Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello, Room218, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world. To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has over one million articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.

If you need help see:

Help contents - the main help page.
Cheatsheet - a listing of the main editing commands.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Thanks for your work on maintaining and stabilizing a number of Korea-related articles. Perhaps you would like to join the Korea WikiProject, where you can coordinate with editors who share your interest in Korea-related topics. On a side note, you have been doing a lot of reverting; it is always a good idea assume good faith and explain in detail why you disagree with a particular edit. Again, welcome!

Multiple edits on Korea

Hi Room218, Please be sure to follow WP:3RR, the three-revert rule. I don't think you have violated it, I'm just writing to make sure you're aware of the policy. --Reuben 20:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah just take a look at the asinine Japanese vandalism in those edit histories. Why don't you complain about them? Room218 05:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From Japanese's point of view, you are vandalizing too. evenmore ruder. --Ypacaraí 06:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, they also look like meaty, though your avoidance using IP socks are apparent and your reverts are mostly done without discussion. --Jjok 06:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I didn't take the time to login, and the vandals surely didn't login. And their socks certainly reverted without any discussion consensus. What's your point? That the vandalism started by Japanese nationalists is fine, but reverting it is wrong? Do you care about Wikipedia's integrity, or just your point of view? Room218 06:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Room218, I'm not sure why users are addressing messages to me on your talk page. I won't respond to them, since this is your talk page, not mine. In any case, I'm not an admin, so all I can do is make sure people know the policy and encourage them to follow it. Here goes: even when others are blatantly edit warring and violating WP:3RR, don't do it yourself. It will only get you blocked (and frustrated). In particular, using IP addresses does look bad, since it can appear that it's intended to hide 3RR violations. I appreciate that the edits you're reverting are usually pushing a POV and often bordering on vandalism, but even so - reverting more times won't help. It will only make the edit wars go faster. So keep on editing, but please stick to the rules. Thanks. --Reuben 06:39, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Reuben for the helpful advice. I'll try to remember to login every time, and be more constructive by adding proper citations. It's obvious one group of people just don't know or care about the rules, but I guess it just takes more people to monitor these amateur historians. Room218 06:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! You can also use Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR (aka WP:AN/3RR), Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (aka WP:AN/I), or individual administrators' talk pages to ask for help. I am at a bit of a loss myself regarding the repeat IP address editor(s), but they typically get bored after a while and go away.

~~Actually, I see you have already found WP:AN/3RR and put it to good use~~. Whoops, I misread that. Anyway, now you know it's there. --Reuben 07:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Korean-Japanese disputes

Thanks for the note. It does look like it could be the same anonymous friend from other articles. I think semi-protecting might be a good idea for that article too. You might also leave a note for Nihonjoe. He might be able to help with protection or semi-protection, or at least suggest some helpful ideas. --Reuben 10:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Nice to meet you. I just see your help requesting in Korea Wiki project.
I have examined the articles what you have mentioned, and it is hard for me to find what exactly the editing wars. Can you explain it? --Hairwizard91 15:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Housekeeping

Hi Room218,

Thanks for joining WikiProject Korea. It's great to have you aboard! Since you expressed an interest in "maintenance," I wonder if you might be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Housekeeping. The basic idea is to sweep through all the articles in a category (or list), clean up & wikify them to certain standards, and mark the cat/list with {{Korea Housekeeping}}. Don't know if that would appeal to you or not, but please feel free to join if it does, and suggest any changes to the "Tasks" that might seem appropriate. -- Visviva 23:39, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Korean Spamers

Please explain the reason why the Soga clan is Korean. You have a lot of questions. Please come for the discussion. ((Kofun Period))--218.218.129.57 19:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please show the your knowledge of Japanese history. South Korea will lower the evaluation again by your Spam. --61.209.161.196 22:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

invitation

Hi I'm willing to act as a mediator to your discussions with User:NekoNekoTeacher about article content, what I suggest is an informal approach utilising a user subpage say User:Gnangarra/Kofun disputed content. we can create a similar page for each article.
