User talk:SummerThunder
Hi SummerThunder, Welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are a few helpful links to start you off: Avoiding common mistakes, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style, Policies and guidelines, Help, Merging pages.
If you need help or are curious about something, feel free to ask on my talk page or the village pump. You can sign your name and a date stamp on comments using four tildes (~~~~). If you have any further questions, feel free to ask, and I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian! Andre (talk) 08:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Your comments on the Village Pump
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. User:Zoe|(talk) 18:35, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Harassment under guise of administrative action
Never mind Zoe's attempt to insult you for bringing your concerns to the Village Pump. The handle's behavior as an administrator in this project has never been cordial. Zoe is one of Wikipedia's many hate-administrators. He or she routinely personnally attacks users invited to edit this encyclopedia, all the while hiding behind the civil cover of ordering people not to make personal attacks. It's as if Zoe thinks Wikipedia was created to generate a pool of people he or she can abuse under color of authority.
Most of us ignore his or her sad behavior. We seldom maintain durable accounts because they just provide fodder for haters like Zoe to attack. The blocks Zoe threatens you with are neither practically or legally enforcable. Some sources have presented evidence that Wikipedia is edited by only a small fraction of registered accounts, but that data is fatally skewed by the fluid nature most users have adopted to avoid being targeted by a few hundred hateful people camped out here among the 1,000 or so administrators. Just realize that whenever you edit Wikipedia, you are in an extremely hostile environment. Far from the picture of stability created by those who use these pages like MySpace.com to create a sense of community, most of us who influence significant controversial articles seldom keep our heads above the ramparts for any longer than necessary to accomplish our mission.

oh, at first, when i read the topic, i thought that it was another warning from another moderators. haha. thanks for the support. I am glad that they are people like you who don't like those dicator-like moderators. thanks. SummerThunder 02:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Despite the person above's single-purpose login to attack me, I will issue you one final warning. One more attack on any other person, zh, meta, here, or anywhere else, and you will be blocked. Do you understand? User:Zoe|(talk) 16:51, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- As an independent administrator I have struck through the provocative comment from a banned account and support the warning from Zoe. You may wish to learn more about how to abide by English language Wikipedia policies by joining the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user program. Although a mentor couldn't address your problems on other Wikimedia projects, a mentor could help you adjust to the way we do things here. Then perhaps down the road when you've become an established user here you could appeal the blocks at Meta and zh.Wikipedia. If you earn the support of other established editors here then those other projects may view your request favorably. If you choose to take this advice then drop me a note in February or March. I'll look over your contributions and maybe put in a good word for you. DurovaCharge! 20:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
what is "personal attack," what is constructive critism? SummerThunder 20:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, accusing people of being Chinese government spies is pretty personal. We have a policy called assume good faith which basically means bad motivations are the last thing we look for rather than good ones. I've made an effort to be constructive by directing you to the program best suited to help you on the English language Wikipedia. I don't have time to answer all of your questions and guide you personally, but they have volunteers over there who are experienced at that sort of thing. Regards, DurovaCharge! 21:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

re: stop reverting
huh? It's other people who're reverting you. I'm not reverting any more, to avoid breaking the Three-Revert Rule. I strongly suggest that you do likewise. -- ran (talk) 02:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- don't you wish that this is the chinese site again. you can randomly block people, delete contents, etc. people will find out the truth! you should have followed the three revert rule on the chinese site long time ago. --SummerThunder 02:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
The English and Chinese Wikipedia operate by the same rules. As such, I suggest that you stop the confrontational behavior which has already gotten you blocked on one Wikipedia. -- ran (talk) 02:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- oh, yea, you are thretening me now? you wish. the English site is MUCH MUCH better than the Chinese. ""But on sensitive questions of China's modern history or on hot-button issues, the Chinese version diverges so dramatically from its English counterpart that it sometimes reads as if it were approved by the censors themselves." in case you didn't read that part. you are just a liar. admit it. --SummerThunder 02:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
okayy...... in case you haven't realized, I'm not threatening you; just like what I tried to do on the Chinese Wikipedia (which you ignored), I'm attempting civil discussion. Also, you reverted what I wrote on the Chinese Wikipedia article about the IHT, yet you accuse me of not having read it? -- ran (talk) 02:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- civil discussion does not involve delete people's comments, votes, contributions. you reverted the truth that i wrote about chinese wiki. trying to cover up the truth won't help. --SummerThunder 02:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I reverted Blocking of Wikipedia in mainland China because what you wrote was not within the scope of the article. As for the Chinese Wikipedia article, it's you reverting my edits; I was adding to yours. Also, I haven't done any reverting on the village pump. -- ran (talk) 02:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Please explain why my latest version of the Chinese Wikipedia article is not as NPOV as the version you just reverted to? -- ran (talk) 05:05, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- why did you bann me on chinese site, and kept my articles? and deleted the reference links which I wrote the article for Tibet history?--SummerThunder 05:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
For the fourth time, you were banned for spamming, for personal attacks, and for refusing to participate in any kind of civil discussion. All of your edits were reverted on sight because you were treated as a vandal. I restored your Tibet edits because I was looking through your edits to see if there was anything to salvage, and liked what you did for Tibet-related articles.
As for the Chinese Wikipedia article, lie or not, that is a direct quotation which is sourced. -- ran (talk) 05:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
AND as for the list of moderators, I moved it up to where the rest of the info about sysops are, I did not delete it. It is you who keep on inserting self-contradicting and outdated info about sysops back into the article. -- ran (talk) 05:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Shouting, the truth, and reversions
On this pair of edits by you: extensive use of FULL CAPITALS is commonly interpreted as the written equivalent of shouting. It's intensified by the liberal application of exclamation points. The more capitals and exclamation points you use, the less persuasive you become.
You're keen to present the truth. However, you need to present verifiable facts. What's written in a blog does not constitute verification.
Please read this carefully, and believe what it says. -- Hoary 05:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
then you should tell the user STOP reverted my contribution several times. ask him to stop doing what he is doing first. --SummerThunder 05:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
3 revert rule violation.
I was going to simply warn you, but I see Hoary kindly did so already. You have violated WP:3RR several times today, the standard punishment for which is a 24 hour block. --tjstrf talk 08:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- I was going to simply warn you, but I see someone has already kindly did so already. You have violated WP:3RR several times today, the standard punishment for which is a 24 hour block. stop reverting my edits unless you have prove that they were not correct. --SummerThunder 08:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- That would be a falsehood, as I have not violated 3RR as I have not exceeded 3 reverts on any page in the last 24 hours. --tjstrf talk 08:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
That would be a falsehood, as I have not violated 3RR as I have not exceeded 3 reverts on any page in the last 24 hours, because I added new information. --SummerThunder 08:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Further conversation here is obviously pointless, but what you added is utterly irrelevant. --tjstrf talk 09:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Further conversation here is obviously pointless, but what you reverted is utterly irrelevant. --SummerThunder 09:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
hm, other people are perfecly capable of having an actual discussion on the zh-wiki issue. Are you actually here for that topic, or just to cause disruption? If you are trying to discuss the topic, how about you just do that calmly and civilly like everyone else. dab (𒁳) 10:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
and who are you? what made you think that "other people" are capable? how many "other people" can you represent?--SummerThunder 10:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- glancing at VP, a dozen or so? dab (𒁳) 10:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
other than "ran" who else?--SummerThunder 10:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Personal attacks
SummerThunder, if you continue your personal attacks against me, tjstrf, and other Wikipedians, such as accusing people of being liars or spies, etc., you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Gunslinger47 has also asked you to refrain from personal attacks on User talk:Tjstrf.
Please take some time to review the No personal attacks policy. -- ran (talk) 23:38, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
if you continue your personal attacks against me, uponsnow, and other Wikipedians who disagree what you are doing, such as accusing people of being racists or liars, etc., you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
many other Chinese wikipedian users have also asked you to refrain from personal attacks on them, and revert their comments and votes on the Chinese page.
Please take some time to review the No personal attacks policy. --SummerThunder 23:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Please provide precise diffs of (i) a personal attack by Ran on you, (ii) a personal attack by Ran on uponsnow, (iii) an accusation by Ran that somebody is a racist, (iv) an accusation by Ran that somebody is a liar, and (v) requests by many other Chinese users of Wikipedia that Ran should refrain from personal attacks on them. Please provide the diffs on this page; we'll all be most interested to see them. Thank you. -- Hoary 00:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC) "provide precise diffs" highlighted 00:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- he accused me vandalizing the chinese site when he himself reverted several of my contributions on the chinese site.
- he called uponsnow a racist.
- why Ran is a liar?
Example 1:
I tried to add information about Falun Gong on 11-22-2006. deleted by another chinese moderator immediatly. I mentioned that on the villiage pump misc area. Only then, On 22:50 2006-12-29, Ran added the word "Falun Gong" in the PR China's article. then he wrote this.
Also, the Chinese Wikipedia article on the People's Republic of China has an entire paragraph on human rights, in which Falun Gong is mentioned as well: [39]. Thus your claim is incorrect. -- ran (talk) 21:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Example 2:
06:27, 30 December 2006 user Ran deleted a part of my comment, then he wrote this.
I reverted your edit here because you removed my comment and replaced it with yours. -- ran (talk) 07:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
but anyone can go to the village pump misc, click on "history" tab, then compare the one I made on 6:23 and yours on 6:27, the only thing was missing are the part that I just wrote, none of his comment was "replaced".
- he and other chinese moderators were constantly deleting my contributions, comments and votes. then tell the whole chinese site that I am "vandalizing."
for example: on 21:57 12 December 2006, Chinese Wikipedia user Hillgentleman reverted all my comments, it was immediatly reverted back by the moderator Jasonzhoucn who constantly deleted my articles, comments and votes.
On 13:35 22 December 2006, another Chinese Wikipedia user - 民國九十五年 wrote a comment supporting my position, it was also immediatly deleted without a trace by moderator Jasonzhoucn.
- There was a vote on striping the moderator Louer's rights on Chinese site, because he was one of the moderators that are very very pro the chinese government, and he constantly abuse his rights. I tried to vote several times. my votes got deleted. my comments were also deleted. because what they did, it appeared as if lots of people are actually supporting louer's abusive behaviors. hence, he is still a moderator even today. and he was also the one who deleted my addition of the "falun gong" on the PR China article on the Chinese site.
--SummerThunder 00:40, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, but please provide precise diffs. (This is an example: it's the precise diff of the edit in which I asked you to provide precise diffs.) -- Hoary 00:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
