Please remove the article about jung myung seok. Some information there is not true. Thank you.

I Ching

Sorry I missed your question at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/I Ching/archive1 before the bot added the closing template. From my reading of the comments, it seems like there was healthy disagreement about the scope and some of the sourcing, which I think are best resolved outside of the FAC process. More important, it is normal for nominations to be archived when they have run this long without attracting any support for promotion. I would be good to build some capital by reviewing other FACs and making sure any outstanding scope and sourcing issues are resolved before renominating. You are welcome to renominate in two weeks. --Laser brain (talk) 18:35, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Could You Review?

Shii: I have a rewrite of Beliefs and Practices for the Soka Gakkai page in my Sandbox [[1]]. If you have time, could you look and it and maybe suggest ways in which it may be unacceptable? It's 100+ words shorter than the current. I finally found an English source for the 5 Guidelines of Faith you had suggested, and included them as a sub-subsection. Everything else is pretty much the same, except for the order in which it's presented. That the SG was once part of Nichiren Shoshu is still there, but moved down so it's not presented as THE most important aspect of SG canon. I changed the order of sub-sections also. Finally, I retained critical statements, but as one part of the subject, rather than the most essential thing about the subject. (If this request is inappropriate, let me know.) Thanks.--Daveler16 (talk) 00:34, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Daveler16 FWIW this looks perfectly good to me. Shii (tock) 08:54, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I made a few more changes today to eliminate typos and confusing syntax. --Daveler16 (talk) 18:16, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shii may approve, but I don't, and I don't consider the decontextualization to be policy compliant, because SG is a Nichiren-derivative movement. I will consider it disruptive if you post that, and ArbCom is on the horizon if I have to deal with your advocacy again.

Once again there is a strong historicism going on here. We already have a History section in the article that makes SG's origins clear. Shii (tock) 20:29, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can I move this conversation to the Talk Page? Seems to be it has taken a turn other editors might want to get in on. --Daveler16 (talk) 15:46, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do so... Shii (tock) 17:32, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shii, yes sorry forgot to drop the notifiation, but I put in a request at the dispute resolution noticeboard to help our discussions on the Providence page reach a compromise.

GIOSCali (talk) 23:27, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shii, do you have a source for your statement on DR/N Reliable secondary sources attest that this group purposefully misleads outsiders about its true nature.? If so, it might be good to add it to your statement on DR/N. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 22:42, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, from a DR/N volunteer

This is a friendly reminder to involved parties that there is a current Dispute Resolution Noticeboard case still awaiting comments and replies.

Deleted page

Hello

I am advised.....Since this article was deleted after the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rochelle Gadd, if you think it should be restored you should first contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Shii (talk). He may be willing to restore the article to a draft page where you can work on it. When you have added references, check with him before restoring it to the main encyclopedia; if he does not agree, you can appeal at WP:Deletion review. JohnCD.......

I believe this page should be reinstated as Rochelle Gadd is a professional actress with many credits to her name (I will locate references). Please let me know what you suggest. Many thanks Chrispanto (talk) 15:15, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chrispanto: The page is now available to you in your userspace, at User:Chrispanto/Rochelle Gadd. Please add references, etc. or else it will be deleted again. Shii (tock) 21:57, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - thank you. I have added a few referenves, but as I am new to this, could you please check and tell me if I am doing this correctly or advise where I am going wrong? Many thanks Chrispanto (talk) 07:34, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chrispanto: None of your references are acceptable. However, I am not able to provide guidance on this subject; please use Wikipedia:Teahouse or ask another admin. Thanks Shii (tock) 12:19, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Protection at Shinto

Would you consider unprotecting Shinto? It has been indefinitely semi-protected for almost six years, excepting the pending changes trial, and the editor who it was intended to benefit (Takashi Ueki) has not edited in over five years. Thanks, Conifer (talk) 04:11, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conifer - I expect this will bring nothing but the horde of POV editors that come to articles like Religion, but nevertheless... let's give it a shot. Shii (tock) 08:28, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cincinnati Musical Center half dollar

Hi, I was wondering if my response to your question at the FAC was satisfactory?--Wehwalt (talk) 13:54, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/David_L._Jones question

The first KEEP vote was from GangofOne who said keep because he had "200,000 subscribers" on YouTube. Not a valid argument to keep something. He did not post again in the AFD.
Johan65 posted KEEP saying the guy was the best in the world at explaining electronics, no other reason given. He did not post anywhere else in the AFD.
Paul (User:Lpgeffen) posted just once also, saying "Valuable, public-minded blogger with a large following" as his only reason for wanting to keep the article.
So you have three KEEP votes you can disqualify. A single magazine interview was found for the guy, plus a book published by an unknown writer with interviews with him and other YouTube people. Almost all of those who said KEEP did so before even these were found, so their arguments were just the invalid "I like it" instead of any claim of meeting Wikipedia's notability requirements. Two(Jeb and МандичкаYO) argued these two sources were enough, while four(Dream Focus, LaMona, MAsem, and Ronz) said they were not and gave valid reasons why the book didn't count towards notability. Dream Focus 14:13, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My impression of the discussion was that Jeh's arguments were convincing to МандичкаYO and that he provided an extended justification for his use of sources -- although I see that there is certainly room to doubt whether the sources he chose justify a claim of notability. I guess I could change the result to "no consensus" if you'd find that satisfying. Shii (tock) 14:32, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
