[edit]I don't know what these "other" articles that indicate an abbreciation actually are, but unless it's something that is officially recognized (which is what you typically see for businesses and not so much for film related articles) then it isn't relevant to include. Providing a source that shows they used said abbreviation is not proof that that is an officially recognized title for the franchise. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 06:29, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
I wanted to alert you to a discussion we are having about the possibility of expanding the scope of the protests article you created at its talk page in case you want to provide any input. Monty845 20:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Notice
[edit]Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--UplinkAnsh (talk) 12:10, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
"Trolling"
[edit]While you are within your right to remove talk page comments as you see fit, please remember these things:
- Calling someone a derogatory name because you disagree with their comments is not in keeping with this Wikipedia guideline regarding civility.
- Removing a warning notice does not make the problem go away.
- Repeatedly deleting warning messages may be seen by some editors, particularly admins, as an attempt to ignore or evade a problem.
Bear in mind that I have no particular position on the issue between you and the editor whose comments you deleted. Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:26, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- What will I call someone who repeatedly gives me a false personal attack warning? --Reference Desker (talk) 02:01, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- In my case, something stronger. :-) But seriously, if you remain civil in whatever this dispute may be, you won't have any problems. By the way, if he persists, seek admin intervention (if you haven't already). - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Persisting, as in repeatedly inserting removed material...then reporting would be in the right. But if I don't, there is no basis for 'prevention' (which is the purpose of blocks).
- I was warning him about a personal attack ("politically motivated") on others. Bluntly, Reference Desker's edits and tone are nothing but politically motivated. Hope he falls into the sock trap. –HXL's Roundtable and Record 14:47, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- You falsely claimed you warned me for "politically motivated" comment, but you actually "warned" me for this comment. That comment is in no way a personal attack. Please do not falsely accuse others without properly understanding the policy. And your comments like "hope he falls into the sock trap" are borderline trolling. Your repeating of false claims is going to be disruptive. --Reference Desker (talk) 01:33, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oh trying to draw observers of this conversation from your own sly behaviour? I said "You have done [something like] this ("politically motivated") at least once before." Whose reading comprehension is at fault here, eh? You can LIE all you want to. I saw your commenting on editors' political motivations as ad hominem, so I have every right to interpret it as a personal attack.
- Trolling you would be something different. You remind me oddly of Gantuya eng...shall I open a sock investigation against you? –HXL's Roundtable and Record 02:12, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- Now it is clear arguing with you is a waste of time, so close the thread here. --Reference Desker (talk) 03:59, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
- Now it is clear I have even more of a reason to continue bothering you. These messages need to, as Dolores Umbridge put it, "sink in" to your mind. –HXL's Roundtable and Record 04:11, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crimes against humanity under communist regimes (diff). If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Quigley (talk) 22:51, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
Proposed Tibetan naming conventions
[edit]A while back, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 16:19, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Neutrality
[edit]Can you try to be more neutral and cite reliable sources for edits you make to China/Tibet articles ? If you make edits that don't comply with policy other editors have to clean them up. Thanks. Sean.hoyland - talk 17:10, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- OK, source added. --Reference Desker (talk) 03:27, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- You are right that I am not at all a new user, but you have not one piece of evidence to claim that I am operating any other account at this time. GotR Talk 16:53, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
