[edit] Viva LaRouche

User:Platonist is also over at the Spanish Wikipedia as "Usuario:Platonista". How original. He's starting up an edit war on the Lyndon LaRouche article there. Our ArbCom ruling doesn't apply there if I understand the matter correctly. My Spanish is restaurant grade, but I might register there so I can at least watch.

[edit] PA103 bomb image

Hi again, SV. I've updated the animated GIF again. I have recreated it from the original source (resolving a possible copyright conflict with the ASN) and I have increased the frame timing to 10 seconds. Hope this meets your approval! Cheers -- FP <talk><edits> 10:19, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blocks

Hi SlimVirgin, yes i was thinking about undoing those and putting in infinite blocks. I'll go ahead and do it and signal you when done. Fuzheado | Talk 16:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Anonymous Proxy"?

Just so you know, 129.7.35.X computers are not an anonymous proxy but a publicly accessible computer lab. Posted by User:129.7.35.176 SlimVirgin (talk) 18:32, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seriously?

Are you completely unaware of the fact that the ALF is commonly referred to as an ecoterrorism group? You can't honestly claim ignorance of this. You, as an administrator, need to stop protecting the ALF page and allow it to show both positive and negative views. As a source of information, just providing the point of view in which animal rights people will take is not good. Multiple sides need to be shown.

Read these: http://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress02/jarboe021202.htm http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/5/20/123821.shtml

A quick search on google will give you many more references.

You should also know that many Wikipedia pages on terrorism and ecoterrorism contain the ALF. Yet, the ALF page does not contain those terms thanks to some idiots who try to protect it. Thanks for understanding that the ALF is an ecoterrorism organization :) User:Iamblueman4

[edit] Vandal User

Hello, my name is Flowerofchivalry and I am glad if you give me some help.

A user, User:Hmib, assault me by calling me as "neo-nazi holocaust denier" and "vandal user." I have been discussing with him about Nanking Massacre and Iris Chang, but he accused me that I have no NPOV because my POV is different from him. By citing many credible publicities and teaching him about NPOV, but he does not listen at all.

Since he states himself as a highschool student, so I tried to give him an extra opportunity to withdraw his abusing, but he does not listen anything either.

According to Wikipedia's official rules, he must not assault me, like what he did. Since he believes NPOV means excluding anti-Chinese POV, and he may believe anything against that is vandalism, I cannot talk to him anymore.

He has been instigated by other users, such as User:Markalexander100, also has the same idea with Hmib, so Hmib might believe everything he is doing is the justice. In fact, he committed 3RR violation because of this.

I tried my best to calm his down, but I failed. Now, I think it is a time to seek your help. Your any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. --Flowerofchivalry 22:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A textbook case of Cry Wolf. On Talk:Iris Chang, User:Flowerofchivalry stated
However, I personally believe it did not happen.
when referring to the Rape of Nanking. That constitutes a holocaust denier. Note that I used "holocaust" in lowercase. As for vandalism, a quick glance at User:Flowerofchivalry's impressive 10RR (yes, ten) track record will give you an idea whether he is a vandal or not.
For my 3RR blunder, I have already apologized on the complaint page User:Flowerofchivalry lodged against me, see here.
As for his accusation of me pushing POV, a quick look at Nanjing Safety Zone (history) tells you just how much User:Flowerofchivalry ignores established facts and insists on his own version of history. Note that, if MY NPOV means excluding all anti-China POV, like the accusation leveled against me, then pages like Ishihara Shintaro would long ago have been replaced with a picture of human feces. But they are alive and well. I guess the Chinese POV likes Ishihara Shintaro a lot, eh?
I do not let my personal convictions get in the way of editing wikipedia, that's why Shintaro has not been renamed Shitaro, but obviously for User:Flowerofchivalry, his version of NPOV exclusively means anything that he accepts as truth. Not unlike the accusation he leveled against me. Look in the mirror.
I would appreciate your help, however, to deal with this long-running conflict with User:Flowerofchivalry, it has dragged on long enough and none of the serious contributors want it to continue. -Hmib 08:54, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm glad Hmib showed his assertion here that let Slimvergin understand what are Hmib's problems.
Again, I didn't make 10rv, and I'm not neo-nazi holocaust denier as Hmib stated. Slimvirgin, sorry for mess up your talkpage with this low level dispute made by Hmib.

--Flowerofchivalry 09:38, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

On the contrary, I must apologize to SlimVirgin for cluttering his talkpage with such nonsense. -Hmib 09:59, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Her talk page. ;-) SlimVirgin (talk) 10:05, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
*Slaps self*. Truly sorry, Miss. :) -Hmib 10:14, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As you already identified... the root of the problem is Hmib's not understanding NPOV. He stated my articles "push" him "my POV". My contributions are 100% based on credible sources, and certainly some of them are not favored by Hmib. If your time allows you, I would like you to look at the article here.

He is now tring to RfC, but it is clear for me that Hmib will disgrace himself in public. --Flowerofchivalry 10:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Who will disgrace himself remains to be seen. As for your "credible" sources, they are nothing more than pseudohistory. You have yet to provide ANY sort of credible sources for your POV. -Hmib 10:14, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Since I cannot fill her talkpage with garbage, I will not argue with Hmib here. --Flowerofchivalry 10:16, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

SlimVirgin, you might be interested in this. -Hmib 11:54, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I've run into a certain attitude that I'm curious if its a proper one.

  • I can revert your edit with good faith based on the fact that you are just using your IP address as an identifier.

Is this proper for the wikipedia? I certainly have my reasons for not creating an account, but I also assumed that nonlogged in users are allowed to edit for a reason. Am I incorrect in that the edits should be considered on their own merits regardless of who makes them? -bro 172.149.84.231 07:12, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I understand everything you say regarding the benefits of creating an account, but as I said I have my reasons, if you would like to know them in regards to this I will explain. I must ask you to please look at the edits(edit really) that this is occuring over. Its from a link already referenced in the article (I didn't put it there), and it is extremely useful as context for other quotes that -are- used in the article from the same reference. As an aside, I believe this user User:MONGO has hit the 3rr ceiling, but I'll leave that to your descretion. My edit is both useful, enlightening, and helps improve the article. Thanks for your time. -bro 172.149.84.231 08:04, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that quote was actually my second try at trying to figure out why it was being blind reverted, I thought it may have been something to do with my original one which was He said that he would continue to refuse to comment on allegations of drug use. which is also from the same source. I personally like the bolded one better by far, but hey, thought a direct quote might be more acceptable.-bro 172.149.84.231 08:22, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) (posted on the article talk page as well)

[edit] Thanks

Just wanted to offer my thanks for your quick responses. Honestly you were the only admin name I could remember off the top of my head when I felt it neccessary to bring attention to this. Good thing your moniker is unique :D Many thanks. -bro 172.149.84.231 08:29, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi, no in fact I don't have those tabs. Could you add them, or better yet tell me how they get put up there? Is this part of a CSS template? Fuzheado | Talk 23:43, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Controversial Israel/Palestine template proposed

Hi SlimVirgin: I received the following and am posting it here FYI. Thanks IZAK 04:01, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi IZAK - I would welcome your input on something that I have proposed at WP:WSS/C (the stub sorting wikiproject). I am largely responsible for the split of geography stubs into separate categories. At the moment, Category:Middle East geography stubs is getting fairly large, and the most obvious split of it is to make a separate category for Israel. BUT - and here is where the problem lies - understandably, several of the stubs could be just as easily stubbed with a template for Palestine, especially if they are to remain NPOV, and especially given the volatile claims to different parts of that troubled region.

I am proposing a category called Category:Israel-Palestine geography stubs, with two separate stub templates {{israel-geo-stub}} and {{palestine-geo-stub}} both leading to it. The resulting stub category would be a subcategory of both Category:Israel and Category:Palestine. It is, quite honestly, the only way I can think of to get around this delicate problem.

If you can think of any better way of working this, I would welcome any suggestions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria#Israel-Palestine. Thanks - Grutness...wha? 10:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Hi Grutness, thank you for requesting my input. I will respond soon and will circulate your request to others for further input. IZAK 21:32, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • The more voices the better - if you know anyone willing to comment from the Palestinian viewpoint as well, it would be appreciated. Grutness...wha? 23:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ongoing vandalism

Hello, I would like you to pay attention to User:211.30.211.93. I just reported to Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress again. The user vandalised talkpages and assaulted people by using foul language (eg. a fucking jap neo-nazi holocaust denier). This is against Wikipedia's official guidelines.

After that, the user removed and/or changed anything he believes written by "anti-Chinese/anti-Communist hysteria." The user claimed that the people here at Wikipedia "are sponsored by the jap government."

The user should be banned because I and nobody don't want to see his/her filth anymore.

This is not related to Hmib. BTW, he disappeared... what happened to him.

Anyway, your help will be greatly appreciated. --Flowerofchivalry 10:36, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

here or here or here or here or here if not more. Sorry for lacking the information.

--Flowerofchivalry 10:48, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

or this. There are many. --Flowerofchivalry 10:54, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I hope it works. --Flowerofchivalry 11:00, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Slim, he/she's at it again. The user has been going through "Mao Zedong", "Jung Chang", etc and just rewriting everything to suit his/her view point. They won't stop - can you read the riot act or ban this user, or something please? Thanks. Examples are here:

Wild Swans Jung Chang Mao Zedong

Mao: unknown story The last is perhaps the worst, as 211.30.211.93 removed almost everything - just because it praises the book.

John Smith's 28 June 2005 09:03 (UTC)

Slim, sorry to bother you - are you around? This person won't stop now doing the same to Luding Bridge. They really need to be stopped ASAP.

Please don't block the user. It's a content dispute and that would be taking sides. Try protecting the articles if necessary (preferably without the POV stuff) to direct discussion to the talk page. Everyking 28 June 2005 09:38 (UTC)

The user has committed personal attacks by using foul language at least 6 times, but there are no known personal attacks this time. --Flowerofchivalry 28 June 2005 09:42 (UTC)

Please DO block the user. He/she has been editing all the above articles AGAIN - Jung Chang the latest one. He/she refuses to respond to messages and pleas to contribute on discussion pages. You've warned him/her twice - this is getting ridiculous. John Smith's 28 June 2005 09:51 (UTC)

So it's alright for FOC and JS to post anti-China and holocaust-denial crap here, but it's wrong for me to get rid of them? These people are associates, maybe even the same person, and vandalise articles with masses of crap that are just outright wrong and negative. They hate China, and try to present my country negatively to encite hatred, they also post opinionated crap that does not belong to wikipedia, under the guise of a 'review'. If you block me, you should block them as well, otherwise you're just another associate of them.--211.30.211.93 29 June 2005 04:38 (UTC)

[edit] Why won't you create an account

There are many reasons for not doing so, the first and biggest is to keep from becoming too involved. As it is, I have actually been dragged farther in that I wish. Normally what I do is read over articles that interest me, and when I see something that I feel needs changed or clarified, I just leave a comment on the discussion page and allow other users to take action if they wish. In the case of the GWB article, I (mistaken it seems) thought that adding more information of a reference already in the article would be universally accepted. Secondly, I didn't, and still don't, find it neccessary, or even, or in the least beneficial to create an account. As I've noted I understand there are disadvantages in general, but none that I have a problem with accepting. Third, and this is a newly developed reason, I don't wish to become stalked by people who edit irrationally, and would transfer that to other areas of comment. These are the general reasons. I sign all of my edits with my moniker 'bro' and IP, and have had no problems when dealing with any other user besides this case. If you like you can check the [Unlawful Combatants] talk page for my discussions there, where I did what I mentioned in the first reason, and thats how I intend to continue, rarely making edits while giving advice as to what should be there. On, a different note, do you really feel reverting nonlogged in users regardless of the content of the edit is acceptable and not vandalism? I get the feeling I am miscommunicating my complaint in that regard as it seems rather spelled out in the article here. Anyway, I do appreciate your help, I'll see you around. -bro 172.147.73.11 07:19, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There had been no vandalism for 16 minutes before your block. I don't think that was necessary. Vandalism should have to be a serious nuisance before we resort to blocking IPs. Everyking 07:23, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Simple vandalism, yes; requiring a block, no. Vandalism does not automatically require a block. One looks at the specific case. Is it out of control? How severe is the damage? Is it persisting? There had been no vandalism for 15 minutes, so where was the necessity? The block could affect someone else, you know. But I'm not going to unblock a petty vandal. Everyking 07:37, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kach and Kahane Chai

Hi, SlimVirgin,

You've locked the Kach page down because of the edit war between 69.221.60.181 and Jayjg. I'm trying to get them discussing this on the talk page, but neither of them are replying so far. Can you think of a way to engage them? What do you think of the compromise I've sugested? AW 14:04, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flowerofchivalry

Ah, IMO, FoC is something pretty close to a "Holocaust-denial neo-Nazi from Japan". Maybe he doesn't buy into all of the far-right-wing POV that's increasingly common in Japan (I haven't looked at all their edits), but this business of his edits about the Nanking Massacre is more than troubling.

This far-right-wing revisionist historianism in Japan, and its successes in things like getting changes in history books, is a real problem, and I'm very worried that the current Japanese government isn't taking major steps to deal with it, but is rather just appeasing them. Those with good knowledge of Japanese history will remember something very similar in the 1920's - not that I think we're likely to repeat the 1930's, but still... It's as if neo-Nazis in Germany were actually succeeding in writing the Holocaust out of German history books.

Which is not to say that the other parties in this (Hmib, I think is the user's ID) are acting properly, or that all they've said is acceptable (the "nuke" remark was over the top), but FoC is a very, very, very long way from blameless here. Noel (talk) 17:31, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I should make a minor correction here: it's possible that FoC is merely a hard nationalist, and not on the far-right; the two are of course not synonomous (although often found together). Noel (talk) 19:25, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Jnc,

First of all, what you wrote here (and everywhere) is your personal opinion (as you said so). I can't get your point, but what is your assertion? Some POVs not mentioned in the article must not be included because it is against your personal opinion?

Second, in my opinion, you seriously lack of history knowledge by confusing "holocaust in Germany" and "the Nanking Incident." If you seriously believe those are identical, prove it please.

Finally, reasoning "FoC is a very, very, very long way from blameless here." Is this because it against your personal POV?

--Flowerofchivalry 21:38, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Are you stupid or what? It's the Nanjing Massacre not the Nanjing Incident. Letting people like you editing articles is like inviting a neo-Nazi editing Holocaust articles.

The above template has been deleted, as per WP:TFD. However, I have userfied it to User:SlimVirgin/Guideline1, where you can feel free to work on it as you please. I think that the main concern is that it would be a template fork, which is (as far as I know) not what you intended.

[edit] Blocking Bias

I request you to refrain from blocking people just because they do not conform to your Point Of View. It is not a very healthy thing to do. I have observed that all blocking requests to you come from one or two editors, whose editing history indicates a full time devotion to promotion of the POV of a particular ideology, and who confront and talk rudely to anyone who attempts to make these articles NPOV. 130.203.202.156 29 June 2005 00:48 (UTC)

This anon IP user 130.203.202.156 (talk · contribs) is user:Deeptrivia who is being routed through Penn University as a proxy and the reason he/she was banned was because of vandalizing my and user:Mustafaa's user page and other articles. He/she admits that " My IP is 130.203.202.156 Thank you. deeptrivia 29 June 2005 02:53 (UTC) " near the bottom of this page here [4] when arguing against user:Axon. Hope this helps SlimVirgin. :) - Anonymous editor June 30, 2005 01:16 (UTC)
The idea is to spam the Wikipedia system by cooperating with a group of likeminded users. This makes the outcome of an editing dispute a tug-of-war: the group with most members online will win an editing controversy. It seems especially the islamic activist members of Wikipedia, like user:Anonymous editor, user:Yuber, user:BrandonYusufToporov and user:Mustafaa, know how to exploit this Wikipedia policy weakness. By the way, I did not use a proxy from Pennsylvania university, as I told you by e-mail before anyway. OK, I'm a kafir,I know :)--Germen 1 July 2005 14:47 (UTC)

(To 211.30.211.93) Hi, first of all, you should create account, or at least sign all your comments. I'm very happy that you have a different opinion, but you MUST express your valuable opinion per the official rules. I have a personal opinion that Mao and Stalin are the worst evils in the world history. Hitler is still evil but he is nothing comparing to them. I think you have a different POV, so you MUST cite why Mao is not the worst evil of the earth. The citation must be from credible sources, such as Foreign Affairs or Foreign Policy or anything widely distributed. You can also cite something from Ph.D or equivalent, or anything credible. But you MUST NOT include your opinion even if you believe your opinion is absolutely right.

Also, as all the other people told you, don't commit any personal attack of all kinds.

I hope this helps you, and I welcome you if and only if you follow all the regulations.

--Flowerofchivalry 29 June 2005 06:43 (UTC)

(To FlowerofChivalry) Um, it is a wikipolicy that you need NOT create an account, nor should "registered" users disparage "unregistered" users. Read the policy please. As for your understanding of NPOV, it is still lacking. You obviously have not read the examples I provided: Mao and Stalin and Hitler and Tojo and Hirohito are evil, that is a fact. As for who is more evil than the other, it can never be convincingly proved, so any claims that someone is MORE evil than another is POV. Also, sources need not be from Ph.Ds. Witness accounts, for example. They need not be a Ph.D to testify in court. Or be included in wikipedia, for that matter. Oh and I suggest that YOU follow all the regulations before you demand others do. Take for example, 3RR. -Hmib 30 June 2005 00:45 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

User 211.30.211.93 left the following comment at my talkpage.

So what the Japs did in China are all 'assumptions'? And there's alot of 'evidence' from nwo-Nazis on that the Holocaust never happened. Why don't you include them as well?

This is clearly a personal attack and racist attack. This user has been warned many times. I hereby request you to block this anon IP user. Flowerofchivalry 29 June 2005 06:05 (UTC)

The word "Jap(s)" has been used as a disparaging name, so the above comment is a racist and personal attack. Please block 211.30.211.93. Thank you. Flowerofchivalry 29 June 2005 06:18 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. Flowerofchivalry 29 June 2005 06:29 (UTC)

Slim, I'm sorry but 211.30.211.93 has reverted several of the aforementioned articles again. This is the third time he/she has done this - I believe you said the last warning you have was going to be the final one. Please find the articles here: Jung Chang Historians Wild Swans

Please take appropriate action. Thanks. John Smith's 29 June 2005 15:22 (UTC)

No offence, but in that case why did you warn him/her last time not to do it again? John Smith's 29 June 2005 15:48 (UTC)

Ok, well I'm happy to remove words like "celebrated", etc. That's fair enough. Also, having thought about it, I suppose that she is a biographer rather than a historian. It is, of course, a slight difference but a valid one. If you don't mind I'll revert other bits of the JC article, especially as this person can't spell certain words. Thanks for your help John Smith's 29 June 2005 16:16 (UTC)

He showed that he has no understanding of female psychology by his choice of which of the two parts of your name to question... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 29 June 2005 18:51 (UTC)

[edit] More Vandalism

Hi again. Clear vandalism by 24.65.58.91 (talk · contribs) on the Islam article. This user has been warned before and its time he/she gets what they deserve. ;) Thanks. --Anonymous editor June 29, 2005 23:54 (UTC)

[edit] Name controversy

User:Irishpunktom is having a problem with another editor user:IrishpunkTom (note the capitalized "T") who keeps editing his user page. Can you please help him as I have no idea how to. Be warned: the latter (large "T") has a redirect on his own user page to the actual one's (small "t") so you will have to click the link that says "redirected from:". Thanks and I'm sure he'll appreciate this. And yes it is confusing...:-( --Anonymous editor June 30, 2005 02:11 (UTC)

Nice move. Thanks once again. --Anonymous editor June 30, 2005 02:14 (UTC)
Cheers, Thank you both! --Irishpunktom\talk June 30, 2005 18:18 (UTC)

[edit] Stop stalking me

  • 1) I am not user 81.15.233.3 , sorry to disappoint.
  • 2) You seem to have a vendetta going against me, and keep going around reverting many of my edits violating many wikipedia rules you kept telling me I should follow , ie , using the talk page, get consensus.
  • 3) I will continue to add edits to wikipedia following wiki policy , so you can continue to waste your time trying to stop me, it will be of no use. --CltFn 30 June 2005 12:31 (UTC)

[edit] 68.202.96.31

Hi, Slim. You've already reverted this person's edits of Luding Bridge. After I requested him/her to bring in evidence that discounts (directly attacks) JC's views, he/she ignored it and reverted anyway. As you reverted in the first place, please can you do your thang. I don't want to be accused of being "unfair". John Smith's 30 June 2005 15:42 (UTC)

[edit] Flame war

There seem to be a lot of pro-Indian/Hindu anon IP editors on Talk: Kashmir which have a grudge against me for stopping a religious attack against them! I should be getting somewhere close to a thank you for stepping in and stopping the conflict, but editors: user:AimLess, 128.118.126.64 (talk · contribs), 130.203.202.156 (talk · contribs) are confident that for some odd reason I am a "Pakistani" simply because I did this and that justifies making attacks against me. Can you mediate and stop this dispute as they seem to be taking this to a flame war level which I have no intentions of doing. This would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anonymous editor June 30, 2005 18:59 (UTC)

[edit] Flowerofchivalry

If there are any more perceived problems with User:Flowerofchivalry, please let me know. (even just a quick link to a dispute or short note, anything) I'm acting as the user's advocate, for issues relating to events in China after the Battle of Nanking, and Iris Chang, etc... and I'd appreciate knowing if the user is getting into or causing any trouble. I think I have established a rapport and that I could help steer him/her in the right direction. Thank you. (I just reread this and it sounds like "I'm the lawyer, if you want to talk to him, talk to me instead", which is not what I mean. I'd just like help keeping on top of the situation, if there's a situation.) Thanks again. Pedant 2005 June 30 23:50 (UTC)

[edit] Err

Someone is playing about with my Userpage again, Can you lock it ? Thanks. --Irishpunktom\talk July 1, 2005 00:09 (UTC)

[edit] Luding Bridge

I am not user 211.30.211.93 and I have not used any inflammatory attacks. I'm sorry for the deletion about Luding Bridge, but the issue is under discussion right now... User:68.202.96.31, July 1, 2005 00:14 I'm not him--211.30.211.93 1 July 2005 03:05 (UTC)

[edit] Question

As per Wikipedia policy, I am to maintain a neutral stance and to "find a reputable source for a fact and cite the source." Unfortunately, my overwhelming number of resources prove Jung Chang wrong on her assertations that Luding Bridge did not exist, thus making this particular source unreputable. I can delete her then. User:68.202.96.31

[edit] For the last time I am not user 81.15.233.3

You keep refering to this account and accusing me of being it.. That is not me. --CltFn 65.139.81.96 1 July 2005 00:46 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Slim

I appreciate your support on my RFA! Lots of people to respond to :-) Ta bu shi da yu 1 July 2005 05:07 (UTC)

[edit] The Myth of Islamic Tolerance

Hey Slim. In this case, and particularly given the track record of the editor making the claim, I don't think it is too much to ask for some actual citations on this matter; please see my note in Talk. Jayjg (talk) 1 July 2005 06:54 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for the Lock! --Irishpunktom\talk July 1, 2005 16:02 (UTC)

[edit] Character question

Seeing as you're the only admin I'm aquainted with so far (formerly 68.202.96.31 ), I'm wondering how you can input Chinese characters into the system...thanks a lot!
