User talk:AirBa~enwiki

Welcome!

Hi AirBa, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Resizing

My pleasure; it's getting to be an interesting article. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:36, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Baidu Baike censorship

It's quite scary, I searched for 民主 (democracy) and now the site is blocked! Before that I tried searching for ６月４日, but that just invited me to write an article. I've changed the reference in the Wikipedia article to Tiananmen Square massacre, which is how it's known in the English-speaking world, as some readers might not realise the significance of 4 June. Baike does have an article on Taiwan, but presumably either without political content, or taking the official Chinese line (unfortunately I can't read Chinese). I can't try anything else for the moment, I'll have to wait until they let me back on! JRawle (Talk) 13:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

PS it was working again, and 法轮功 is blocked.

...attemps from some domain...? Are you saying that from some parts of the world, it doesn't block people who search for "democracy", etc? It blocks me and I'm in the UK!

As an aside, it doesn't block attempts to search for terms in traditional Chinese. Searching for Falungong in traditional Characters leads to an editing page! JRawle (Talk) 18:22, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

JMS

Hi AirBa. I saw that you have edited Jung Myung Seok articles on English/Chinese wikipedia. Thanks for that, especially the news article - it's always great to have stuff translated over to English. I've been expanding the JMS page over the last 2 months or so (and I've made Providence (religion), EXODUS (NGO) and GACP). I was hoping you could help work on the article, especially to watch over it to help deal with disputes that have been arising and will probably continue to arise. I don't want to have to deal with the disputes on my own. Thanks a lot! RB972 17:44, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Great. Thanks. RB972 09:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AirBa. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AirBa~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
