![]() | Welcome to CMBJ's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply. |

I moved your comment to the talk page, as it wasn't really a discussion on the KotH's notability. I invite you to comment there. If you feel that it should be on the actual review page, you may revert it, but I felt it was more a discussion on the process itself. Thanks. I (said) (did) 00:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
(Edit Conflict)Hey CMBJ, I've seen your recent edits to the television episode article review project and I certainly understand how you feel. My pet project Futurama will likely come up for review in the next week or so and like you I feel the way the project has been handled so far has been less than stellar. That being said, I don't think they're targeting KOTH, it just happened to be one at the top of the list when they got started. Some episodes of other shows have already been reviewed if you look in the archive at the top (The Big O, Hannah Montana and Thats So Raven). If you check the discussion on the talk page the reason for bringing up the rest of the KOTH articles so soon was to go ahead and finish out one group before starting on another, not because it was any worse than any other show. I'd be happy to help you try to bring some episodes up to the guideline (once I've seen how the Futurama review goes) just let me know if I can help, I'd recommend starting with any that received more than the usual coverage in outside sources or received awards.

An editor has nominated Jim Neuhaus, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jim Neuhaus and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 17:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Image:Autograf, Martin Luther, Nordisk familjebok.png, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Image:Autograf, Martin Luther, Nordisk familjebok.png is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Image:Autograf, Martin Luther, Nordisk familjebok.png, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the

Hi, I looked over the contribs and do see vandalism appearing all over the place. However, the vandalism comes in too sporadically to consider giving this IP a block/soft block. Blocks are meant to be preventive and not punitive. If this IP's vandalism starts come in more heavily consider warning them with the appropriate {{
uw-vandalism1}}
-{{
uw-vandalism4}}
series and reporting them to
WP:AIV if they vandalize after a fourth warning is given. Usually we block IPs based on 4+ vandal edits in the past 48 hours or a rather heavy period of vandalism within the past week and up the durations of the blocks based on the IP's block log. Hope all this info answers some of your concerns :).

The tag you applied is inappropriate because it tags the whole article as needing citations. Since the article is already cited in many parts, please tag the sections or specific facts you feel need citations with either a {{CN}} or {{unreferencedsection}}. -- Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 00:47, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Memristor.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Megapixie ( talk) 06:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi CMBJ
Thanks for the welcome you left on my 'talk' page. It's certainly interesting to take part in Wikipedia. As a contributor rather than a reader, I'm a newby with only one account. The only things I've contributed in the past have been a couple of typo corrections, made anonymously on pages I no longer remember. But in terms of technical writing, I do have some experience.
I would also not want to hide that I have an agenda... quite a long one, most likely, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered involving myself. In terms of topics on China, my programming team and some of my dearest friends are in China, and I owe them my allegiance. However, my best service to them is by serving fairness and truth, which must also be my best service to Wikipedia. The page on which I tried to offer constructive comment is not currently a page that gives any particular credit to the Wikipedia institution. It breaks nearly all of the submission guidelines, and in structure it is not a helpful component to which other articles can usefully link.
Anyway, I think it is a major challenge for irregular encyclopaedists to write emotionless, accurate and pithy summaries, ruthlessly self-edited to sit within those boundaries: they are not easy skills to master. So just for the moment, I'm going to keep to the role of providing constructive comment, and hopefully that will be judged on its merits and in accord with the submission guidelines. We'll see what happens. If I find that I'm wasting my time, there are lots of worthwhile things to do. (^_^) All the best, CMBJ! Tsuchan ( talk) 16:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:YouTube - Playback.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

Oh, back in September 2008, on my talk page, you asked "Are you still interested in collaborating to improve Concerns and controversies over the 2008 Summer Olympics?"
Actually this is the first time I've logged-in to Wikipedia since your message, because I've been busy with work, leisure and other commitments. I have to admit, I found that working on this page was just too expensive in time - I'm sure that works of great benefit to mankind have been researched, written, proofed and published in the collaborative time spent on this page; so I took the Wiki advice to consider having another look in a few months. (Hehe, I don't think it's been enough months yet... I was just "passing through" on this occasion.) Good luck and all the best! Tsuchan ( talk) 04:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that the introduction to the LTTE has been changed with the words terrorist organisation being changed. The fact is that the LTTE is listed as a terrorist organisation by 32 countries including the EU, has assasinated two world leaders and pioneered suicide bombing. Its suicide bombers have killed more people that al-qaeda etc combined, please see the article for more info. Hence it is valid to list it as a terrorist organisation, and the lead in was arrived as a result of mediation from the Sri Lanka wiki reconciliation project. I have reverted your edits, if you feel that it is inapropriate please feel free to discuss on the wiki project. Thanks. Kerr avon ( talk) 00:30, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Central Texas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.— Danorton ( talk) 00:10, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I think you were wrong to start this as a separate article. It would only be justifiable if the main carisoprodol article had become way too long, which is certainly not the case. Carisoprodol is certainly addictive and almost by definition addictive substances have withdrawal syndromes. To leave it as a separate article, however, places undue weight and will probably lead to hyperbolic editing and even discourage people from getting off of it when they need to. Please consider just getting rid of it and adding your references to the main article. Rose bartram ( talk) 21:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Greetings, CMBJ. You appear to have moved (renamed) Right- and left-hand traffic unilaterally, without any discussion or effort to determine and/or build consensus for such a move. As I'm sure you know, Wikipedia is a consensus-based project; unilateral moves like this are generally not in accord with the philosophy and structure upon which Wikipedia is based. The present title is the result of extensive discussion and consensus-building, as you'll see if you peruse the article's talk page and its archives of past discussion (always a good idea before proposing an article move). Of course, consensus is not immutable; it's possible consensus might exist or develop for your proposed title. However, proposing the move and discussing it is a necessary first step in the process. — Scheinwerfermann T· C 02:04, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't have any major objection to this move, however please be mindful of the distinction between a theory and a concept within the category structure. In various cases it is preferable to have an article for one or the other or both depending on the concepts involved. Also, for instance, it is usually preferred to have an "ism" article focused on a theory rather than an "ist" article focused on a person or persons. Greg Bard 23:21, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

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, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes 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. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 ( talk) 12:20, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop you a relatively meaningless note and say how much I appreciate your level-headed, rational responses to my arguments on this AfD. I play in AfD quite a bit and it's nothing shy of a pleasure to run into the rare person, such as yourself, that I'm able to have a truly respectful disagreement with. It's clear that this article is heading towards a resounding Keep, either way, and, as I just noted in the AfD, I'm not at all upset about that -- and a small part of that is due to your level-headedness.

Thanks for uploading File:SpywareProtect09block.PNG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Hi CMBJ,
You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.
Thank you.

“U.S. Congress” is preferred in running text. I think “United States Congress” is more likely to be used in stand-alone phrases (like document titles).

You left me a message on my talk page
I think I've stated my opinion but may have put it in the wrong spot. Having two options "full" and "partial" blackout and giving each of them an agree and disagree section left me wondering where to put my opinions.
In 3.2.1 I stated that I prefer a global blackout and in 3.3.2.2 I state:
So that says I prefer a global, soft blackout. Do I need to update anything or is that enough?
While I have you... I hope that this vote is not the sole means of determining what will be done. There is popular support for a full blackout but I think that people are getting caught up in SOPA-fever and seriously underestimating the seriousness of a full blackout.
I think a full blackout of the wikipedia will be more newsworthy than why it had the blackout. I also think that people will love to claim that they helped bring about the full blackout. It will give them a claim to fame. Just as in the 70's and 80's it was cool to say you were at Woodstock, people seem to envision that in the 2010's it will be cool to say you contributed to the full blackout of the Wikipedia.
But I think nobody will admit it after it happens. While I am against government regulation, I view the Wikipedia as a public utility. You simply can't blackout unless they give you no other options. Considering that SOPA is looking like a dead-man-walking, I think that a full blackout is premature. The ball is already rolling and, IMO, a soft blackout should be enough to keep it rolling.
If I thought SOPA was going to pass, I would definitely favor a full blackout. If SOPA/PIPA actually passed in one of the houses of congress, I would consider a full blackout for the duration.
I don't think SOPA is something to be ignored (see my most recent blog post about it), but one must be careful that attempts to prevent SOPA can be more destructive than whatever, if anything, is likely to pass Congress.
Neil Smithline ( talk) 23:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Support SOPA has the potential to negatively affect major international events such as the recent Arab Spring. As such, SOPA is clearly a move against worldwide free speech. While only Americans can vote for Congressmen directly, anyone with money can support organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Being SOPA will affect the entire world and the entire world can take action, it seems to follow that the entire world should see the blackout. Neil Smithline ( talk) 20:04, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Blackout
Consensus appears to be emerging that the community wishes to blackout the site using a click-through process, which would present the following work-flow: when a user attempts to access the English Wikipedia for the first time on the designated date(s), they are presented with a notice describing the SOPA threat and suggesting that they take action (see below, section “What action should users take?”). They then have the option to “click-through” the screen. Once they’ve clicked through, everything is normal: no content is removed or obscured, and normal editing applies. In addition, all users of the English Wikipedia would see banners at the top of each page with informational text that will include a call to action: links to locate contact information for local congressional delegations (if the user is in the United States) or U.S. embassies (if the user is outside the United States). The banners should be dismissable, as with the fundraising banners. Geo-located banners will continue to run for two weeks after the blackout period. The Wikimedia Foundation would develop technology necessary to implement this.Hey CMBJ, we have all the data now. No need to ask the community to add more. Thanks!

Perhaps, but at least in the US the OSM data is mostly a direct copy of the Census Bureau's TIGER data, which already exists in shapefile form anyway. However, someone in one of the Proposal 9 discussion threads mentioned KML, and I think that idea might be the big winner here—KML looks like it'll fulfill our needs while being more easily parsable than shapefiles and human editable. — Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 05:41, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm uninvolved with whatever quarrel is going on over the article currently at Action of 25 January 2012, but the absurdity of this title has come up in at least two discrete ITN discussions. Would you mind at least giving it some vaguely identifiable name until those warring can work out their differences?

A tag has been placed on File:ACTA protest by members of the Polish parliament.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{ non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, CMBJ. Re this, I don't think it would be unreasonable or inane either, but I suspect it would be a colossal waste of time and energy. My guess is that per item 1 of Scope and responsibilities they wouldn't accept the case, since there has been no explicit allegation of misconduct, let alone any community attempt (failed or otherwise) at resolving one, and in the unlikely event they did accept the case, I suspect the outcome wouldn't satisfy anyone who has opposed PC. In the meantime, the proceedings would be a major distraction to editors (like you) whose input over the next several months could be invaluable to implementing some version of PC that causes minimal disruption to us all. I could be wrong, of course, but that's the way I see it. Fwiw, I have considerable respect for the two closers with which I had any prior familiarity, so I was not only disappointed in the decision itself but baffled at the sloppy explanation provided to justify it.

Utterly fantastic job on IBT Labs page. You're the Mark Knophler of Wikipedia. Looking at the page after my edits I am proud to have contributed to this page even a little. You've set the groundwork for an even more thorough telling of the story, which is well documented by writers whose work will be raised from obscurity. In the annals of chemical history, this piece is standout, even among the work I have read of top plaintiffs' council. By the way there may be some great stuff in Rachel's Hazardous Waste News -- reams of environmental history published over 25 years in this thing called the RACHEL database, all of it footnoted. You will find a treasure trove in there, and I think there could be an article on litigation called Kemner v. Monsanto, which really brought out a depth of understanding about the history of Monsanto and its dioxin problem (including falsified cancer studies, well documented).
In any event, CMBJ -- you have me fired up, and I am inspired by your talent and dedication. e Dioxinfreak ( talk) 03:28, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

What do you think? Jytdog ( talk) 15:26, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
hi quick note
you added to the Monsanto article In 1991, Philip Smith testified during a court case against Monsanto that he observed falsification of safety data for its products while employed at Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories, a contract research organization. [3]
2 questions: 1) Do you have the article? Would love to see it -- I went and looking and could not find it 2) What is that court case? I am guessing it is the case referenced directly above the place where you added this (the St-Louis area dioxin case). But without referencing a specific case this is kind of a bizarre statement to leave hanging.
I had considered adding something about the Industrial Bio-test litigation under "other legal matters." Like the fox TV case, Monsanto was not a party to the IBT litigation but was involved. If your goal here is to get something on the Monsanto page about the Industrial Bio-test labs matter, I think that would be a more straightforward way to do that. How about if I do that and remove the free-floating thing above? Jytdog ( talk) 16:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey CMBJ, I know I'm guilty of this sometimes too, but can I ask that you use the "preview button" a little more. It's not that great of an issue (and I edit my own comments as well), but after seeing this and trying to navigate through page histories to find old discussions and stuff, it's kind of difficult with the multiple minor repetitive edits. It's minor edits like this, this, and this that really jam up the history and can make it appear that you're just trying to rack up edits. I understand having a clear message that says what you want it to is important, but it's just the sheer amount of these edits makes following along on the history part of the page more difficult.

Greetings! I saw your post at the merge discussion and noticed that you've been active in the TPL page in the past. Wondering if you can answer a simple question which I'm struggling to answer on my own. Does TPL still exist as a currently functioning entity? I'm asking because there's a lot of material in the TPL article written in the present tense that I suspect should be converted to past tense (e.g. 24/7 staffing, honor system, weekly poetry readings, etc.). I live in NYC and am unaware of these activities continuing, but I was never that close to OWS so it's entirely possible that I'm simply unaware. I understand that it's possible TPL lives on in some form or another, but I wonder if some of these more practical pieces are still taking place. (And please note, whether all of this is in the present or the past has absolutely no bearing on the merge discussion, in my opinion) Do you have any idea?

From all these pictures, I think the following one: Commons:File:Grotte Saint Marcel bassins.jpeg would have been also in my top 3, because the way this cave is lightnened and the contrast between the stone and the water make it a very, very good picture.

Hey CMBJ.

At the moment, we're talking about several weeks of wait, I'm afraid - although the fix itself is not complex, it's dependent on Platform freeing up time to make and deploy it, and they're currently rather busy.

Hi CMBJ!
I removed your file from
Generic drug because it does not reflect the time course of plasma concentrations. Unfortunately the same is true for your source. FDA amazes me sometimes. Please edit the file (i.e., the x-axis should be a true time scale, not simply equidistant). Don’t drop the data points > 24 hours – continue the plot until 96 hours. It is quite unusual to have the axes' labels inside the plotting area. I would suggest to move them left/below the axes. If you want to bring it back to the article, I want to suggest the section "Quality standards" rather than "Efficacy" (which is not assessed in
bioequivalence).

No, clearly not. But nor do editors get a free pass just because their edit counts have a certain number of digits. It's much more complex than that, as you well know - that's the whole point of the discussion. In the context of workplace hostility, it is not always the supervisor/authority figure who creates the hostile environment - it is sometimes the employee/supervised person. But in the context of Wikipedia, the community has in the past determined that the problems caused by some editors outweigh the benefits of their content work - and that factors as well. It's an incredibly complex discussion with passionate viewpoints on multiple sides, and probably would have been a good place for me to keep my goddamned mouth shut. But it is what it is. Meant no offense to anyone or their defenders. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 16:34, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

hi CMBJ :)
No, you didn't upset me. And "my" country happens to be the US. The my is in quotes because it most certainly is not the US I grew up in. My parents and all my friends' parents were in WW II, they most certainly did *NOT* fight and die to have their country become a subtle clone of Nazi Germany. The news is what upsets me. If I were smart I would not read it :)
If I came actross as too vehement I apologize personally to you but not to the general public. They seriously need their rears kicked. Hard.
Not that it woud help. I think the country is toast.
Can I ask what CMBJ stands for or is that too personal ? I'm addicted to riddles :)
Hope you feel better soon ...

Hey CMBJ
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to

edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on
my operator's talk page.

Hi. I didn't look at the article's history until after I posted my initial comment at WT:MED. Had I realised you were involved and had done the merge, I would have brought it up with you first.

Hi there, CMBJ. I was trying to organize the categories about graphics software, and came across the categories biovisualization software and bioimaging software. Since the biovisualization article doesn't exist, I'm curious to know, what exactly is the difference between the two? And if bioimaging software is indeed a subcategory of biovisualization software, then shouldn't free bioimaging software be a subcategory of free biovisualization software as well? Looking forward to be enlightened :) Cheers, Waldir talk 00:57, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on List of people from San Marcos, Texas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Mr. Guye ( talk) 18:27, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Just happened to come across my Wikipdia Talk page, with a message thread you left in 2008. I'd not seen that before. I basically gave up the idea of a contributory role in Wikipedia after the experience of that article. I've made the odd correction to a page since, that's all. Some great accomplishments have been made in Wikipedia, but my experience was not positive, so I found other things to do. When people discuss about Wikipedia, I sometimes share my small experience. The Beijing Olympics stuff was not encyclopaedic: it was basically just ill-concealed racism and prejudice, and I soon felt it's worthless to be involved in trying to fix it. But don't get me wrong... I'm a regular consumer of Wikipedia. Tsuchan ( talk) 20:22, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
