Park golf

Many of the oddities in the Park golf article can be explained by an infestation of trolls. Try not to let them get to you. You may want to find other articles that interest you and do not have an abundance of trolls. RJFJR 17:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thank you for this comment. I like park golf, so I'm sad to let it go because trolls are haters. Captain Ironspine 13:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I wish I could help you. The best way I know to deal with troublesome sorts is just to treat them as though they are genuinely trying to be helpful--even if it seems clear that they are not. If they are trolls, then this isn't the response they want, and if they aren't trolls, then this is the response they deserve. Sometimes it's hard to keep cool; at such times it's best to take a break for a few days before trying again. Just don't let it get to you. After all, everything we do here is just words, however involved in it we get. --Sopoforic 20:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Member template

You may want to consider replacing the Project Banner, which is meant for article talk pages, with the userbox (Template:WPJapan) on your userpage. Ultimately, it's up to you as a user; you're welcome to do whatever you would like. But by having a template meant for articles on userpages, it's just that tiny bit more frustrating and difficult for those of us who are trying to assess and properly banner-label all the Japanese-related articles. Thanks. And happy holidays! LordAmeth 21:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:26, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
