In accordance with [[WP:NC-TW]], I've had to revert all of your edits (and those of your puppets) that change <nowiki>[[People's Republic of China]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[People's Republic of China|China]]</nowiki>.

:Why all of them? I do implement a reasonable and neutral point of view when editing China-related articles. If the articles are relating to Chinese history, that is, before and including the [[Qing Dynasty]], I'd use <nowiki>[[China]]</nowiki>. See [[Tai people]] for example, I use <nowiki>China</nowiki> when talking about the Tai people were originated from China in the [[Qing Dynasty]]. I use <nowiki>[[People's Republic of China|China]]</nowiki> when talking about regions with significant Tai populations because they are meant to be the current political entities. I use <nowiki>[[Republic of China]]</nowiki> when talking about events relating to the current Republic of China (aka Taiwan) or China from 1912 to 1949. |

:As I've said before, I got an unfair ban. I really can't edit as IP users because all the computers in my [[TAFE]] got blocked by Wiki until 2012 and I can't register as a new user neither. The room I am renting near my TAFE doesn't have internet access, that's why you won't see me editing during night time (my time). I really don't know what has happened until I saw the investigation report. It was Chipmunkdavis, who has taken a personal confrontation attitude towards me tried his best in banning me. What he has done is linking someone (start with the letter Z, I can't even spell his name) to an IP user (which could be Mr. Z) and then link that IP user to another IP user (because both IP users edit basketball articles), then link that 2nd IP user to me (because we both using a similar style of coding) and I can't believe that some admins actually rationalised Chipmunkdavis' attempt to link someone who has different interests and a totally different coding style with me to ban me (he really can't think of another way to get me banned because I've always edited with good faith). If I were an admin, Chipmunkdavis's request will be rejected due to his questionable motivation. |

:I really can't explain why Mr. Z posted a warning which is similar to Sean.hoyland's comment on my talk page. The only would-be scenario I could think of is that Mr. Z is the same type of person as Chipmunkdavis, who likes to spy on other people. That is, reading other people's contributions or talk pages. He spyed on Chipmunkdavis after having a personal confrontation with him, when he tries to post a warning on someone's talk page he just copy and pastes something from the page he was spying on (in this case, my talk page) to save time in typing. Unfortunately for me, my talk page is an open source, I really can't stop someone copying something from my talk page. I have to congratulate Chipmunkdavis for spending a sh!tload of time spying around the web just to grab an opportunity to ban me (he knows all too well this is the only chance he can make me banned). In real life, I will fight but Wiki is only part of the cyberworld, so I've decided to let go of this incident so no one else needs to get involved in this matter any more. |

:In the future, I hope you can take a more respectful manner when dealing with editors who always edit with good faith. It would be nice if you could discuss with me in my talk page first, that way you can prevent the possibility of messing up a good work. I am always happy to listen to other people and correct my edits if they are wrong. Currently, Chipmunkdavis is the only Wiki user '''unwelcomed''' in my talk page because he has raised his attitude towards me from discussion to personal confrontation level which is really unacceptable and disgusting. I believe total ignoring is the best answer to a troller. From now on, all the comments make by Chipmunkdavis on my talk page will be ignored. Okay, it's time for me to go home now. I guarantee that you won't see me editing untill at least tommorrow. [[User:2sc945|2sc945]] ([[User talk:2sc945#top|talk]]) 11:21, 23 May 2011 (UTC) |

June 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page FFA has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Becky Sayles (talk) 12:08, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Windsor Castle. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:45, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
Wikiwelcome
Welcome!
Hello, 2sc945, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome!
In regards to talkpages, please place all new sections on the bottom of the talkpages, for chronological reasons. I see you had a rocky start on the wiki, but I think if you learn to discuss these problems will not arise. Regards, Chipmunkdavis (talk) 01:42, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Coding
It's useless and pointless to change things like "[[East Africa]]ns" to "[[East Africa|East Africans]]", as they both produce the same result, East Africans and East Africans. It does however creates a small amount more bytes of information, which over a whole article can add up. In other words, it's probably detrimental to make changes like that for users with slow internet speed. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
- I was just coming here to say the same thing. Nightw 17:29, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- It seems like quite a few of your edits have caused other editors to post warnings on your talk page. Please remember that, ideally, you should familiarise yourself with editing guidelines as soon as possible. Start with the links in the greeting message posted in the thread below. If you're new to editing on here, you'll get less of a harsh response from other editors by identifying when you've made a mistake, and trying to learn from them. Follow a BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. If you don't understand why you're edit has been reverted, go to the article's talk page or contact the user directly to pose the question. Repeating the edit over and over will get you those "edit warring" warnings like the one at the top, which will eventually end in a block of your account if you persist. Nightw 18:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- Well, compare to the contributions I made, especially in those basketball-related articles, what did I do wrong to deserve a block in Wiki? I mean, WTH is the difference between "[[East Africa]]ns" and "[[East Africa|East Africans]]"? Willl they make any real difference? It's just different ways of coding, some people prefer method A, some don't. Honestly, some people in this site need to get over their life. If they want to be real contributors, please spend some time to write some quality articles. If they can't write, try to partrol the site and chase down some of the real vandalists instead of spying or stalking other proper users and making hundreds of small reverts (most of them nonsense) per day without making any meaningful contributions. If I do get blocked because I write [[East Africa|East Africans]], it will be the Wiki's loss, not my loss. Cheers, 2sc945 (talk) 23:31, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
- "It's just different ways of coding ... If they want to be real contributors, please spend some time to write some quality articles." Don't you think your advice applies more to you than anyone you might be directing it toward? ...You being the one that's making random changes to other people's style of editing...? As Chip said, a shortened markup saves kilobytes, which helps people with slow download speeds. It's not a personal preference, but a community one: "Given the option to pipe a link or to 'blend' an affix, preferred style is to use a blended affix. Write simply [[Public transport]]ation instead of complicated [[Public transport|Public transportation]]."
- All I'm saying is that when you come into a community without accepting its guidelines, you're bound to get backlash—it shouldn't come as a surprise. And it's not your editing style that will get you blocked, as I said, it's edit warring (repeating the same edit over and over after repeatedly being reverted by other editors), as you've been doing on this page, for example. Nightw 05:30, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- First of all, the so-called [[Public transport]]ation will save kilobytes is purely bull crap, stop treating other people like they are all idiots. Who invented all this crap? I can't believe that there are people who actually believe this kind of nonsense. If my style of coding is harmful to the system, I will stop, but it's not. So I won't care, I will continue coding with my style, you are welcomed to revert every link of mine if you really feel there's nothing better to do in life. I normally won't bother to revert them back but will do so if I am feeling unhappy.
- As for the edit war thing, why should I get blocked first? It wasn't me who started all these crap. Since both codings made the same effects don't you think it's the one who started the revertings should get blocked first? Geez, as I said before, I won't bother to revert everything I wrote cause I don't have time for this stupidity, but I can't guarantee I won't revert some of them for venting. End of discussion. 2sc945 (talk) 07:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Just trying to make sure you understood why you were getting all of these warnings and reverts. I'll back off, but please cut the tantrum editing. Nightw 08:57, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- ...Bored people who got bored of bored people making minor coding changes to their work... Nightw 09:18, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
<- 2sc945, please stop. Have a break. Do some different kinds of edits for a while. You will get yourself blocked if you carry on like this. Sean.hoyland - talk 09:24, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Are you serious? Are you saying that I will get blocked for writing "[[East Africa|East Africans]]"? Come on man, if you want to get respect from other people you should respect them first. I didn't get the respect I deserve here, I got forced by some people to follow some stupid rules such as you have to write "[[East Africa]]ns" instead of [[East Africa|East Africans]]" for the sake of so-called saving kilobytes. WTF? So, does that means we have to change all the United States, United Kingdoms and New Zealands to US, UK and NZ respectively to save the kilobytes? Jesus, if you like to write "[[East Africa]]ns", go head, I don't mind cause it's not my business. Why on bloody Earth searching around the web and pick someone like me who enjoys another style of coding and spying and then stalking me by modifying every link I wrote? This is so disgusting, those people really need to get over their life. We're living in a diverse world, nobody is the same, we need to learn how to cope with that and respect that. Do not trying to enforce other people to follow silly rules that you believe have a meaning, but do not make sense to the others. Thank you.
- P.S. I noticed that the guy who started all of this crap has already shut his mouth up since I brought in a strong counter argument. 2sc945 (talk) 04:22, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm serious because you've edit warred over things that don't matter. You've introduced whitespace etc and then edit warred over it. Please just see this as friendly advice. I'm not criticizing you, I'm just trying to make sure you don't get yourself into trouble over things that aren't important. Why have I picked on you ? Because I can see that you are trying to make useful contributions, fix things, make things better in your view but you aren't quite going about it the best way because you are coming into conflict and not handling the conflict very well. Don't worry about it. Sean.hoyland - talk 04:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- I haven't seen a strong counterargument, but have decided to let you take the advice of Sean Hoyland. No matter what, edit warring is wrong, and you will be sanctioned for it. WP:3RR is a good thing to look over, although even less than 3 reverts if disruptive can result in a block. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 08:34, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- I can't believe you guys are still going at it. The reason there were edit conflicts is simply because some of you cannot accept different ways of doing things. As I said before, it wasn't me who started all these nonsense. I normally won't bother to revert them back but I just can't absolutely guarantee that I won't do anything if they are doing this way over the line.
- As for Chip, maybe you couldn't see a strong counter argument from me but so far I can't even see a point from you. If you want me to follow your way of doing things you need to convince me with some strong evidences, not bullcraps that come straight out of the mouth. So far you've just been barking mad at me and trying to scare me off like I were a 3 year old kid. How can you rape someone and still order her to shut her mouth up??? Do you really think you can stop her? I tell you what, the only way to stop her is to kill her. To be honest, I ain't afraid of people like you. I don't care how high your level are in Wiki, cause this is the cyber world, being a higher level administraor or moderator here doesn't necessary mean you are successful in real life. Sometimes, people who struggle in real life tend to spend a sh!tload of time on the internet to get some sort of recognitions that they don't have in real life. Since you brought in that WP:3RR rule (which I think it is a good rule), I will tell you my WP:3RR rule:
- From now on I will be checking my contribution history constantly. If I saw someone who spying and stalking me around the web and did 3 or more meaningless revertings within 24 hours (a reverting of "[[East Africa|East Africans]]" to "[[East Africa]]ns" will count as one meaningless reverting), I will start going at it. If he is a high level administrator and inappropriately uses his power to block me, LET IT BE. I quit this immoral site once for all.
- Great. Looking forward to it. Nightw 18:08, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. — Fourthords | =/\= | 05:24, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Editing other editors' user pages
In view of the above discussion, I can only assume that this edit was an attempt to make a point. It is not considered appropriate behavior to modify other editors' user pages unless there are really compelling reasons to do so, like copyright violations, advertisements or personal attacks. Please don't do this again. Favonian (talk) 08:55, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Final warning
In spite of the above message, you chose to do this. For the last time, do not make WP:POINTy edits to other editors' user pages. If you do so again, you will be blocked from editing. Favonian (talk) 08:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Formatting
I am not going to edit-war over this, but please understand, that per WP:MOS policies, compact wikilinks are built in all our bots, such as WP:AWB, thus fighting it is literally the same as fighting windmills. Sooner or later some bot will revert your changes (as part of routine site maintenance), wasting your time and nerves. It would be more productive if you focused on content rather than formatting. Materialscientist (talk) 01:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Blocked
I don't know what the HELL are you talking about.
Since I wasn't online during the period you have blocked me, it didn't really annoyed me that much.
Just want to tell you that, I am a polytech student, the comp here are all PUBLIC. Almost every time I have to log in to edit because the computers here are almost always blocked by Wiki due to constant vandalism. In fact, the computer I am using right now just got its ban (by Materialscientist) lifted yesterday I think. 2sc945 (talk) 03:28, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
China names
In accordance with WP:NC-TW, I've had to revert all of your edits (and those of your puppets) that change [[People's Republic of China]] to [[People's Republic of China|China]]. Apologies for the inconvenience! Night w2 (talk) 09:42, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Why all of them? I do implement a reasonable and neutral point of view when editing China-related articles. If the articles are relating to Chinese history, that is, before and including the Qing Dynasty, I'd use [[China]]. See Tai people for example, I use China when talking about the Tai people were originated from China in the Qing Dynasty. I use [[People's Republic of China|China]] when talking about regions with significant Tai populations because they are meant to be the current political entities. I use [[Republic of China]] when talking about events relating to the current Republic of China (aka Taiwan) or China from 1912 to 1949.
- As I've said before, I got an unfair ban. I really can't edit as IP users because all the computers in my TAFE got blocked by Wiki until 2012 and I can't register as a new user neither.
