User talk:SchmuckyTheCat
Welcome to my talk page. Feel free to leave me messages or even flaming bags filled with poo.
At least 100 years ago I archived a few years worth of people's comments. And then I did it again! I'll keep doing it, over and over, as many times as I want to, as hard as I can.

Re: Image Attribution
Thanks for letting me know. I can see it's sort of a douchey thing to do. I'm working for said Kris Krug and was under the impression that image attribution on the pages would be alright. BUT my lesson has been learned. I'll head through and take all that down on the articles I've added photographs to.
Thanks :)

Hi. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
Hi.
I've just taken a job as a Webmaster at an animal health pharmaceutical. I edited a page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin) to add a link to our product (in the External Links section) that includes that active ingredient. You reverted that page to remove the link. Is there a resource to help me better understand what is the appropriate way in which I can edit Wikipedia entries related to our products? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.91.83.16 (talk) 20:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I believe your edits in the article today may give rise to issues relating to the 3 RR rule. Maybe you wish to look into that.--pyl (talk) 16:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Republic of China
I've opened an issue at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Chinese_Civil_War_territorial_changes that touches heavily on Liu Tao's edits. Laurent and I both agreed to allow Nanking if Liu Tao could find a reliable source, so I think we're pretty much bound by that even though I think you have some good points. You may want to take a look. Readin (talk) 13:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
User:Liu Tao entry on WP:LONG
- Cross-posted here and on User talk:Laurent1979
Hello Laurent! I have removed the entry on WP:LONG about User:Liu Tao. As the title of the page indicates, it is meant for persistent and long-term abusers only. The user in question doesn't seem to be this: he/she hasn't been indef-blocked yet, and has, as far as I can see, no sockpuppets. Certainly not (in)famous enough, I wouldd say. Perhaps you should try to reason with him/her instead? Cheers, theFace 18:39, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Qing Dynasty = China?
Just seeing you have been so keen on editing China-related topic, I would like to ask your view about whether Qing Dynasty is considered as China (for pre-1911 topics). I have been trying to correct the Mongolia article and state that was part of China before 1911, but it has been repeatedly reverted by editors there who claim "Mongolia was not part of China", "Qing=China is a POV", etc. What do you make of that?--Da Vynci (talk) 00:06, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello. You are right that reverting edits by banned users is an exception to the 3RR thing. Can you provide anything simple that would convince someone not already familiar with the case that Baksando is Instantnood? Gimmetrow 00:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Sending private mail. I don't want to give away too many gimme's on ID'ing his sock or he'll change them. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- The user has taken it to ANI so I thought I would let you know. Law type! snype? 01:02, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
I can't say I find the info fully persuasive, but it's plausible enough. So, I am declining a 3RR block. Anyone who does want to block Schmucky over an alleged 3RR does not have my permission to reverse my action as first-reviewer. I don't necessarily find it wise to always revert every edit by a banned users, but it is currently allowed. Gimmetrow 01:10, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Putting up with users who've been through Arbcom three times and innumerous and progressive community bans leading to a permanent one is not wise. The only way to make them go away is to remove their contributions and stop giving them attention. As long as he thinks he can stir the pot, he'll do it again. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- When I first saw the AIV report, I thought it had some indications of being a setup. However, you somewhat fell into it by reverting to the redlink rather than fixing it in some way. That's what I'm saying. Gimmetrow 01:18, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Template revisions
Gday Schmucky. I thought it only polite to let you know I partially reverted your edits to Template:HongKong-film-director-stub and Template:Macau-museum-stub. I kept your categorizations under People's Republic of China, but also re-added the seemingly-disputed categorizations under Asia. One is a political fact, the other is a geographic fact; keeping both categorizations is good for users and will hopefully cause the least offence to the most parties. Happy editing... • Lainagier • talk • 03:19, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

User Baksando and Mainland China
Why are you deleting the talk page edits by User:Baksando? He seems to be asking a perfectly legitimate question. Readin (talk) 17:12, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Short answer. Because it is a sockpuppet of User:Instantnood and the banning policy allows it, because any contribution is unwanted, including talk pages.
- Long answer: an innocent question will devolve into badgering. He'll ask a question, as if he doesn't already know the answer. When someone responds he'll keep beating on every shortcoming in the answer all the while promoting his right answer, which he didn't propose in the initial question.
- I used to leave talk pages when reverting him. I stopped because it just became an outlet for belligerence. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Request to participate in University of Washington survey based on ideas gathered during the Wikipedia focus group you attended
Hello again! As we mentioned when you attended our focus group back in April, our goal was to use your feedback to help design an embedded application that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what you thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you.
To take the survey, click this link.
Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.
Even if you are unable or unwilling to take this survey, we want to thank you for attending our focus group. Your generous contribution of your time and ideas was greatly appreciated! Commprac01 (talk) 21:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I created the article Salvo (magazine) and you tagged it for CSD but I did not receive a notice. This can be enabled by checking that radio button looking thing that will: "Notify user (if possible)." This can be very irritating sometimes if a notice is not received, so for the future please notify the user through that button. I don't see why not. And by the way, could you tell me how to italicize a article title like in Salvo (magazine)? Because I've never had to itaiclze an article title before. Thank you. --How may I serve you?

Da Vynci
User:Da Vynci went around in the past week and changed numerous Hong Kong related articles again to fit his POV. He must be watched very closely. He is even uncomfortable saying Jackie Chan is "Chinese". Colipon+(Talk) 08:16, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
- I were to leave a message to SchmuckyTheCat regard him keep reverting others edits, and then I saw this. Colipon, you sneak behind my back and asked people to watched me? I edit with respect to reference and NPOV. You seems have strong POV whenever u see facts regarding Hong Kong's long existing presence on international community with identity on its own right being included in wikipedia articles. You even have problem when people mentioned Hong Kong is autonomous. You have already misrepresented me and personally attracked me in more than one occasions. I would like to remind you that Wikipedia:Stalking#Wikihounding is an offensive behaviour and not accepted in wikipedia. Da Vynci (talk) 23:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Da Vynci, you are a disruptive editor. [1] is a misleading edit summary, designed to cover up that you simply reverted several days backwards in the article history. You clobbered other editors contributions in your zeal to restore what you liked. I will "stalk" you, and I have looked at your edits skeptically for months before Colipon asked me to, as you have proven that you cannot edit without soapboxing and without disrupting the collaborative process. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- My view is that Da Vynci's edits on all Hong Kong-related articles very clearly reflect a political POV, and as such must cease. I agree with you that his use of misleading edit summaries have been quite prevalent. On the Jackie Chan article, for example, he changes "Chinese" to "Hong Kong" using a summary that said "He released Mandarin and Japanese albums". Colipon+(Talk) 21:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

List of sovereign states
That's what I wanted to talk to you about here, as you can't or didn't want to provide any explaination when u revert other's edit. So here I ask u again, since both Mainland & Taiwan was parts of ROC since years b4 1949, the country ROC didn't "relocate", it just moved the capital & the gov HQ from a place in China to the another place in China. Why u keep deleting the word "capital" in that sentence?
I am trying to work things out with you, reverting other's edits repeatedly without explaination and accusing people, who simply have different opinion with you, describing them as "disrupting" , isn't going to help the whole collobrative process. Da Vynci (talk) 23:43, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- When you make a revert with a misleading edit summary, that is disruptive.
- When you delete third party contributions while making your revert, that is disruptive.
- When you purposefully choose poor sources because they back up your POV, that is disruptive.
- When you filibuster talk pages defending your bad sources, that is disruptive.
- I'm not going on. You are disruptive and you do not respect the collaborative process. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- I see, so basically whenever you see people who include facts and information that you doesn't suit your political taste, you simply fail to reason and resort to just call them disruptive or other inflammatory names u could think of. BTW, didn't they blocked Wikipedia in China, how could you edit here so frequently everyday? Da Vynci (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Putting general issues aside, thanks for eventually landing on a consensus in the List of sovereign states. Da Vynci (talk) 00:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I will not tolerate your revising my reasonable edits in your efforts to slant wikipedia pages towards your own biased agenda. What administrative steps may I take to complain regarding the above?
- Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. You should probably start complaining about me on either the vandalism reporting board at WP:AIV, the adminstrator's noticeboard for intolerable incidents at WP:ANI or you can complain about my suppression of your beliefs because of edit warring at WP:AN3. It is your choice. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Oh, I forgot one that you might find relevant. If my behavior towards you has just been plain rude, you can complain at WP:WQA. You might want to try to report at all four of these places. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
Thank you for the reply, and the links. I do sense, though, that your reply is a bit smug and disingenuous.

Reversion of Template:Television in the People's Republic of China
Hi, why do you revert my revision of Template:Television in the People's Republic of China? Is there anything wrong with it? I dont think so from my point of view at the moment. The group1 of that template do embraces those stuff with regard to the information for mainland China. And there are some regional based television stations, of provinces or cities. Forgive my impolite manner, but could you please provide me the reason for that reversion? Thank you-Wo.luren (talk) 15:03, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Mainland China in this usage is regional (HK/MO/TW) usage of the term. Wikipedia is written from a global perspective. From the global perspective, there is plain old China and the special case areas around it. It is inappropriate to use the regional term in this template. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 20:47, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I am a little bit confused. What do you mean by the term "regional"? Is it the word that only people in China uses or that "mainland China" is an sub-district with in China? If you meant the latter, there are actually other terms, "Hong Kong" and "Macau", written in the template. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wo.luren (talk • contribs) 23:56, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- The country name is China. The country television stations are located in China. That HK and MO have special status doesn't change the name of the country. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 01:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Regarding this and this—if you want to allege that this IP is a banned user, then you need to demonstrate that this is the case and not just revert comments which are otherwise productive.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. –xenotalk 13:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm disruptive?
You reverted me here; why do you say that I'm banned and disruptive? Nyttend (talk) 22:32, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- Not you, the one you were responding to. I was closing the whole discussion. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

In regards to this user, how are you reporting your suspicion of a sockpuppet? Are you opening a CheckUser or another investigation at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations ? I reverted his removal of the "sockpuppet" template and told him to keep it up until the investigation is finished. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:51, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- His IP changes a few times a week. It isn't necessary to open a new SSI every time a banned user gets a new IP or Wikipedia would die of process overload. One or two of the latest run of IP addresses was already blocked by a CU. The string of IP addresses just continues conversations started by the last IP. If you follow the IP history, you'll see the already blocked addresses. If you want the "omg, this is so obvious I don't even need a CU to understand" evidence, use the emailuser function and I'll show you. I don't want to make it public, because he'll change his tactics. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- So I can get a better understanding of the disruptive user, please user the emailuser function to show the evidence. Thanks :) WhisperToMe (talk) 23:35, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for e-mailing that. I can't believe he had been doing that stuff since 2004.
- Has anyone tried to contact his ISP? Or does he keep switching ISPs?
- WhisperToMe (talk) 05:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
- I think the primary ISP is always Netvigator, a large (largest?) ISP in HK. He also uses other IPs though, some very strange ones in fact, so there may be some proxying or other stuff going on. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

He has re-added a deleted comment via another IP at this link, which I had reverted afterwards. He must really be desperate if he resorts to different ISPs/IPs/Proxies/etc each time he edits. Sb617 (Talk) 12:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Move question
Please assist Re:Talk:The_in_Sound_from_Way_Out!#Move.3F. First off, I apologize for moving this page without looking at the talk. Furthermore, why do you think "in" should be capitalized? It's only two letters and it seems to me like WP:CAPS and WP:MUSTARD would advise against it being capitalized; is it because it's an adjective? Anyway, please post to that discussion and preferably my talk (although I understand if you don't want to bounce back and forth between all of these pages.) Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Instantnood
Hi there. Is this IP, 112.118.149.119 (talk · contribs), Instantnood? Just wondering since it seems that you've had some previous experiences with him or her. Elockid (Talk) 21:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Some questionable edits, but there are a few that make me think it is not. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Okay, thanks. Elockid (Talk) 21:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Also, he is currently attempting to proxy on a /24 at 61.18.170.0. That doesn't preclude using other IPs, but that one looks like one person on a single IP for a few days. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- I was actually contemplating blocking that range earlier today when some IPs on that range was editing and/or reinstating some of the same edits as 112.118.163.236 (talk · contribs). But it seemed so busy that I wasn't too sure if it was just Instantnood or if there were other users online. Hopefully the 3 hour block will be enough. Elockid (Talk) 21:45, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
- Three hours will cover it, unless he figures he can go for it again when the block is over because he has found a safe spot... I'm looking at IPs there and close to a third have some sort of long term block history. I know it's hard to get the right balance between allowing anons from that ISP and blocking disruption but it sure looks like a popular spot for other disruptors. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Confused
Could you explain this? Is there something I'm missing? –xenotalk 03:54, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- Banned users don't get to participate in discussions. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Ah, didn't realize it was a known user. Thanks, –xenotalk 12:41, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Unexplained reverts
Can you explain why you have reverted a number of edits that I have made? 112.118.149.119 (talk) 16:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- Because they were unreferenced, incorrect, inaccurate, non-neutral or otherwise problematic. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Could you explain in further details? In what way are they incorrect, inaccurate, non-neutral or problematic? 112.118.149.119 (talk) 17:51, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
HK-film-director-stub
I am afraid I have reverted your edit on SFD. Cinema of China and cinema of HK are separate threads of Chinese language cinema, at least until very recently. 112.118.149.119 (talk) 23:50, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- A week ago I was asked if you were the same as banned User:Instantnood who was currently causing trouble on a different IP range [2]. I was fairly certain you were not because of differences in editing style working with tables [3] and that you approached, but did not really go over the line [4] of making disruptive edits of the type that Instantnood does. In the last few days however; your edits and the other IP addresses which are confirmed to be Instantnood have overlapped, [5] [6] to the point that you are reverting people who reverted the other IP range. It is awfully convenient for you to take up the other IP addresses issues a few hours after the other address was banned. I do not believe this is simple common interest. You are either sharing a computer/IP address so some of his edits come from your IP, and/or you are in direct communication and acting as puppets for each other, and/or you have decided to follow other editors (myself [7] and others) and re-engage in his revert wars [8] [9] over POV issues in the same manner that he does. These are all behaviors that will get you banned on Wikipedia. I highly suggest, if you are not Instantnood, you create a username and make a decision to use your time on Wikipedia constructively instead of engaging in combative behaviors. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- I thought users are free to decide to register for accounts or not, and this is indeed a funny reason to invite someone to register for an account. I don't know what you are talking about, but I'm interesting to know which articles you are referring to. In the meantime I have reverted your edit. By common sense I believe it is more natural for you to put forward your suggestion, rather than modifying someone else's edits. 112.118.149.119 (talk) 00:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- How can you make changes to your original posts after I have replied? [10] Do you know what etiquette is? 112.118.149.119 (talk) 00:59, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

- So your reply would have been different when faced with obvious malfeasance? SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

"Subnational", "{{flag|Hong Kong}}, China"
[11] Could you please elaborate why you said Hong Kong is "subnational", and why it should be presented as {{flag|Hong Kong}}, China? Is there any precedance on Wikipedia to present other non-independent countries with the same format? If yes, could you show them to me? And in the meantime could you halt your drive? 112.118.149.119 (talk) 01:29, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- [12] Please stop now. Is it your habit not to cooperate with anybody? I thought Wikipedia is a place for consensus. 112.118.149.119 (talk) 01:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- [13] Do you actually got any intention to stop? It appears that you're the one who's so keen to revert warring. Your behavioural patten is nothing different from the IP address that you complained. 112.118.149.119 (talk) 02:11, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
- Yes. The repeated POV re-organization of lists that place Hong Kong outside China has subjected previous editors to blocks and bans for disruption. I'm convinced you know this already. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)
- Can you elaborate? From what I observed almost all articles and lists with sections sort by country are placing Hong Kong outside of China. All, basically, except for those you have edited. 112.118.149.119 (talk) 02:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
