That's not indicative of anything. I was simply saying that they were using NPOV to manipulate consensus & "claiming nationality" was one of their way to provide illegitimate litmus test toward an illegitimate NPOV basis. I specifically said (I think in the request for arbitration, not evidence page) that I have no problem with him being Japanese or Korean-hater or anything else. Simply, claiming false nationality for your own POV ends is cheating & I have moral obligation to point that out. |

So, I called someone not Korean & that entails a ban? No. You focus on these trivial things & neglect the larger picture. ([[User:Wikimachine|Wikimachine]] 20:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)) |

I'm concerned about a situation at Mexican-American War over the last few weeks
A look at recent history suggests to my eye (and I assume good faith to my best ability) that one user using multiple socks and IPs is trying to advance a specific agenda relating to naming of this page space. As a watcher community, we've avoided 3RR territory, but I'm wondering how best to deal with this slightly complicated abuse of anonymity (IMHO). BusterD 01:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- The article is currently under an 18 day semiprotect, but this very determined user hasn't let that stop him or her. A user involved early in this dispute bragged about using Tor, and seems to have created a range of sock accounts (the latest being "Ghost account 1"), so it's getting ridiculous. I know disputes get worse than this (3rd US Inf Reg, for ex.), but I loathe to believe this fellow thinks he's getting away with something. BusterD 14:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've done the tracking. He's now switched to using sock accounts, but I have seen at least three registered accounts (two blocked but I suspect more), and between 20-25 ips (some of which have been identified and blocked as TOR, some of which don't seem to do, and others which seem to be TOR but haven't yet been blocked as such).

A class reviews
Hello. Since the military history project seems to be one of the few that offers an A-class review I was wondering, do you think any of the battle articles related to Black Hawk War are ready for such a review. I have been working on this topic for months, and several of the articles have been promoted to GA. My ultimate goal is to get the main article to FA and then submit them all for a featured topic. Eventually, I would like to see all of the articles featured and I figured an A-class review was probably the next logical step in the quest for collaboration, feedback and improvement. Any thoughts on the articles would be greatly appreciated. IvoShandor 05:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Is the location of its use a big deal? IvoShandor 04:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- I can go with that. Is there any easy way to the conversion? IvoShandor 04:44, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- That looks good to me, we might make a few little tweaks. Thanks for your help once again. IvoShandor 04:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Requests for arbitration/Digwuren
Hi! Is it possible to clarify by the arbcom's decision whether Soviet and Russian sources appropriate for Wikipedia or not. I ask this because I several times saw statements (like this [1] for example) by other Wikipedia users that those sources are inappropriate because of democracy issues in those countries. I see this as rejection of sources by political reasons. So I ask to clarify this if possible.--Dojarca 00:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Your vote @ Liancourt Rocks to ban me
Hey Kirill, the proposal & your "support" surprise me. So if you think I'm a disruptive editor (if I were to concede that whatever you perceive as disruptive are so & my fault), shouldn't my "good edits" still outweigh? For example, Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598). I'm trying to get that to featured status. Why trash a half-bad apple? Cut the bad side off & eat the good side. In other words, the worst I thought arbs could impose was to prevent me from engaging in edits in Liancourt Rocks. (Wikimachine 00:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC))
Thanks for replying.
Your rationale for the question above is not comprehensive. I don't think my actions entail a ban from East Asia-related articles, and even my actions @ Liancourt Rocks, at best, haven't crossed the line; to translate that somehow into a complete ban is ...
For some reasons, you failed to note Opp2 (w/ very strong ev. of sock puppetry) + others. Even then, Good friend100 & I, on almost all other disputes, have taken similar stances. I'm wondering how you could have made the right calculation & analysis w/o having targeted the worst ones first? When the situation is much more complicated than one caused by a single editor, your proposal is unrealistic.
About the "Us vs. They" ideology, I think that you simply glanced over stuffs w/o making serious efforts to read the content. I could make list of all the disputes I've taken side on in the last 1 year & the reasons behind them. There is no reason to emphasize the risk that I'm pushing the" us vs. them" all by myself (or even amongst others). Simply, those disputes were ridiculous & POVish, and I just took side as any common sensed individual would have. If I were ever mentioning ppl by "CPOV" "JPOV" and "KPOV", I've put nota bene: "this is out of convenience". My edits at Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598) prove; I'm neutral. The only risk for provocation & POV lies in editors other than me.
Thanks. (Wikimachine 03:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC))

Request - Red Army
Hi Kirill, user:Miyokan moved few weeks ago the Red Army article to Soviet Army. In my opinion, that would be wrong, as the Army of the Soviet Union had the official designation "Red Army". The most common and often used designation for it, is also "Red Army", so I consider this renaming quite innapropiate. Could you please use your admin tools and revert this? P.S. I also consulted user:Buckshot06 on this - which is a truely expert in Military of the Soviet Union topics - and he shared my opinion. Best regards, --Eurocopter tigre 15:35, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Nice to hear I'm well thought of! I have another move request which looks like it will need your admin tools. Light Horse is exclusively about the Australian Light Horse, and should be at that page(which currently is a redirect back to the first one!).
But I can't move it there for some reason. Would you mind doing so? Buckshot06 17:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Does this image Image:Thistlegorm train parts minus red edit.jpg, fall under the WP:MILHIST project. The SS Thistlegorm was a transport and supply ship sunk by the Germans in the Second World War. It was carrying tanks, rifles, trains etc when it sank. I think it does, i'm not sure though, so thought i would ask you. By the way, the image is not actually of train parts, it is some sort of winch despite its name. If i remember rightly the wheels were connected to the trains! There is currently no way of moving to new image names at Commons so it will do for the moment. Thoughts? Woodym555 16:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
