==FC Seoul==
Stating that Seoul is the capital most populous city in South Korea is irrelevant to the article

Not Seoul FC / FC Seoul is correct.

This is just your opinion, Seoul is the capital and most populous city these expression is just explanaion of Seoul
If don't use This expression OR If you thhis expression, Both are right. But foreigners don't know seoul in detail
So I think these expression is needed,

== Request for Comment on Mitt Romney ==
Hi Curb Chain.
I was looking through the volunteers at Mediation Cabal and saw in your edit history that you have touched up some political-related articles recently so thought you could give me the best measured opinion on this edit proposal here: [[Talk:Mitt_Romney#Mitt_Romney_was_technically_registered_as_a_Democrat_for_a_brief_time|Mitt Romney was technically registered as a Democrat for a brief time]]. I am a casual wiki editor and do not have the energy to continually answer new (rephrased) objections thrown my way; consequently, I'm at the point where i feel this wiki editing business is beyond help or reason. To be clear, I haven't made any edits to the main article but only made a proposal to change the article on the discussion page. Seeing that you have earned some praise from the coordinators of Mediation Cabal makes me comfortable to make a decision to continue or to acquiesce based on your advice here. What's funny is that I thought this would be a routine ''encounter with new information, achieve consensus on a proposed edit and add the citation'' wiki edit. Not so.

== [[Cuckoo Clock]] ==
Thanks for your great edits on this article. Really made things better. There's an issue on this page where user Jadf88 feels that the certification section should be deleted and made into a stand alone stub, which he has done, and been subsequently undone. He hasn't cited a reason for the stub generation. Could I ask you to have a look and put your opinion in? It is now posted for 3O (Third opinion) to resolve this matter. See the talk page of the article. [[User:Black Stripe|Black Stripe]] ([[User talk:Black Stripe|talk]]) 07:22, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

==Concerning formatting on the ''SYTYCD'' franchise index==

Hey Curb. I felt I was a little more strident than I needed to be on the ''[[So You Think You Can Dance]]'' talk page and edit summaries for the most recently debated issue. For reasons completely unrelated to you, I find myself being a bit short on that page this last week. I thought moving the discussion here (or to my talk page if you prefer) and employing some visual aids might help this get hammered out faster. So I'm going to create some screenshots, sample code and notes to illustrate what I'm getting at, but please give me a day or so to get it all together. In the meantime my arguments can be found in detail on the afore-mentioned talk page, though they basically boil down to the following: A) the majority of displays benefit from the width syntax being present, B) there are no real drawbacks including to the syntax (the very narrow displays will be messed up regardless of what we do, and the wider ones will work either way), C) the additional syntax is pretty minimal (11 characters at present) and well-justified for the benefits, and, lastly, D) syntax should be kept as clean as possible, but cleanliness of the markup has to take a back seat to cleanliness on the displayed page, rather than the other way around. I will attempt to show you why the debated piece of syntax best serves these priorities tomorrow. In the meantime I just wanted to touch bases briefly to assure you I'm not trying to arbitrary or dismissive of your approach.

::Hey, screencaps as requested. Here's the first: [[:File:Talk,SYTYCD_-_CleanTable.jpeg|this is my idea of what the table should ideally look like, in terms of the relative dimensions of the columns/rows]]. This is the version that should currently display, assuming a minimum font size of 13 and a screen aspect ratio of 4:5. Since few monitors will have resolutions with a smaller relative width, this means almost all PC monitors will display the table with a short profile; notice what I meant about a minimum amount of "real-estate" being used, as each row has an absolute minimum number of lines. Now here are the examples of the issues I was running into without the extra 1%: [[:File:Talk,SYTYCD_-_Table_overflow_example_1.jpg|Notice the issues in the "hosts" column here]], and [[:File:Talk,SYTYCD_-_table_overflow_example_2.jpg|the "channels" column here]]. Now these are just some example rows from two of the columns from various attempts to balance the table - changing almost any of the other columns by more than a few points of width (or in some cases, by even one) will lead to similar artifacts in other columns from which the extra space is "taken". I believed at the time that we started debating this that there was no way to keep all of the columns formatted with a minimum profile without that extra 1% of table space, but it turns out I was wrong; as I noted on the talk page, there actually is a way to get the "ideal" version to format at ratios down to 4:5 ''with'' a font of up to 13 (people who have higher fonts forced on their browsers will just have to deal with the overflow, since this is the absolute best that can be done with the space available. In the past I was able to maintain it at up to 14-pt. font, but we're well past that now. If you have any further questions/ideas, drop me a line on my talk page.

==Request==
I have a specific issue with anon IP editing to the [[Sylosis]] article. As usual it is [[WP:GENRE WARRIOR|genre warring]]. Band is sourced as a number of specific genres in [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], but a number of anon IPs seem to want to draw me into a slow-motion edit war. Obviously, I am unprepared to do this, so your input would be welcomed; a general revert to sourced content and semi-protection strikes me as appropriate, but that is an admin decision to make. Cheers in advance, 20:37, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

== Discussion input request ==

Hi,

Last month I moved the list of [[experimental metal]] artists to its [[list of experimental metal artists|own list]]. Some of the entries have been challenged, and the discussion has stalled, as only me and the challenging editor have commented. I really don't care if the entries stay or are removed, I just want to get some third opinions. Check the [[Talk:List of experimental metal artists|talk page]] for the discussion.

Thanks, --[[User:3family6|<font color="navy">&iquest;3fam</font>]]'''''[[User talk:3family6|<font color="black">ily6</font>]]''''' <sub>[[Special:Contributions/3family6|<font color="purple">contribs</font>]]</sub> 20:14, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

== Declining 3Os ==

Hey, Curb Chain, I saw that you declined a 3O request earlier, and I just wanted to remind you that, if you do decline a request, you should leave a note explaining that you have done so and why on the disputed talk page, or alternately the requester's talk page. That way, they're not just sitting around for the rest of eternity waiting for a 3O that'll never come, if they forgot to put the 3O board on their watchlist. Thanks!

== 3O declined ==


Hello Curb Chain, and thanks for leaving a comment at my talk page. It is now clear that I didn't fully understand what vandalism is and what [[WP:3O]] is about. I would not repost my issue at 3O, since I got the point that it is about content dispute only.

I've talk to [[User: Writ Keeper|Writ Keeper]] and tried to explain my situation at his talk page [[User_talk:Writ_Keeper#3O_declined]]. First of all, I was not trying to demand something unreasonable. I assumed that 3O is a informal channel, and thought that it is a good place to ask for help.

Regarding the dispute that I'm in now, I'm not confronting with another user's contribution with my own POV. I believe that I have provided a ''sensible'' way-out at [[Talk: List of naval battles#Japan defeated Korean navy]]: that is, "Please try to find a consensus at ''each battle'' page, not at the [[List of naval battles]]".

I could try my best to deliver my intention, but from my perspectives the IP refused my suggestion just because I'm from Korea and accused me of ''being nationalistic'' (however I may try it politely). Thus, I needed a third opinion in a ''informal'' manner. And I still need ''any'' help on that unresolved issue, and I would appreciate your input if you could provide a helping hand here. Best,

P.S. by the way, many thanks for your ''feedback''! I think declined request is better than no feedback. ---[[User:PeanutbutterjellyTaco|PBJT]] ([[User talk:PeanutbutterjellyTaco|talk]]) 10:34, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

== Many thanks for your comment! ==


Hello again Curb Chain, and thanks for your comment at my talk page. I really appreciate your help, and I think what you suggested is a ''logical'' thing to do. Although I didn't get any comment at the article's talk page, people at [[WP:3O]] have provided me enough tips and I'm grateful to all your feedback.

If I may add some minor detail, however, I don't see the issue as "content dispute" only. (the very reason why my request was declined.) The [[List of naval battles]] is not the only page that I have reverted [[User: 115.65.37.217]]'s ([[User talk: 115.65.37.217|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/115.65.37.217|contribution]]) contribution. And I believe that some of the "ip"'s contributions are not neutral:

{{collapse top}}
* [[Japan-Korea disputes]]: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Japan%E2%80%93Korea_disputes&diff=493351667&oldid=492858208 first edit], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Japan%E2%80%93Korea_disputes&diff=prev&oldid=495733883 second edit] for removing [[Hangul]] names for [[Zainichi Koreans]] (Korean Japanese).
* [[Hata clan]]: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gy%C5%8Dki&diff=492177634&oldid=490861366 first edit], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hata_clan&diff=494947573&oldid=493458969 second edit] for using non-neutral word.
* [[Naval history of Japan]]: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Naval_history_of_Japan&diff=494946332&oldid=494331006 first edit], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Naval_history_of_Japan&diff=494947962&oldid=494946416 second edit] for including inaccurate historical fact.


As for the [[List of naval battles]] page, the Korean navy's commander name in question was included as early as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_naval_battles&diff=prev&oldid=173089100 November 2007] and the conclusion of [[Battle of Busan (1592)]] was added in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_naval_battles&diff=prev&oldid=21143041 August 2005].

For the record, only [[Japan-Korea disputes]] was on my watch list at first, and I found other pages ([[List of naval battles]], [[Hata clan]] and [[Naval history of Japan]]) while I was checking the "ip"'s contributions. From the very beginning, I made it clear that I'm not a history buff. And it is not my ''job'' to search the history to provide a counter example to the "ip"'s claim: I just ''undid'' the contribution, and the ip should prove him right to correct an possible error. In short, I just patrolled the articles for possible vandalism.

I hided some of my comments because I'm not asking for your involvement or help. I think you have done more than enough for me from your feedback, and once again thank you for your help.

I would like to ask you intervention in the article [[Sakib]], so that you treat the article in the same fashion you treated the article [[Souf]].

To make your intervention balanced, I kindly request that you impose the same criteria you applied to [[Souf]] article to [[Sakib]] article.

==[[List of gothic rock bands]]==
Hi there, it's me again. There is some minor kerfuffel (is that how that's spelt? I've never written it down) over at the above linked article. Essentially it is one concerning sourcing; we have a new editor that is of the True Goff Is the Only Goff variety (you know, like the metal purists and punk purists that turn up on other lists). Unfortunately, this means that they don't really acknowledge that other viewpoints may exist (my opinion is irrelevant, obviously, but for the record I'm a tradgoth type of person, much like said editor, but realise that other viewpoints exist in [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] in the press; they however have perhaps just jumped on my username and made some assumptions). Sourced material is systematically removed with no reference to policy (well, apart from the fact that they disagree with [[WP:V]], [[WP:NPOV]] and [[WP:RS]] in general), and whilst I have tried to remain civil in the light of a fair amount of abuse, I've left a final message at the bottom of the talk page with a solution that we've adopted at other contentious articles, e.g. the [[list of nu metal bands]]. I don't anticipate much positive reaction, but I did say I'd ask some other editors to look at it, particularly editors that I haven't always seen eye to eye with in the past, so as to avoid accusations of gaming the system. I thought you'd fit the bill as we've frequently disagreed about things but seem to be able to work together pretty well to improve the project :-) I'd appreciate it if you could spare some time to take a look, as I'm not going to commit a [[WP:3RR]] violation and I'm not getting anywhere through dialogue with this particular editor.

== Asperger's Syndrome Article ==

I write this section to complain against SandyGeorgia, apparently a well-reputed Wikipedia editor who has nevertheless modified the Asperger's Syndrome article in a rather uncivilized manner, doing away with most -if not all- my contributions to said article, all of which were found within the "Mechanism" section thereof. For one I ought to express my concern insofar as I had performed such contributions from a well-informed perspective, as I'm legitimately informed on the issue of Asperger's Syndrome, having done extensive research on the topic, and yet this user, SandyGeorgia, acting in apparent disdain for knowledge, perhaps in a personal tone, had turned the article's modifications into a confounded "edition war". From this I ascribe not to generalize in believing that this sort of users are blocking the influx of knowledgeable content and substituting it with rather misinformed and inexperienced contributions. I request for an explanation, if possible, and for a reinvindication of my previous contributions. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:AFOH|AFOH]] ([[User talk:AFOH|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AFOH|contribs]]) 04:28, 21 July 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hey,

I noticed you closed the DRN I posted as "wrong venue". I'm wondering why you say its the wrong venue since [[WP:DR]] says "''The Dispute resolution noticeboard can help diffuse small content and conduct issues''". Also, I tried to get a third opinion, but was told thats not the proper venue for conduct issues. All that said, I'd appreciate if you (or someone) could look over our disagreements on his talk page, because I'm not sure how to resolve this problem.

Thanks for your help on tidying up my edits on Human Swimming.

== Information ==

In this thread: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=509705165#Easy_solution:_Try_a_short_ban

At an article's Talk page, an editor responded to a difficult editor with a *VERY* strong statement, and so that thread at AN/I began with people trying to decide how to deal with it. I made a suggestion in that section that says 'try a short ban', and several editors responded in an unfriendly way. BYK made an argument against me participating in the debate because he feels my edits have not yet earned me the right to have an opinion. You can read the thread for yourself. (By the way the curse words in 5th paragraph of that subsection that I say are quoting the editor who the entire thread is about; they are not really directed at BYK, I believe he knows that clearly, and if you read the thread as a whole it should be clear that its being said to demonstrate a point rather than to be rude.)

So that's why I later [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Beyond_My_Ken&direction=prev&oldid=509825900#Down_to_brass_tacks asked for his opinion] and then later still asked him to refrain from saying anything if he wouldn't be willing to back it up with some helpful information. -- [[User:Avanu|Avanu]] ([[User talk:Avanu|talk]]) 14:09, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

== Failed verification ==

If you didn't know, failed verification is not a good reason to delete claims and their cited sources, as you did at [[Crocs]]. When the sources are clearly relevant to the article (about Crocs, or discuss Crocs), one helpful way to handle a verification failure is the {{tl|Failed verification}} inline template. Also, the claims can be rewritten to ''be'' supported by the sources.

Hey, Curb Chain, I noticed that you removed a request for a 3O about a dispute in which you were involved. Just a suggestion: maybe don't do that in the future, please? If a 3O request is inappropriate, it'll get removed by someone else; if you do it, it could look like you're trying to stifle discussion. I mean, given the nature of 3O, it's not like it's a bad thing to request one, or a complicated process requiring consent from everyone like medcom.

::Where else did he place a request? DRN? I didn't see any, but I was late to the party, so maybe I missed it when I glanced through his contribs. Keep in mind, though, that 3O can't be forum-shopping if the discussion hasn't been taken anywhere but the talk page; otherwise, 3O (and the entirety of DR, really) would always be forum-shopping.

::::::So? Sure, it's a bit out-of-process, and the request would probably be denied, but I'd hardly call it disruptive or forum-shopping. I'm not trying to bust your balls about this or anything, I just personally think that unless a request is ''clearly'' trollish or otherwise seriously disruptive (and I don't see how this could be considered such), it should at least be given a look at by an ''uninvolved'' 3Oer as a serious request before it's accepted or rejected. My point is that the request sitting there isn't doing any harm, so just let it sit there until someone else takes a look at it. Even just the appearance of neutrality in the process could be a significant benefit, without any real harm. That's all!

And that made him a seriously disruptive troll/vandal? I mean, was that just a poor choice of words or what? We get 3O requests when there's been no discussion all the time, it's not disruptive. Maybe if someone uninvolved had removed it and he kept adding it back in, but other than that...we just politely decline and send them on their way. I'm just trying to figure out your thought processes; I just don't think it's a good idea to treat such things as seriously disruptive or trolling.

Because of your interest in dispute resolution,, I am inviting you to comment on the following RfC:

'''[[Talk:Monty Hall problem#Conditional or Simple solutions for the Monty Hall problem?]]'''

This dispute has been going on for over ten years and there have been over 1,300,000 words posted on the article talk page (by comparison, all of the Harry Potter books together total 1,084,170 words). Over the years the dispute has been through multiple noticeboards, mediators, and even the Arbitration Committee without resolving the conflict, so a lot of wisdom is needed here. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 00:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

In the grand scheme of things it's certainly nothing important, but the way I was trained in design, to achieve a [[Principles_of_art#Balance|balance]] in a composition; the weight to the left makes me really uncomfortable.

== Pipes in quote template ==

Please don't add useless pipes in {{template|quote}} templates to "move" the citation. The citation should directly follow the quotation, and should not be moved. The ''purpose'' of the pipe is to display the author and/or work which is being quoted. ''If'' something is displayed, ''then'' is it ok to move the citation following that display. It's not okay to put the pipe in for no reason. Here's an example of what the pipe is intended for:

Don't know why you removed the ABC News quote - the only reason I feel it should definitely be restored is the power and symbolism reflected in this particular quote by a major news organization, i.e., the omnipresent impact this phenomenon has exuded.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. To follow up on [[WP:DRSURVEY|the first survey in April]], I am conducting a second survey to learn more about dispute resolution volunteers - their motivations for resolving disputes, the experiences they've had, and their ideas for the future. I would appreciate your thoughts. I hope that with the results of this survey, we will learn how to increase the amount of active, engaged volunteers, and further improve dispute resolution processes. The survey takes around five to ten minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.
'''Please click [https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8DqFIHjEnSANl89 HERE] to participate.'''<br>
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.

== Your problematic editing ==

I just saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=525643678&oldid=525641097#Proposal:_ban_of_Curb_Chain the ban proposal] against you at the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]], and I have to agree with the complaints made about you there. I don't know how you think edits like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grieg%27s_music_in_popular_culture&diff=524930135&oldid=524644561 this] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Designer_drug&diff=520188548&oldid=520187212 this] are acceptable, but they are not. In that first link, not only did you gut the lead and make it so that it does not satisfy [[WP:LEAD]], but you removed validly sourced content with silly rationales. The second link is even worse, because of how you removed medical research supported by great sourcing with a silly rationale. Both of these edits, and ones you've made similar to them, show gross [[WP:COMPETENCE]] issues. The most glaring one is the "dead links" rationale that you use to remove content. See [[WP:Dead link]]. We are not supposed to remove material simply because it's currently supported by one or more dead links. These links were not always dead, of course. You are first and foremost supposed to check and see if the link(s) can be restored. Clearly, you haven't heard of [[Internet Archive]], which is where you are supposed to look in cases like those. Further, speculation is perfectly acceptable in Wikipedia articles...as long as it's reliably sourced and is given [[WP:DUE WEIGHT]], is not [[WP:FRINGE]] in a way that it shouldn't be given any weight at all, or is not a [[WP:BLP]] violation. Some Wikipedia science articles, for example (the [[Big Bang]] article being one), are full of speculation -- reliably sourced speculation. You have also most certainly referred to [[WP:SELFREF]] wrongly time and time again. Many Wikipedia articles direct readers to other sections in the article by stating "see [so and so section] above" or "see [so and so section] below," or simply "see above" or "see below," or by just linking to those sections without any accompanying words, and these include [[WP:GA]] and [[WP:FA]] articles. This practice is very much allowed on Wikipedia, not to mention in scholarly texts all the time. Readers may skip to a section and overlook details on something that is mentioned earlier or later in an article, which is why such a "see [so and so]" practice is allowed. And, lastly, just because not every line in a paragraph has the reference beside it...that does not mean that the line is not sourced; having one source that supports the entire paragraph placed at the end of the paragraph is done all the time on Wikipedia and is perfectly acceptable, per [[Wikipedia:Citation overkill|WP:Overreferencing]]. Looking at your archives, I also see that you've been pointed to the "''If instead you think the material is verifiable, it is better to [[WP:PRESERVE|try to provide an inline citation yourself]] before considering whether to remove or tag it.''" line of [[WP:BURDEN]], but apparently have been ignoring it. I'm sure that you don't think that all the stuff you've been removing can't be reliably sourced.

You need a [[WP:MENTOR]] a.s.a.p., as was mentioned to you before (looking at your archives). Either that, or you do indeed need a [[WP:RFC/U]] filed against you. Your currently clean blocklog means nothing to me, as problematic Wikipedia editors have gone without being blocked for years before their problematic edits were called into question and/or stopped.

:<u>Spare me</u>. When links are "see ..." the material should be split into another article. That contravenes [[WP:OVERLINK]]. If information is unsourced, it is WITHIN POLICY to remove it.[[User:Curb Chain|Curb Chain]] ([[User talk:Curb Chain#top|talk]]) 06:45, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

::[Same IP from bove] Riiight, because all IPs who know their way around Wikipedia are registered users (sarcasm).

::Spare me as well because you barely know what you are talking about on these matters. No...when links are "see [so and so]," it does not mean that the article should be split into another article, and it's troubling that you would think that. What should and should not be split into a separate article is based on [[WP:SIZE]], and even that is not binding. There is no policy or guideline against using "see [so and so]," and it's used for the reasons I've stated; it is not in any way overlinking if done correctly. In fact, WP:OVERLINK states "''Do not link to pages that [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] back to the page the link is on (unless the link is to a [[WP:redirects with possibilities|redirect with possibilities]] that links to an appropriate ''section'' of the current article).''" See where it says "'''unless the link is to a [[WP:redirects with possibilities|redirect with possibilities]]'''" for the part that I bolded? It also states, "''Generally, a link should appear only '''once''' in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes|infoboxes]], tables, image captions, [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Footnotes|footnotes]], and at the first occurrence after the lead.''" Do you know what else it states? No, I don't think you do...because there is also the [[Wikipedia:OVERLINK#Piped links to sections of articles|'''Piped links to sections of articles''' section]]. So, yes, you are wrong. And as for removing anything that is unsourced, what I stated has clearly gone over your head. The wording that states that it is "better to try to provide an inline citation yourself before considering whether to remove or tag [unsourced material]" is also a part of the WP:BURDEN policy. If you are so convinced that anything that is unsourced should be removed, let's see you go around and blank out entire articles, including ones mostly supported by dead links, and see how long that type of editing of yours lasts. I'm surprised that you've lasted this long with your problematic editing. Things supported by dead links usually aren't unsourced because those references usually still exist. Read WP:Dead link. You are supposed to take yourself to the Internet Archive and refresh them; any experienced, truly experienced, Wikipedia editor will tell you that.

::Once again, you have shown a severe lack of understanding of the way Wikipedia is supposed to work, and have very likely disregarded everything I've stated to you just so you can continue on with your damaging editing without having to face the fact that it is indeed damaging.
