Thanks for your note, thats what I thought. It is scenery wise a superb picture but I didn't think it was sharp enough for FA. Just imagine how it would look if taken by a professional photographer with a high quality camera!

Meatpuppet?

Bouncehoper: What the crap is a meatpuppet?

Baegis: A marionette that subsists on a diet solely of meat and its derivatives.

Bouncehoper: ...How is that different than a sockpuppet? (also, makes me hungry....)

Baegis: Sockpuppets, of course, eat cotton products, which are severely lacking in nutrition and deliciousness.

Bouncehoper: How....strange....lol. thanks!

The 25 DYK Medal

The 25 DYK Medal
For your continuous WP:DYK contributions on various topics related to Korea, such as clothing, food, events, places, biographies, etc., I, RyanCross (talk · contribs), hereby award Caspian blue (talk · contribs) The 25 DYK Medal! Great work, and keep up your contributions to DYK! I bet you can get everything that is Korean on the Main Page, you just have to keep at it like you're doing now. Take care, and enjoy this medal from me. :-) – RyanCross (talk) 01:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats Caspian. Perhaps you could expand Heo Nanseolheon I just started and make it no.26? The Bald One White cat 15:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Came across it on my travels, I also have proposed a {{Korea-writer-stub}} as amazingly it didn't exist yet, (I mean how many notable writers could we write about on wikipedia through the entirety of history the mind boggles). Its a shame we can't clone you hundreds of times given the content missing or that needs developing for korea!. Worse even is the coverage of Vietnam and Burma we have on here. I was watching By Any Means (which I am writing week by week on here) last night and he went though Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand which as you know is a part of the world that inspires me and it was just amazing. He rode in a rocket boat down the Mekong for some part which was probably one of the coolest modes of transport I;ve seen. Even the articles on the largest cities in Vietnam are barely beyond stubs. If only we could cover it all in detail like America and the UK and have rleiable and abundant sources to boot. I'm currently stubbing Japanese dams in the hope that they will be translated from Japanese wiki. Hope you are well friend The Bald One White cat 16:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. 95% of the articles we have related to Vietnam above a start class are Vietnam War and likely to be written from an American point of view, however neutral it strives to be. Thats why I use wikipedia to explore places and culture which I don't know about or will never get to see. Sure writing articles about films and local places and that which you are familiar with can be fun, but my overall goal and purpose on wikipedia is to branch out in the "grey areas" of the world from a "western" viewpoint. Given the extreme bias and the ignorance of many to "foreign" places, this is practically anything from Tijuana down to Tierra del Fuego, from Cairo to Walvis Bay, from Ankara eastwards to Tokyo etc. IN places the coverage seems unbelievably developed but browse through most of the categories on locations in Latin America, Africa and Asia and very few of articles on even major towns and cities are of a good standard, let alone 95% of the rest of the country which is "ignored" as of now. The strength of wikipedia really is from the people who live or are aquainted with cultures or places in "other" parts of the world and are able to develop it from their world viewpoint. Given time, I anticipate that people learning English in the developing world who increasingly have access to to computers and the web will begin to appear on increasingly on here. The unfortunate thing is that most people who visit wikipedia use us rather than nurture us, so the bulk of the work is done by a few thousand people. If we could maximise our potential, we'd see things start to change very fast and wikipedia would start growing at a rate which would seem more in keeping with its global reach The Bald One White cat 17:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese shoes

A complicated subject to be sure. This is what I can dig up without too much trouble:

  • 履 lǚ: cloth low-top shoes
  • 屐 bǐng: wood sole shoes, "clogs"
  • 靴 xuē: ankle to knee high boots
  • 屣 xǐ: crappy straw flip-flops
  • 屨 or 屦: straw or vine shoe-like sandals

jianlian (金蓮) is a euphemism for bound-feet the shoes for those feet are call 金蓮履 I'll do something with the hats when there is time. Sjschen (talk) 18:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Empress Myeongseong

I don't really care about our issues on the article in question, I honestly believe that while we might each have different perspectives on the incident, that neither of us are trying to deceive anyone, we just want to emphasize different aspects of the article in different ways.

However, this new edit seems to be very different from anything I have read in the past - is it anywhere near the truth?

Thank you for your message. I deleted the articles you regarded my OR by Administrator. and I deleted the citation from Annals of Gojong, too. I didn't know UNESCO didn't designate it as the master piece unlike other annals. I'm sorry and thank you,Caspian blue.--Bukubku (talk) 03:28, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hello

is operating two accounts called sockpuppeting? Btzkillerv (talk) 20:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have occasionally voted oppose, but I try not to vote too often (where I don't nominate) unless there's a point of order to bring up, e.g. where I feel policy is being misapplied, or in order to speed on things that seem fairly obviously to meet criteria, but which haven't made the quorum after 14 days. As a check, User:MZMcBride - wh I suppose would count as the deputy FSC director if we had proper titles - has agreed to make all judgements on whether things that I have been involved with get promoted or not.

More to the point - I think it's useful to keep standards a bit lower for the moment in order that we can achieve the critical mass that allows us to attract people who are able to raise standards higher. I've looked into the history of other featured content procedures, and it seems that standards will self-correct in time, but all successful Featured content projects had much lower standards at the start than they do now, and I suspect that holding featured sounds to similar levels before we get the talented people we need will only serve to keep featured sounds as a minority featured content process.

Krugman image

My argument overall for images taken from the Princeton Communications Office (see also) is that on the office's site, under a section saying "Policies and restrictions", the only restriction relevant to these images is "Credit must be provided to..." I don't presume that there are double secret restrictions that aren't listed there. In contrast, it does include additional restrictions for certain classes of images: certain buildings and the University symbols. It also indicates a separate section of photos (not the one the Krugman photo et al come from) stated to be "for news media". It also goes on to say that there are other images available (i.e. not online) that do have additional/other restrictions on purpose of use and that do cost money.

I've emailed the PCO a couple of times for the brain-dead sure-fire absoposidefinite answer that a few people have been desirous of, and they have not given me one. - Keith D. Tyler 19:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Improper use of vandal warnings

Do not accuse editors of vandalism simply because you disagree with their edits. This was a totally unacceptable use of a warning template. Please attempt to resolve your differences with other editors in a more constructive manner in future. WJBscribe (talk) 23:08, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quaternionenadler

Thank you for the message you left on my talk page. I would personally love to support the Quaternionenadler to become a FP. I first made the vector image as a 'key' to refer to the picture and the original, and I would hope eventually I could make an imagemap so if you clicked on the shield it would take you to the article for the state. As for the article, I would love to move it into the mainspace; however at the moment it is very Work In Progress, as all the shields need to be identified. If you could help, it would be much appreciated, however if not I would see if I could put a link on the nomination page, and then transfer it in a few days. Some more history of the eagle may be best, as currently the page seems only to glorify my image, but I shall begin researching that soon, I am a bit bogged down at the moment!--23230 talk 16:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From Balloonman: Making it official

and others

  • Finally this one from Ballooman like below.

If you continue with your badgering, I will take this to ANI and ask that they block you. You've been advised by at least three 'crats, 3 admins, and 2 other editors that your behavior is verging on disruption and harassment. Please drop it, or I will take this to ANI.---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 20:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[2][reply]

Hmm, badger, Bullying, WP:Harassment, and WP:Administrators would be good references. Enough is enough. I consider, Wisdom78's advice is worthy to listen to along with Rlevse. Please move on and don't ever come to me for this any more. --Caspian blue (talk) 21:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Sea of Japan naming dispute

Hello Caspian blue, could you please explain your revert here more clearly and deeply? Thank you. --Valentim (talk) 22:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is very simple. The two pictures represents both claims as evidence, and you deleted only one side.--Caspian blue (talk) 22:17, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank your for your response. --Valentim (talk) 22:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'm sorry if I disappointed you. I simply do not understand your claim about the map. I took Kusunose was trying to be neutral by exclude the domestic map made by Korean. If the map should be included in the article, then a domestic map made by Japanese should be included too. I think what is rational is to add a map showing East Sea made by a non-Korean/non-Japanese person. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 05:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict) I basically think the old domestic Korean/Japanese maps are not needed in the article. But if you do not agree. Then revert my edit when possible. You have a right to revert any other editor's edit as I have. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 06:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nihonjoe's abuse of the admin tools: False charge for "3RR on The Sea of Japan naming dispute"

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|I don't exceed 3RR and rather have used discussion pages for my edits. I opened up discussion by myself twice. I only reverted twice for the article in question in 24 hours. However, Nihonjoe falsely accused me for violating 3RR but also blocked me for his mistake. When my edit was reverted, I used relevant talk pages and talked to the users in dispute, but why should I be blocked by the admin? Kusunose (talk · contribs) reverted 3 times in a row, but admin Nihonjoe who has charged for WP:WikiProject Japan and has some multiple issues with me in the past, only blocked for the false charge. My last revert was 6 hours ago, when my last edit (second revert in this 24 hours) was contested, I did not even try to revert the edit by Oda Mari (talk · contribs). I rather waited for her response for her revert. I think Nihonjoe has sought to block me at this time for his issue, so I request for unblock. I don't believe the admin is impartial for Japan-Korea disputes as well as toward me. The admin has falsely accused me of being a somebody's sock without any evidences, so I have protested him for it and everything of our dispute stems from his initial refusal to apologize his accusation made in public and continued insults against me. I have tried to have good faith toward him but he now blocked for the false charge. Please see the diffs and relevant pages provided below. Thank you.--Caspian blue 05:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)}}[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I have reviewed the edits more closely and determined that I was mistaken in seeing the same image being placed and removed four times. I apologize for misreading the edits. I have removed the block.

Request handled by: ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So where is a 3RR violation? The 3rd edit was not even a revert since there is no similar edit for it. Moreover, Nihonjoe falsely accuses my last edit occurred past in 1 day and one hour for my first edit as gaming the system. I don't edit Wikipedia 24 hours a day and examine the time. If the blocking admin wants to block me for edit warring and blatant disregard for consensus, there should be evidences provided by him. Kusunose (talk · contribs) is not blocked by Nihonjoe, so the rationale is not fit to the situation.--Caspian blue 06:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't flatter yourself, Caspian blue. I'm not out to get you. I came upon this article while investigating something different by another user. You reverted the removal/movement of the same content four times within slightly more than 24 hours (a little less than 26 hours to be exact). I think you're a fine editor, and you generally do a lot of good here. However, gaming the system by waiting slightly more than 24 hours to do the fourth edit is not acceptable. As you and Kusunose seem to have a disagreement over the inclusion of (or placement of) this information, you need to work out your differences on the talk page first and then make edits once you come to a consensus. Please note that Kusunose was warned for coming close to violating 3RR in the same article (he only made 3 edits), so I was fair in applying this policy. If this continues on this article, it will likely be protected to prevent anyone from edit warring. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do not insult me as you have done a lot to me like these[3][4][5][6] I made 4 edits in total, and one edit is not even a revert. Moreover, my reverts only constitutes twice in 24 hours. Gaming the system? You falsely said that my last edit was past a day and one hour after my first edit. Your bad faith is toxic. I want you to at least take it to the ANI if you have some conscience. I've sought for consensus, and you blocked me for your issue.--Caspian blue 06:19, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've posted a note on ANI. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have reviewed the edits more closely ad determined that I was mistaken in seeing the same image being placed and removed four times. I apologize for misreading the edits. I have removed the block. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
