Liberal Stooge

Hi, I am the so called "Liberal Stooge". It was a joke that went too far and I will not vandalise the FSHS page in the future. -Liberal Stooge 23:47 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Good to see that you've woken up to your senses. I hope that you can contribute constructively in the future. enochlau (talk) 06:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I did SOFT1901 at Usyd in 2004, but my name is not Steve. You might be confusing me with someone else. enochlau (talk) 06:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

huh, coincidence then. apologies. AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 10:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Instantnood and Alanmak

I recently had to block both Instantnood and Alan for edit warring again, and both are at each other's throats. If you'd like to take the effort to mediate their disputes, whether through the Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal or just a casual discussion, I would really appreciate it. If not, I guess I'll file a mediation request and brace myself. Ashibaka tock 22:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It's actually a large-scale revert war over many articles, mainly stylistic (whether Macau should be called "Macau, China", whether Cantonese should be called "Cantonese Chinese", and so forth). The main issue is that they have long ceased to communicate with each other; in fact, they frequently use reverting edit summaries as a talk page. Ashibaka tock 03:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Informal mediation

Thanks so much Enoch. I welcome whatever way to help reach an eventual resolution, as long as it's fair, open and public, justice is ensured and guaranteed, with all parties involved participating, and are willing to justify their claims and points of view with solid evidence. — Instantnood 12:20, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again for your effort and patience. — Instantnood 12:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the "informal mediation"

First of all, thank you for your offering the informal mediation. I appreaciate your effort in promoting peace between Wikipedians. However, I doubt if the idea is going to work.

First, the idea of this "informal mediation" was brought up by someone who imposed several sucessive blocks on me. He did nothing to help alleviating the situation but merely enjoying the authority that he had to block other user. In simply words, he didn't do sh*t. Now, he suddenly brought up some "new" idea, which is essentially the same thing as the official mediation process, but with the administrator replaced by an administrator who pretends that he is not an administrator. What was the motive behind? Why did he have to ask someone else to do it, instead of doing it by himself? When he tried to "solve a problem", the 48-hour block was the first thing that he used. I don't think that he is actually capable of solving a problem. This idea was brought up by him. So, I might have to think about it.

Moreover, Instantnood has a very strange political views in his mind, as we can see from his edits. Some of those "political ideals" are not actually reflecting the fact. But he insisted to push those kind of political views to plenty of articles, and he already had massive edit wars with several users, such as SmuckyCat and Huaiwei, before. Do you know how difficult it was to find at least three Wikipedians to edit-war with someone simultaneously? Although it is difficult, it happens on Instantnood. This is actually the problem with Instantnood's personality. As far as I know, it is almost impossible to change the political views that have already been well developed in one's mind. If he continues to push his political ideas that are not reflecting the truth, a mediation is not going to work for him.

Remember that I have left a message on his user discuss page and tried to solve the dispute with him on our own? Remember how he responsed to that? I don't think that he has any willingness to negotiate. As I said before, there will be no more concession or compromise with him. If he insists to revert my edits massively, edit war continues. I hope that, by now, he knows that I am not afraid of edit wars and blocks.

I appreciate your effort, but I want to see Instantnood's sincerity. Otherwise, it would be a waste of your effort.

Big Brother contestant

I see you have deleted the Big Brother reference from the Fort Street High School article. In that case, you may want to delete the page I recently created at Elise Chen. But then again, I want my $20 back! --Sumple (Talk) 11:36, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Official full name

Should I revert user:Alanmak edits and restore to this version? He's obviously trying to spread his POV version towards more articles. — Instantnood 19:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 03:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC))

Thanks so much. Your edit follows previous consensus, and hopefully user:Alanmak would concur. Yet we still have to decide how should the wikilink(s) be like when their official full names have to be used. — Instantnood 19:44, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
