Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
You have received these suggestions because we are currently running a study to see if SuggestBot is helpful for newly registered Wikipedia editors. Normally SuggestBot only makes suggestions for users who ask for them explicitly on the SuggestBot request page. We will not post suggestions on your talk page again unless you ask for them. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find a complete consent form with contact information on the SuggestBot Study page.
SuggestBot picks the articles you might be interested in based on the articles you've edited and using a number of different techniques: following links from them to other articles, matching articles based on their content, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedia users. It tries to recommend only articles that others have marked as needing work, such as stub articles that need to be made longer, clean-up articles that need writing help, and so on. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you choose to participate we encourage you to leave feedback on these suggestions, which you can most easily do here by editing your user talk page. We'll stop by later to read them.
Regards, Nettrom (talk), project researcher and SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 20:10, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Revert Made on National Cheng Kung University page
Reason for Revert
An editor writes there is no evidence for my Human Rights abuses comments. Evidence is now added by a member of the NCKU Teacher's Union. But the fact that I won the case is evidence in itself. Editor claims foreign teachers were not protected by the Teachers Law of the ROC. This is contradicted by both court and Ministry of Education (Taipei) rulings. Even if Editor were correct this in itself would prove human rights violations (i.e. discrimination of foreign teachers). So the Editor seems to be admitting what he is denying! These facts can be verified through the ROC Ministry of Education. In addition, this case is fully documented on my blog at http://rdca45.blogspot.com/ --Cincinattus (talk) 18:27, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm not clear what you mean by your Edit revert summary on the NATIONAL CHENG KUNG UNIVERSITY page that the deleted material was "unsourced." The material is fully sourced here http://rdca45.blogspot.com/ If source material is required on the Wikipedia page I'll be happy to oblige. You may also wish to check the Chinese version of that page, if it hasn't been altered yet. I'm not sure what kind of "sourcing" you wish, but whatever you ask for I will give. There are court documents, letters from the Ministry of Education,summaries of the case from the National Cheng Kung University Teachers Union, etc. What other sources are required? The Ministry of Education in Taipei canceled an illegal dismissal on 8 January 2001. It rejected the university's claim that foreign faculty are not protected by the Teachers Law. But even if that were the case it would, ironically, still prove discrimination at NCKU by any reasonable or international standards.--Cincinattus (talk) 10:33, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
- Your own personal blog does not count as a reliable source, sources need to be from reliable third parties, see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources--Jac16888Talk 14:15, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
My Edit on Human Rights Abuses at National Cheng Kung University has been removed several times on the basis of being unsourced. In one edit summary you say that a personal blog is not a source; but there are many public sources (in Chinese) on that blog (http://rdca45.blogspot.com/), regardless whether it's a personal blog or not. Here's a link (http://rdca45.blogspot.com/search/label/Letters%20from%20the%20Ministry%20of%20Education) to one source, letters from the Ministry of Education written over a period of nearly two and a half years urging the university to issue retroactive contracts following a favorable appeal ruling on 8 January 2001. These letters are in both the original Chinese and rough English translations. Surely letters written by an official state agency should be adequate sources, as I understand the word. Please tell me if that source is adequate. If not, what more I can do to confirm my sources and will you accept a Chinese-language source. Thank you.--Cincinattus (talk) 15:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
