFA

Hi, Juntung. I saw that you voted on Cburnett's RFA. I was a bit surprised since you voted to oppose, but with the comment "Cool". I'm not trying to change your vote if that's what you meant (bias: I voted support) but the comment and vote appear inconsistent.

My RFA

Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Although the voting period just ended with a 14-8-2 vote, I will admit once and for all that I used it more as an evaluation of myself. Being promoted would have been a plus. I was more interested in who voted, when they voted, who would change their votes and when, and the comments I would receive. Hopefully I will correct the main weakness that was raised by those who voted oppose -- that I was too eager to put articles on VFD. Also, I will try to interact more with those Wikipedians who did not vote at all.

As for next month, I don't know if I will nominate myself again. I might not think about it until somebody else puts me up there on RFA at a later date. Eventually, I see myself as an admin, especially as the number of articles and users continues to grow. Thanks again and good luck at improving this vast archive of free knowledge.

Octopus Card photo

Thanks for taking Image:OctopusFrontNew.jpg. The image history says it's supposed to be GFDL, but you have it posted as fair use.

German names for Polish cities

Please stop to adding German names for Polish cities. Did You read the vote result?

1. For Gdansk, use the name Gdansk before 1308 and after 1945 - we have now the year 2005
2. Results on VOTE: Period from 1466 to 1793

48 votes for using Gdansk 47 votes for using Danzig There is no rule of excluding votes due to low edit count. --Witkacy 13:14, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This page is affected by the Gdańsk (Danzig) Vote. The following rules apply in the case of disputes:

For Gdańsk, use the name Danzig between 1308 and 1945
For Gdańsk, use the name Gdańsk before 1308 and after 1945
In biographies of clearly German persons, the name should be used in the form Danzig (Gdańsk) and later Danzig exclusively
In biographies of clearly Polish persons, the name should be used in the form Gdańsk (Danzig) and later Gdańsk exclusively.
For Gdansk and other locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names, e.g. Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) or Gdańsk (Danzig). An English language reference that primarily uses this name should be provided on the talk page if a dispute arises.
Reverts to conform with community consensus are excluded from the three-revert rule (3RR). Only the place names can be reverted exempt from the 3RR according to the outcome of this vote, additional changes fall again under the 3RR. Please use descriptive edit summaries.
Persistent reverts against community consensus despite multiple warnings may be dealt with according to the rules in Wikipedia:Dealing with vandalism. In case of doubt, assume good faith and do not bite newcomers.

The detailed vote results and the vote itself can be found on Talk:Gdansk/Vote. This vote has ended; please do not vote anymore. Comments and discussions can be added to Talk:Gdansk/Vote/discussion anytime. This template {{Gdansk-Vote-Notice}} can be added on the talk page of affected articles if necessary.

Could you please stop adding that template to all pages unrelated to the city of Gdańsk/Danzig/Dantzik? It's silly, it's like adding this notice to articles on Japanese cities: after all Japan was allied to Germany during WWII and the city was German... Halibu tt 14:50, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
