Requested Move for Liancourt Rocks

Just a note to thank you for keeping an open mind and taking the time to look at it again. You must have some guts to close that one. Like you seem to have observed, regardless of the way you close it you're going to get a few people who aren't that happy with it when you have that many people expressing opinions. —LactoseTIT 22:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are only happy that the article got moved.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.216.97.220 (talkcontribs).

Your page

Someone did this. I don't understand the edit (??), but reverted it anyway. Have a beautiful day! PeaceNT 04:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, don't mention it. Btw, it wasn't belated congrats, you already congratulated me a few days back (haha!) . Take care, PeaceNT 04:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On your recent move from Dokdo to Liancourt Rocks

The checkuser confirmation that I, Davidpx, Lion369 are sockpuppets has been upturned. I strongly ask that you reconsider your decision. Please check the following link for details:

I'm currently re-reviewing. Thanks for the info. Húsönd 01:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your decision on Dokdo

As a long time editor on this article, I was just surprised to see the decision overturned. All I can see is there was no consensus. Then, after seeing that it would be not possible to move the article to Liancourt Rocks, those editors voted for Liancourt Rocks, mainly Komdori and LactoseIT, demoted every single possible vote for Dokdo and keep insisting their one-sided arguments. Recent news article regarding the vote in a Korean newspaper caused some newly signed and not registered editors to vote for Dokdo, but they were removed well before those accusations and demoting of editors voted for Dokdo began. I'm wondering how much you heard from editors for Dokdo before you overturned your decision. It happened so hastefully and I don't find any sound reason for that. Please let me know where you decision is based on. Ginnre 05:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've completed the data. Talk:Liancourt Rocks/Meat Puppet Data. Thanks. (Wikimachine 16:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I responded there but thought it might be worth noting here to speed things along. Actually, Wikimachine, he asked if there was any data supporting massive sockpuppetry of meatpuppetry on the Liancourt Rocks side, and you have very subjectively analysed the Dokdo group instead. Ultimately, he mentioned concerns with NPOV as well, and you may wish to consider in your analysis that few Dokdo voters had any basis in any policy, just signing or exclaiming, "It's our territory! We get to name it!" or some such thing, which is not how the policies work on naming.
I think he was asking for something clearcut, like a sockpuppetry case or even stronger evidence along those lines that there was massive fraud on the one side. There wasn't, so there isn't. --Cheers, Komdori 18:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm re-reviewing my closure yet again. However, I antecipate that I shall not overturn my decision once more. The outcome of this discussion was already complicated before the outspread meat/sockpuppetry accusations from both sides. Didn't get any simpler afterwards. One thing is for certain, the outcome falls right in the borderline of any decision and therefore the final decision will, with regret, be at my discretion. Whatever my decision is it will cause some users to be unhappy so I'll naturally have Wikipedia policies back it, and at this time WP:NPOV is heavily weighing in favor of Liancourt Rocks. Húsönd 01:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, NPOV was the biggest thing among the editors to be discussed or disputed and there was not a consensus about NPOV of the title (28:43). It was not to be simply determined by one person as you did. I don't know whether you have such a authority to decide by yourself, but were it to be decided by one person like this, why would we discuss and try to bring a consensus? Then why did you hear from Komdori and LactoseIT only and didn't wait to hear couple of other opinions? My impression is, your decision is strongly influenced by those two editors. I doubt you ever read a recent article in TIME magazine about this islets where you don't find the term 'Liancourt Rocks' and local english papers usually don't use the term 'Liancourt Rocks'. That is current tendency and the term is a relic from imperialistic expasionism of the 19th century. Anyone is reluctant to use such a term these days except some Japanese people to undermine the status quo of the islets. By any measure, it was too hasteful and the decision was too abrupt. Ginnre 05:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, case closed. Once again, both sides had reasonable arguments but both can't win.--Húsönd 15:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm talking about your hastefulness. Please be more considerate next time you gonna do such a job again. If both had reasonable arguments, it is natural not to change the status quo. Ginnre 06:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was not hasteful. Once again, these things can't last forever. I can't see how a perpetual "status quo" could be any beneficial, it's just a waste of time for everybody.--Húsönd 12:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that you want to defend your decision but your dealing with this case was certainly not wise. Can't you get my point? Ginnre 05:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No I can't. Please get over it. --Húsönd 13:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What's not so clear that you can't get my point? I'm over with it. I'm talking about your role as an administrator and how the whole process went wrong. Don't take it personal. Ginnre 04:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Hi, I don't know if you're aware but the odd two weeks or so maybe I redesigned my userpage and used yours as a base, using a lot of your code and replacing the colors and the text. I wanted to tell you about this and (because of a recent comment made) wanted to ask you if you minded at all. If you have any problem with it I will certainly change the page, and in any event I'll credit you. Thank you. DoomsDay349 22:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! In my RFA a user noted that my "userpage is not your own" and I wanted to make sure that you were cool with me doing this. Thanks again! DoomsDay349 00:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Liancourt Rocks

I know that you are reviewing over your move of "Dokdo" to "Liancourt Rocks". I am requesting that you move the article back for several reasons.

First, we were still discussing over the article's name and the poll was not considered heavily as Parsecboy put it that it was "ruined". The poll was attacked by an enormous number of KPOV editors and then sockpuppets of "Liancourt Rocks" came and also polled. They were all removed. Your move was, in my opinion, quite abrupt, and you did not consult the rest of the participating editors.

Second, you only listened to LactoseTI and his list of sockpuppets of the Korean side. He did not put emphasis on the Liancourt Rocks side. There were many sockpuppets on the Liancourt Rocks and most of their votes were removed. However, the impression he gave was that the Korean side was just ruining the poll.

Third, about the Chosun Ilbo article that stated the massive fighting in Wikipedia, this was controversial too. User:Komdori put this on the talk page for what I saw as just more provocative issues. The writer of the article apparantly came here and made all the sockpuppets. I doubt that this would happen and I see it as a straw man sockpuppet just to make the Dokdo side look bad. There would have been Japanese newspapers and Japanese articles on a POV perspective as well that claim Liancourt Rocks though none of those articles were put on the talk page or discussed about.

Fourth, in the sockpuppet checkcase Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Lions3639, I feel that this was not a fair act. User:Davidpdx has been repeatedly arguing that he is not a sockpuppet and wrongly accused. I believe that this is not fair how only Korean side editors were accused of making sockpuppets.

Fifth, the poll was already in a controversial state by the time you reviewed it. It really was not accurate and many editors that voted for "Dokdo" did not simply vote because "Dokdo is under Korean control". There were a number of good reasons before the poll. Also, the poll was not in an obvious consensus towards "Liancourt Rocks" as sockpuppets damaged the results.

I feel that you did not completely see the case at the talk page of Liancourt Rocks or think more on the decision. I am not accusing you of your decision and I am sure you did that accordingly to what you saw and what other editors commented on your talk page about.

I understand that your decision is under fire right now and many editors are complaining of the decision. I only would like to ask that you fully reconsider your move and understand both sides. Thank you Good friend100 22:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a chance, could you review [[2]]?

Senkaku Islands is a similiar article to Liancourt Rocks. Instead of Korea administering Dokdo while Japan claims it, Senkaku islands is administered by Japan but claimed by China. There was a poll to move the article to "Pinnacle Islands" (an english name) or keep "Senkaku Islands". The poll was affected by Liancourt Rocks and whether it would be moved to "Liancourt Rocks" or "Dokdo".

Senkaku islands was kept because of several reasons including its usage and the administering country also affected editors' decisions as well. Senkaku islands and "Dokdo" both have similiar reasons as to why both were kept and not moved in previous polls. I agree that "Liancourt Rocks" should be consistent with "Senkaku Islands" in terms of naming. Good friend100 22:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Husond - I started a discussion about renaming Senkaku Islands. I realise the Liancourt renaming discussion was probably a big headache for you, but in case you're interested anyway, please take a look at the talk page[3]. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 03:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's even more absurd to name the island (Dokdo/Takeshima) after a French boat!!

Why should the island that belongs to either Korea or Japan (yet to be settled)be named after a French boat?? Since the island is still in dispute, it is more right to title as Dokdo/Takeshima, which will also indicate that it's in dispute, and not some French name. Audrinall 02:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your WP:Oversight threat

Given that Steptrip/Magnus has stated that he attends the school in question, may I re-add the information to the RfA? Jouster  (whisper) 01:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never stated the name of my school in that thread. « ANIMUM » 01:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to break in here but no, no and absolutely not. Just because he once commented in the past that his school IP was blocked does not mean you can go around publicising his school. And in response to your edit summary, oversight is not a threat but a very sensible measure in this instance to hide personal information. You are taking this to far Jouster. Please stop it. Will (aka Wimt) 01:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So, at what point does a user doff his or her cloak of anonymity? Jouster  (whisper) 01:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Common sense, Joster. And I second Will, you're taking this too far.--Húsönd 01:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I feel you're all being a bit too academic here. He has admitted that the IP in question is his, he has stated that he attends school at an IP block that is registered to the school in question, it was among his first edits, it's his most-extensively-edited page; any reasonable person would conclude it's where he attends school. Is there a policy on exactly at what point a user has forgone anonymity, in part or in whole? I seem to recall such a thing, but WP:ANON and Wikipedia:Privacy policy don't seem to mention it. I know that I can freely state that Jimbo Wales works for Wikimedia, for example. Jouster  (whisper) 02:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, but a causal reader won't know the IP of the school or check the Block log to find the IP. On a related note, I've already emailed the oversight request. Thanks, « ANIMUM » 02:11, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
True, that's how I found out that he attended a middle school/what school. But there's a great difference between discovering that information in such an investigation and a public statement such as the one you made at his RFA. You should be aware of that. Again, common sense. :-/ --Húsönd 02:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Patently absurd. You'll want to hit this one, then, too. Which is, might I add, written by... you. Jouster  (whisper) 02:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I did not mention the name of his school. You are apparently failing to understand the whole concept of private information. Please be WP:CIVIL. Thank you. --Húsönd 02:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, common sense time, then. You can say that he is a middle-school student. He can say that an IP address located in the same county as his most-edited article is his. The moment I combine those two facts, I am violating privacy? Jouster  (whisper) 02:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please explain this. I was trying to correct the problems you cited, in deference to your authority as an administrator with regards to the policies and procedures, pending the outcome of our discussion here. Why did you revert it? Jouster  (whisper) 02:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please refer to WP:POINT.--Húsönd 02:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't making a WP:POINT. I was doing what Magnus tried and failed to do, as noted here. Since you can't possibly argue that he intended to make two revisions, tagged with "oversight", in which he made absolutely no change, and then went on to admit the possibility of bias against my original intent in an operation that changed not a single character of what I said, your position is untenable. As I stated above, I was acting in good faith on your recommendation of what is and isn't allowed to be said, and I was trying to implement the change that I thought Magnus was trying to make.
While we're at it, kindly consider removing the image below. If you look back through my contributions and genuinely find me to be a troll, I'll be happy to change my ways. As it stands, however, I defused the Joseph incident, Magnus only made it worse. Take a look at my Talk page, and tell me with a straight face that I do nothing but foment discord. Let's keep things in perspective. Talking to every single person who opposes him over IRC to get them to switch to neutral is not conducive to a fruitful discussion of his RfA. I'm trying not to allow someone who I don't feel is fit to be an administrator to be an administrator. Were it not for your excellent coaching, he wouldn't have a WP:SNOWball's chance. As it is, you've given him enough rote administrator theory that he will be fine running through non-contentious AfD and 3RR, but you didn't instill the crucial humility factor that would allow him to avoid those areas where he doesn't have a full grasp of policy, and his interpersonal relationship skills are not up to the task of sorting things out when he makes the wrong decision as a result. Magnus is not ready to be an administrator. I, and those who agree with me, deserve to have our opinion without being pressured into changing it. Jouster  (whisper) 07:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You did nothing to control the situation, TT did all of that. My removal and replacing was so that the non-personal info (ie everything but the IP data) would still be visible if the diff was oversighted. While I do not believe it was your intention, I do believe you're only looking at our disagreements, not my disagreements with others. « ANIMUM » 22:59, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image removed. I just wanted to visually express that yes, I do think that you've been trolling a bit. And although I believe that it is not your intention to foment discord, I must say that that's exactly what you are causing. Since this fight began on Magnus animum's RFA, I haven't seen any efforts from you to cool it off. Please just get over it. As for the comments to the opposers, that's a very natural and common reaction. Users are free to express their disagreements with the reasons stated by those opposing. Take Yummifruitbat, for instance. I found his concerns very reasonable as I also used to share them, so I decided to tell him why do I think those concerns can be easily resolved. He later decided to change to neutral, but if he hadn't it would still be prefectly okay. No pressure. No big deal.--Húsönd 15:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother, but...?

Will you help me? An IP user redirected the article Onigiri to Rice. It seems to be a some kind of vandalism, but I don't know what to do. Will you please take a look at it? Thank you. --Oda Mari 06:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replied - your improvements need a little tweaking, but after that, it should look great. Hey, have you started up that Skyscraper project yet? Anyway, see you around... :) Spawn Man 03:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I seem to need help with Image:Boricuaeddie Counter Vandalism Center Logo.svg (I'm no good with images). I created the image using Inkscape and when I uploaded it, this was the result. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you. Yours truly, Eddie 21:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Do you have an e-mail address so that I can send you the image I created?

Thanks for your help. Yours truly, Eddie 22:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello (again). I just saw User:Husond/RFA and noticed that you had Image:Janitor's bucket with mop.jpg displayed in it. I'm just here to tell you that it will soon be deleted (July 1st) as the result of a deletion discussion on Commons. Just a heads up so you can satrt looking for another image to display. Thank you. Yours truly, Eddie 23:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was my pleasure alerting you of the situation. By the way, I know you had listed me in your page. That's how I found the image. :-) (I've had the page on my watchlist for more than a month, hoping I would be part of that list someday) It's really cool that you think I'm doing a great job. It's an honor. Happy editing! Yours truly, Eddie 23:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Your contributions are very influential. People are starting to think I should be an admin! Of course, I told him that I would wait for your review of my contributions before even thinking of someone nominating me for adminship. Happy editing! Yours sincerely, Eddie 22:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Húsönd. I'm sorry, but I wasn't requesting a review. It was just a comment. I know you're busy coaching G1ggy, The Random Editor, and Snowolf, plus all of your admins duties. I would feel terrible if I piled on the work for you. Please review me when you have nothing else to do and you're dying of boredom, even if it takes a year. Thank you. Yours sicerely, Eddie 15:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Thanks for the mini-review! Yours sincerely, Eddie 00:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding questionable content on User page

I'm not sure how to handle this, but take a look at User:Boblick. What tag, if any needs to be placed ther, because WIkipedia is REALLY not a dating site! Wildthing61476 02:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Husond, just as a heads up, I made 3000 edits today. I also noticed you're currently coaching Random, if you'd like to finish up with him before restarting with me, that's fine with me (I could probably do with more experience anyway). So if you could give me a heads up on what's happening, it would be great. Thanks, - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 07:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I look forward to it...although I don't think Magnus will be happy to hear that we'll be "easy coaching" ;) - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 22:55, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review (I just found it....somehow). I'll definitely do what you suggested (vandal fight and AIV). Looking forward to 4000! By the way, and what stage will questions appear on the subpage? - G1ggy Talk/Contribs 05:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Technical analysis article

Hello Husond,

Thanks for trying to help bring a resolution to the Technical analysis article. Let me please mention a couple of points that may not have been obvious about the editing dispute.

One individual in the dispute appears to be using several IP addresses, in making comments/edits to the Technical analysis and the Market Technicians Association articles. Earlier this week another admin closed the Market Technicians Association article to unregistered users, because the pattern there was similar to the IP address edits on Technical analysis. [4]

I've used the Technical analysis talk page to explain why those IP address edits clearly violate Wikipedia rules and guidelines.[5]

If you look at the recent history of the Technical analysis article, I trust you'll see that I've spent a lot of time cleaning up the language and placing reliable sources into the article. Also, Sposer (Steven Poser) is a published author and professional in the field, thus his edits deserve careful regard.

The edits from the IP address are inappropriate on their face; if you agree, then perhaps a block against unregistered users may be more in order than the current blanket protection.

Thanks again for your help. --Rgfolsom 15:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for looking again at the technical analysis article, and switching to the semi protection.

Warning

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Magnus animum; this is considered disruption. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. TomTheHand 17:23, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TomTheHand, could you look at this essay. To warn Husond about disruption the way you just did is just as disruptive. You could have at least written out a proper message, so as to not include the patronising "go and play in the sandbox" suggestion. Majorly (talk) 18:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I removed his first warning that called it Vandalism. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of Kairi (Kingomd Hearts) page

I believe that the edit war that caused you to protect Kairi (Kingdom Hearts) has been resolved or at least died done now. That being said, would now be a suitable time to remove the protection from the article page? (Guyinblack25 21:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Unprotected--Húsönd 22:19, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much (Guyinblack25 19:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks.....

....for the smile Husond, your one of the good guys. Ryan Postlethwaite 23:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am extremely offended by your accusations of vandalism. This is a real group that is starting to gain momentum, not just in the Bay Area, and we are trying to get the word out. Where better than on the internet? I can understand the need for censorship, but this is ridiculous. Please refrain from further discrimination against this organization. I wish you luck and prosperity in the future.

I was not aware of the rules on advertising on Wikipedia. It is not my intention to break any rules or do the site any harm through my postings. Would it be all right if I put up information that only described the group and did not pose as an advertisement?

Non-notable articles

Recently, I came across this troublesome User:Bakasuprman who is currently involved in a ArbCom case. He has created literally hundreds of one-line articles about obscure people without supporting links. I have speedy tagged some of these articles. Can you have a look into it?Anwar 13:45, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the diffs: [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]. All these articles were created almost a year ago. No links or context provided. No body seems to know much about the subjects concerned. However, some admins still believe these are not candidates for speedy. Is there any other suitable tag for deletion? Anwar 15:03, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie

I see that you are the admin coach for my good friend Eddie. I just wanted to tell you he would make a good admin. I believe he has been tough on fighting vandalism, making peace when multipal parties are "warring", and most important of all is the fact that he is not a mean Wikipedian!

I can't wait for Eddie to be nominated. I will be one of the first to vote. I also noticed that on some RFA's, there is a co-sponsor. If you would want me to co-sponsor, let me know.

Hello. Thank you for being so nice to my friend Patrick (Politics rule). He's new to RfA discussions and he's bound to make mistakes. Anyway, I wanted to ask you a question about Portals. I am currently trying to regularly update the In the news... section of Portal:Puerto Rico. Is there any other way I can help wih the portal? Thank you. Yours sincerely, Eddie 18:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I'll try to do what you suggested. Happy editing! Yours sincerely, Eddie 21:45, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I updated your RFA page, as Magnus animum is now an admin. Happy editing! Yours sincerely, Eddie 18:57, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bored

Hello there Husond. I just wanted to let you know that I'm bored stiff. I have been vandal fighting for a long time today, and I have reached my limit. I'm tired. Just wanted to let you know. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 00:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coaching

Hello Husond, I am interested in admin coaching. I do not know if you are currently accepting users for coaching, but if you would please talk to me about it here I would be thankful. Hope to here from you, --wpktsfs 01:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your time. --wpktsfs 01:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kaitlyn Bedford

Hi Husond. Could you maybe salt Kaitlyn Bedford. This is the 3rd time it's been created, and all three have revealed a childs information. Though salting isn't used for creations this far apart, it's probably good for a childs privacy. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 02:37, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
