[edit] State-sponsored terrorism

Hi, you say in your recent edit that the Balochis aren't widely recognised as terrorists. The BLA has been proscibed not just by Pakistan, but aslo by the UK and US and therefore the accusation against India merits at least a brief mention.--Peter cohen (talk) 11:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I think that the Balochi item should be removed. The BBC article is about rebellion in Balochistan and the accusation and denial re India is one sentence in the entire article. We should have at least one WP:RS where the accusation is central before we include unsupported claims. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 12:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Dear YellowMonkey,

Can you analyze this edit? The IP didn't provide any ref. AdjustShift (talk) 09:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I've only watched about 10 Indian films and all were Bollywood Hindi films, none were Tamil, and none were older than 18 years old YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 04:22, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
The edit is actually factually correct but needs to be sourced and copy edited, the word several shows up several times! I'm sure The Hindu has written about it (I clearly remember reading a Friday Feature on south Indian actresses in Bollywood about 15 years ago), but it's unlikely you'll find it online as they have digitized articles only since 2000. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 04:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Belligerent and combatant

Dear YellowMonkey,

Could you tell me that belligerent and combatant are same or different? I currently have a edit conflict in the article Fall of Saigon because of these words. Thank you in advance.--AM (talk) 12:28, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The US is not close to being a belligerent in any case. Not unless PRC and USSR are labelled belligerent for also suppling the DRV. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 02:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
The US had soldiers and equipment in this period. China and russia at this moment do not(soldiers) therefore they did not need a commander, which is one of the requirements of belligerence, troops along with commander in charge(Gerald Ford for US) and equipment otherwise the US troops in Vietnam at the time would be labled as terrorist and or spies. No Nonsense Here. Clearly US should be listed. See Belligerent and laws of war, specifically Hague 1907. Cheers. Sea888 (talk) 03:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

SECTION I ON BELLIGERENTS

CHAPTER I The qualifications of belligerents(Hague 1907)

Article 1. The laws, rights, and duties of war apply not only to armies, but also to militia and volunteer corps fulfilling the following conditions:

1. To be commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;

2. To have a fixed distinctive emblem recognizable at a distance;

3. To carry arms openly; and

4. To conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war. In countries where militia or volunteer corps constitute the army, or form part of it, they are included under the denomination "army."


Art. 2. The inhabitants of a territory which has not been occupied, who, on the approach of the enemy, spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading troops without having had time to organize themselves in accordance with Article 1, shall be regarded as belligerents if they carry arms openly and if they respect the laws and customs of war.


Art. 3. The armed forces of the belligerent parties may consist of combatants and non-combatants. In the case of capture by the enemy, both have a right to be treated as prisoners of war.

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Featured article review/Battle of Warsaw (1920)

Witold J. Ławrynowicz June 26, 2009

To Whom It May Concern: I recently found the following page on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/Battle_of_Warsaw_(1920)

This page essentially accuses me of plagiarizing material from the Electronic Museum website for the “Battle of Warsaw (1920)” article I wrote for the Polish Militaria Collectors Association publication. Since I was not informed about these proceedings against my work, I was denied the possibility of addressing the charges. I will do so at this time.

The accusation of plagiarism from the Electronic Museum page is not only a very serious attack on my reputation as a writer and historian, it is also completely false and unfounded. What your investigators, namely “Yellow Monkey,” found was the person who plagiarized my original work. I can easily prove to be the author of the article entitled “Battle of Warsaw 1920,” originally published as “W siedemdziesiątą rocznicę bitwy warszawskiej 1920” in Polish on August 9, 1990 and August 16, 1990 (in two parts), in “Głos Polski/Gazeta Polska” in Toronto, Canada. I am in possession of original newspaper copies of this article from 1990.

The piece was later translated into English, by myself personally, and subsequently published in “Hetman: Biuletyn Koła Miłośników Militariów Polskich im. Andrzeja Zaremby” (Hetman: the Polish Militaria Collectors Association publication), in 1996. I am also in possession of this copy of “Hetman.” Later in 1996, it was published on the Hetman website at www.hetman.org, which no longer exists, and is now found at www.hetmanusa.org. I can produce a witness to all of the above facts, as well as photos of the original publications.

Bożenna Kirckpatrick, whom I have never met, placed a shorter version of my work on http://www.electronicmuseum.ca/Soviet-Polish_War/spw_3.html. Kirckpatrick rewrote and posted my work as her own before the www.hetman.org website was closed. This is the reason for which it seems that my work followed hers.

To put it quite bluntly, your investigators did not do their research, and my name and reputation have suffered the consequences. The accusations made against me by “Yellow Monkey,” on behalf of Wikipedia, are borderline slanderous. Before waging such an attack against a writer, Wikipedia employees and/or agents should have fully investigated the background of the article. Their failure to do their duty demonstrates a serious lack of due diligence.

At the very least, I expect Wikipedia to withdraw the accusations made against me on the Battle of Warsaw (1920) page and issue a proper apology. I will be monitoring this issue closely.

Unfortunately, there are several other issues on this webpage that I am also forced to address.

Quote 1: “As for Witold Lawrynowicz - this FAR will serve as a broader venue for his status as a reliable source. His results in Google books - 2; 1 is a biological abstract, the other a footnoting snippet [13]. Google Scholar - [14] (chemical except for one to Wikipedia) or, for W. Lawrynowicz[15] - no history-related articles.”

“Novickas” is simply unable or unwilling to find my numerous historical works published in the USA, Canada, Poland, Sweden and Great Britain. There is a grand total of 173 articles, four books, and several Internet publications on historical topics under my name. I have been publishing in the history field since 1973. It seems that “Novickas” is attacking me as if I was his personal enemy, yet I cannot recall anyone with such a pseudonim.

Quote 2: “Another sourcing issue: 17 refs go to this website: [12] by Witold Lawrynowicz. He's a chemist and an amateur historian. Hetmanusa.org is the website of the Polish Militaria Collectors Association. I don't think this is an FA-quality source.” I do not see any justification to the statement that hetmanusa.org is not an FA-quality source. The opinion of “Novickas” has no factual foundation. I suppose “Novickas” never encountered this organization, and for this reason regards it as untrustworthy; this alone is not a reason to state that it is not an FA-quality source. I doubt that “Novickas” has ever ready any of the publications produced by Polish Militaria Collectors Association. Quote 3: “If it were a comprehensive survey of all the literature, it would contain, for instance, an alternative to Lawrynowicz's "Stalin, in search of personal glory, wanted to capture the besieged, important industrial center of Lwów." Richard Pipes et al. are convinced that Stalin, in not moving towards Warsaw, was acting on Lenin's orders [20]. Another contradiction here, I think: this book states the Soviets accidentally destroyed their own communications center [21]. The article, ref'd to Lawrynowicz, says the 203rd Uhlan Regiment destroyed it. I'm not an expert on the topic, but a little digging has convinced me that its review suffered from a lack of knowledgeable editors. The reviewers didn't catch the plagiarism, for starters. Novickas (talk) 16:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)” “Novickas” may not realize it, but the bibliography for “Battle of Warsaw (1920)” is simply too large to provide a comprehensive study for such a short article. Furthermore, Richard Pipes’ opinion is not supported by numerous other researchers, such as Norman Davies in “White Eagle, Red Star,” Orbis Books, London, 1983, page 210. The destruction of the Russian radiostation was a direct result of action by the Polish 203rd Uhlan Regiment, which I myself described in detail in „Zdobycz ciechanowska”, Przegląd Polski, Nowy Dziennik, 08.17.2007, New York, USA. It also was described in Zbigniew Wieteska’s “27 Pułk Ułanów im. Króla Stefana Batorego,” Warszawa 1992, page 8, B. Skaradziński’s “Polskie lata 1919-1920,” Volumen, Warszawa 1993, page 241 and T. Machalski „Zagon na Ciechanów” in „Przegląd Kawalerii i Broni Pancernej”, London 1962, Nr. 28. pages 12 – 15. Writing or commenting on the history of Poland requires knowledge of the Polish language and study of Polish language sources. By his own admission, “Novickas” is not an expert on the topic, but I will refrain from attacking his ignorance personally. Most disturbing, however, is the following statement:

Quote 4: “I submit that his historical works are not reliable sources "published in reputable peer-reviewed sources and/or by well-regarded academic presses." Novickas (talk) 18:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)”

Publications in Przegląd Kawalerii i Broni Pancernej, MARS, Wojskowy Przegląd Historyczny, Armoured Fighting Vehicles News, Hetman, AJ-Press, and others, as well as lectures for the Polish-American Historical Association and the Piłsudski Institute in New York prove “Novickas” wrong. I could defend myself further, but I think that my published pieces speak for themselves. I would encourage you to research my work further and convince yourselves of this fact.

I fully expect Wikipedia to immediately withdraw its false and unfounded judgments and publish letter of apology to myself.

Sincerely, Witold J. Ławrynowicz witekjl@aol.com

Nobody has accused you of plagiarism. The concern in question was that Wikipedia copied your work too closely. In any case, when I was judge the debate and move it to voting, I simply list what has been suggested above. As the articles lacked references anyway I did not demote the article because of the concerns over plagiarism. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 02:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Taman Shud Case has been an interesting article to research and write and I am now helping an Adelaide University led team trying to crack the case. The article was in the middle of an attempt to gain GA status when the above mentioned interruptions occurred. Hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of things soon and get the article to FA status (and solve the mystery). --Roisterer (talk) 04:54, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks like Hamence is doing well this time—thanks for all your great content contributions. Also, for dealing with me at FAR. Laser brain (talk) 02:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Laser brain, I have a few FARs for you YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 02:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Good deal. Will look at Lake Burley Griffin today. --Laser brain (talk) 15:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Images in Keith Miller

How come the images in the "Early Life" section in Miller seem to have been removed? They are of Keith Truscott and Bill Woodful. Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 08:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok I'll keep an eye on him. Do the images get deleted from the appropriate articles now? Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 08:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
The bot normally does it but opbviously it is broken YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 08:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Can you block him? As he obviously isn't learning. Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 08:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
I would but I'm an involved administrator and I'm not a powerful warlord so I can't break the rules YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 01:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Been blocked in any case. Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 06:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes WP AFL isn't very good. Jeff White and Tom Hawkins the other GA's aren't very good players so they don't really interest me. Joel Selwood is good player already and will probably win a Brownlow. I'm guessing AFL isn't you cup of tea even though you live in Adelaide? Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 07:04, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

No I don't like it. There are too many thugs in there like Cousins, Hall and Everitt, although it looks good compared to RL. The athletic standards in AFL are very good but the ball skills are poor or aren't required, especially how some forwards can be considered top quality with a 50% accuracy rate (Tredrea). Especially how "traditionalists" like to criticise teams for passing the ball properly instead of the "classical way" of going for random long balls. Else it will end up like soccer matches between a good and a bad team where the bad team tend to get lots of defenders and block with 7-8 defenders and when the good team's attack ends they do a 50m bomb up to the lone striker; Iraq did that against Spain last week; about 6 defenders, 3 defensive midfielders and one striker, effectively. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 07:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
U can Add Dean Solomon to the list. Skills around the ground have improved drastically from past decades although kicking for goal hasn't improved at all really. Peter Hudson probably the best ever shot a goal rarely kicked a proper drop punt but he seemed to get them to go straight, but now emphasis is on kicking the magic goals from the boundary. There is currently a massive difference between Geelong and Melbourne. Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 07:30, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Well there is a big difference although not as much as IND/AUS/RSA down to BANG/ZIM or Brazil/Spain down to Asian teams other than Aus/JPN/KOR. Luckily in football for a bad team can block more easily, after all there is no point in losing 20-4 instead of 2-0. Most of the low teams when they play against Man U, Arsenal etc, they just don't try and are happy to lose 1-0 but in terms of shots at goal it is often about 20-2 or so. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 07:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
And Ponting's form is giving me the shits... Hawkins is lucky to be in a side as good as Geelong. The only reason is that Geelong have a week forward link compared to their mids/defenders. Anyone with can review a GA. Some with very little edits review an art which they are a fan of and practically pass it without giving a good review like Philcha. It will be interesting to watch how Australia perform against England A tonight. Aaroncrick(Tassie Boy talk) 07:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] FAR

I see that you recently created the page Wikipedia:Featured article review/Sheffield as a redirect to Wikipedia:Featured article review/Sheffield/archive1, but with text on the page following the redirect (which is invisible unless you edit the page). I am confused -- why create two pages and split the text between them? Would it make sense to merge the two pages? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Fixed, that was a leftover talk page notificiation YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 01:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Hi, I'm posting this on your (and other members of the Maths Wikiproject) talk as we need editors who are knowledgeable about Mathematics to evaluate the following discussion and check out the editors and articles affected. Please follow the link below and comment if you can help.

Well I'm hardly an expert, just a person who did a bit as a student and hadn't come across the Butcher group the other guys being experienced academics and professors but I did come acrooss and write about things that are in the general sphere of things like Quasi-Hopf algebra and Vertex model, in which the studies of Hopf algebras and the like are used to solve lattice models that describe solids, like ice, for instance. Nevertheless the additions that AKNole made by cutting and pasting from the Butcher group stuff about pure maths about graph theory/combinatorics into the Minimal subtraction scheme, which is about doing calculations on particle physics. He copied something apparently about an alternative technique on trees in graph theory instead of using Feynman diagrams, which is an orthodox tool in theoretical physics, into an article about renormalization calculations in physics, which is done in the Feynman way. I don't know/understand if this stuff that he added, which is predated by the MSS is consistent with it, but it's certainly not right to just whack it in like that unless he can explain why it's related (if it is), especially as there was a debate about making things more accessible, as the addition would only confuse people; the vast majority of people who do QFT (which I have taken a course in, although I wouldn't say that I understood it irrespective of the grade I got) and renormalisation calculations including tenured academics at QFT/QCD institutes do not deal with anything beyond the basics of Lie algebra, let alone highly detailed quantum or Hopf algebras. Also his comments on the talk page seem a bit odd in focusing on rather unusual things, and his comments in the first parts show a lack of conviction about some 2nd year maths, while things like Hopf algebras would hardly be taught in 4th year unless a student decided to do a project on it. I don't know about the history to know if there is a motive for deliberate stalking or trolling. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 02:25, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Philippines article; Spanish and Arabic as "Voluntary & Optional Languages"

I think both should be put in the Languages section of the Philippines column, under the heading "Voluntary & Optional Languages" and beneath the Recognized Regional Languages. Right now its all the way at the bottom of the Philippines column as footnotes. I think the change I propose is more appropriate, as both Spanish and Arabic are named in the constitution as promoted on a voluntary and optional basis, and I think any language named in the constitution should be put in the languages section of the column.

[edit] KP Main Page

Hi there,

In case you miss it, I've copied the newer draft of the Pietersen lead onto the WT:CRIC discussion - could you take a look (and change it as necessary) and then replace the version in the Main Page queue?

Oh, happy YM day for yesterday!!

[edit] Roland Perry

Att: YellowMonkey

Have added broader biographical information on the subject Roland Perry -- which includes balance of sourced reviews... some positive and some critical.

The previous posts were a collection of criticism with small scope.

Please direct your higher-level edit skills towards specific parts of the new material rather than mass-deletion as an edit-war is not becoming.

Look forward to your considered edits on the material. Haruspex101 (talk) 11:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC) (novice user)
