Bling

		The Original Barnstar
		For seeing a redlink, being bold, and starting the World Uyghur Congress article—a timely addition to the encyclopedia, and an article that thankfully is not full of the sensationalist and POV stuff that more prominent recent-news articles often are. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 17:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if you expand the article a little more (about 600 characters), it will be eligible for Did you know... rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 17:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated the article for DYK World Uyghur Congress. Since you did most of the work writing it, please check the nom to make sure you're ok with the hooks proposed or have any other comments; thanks. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 16:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Background on recent Uyghur rioting

Hi. I've noticed that you have made some very timely contributions to the articles on recent coverage of the Urumqi riots. I just wanted you to check the current "background" section on the page to see if it is presented in a factual manner. Thanks! Colipon+(T) 19:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sino-Pakistan relations after Urumqi riot

I noticed that in this edit you added Pakistan to the list; you may be interested in some of the Times of India sources in the relevant paragraph near the bottom of this version of the ETIM article (I have since rewritten that section and the sources are gone, but in the old version it mentioned stuff about Sino-Paki relations and accusations of "Uyghur terrorist training camps" in Pakistan). rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 00:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)#[reply]

Actually, this is probably easier: "China asks Pakistan, other countries to unearth links with Urumqi violence" is the article that seems to have the stuff on Pakistan. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 00:47, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

by the way...

It seems as though none of us (who have been fighting over the prose-part of the July 2009 Ürümqi riots article) even noticed that you've basically build the International Response-part basically all by yourself.

Kokang incident

Thanks for adding to this article. Do you think we could get it onto ITN? I started a discussion at WP:ITN/C#ITN candidates for August 28 but no one has responded yet; if we can come up with a good blurb I think it would be a good candidate. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:10, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I just got bold and added it to ITN myself... now I guess I'll just sit back and wait to see if anyone objects. (and in the meantime I'll brace myself for tons of edits...although hopefully this doesn't become as big a project as July 2009 Urumqi riots did!) rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:33, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kachin Independence Army

Regarding this edit: I think I also had the Kachin Independence Army listed in an earlier revision... but now that I look more closely at the source, it's not clear if he's saying they were actually involved in the fighting; this might just be saying that the KIA is somewhere in the area, not that they've participated in the fighting per se. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think that's an underlying problem with the whole issue.... there is so little information out (and what is out is repeated by different people, at different times, sometimes inappropriately, creating a bit of a mess) and it's not clear who is involved or who has done what. The same problem is causing a mess with numbers... for example, for the number of refugees, 10 000, 30 000, and 37 000 have all been thrown around and (and still are being thrown around today, different numbers in different sources), and the numbers of people reported to be in each army don't match up anywhere. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:46, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pixel

Thanks for working on the sourcing here; however, this one: Understanding Adobe Photoshop CS4 is complete crap; what they said, based on what I said, was completely mangled. When I did the SPIE paper that you cite now, I hadn't yet found the 1932 use of Pix in Variety; but by my talk at the Computer History Museum I had that: video here. The Online Etymology Dictionary had it in 1932, but didn't give any useful reference, so I had to do a lot of looking at microfilm. Anyway, it's in my "handout" of slides, and in the talk, so that talk video might be a better source to cite. Dicklyon (talk) 04:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I got that wrong; the 1932 Variety is not in the talk. It's in my slides for the SPIE talk, but that's not published. But you could reference Variety directly: Tuesday, July 12, 1932, p.6, section "PICTURES" headline "HIPP REOPENS AUG. 12: 2D RUN PIX -- Hippodrome, New York, is scheduled to reopen as a straight film house for RKO, its pictures following the Palace, on Aug. 12. ..." If you'd like a copy, email me. Dicklyon (talk) 05:34, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Urumqi trials

Do you think it's a good idea to include this? It is recent, but also it's from the same publication that apparently (according to the local officials) got the numbers wrong a week or so ago. If it were up to me, I would probably say leave it out until there are other sources independently corroborating it (not just repeating it). rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:59, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think Xinhua has the same issues (the XH article is probably, just like the CD one, coming from the central government somewhere far away); I would feel more comfortable waiting for something more independent to confirm this. After BBC and several others hurriedly picked up the first "200" story back in August and then got chided, I imagine they'll check their facts carefully now, so if we see BBC or one of those reporting on this and claiming those numbers are true, we could be a lot more confident in them. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 19:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To all the big editors of July 2009 Ürümqi riots: invitation for comment

I'm thinking the article is probably ready now to get a nice copyedit and go in for GAN, per the plan I laid out in [[Talk:July 2009 Ürümqi riots/Archive3#Time to remove {current}?]], as the article has become stable. I've started going through a copyediting and cleanup sweep, focusing mainly on rewording things now that we have a couple months' perspective (for example, listing only the final "official" casualty count, rather than all the temporary numbers that were being published right and left while the news was still unfolding), and am leaving my comments/concerns at Talk:July 2009 Ürümqi riots#Editing notes. If you have any time, I would welcome your input there (particularly on the section about videos within the External links, which has left me scratching my head). rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 04:54, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed one of the items you added to P:CE earlier.

Links to UNSC resolutions

Just a note that the links to the PDF copies of the UNSC resolutions you've been including don't work when a browser has not accessed the page before. What you need to do is include the web address that is used before the UN doc system redirects you to the address you end up at. So for United Nations Security Council Resolution 1091, instead of this you can include this and it should work for all users. It's just a kink in the UN Doc system—this is the only workaround that I have been able to find. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Northern Limit Line

Hi Midway,

I'm contacting you because I thought your perspective on the Northern Limit Line article might be useful. Recently the article's gotten some traffic related to the recent Bombardment of Yeonpyeong. On the NLL article, there is a claim that's been the subject of some... alteration. "The line was unilaterally set by the U.S.-led United Nations military forces in August 1953 after the United Nations Command and North Korea failed to reach an agreement." is sourced by Yŏnʼguwŏn, Hanʼguk Kukpang (1999). "Defense white paper". Ministry of National Defense, Republic of Korea. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help).

Recently another editor wanted to keep the source and change the claim to "When the Korean War ended in July 1953, South and North Korea signed an armistice negotiation. The U.N. and South Korea defined the Northern Limits Line (NLL) as the maritime boundary, and North Korea had been quiet about it for over 20 years." while keeping the same reference. I reverted it because I had no way of knowing whether the source really supports the new claim or not.

You appear to be the one that added the source, and it occurred to me it would be easier to defend the current claim if we could verify it. Any chance you might still have access to it? Is it in Korean or English? Any idea if it's available online? Thanks for the help, and for helping make the article in the first place!

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
