Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! --Vox Causa 23:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Evolutionism, without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Baegis (talk) 10:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Evolutionism, you will be blocked from editing. Baegis (talk) 19:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Baegis, did you notice that that time I actually explained myself? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 02:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

How about you explain yourself on the talk page and not in the edit summary. You can't just go about deleting things under auspicious circumstances whenever you wish. It doesn't work like that. Btw, new messages to an editor go at the bottom of their talk page (like this message), not the top (like your message to me). And I never said that I would ban you, I was merely using the WP templates for vandalism and content removal. Baegis (talk) 02:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah ok. I just did explain myself on the talk page. You did actually say to do it in the edit summary though. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 03:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Religion in China

I wonder that you was still deleted ten of citation given in Religion in China without any reasons. You can see that I haven't delete any your citation given [1] because I respect everyone's right entries but you was not respect my contributions...why? You must open-minded, listen if you want everyone respect you! Wikipedia is not a battlefield of knowledge! Thank you!

I can not stand when you delete the newest survey of Zuckerman in 2005 has wrote: 8% - 14% of China population are Atheists from your last estimate given as 59% are Atheists(from the same author in 1993 or another survey in 1998). And deleted all 7 sources thatshow mostly Chinese people are nominal Buddhist/Taoist although I still keep the sources (Chinese government) that show only 8% (or 100 million) of population have taken the Refuge!

You should read Wikipedia:Three-revert rule!

Angelo De La Paz (talk) 10:24, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Angelo, Vipassana Foundation is not a scholarly source, and other sources contradict it. For example, the SBS statistics guide (or whatever its called) puts Buddhism at as low as 2% I think. Not sure. But I don't believe that number either, but its still far more likely than 1 billion. I didn't respect your contributions because they where Original Research, and because you deleted mine earlier even though we came to an earlier compromise, and because the most liberal of scholarly estimates are at about 500-600 million, you cannot fit 660 million or 1 billion into that number. I might listen to people but that was, original research, since your sources did not say that.
You have to understand that Atheist and Agnostic =/= non-religious. The first number was for non-religious, while the second one was for atheists and agnostics. You still kept those sources, but again, they where OR.
Finally, with the three revert rule, I didn't do three reverts within a 24 hour period. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 22:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tag requesting Ethnic Group Infobox for Australian Aborigines

G'day .. I see you've tagged Australian Aborigines as needing an Ethnic Group Infobox!

I note I generally find infoboxes useful .. and I would be glad to try to oblige/assist .. HOWEVER .. I previously investigated and seen that Ethnic Group's Infobox requests population numbers plus distributions of siad ethnic groups (in this case, Australian Aborigines!)

Unfortunately .. the expected, otherwise reliable source for this kind of information within Australia .. ie the Australian Bureau of Statistics does NOT report specifically on numbers of Australian Aborigines (instead lumping them and their population numbers together with Torres Strait Islanders!!) .. nor does it seem that they actually collect census data specifically on whether or not people are Australian Aborigines (again asking are you an Australian Aboriginal or a Torres Strait Islander?)

I wonder if, perhaps, the infobox might give the combined Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander figures for mainland towns and simply have a > (less than) figure in front .. or, alternatively, we search for a reliable source for estimating percentages of ABS figures .. or, maybe, their is an alternative reliable source of these sorts of numbers/ population figures?

I look forward to any advice or suggestions?!! Bruceanthro (talk) 03:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm not Indigenous as you can see from my user page, I'm 1/2 Punjabi, 1/4 Serb, 1/8 Slovene, 1/8 Russian. I simply noticed that the Australian Aboriginals article lacked an infobox, and I'm sure there are some notable Aborigines (there is one that I seem to remember at the back of my head, but I'm not sure of his name...). According to the Australian census 2006 ([2]) there are 115, 000, but that seems a bit too low. Perhaps just add the Indigenous Australians infobox to both the Australian Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders page? Although, even the Tasmanian Aboriginals have their own infobox.Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 05:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I just added notable aborigines to the Indigenous Australian infobox, instead of the previous people. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 05:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry .. wasn't actually asking if YOU were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Austrlian!! Anyways .. I quite like and appreciate what you've done for the Indigenous Australian's infobox .. much more contemporary and accurate than the original 'bathurst island' photo!!
Don't know where the Tasmanian Aboriginals figures come from .. maybe there are no people identifying as Torres Strait Islanders living in that State. In Queensland, however, there are some large Torres Strait Islander populations .. I even recall (unreferenced!) mention that the world's largest single Torres Strait Islander population is in Towsville and not the Torres Strait. Cheers Bruceanthro (talk) 15:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
